On Coming Attack

WASHINGTON, May &c.
(AP) - President Roosevelt
dropped a hint today that the
Allied offensive against Eu-
rope is not far off, saying the
actions coming off this sum-
mer ought to be called the lib

vasion of Europe.
In news conference, Mr.. Roose-
welt also said he hoped to have
another conference with Prime
Minister Churchill but was indefi-
mite as to the time.
Asked if he expected to see the
British leader this summer, he said
in the summer, the fall or the late
spring.

asked.
He didn't like to travel, particu-
larly on the Atlantic, in the winter,
Mr.. Roosevelt replied.
1t was not developed whether Mr..
Roosevelt, by saying late spring,
meant this year or next year
which would be after the Inaugural
ton of the president elected next
fall.
Rough Draft Ready
In a discussion of postwar plan

a postwar plan for overall secur-
ity have been reduced to a rough
draft and, in, response to ques-
ton, that he was finding Russia a

The whole discussion began with
a reference to recent editorial
in the Washington Post.

that it was late in the summer
of 1918 before this country began

UNC HEAD ASKED
FOR FULL Time

RALEIGH, May 26. -(P)- The
board of trustees of the Greater
University of North Carolina
meeting here today, heard a re-
port from its visiting committee
recommending that DR.. Frank P.
Graham, president, devote his full
time to the university.
Graham is a member of the War
Labor Board and recently had been
two thirds of his time to
work of that board. The remain.
der of his time has been devoted
to university administrative du-
ties.
In making the recommendation,
the visiting committee, headed by
Victor Bryant, of Durham, saio
that the administration of the uni
versity ''is confused as to authori
ty and that the complicated ad-
ministrative system of the consoli'
dated university makes it necessa
ry that the president give his full
time to his duties here"
The report further said that op
inion among faculty members al
Carolina was unanimous in favor
of full-time president. The time
for policy-making at the univer'
sity, with reference to the postwar
era, has arrived" it said.
1.-The faculty believes that the
presidents absence part of the
time has retarded unduly and in
evitably the administration of at
fairs and that 'the work of the
faculty lacks cohesion and direc
tion," the report went on.
| DR.. Graham told the board tina
the chairman of the War Labor
Board had asked him to keep OF
my present schedule of one-thirt
of my time in North Carolina ant
two-thirds in Washington, and thel
to try for a while schedule call
ing for two weeks with the univer
sity and two weeks with the WLB.
