Annual Banquet By Alumnae Group

Nine seniors of Our Lady of
Victories High school were hon
ored Monday night when they
were guests of the o. L. V. Alum
nae Association 1t the 10th annual
banquet at the Longfellow House.
In addition to the nine seniors,
approximately 80 members of the
association and guests were seated
at the ~attractively decorated ban
quet table.
Miss Tess NJ. Johnson. member
of last years graduating class at
o. l.. ", capably handled the
duties of POSTMASTER and intro
duced a number of guests who
gave brief talks.
Included among these was Miss
Theress johnson, governor of the
Mississippi Alumnae. who told Of
the work done not only by Ike o.
l.. V. alumnae group, but the
general functions of Catholic
Alumnae groups.
Mrs. Louise. Blanchard, presi-
dent of the o. L.. v. Association,
also made a brief talk and later
officiated at the induction cere-
nbnies when the nine seniors
were accepted into the local alum
nae group.
Other brief talks were madefby
Mayor John r. Watts, Vefne
Barnes, secretary Of the Chamber
of Commerce; A. F. Megehee,
superintendent of county schools;
the Revs. Carey and Curley Of
the o. L. V. church and Easton
King.
Principal Speaker
Principal speaker of the eve
ming was the Rev. Peter Quinn.
we'll known here where he was
formerly assistant to Father
Carey.
Father Quinn was recently dis
charged as a division Chaplain
in the U. S. Army with the rank
of lieutenant-celonel. He saw
much service in Europe during
the recent conflict. He is now di-
rector of the propagation of the
faith for Diocese of Natchez.
Father Quinn drew on his bat
tlefield experiences to Illustrate
the necessity of mans awake
ness and nearness to God. II is
the lack of this awareness and
a drifting away from the church
that makes possible the rise OF
dictatcrs like Hitler, he said.
Father Quinn also urged sup
port and aid for Father Carey
in his plans for a new DIV.
school, funds for which are al
ready available. The paroehial
schools are an asset TO a commu-
nity in the training they give
children and in the tightening OF
the public education burden, he
said.
Seniors honored at the banquet
were Marie Westphal. Joyce
Krebs, Beverly Krebs, Mary 10
Bolen, Al Irving. Dorothy Tan
ner, Genevieve Greene. Barnard
Richards and Dorothy Miller.

Brief Review OF State National And World During The Past Week
WIDESPREAD FIGHTING
IN CHINA is REPORTED

Marking Widespread fighting
In the North China provinces of
Shantung, Hopeh and Jehol was
reported by Chinese Government
and Communist sources, which
said local attacks were gradually
assuming the nature of a full
Aedged general conflict, despite
a new truce compact in central
Shantung.
Each side accused the other of
aggression and feverishly argued
that its rival was responsible for
starting a civil war.
The opposing accounts placed
the battles in these areas:
l. Along 200-mile stretch OF
important railway in Jehol;
2. In a triangular area south OF
Peiping and west of Tientsin; and
3. On three sides of Tsinan
capital of Shantung province.
True extent of the warfare was
obscured by the familiar welter
of unconfirmed charges, but Pie
ping truce headquarters and field
teams with American members
were working urgently to halt or
minimize the clashes.

range plans for a well-fed world
Called by the United Nations

years beyond.
American experts plan to pro-
pose improvement of internation-

adding Australia, Argentina and
France to the combined food
board. The United States, Brit
ain and Canada are the only
members now.
Representatives of nearly a

food will attend the eight-day
conference. The Soviet Embassy
said Russia would send no dele
gates, and that it would not even
have observers present so far as
is known now.
Agreement Sought
The meetings objective is to
bring major food producing ma
tions into agreement on the grow
ing and distribution of food on a
permanent basis, starting from
the time this years crops begin
to alleviate the hunger in many
lands.
Delegates listened Monday to
messages from President Truman
and former President Herbert
Hoover, who has just completed
a world survey of famine condi-
ton.
Committees will spend the bulk
Of the week in secret sessions,
working on plans for permanent
solution of the worlds food prob
lens. These will be laid before

Washington, D. G. - Renewed
nope that congress may at last
do something to curb unscrupul-
Gus labor activities, because of
the blatant disregard for the
! country's welfare shown by John
L. Lewis and James Petrillo,
seems to be based entirely on
Wishful thinking. Each time
there is a crisis in a major strike,
or when some labor leader angers
the whole American people, the
public looks to Washington for a
legal vaccine against recurrence,
out it is fairly apparent by this
time that the senate will never
permit passage of legislation op-
posed by labor leaders.
The house of representatives,
by passing the Case bill, showed
that it had at last decided to heed
the cry of the public for degree
of control over labor. But even
though some senators have made
strong demands for labor reform,
the pro-labOr senate committee
on education and labor seems to
be able to pigeon-hole any and
all proposals which are frowned
upon by union leaders.
Those who feel that labor leg
islation is essential to avoid dis
aster in this country - and the
mail received by congressman in
dicates that there are plenty of
people who feel that way-also
are disappointed with the appar-
Rnt inaction of the administration
regarding labor problems. They
feel that the government could
have done a lot more toward end
ing the coal strike, that President
Truman should have shown more
personal interest in it before an
emergency was reached, and that
the strike problem will become
worse rather than better unless
there is a major revision in pres
ent government policy.
Closely linked with future
labor problems is the fate of the
OPA. If price ceilings are elm
mated or relaxed, and higher
prices absorb the increased wages
which labor unions have won,
there is every reason to expect
the strike to start anew. Yet
if prices are not relaxed some
what, there is apt to be strike
on the part of producers who
will refuse to continue to man.
ufacture products on which they
cannot make a profit Thus a
vicious circle has been created
which is apt to heighten the bad
feeling which now exists between
abor and management.
Testifying on the continuation
If OPA before the senate bank
ing and currency committee, Sec
retary of Agriculture Anderson
was extremely pessimistic over
clearing up the growing black

Bowles Holds
Cotton Price

Washington, Mar. 10 AP - A
move by Economic Stabilizer Ches-
ter Bowles 10 check rising cotton
clothing prices may bring to the
explosive point long gsmouldering
friction between Bowles and Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Anderson.
Regardless OF whether it does.
Anderson appears to be on a hot
spot as the result OF Bowles
order instructing OPA to require
larger down payments for cotton to
be delivered later.
The order is designed to curb
cotton speculation, which Bowles
contends has driven up prices for
raw cotton and for cotton clothing
OPA is comforting on details OF the
measure today with cotton ex-
change officials. who declined to
hike margin requirements voluntar-
lily.
Anderson's dilemma arises out
OF these circumstances:
Cotton state Congress members
are opposed to the Bowles order
and Chairman Elmer Thomas ID

committee has introduced legisla.

In addition, committee OF
southern senators told Anderson

terms OF the Price Control Act no
