agement."
Mr.. Clifford paid tribute to the
genius of the American people and
especially the genius of American in
dustry given free reign in free
country. "In our America" he said,
''the dignity and worth of the indi-
vidual is Of prime Importance. We
Americans strive for not only free
dom from want and high standard
of living, but for equal opportunity
for all; for opportunity for job;
opportunity for each one of us to de-
velop and enjoy to the utmost our in
nate abilities-in short, opportunity
to make the most of ourselves"
He cited the Bell System practice
of filling management positions from
the ranks as being typical of Ameri-
can industry. Worker and manage
ment are largely the same people in
America-only at different stages of
their careers. If ability is there, the
way has been open for man to rise
from whatever point he starts"
A note of high optimism was
sounded by Mr.. Clifford and he warned
against our adoption of "defeatist"
attitude toward postwar economy.
"To expect widespread unemployment
and the end of private enterprise is,
in my view, not being realistic. De-
featism has no place in America. l
look forward to good times, to good
wages--to a period that will create
capital and well-being. That is the
usual history of our people. In that
creative progress, industrial manage
ment is one of the important forces.
Let US have faith in Sthe democratic
way-the way Of America"

with declaration that any tax

REMARK CAPTURES
MEET FOR DEVILS

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. Is. - If
you don't believe an idle remark
can cost battle just ask Coach
Chuck Quinlan at Carolina.
1t happened in the last and de-
Gliding match Of the Carolina-Duke
mat meet the other night, but the
story just leaked out from the
bench here today.
In fact, there was only 20 Sc
conds to 60, and Loring Hooper
was just about even with Bill
Miner, Dukes All-American grid
ace.
Then came strident cry from
the contestants bench on one side:
go after him; you're behind on
points,"
Hooper made a desperate dive
for a deadlock from a standing po-
sition, and Miner caught him off
balance and scored a takedown for
two points.
The result gave Miner the match
4 to 3. For Hooper was leading at
the time to 2. And the cry came
from the Duke and not the Carolina
bench!-
1t also gave Duke the meet, 16
to "A, and a tie for the Big Five
title, and that's why Dummy says,
Zip your lip, and don't believe
