IN ITS 59 YEARS of existence, The
Daily has obtained enough equipment to
outfit the best college newspaper shop in
the country. A full staff of linotype opera-
tors, makeup men and printers bring The
Daily close to technical perfection.
All students, except first semester-
freshmen, who possess at least a "C"
average are eligible for work on student
publications. Eligibility cards may be ob-
tained at the Administration Building.
The Daily, one of the nation's top col-
lege papers, is also big business. Over
60,000 column inches of advertising each
-wally Barth year and a 7,000 circulation make The
s on paper. Daily a $100,000 a year business.

The 'Ensian editorial staff will meet

Yearbook jobs, like those with Gargoyle
and The Daily, offer a veritable wealth
of experience.
'Ensian editorial staff workers must write
copy for the book. gather information from
the many campus organizations, take my-
riads of pictures, layoutrthe pages of the
book and see that all printers' deadlines
are met.
Business staff workers on the 'Ensian
perform tasks similar to those performed
by Daily and Garg business staffers.
The 'Ensian's volume of advertising en-
ables prospective ad staffers to pick up
valuable pointers for a career in advertis-
ing. The American advertising profession
has been the final destination of many ex-
'Ensian advertising enthusiasts who used
'Ensian experience as a valuable stepping-
stone.
If your writing naturally leans to the
humorous side, the Gargoyle can supply
all the answers. Strictly a "funny man's"
magazine, the Garg serves as a monthly
source of pleasure. And the opportunities
for advancement are excellent-in both
the editorial and business departments.

behind closed doors to reassess

in mind of increasing and main-

the atomic field.
2. Undersecretary of State
James E. Webb once again af-
firmed this country's unbudging
support of the United Nations
plan for international control
of atomic energy through a
strict security inspection system.
He told a news conference that
this proposal-which Russia has
refused to accept-"remains the
only feasible, workable and ef-
fective one so far advanced."
3. A top general indicated that
military planners already have
gone to work on new ways to use
the atom bomb-if the need arises.
In a summation report, Ges. Jacob
L. Devers, chief of the Army
Ground Forces, recommended that
defense strategists give "further
study" to the possibility of using
the bomb for direct troop support.
As the tempo of the atomic
talks quickened, the prime ques-
tion remained-where and how to
get more uranium from which
atom bombs are made?

German Rebirth
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles by two Daily

Amidst the still naked ruins of World War II, Germany is
experiencing a rebirth.

into a monster again, but the evidence we saw was not too promising.

'Trying to Force
Strike' - Murray
PITTSBURGH-(P) -Big steel
offered a 10-cent peace package
to its workers but got only union
scorn in return.
Negotiations bogged down with.
the nation facing a steel strike to-
morrow midnight. Federal media-
tors again rushed into the pic-
ture and one small steel company
broke off negotiations entirely.
A DAY OF rapid fire action
brought these developments:
1. Industry leader United
States Steel Corporation pro-
posed to settle the pension-in-
surance war by paying up to 10
cents an hour per man as its
share of social security pro-
grams. Employes were asked to
contribute about $2 to $3
monthly for insurance and un-
specified amounts for pensions
and to agree to a year's contract
extension to April 30, 1951.
2. CIO United Steelworkers
made no formal answer but presi-
dent Philip Murray issued a state-
ment insisting the industry follow
presidential board recommenda-
tions for company financed pen-
sions and insurance. He accused
steel of deliberately trying to force
a strike. This was taken to mean
flat rejection of big steel's offer.
4. CYRUS CHING, director of
the Federal Mediation Service,
sent aides to 45 key steel negotiat-
ing sessions in an effort to hasten
a settlement. He indicated it was
just about his last maneuver.
5. The Crucible Steel Company
broke off negotiations with the
union, saying it could not afford'
to take part in a pension-insur-
ance program regardless of wheth-
er employes chipped in.

New violence flared up in the
nation's coal fields yesterday with
one man reported killed and an-
other seriously wounded as hun-
dreds of non-union miners return-
ed to the pits in defiance of John
L. Lewis' United Mine Workers.
Deputy Sheriff Carl Black of
Jasper, Ala., reported officers were
seeking the body of a miner re-
ported killed near a strip mine
operated by the six Preskitt broth-
ers.
ONE MAN, Hershell Davis, 51,
was in a Jasper Hospital suffering
from shotgun wounds in the face,
chest and stomach. His condition
was described as serious.
The Preskitt brothers mine is
located in an isolated rural area
miles away from the nearest
telephone. It was the scene of
an hour-long gun battle yester-
day when an outside group mov-
ed in on the hillside strip.
Meantime, armed guards pro-
tected mine property and em-
ployes in western Pennsylvania
and other states. Police patrolled
some highways.
In Centre County, Pennsylvania,
bullets were fired at 13 trucks,
There were no reports of casual-
ties.
The firing at the Preskitt mine
became general shortly after 1
p.m. when a group advanced on
the mine.
Gene Peskitt, son of one of
the miners, said he was acting
as a lookout at the mine located
20 miles west of Birmingham
when he spotted a group coming
through the woods. He fired his
rifle as a warning. Answering
shots came from the woods.
Meanwhile, the 10-day walkout
of 480,000 soft and hard coal min-
e6s began digging deeply into re-]
serves.
