A resolution calling for formation of a volunteer com

prices held Thursday night in
Gerrard hall. are wearing out, and that
The group also passed a there is a demand for post

al legislation to curb excess natural competition for all
profits
Presented by Kenneth Mac
rorie, the resolution was
amended to . provide that the
committee be composed of all
those present who would
sign to serve on it. Both res
olution and amendment were
passed with no dissents.
Four Speakers
Four speakers were on
hand with prepared com-!
ments on the situation. Lead
ing off this group was Clay
Cochran of the economics de-
partment who scored the
litical side of the subject,)
quoting figures on the actual
rise in living costs since the
death of OPA. After he ex
plained that veterans, farm
ers, small business men, and
white collar workers were
the big losers in the present
economic setup, he rendered
a poem taken from the Dem
ocratic national committee
publication blaming Senators
Taf t and Wherry and the Na
tional -Association- of Manu
facturers with the 'killing' of
OPA. This was greeted by
laughter from the audience.
Kottke's Analysis
Dr. Frank Kottke, also of
the economics department,
attempted to explain the rea
sons behind present inflation

possible future results.
Kottke said that present

Russell Is Peeved
By Open Dictionary
Phillips Russell, whose
classes in 'creative writing'
have been ranked among the
top in the nation, seems to
think of journalism students
and the large dictionary on
his desk simultaneously.
While conducting: his short
story class yesterday, Mr.
Russell looked at his diction
ary, almost sighed, and said,
"For 17 years we have tried
to find a journalism student
that will' close the dictionary'
after looking up a word. Ws
haven't succeeded yet."
A young Australian news
man named Davenport, a"
member of the class, looked
around hhn .at some of the
budding journalists, smiled,
and replied, "Perhaps they

on both local and national
consumer goods, resulting in
high prices. He pointed out
that Congressional tax reduc
tion and repeal plus foreign
demand for our scarce goods
worsen the situation.
Forecasts Inflation
Although proclaiming that
he. was in no way condemn
ing the Marshall plan, Kottke
said that the Marshall plan
will probably heighten these
inflationary pressures. In the
future, he reminded, Europe
must continue to buy more
po-(than she sells without the
power to pay for it.
"The people," he said,
"fear more rises," and when
these come they will be fol
lowed by an increase in
wages. Then, business will
feel that more price rises are
necessary although labor will
charge that the situation will
be only a pretext for price
rises.
Following Kottke's presen
tation of the overall situation,
Nell" Morton, executive sec
retary of the fellowship of
Southern Churchmen, ap
plied her facts to the local
situation. - She pointed out
that fit the present time the
farmer is-being caught in a
squeeze between low prices

and blame for high prices be

explained later by L. B. Roger
son in charge of University eat
ing places, when he was reached
at his office. Pointing out that
he prefers statements on mat
ters of-policy to come from him,
he stated that the obstructions
met with earlier were no doubt
results of liberal interpretations
of his request.
In regard to employees' ques
tions or complaints, he said, "If

Regarding the grievances
which had come to the attention
of this newspaper and others,
he explained them in general
terms, made a categorical de
nial of them, and introduced
figures to prove his points.
He explained that the dis
charging of Carl Sparrow (re
ferred to in Thursday's DTH)
was because, "We just didn't
need the services he had been
performing anymore."
He denied the employees'
charge that the Negro help was
going to be laid off at Christmas
time, stating that "our turnover
is very small." ,
Asked to give his opinion in
regard to employee satisfaction,
hereplied, "I don't know."

France Lacks Leader
AsBlum Is Voted Out
The riot-torn nation of France
was without a leader tonigm
after the national assembly re
fused to accept Leon Blum as
premier of a new French Gov
ernment. The aged Socialist
who had hoped to lead his coun
try down the middle road to
political seeurity failed to get
a vote of confidence by just nine
ballots. '
The vote came tonight after
Blum made a blistering address
alienating both extremes of the
political spectrum. He charged
that international communism
has openly declared war on the
French democracy. Then, he
turned" Id u tnTigh t-wing forces
and denounced the followers of
General De Gaulle- for trying to
set up a dictatorship.
The 75-year-old Socialist ask
ed the assembly to authorize a
government, that would steer a
middle course. between the right
and the left. ... . A course dedi
cated to liberty, peace and so
cial justice."
But the plea of the frail,
white-haired statesman was
turned down.
As the assembly refused to
authorize Blum's program to
save France from political chaos,
strikers battled police in the
streets of Paris. The clash oc
curred when workers tried to
seize two factories.
Presidency Given

The group which Chancellor
House will head is composed of
42 universities, junior colleges,

Proud Duke Students
By Dick Jenrette
When Duke and Carolina
come to battle again this af
ternoon there will be some
56,000 fans present whose
attention will be centered on
22 men in the big Durham
horseshoe stadium, but the
reason that this series ranks
as one of the most colorful
and interesting in the South
is not just the fine games
that the two teams usually
play but also the rivalry be
tween the two neighboring
cheering sections, memories
from past games, two well
drilled bands, and the roar
of a mighty crowd in unison
to applaud some great play.

To See Durham Struggle
By Bob Goldwater
Today is D-day, C-D day, that is, with all the trimmings
that always surround the annual classic. It's Snavely versus
Wade, Justice against Folger, and so on right down the
line. It's the clash both teams have pointed for all season
long. The old North State, football fans throughout the
nation, various bowl committees . . all await the outcome.
In short, today is the day that Carolina and Duke fight for
supremacy on the gridiron. j .
Zero hour comes at 2 o'clock and the struggle will be
waged on the Duke stadium battlefield. Over 56,000 people
are expected to be present, making this the largest crowd
ever to witness a football game in the South between
Baltimore and New Orleans. j
And they'll see quite a game too! Despite the fact that
the Tar Heels are slight favorites and that the BJue Devils
will not be at full strength physically, the intensity of the
old rivalry now in its 34th year will be an incentive for
each team to give it the old college try. And in keeping
with the battles of past years, anything can happen today.
Seek Sixth in Row
" Both clubs have more at stake today than just a triumph
over their number one foe. For the Tar Heels, a win will
carry them to their sixth straight win, the longest streak a
Carolina eleven has rolled up since the big season of 1935.
It provides a Blue and White team with its initial success
on the Durham field since 1935. Then too and it's useless
to sidestep the issues a win, which would be the seventh
in nine games, would keep Carolina in the running for a
bowl invitation. .
As for the Blue Devils, they can capture the Southern
conference title for the 10th time in the past 15 years
should they emerge on the long end of the score. A Duke
loss would place William and Mary in the enviable position
of having only Richmond stand in the way of "ai conference
championship. The Devils are also slightly victory-starved,
having lost two straight contests before being held to a
scoreless tie by South Carolina last week. Today's tilt being
their final scrap of the season, the Wademen will be trying
to end the campaign in a successful manner.
In one respect, the game shapes up as a battle between
Carolina's highly-geared offensive, which only began to
demonstrate its power in the past four outings, and Duke's
defensive might. Coach Carl Snavely plans to use the back
field combination of Charlie Justice, Walt Pupa, Jim Camp,
and Don Hartig, the same quartet that opened in 1946, as
his offensive unit. Justice and Pupa will provide the one-two
punch, Charlie supplying the lightning threat around the
ends and the big fullback handling the thunder through
the middle.
Kodgers Ready
Also ready to see action should he be needed will be the
Carolina ramrod, Hosea Rodgers. The big boy from Alabama
has missed the last two games with an injured knee, but
he has been declared fit by the Carolina trainers and will
take over for Pupa whenever called upon. Rodgers boasts
the best running and passing averages on the team, with a
.516 completion percentage in the aerial department and a

as the winner in today's con
test, but the proud Duke stu
dents generally seem to scoff

ed by a Daily Tar Heel re

When this student was asked
to state the reasons for his
statement, he could come up
with no more conclusive
proof than "Duke's got a bet

Snavely Sets Off
'Beat Dook' Rally
By Herb Nachman
In a spirited pep rally dem
onstrating the traditional Caro-
flina, "Beat Dook" spirit, last
night approximately 2,500 Tar
Heels with flaming torches cir
cled the campus gaining "mo
mentum" with each note of the
band.
Spirits were high, as well as
the guys who had them. After
building up into a through-and-through
Tar Heel rally ,the
group was . veritably "set off"
after coach Carl Snavely's
speech in the middle of fne in
tramural field.
, As-coach-Snavely - began- his
talk, a hush fell over the mass
of students. "I want there to be
no doubt that we are meeting
a team that is at its peak. Sev
eral members of the team have
remarked to me about the won
derful support which the team
receives from you students. The
team is depending on that spirit
tomorrow," was Coach Snave
ly's essential remark.
At the end of practically
every sentence shouts of "Beat
Dook," "Get 'Em Tar Heels" and
"We Got 'Em" rang through the
group. Coach Snavely mention
ed the so-called propaganda
which has been circulated con
cerning the Duke stadium "jinx"
and their injury riddled team.
In commenting the coach urged
the students not to be suckers
for "propaganda" and to give
the team wholehearted support.
Before the rally ended with
the customary singing of "Hark
the Sound" around the roaring
bonfire, the Pi Kappa Alpha
trophy for the best banner or
float was presented to Sigma
Chi fraternity for the second
successive year. The float, with
a figure of Coach Snavely on
top was entitled "Snavely Goes
Bowling."
Even the .close of the planned
rally put no clamps on several
hundred students who followed
Cal Blyth as he scurled marches
on his Scottish bagpipes from
the field back to Hill Hall,
where they staged their own
private pep rally.

There was another question
that was fired at the Blue
Devil supporters, and that
was what happened in the
Duke -South Carolina game
(0-0 tie) last week. Most of
them were stumped by this
but one finally came to the
rescue with the very logical
answer that Duke was psy
chologically down for that
tilt and this same astute
observer thought the Devils
would be on edge for the
Tar Heels.
