Navy Requires Summer Term For Reserves
NUMBER 119
All V-program men, with the exception of seniors, will be required by the Navy Department to enroll in the five-weeks' term which the University has been requested by the Navy Department to offer for all V-1 and V-7 men.
The engineers classified as V-1 and V-7, on July 1, will presumably become part of the Navy College Training Program at the University and continue their education here.
The five-weeks' term is to be given from May 24 to June 26. Regular credit will be given for the five weeks.
Men who are not engineers in the V-program will probably be transferred to other navy schools when the Navy College program begins, July 1.
Students who are not members of the Naval Reserve may enroll in the five-weeks' courses. Courses to be given in the five-weeks' term will be announced in a few days.
Lewis Must Act Now, Ickes Says
Washington, (INS)—Coal czar Harold L. Ickes said today that the coal mine crisis must be subjected to the War Labor Board's jurisdiction and denied that any "bargain, promise or pledge," had been made with John L. Lewis to obtain the 15 day truce for resumation of coal productions.
Earlier Ickes had ordered all coal mines to operate on a 6 day week immediately to meet needed coal requirements. The order applied to all mines seized by the government. Reporters asked Ickes if the deadlock was about the same as before with the exception that the miners have gone back to work.
"I think that is an accurate statement," Ickes replied.
