Many former Daily staff members are found among the ranks of successful journalists and businessmen. Employers looking for reporters, advertising execu- tives, and copy writers many times ap- proach The Daily directly before they hire. Stan Swinton, former Daily City Editor and current chief of the Associated Press' Near East foreign bureau at Cairo, Egypt, offers absolute proof that journalistic ex- perience with The Daily pays off. Until his recent reassignment to Cairo, Swinton served as top man of AP's Eastern bureau. * * * 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. Today NEW MEMBERS of the business staff learn fundamental office procedures, ad- vertising layout, and later are assigned to service accounts. The 'Ensian editorial staff will meet with prospective members at 4 p. m. Tues- day, Oct. 3. 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. -Daily- DAILY GOES TO BED-Night editor, makeup man, and reporter put finishing touche EDITOR'S NOTE See Page 4 Y it ujn Latest Deadline in the State ~aii4 CLOUDY, COOLER VOL.

MEMBERS of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Sen- ate-House Atomic Committee met behind closed doors to reassess "plan for the future with the view in mind of increasing and main- taiming our present superiority" in 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? SLWarns of IllegalSales Students should beware of un- authorized vendors soliciting on campus and in residences, Leonard Wilcox, '52, Chairman of SL':: Better Business Bureau warned yesterday. Several complaints of magazine fraud have been received already this semester by the Better Bus- inmess Bureau. The SL urges all students to demand authorization cards from the SL's Better Bus- iness Bureau, Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce and the Ann Arbor Police Department before making purchases, Wilcox said.

German Rebirth (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles by two Daily staff members who spent the summer in Europe as leaders of an NSA study tour.) By BARNEY AND DOLORES LASCHEVER Amidst the still naked ruins of World War II, Germany is experiencing a rebirth. It is still too early to tell whether the new child will grow into a monster again, but the evidence we saw was not too promising. WE ENTERED Germany accredited by the London Foreign Of- flce as correspondents for The Daily. Our train crossed fromHolland into the British--one and sped down along the incomparable Rhine River to Frankfurt Churchill Hits British Pound Devaluation LONDON-0P)-Winston Chur- chill yesterday called devaluation of the pound a lamentable and serious disaster for Britain and asked Parliament to tie a can to the Labor government. The former Prime Minister who leads the Conservative Party rip- ped into Sir Stafford Cripps as a blundering Chancellor of the Ex- chequer who lacked foresight and turned "completely round like a squirrel in his cage." * * * THEN HE OFFERED a motion of no confidence in the Labor gov- ernment. If the motion should be carried in the vote today, at the end of an emergency three-day session, Prime Minister Attlee would have to resign and take his case to the voters in a general election. However, Labor has 393 of the 640 seats in the House of Commons. The predominantly Conserva- tive House of Lords last night re- jected, 93 to 24, a government mo- tion approving devaluation.n 4 where we were quartered in the lavish Army press center in the Park Hotel. Here is what we saw: * * * THE LARGE cities are still marred by block after block of rubble heaps and skeletons of buildings. There is a good deal of scaffolding and construction work, though not nearly enough. It is estimated that it will take 20 years to clear the ruins in Frankfurt alone. Food stores and other shops are stocked with goods not on display in 1945 or 1947, but wages-an av- erage $60 per month-are too low to match the comparatively high prices. Workers we spoke to are not content, but neither are they starving. * * * THE BLACKMARKET is still in existence, but considerably re- duced since the currency reform. Occupation GI's, for example, fid it extremely difficult to parlay a batch of cigarettes into a camera the way they used to. There is still a great deal of re- sentment to what the Germans term the "undemocratic" denazi- fication program which ended last spring, but which admittedly has not reduced the spirit of Nazism very considerably.

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.

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.
