Tobin Defends Non-Use Of Taft-Hartley;
Less Than 200 Present In Memorial Hall
by Bob Slough.
Secretary of Labor Maurice
President Truman and his seizure of the steel industry in a
speech last night in Memorial
The turnout for the former
was so small, less than 200, that
the Student Legislature recessed
to attend.
In a question and answer ses
sion following, Tobin defended
the action, of the President and
said it was far better than any
other means of preventing a steel
crisis.
"The President's seizure of the
steel industry was the best vehicle
for the continued production of
steel " Tobin said.
One of the questions put before
Tobin after the address was "Why
was the Taft-Hartley law not in
voked?" Tobin said the act calls
for a cooling off period of 80 days
and the strikers had already pro
longed the strike for 120 days.
"The strikers would have walk
ed off the job after the 80 day
period had ended and there would
be no way of returning them to
their jobs, he said.
Tobin spoke mainly on the two
theories behind the depression
. and the policy followed by the
New Deal Administration. He
said one theory believes in the
inevitability of the depression due
to fluctuations of the business cy
cle while the other recognizes the
fluctuations but not the inevita
'. bility. : f:-
"The first theory," Tobin said,
"calls for hands off and is the
policy followed by the Republican
administration prior to 1932. The
second theory calls for the gov
ernment to try to stop the depres
sipn, and this is the policy the
Democrats have followed since.
1932, he added.
Tobin said the Democratic Ad
ministration has resisted "the er
ratic behavior of stock markets,
bank failures, unemployment and
farm failures." Purchasing power
is the key to successfully combat
ing depression, he said.

Now Hope Foe Nov Hopo
'Religion
Boosts Dying
by Ruth Hincks
Thirty years ago a dozen Bap
tists under the leadership of J. F,
McDuffie. and J. O. Franklin de
cided to build their . own church
since there was none in that small
rural community of New Hope
They could not afford a con
tractor so. all the people worked
together from spring to late fall
and finished their church.
The Deacons found other pas
tors from the universities and sur
rounding towns. But at the be
ginning of World War II their
young pastor, a Duke student, left
them to serve as a Navy chap
lain. They looked in vain for
many years to find a new one.
Until a year ago last fall when
Franklin, chairman of the dea
cons now, heard Carroll Taylor
preach at a noon-day service in
Gerrard Hall. He went to him
and asked the 19-year-old to be
come the hew pastor.
Taylor is also assistant manager
of the Carolina Theater here. He
was offered an executive position
with Paramount-Studios after he

Two students in Old West
Dormitory showed their opposi

day by hanging a large "sign
from a third floor window but
removed the banner at the re
quest of an administration - of

ley, Statesville, and Richard Ed
mundson, Freemont, made the
banner from an "old sheet andv
paint found in the hall." The
banner said ,"To Heck With
Saturday Classes."
Brumley said he had put up
another sign earlier in the day
saying "To Hell With Saturday
Classes" but it was removed
while he was out of the dorm.
Believing the sign had been re
moved at the order of adminis
trative officials, Brumley said
he changed the wording to
"heck."
"Ray Jef f eries (assistant to
the Dean of Students) came up
this afternoon," Brumley said,
"and asked me if I would re- "
move the sign because Secre
tary of Labor Tobin was on
campus. I asked him about
the political posters that were
hung from the dorms during the
elections and he said 'we just
let them slip by.'"
Jeff eries pointed out he asked
Brumley to remove the sign
"which he didn't seem to mind
doing. I did not order him to
do it."
Brumley said that he and Ed
mundsoa got the Idea yesterday
morning while discussing Sat- ;

if he would go to their training
school. But he refused. "I knew
that I could only be happy as
minister," he said.
Taylor is a junibr in the school
of Religion here. When he grad
uates next year he will go to
Southwestern Seminary in Fort
Worth, Texas. He told this story
of the McDuffie Memorial chape
as Franklin told it to him:
'Franklin and his family have
put their hearts into their church
Once when it looked as if the
community might lose the church
to their creditors, for they had
bought all the building materials
on credit, the Franklins were
ready to sell their large farm to
save the church. . .
The membership had fallen of
during those years without a
preacher. Now there, were only
10 &r 12 really interested. But
by summer, Taylor built up the
membership to 80rand many Sun
days the church would bugle with
123 worshiper.s

Approval Committee Rejects Smethurst,
Jaffe And Provokes Two-Hour Wrangle
by B. Morton
Student legislators spent a torrid two hours last night de
fending two of President Ham Horton's student government
appointees who. had been rejected by an approval committee.
The committee reported unfavorably on Wood Smethurst,
Raleigh sophomore, who was
tapped by Horton for the post of
t . j 1 . J 1 1 A - - ' '
.national Diuaem Assui;iabiuii
chairman, and Dick Jaffe, UP
legislator, who received executive
appointment to the Budget Coiri-
mittee.
The Smethurst rejection began
the pitched battle. UP Floor
Leader Ed Stevens described it
as "resembling the Lattimore in
vestigation", NS A Regional Chair
man Barry Farber claimed Smet
hurst was, "eminently capable
but members of the Approval
Committee said Horton's nominee
lacked sufficient experience.
The Legislature finally moved
to disregard the committee report
on Smethurst and appoint a new
group to consider the NSA posi
tion. ;
Objection to Dick Jaffe for ser
vice on the Budget Committee
was registered on ground that
Jaffe also held a seat on the
Finance Committee and hence
would have two votes on questions
of finance. The committee report
was overthrown making Jaffe a
member of the Budget Committee.
The proposal to charge' students
admission to performances of the
Student , Entertainment Com
mittee' -evaporated i when Jim
Finch, introducer of the motion,
took, the floor and asked that Jus
own motion be defeated because
student opinion- was; obviously
against such a measure.
In other action the Legislature
approved -a? 'loan of $150 to the
Debate Council to complete the
fiscal year. -
The 'new . legislators took the
oath of . office; Dot Smith (UP)
replaced Sue Carter and Blake
Ingram replaced Bob Gorham.
Chairman Jim McLepd announced
a special session of the legisla
ture next Thursday night to com
plete consideration of the execu
tive appointments.
