Relation Tense
Warns Byrnes
However, Discounts
Inevitable War Talk
Washington, Oct. 18 (UP) Sec
retary of State Byrnes said tonight
that he is disturbed by the growing
tension between the United States and
Kussia. But Byrnes dismissed as both
dangerous and unwarranted talk of
an inevitable war between the United
States and Russia. In his first report
to the nation since his return from
the Paris conference, Byrnes offered
Russia our friendship and coopera
tion. But the State Secretary served
notice on the Soviet government that
we will not stand for any arbitration
reversal of decisions reached at the
Paris Peace Conference.
Theme East-West Split
Secretary Byrnes reported to the
nation tonight on the state of inter
national affairs.
The theme of his talk was the east
west split. Byrnes said he recognized
that the split existed, and that he was
disturbed by it. Yet he was emphatic
on the point that it did not mean
war. The South Carolina diplomat
blasted away at the belief that war
with the Soviet Union is inevitable.
Such talk, he said, is not only dan
gerous, but unwarranted as well.
The former Supreme Court Justice
assured Russia that we would never
join other powers to gang up on her.
Said Byrnes
"We shall continue to reject the
idea of exclusive alliances. Wg.. shall
refuse to gang up on any state."
But the secretary also served notice
on Russia that we will refuse to be
pushed around or be made to sacrifice
our principles.
His speech tonight was the first in
a series of speeches on American for
eign policy. Tomorrow night, Sena
tor Vandenberg, who accompanied
Byrnes to Paris, will make a nation
wide broadcast. And next Wednes
day the opening of the United Na
tions General Assembly in New York
President Truman himself will make
a 25-minute address.
Carolina To Meet
Navy Eleven Today
Tar Heels Attempt
Win At Baltimore
Carolina s Justice and Com
pany are set to go all out to pro
tect an undefeated record this
afternoon, when the Blue, and
White eleven meets the Naval
Academy Middies at Baltimore.
The kickoff is scheduled for 2 :30
Coach Carl Snavely is out to
spoil the proud boast of the Mid
shipmen that the Tar Heels have never
beaten the Navy on the gridiron; in
fact, that Carolina teams in the past
have never scored a point on the Mid
dies. Past statistics have little to do with
the battle on tap for today. The Navy
will probably find little Choo Choo
Justice blowing that touchdown
whistle several times during the aft
ernoon, not to mention linebusting
fullback Hosea Rodgers and the will-of-whisp
wingbacks Jim Camp and
B. K. Grow.

opening session of the UN General
Assembly next week. A White House
announcement that Mr. Truman will
speak for 25 minutes indicates that he

Large Reward Posted
In Windsor Gem Theft
London, Oct. 18-(UP)-The Duke
of Windsor is reported to have made
an offer of ten thousand dollars re
ward for the return of his wife's stol
en jewels.
Justice, who was kept mostly under
wraps against Maryland last week,
showed enough in his first two col-
! legiate games to stamp his greatness
as authentic. Against V.P.I, he scoot
ed 68 yards for a touchdown. Against
Miami he streaked 65 yards for an
other. His rushing average in both
games was a fat 14.8.
Behind Justice at tailback are three
boys named Bill Bill Britt, Bill
Myers and Bill Baceyko. All four are
short, compact, pony backs, not of the
big strapping size most coaches like
to see in their tailbacks.

Team Beds Down as Caravan
Special Train Leaves Durham
By Bill Sexton '
The Carolina Football Special pull
ed out of Durham Station last even
ing like a thousand other night time
trains across America partly dra
matic, dark, and a little late.
In fact, most of the excitement
that overflowed through Chapel Hill
dormitories, gas stations, and bus
stops was entirely lacking. There was
no crowd, no singing, no Blue and
White crepe.
Team Readying for Bed
Only a handful of passengers were
in the old coaches a group of girls
and several bunches of boys who
hadn't had time to introduce them
selves. Up ahead in the five pullmans
most passengers including the team
had their curtains drawn and were
readying for .bed.
Carl Snavely stood in the vestibule
between the two sleeping cars carry
ing his boys, joking with an alumnus.
However, he could feel that his boys
were in safe hands for District Pas
senger agent J. S. Bloodworth per
sonally took charge of the Caravan
for the trip.
The Caravan consisted of five pull
mans with 27 berths each and two
coaches. The Tar Heels boasted a
greater Caravan than Duke, for the
Duke special last week-end consisted
of only four cars.
At 8:50 p.m. the conductor waved
the highball to engineer Wallace Wat
son, a veteran of 30 years of railroad
ing. He pulled back the throttle and
the train departed.
It was very quiet in Durham Union
Station. Perhaps the Carolina root
ers were conserving their strength
for an all-out support of their team
in today's battle with nationally re
nowned Navy.
The handful of people on the plat
form, most of them waiting for later
trains, waved goodbye.
From the team's two sleeping cars
-NC 1 and NC 2 you could hear a
slight cheer from the darkened berths.
Limited Capacity of Memorial Hall
Necessitates Adoption of New Plan
A subscription system for student entertainment programs has
been adopted for this year due to the large overflow of student en
rollment, Dr. J. P. Harland, head of the Student Entertainment
committee, revealed yesterday after conferring with University
officials and the student committee. "We felt that it would be un
fair to collect the usual fee, knowing
that only approximately 25 of the
student body could be seated in the
auditorium," the Student Entertain-"

ment head said.
Dr. Harland pointed out that the
present enrollment of nearly 6,800
students would mean that over 4,200
would be entitled to Student Enter
tainment tickets and since Memorial
hall will hold only 1800 people, the
new system was necessitated.

Chapel Hill Markets Show Counters Display
Juicy Chuck Roasts, T-Bones, Sirloin Supply
. - l. , - ;- .... ...
By Roy C. Moose
Riding on the crest of skyrocketing prices, meat, meat, and more
meat made a dramatic return to the show counters of Chapel Hill
markets amid the gleeful cheers of protein-famished families this
week. A general tour of the markets downtown revealed juicy,
chuck roasts, rib roasts, T-bone steaks, &
sirloin steaks, hamburger, liver, stew,
and many other sought-after meat
items.
Fowler's Market
Fowler's Meat Market seemed to
offer the greatest selection possibly
since their meat comes from local
sources; consequently delivery was
much faster. However, on thje aver
age steaks and roasts are about ten
cents a pound higher than while OPA
was in effect. T-bone steaks ae avail
able at 78 cents a pound as compared
with 68 cents under OPA. Present
prices of other meats at Fowler's are:
stew, 35 cents; round steak, 65; chuck
roast, 49; rib roast, 59; hamburger,
49; and liver, 82. Prices on chicken
have remained stable, but Fowler pre
dicted that with the return of all
types of meat to the counters, chicken
prices may be forced down a little
in the near future. They now remain
at 85 cents for fryers and 65 cents
for hens" dressed.
Asked why meat had not been avail
able under OPA with the great num
ber of cattle in this area ready for
market, Fowler replied, "the dead
weight price was so low that we could
not buy cattle on the hoof, dress it,
and sell it at any profit." He explain
ed that under OPA cattle on the hoof
sold at 20 cents a, pound while dress
ed meat brought only 25 cents a
pound, a difference oiLonly five cents
for the cost of killing, dressing, pack
ing, and shipping. "That was ten
cents a pound cheaper than we could
afford to sell it," he stated. ;
Shield's Received Meat Yesterday
Across the street at Huntley
Shield's Home Store, the first side of
meat was received yesterday to 're
tail at the following prices: round
steak, 65; sirloin steak, 75; T-bone,
79; chuck roast, 55; rib roast, 65;
rump roast, 65; and hamburger, 60.
This is slightly higher than at Fow
lers, however the butcher stated that
"We have been promised 6y the meat
deliverer that the prices will be cheap
er next week."
Still higher prices were encountered
at Pender's with T-bone and sirloin
steaks retailing for 85 cents pound
and round steak 65 a pound. Lamb
roast was available at 45 a pound.
However, it was explained that Pen
der's charges according to each in
dividual packet of meat received and
since there are several different pack
ers delivering to them, prices, al
though fluctuating, will be lower in
general.
Little Received Yet at A & P
A check at the A & P showed that
only one side of meat had been re
ceived and no prices have been quoted
on it as yet. Reason given for the
absence of meat there was,, that Jhe
A & P is a chain store dealing in west
ern meat and a few more days will
be required for meat shipped from
the west to reach Chapel Hill. A
statement on prices was witheld for
the time being.
In most places, it was evident, the
meat is there, available to the house
wife, but whether the housewife will
buy at present prices is problematical.
"The faults of student government
lie in the fact that the constitution has
not been fully approved," said Tom
Eller, newly-elceted speaker pro-tem
of the student legislature, adding that
the present confusion could not be
cleared up until the document receives
full approval.
May Send Out Speakers
In an executive session before the
regular meeting the Di passed a reso
lution establishing a committee to in
vestigate the possibility of sending stu
dent speakers throughout the state to
support the $30 million budget request
before civic organizations.
It considered urging . Chancellor
House to expedite full operation of
the constitution by submitting it to
the trustees as soon as possible, but
delayed final action until regular meet
ing next Wednesday.

Hope To Improve Theater At Home ....
Foreign Students Here to Learn Playmaking
With University Dramatic Arts Department
By Brooksie Popkins
Three prominent foreign students, Quentin Brown of Canada, Peter Bucknell of England and
Carlos Rico of Colombia, have come to the University this year to study with the Playmakers, all
three of them planning to practice the theories of dramatic art they learn here with the hope of
inspiring a better theatre back home
in their own countries. .
Already they have been taking an
active part in the work of the drama
tic art department under the head of
Samuel Selden. And on October 19, at
the annual fall conference of the Car
olina Dramatic association, jointly
they will give a discussion of the
school and community theatre in their
respective countries.
Carolina Because of Playwriting
Quentin Brown, born in Toronto and
having completed the work for his
B. A. at McGill university, chose
Carolina to do his graduate work
because of the fame of the playwrit
ing classes in the dramatic art de
partment. Mainly interested in de
veloping better theatrical facilities
and productions, particularly in On
tario, Brown gained his first exper
ience in dramatic art in class pro
ductions at Friends Academy, Locust
Valley, L. I., where he finished his
high school training.
