Of Nomination
Opinions Differ On
Atomic Energy Head
Washington, Feb. 21 (UP) The
Republican party is splitting right
down the middle over the nomination
of David' Lilienthal as chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission. Ohio's
Senator Taft came out this evening
with a blistering attack on Lilienthal
as an alleged bureaucrat who is too
soft with communists and with Rus
sia. That put Taft in direct opposition
to Senate President Vandenberg of
Michigan, who went on record earlier
today as a Lilienthal supporter.
Stassen Supports
Now the only avowed Republican
candidate for president in '48, Harold
Stassen of Minnesota, has given his
backing to the former TVA head.
Stassen told a news conference that
on the basis of evidence so far taken
by the Senate Atomic committee, he
would support the Lilienthal nomina- j
tion. Furthermore, he predicts that the
nomination would be confirmed de
spite the powerful opposition of such
men as Taft, Republican party whip
Wherry of Nebraska, and Republi
can Senate Leader White of Maine.

Rameses Will Plug for Buz This Evening
All Because of Bath for Duke-UN C Game
By Sigsbee Miller
Rameses, Carolina's horned hero
of the gridiron, will butt in on the
radio air waves from coast to coast
this evening, all because of an autumn
bath and a box of soap powders.
It all started last fall when the
Daily Tar Heel editors, taking note

agreed that the job had been left un
done too long and, they approached
Rameses on the matter.
Rameses, accustomed to being the
goat of worse jokes than this one, sub
mitted to the operation with only
mild protests. So Rameses got his
bath and came out all sparkling white
for the Duke-Carolina brawl game

Welfare Members
Term New Level
Warranted Rise
By Ed Joyner
Customers of trie University
laundry will be paying approxi
mately 30 per cent more for their
laundry work next month fol
lowing a rate increase wnich will
go into effect March 1, a week
from, today.
The decision to make the increase
was made after the matter was pre
sented to the executive committee of
the Student Welfare board by J. S.
Bennett, supervisor of operations.
The committee, which consists of
Dewey Dorsett, Charlie Warren, and
I ran Golden as student members and
J. S. Bennett, C. P. Spruill, and E.
L. Mackie as faculty members, agreed
unanimously that the increase would
be warranted.
Immediate cause of the increase as
given by administration sources is a
20 per' cent plus pay boost for the
laundry workers authorized by the
State Legislature in its bonus bill for
state employees. This increase is
paid by the state in cases of non self
supporting departments siich as teach
ing, but self-supporting departments
such as the laundry must take care
of the increase from incoming reve
nue. Lose $1,000 Weekly
Another factor in the rate jump is
the fact that the income of the laun
dry has failed to meet expenses since
the Navy pre-flight school closed in
the fall of 1945. With the new pay
rate in effect and at the present laun
dry rate, J. S. Bennett, supervisor of
operations, estimates that 'the laun
dry would lose a possible $1,000 per
week.
Even at the increased rates, the
University laundry charges will re
main an average of 3 per cent less
than the lowest rates charged in the
Chapel Hill area. At present they
33 per cent lower than other
laundry rates in Chapel Hill.
Almost Same at 1921
With the exception of a straight
10 per cent increase made six years
ago, the present rates are the same
as they were when the University
started its first laundry in 1921.
One expected result of increased
pay for the laundry workers is the
probability of getting more and bet
ter labor and consequently more ef
ficient laundry work.
More Than 200 Cabbies
Face Police Questions
In 5. C. Lynching Case
Greenville, S. C, Feb. 21 (UP)
Every taxicab driver in Greenville
has been rounded up in a final drive
to complete the case against the white
mob that lynched Willie Earle, near
Pickens last Monday, leaving not a
cab on the Greenville streets. Sheriff
R. H. Bearden has rounded up some
200 drivers for screening and ques
tioning and already has 27 detailed
confessions from white men, most of
them cabbies, who admit being in the
party that dragged the 25-year-old
Negro from the Pickens county jail
in the gloom before Monday's dawn.
The sheriff says he already knows
who fired the shot that killed Earle
on a back road near Pickens, and he
adds that the man who fired the fatal
shot is a cab-driver. The bulk of the
lynching party was made up, of cab
bies who wanted revenge for the
crime of which Earle was accused.
The Negro was held for the stabbing
and robbery last Saturday night of
cab-driver T. W. Brown.
Two others, identified merely as
"prominent" Greenville residents, also
pre bp'nsr held. But the names of all
suspects are being withheld until ad
u:vniial suspects are questioned.
Authorities have been helped out
in their probe by statements from
jailor Ed Gilstrap, who was forced to
open Earle's jail cell, as well as by
statements from his daughter who
watched the raid from her upstairs
apartment.
