Chief Executive
Seeks European,
Inflation Action
Washington, Oct. 23 (UP)
To discuss and enact legis
lation to curb inflation and
aid for western Europe, Pres
ident Harry S. Truman today
issued a call for a special ses
sion of Congress on Nov. 17.
The step, which is expected
to hearten the hungry peo
ples of Europe and the inflation-hounded
people of the
United States, was revealed
today at a heavily-attended
news conference in the White
House. Mr. Truman, face
grave and ' his tone deadly
serious, said that increased
living costs are causing hard
ship in millions of American
homes and that they are im
periling the nation's welfare
and prosperity.
As for Europe, continued
the President, our govern
ment must take adequate
steps to meet the crisis be
setting democratic European
countries.
Truman Anxious
Mr. Truman is anxious to
tell the American people in
full the detailed back
ground of the twin problems
facing their lawmakers.
He will make a nationwide
radio broadcast over all
maior networks between 10
and 10:15 (EST) tomorrow
night.
The President says that he
'will recommend to the spe
cial session suitable meas
ures for dealing with infla
tion, high prices and the high
cost of living." And he said
he would also urge the Sen
ators and Representatives to
speed ut consideration of the
part to be plaved by the Unit
ed States in the Marshall pro
gram. Mr. Truman particu
larly stressed that foreign
aid especially for France
and Italy could not wait un
til January, the month Con
gress was originally sched
uled to convene.
The Republican Congress
men who conferred with "the
President promised to con
tinue the bi-partisan co
operation on foreign policy
which began after Pearl
Harbor. But they made no
pledge on the domestic situa
tion. Senate Democratic Leader
Alben Barkley said Euro
pean aid would come first
despite the President s state-
ment that skyrocketing prices
are his chief reason for call
ing the session. And he re
vealed that the aid program
has been broadened to in-
elude the American occupied
zones of Western Germany
and Korea as well as
France, Italy and Austria.
House Republican Floor
Leader Chaxles Halleck quo
ted Mr. Truman as saying
that the estimates of needed
foreign relief between now
and next March 31 have risen
to $642 million.
LOST IN t'RUSH
tt
There is at least one student
on campus for Whom the old
slogan "lost in the rush" has a
literal meaning.
The house was packed when
graduate pharmacy student Sam
Koonce walked into : his ; own
fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega,
went up to the desk, received
a name tag, and pinned it on
his lapeL 1 ' ' ,
Before he realized; what had
happened, the ATO Initiates of
the past year, not having seen
married-man Sam very fre
quently, gave him one of the
best rush jobs he had ever seen
in his six years as a fraternity
member.
Students for Democratic Action Hear
Shotts Say Germans Face Dark Future
- The Germans today are dis
couraged with the outlook for
the: future and are looking to
American democracy for a solu
tion., to their perplexing prob
lems, Claude Shotts, secretary
of the Y.M.C.A., declared Wed
nesday night as he appeared as
guest speaker of the Students
for Democratic Action in a dis
cussion of "Europe's Needs and
You." -
. Shotts was ' among the first
group of civilians to carry on
relief work ' in Germany follow
ing the end of the war, and was
stationed in Berlin for a year as
a representative of the Ameri
can Friends service.
Darmstadt, Cologne, Dussel-
dorf, and Dresden each exem
plified the destructiveness of
war, both in material damage
and ' '. "human ' consequences,"
Shotts said, and "you get the
impression while traveling
through' these cities that man
has turned against himself."
The country as well as the
cities1 are crowded with people
seeking a place of settlement;
Shotts asserted. In the cities peo
ple are living underground
"like rats" and thousands - are
making their homes 'in - the" air
raid ' bunkers, which house 300
persons.
According to Shorts' German
informants, hunger came to
Germany in 1942 when Goering
said that bullets were preferable
to butter and; the German peo
ple gave up their butter for
bullets. . 4g
Shotts recalled an experiment
conducted by the United States
government during the war
when some conscientious objec
tors volunteered to starve them-
Five Students Recommended
To Get Rhodes Scholarships
The names of five outstanding Carolina students who
have been recommended for Rhodes scholarships were re
leased yesterday by the office of Dean C. P. Spruill. They
are Irvin J. Erie, a senior from Short Hills, N. J., Donald
G. Henderson, senior from Chapel Hill, John E. C. Kapp,
a junior from Winston-Salem,
David E. Sobel, a junior
from New York City, and
John W. McGowen, a grad
uate student from Memphis.
These five men will rep
resent the university before
the state selection commit
tee which will select the state
tatives on December 10th. .
The basis for selection was
set down in the will of Cecil
John Rhodes, South African
diamond magnate; Qualities
especially desired in an ap
plicant are literary and
scholastic ability, moral force
and physical vigor. However,
any applicant who has dem
onstrated some exceptional
attribute of intellect, charac
ter or personality will be
given consideration.
" The two seniors, two jun-.
iors. and graduate student
ramoH to renresent UNC
will compete with other can
didates from all over the
IT. S. for one of these schol
arships which are valued at
approximately 500 pounds, or
$1800, per year.

selves for one year in an effort
to ascertain the effects on the
body. This experiment proved
that when feeding drops below
1,500 calories daily, certain body
tissues break up and the body
begins to eat itself. In Germany,
ae said, many people are re
ceiving 1,230 or less calories
daily, and the result is wide
spread disease.
In one classroom which Shotts
visited, 50 per cent of the stu
dents, as shown by skin tests,
had tuberculosis. Of this num
ber, 50 per cent had open and
contagious tuberculosis as prov
en by an examination by a Chi
cago physician.; -"There
is nothing the Ger
man dislikes more than charity,"
Shotts said in conclusion, but
his only escape from starvation
is the acceptance of aid from the
countries more fortunate than
Germany.
Picture Making
To End Wednesday
No show will be v the term
most applicable to the faces of
those who have not appeared for
their . individual Yack photo
graphs by the middle of nextl
week according to Yackety
Yack board member, Gene
Johnstone.
This blanket classification was
made because all pictures that
appear in the organizational sec
tion of the Yack are only a re
run of the original individual
photograph unless a special
group picture is taken.
The photographers from Chid
noff's have set next Wednesday
as the last day that they can
possibly remain in Chapel Hill,
x A,
and a trip to the home studio
in New York is the only alterna
tive open to would-be subjects
after that date. Special attention
was called to this fact by the
board of editors, because of the
fact that individual pictures
were able to be taken in Chapel
Hill after the 'final' deadline
last year.
"Unfortunately, this will not
be possible this year," said
Johnstone. He also announced
that medical students will take
up much of the photographers
time next week in asking that
all who want their picture in
the Yack come this week if at
all possible. .
Council
mens
Article;
By Chuck Hauser
A sharp denial that Wednesday night's joint meeting of
the Student, Men's, and Women's councils was "undercover,
secret, and unprecedented" as reported in the Daily Tar
Heel was voiced yesterday afternoon by Bill Tate, chair
man of the Men's council. -
Branding the DTH article
as. "misleading," Tate stated
that the councils were not
trying to put anything over
behind the students' backs
but were discussing a prac
tical solution to the problems
and overlappings of power
which arise between the
groups.
The term "unprecedented"
was totally out of place, Tate
said. "The councils meet to
gether several times a year,"
he continued, adding that the
DTH statement that "The ac
tion was not intended to re
ceive publicity" was false, in
that the action was to re
ceive all publicity possible to
let the students know what is
going on in their govern
ment. The question in the case,
which previously arose be
fore elections last spring, was
whether the Student council,
by reason of experience, was
any more qualified to judge
students' actions than the
lower councils.
The . constitutional amend
ment -which would have re
moved the Student cu.
an appellate board was de
feated in the general campus
elections held last May due
to the lack of a two-thirds
majority of students who
voted. The amendment, at
the time attacked by then
presidential candidate Tom
Eller, is now endorsed by
him. (See Eller's statement
elsewhere on this page.)
"The defeat of the amend
ment," declared Bill Tate
yesterday, "was due to lack
of publicitv in favor of the
measure." He went on to ex
plain that since all three
councils are elected from and
bv tbe student body. on
should not be considered
oualified to judge whether
the decision of another was
correct or not.

Pair Set to Appear
In Recital Tonight
Mr. William Klenz, violoncel
list, and Mr. Wilton Mason, pi
anist, will appear tonight ut
8:30 in Hill Music hall in the
first of a series of three recitals
of music for the violoncello.
Designed as a complete survey
of violoncello sonata literature,
the series will be continued on
October 31 and November 7. To
night's recital will consist of
duo-sonatas by Bach, Debussy,
Eeethoven, and Faure.
Bach's "Sonata II for Viola
de Gamba and Cambaio obli
gato," which will be performed
tonight, was written sometime
between 1717 and 1723, r during
pach's early five-year stay at
Cothen. The Debussy "Sonata
for Violoncello and Piano" was
composed during the summer of
1915, and represents Debussy's
final period.
I "Sonata for Pianoforte and perior from point of experience
ialoacello, - Opus 102, If o. .1," ..accessibility to adequate iniox
was composed by Beethoven in mation, and freedom from poli
July, 1815, and is similar tojtical pressure resulting from too
work of his final period. The; great a time period between the
Faure "Sonata No. 2 for Violon-
cello and Piano, Opus 117,"
again represents the composer
in his latest period, for it was
written in 1922.
Mr. Klenz and Mr., Mason
are both members of the Uni
versity department of music.

Meeting of CRIL
Rev. Charles Jones will set
the key-note for the year's pro

Each of . the religious groups
on all three campuses have two
official representatives to the
Council, but all students, re
gardless of religious affiliation,
are invited to attend. This first
of the regular monthly meetings
will afford an opportunity for
the students from the three col
leges to get acquainted and per
fect plans for the coming .year.
The purpose of this Intercol
legiate council which is affil
iated with other such councils
throughout the state and nation
is to meet together for friendly

'Secret' Meeting Upheld
Provision 'A Step Forward',
Says Tom Eller in Statement
(The following statement
was released yesterday evening-
by student body Presi
dent Tom Eller to answer and
explain yesterday's Daily Tar
Heel article on the joint meet
ing of the Student, Men's, and
Women's council meeting.)
"The meeting in question was
called by myself in an effort to
discuss practical procedures in
the three councils and for gen
eral discussion between the
groups. "
"The Joint group ended by
adopting two informal resolu
tions. The first was that since all
procedural adaptations for ap
peal to the Student council have
failed in effectiveness, the two
lower councils unanimously, dis
favored the process by which
a decision from the Men's or
Women's council is appealed to
another council made up of stu
dents until such a council can
be unquestionably proved su-
j decision m the lower court and
the appeal decision.
"The psychological factor in
volved when one student court
is reversed by another is detri
mental to the general integrity
and best effects of council op
eration. "The group also agreed that

Art majors, in a combined

ted Wednesday afternoon to sup

town windows in displays to
promote the drive.
Ruth Evans, president of the
Y.W.C.A., presented the project
to the art majors, making a plea
for their support. "The theory
of the W.S.S.F. is educate the

necessity, for a successful drive,
and that this would be accom

Shaw Sends Photo, 'Only True Likeness of Joan of Arc1,
To Hans Rothe, European Producer Directing Famous Play
By Mark Sumner
A photograph, believed by
George Bernard Shaw to be the
only true likeness of Joan of
Arc, was recently sent by the
about Irish playwright to Hans Rothe,
these j European play producer and di
i rector who is directing the Car-
j olina Playmaker production of
i Shaw's "Saint Joan."
The picture was made from a
piece of sculpture formerly in
the Church of St. Maurice, Or
leans, France, and now in Rou
en, France. Shaw mentions it
in hi3 preface to "Saint Joan"
as being the only authentic pic
ture of the French maid, al
though evidence is scant.
It was used on the program
cover of the World Premiere
production of "Saint Joan' in'
London, 1924, and according to

would be feasible to amend the
constitution in a way which
would remove the uncertainty
in the finality in any one court's
decision.
"The two councils which vot
ed felt that until such time that
the constitution was amended
in whatever way the constitu
ency would wish, the Student
council should cling to its re
cently acquired right of select
ing the faculty branch which
would ultimately be responsible
for hearing justifiable appeal
from the students.
"Heretofore this faculty group
has been selected by the faculty
itself, in cooperation with the
defendant and student govern-
ment. Under the proposed pro
vision the Student council would
select all members of the fac
ulty board without outside in
terference. "Naturally the Student coun
cil cannot both hear a case and
select the board which will hear
an appeal from it. In the opinion
of Ahe two councils and myself,
this procedure represents a step
forward in student autonomy
and complies with the letter of
the constitution.
"We sincerely hope that the
Student council will see fit to
adopt this procedure, as we con
sider it to be in the best in
terests of a sound student judi
ciary system.
"The meeting, of course, was
neither secret, unprecedented,
undercover, or unilateral."

Rothe saw the original pro
duction in 1924, and discussed
the picture itself with Shaw
when they met some years la
ter. Shaw believes it is a sym
bol of Joan's character and
wrote the leading part in his
play in that light.
"We have cast the play ac
cording to Mr. Shaw's inter
pretation of the character as he
explained it to me in London,"
said Rothe.
