There was disagreement in top administration circles as to whet her the coal strike had reached the stage at which the President should take the steps leading to ward an application for an 80- day strike injunction. The President's press secretary, Charles G. Ross, declined any comment whatsoever on either the coal or the steel strikes, which Mr. Truman has placed in the hands of Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman and Cyrus Ching, Federal Mediation Chief. The President recently said he would not hesitate to use Taft- Hartley if a national emergency stage arrived. He has been rep resented as replying on collective bargaining to end . the coal and steel strikes. Returning to the capitol from a midwestern invasion which he smilingly described as "bi-parti san" Mr. Truman made ready to intervene personally tomorrow night in New York's hot election campaign. The President, speaking from the White House aroun'l 9:25 (EST) as part of a political broad cast originating in New York, will concentrate his five-minute speech on: 1. An appeal to the voters to elect former Democratic Gov. Herbert H. Lehman over Senator Dulles (R-NY) in next Tuesday's special election. Talks Slated With Miners WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (AP) Federal Mediator Cyrus S Ching arranged to meet John L Lewis today, in a new drive "to end the 47-day-old coal strike. Prospects for early settlement of the big steel dispute remained un certain. Ching, the government's No. 1 trouble shooter in labor contro versies, made an appointment with Lewis at the United Mine Workers' headquarters here this afternoon. Authoritative informants said the Ching-Lewis talks may clear the track for a joint meeting be tween Lewis and soft coal opera tors in Washington next week. Unlike the steel industry, where cracks have developed, the coal operators held a solid front against Lewis' maneuvers to negotiate settlements one. by one. Coast Quake SAN DIEGO. Cal.. Nov. 4 fAP.

Sternberg has extended the poster entry deadline to this Monday. Because of the cancellation of the Wednesday night pep rally in Memorial Hall, there will be no judging of the posters here. -In stead, they will be displayed and judged at the parade to be held in New York, Nov. 12. Memorial Hall was unavailable for the pep rally Wednesday due to the appearance of hypnotist Franz Polgar. Life Magazine will take photo graphs of the Carolina parade and posters when it covers the Notre Dame weekend, Sternberg said, and plans are underway to obtain New York Mayor William O'Dwyer for judging of the post ers. The posters will be judged on originality and skill with which they are displayed, Sternberg said. He suggested that they be based either on football in gen eral or on Fomething pertaining to the game. A cup will be award ed for the outstanding poster by the Club. The cup may be seen at the UC booth in the YMCA. Entries may be given to any of the members of the Poster Com mittee, Sternberg, Jane Pruitt, Cokey Brissel, Sid Turner, or may be mailed to UC President Jack Holcombe at the Phi Gam house. Sixteen organizations hwe en tered the contest thus far, Stern berg said. Rules for the contest are not very restrictive. Financial Snag Hits ACL Road COLUMBIA, S.

Homecoming Display Of Old East; They Put1 By Wuff Newell Deciding on a display for Homecoming will be no problem for the boys of Old East Dormi tory. - Last year the boys took first place in the dormitory division of the Homecoming display con test. When the excitement of the victory had died down, the boys hit upon the idea' of a new dis play for each game. Why, they said, shouldn't visiting football fans who pass by Old East on their way to Kenan Stadium, be confronted with a' display fea turing the day's game each week instead of just once a year. And so an idea was born. Un der the leadership of dorm presi - WJ 1 Matthews (center) and Admiral UNC Origin Is Explained By Dr. Connor A movement which began "with little notice or understanding 189 years ago was responsible for our present system of colleges and universities, Dr. R. D. W. Connor said in a presidential " address last night at the closing meeting of The Historical Society of North Carolina, held here. Discussing "The -'Genesis -of Higher Education in North Caro lina," Dr. Connor said that the forerunner of the modern public school system was the academy developed at the beginning of the American Revolution. "The aca demy was the bridge between the conservative English . classical school of colonial times and the more liberal American public high school of -our own time," he said. "Moreover, the University of North Carolina is not the only institution of higher education which owes its establishment chiefly to the academy move ment," President Sonnor stated after tracing its history from 1760. He said that Davidson Col lege, Wake Forest and Duke Uni versitv also owe their origin to the academy plan. "The academy fulfilled it's mis sion to education," Dr. Connor concluded, and now it has yielded its place in the educational scheme of things to the modern public high school. . Mental Patients Get Better Care Cherry RALEIGH, Nov. 4 (AP) For mer Governor R. Gregg Cherry today asserted that North Caro lina has made "definite achieve ments toward the solution of our problem of the mentally sick; "But it must be remembered, Cherry emphasized, "that such achievement is but a basic begin ning." dent LeRoy Milks, the boys put up a different display for each of the remaining games. Soon it was almost traditional for game goers to wander by Old East and look over the latest display. This year with Gene Carpentar, new president, and Bill Strick land, secretary, leading the way, the boys have again presented a new display for each game, the boys painted a large map of North Carolina. In one corner was a dead N. C. State wolf and in another a Duke Blue Devil was making a hasty exit. A Ram was looking boldly into the face of a scared but determined, Deacon. AVC Selects Coed Veteran For Top Post Margaret Maud Thomas, graduate student from Birm ingham, Ala., is the new chair man of the Chapel .Hill and University Chapter of - the American Veterans Commit tee, the AVC said yesterday. Miss Thomas, a veteran of two and a half years service in the WAC, is a native of Ala bama, where she attended . Birmingham-Southern College and later taught in the public schools before entering the service. She succeeds John McCall of Charlotte in the chairmanship. Miss Thomas, in a statement . emphasizing AVC's policy of "forward looking veteran ac tivity on a community basis as well as on a national scale," pointed out that AVC opposes the totalitarianism "of the left and right, both of which are essentially reactionary on the fundamental issue of human rights." She added a hope that her election would serve to re mind women veterans that they are "more than welcome" in AVC. Other officers chosen. by the World War II veterans include William Y. Richardson, vice chairman; George B. Tindall, corresponding secretary; and John N. McCall, treasurer. Charles H. Hubbell and Sandy McEachern were chosen dele gates to the AVC national con vention to be held in Chicago Thanksgiving weekend. . The next meeting of the vet erans group will be held in the Presbyterian Church Annex Wednesday at 7:30. The pro gram will feature a talk by Dr. L. M. Brooks of the university faculty and a movie, "What is a Co-op?" All meetings of the group are open to the public. Many Places Support DP s NEW YORK, Nov. 4 Displaced persons studying tuition free at 97 American colleges this year are supported economically by their American fellow students, according to a survey released here today. College dorms, sororities- and fraternaties have offered room and board, or campus clubs have raised funds to pay for room and board in the local area. Whole campuses have supported benefit dances and art exhibits and ral lies to provide 160 DP students With incidental expense money. DP applicants to American col leges are screened initially by overseas staffs of World Student Refief and the International Ref ugee Organization. Next they are judged by an Academic Credit Review Board, which consists of college presidents and admissions officers. Final placement depends on acceptance by the college offering the scholarship. Will Not Bother Men Em Up On All Occasions A final warning to the Big Four members were the words "Look Out Duke, Welcome Dea cons." . ; Football games aren't the only events celebrated by . the boys. Last month Old East had its 156th birthday. A sign on the front of the building proclaimed "1793 1949 Happy Birthday, Old East." Just to make sure that the build ing understood that the celebra tion was for it, the boys gathered around it and sang Happy Birth day. Later that day the Old East residents were official hosts for the University Day program. v All work on the displays is done by the men living in the Payment Plan For NSLI Set By Department Mailing Schedule To Benefit Men With Low Serial WASHINGTON, Nov 4 (AP) lhe lower tne anal three digits of his serial numoer, the sooner a veteran will get his National service Life Insurance special re fund. lhe order in which checks will be mailed .beginning in January, was announced today by the Vet erans Administration. Under the procedure, veterans whose serial numbers end with 000, 001, 002, 003,, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, and 009 will be in the first group mailed checks. In the " second group are vet erans whose serial numbers end with 010 through 019. Next comes those with serial numbers end ing 020 through 029. This procedure continues until the final group 990 through 999 is reached. Approximately 16,000,000 vete rans are entitled to repayments totaling $2,800,000,000. ' Cheeks will range from a low of 90 cents to a high of $528, depending upon the amount of insurance a vet eran carried and the length of time he paid premiums. So far, nearly 13,500,000 vete rans have applied for refunds Applications are coming in at the rate of about 10,000 a day. There is, however, no deadline for filing Approximately 10,000,000 checks are expected to go out in the "first 10 weeks after payments begin. Some applicants will miss early payments even if their serial numbers end in low figures. This is due, VA said, to the fact that additional information must- be obtained from them. These ap plications will be handled sepa rately. VA said the method of pay ment was decided upon "after careful study of all factors as the most non-discriminating system that could be devised." Formerly, agency officials said consideration had been given to basing payments on the entire serial number. X-Ray Vision Trickster To Perform Next Week By Charlie Gibson Franz J. Polgar, the amazing hypnotist who has perennially become a favorite entertainer here by working pranks on stu dents whom he had imagining themselves either four years old, able to see through cloth, or drunk on water, is coming back next week. Two "Miracles of the Mind" shows will be presented next Wednesday and Thursday even ings at 8 o'clock in Memorial Hall under the auspices of the Student dorm. They try to take part in every campus event open to dorms, and more than once they have come out the winner. Both Dean Bill Friday and Chancellor Robert House have congratulated the men on the fine work they are doing, and this alqrie, they say, is the best reward they've received. "We enjoy fixing the displays,' Anies Daye, dorm adviser, said, "and we're going to continue to have even bigger and better dis plays." Which, by reading between the lines, simply says watch out, be cause Old East is out to win the I cup again.

Gay Spirits Are Evident At Pep Rally By Frank Allslon, Jr. WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Nov. 4 A noisy band of Tar Heel foot ball fans rolled into this center of Georgian architecture late to day, ready to cheer their beloved gridders out of the throes of their current two-game losing streak. Things started off with a bang tonight as the Carolinians added their dissenting voices to a mon ster "Beat Carolina Before Notre Dame Does" pep rally which was staged by William and Mary par tisans on the spacious parking lot adjoining the local stadium. An immense bonfire highlight ed the pep rally. Tar Heels were all for dousing the flames, but the preponderance of William and Mary partisans led cooler heads to convince the Choo-Chooites that staging a pep rally of their own near the Indians' war dance would "suffice " as a protest move. Pubs and drug stores were do ing a land office business to thirs ty visitors. The rambling Wil liamsburg Lodge, headquarters of the Snavleymen and the Tar Heel delegation, was overflow ing with Carolina adherents in various stages of sobriety and spirits. Many visiting undergraduates found themselves unable to ac quire accomodations in this rather small town and set out for Rich mond in search of lodgings, par ties, and party ingredients. They intended to hustle back early to morrow. Entertainment Committee. These programs, which are to be ad- mission-free to all University stu dents, will mark Polgar's- sixth and seventh appearances on cam pus since 1940. Newspapers and magazines have publicized Polgar as "the foremost modern hypnotist" be cause of such feats as his sypno- tism of the entire Georgia Tech football team the day before they were slated to play Aalbama Tech, with a list of defeats on their record that year, beat the favored eleven in that game. The next Saturday Polgar was hundreds of miles away to fill an engagement, and the Georgie team lost again. "Coincidence ol course," the Saturday Evening Post says, "but for the rest ol the season Atlanta papers were crying. "The Team Needs Pol gar!' " Every University student wil1 be admitted free on the first-come basis to either one of the twe shows next week in which Polgar will "mix mirth with magic", the SEC announced. However, students must bring I.D. cards and athletic passbooks to the Memorial Hall doors at o'clock whichever night they pre fer since no student will be ad mitted Thursday whose passbook was punched Wednesday.

It is well known hereabouts that after Carolina had jumped the gun to four straight victor ies, they hit a snag in losing to a fighting LSU squad by a touch down and just about slipped to the depths in losing to Tennes see in a 35-6 rout. last weekend. The local partisans feel that it is only natural the Tar Heels are up for the W & M fray and would like to strut into Yankee Stadi um next Saturday with another victory under their belts. Indians Are Ready But local sentiment does not indicate that it is the way the game will go. Never before has this town been such a hub-bub of excitement and activity. The Indian's little Cory Stadium has been sold out for weeks and over 20,000 fans are expected to jam their way into its confines. All week long Indian coach Rube McCrary and his aides have been losing sleep, in. systematically plotting the Tar Heel's third de feat and it appears that his eleven is at its highest pitch for tomor row s Z O ClOCK KICKOII. Both Carolina and W oe Ivl have played only one common foe, Wake Forest, and on the basis of these games, the Tar Heels have been installed heavy favorites. rhe Blue and White romped over the Deacons, 28-14, while the Indians were snowed under by Wake Forest by six touchdowns. However, many people believe that these comparisons are a waste of time. W & M regained some confidence last Saturday in running over Richmond, 34-0, while the Tar Heels are definnite- y down and out judging from ast week's exhibition against the Vols.

Weiner Back The Tar Heels on the other iiand are confident that this is the week to rebound from those two succesive lickings. The best news lor the Carolina iouowers is that incomparable Art "Hands" Weiner will be stationed once again at his flank post and eager to snare any kind of pigskin that comes floating his way. With Ken Powell in as good as shape as ever, the Tar Heel air-offense could catch fire and blaze their way to win number five. Of course, the Choo Choo, Char lie Justice, will be around for the fray and eager to -apply the steam after being somewhat throttled last week. Justice's replacement, Skeet Hesmer, will be also on hand to dole out trouble for the William and Mary defensive set-up. Wingback Fred Sherman and tackle Dalton Ruffin are the only Tar Heels on the doubtful list. Both are suffering from bad legs. To Be Aired The North Carolina-William and Mary football game will be broadcast direct from Wil liamsburg at 2 P.M. (EST) this afternoon. The clash will be aired over WSSB, Durham at 1:45 P.M. and also stations WGBG, Greensboro, and WTOB, Winsion-Salem will carry the contest. before.
