Speak Always Puts His "Bess' Foot Forward. ... Eddie Allen, DTH Jester, Bathroom Tenor, Began Getting By -Lines at Early Age of 14 By Tomie Cates A yellow sheet oi- copy paper roll ed in a typewriter upon the table in the outer office of the Daily Tar Heel Office moves quickly as Eddie Allen, associate editor and self-styled court jester of the Daily Tar Heel office, types out the words to his next col umn while eager readers peer over his shoulder. Stopping at intervals, Eddie shifts his pipe to the opposite side of his mouth, fits it in the groove of his teeth, which he denies were broken off while biting the cap off a beer bottle, and makes remarks which immediately stop all typewriters as reporters yell, "Hey louder, I didn't get that." Even the sports editors have been known to come over - and say, "Let's have that one again."

Featured vocalist with the high flying "Dream Serenaders" is Moffitt Sherard, who was featured with Ned Reap's Graham Memorial xlance or chestra last evening at the Kappa Sig ma fraternity's pledge banquet-dance. Sherard gained a wide following on campus while singing with Freddy Johnson's band while a student under the Navy Pre-FKght program. The "Dream Serenaders" were or ganized just before Christmas of 1946 by Graham Memorial student union, to provide music for campus dances. Leader Reap and his band made an early start before the holidays began and met with repeated success in play ing for campus dances. Brightest feather in the cap of the "Dream Serenaders" was the selec tion of the band to play for the re cent March of Dimes dance at Woollen gym. The rapidly-filling date book of the student union band indicates that the campus has recognized a hit or chestra. Ned Reap, leader of the band, has many years of experience at giving the down-beat to his own orchestras. At State college in the Army Reserves and in Europe, where he played for the Bob Hope show touring army camps, Reap has gained for himself a firm foundation on the road to suc cess.

Rent Control Director Tells Increase Story Washington, Jan. 31 (UP) Philip Fleming, the director of the, umce oi .Kent Controls, has told the full story on the rent increase rumor. In giving the facts to a Senate com- mittee this afternoon, Fleming said he didn't know that a flat rent boost was contrary to President Truman's policies. Fleming explained that he e-avp th firreen lisht for a in tipt iT,T.QQ chiefly because the move would make 1 it easier for him to do the administra tive work that goes with his agency . . . because a flat boost would make jit unnecessary for him to deal with the flood of relief requests from land lords . . . requests which Fleming says now are pouring in at the rate of 25,000 a month. Fleming was called before the Senate Banking committee to explain what its chairman, Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, referred to as Wed nesday night's "comedy of errors." He admitted under questioning that he didn't know the President's policies on rent control when he told a subor dinate to prepare the order. It was run off on the mimeograph machines of the OPA, one of the agencies under Fleming's catch-all office. But at the last moment, word came from the White House that the President had killed the order. SHARING THE BURDEN Derby Line, Vt.

Laundries Promise Better Equipment Will Improve Work Durham, Jan. 31 (UP) There'a some hope for those new white shirts once vou get them in the word , from the North Carolina Association I Gf Launderers and Cleaners meeting in Durham. The men who used to cause those and tears in yur antiquated shirts promise they are getting a new type of equipment which presses and squeezes the dirt out without using the old sloshing and rubbing methods. They aren't sure when all the laun- ' dries will have the new equipment, however. For those getting down to the last of their shirts, the cleaners have a few words of wisdom. The life of gar ments depends on the quality of the goods, the laundry service, and the physique of the wearer. That physique business is a new slant coming from the man who clean your clothes. A heavy beard, the launders say, is like sandpaper on the collar. Large biceps are a terrific strain in the wrong places especially about the shoulders. And perspiration or sweat why it's just like pouring acid on your clothes. So if you want to make your shirts ! last longer get an office job, with air-conditioning. Playmakers' Scripts Available in Library Scripts for the Playmakers' next major production, a new play by Cid Ricketts Sumner based on her recent novel "Quality," are now in the re serve room in the library. Those who plan to attend tryouts in the Play makers theatre next Thursday and Friday are advised to read the script before trying out for parts in the play. Military Court Renders Trial Dismissal Verdict Tokyo, Jan. 31 (UP) The inter national military tribunal in Tokyo J trying former Japanese Premier Tojo and 25 co-defendants on alleged war crimes charges says it will render a decision next Monday on the defense i motion to dismiss the charges.
