Earlier today, General Motors offer ed a temporary ten cent per hour cost of living increase to 265,000 hourly rate employes. The United Electrical Workers union was the first to reject the GM offer, on the ground that it was unsatisfactory. Reuther Statement TTien Walter Reuther, President of the United Auto workers, said the in crease fails to meet the higher living costs. The UAW is demanding "a "23 and 3 half cent increase. However, Reuther said the offer will be pre sented to GM workers for a decision. The third union involved in the offer, the United Rubber workers, has made no comment on the proposal as yet. At the same time, the Auto Work ers union also has filed strike notice against the Chrysler corporation. The union has been negotiating with Guysler since last October over a 23 and a half cent hourly pay hike. Local 'Mr, Solved by Hush 9 Mystery Telephone Call The mystery of "Mr. Hush" has been solved. But the lady who iden tified the Daily Tar Heel's now in famous picture will not receive a trip to New York with all expenses paid. However, she ' does have the thanks of a bewildered staff whose members had sought vainly all week long to find out whose photo the newspaper had run over the name of W. Raymond Taylor of the Wom an's college. Eager beaver DTH reporters and headline writers vied for the honor of solving the riddle, but none came close. The University news bureau was also in the dark. Just as one of the DTH night editors was being credited with "the perfect crime," the phone rang. A very pleasant-voiced lady was on the other end. One sentence later the mystery had been solved. The man in the photo was L. P. McLendon, prominent Greensboro attorney and member of the Board of Trustees. "Mr. Hush," or rather Mr. McLendon, who at present has a son registered in the University, has made no comment. The DTH staff, still slightly con fused, apologized to both Messrs. Taylor and McLendon. WinnerofCMH To Give Talk This Evening Graham Memorial to Present Famed Imitator Wednesday Aquinas to Sponsor Father O'Callahan Father Joseph T. O'Callahan, S. J.

Between 1932-34 he served as pastor of a Methodist church in South Dakota. These sermons are being presented by the Council for Religion in Life and are organ ized around the Hazen books on Religion. The CRIL, now under the direction of Ben Perl mutter, has presented many able speakers in this year's series. The organization has at tempted to get, in so far as possible, the au thors of this series of books. That failing, it has gotten substitutes as competent and engaging as possible. DR.

V A iNavy citation - ."v HL Navy- citation-read, "When the carrier was turned into a floating in ferno by the aerial bomb and the explosion of her own ammunition and bombs,' Chaplain O'Callahan left his battle station on the island bridge to go to. the blazing flight deck. There he administered to the wounded and dying of all faiths, organized and led fire-fighting crews, braved already burning ammunition magazines, jet tisoned live ammunition and manned a hose to cool hot bombs rolling dan gerously on the listed deck.

Jerry Daridoff, chairman of the Union, will open 'the discussion, fol See DISCUSSION, pes mand as an entertainer. Once he went from the front lines to Paris for two weeks to entertain Albert, King of the Belgians, and Generalissimo Ar mando Diaz of the Italilan army. Back at the front, he suffered a sharpnel injury in his left hip, but he explained, "I entertained all the fellas in the hospital." Just 15 years later he did the same thing for King George V of England at Buckingham Palace. Speaking to a graduating class at Georgetown university, Father O'Cal lahan said, "Almost everyone intends to take life seriously, but too often this resolve degenerates into a case of self-delusion. Many who think that they are taking life seriously are ac tually only taking themselves ser iously. Who takes himself seriously is over-conscious of his rights; who takes life seriously is fully conscious of his obligation." Campus Leaders Participate Participating in the forum will be leaders of campus affairs who can give all sides of student opinion on the sub ject.

CommunicationGenterGetsPowerTruckfromArmy 18-W heeled Unit Has Generators N By Raney Stanford Director Earl Wynn and staff members of the University's re cently organized Communication center, which is badly in need of funds to carry on an ambitious pro gram, have come to a conclusion that there must be a Santa Claus after all. At an estimated cost of only $150, the Center ha3 secured a gigantic 18 wheeled truck and trailer, valued at $106,000, from the United States Army Signal corps, to be converted into a radio strength field testing unit. This means, explains O. W. Hungerford, technical director of the Center, that the new equipment will be used to test the strength, range and coverage areas of ordinary radio sta tions, and of new frequency-modulation and television transmitters.

Valued at $106,000 and secured at a cost of only $150, the truck and trailer pictured above will add valuable equipment to the University's newly organized Communication center. They will provide a radio strength field testing unit and valuable equipment for the Center's motion picture production program. Hungerford said, the truck and trailer will fit in well with Center motion picture production, being able to run cameras, lights, and sound recording equipment in any place not served with power outlets of suf ficient strength to do this type of work. - "We obtained the vehicle, and all the technical equipment contained in it, through the government disposal of surplus military properties," Director Wynn explained. "They told us if we could get it from Baltimore to Chapel Hill, it was ours." During the week's vacation between the winter and spring quarters, four student veterans, George Aycock of Richlands, Robert L. Dewar of Fu quay Springs, Clyde K. Brooks o Ware Shoals, S.
