Move Would Ban Unlawful Strikes . Under T-H Ruling WASHINGTON, Feb. 0 (ZD- Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech today ruled that John L., Lewis and the United Mine Workers engaged in unfair labor practices and said he would sign an order for the practices to be stopped. The effect of the order would be to keep the miners from con tinuing a strike for demands that are unlawful under the Taft Hartley Act. However, there is no bar to a strike for lawful demands. So what effect the ruling may have toward getting the . mines back into production is still problem atical. m ....... Keech's action came atop these other principal coal developments of the day: President Truman's fact-finding Board ended its hearings and began work on its report to the White House on. the dispute. The members said they hoped to have the report ready by Saturday. Once that report is -in, Mr. Truman can move under the T-H Law to get a court order for the miners to go back to work for 80 days. 2. The President ruled out any possiDinty mat ne would seize the mines. . He said he does not have the power and does not want it. Keech said he would sign the injunction to . stop ."unfair prac tices" when National Labor Re lations Board attorneys draw up the proper papers, probably to morrow. The Judge ruled against Lewis on every complaint. In the case brought by Robert Denham, gen eral counsel of the NLRB. These included Denham's charg es, first complained of by major soft coal operators. In the main lounge an or chestra will play for those who wish to do smooth ballroom dancing. Music in the Rendez vous Room will be furnished by a juke and here shaggcrs and jitterbugs will hold forth. The three Roland Parker lounges will be reserved for the mountaineers who like square dancing. Arnold Wilson will do the calling for the figures. "We .want everybody on the campus -and in Chapel Hill to come to the dance," Mary Jo McLean said. "It will be the most unusual dance we have ever hedd, and we want it to be a big success."

A series of seminars for the group will be conducted by TVA officials. Meetings will be held with George F. Gant, General Manager, and the following of fices will be visited: Division of Regional Studies, Division of Personnel, Division of Health and Safety, and the offices of the Chief Engineer, the Chief Conservation Engineer, and the Manager of Power. The students will view a test- demonstration farm and will visit the planned communities of Norris and Oak Ridge. Commenting on the trip, John A. Parker, head of the depart ment, said the department works in -close relationship with TVA and wih other planning agenc- ies in the region. The supporters of the de emphasis resolution charged that the emphasis on football was injuring the academic standing of the University. In addition to Long and Myatt, the resolution was supported on the floor of the Di by Bob Clampitt, Toby Selby and Jack Trippe. Opposing the de-emphasis res olution were Allston, Jim South erland, John Sullivan, Herman Seiber; Tom Sully and Vestal Taylor. The opponents of the resolution insisted that -winning football teams were desired by the alumni and had actually helped the University rather than injured it. Ions been given an opportunity to give to the fund. "Only one-fifth of the student body .has been contacted, accord ing to returns brought in Wed nesday night," Bursley said. "It is, not a case of extending the drive, but we want to make sure everyone has been contacted. Many students have stated that they would like to contribute, but have not been approached by their solicitors. "We're going to continue so licitation through next week, and Campus Chest workers will be in the Y every night until all returns are in." Bursley said, contrary to original plans, so licitors may bring in reports tonight also. "We want to fill up that board in the lobby." Chest Coordinator Dick Mur phy said that "although -we have set as our goal 100 per cent con tributions from all housing units, we want to emphasize that this goal is not an end in itself. One group has turned in donations from 100 per cent of its "resi dents, averaging $2.90 per per son; whereas, another group has contributed 100 per cent, aver aging less that a dollar. "One of the reasons that the competition was. not on a basis of amount contributed was that we did not want to discriminate against those who are not ' able to make a sizable contribution. But certainly the contributions represented by this last group entailed no sacrifice for any one." Murphy continued, "we should like to emphasize that if you can only make a small contribu tion in cash af present, - you should make use of the pledge card, which gives you two months in which to make a con tribution commensurate with your responsibility." Paradise Regained Coeds Date Again GETTYSBURG, Pa., Feb. 9 P) Eighty coeds at Gettsburg College may date again, starting tonight - The Women's Student Govern ment Association lifted a 7 o'clock curfew in force since 'Monday on the girl residents of Huber Hall. The Association imposed the curfew after $10 was reported missing from a room in the girl's dormitory. s E John Sanders, Cornish Make i Statements Raise Measure, Rpfcrendum Bill Go To Committee By Roy Parker, Jr. The proposed raise in stu dent block fees received ver bal support from student gov ernment administration lead ers last night as the stage waS set in the Student Legislature for action on the money ques tion. Attorney-General John Sanders, who said he was speaking for President Bill Mackie, asserted that the administration was "in clined" toward a fee raise, while Treasurer Andy Cornish, making a financial report to the legisla ture, suggested a raise in the structure. A bill calling for a raise of un dergraduate fees to $5.50 a quar ter from the present $5 and graduate fees to $5 from the present $3.85 was introduced in the Legislature by Finance Com mittee chairman Ben James, to whose committee it was referred. The bill is backed by Legislature Speaker Ted Leonard and - by Cornish. Graham Jones, Student Party floor leader, introduced his bill calling for a student referendum on the fee raise question. It would make the student body's decision binding on the Legislature. In his statement, Sanders as serted that "we (the administra tion) have not yet completely been convinced that a raise is necessary, but are inclined toward it, and it will probably be' a necessity." He said that the figures pro posed in the Leonard-CornLsh-Jarnes measure were the "abso lute maximum" that the adminis tration would consider, without providing the graduate students with increased services. Sanders also asserted that a student ref erendum on the question was "not legally necessary," since the Constitution gives the power to raise to the Student Legislature. Both Cornish, in his report, and the preface to the fee-raise bill, gave the reasons for the need of an increase as the reduced en rollment and as necessary "to allow student government to operate at the same level as it does at present. Graham Speaks WAKE FOREST. Feb. 8 (IP) Senator Frank Graham today mad a plea for America's youth to reject the idea of an inevitable third world war. "We must hold the line of freedom hopefully and peace fully, we trust, but unyielding ly," he declared "and unafraid at whatever risk" on all fronts. Graham spoke to some 900 persons who gathered in the college chapel to hear him - ad dress Wake Forest' College's Young Democratic Club. "We must try to get facts and ideas through the Iron Curtain which hides the prison walls of a police slate," he declared. Graham said "lhe idea of the fatherhood of God and the dig nity and brotherhood of all men. rejected as impractical these 2.000 years, has in the atomic age become the necessary idea of them all."
