After announcement of the new government, employees of Athens banks went out on strike.

Mr. Truman's plan to appear befor a joint session of congress was announced today by congressional leaders. They conferred with him about the message this morning.
Speaker Sam Rayburn told reporters, "I think he will recommend some kind of training program, but I do not know what form it will take." Mr. Truman had indicated that he was working on some ideas of his own which might differ from war department proposals.
Senate democratic leader Alben W. Barkley, said the president had not yet finished the message.
New Haven, Conn. (UP)—Recon-
version Director John W. Snyder

Lewis Calls Off Coal Strike
Washington, (UP)—John L. Lewis today called off the soft coal strike, which had cut fuel supplies to the nation's steel mills. Lewis said the miners would return to work Monday.
The coal strike with 208,000 miners out and at least 30,000 steel workers laid off, had accounted for more than half the nation's 365,000 strike idle workers.
In a letter to all officers and members of local unions in the districts affected by the soft coal walkouts, Lewis said.
All negotiations incident to the controversy affecting clerical, technical and supervisory employees of the industry have been discontinued. Future efforts to abate this controversy will be resumed at a later and more appropriate date.
"Any attempt by individual coal companies to assess and collect fines, discharge employees, impose hardships or demotion, or in any other manner harrass our members for participation in the present stapage should be promptly reported by the local union affected to the district officers.
"District officers will then promptly file 30-day notices of strike votes with the National Labor Relations board, under the provisions of the infamous Smith-Connell slave law."
Hope for Peace Rests on Individuals
Hope for a lasting peace rests upon individuals, Chancellor Deane W. Malott told students, faculty members, and townpeople in Fraser theater last night, in the opening lecture of an "America at Peace" series.
"It is our duty as individuals," he said, "to keep informed on international affairs and to know the provisions of the United Nations charter.
"The United Nations charter is far from perfect," Chancellor Malott continued, "but it is the best document of its type ever conceived, and its success is imperative.
The chancellor pointed out that complete suppression will lead to more disastrous wars than the one just ended, but that we must occupy conquered nations for years to come if we want a firm peace.
"What we want," he said, "is a strong and firm peace, not suppression or conquered countries."
"If the charter is to be more than a faint glimmer of hope in establishing world peace," Chancellor Malott said, "we must show less interest in the individual problems and more interest in international affairs."
The Press club will meet to elect officers at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in room 102 Journalism building, Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, announced today.
Everyone interested in journalism may attend the meeting, he added.

In Jovial Mood General Greets Campus Friends
Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead was in a jovial mood today, back on his alma mater's campus.

Lt. Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead, the University's highest ranking military alumnus, who commanded the Fifth air force in
Coming from Kansas City this morning just in time to speak for the convocation, the general spent most of the time greeting old friends and sons and daughters of his former classmates.
Someone brought up the idea of the memorial campus drive.
"A war memorial for the campus is a fine idea but I haven't had any time to think of memorials," Gen. Whitehead declared. "I have 65,000 men in Japan who are wanting to come home and that is my first concern."
Complimenting the University band and telling the cheerleaders "you did a fine job," Gen. Whitehead sang the alma mater and gave the Rock Chalk yell with the students.

By BILLIE HAMILTON
If your clothes don't come back from the laundry, just pull a sheet off the bed and wrap it around you. Dr. Evelyn Chandrawati Misra, Indian doctor and University student, will show you how.
Poised, alert, intelligently observant, she walks around the campus in her graceful, wrap-around, ankle-length dress. Although she wears her native Indian dress, the 28-year-old woman is far ahead of the times in height, wear, color, two

India in two years and, if enough money can be raised, build a new 120-bed hospital in Ambala City. Male Doctors Won't Do
"General practitioners are needed most in India and I won't specialize unless I come to America again," she said. "There are two other Indian women doctors at our hospital. We are very necessary because Indian women won't be treated by a male doctor."
This Indian woman, who now lives at Westminster hall, came to the United States on the Gripsholm landing in New York on Aug. 2. She was brought to America and to the University by Dr. Ivanoel Gibbins, resident doctor of Bethany hospital, Kansas City. Dr. Gibbins was superintendent of the Philadelphia hospital in Ambala City, Punjab, where Dr. Mina restrained four years

"We owe our victory to the 1941 edition of American youth, who bought better and adapted himself better than the American soldier in the last war." Gen. Whitehead said. He appeared on behalf of the National War Fund drive.
"The caliber of the young men who did the fighting was the real reason we won the war, and to these men we owe a debt which no one of us can ever fully understand, a debt that can never be repaid," he said.
Returning to school after three or four years in the service won't be easy, Gen. Whitehead said.
"All they want is to be left alone —I know, because I did it in 1920," he declared.
Student aides to Gen. Whitchead included Robert A. Franklin, army ROTC, John McGuckin, navy ROTC, and Denzel Gibbens, air corps reserve lieutenant, formerly with the Fifth air force.
