Georgetown Ruling
On Status Of Conn
Due by Tomorrow

A decision can be expected late
today or tomorrow on whether
Billy Conn, Georgetown Universe
ty football halfback and the
teams top breakaway runner, will
be dropped from the school be-
cause of scholastic deficiencies.
The Rev. Edward Jacklin, S. j.,
dean of Georgetown, said the
schools Committee on Scholastic
Standings would meet late today
or tomorrow to consider the status
of all students who failed to pass
midyear examinations.
Conn failed in his English
examination, but that does not
mean necessarily that he will be
dropped, Father Jacklin said. He
said Conn was on the ragged edge,
having had a conditional on his
previous scholastic record that
had to be made up in summer
school. But I can't say yes or
no about Conn or anyone else
yet" said Father JEklin. "The
committee takes up each case in
dividually and other factors in
addition to the midyear examina-
tions are considered.
Actually all the marks for all
students aren't in yet. AS soon as
they are in I will convene the
committee and we will take them
all up. 1t could be late this after
noon if all marks are in by then,
but it more likely will be tomor-
row. Until the committee meets
and makes its decision we can't
make any official announcement"

declared labor unions and farm or
ganizations should take care Of
laboring people of the soil as they

to lose social freedom in order to
gain material freedom; the deve-

at the same time. While society
does not owe anyone a living, it
must facilitate the earning Of a

He advocated "a foot on the land
and a foot in industry" type Of life
for the low-income group, because

Carpenters Build
House In 3 Hours

Long Beach, l.. l. QLNS).-In a
practical demonstration of the
! Christmas holiday spirit, union
workers put up a Groom custom
built ranch type dream house"
here in 8 hours, to be used in a
Embarrassing drive for the Long
Beach Memorial Hospital.
At 8 Am. Dec. II, there was
only a skeleton cinder block founda-
tion for house. 1t was completed,
inside and out, at PM. A kitchen
range and an electric refrigerator
had been installed. Landscape gar
deners had started laying top-soil
for the lawn and shrubbery.
Seventy-two members of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America, Local
Unions 353 and $50, took part in
the unprecedented construction job.
All labor and most of the materials
were donated.
To include the summer residents
of the seaside city in the fund
drive, an individual owner for the
home will not be determined until
next Labor Day, when the house
will be awarded as door prize at
an affair sponsored by the Hospital
Club.
Local contractors estimated that
under ordinary conditions in aver
age construction a crew could COM
plete a similar building in from 3
to weeks. The value of the COM
pleted house and 100 by 40-foot
lot has been set at $4,000. Work
ers on the project, under Joseph
Schmitt, carpenters delegate for
Long Beach, volunteered their SER
vices free of charge. Building con-
tractors dropping by to watch the
work expressed amazement at the
energy displayed by the men.
Before 8 Am. walls were being
raised into position. Two hours
later roofers were advancing over
the top of the building, while the
colonial siding boards were being
nailed over the tar-paper covering
of the rough siding. Electricians
installed wiring and outlets just
ahead of crew packing insulation
on the inside of the walls and nail
ing up the sheetrock covering. The
oil burner and radiant heat unit
were installed and ready for use
by the middle of the afternoon.

Strike of $4,000
Southwest Phone
Workers Imminent

Washington (LPA)-A strike of
$4,000 telephone workers in six
southwestern states was imminent
as the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Co. baked at the proposals of a
special committee of six state gov
ernors to avert the walkout.
Members of Division 20, Com
munications Workers of America,
voted overwhelmingly last month
to strike, after negotiations were
broken off Dec. q, following two
months of fruitless negotiations,
with US conciliators trying vainly
to bring peace. At the last moment
Gov. Forrest Smith of Missouri
caused an uneasy truce when he
announced he would not invoke the
state utility anti-strike law if the
union and the company would meet
with him and the governors of five
other states affected-Illinois, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Arkansas an d
Texas. The union accepted immedi
ately, postponing. strike action to
midnight, Dec. 81. The company
reluctantly also agreed, without
commitments. Day-long meetings
were held Dec. 20 with the union,
later with the company. Late that
evening the governors committee
called both sides together and pro-
posed:
The union and the company get
resume bargaining in
good faith, and continue negotia-
tions for at least Is days;
After Is days, all unsettled is
sues to be submitted to arbitration.
The union accepted at once. The
agreed to negotiate but
refused to say it would agree to
arbitrate any issues unsettled.
"We may strike at midnight,
Dec. 81, unless the company ac
cepts the entire proposal" union
spokesman then announced. AS
US conciliators moved in again, the
union spokesman said, "We've done
everything we could to avoid a |
strike. The governors have done
everything they could do. So has
he Cancellation service. Everybody
has tried except the company. Now i
t is up to them"

Finding nothing, the police left.
Two hours later, JAW mainten-

well. The smell of burning powder
still fingered in the area. Police
then posted a guard.
Information about the ATTEMPTED
dynamiting may be sent to JAW

method. Just write the information
on slip of paper with a six digit
