f 2 f v \ Gabbard Hears Truman Address At NPA Meeting in Washington L. P. Gabbard, head of the Agricultural Economics and Sociology, Department was in Washington, D. C., recently as a member of the National Planning Association. Association members were addressed by President Har ry S. Truman, Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin, Sec retary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan, EGA Director Paul G. Hoffman, and Geoffrey* Crowther, editor of the London i Economist. President Truman made an off-! the-record talk to the group in which he complimented the NPA program and expressed his long' time interest in planning to im prove local and national govern ment and to improve international relations. Gabbard said the presi dent was pleasant and chatty and did not try to be profound. Secretary of Labor Tobin, who is sponsoring a bill to remove re strictions on labor organizations, emphasized the importance of col lective bargaining before the NPA group. EGA Director Paul G. Hoffman said real progress had been made in the economy of Western Europe and seemed optimistic about the future. Secretary of Agriculture Brannan indicated his willingness to cooperate with planning groups and told NPA members that the main objective of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture was to bring about conditions that would enable farmers to live as well as non-farmers. Gabbard said the cleverest talk delivered at the meeting was given by Geoffrey Crowther, edi tor of the London Economist. Crowther reviewed the national ization movement in Great Brit ain and pointed out that its de velopment had not thus far brought about the downfall pre dicted by its opponents. Neither has it been the panacea promis ed by its most staunch advocates he said. Crowther did not feel that the nationalization movement had yet made a very great economic change in Great Britain. He advocated 111 limiting government activities to dealing with broad general con trols such as currency, and not concern itself with small details. Gabbard is a member of the Committee of the South, a sub committee of NPA which is study ing and promoting industrial de velopment of the South for better utilization of national and human resources, fie has been a member of the committee since it was es tablished in 1946. - ELECTIONS - (Continued from Page 3) called for a five man run off in the races originally having six or more entrants. For those positions where less than six men entered only two men will appear in the run off. The next ballot will be distributed as soon as an official count can be made and the ballot printed, officials said. All offices seemed to require run offs except that of Veteran’s vice president, according to the official tabulators. Hammer Joins K IE Department Garland G.

These books are usually charged out for two weeks however a shorter period may be designated, Ballance said. The newly announced regulations state that the definition of reserve books must be strictly enforced. Fiction books, government docu ments, periodicals, reference books and pink slip books will not be placed on reserve. The library re serves the right to remove excess copies of books from the reserve shelves which have not been used for a semester. If reserved books of which the library has only one copy have not circulated after one semester, the library retains the right to return them to general circulation after notifying the pro fessor, Ballance said. Books on Reserve To place books on reserve, reg ulations require that the depart ment heads fill out the form pi’o- vided by the library at the begin ning of each semester. In the event that the library has duplicates of books requested for reserve at least one copy will be held for gen eral circulation .Professors should submit reserve lists at least five days in advance of class assign ments, in order to abide by the regulations. At the end of each semester a form letter is sent to each profes sor having books on reserve ask ing whether or not the books shall be removed from the reserved list, Ballance stated. If no answer to the contrary is received the books are returned to general circulation. The library will place on reserve only material for a designated course as approved in the college curriculum, Ballance concluded.
