B. Rogerson said yesterday. The move, originally planned for both this weekend and next, will allow the University-operating dining hall to cut basic prices for vegetables and other dishes now- selling for five cents. It vill also allow the eating place to eliminate one shift of workers. Rogerson explained, however, that the plan will not mean any laying-off of " workers.

Almost Normal Traffic Reported On Southern A R T .DTTFh Mav 12 -iff) Southern Railway head quarters' here reported tonight that almost normal passenger and frieght service had been restored in the Carolinas. The rail system cancelled al- ' most all trains after a strike call of firemen was set for 6 o'clock Wednesday. 5 Whether the firemen in : the Carolinas actually were called out remained a debated question. L. B. Johnson of Farmville, general chairman of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginement for the Southern Railway, asserted in Atlanta that only 1,200 of the brotherhood's 3,000 members on the Southern were called out. Johnson said they responded 100 per cent. Southern vice president H. W. Bondurant of Atlanta asserted flatly that all firemen in the system were ordered to strike, and he added that "some of them did respond a lot of them did not." The Southern's lines east head quarters in Charlotte said freight traffic in the Carolinas was again practically normal and that 32 passenger trains had been re stored in addition to those put back in service yesterday. World, Nation, State News In Brief By lhe Associated Press ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN President Truman yesterday credited government action with providing the "salvation" of business by storing up private enterprise against "socialism, communism, and all other 'ism's." WASHINGTON Senator Chavez (D-NM), a Roman Catho lic, yesterday denounced Louis Budenz. accuser of Owen Laiti more. as a lying publicity seeker who "advertised his conversion to Catholicism" and who "has been using the cross as a club." CHICAGO Hopes lor an early break in the crippling strike against four key rails systems arose yesterday as the striking locomotive firemen's union made a new peace otfer and the car riers were reported studying it. LOS ANGELES The government yesterday moved to force lower gasoline prices with an anti-trust suit which also wants to spike California's long-time voluntary oil conservation program. Seven major companies, named in the civil action, denied wrong doing and pointed out that a U.S. grand jury last year ended 18 months of studying their records without returning an indict ment. WASHINGTON Posiermaster General Jesse M Donaldson yesterday indicated he intends to stick by the cutbacks he ordered last month in the postal service. He said he does not think the cutbacks are of a great inconvenience to the public end thinks a large percentage of complains were 'inspired by lhe Letter Carriers Union. ATLANTIC CITY CIO President Ftolip Murray yesterday said his organization is fighiinS communism while Congress pUys politics with Ike issue and business groups "are content to it on their fat rumps." Service Weekend He also asked that any stu dents or groups who wish to pre sent ideas, plans, or problems pertaining to University-operated eating- places, contact members of the student control body. The group was appointed by student body President John Sanders to act as a student sounding board for the University eating place administration. Librarians Hear Speech By Johnson Because North Carolina is "one of the most, permanent of the states as a result of its approach to a remarkably well-balanced economy, it is all the more im portant for this state to develop its culture to the highest attain able level," Gerald W. Johnson, noted author' and former head of the University of North Carolina Journalism Department, said here last night. "This can be accomplished only by maintaining contact with what the old Roman, Marcus Aurelius, called 'the reason of our common nature,' which is most readily found where it is embalmed in books," he said. Degree I n Won't Be A college degree in business administration may not be the key to a job these days, but it's beginning to 'play a more im portant part in many positions in the business world. So states a supplement ' to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, recently prepared for Veterans Administration by the . Bureau cf Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor. ;-me of the information in the supplement is to be incorporated in a forthcoming revised edition ..f 'the Handbook, which will be available . to the public through the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington' 25, D. C. Meanwhile the supplement has been distributed to V-A advise ment and guidance officials who use it as an 'aid in "counseling veterans. ' . "Demands for business grad uates should continue to in crease in future1 years," the re port predicts. But, it adds, com petition for job openings is ex ceptionally keen. , The reason simply is that the number of graduates of college business courses today is more than triple the highest pre-war total. The f Occupa'tional Outlook supplement points' to two pos sible, bright spots in the employ ment picture. Gl Insurance Refunds Are Almost Complete More than 13,000,000 dividend checks, totaling $2.3 billion, have been mailed thus far to present and former policy holders of Na tional Service Life-insurance, Veterans Administration an nounced today. The 13,000,000 checks repre sent the bulk of the slightly more Dixie Solons FEPC Debate May Be Cut WASHINGTON, May 12 P) Senate majority leader Lucas (111) served notice on Southern Democrats today that he may take steps Wednesday to cut off debate on his motion to bring a Fair Employment Practices Com mission (FEPC) Bill before the Senate. Lucas told the Seriate this would be done if the Dixie Sena tors opposed to the controversial civil rights measure would not agree o let the Senate debate on its merits. Jhere is no likelihood that the Southerners will consent to such an agreement. The bill would set up a com mission to see that there is no discrimination in hiring, firing or promoting workers because of Kcir nn rnir. rciicion. or na .... 'tional origin. Co m m erce Key To job 4 Rains Stop Frosh Tennis The rains came yesterday, af ternoon on 'the Varsity Courts to wash the Carolina freshman-Elon varsitv tennis match right off the books with the Tar Babies lead ing, 4-2. , - - . ' ;; Five matches must be com pleted before a meet can ge into the books. Had the Tar Babies salvaged one more match, victory would have been theirs. The freshmen were leading 4-0 in the second set of the number two doubles match after taking the first set, 6-4, and seemed headed for a certain win. Tar Baby Bill Izlar, who took mrov the Carolina nuinuei slot after Del Sylvia was declared ineligible earlier in the season, finished the season in fine style, smashing the- Elon ace, Bill Win stead, 6-0, 6-1. Izlar's easy win was particularly impressive in view of the fact that Winstead is the North State Conference sin- . gles champion. Deprived of what seemed a sure victory in their finale, the Tar JBabies still managed to fin ish the season with a highly respectable overall record f eight wins and four losses. than 14,500,000 applications re rpvpd to date for the $2.8 bil lion total dividend payment. ., It is estimated that 16,000,000 former and present policy hold ers are entitled to the dividend. The 14,500,000 applications re ceived to date leave 1,500,000 pol icy holders to be accounted for; but, of the latter figure, about 500,000 represent deceased policy holders, with the dividend pay ments going to their beneficiaries, estates, or next of kin. Thus, approximately 1,000,000 policy holders have 'not iipph'co for the divident yet; however, with applications coming in at a rota rtf 5s 000 ner week, this fig- ure will be reduced before June 130, 1950, when the dividend pay ment job is scheduled to oe vn- tually completed. tnV annlirations convrg m after June 30 will be processed as they arrive. - . .
