GoYernment's Message.
The Greek government also issued
message to the people. saying
"A deadly blow has been dealt
to the nation by the death Of
beloved King George.
When mechanized barbarians in
yaded the country. King George in
the name OF eternal Greece gave
twice the proud answer OF Their
mopylae and became the leader
and symbol of our national struggle
and of general resistance Of the
nation. Thus his reign took place
in Greek history beside that Of
Marathon glory. When he came
back he became the pious guardian
of our free institutions
The nation was in official mourning
for King George, who, although he
had borne the title for Is years, had
spent only seven years in Athens,
having been twice exiled. Flags were
at half staff, funeral dirges were
broadcast over the Athens radio
entertainment centers were closed
and crowds assembled outside the
royal palace.
Paul requested that no funeral
wreaths be placed on the bier OF
his brother. Instead he asked that
money which normally would be
spent for flowers be donated to a
fund to aid war widows and orphans
Paul's 6-year -old son, Prince Con-
stantin, now becomes Crown Prince
of Greece. The new Queen is
Princess Frederika Luise, daughter

Co. tparent company is clinging to
|a fiction that each Of the Bell Sys-
tenn companies is an entity in itself
free to make its own decisions. This
is the company's publicly-announced
position and while maintaining it,
the Bell System is operating as a
unit and is denying free and full
collective bargaining authority to
its local companies"
Mr.. Beirne said his union is ready
to bargain either locally or nation
ally, and charged the A. T. g. T.
with refusing to bargain on either
level. He also accused the Bell
System of using false figures in de-
scribing, in newspaper advertise
ments, the cost OF the union wage
demands. He said the companies
ads implied that the cost Of the wage
increase would be borne equally by
large and small subscribers.
Cancellation Effort Pushed.
The Labor Department, mean
while, went ahead with its concil-
iatory efforts to settle the cosst-to-
coast dispute involving 287, 600 MEM
bers of SO unions aff1liated with the
National Federation of Telephone
Workers.
Talks between one NFTW affiliate,
the American Union of Telephone
Workers, and the long-distance de-
partment of the American Tele-
phone 81 Telegraph Co., were re-
sumed today at the Labor Depart
ment. The union represents about
20 900 workers.
Federal officials were hopeful of
getting a settlement between the
A. r. & r. and the long g-distance
operators which would serve as a
pattern for heading of strike at
other Bell System companies.
Refuse to Come Here.
However, the Southwestern Bell
Telephone Co. rejected a proposal
by Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach to transfer its negotiations to
Washington. The company is ne
gotiating in ST. Louis with the
Southwestern Telephone Workers
Union, NFTW's largest affiliate, rep
resenting $1,000 employees.
The Southwestern union agreed
to move the talks here, but the COM
pany halked.
Mr.. Schwellenbach conferred pri-
vately yesterday with c. F. Craig,
A. T. & T. vice president In charge
of personnel, who took major part
in settling a similar dispute year
ago. Both sides were silent after
the talk.
Democratic members of the Labor
Committee took their first look at
Mr.. Hartley's Injunction bill yester-
day and they didn't like it.
With the help of eight Republi-
cans, seven Democrats put over a
motion by Representative Madden,
Democrat, of Indiana, to postpone
a vote until today.

believe she identified me with one
reporter on the stage who admitted
he spent $75 a week on whisky. He
said he was paid at the rate of $40
a lie.
To be hit In America, the play
would of course have to be trans
lated into English. Aside from this
it should be presented to our audi
ences exactly as 1t is presented here.
Otherwise, the full savor of the
thing would be lost.
r. Casting Difficulties.
There would be difficulties to be
sure. Chief among them would be
that Of casting. We might have a
hard time finding leading lady
(Simonov's wife is the leading lady
here) who could faint dead away
and revive two seconds later to
carry on a conversation exactly
where she left on.
The hardest casting job would be
finding somebody who could do JUS
tice to the part of the publisher.
But with enough ingenuity. we
should be able to develop an actor
who could smoke a cigar, twirl a
cane and drink whisky at the same
time.
It is hard to say what feature
of the play American audiences
would like best. Certainly the set
tings would appeal strongly to them.
There is the press club scene for
example, room which from time
to time is filled, for no apparent
reason, with music which appears
to float from an enormous juke box
in the corner. At least think it
was a juke box, although the top
of it was filled with liquor bottles
instead of records. The room had
purple walls and brown overstuffed
chairs.
Scene i'm Dreamhouse.
Housekeepers would be particu-
larly impressed by the scene in a
dreamhouse, which Harry Smith
and his bride buy in the days of
their prosperity. It seems to be a
cross between a modernistic~ show
window and an Indian tepee with
bamboo walls. The doors are made
of beads.
I am inclined to think, however,
the all-around favorite would be the
scene Of the publishers Office. There
are many signed photographs on the
wall of this room-I was unfortu-
nately unable to recognize most Of
the Gallery from where was sit
ting. Two I did recognize were
Mussolini and Winston Churchhill.
There was a gap in one Of the
rows of pictures, and it was casually
revealed in conversation between
the publisher and his chief assistant
that this was where Hitler belonged.
The publisher said he was keeping
the Fuehrer,s photograph in his
safe; that this was not good time
to put it back on the wall
incidentally, this publishers as
sistant probably would be the plays
most popular character among
American audiences. He Is the type
with which they are already famil-
iar-perfect movie version of .
Prussian colonel or q Mani SIS leader.
The only thing he lacks Is 4
nfonoc1e.
Worth Price Of Admission.
Just learning about the manner
isms OF the inhabitants of the
United States would be worth the
price Of admission to any American.

utes, we drink another glass fun Of

ginia; and then all enjoyed a
fine weekend, taking in Atlanta
and seeing the folks they knew!
All returned to Wilmington Sat-
urday night, and Virginia left
Sunday to return to W. c.
It's beginning to look as if this
one thing never fails-where the
hometown folks are, the home
town folks will meet! More proof
is offered by the travels of Vir-
ginia as she headed to Atlanta.
While changing buses in Char
lotte, she recognized a familia
face-and she and Bettq Yopp
met! Betty was on her WY to
Wilmington to spend the Thanks
Spartanburg, and she was also
changing u. ;.
Down South Carolina way,
Citadels restriction kept some of
the hometown people on the
campus over the holidays. Jimmy
Johnny Synmes were unable to
make it home, but they plan to
hustle home on December 20 for
Christmas holidays.
It certainly was great to walk
down a Wilmington street and
see Maude Noe, home from &c
TC; R h el Cameron, home
from Converse; Sara Kay Jor-
dan (of whom we're most proud
for her recent election as presi-
dent of the Freshman Class at
Mary Washington); Betty Wal
ter home from Wake Forest;
Charlie Harrington, Neal Par
trick, and Dick Hanson, home
from Carolina-or many, many,
more of all the gang!
Some of the guys and gals
brought home roommates or
close friends from college. Ann
Farmer had as her guest over
the holidays, Joan Mueller, from
way up in New Jersey. Joan
holds claims of being much sat-
isfied wit h Wilmington after
hearing so much about it from
roommate!
Jean Cross had as her guest
Lois Gre ham from Jackson
vile, Florida, who is her room
mate at High Point college. Seen
much with Jean and Lois were
Carolyn Lilley and Kathryn
Hunter. The four are suitemates
a. High Point.
Dick anson entertained a
friend from Boston at Carolina
over the holidays, and Frank
Bradley had as his guest over
the holidays friend of his at
Peabody Conservatory of Music
from Hawaii.
We missed not seeing Frances
Penton and Douglas McKoy
home from Hollins; Edna Mat
thes home from Goucher; Prin-
cess Stellings, who couldn't
make it home from Stephens in
Columbia, Missouri; Flora and
June from Queens; and DeLean
Longley from Randolph Macon.
But we can imagine how much
the Christmas holi d avs will
mean to all those who couldn't
spend the last week end home
and who will enjoy their first
vacations at Christmas.
Last night eli m a xed many
weeks of planning on the part
of both W. c. freshman commit
tees and Carolina freshman
groups, and tn e freshman of
both schools got together for a
big huge party!
A gathering on the quadrangle
started the ball rolling late yes
terday afternoon. The the
crowd journeyed across the
campus to Peabody P ark and
gathered near the lake for a
bonfire. Cheerleaders from W.
c. and Carolina led songs and
yells.
AS everybody couldn't be pro-
vided for at the gym because of
the large roll of both classes,
only those who had drawn dance
tickets were able to attend.
Everything turned out fine, and
all had a gay time!
Well, until next time. I'll be
seeing you around!
