A group Of sleepy-eyed, weary
students sat slumped over in
their desks, hanging on to that
mysterious realm of imagination,
but trying to grasp a few scat
tered words of French, when Ill
Ola sudden someone yelled, 1.-THE
ANIMALS are here!" At last the
long awaited yearbooks had ar
rived. One of the bundles was
slightly open so the French stu
dents got a first hand view OF
the pretty blue cover. The most
usual scene for the rest Of the
week was someone signing an
autograph for 4 friend. The an
nuals turned out real we'll and
we're real proud of them. Since
ehryone won't be able to see
one of our ANNALS, I'll tell you
IA little about them.

STAR CONVENTION BU-
REAU. Chicago, Aug. 13.-Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt was reported
today to be using her influence
/ to try to avert a fight in the
Democratic convention over the
explosive civil rights issue.
The widow of the former Presi-
dent made a surprise visit last
night to the room in the Black
stone Hotel in which 16-mem-
Der subcommittee was drafting
the platform.
She declined to tell reporters
what she discussed with the
platform drafters, but from an
other source it was reported she
told them the important thing
lis the solidarity of the Demo-
cratic Party.
Compromise Assured"
Former President Truman said
today he has been assured" the
civil rights plank will be one "all
Democrats can support"
1T may gag Southerners a
little but they'll support it," Mr..
Truman added at the conclusion
of his early morning walk. The
South will not bolt again.
They've had too many lessons
about that"
But the advocates of a
strong civil rights plank were
busy in other parts of Chicago,
serving notice that they will not
be content with a compromise
which fails to indorse the Su-
Ipreme Courts school indignation
decision. The Southerners have
insisted they cannot go along
with a plank which makes any
direct mention of that decision.
Reuther in Leading Role
Walter P. Reuther, head of the
JAW, was taking a leading role
in urging the liberals to insist,
not only on an Endorsement of
the Supreme Courts decision but
steps to implement it.
Mr.. Reuther was one of sew
eral advocates of strong plank
who addressed mass meeting
in the Morrison Hotel. arranged
by the leadership conference on
civil rights. Others who spoke
were Senator Lehman of New
York and Representative Diggs

Mr.. Diggs declared that if the
