Letters were forwarded to all
campus and town organizations
yesterday announcing a campus
wide protest meeting against
high prices to be sponsored by
the American Veterans commit
tee and the Southern Confer
ence ior Human Welfare on
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock
in Gerrard hall.
According to Aubrey Wil

meeting is being held to focus
the attention of the campus on
rising prices.
-"Through this process of air

constructive program will
emerge that" will prove far more

Congress Meets
: Timed to coincide with the
opening of the special congres
sional session in Washington,
Williams pointed out, a unani
mous agreement on a price pro
gram here at the University will
serve as one yardstick of public
opinion for Tar Heel representa
tives in the congress.
The program will include
brief talks by faculty, student,
and town leaders on various as
pects of the situation. Follow
ing this the floor will be opened
for resolutions on the subject.

degree of inflation."
Speaking before both houses
of the Congress which he had
called back to Washington in
recognition of the critical situa
tion now existing in Europe and
in our own country, the Presi
dent called for a ten-point pro
gram to combat inflation here
at home and to assist Europe
inrougn tne economic crisis
there.
: The President indicated that
Congress in passing such legis
lation will achieve a double
barrelled objective hold down
prices at home and make it
easier for the country to aid
Europe.
In outlining the situation
which must be remedied, the
President said that Austria,
France, and Italy have nearly
exhausted their financial re
sources, and that starvation faces
millions in these countries un
less ; we act quickly. He called
for aid to the already revealed
extent of 597 million dollars to
prevent this calamity.
Moving to the domestic situa
tion, i Mr. Truman pointed out
that since controls were remoced
in the middle of 1946 cost-of-living
items have risen 23 per cent,
clothing 19 per cent, and food
40 per cent. He further showed
that, in the past four months,
the cost of living has risen at
annual rate of 16 per cent.
He said, "The housewife who
goes'Ho buy food - today must
spend 10 dollars for what 7
dollars bought a year and a half
ago."
He asked Congress for the
power to put ceilings on wages
and 3 prices and to bring back
rationing, but he emphasized
that he would this authority
only if it became absolutely
necessary.
Deans Will Issue
Student Auto Tags
Campus automobile licenses
for those students in the Arts
and Sciences and the Com
merce schools who registered
their cars earlier this fall
have been removed from 207
South building to the offices
of Dean William Wells and
Dean D. D. Carroll, respec
tively. Students in the General
College may still get their
windshield stickers at the
registration desk at the head
of the third floor steps in
South building.
Dean Fred Weaver, after
handling the distribution of
these tags originally, urges
all student car owners who
have not yet picked up their
campus licenses to do so "immediately."
Dean's Office Says
Thief Still Lurks
In Unlocked Rooms
Petty theft still sneaks around
the campus, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday by
Dean Fred Weaver. "Because of
students' carelessness and their
forgetting to lock their rooms,
especially during football week
ends," Weaver stated, "two more
cases of larceny have been re
ported through my office."
While Harry LaRue attended
the Tennessee . game, a Smith-
Corona typewriter was stolen
from his room -on the third floor
of Lewis dormitory. Late last
Wednesday night Matthew Crisp
left a $75 Hamilton wrist watch
in the wash room of Miller hall,
missed the watch the next morn
ing, and could not find it.
Bill Smith, University dormi
tory manager, made a poll of
students' dormitory doors earlier
this term and found that from
50 to 100 rooms are left open
"any afternoon" when their oc
cupants are gone. He strongly
urged that "this and all other
carelessness with personal prop
erty be avoided."
More Grail Tickets
Go
To
Approximately 400 tickets
for the Duke weekend Grail
Dances will be placed on sale
from 8 this morning until sold
out in the YMCA, Grail Dele
gate Jack Fitch announced
yesterday.
The tickets 400 each for
the two dances and concert
were left over following two
days of selling last week.
Price is $3.00 per couple for
each dance and $0.75 per per
son for the concert.
Despite directions to the
contrary on the printed dance
tickets, Fitch said, the dances
Friday and Saturday will be
semi-formal: coats and ties for
men, evening dresses for
dates.
Phi Assembly Will
Discuss Federal
Anti-Lynch Law
Heading the agenda of the
Philanthropic Assembly when it
meets on Tuesday night at 9:00
p.m. on the fourth floor New
East is the proposed Federal
Anti-Lynching Law, slated to
come up again at the current
special session of Congress.
The bill is to be introduced by
Chester Brunnen, Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee.
Professor Clyde Cass Carter of
the Commercial Law Depart
ment has been asked to present
the case for the bill. Several
other faculty members have
beea contacted to speak against
the proposed law. Leading the
debate for the bill are Phi mem
bers Bob Coulter, Herman Sie
ber, Emily Baker, Phil Morris,
and Lester Sneed. The opposi- j
tion will be lead by George
Rodman, Mintie Cantrell,
Charles Dixon, David Sharpe,
and James McNider.
The Assembly bill states in
part that the Phi favor action
by Congress to make Federal
law enforcement agencies re
sponsible for the prevention and
prosecution of lynching and
crimes involving mob action.
The adherents for the enact
ment of the federal -statute cite
the fact that the bill would be
beneficial to the cause of law,
order and justice in the south
ern states, while the opponents
say that legislation upon this
matter would be unconstitution
al and the need for the law is
slight since there was only one
case of lynching in the United
States in 1945.

Today is the final day for

Unity in Big Four
'Must' for Peace,
Winiewicz Declares
Warning that "the Ger
mans at this moment are spe
culating on the disagreements
among their former enemies,"
Jozef Winiewicz, Polish Am
bassador to the United States,
urged last night that Ger
many should not be recon
structed sooner than other
countries of Europe because
of the possibility of another
wer of German instigation.
"The information we Poles
have from Germany indi
cates," he declared, "that a
new underground movement
is working there which is bas
ed ideologically on the same
principles that led Germany
to aggressive wars in the
'past.
"Nothing would give the
Germans more pleasure than
an open break among the
great, powers, a rift among
the United Nations," the am
bassador said. "Nothing
would suit Germany better
than a separate peace con
clude between the western
German zones and the West
ern allies which some impa
tient people are advocating."
Former Editor
Winiewicz spoke in Ger
rard Hall at the University
tonight under the joint aus
pices of the Carolina Politi
cal Union, non-partisan stu
dent organization, and the
International Relations Club.
Presiding were Bill Patter
son, CPU chairman, and Will
Kemp, head of the IRC.
Longtime editor of one of
the oldest newspapers in
Warsaw, Poland, the Ambas
sador was Minister Counse
lor of the Polish Embassy in
London during the war and
was a member of the Polish
delegation to the Peace Con
ference in Paris in 1946. He
came to the United States as
Ambassador last January.
Tracing the history of Ger
man aggression during five
wars, which he said that na
tion had instigated in the last
century, the ambassador said
that his country is more con
cerned vith post-war Ger
many than any other question
at the moment "First, we are
concerned because the power
of a United Germany has con
tinually menaced our inde
pendence, and secondly, be
