' “Students may park their vehicles on College streets and in employee lots after Fp. m. on Mondays through Fridays, Sat urday afternoons and aU day Sundays. Cars must not be parked in places other than their assigned parking areas after 2 a. m. each night, except Saturday night.” This is the new reading of a paragraph on page 27 of the College Regulations which deals with traffic regulations. The parking change was passed lay’ the Col lege Traffic Committee after they had re ceived a recommendation to that effect submitted by the Student Senate Traffic ition of the physi- fic on this campus, 3us traffic picture are ic very fast or many Senate at their last meeting. ; } Car owners should be weH pleased by tempered by the cal limitations for Changes jn the not expected to col large number. iditures of money on this cam pus for buildings and improvements can not be unlimited.

The TVaffic Committee of the Student Senate may claim responsibility for initiaf- ing the recommendation which has now be come law. Their efforts have paid off hi the rule change 1 ; other of their recommen dations have not bren adopted by the Col lege Traffic Committee. ! ^ eo» and administrative committcee -aro Both traffic committees are thankless all trying to* ^nake the best out of a bail organisations whose actions must be ever traffic situation. : ■ I ; j ■ | ' ’ I j The CIO: Getting on the Right Side ctf the Ocean while. Such action as was taken by the Col lege Traffic Committee is an improvement of existing conditions, without additional expenditures. It is an enlightened approaclii toward making better use of the facilities we already'have. The new rule will be o|f great convenience to car owners who are on the campus over the weekends. The change has the effect of makln us feef that everybody—students, emplo; cos and administrative committees- .v* Like a giant octopus who finds out that some pf his tentacles are disease infested, the CIO is hacking off several of its in fested tentacles and trying to grow new ones in their places. _ The-diseased tentacles have been seized- by Communist domination, and the CIO had rather do without these unions than have them as they are. The latest union to become disaffiliated with the CIO is the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers (44,000). In this union, like other organizations recently kicked out by Mother CIO, Com munists have infiltrated into top union offices and their positions have become segure even beyond union members’ will. Other CIO union|s to be severed from the great industrial union parent are the Office and Professional Workers, the Food Tobacco and Agricultural Workers, the Public Workers, the United Electrical Workers, and the Farm Equipment Work ers. This action appears to have been taken after the CIO had exhausted all tricks, efforts, and maneuvers to dislodge the communists. ; < The CIO has not abandoned workers in these disaffiliated industries. Rather the CIO is setting up new unions in those in dustries and appeal is being made for , workers to quit the communist-ridden un ions aftd join the new CIO unions. Considerable success along this line has been achieved in the electrical industry and National Labor Regulations Board elec tions; are being held in a number of electri cal manufacturing plants to decide whetlj-. er the old communist United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers expelled last fall from the CIO or the new International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, CIO, will represent workers at bargaining conferences. Next Tuesday, 28,000 General Motors workers will vote on this issue. When the CIO first began chopping off its communist diseased unions, loud cries were heard within the monstrous labor: organization. Now, their protests are but a whisper. The CIO has discovered (later than it should havie, some criticize)! that the inter ests of American labor and jthe interests of the Soviet Union are not compatible apd they do not go hand-in-hand. The two in terests are diametrically opposed. These steg® by the CIO to purge itsejlf of Communist led unions receives the hear ty approval: of all thinking Americans, whether these Americans agree with other CIO policies br not. Once it has been established that labor and management are working for thejir own interpretations of a better Americja, interpretations not colored by foreign con cepts, whatever progress and achievement either or both pjarties make, the national good will be served. The CIO has done much to establish itself with an interpretation of a better America uncolored by conflicting political ideologies from nations unsympathetic American democracy. * The Battalion t "Soldi*, Stattsman, Knightly Gentleman” Lawrence Sullivan Ross, Founder of Aggie Traditions The Associated Press isj. entitled exclusively to the use for republication of all news diapat. credited to it or not otherwise credited in the paper and local news of spontaneous origin publish ed herein.

President Truman presisted in a stern refusal today to give Congress, confidential ‘'loyalty" files on federal employees, t 'f- ; . ' l . , • \ j Ho aald he has promised'the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he will otherwise cooperate with it in disproving what he called false charges made by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) that a communist ring exists in the Bute Department. He told it news cqnfei'enee that subpoena powers voted by the Senate for the committee Investigators 'would make no difference to him. He said It would be pretty hard to serve a subpoena on the presi dent slnee the government Xffjirds him protection against such service, Mr, Truman emphasized that his directive to government depart ments to refuse congressional demands for offlclsl files on loyalty In vestigations still stands. This directive provides that all such demands be turned over to him by the departments. ~ Jokes With Newsmen The president laughed and Joked with the, hcwsmeii today in contrast to the sharp exchanges of last week wheh they questioned him regarding an exclusive interview he gave Arthur Krock of the New York Times. Once more h,e rejected demands in and out of Congress that some new dramatic approach be made to Russia in the cold War. He said he doesn’t eeO how it can be settled in that manner. Ho added this country has made every approach possible in the United Nations in an effort to reach an agreement on atomic controls, but jit has been un able to get one. : f \ f He said there have been no new peace feelers from Russia. Refuses Comment Mr. Truman refused to comment on the bill passed by the Housd today setting iip a Fair Employment Practices Commission stripped of enforcement powers. But he referred newsmen to his previous mes-i, sages on the subject in which he called for a commission “with author ity” to prevent discrimination in employment based on race,, color, re ligion or national origin. Asked if it would be possible to legislate against racial-discrimin ation and still leave employers, free to hire and fire as they please, the president replied he always thought so. He responded good naturedly when asked how he classed a state ment by Senator Byrd (D-Va) attacking his budget. That was purely political, he skid, grinning. j Asked about Wisconsin Democrats quoting him as hoping Sena tor Wiley (R-Wis) will be replaced by a democrat this fall, he chuckled and replied he is exceedingly hopeful a great many Republicans will be reblaced by Democrats. & p, PALACE Bryan 2'8$79 PREVUE TONITE - 11 P.

He went so far Award '* George Doodle Dandy,” a musical. But we’ve always favored him as a tough guy, cocky and belig- gefent, sheering at the world. Yes, the Cag is back as a gang ster, a tough,: swaggering, belli cose little banty rooster, hurling spittle, derisive laughter and char acter aspersions into the hateful faces of cops, and pushing the babes around, cave-man style. The complex ; role of Cody Jiar- rett, psychopathic killer wraught with a chronic Oedipus-complex, offers Cagney his most substan tial screen undertaking to date. Through Cagney’s sensitive inter pretation under the guidance of director Raoul Walsh, Cody Jar- rett emerges as a sympathetic and credible’ screen port rat, a stark reminder 1 of the wakes of crime and the part which foul social environment plays in fos- tering^crime. Like previous Cagney gang ster prototypes. Cody is a is a thorough hoodlum, but at the same, time he’s thoroughly hu man.

Clever little Cody cagily, avoids the charges by fleeing North and pleading guilty to a less serious offense committed there earlier. Sentenced to s short term, he expects to make it even shorter through the ef forts of his mother. But his best laid schemes go astray when mother is killed and wife stolen by Big Ed (Steve Brodie), a factious mejnber of the gang. And to top that, the FBI sends an undercover man (Ed mond O’Brien) to prison, under the gujse of] a convict to draw a; confession fp-om Cody to the dual California crimes.' What ensuies may be discovered at Guion today. It should suffice now to say that “White Heat” is an altogether intelligently con structed screen play, handled- flawlessly by cast And director, and packed with conflict. '£ .j - mm/.
