Peacemaker Sees
cettiement At M
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Definite action before the end of the week in the 70-day General
fotors strike was predicted today by James D_ewey, newly-appointed
‘l“‘t“'“‘! tederal mediator between the CIIO L[mted Auto Workers and
I,'(. corporation. A veteran at settling Detroit labor disputes, Dewey,
{ormer member of thé Laborg Department’_s conciliation service, told
anorters “I am hoping fgr 'success and will stay here (in Detroit)
1:3[:(&4; this matter is ironcd ou_t.”
Dewey said he- had been given
free hand by Secretary of Labor
chwellenbach in the wage dis
ute which ‘has made idle more
han 200,000 workers.
Both Accept Mediation
Hope ran high for an early set
lement as both union and Gen
ral Motors agreed to accept med
ation. The othér two of the big
hree in the auto industry—Ford
nd Chrysler—previously came to
erms with the UAW on wage de
ands, Ford with a boost of 18
ents an hour and Chrysler with
81, cents.
Meanwhile the giant steel strike‘
hreatened — if prolonged — to
.ke idle an additional 1,000,000
orkers in allied industries with
h a month.
Hopes of a settlement within a
cck of the steel dispute also
ave been voiced—Dby a high of
icial 'of the U, S. Labor Depart
ent who declined to permit use
f his name.
If mediation fails, however, this
{he picture of things to come:
In Michigan, Johin L. Lovett,
encral manager of the Michigan
anufacturers’ Association, pre
icted 500,000 would be idle in
¢ state in a month if the steel
rike is not settled. His figure
as presumed to include workers
the automobiie industry, one ot
teel's biggest customers.
In another week 150,000 St.
ouis workers will be-laid off for
ck of materials, said Oscar A.

LONDON, Jan. 29—(AP)—Top
officials predicted today that the
Security Council shortly would
nominate Norwegian Foreign Min
ister Trygve Lie as a compromise
candidate . for the $20,000-a-yecar
post as secretary-general of the
United Nations Organization.
In the tense dispute between
Russia and Iran, representatives
of the two eountries were expect
ed to meet today to seek a solu
tion of that controversy.
Obstacles to the agreement on
a seecretary-general mostly were
worked out at a five-power meet
ing last night in the hotel room of
Edward R. Stettinius, jr., chief U.
S. delegate.
U. S. Shifte Support
Authoriative information was
that the United States suddenly
gave up its advecacy of Lester
Pearson, Canadian Ambassador to
Washington, and Stettinius for
mally proposed Lie as a compro
mise who might be aceceptable to
the United States, Britain and
Russia,
The 50-year-old Norwegian
lawyer-diplomat was Moscow's

lUNO' but lest to Paul-Henri
Spaak, foreign minister of Bel

members was adopted unanimous~
ly by the Assembly’s Social and
Humanitarian Comraittee after «
table-pounding speech by Rep.
Sol Bloom (D.-N. Y.)
“Help, any kind of help,” Bloom
said, “is needed now, not some
time in the future. There is star
vation facing millions upon mil
lions of people in the world. We
have a duty to them.”
University Cl
Religion Applicati
Dr. Ray Jordan — clergyman,
educator, and professor of
preaching at Emory University—
§poke to an assembly of journal
ism students in the Journalism
and Commerce building today in
connection with Religious Week
at the University.
Introduced by Dean John E.
Drewry, School of Journalism,
Dr. Jordan proceeded to discuss
religious journalism, the need for
more journalistic adherents in
this field, and to elaborate on the
moral requirements of the jour
nalistic profession.
“I have never been betrayed by
a ‘newspaperman or woman when
I said something ‘off the record,’
but I{ am sorry that I can’t say
this about my, own profession,”’
remarked Dr. Jordan.
“You cannot be a journalist
and a mere propagandist at the
same time. 'The newspaperman
or woman must place himself in
the place of the person he or she
writes about. The journalist must
{reat every person as a person.”
Dr. Ray Jordan was educated
at Emory and Duke University
and has been apreacher for thq
past 25 years. He: has served
churches in Winston-Salem and
Charlotte, N. C., and is also wide
ly traveled. He added in his
speech that a journalist's charac
ter could also be read by the
character of his writing, and that
a sense of * good sportsmanship
was a steady foundation for any
competent journalist. In conclus
ion, Dr. Jordan statec.i:._
Great Age to Write
“The “journalist of today is liv
ing in an age of tremendous de
velopment and revolutional
change. It is indeed a great age
in which to write.”
The relationship of religion to
the life of the student, and its
practical application in active
citizenship was the theme of the
talk given by Rabbi Harry Ess
rig at the art department Mon
day afternoon. Rabbi Essrig, of
the B'nai B'rith Hillel Founda
tion, New York City, who was ar
Army chaplain in Europe, is one
of the speakers participating in
“Religion-in-Life - Week!?” on the
University campus. .
Declaring -that “all realms of
endeavor will have to concern
themselves with the issues of to
day,” Rabbi Essrig stated that o
rew era has come with the great
physical changes wrought over
seas by war, and with the awak-

Universify Vels
Ask Service Wives
Get Free Tuition
A proposal has been made that
wives of veterans attending the
University of Georgia under the
GI bill of rights be permitted to
attend the classes without paying
tuition, Ralph R William, chair
man of the student veterans’ com
mittee, announces.
Williams said other state uni
versities, among them Ohio State,
already have made this privilege
available to veterans. There .are
about 1,200 veterans enrolled at
Georgia for the winter quarter
and about one-third of them are
married. °
“Several wives already are en
rolled,”. Williams said., “Many oth
ers have expressed a desire to fur
ther their education but are un
able to do so because of the cost
of tuition, which they are not able
to pay out of the S9O per month
granted married veterans by the
Gl bill of rights.”
He said the proposal was made
in a letter to L. P. Seibert, sec

who has arranged a conference be

PRICE POLICY "IW ON
U, S, AGENCIES
WASKINGTON, Jan., 29 —
(AP) — A government official’
plea fm&: “pealistic. and flexi.
ble” pri policy brought in‘o
the open today a long-smoulder
ing row between OPA and other
federal. agencies.
* The nub of tae dekate.that has
been hauled from behind closed
doors i§ whether prices are be
ing held go firmly ag to hamper
reconversion and contribute to
industral strife.
Civilian Production Adminis
trator John D. Small made the
plea for what he called realism
and flexibility. He said at a news
conference yesterday:
“Tire maintenance of a firm
price lineé means little if goods
are not awvailable for purchase 2t
that level”
Ask Production Hike
Small said he savers unequiv
ocably the cantinuance of price
controls to withstang “severe in.
flationary pressure.” But he ad
ed that such controls should be
used “to bring about the most
rapid increase in production.”
- “Mere has been g growing
feeling throughout ke country,’
Small declared, “that price in=
‘creases. would be about the worst
thing that could happen. To my
mind, lack of production is the
‘worst thing.”
- Small said he had discussed
this matter sevéral times with
OPA Adminlstrator Chester
Bowles, adding that while Bowleg
is “worried about iack of pro
duction” he feels at the same
time that the price line saould
be held.
OPA officials expressed sur
prise ag Small’s statements on
xme }fi{cy. They . asserted ‘the
eSent program has both: real
ism and flexibility, bul they said
OPA’s basic responsipility is 1o
holg prices “pretty cinge to pres
ent levels.”
OPA said the price policy laid
dewn by President Truman pro.
vides for discretionary increases
deemed necessary to encourage
essential production. Such in
creases YMiave been granted, the
agency said, and have accom
plished their purpose.
y . Anderson Disagrees
Small’'s view on prices are
known to be held bv other gov
ernment officials, including Sec
retary of Agriculture Anderson,
Bowles has told Reconversion Di_
rector Snvder and possibly Mr.
Truman that the controversy
must be settled and that Mfe ad
ministration must present a uited
front on price poliry.
One issue on whids government
officials have differed is how
much of a price jincrease the
strike.-bound steel industry
should be allowed.
Smal] deelined to disclose his
ideas on this, but he said it was
his understanding that the in
dustry is entitled ty & price ad
justment “on tue basis of the
facts, regardless of the wage is

| Sine die adjournament of the
15-day holdover session was tafin
at 5:37 p. m,, yesterday, but the
final gavels feii on what one
member termed “a sour note.”
| He referred to failure of House
land Senate conference commit
tees to agree on a House measure
;which would have provided for a
-constitutional State Highway
:Board. :
This was but one of several
“important” measures which fail
ed to receive House and Senate
approval.
{ Included in the others was the
'merit system bill, which would
have placed all state employes on
a merit basis, a home rule bill,
which would have permitted
counties to legislate their own
needs without General Assembly
approval, and the Senate resolu
tion which would have enabled
Governor Ellis Arnall to run for
another term.
The Arnall succession measure
remained the item of paramount
interest throughout the session,
even after the House had failed
by 11 votes to give it a required
- constitutional ‘majorffy ~vote. - The
merit bill passed the Senate but
failed in the House, and the home
rule bill did not come up for vote.
¢ Highway Board
Difficulty over the proposed
constitutional highway board cen
tered around a Senate amendment
to the House approved measure,
As sponsored by House Speaker
Roy V. Harris, and approved by
the House, the bill called for elec
|tion of a highway commissioner
jrepresenting each congressional
district, the selection to be made
by the legislature.
The Senate amended the bill to
provide that the board members
be elected by the qualified voters
of the respective congressional
districts, and all efforts by at least
two House and Senate conference
committees to work out the dif
ferences failed.
| Speaker Harris in a prepared
speech shortly before adjourn
ment declared the agreement
could not be reached because “a
little handful of contractors and
ymachinery people have been and
-are now entrenched in our high
. way system and it is time that the
people of Georgia rise up ang
throw them out and return the
highway board and department to
the people.”
| He asserted that every effort 1o
“reform the highway system “ana
to do away with the rotten con
dition which has existed here for
20 years” had been blocked' by
the Senate.
“I do not know what has caused
state officials and the Senate to
{change their minds over * the
weekend, but they have,” Harris
said.
“The challenge now is to us to
take the fight to the people of
|Georgia to clean out the rotten
mess that now exists in the high
