Government Proposal May End Coal Strike
Washington. (UP)—The government today handed the striking United Mine Workers and soft coal operators a proposal which, if accepted, would-bring an early end to the 37-day-old mine strike.
Terms of the proposition were not disclosed.
The operators negotiating committee immediately began considering it. The UMW planned to debate it at a session of the union's 250-man policy committee this afternoon.
The government's other mediator in the strike, Edward F. McGrudy, told reporters that the strike he had hoped hopes that the strike "would be settled shortly."
The Solid Fuels administration meanwhile prohibited delivery of soft coal to any householder who has more than a five-day supply.
It has limited deliveries to those public utilities, railroads, hospitals, food plants and similar users which have less than a 10-day supply. Deliveries to ships were restricted to ships and tugboats engaged in moving grain or coal.
Spain Denies Charge Of Helping Nazis
Madrid. (UP) - Spain denied today that she interfered with the repatriation of dangerous Nazis or the seizure of German property within Germany.
A 1200-word statement was issued by the Spanish government in an effort to refute charges made during debates at the United Nations security council that Spain failed to cooperate with the Allies.
Washington. (UP) President Truman will be 62 years old tomorrow and the best present anybody could give him would be a settlement of the coal strike.
Last year he received the German surrender.
London. (UP)—The house of commons today scheduled a debate tonight on the proposed withdrawal of British troops from Egypt. The debate was demanded by opposition leader Winston Churchill.
Washington, (UP)—Silk stockings will start coming back to some stores next week, ladies, but they're going to be "terribly expensive"—$3 to $5 a pair, according to the president of the National Hosiery association.
Ministers Reach First Big Agreement
Paris, (UP)—The Big Four foreign ministers today achieved their first major agreement, deciding to return Transylvania to Romania, thus abrogating the Nazi award of the territory to Hungary.
The ministers remained deadlocked on the question of navigation of the Danube river on which the United States and Britain favor internationalization while Russia proposes control by the Danube powers.
Benhem, Ky, (UP)—One man was killed and six men were injured in a flareup of violence today at the non-U.M.W. coal mine of the International Harvester Coal Co., here after pickets surrounded the mine, sheriff J. S. Cawood, of Harlan county, reported.
New York. (UF) — Renewed Iranian charges of Soviet "interferences" in Azerbaijan threatened another United Nations controversy over Iran today even though available evidence indicated Red army troops already have left that country.
Second Jay-Jane Tea Tomorrow
The second Jay-Jane rush tea will be held tomorrow from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Union, Betty Jo O'Neal, president announced.
The organized houses invited include Alpha Omicron Pi, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, Watkins hall, and Miller hall.
Independents-at-large and Delta Delta Delta will be entertained at a tea from 4 to 5 p.m. Monday in the Kansas room.
Library Needs Sunday Help
"The library will be open on Sundays only as soon as students express a willingness to work." C. M. Baker, director of Watson library, said today.
Trained personnel is necessary for efficient handling of the books, and the turnover of personnel prevents the accumulation of a skilled staff, he explained. Many of the 77 students now employed to take care of the 12 full-time jobs in the main library and jobs in the departmental libraries work only six hours a week.
Plans for next year cannot be made until more is known about the employment situation, Mr. Baker said.
Mr. Baker foreseees no enlargement of present library facilities luring the next year, and has announced no different schedule of tours to take care of next year's longer class day beginning at 8 a.m.
Mr. Baker explained the inadmissibility of opening just a part of the library for study on Sundays, since the only way to open a few rooms would be to erect wooden barricades, he said.
Aero Department Buys Wasp Engine
New equipment in the aeronautical engineering department includes a cut-away engine and an automatic pilot, Prof. William Simpson has announced.
An R-2800-C Double Wasp cutaway engine has been purchased through the Reconstruction Finance corporation. The engine is used to power such planes as the "Hell Cat," "Thunderbolt," and the "Black Widow."
An automatic pilot donated to the department by the Sperry Gyroscope company of Brooklyn, NY. arrived Tuesday. The gyropilot will not be put into operation for several months until additional equipment necessary for its operation can be purchased and a mechanic is available to assemble it.
The cut-away shows every working part of the engine and will be open to student display as soon as a stand, electric motor, and a drive mechanism are obtained.
The dance platform and picnic ovens under construction west of Potter lake will be finished before Commencement, Prof. Ogden S. Jones, chairman of the Union subcommittee in charge, announced this Monday.
Picnic Grounds Ready By Commencement
Work on the benches, tables, ovens and back wall of the platform, which is partially completed, will be started in a week, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Prof. George M. Baal, architecture department, has submitted designs for this equipment.
