Phone Strike Again Delayed
Washington, Feb. 23—(U.P.)President Truman won a 60-day "breather" today in government efforts to head off a nationwide telephone strike.
The Communications Workers of America (C.I.O.) and key units of the Bell Telephone system accepted the president's request for a 60-day extension of the strike deadline. The walkout had been scheduled for Friday morning.
Federal mediation director Cyrus S. Ching was expected to bring pressure on Western Electric company—key firm in the controversy, to participate in joint negotiations here.
Negotiations broke down when the Bell subsidiary insisted the sessions be resumed in New York. Mr. Ching has said the company gave no "satisfactory" reason for refusing to bargain here.
The Western Electric dispute is only one phase of the complex wage controversy. But the firm's 18,000 union members hold a strategic position. Scattered among exchanges throughout the nation, among 100,000 workers who were scheduled to walk out Friday. Other union members were pledged to respect picket lines.
If federal mediators can persuade Western Electric and the union to settle their differences, they feel the agreement may set a pattern for bargaining sessions between other Bell subsidiaries and union locals.
Wednesday's strike postponement was the second in the threatened telephone tie-up. The walkout originally was set for Feb. 8, but Mr. Ching had obtained a truce that would have expired at 6 a.m., local time, Friday.
'Think Success,' Says AAUW Prexy
To achieve success one must think success and act successful. Mrs Virginia C. Wilder, president of the American Association of University Women said Tuesday.
Mrs. Wilder addressed a meeting of Theta Epsilon. Baptist sorority, on the topic "Successful You." A person should have an open mind and be willing to compare himself honestly with others and correct the faults that might prevent success, she said.
Two officers were elected in a short business meeting preceding the talk. They are: Dorothy Watson, vice-president, fine arts sophomore, and Mary Lee Haury, contact chairman, fine arts freshman.

Straight 'A' Students Say Hard Work Is An Essential
Straight "A" students don't bribe their teachers with post-hypnotic suggestions, or gifts, but get their superior grades by hard work and clear thinking, a Daily Kansan spot check reveals.
Out of six students interviewed
who earned straight "As" the past
semester, they all agree that much
study is essential for better grades.
"To make 'A's," remarked David G. Johnson, education senior, "the student must know what the teacher expects from the student and what he wants most important. I always make a brief outline of important material while I'm reading so that I won't have to continually re-read the text."
L. Wayne Davis, business junior, advises students that "budgeting of time and concentration are good pre-requisites for making excellent grades. Study hard, work hard, and relax forward. Good class and study notes, and regular attendance in class are essential items."
Rita Carl, education sophomore,
commented: "There is no prescription for getting 'A's', just continual regular study, plus some good luck."
Delton S. Yoho, business senior, said: "The ability to make good grades is due primarily to the utilizing of knowledge acquired in previous related courses. I always remember that I'm not taking a course to make a good grade but to get something out of the course, because in all probability there'll be a need for the knowledge in the future."
Lloyd Wilson, education senior,
exclaimed: "I was amazed! How-
ever, it's a good rule to read the
material three or four times for better
understanding."
Robert B. Berkley, business senior, replied: "I underline important points while studying and then concentrate on the important items before a quiz. When a teacher is speaking I try to get the over-all picture of what he is talking about instead of concentrating on one particular problem."
