resident Truman Removes All Controls On Meat Products
P
Surprise Order
By Executive
Effective Now
Supply, Demand Laws
To Determine Prices
Washington, Oct. 15 (UP)
All controls on meat ceased
this morning-" following Presi
dent Truman's surprise an
nouncement in a speech to the
nation last night. Beginning to
day, nothing except the laws of
supply and demand will control the
prices of livestock, meat, and live
stock feeds.
Truman explained in his broadcast
over all networks that he acted with
obvious reluctance in ordering decon
trol of meat an action contrary to
the recommendations of his own De
control board and contrary to his
own convictions. But, he says, removal
of the lid on meat was the only way
out of the dilemma, a situation he
claims was created by the refusal of
livestock growers to sell their cattle
at government-fixed prices.
Warns Cattlemen, Packers
But the President "coupled the de
control order with a warning to pack
ers and cattlemen alike: "The people
will know," says Mr. Truman, "where
the responsibility rests of profiteer
ing on meat raises prices so high that
the average American cannot buy it."
The President blames what he calls
selfish interests in the livestock indus
try and a reckless group in Congress
for forcing his hand. He charges that
these two groups combined to defeat
the administration's original price
control law last summer.

First Post-War Football Caravan
Will Make Baltimore Trip Friday
By Roy C. Moose
Carolina's first post-war Football Caravan gives promise of sur
passing any of the rousing, spirited, pre-war gridiron jaunts as
late tallies show 2,500 tickets have been sold to the Carolina-Navy
battle to take place this Saturday at mammoth Municipal stadium
in Baltimore. An additional 1,000 tickets received by the Ath

bare 500 remain for the nationally
spotlighted contest this weekend.
Special Leaves Raleigh, Durham
The Southern Railway has sched
uled a special train for Carolina fans,
which (will leave Raleigh at 7:45
o'clock and Durham at 8:45 o'clock
Friday evening" arriving in Balti
more in the morning. Due to leave
Baltimore at 9:00 o'clock Saturday
evening, it will arrive in Durham
at 7:30 o'clock Sunday.
The Athletic Association has ex
pressed concern over the fact that
coach accommodations on the train
are being provided for only 20$
students. "With 3000 tickets being
sold for the game, it looks as if
there won't be room on the train 1 Crook.
unless the majority of the students
go by other means," remarked Ver
non B. Crook, Athletic Association
Office Manager. None of the coach
seats are reserved, the policy being
first come, first served. Round trip
coach fare for the trip has been
set at $15.02.
No Special Bus to Durham
Concerning getting to Durham and
back, Crook said the Athletic Asso
ciation is making no provisions for
overflow service by bus .and students
would have to arrange private trans
portation. "A questionnaire was dis
tributed with the tickets, to be filled
out by all those desiring Chapel Hill
Durham transportation, but the stud
ent response was so small we could
not arrange for busses" explained
Paris Parley, Near End,
Hears Molotov Hit U.S.
Paris, Oct. 14 (UP) The Peace
Conference will become history to
morrow afternoon. The last of the
peace treaties that with Finland
has been approved, and all other busi
ness on the agenda has been taken
care of. All that remains is the final
speech-making.
Today's business session was the
hottest yet. At times, our Secretary
of State Byrnes had to be all but
physically restrained, so incensed was
he at the speech made by Russia's
Foreign Minister Molotov. For even
with the end of the peace-making in
sight, Molotov was as caustic and
critical of this country as ever.
Unsatisfactory, Says Molotov
The Russian foreign minister said
that the terms of the peace treaty
were "unsatisfactory." He .called our
. policies and those of the British at
Paris "domineering and dictatorial."
And most important of all, Molotov
hinted that he would use. the veto to
nullify all the recommendations Rus
sia opposed, when the Big Four meet
to write the final peace treaty.
The Big Four foreign ministers
will meet in New York on November
4 to start writing the final treaty
drafts for the five Axis satellites. On
the insistence of Byrnes, they have
agreed to discuss the question of Ger
many's future including a peace
treaty during the New York meeting.

electioneering methods o f Senator
Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi cham
pion "of "white supremacy" and self
styled Ku Klux Klansman are being
investigated by the Senate war in
vestigating committee, which has
disclosed that it is looking into charges
that Bilbo accepted a $25,000 con
tribution from a war contractor dur
ing his successful campaign for re
nomination in Mississippi's Democra

Chairman Allen Ellender of the
Senate campaign investigating com

Winecoff Wins Grid Contest
- -
Picking 17 Games Correctly
Winner Is Wrong in Only Three Encounters;
Predicts 34-7 for Carolina-Maryland Tilt
Winner of last week's Graham Memorial football contest, by a
very close margin, in a field of more than 1,000 contestants, is
Harry Winecoff, of Pettigrew dormitory. The Indiana-Illinois,
Oregon State-Southern California, and Ohio State-Wisconsin tilts
were the sole missteps for Winecoff,
who predicted a fairly close score of
34-7 for the Tar Heel game.
Second and third respectively in
the contest, each predicting wrong
only three games out of the twenty,
but missing the Tar Heel score by a
wider margin, were Jack Collins, N.
Columbia street, and John L. Green,
9 Steele dormitory.
Goldwater Improved Average
Bettering by ten per cent his last
week's average of two-thirds correct
predictions, Daily Tar Heel sports
writer Bob Goldwater trailed close be
hind guessing the UNC score to be
34-0.
Edward G. Rabil, James Webb,
Charlie Fulton, Bob Phifer, James
Hedrick, and DeWitt Butler all gave
the correct 33-0 figure for Carolina.
In a general survey of entry blanks,
contest officials expressed the opinion
that roughly 40 per cent of the home
game figures predicted the Tar Heels
to score between 30 and 36 points.
Student body president Dewey Dor
sett proved a better prognosticator
than Daily Tar Heel sports editor
Irwin Smallwood, missing only six,
to Smallwood's eight, while DTH edi
tor Bill Woestendiek equaled Dorsett's
score of only six wrong, as did en
tries signed by "Lena the Hyena,'
and "Kilroy."
Trailing the field was last week's
contest winner, Chuck Heath.
Main stumbling block to most en
tries was found in the last three
games on the blank; the VMI-Virginia,
William and Mary-VPI, and
Washington - Washington State
clashes.
In the contest for this coming week,
and following weeks, only one blank
may be entered by each contestant.
Score should be marked for the Carolina-Navy
game only, and ties indi
cated for any games desired. Contest
officials cautioned all to use a dark
pencil, and black in the box beside
chosen winners completely?
Fifteen hundred blanks were dis
tributed to the YMCA office and Gra
ham Memorial this morning. Tradi
tional rivals, among the twenty games
shown on each blank are, Princeton
Rutgers, Brown-Dartmouth, Illinois
Wisconsin, and NC State-Wake Forest.
