Trailer Camp Open June15
A new trailer camp west of Lawrence on highway 40 is expected to be opened around June 15 for the families living in the trailer camp at 21st and Louisiana streets.
Dr. E. L. Novotny, superintendent of schools, said that the present site will be vacated as soon as facilities are available in the new camp. A. C. Goodrum, operator of an auto repair garage, has arranged to open a trailer camp south of El Navajo, one-half mile west on highway 40. Mr. Goodrum has his new camp will be completely modern with initial space for about 20 trailers. He said rentals for the G.I. students would be a "little less" than they pay at the present time.
The original decision by the Lawrence board of education was to vacate the new school property by July 1. At its last meeting the board agreed to let the 13 families stay at the 21st and Louisiana site for another year if they could not find other accommodations. Dr. Novotny said that this agreement is now canceled and the board will go back to its original plan.
According to Ben Shanklin, all selections presented in the Interfraternity Sing contest were recorded. These recordings were excellent and are available to anyone desiring them. For more detailed information Ben suggests that you contact him at 1515 W. Campus Rd. or call 2720R.
All families now living in trailers at the camp plan to move to the new site Irvin Youngberg, dicetor of dormitories, said.

Lewis Group Meets Today On Coal Issues
Washington, May 20—(UP)—John L. Lewis called his 200-man wage policy committee to a meeting today that may decide whether the nation is going to have another sudden coal strike.
The committee may formally accuse the soft coal operators of violating their contract with the United Mine Worker—a charge which in the past has often been the walkout signal for Mr. Lewis' 400,000 miners.
Mr. Lewis announced the meeting of the policy committee just before he stalked out of a bargaining session with the operators Wednesday. He broke off negotiations abruptly when the mine owners voted, over his objections, to give the Southern Coal Producers association a place at the conference table.
Two months ago when Mr. Lewis accused the operators of having "dishonored" their contract, the miners walked out and stayed out 29 days in a dispute over pensions.
The southern association, whose members produce about one-fourth of the nation's soft coal, has filed charges against Mr. Lewis with the National Labor Relations board. It asked the board to obtain a court order forcing the United Mine Workers' boss to resume bargaining.
Government sources said the wage policy committee's action today might determine how rapidly Robert N. Denham, general counsel of the labor board, would act on the charges against Mr. Lewis.
If a new strike appears imminent, the government may ask for another Taft-Hartley injunction to keep the miners on their job for at least 80 days. The union still is under a federal court order for bidding another walkout over the pension dispute. But justice department spokesmen said this injunction does not bar a strike over another issue.
