Railroad Men
Back at Jobs
In Centers
Railroad switchmen returned
to their jobs in many import
ant centers yesterday but there
was no general back to work
Movement, Senator Humphrey
(d., Minn.) said he had good rea
sons "to be optimistic, a settle
ment of the rail strike may be
imminent." I
Switchmen went back to their
jobs in large numbers at Phila
delphia, Boston, Washington,
Baltimore, Chattanooga, Buffalo
and other large cities.
Although rail freight was be
ginning to move in some locali
ties, the logjam continued else
where. Many other cities also
noted no back-to-work trend de
spite defense Mobilizer Charles
E. Wilson's plea to the workers.
Even if the strike should end
this week, it will take days for
industry to regain full produc
tion and some ot tne output iosi
during the strike will never be
regained.

The L.B. 36 will become law

j Nine DPs Aided First Year
i 1949-1950 was the program's
J debut year on the University
' campus. Nine displaced persons
jwere aided in the first year. Ten
DPs have been helped during the
first semester of the 1950-51 year,
j Of this year's DPs, four will
enter the armed services, four
; will graduate and two might pos
sibly remain at the University
!for next year.
During the program's first
year, $10,000 was given to aid
the DPs. Of this amount, the
University offered scholarships
and the remainder was used for
rooms, board, clothing, laundry,
haircuts and books for the dis
Dlaeed nersons.
Purpose of the program has
been to help the displaced per
sons to be on their own. Their
allowances have been decreased
according to their ability to earn.
The DPs have been urged to
become independent as soon as
possible. One of the persons aided
by this program has dropped off
of the DP scholarship list by ob
taining a Regent's scholarship to
continue his University studies.
All from Europe
All of the University's DPs
have come from Europe. Some of
them were originally fTom coun
tries behind the Iron Curtain,
such as Latvia and Yugoslavia.
Nebraska has held a unique
position among the nation's uni
iversities because of this program.
Very few colleges laite pari in
such a program.
The University was one of the
first schools to start the DP plan.
Nebraska has been highly com
mended for its work along this
line.
The University has been in
strumental in encouraging simi
lar action by members of the
Big-Seven Student Council con
ference. Romaine Rasmussen is chair
man of the displaced persons
committee within the Religious
Welfare council; Dr. Fuhr is fac
ulty adviser for the committee.
Keith Stevenson is the Reli
trions Welfare council representa
tive on the Student council.

Spring conference chairman
Doris Carlson will lead presen
tation and discussion on the pro
posed conference to be held in
April. ;
According to Miss Carlson, the
steering committee has drawn up
plans for three projects, one of
which will be chosen by vote of
NUCWA members at the mass
meeting. j
Three Projects
The three projects will carry
out either a mock Security Coun
cil, the general assembly political
committee or a college legisla
tive conference.
In 1950's conference, the or
ganization staged a mock United
Nations general assembly. All
United Nation member nations
were represented by houses and
organizations on campus.
The 1951 spring conference
would follow the same line with
either organizations or interested
groups providing the presenta
tion. Prior to discussing the three
alternatives, Jerry Matzke, vice
president of NUCWA, will pre
sent the argument for the Se
curity Council to the group. Miss
Carlson will explain the plans for
the general assembly political
committee and Sue Allen will
present plans for the college con
ference. Peterson to Preside
Presiding at the meeting will
be President Harold Peterson. Pe
terson hopes the meeting will
serve as a kick-off to second se
mester activity and will orient
NUCWA members as to their du
ties for the spring conference.
Peterson points out that voting
on the three projects will be final.

Meat Lab
To Improve
Ag Facilities
The proposed Meat laboratory
which will be constructed in the
spring will provide the Univer
sity with more adequate facili
ties in the research and teaching
program of meat and meat prod
ucts, said Prof. William J. Loef
fel, head of the animal husbandry
department.
Ag students will learn the
various ways meat is utilized for
use such as slaughtering, curing,
freezing, wrapping and prepara
tion of meat for use.
There will be some Home Ec
courses stressing meat cuts and
the different methods of prepar
ing meat.
Research will be on a greater
scale with breeding projects in
which hogs, sheep and cattle must
be killed in order to evaluate ex
periments in nutrition and breed
ing.
To Train Men
Professor Loeffel said the de
partment may cooperate with the
quartermatser corps in training
men lor meat cutting and prep
aration in the armed services.
Some short courses will be of
fered for freezer locker operators,
notei men and restaurant owners,
The new building will cost
$336,765 equipped, John K. Sel
leek, University business man
ager said. The main section will
be 112 feet long, 32 feet wide
and two stories high. It wiU be
finished in buff colored brick
with limestone trim.
Floor Facilities
The killing and holding rooms,
experimental freezing equipment,
a meat cutting demonstration
room and offices will be on the
first floor: The second floor will
provide room for a large re
search laboratory, a meat cook
ing laboratory and classrooms.
The basement will be utilized for
a by-products laboratory for lard
rendering, meai curing, sausage
making and meat canning, refrig
eraetd store rooms and storage
space for equipment.
Loeffel said that the new Meat
laboratory will provide the Uni
versity with facilities "on a par
with any other Big Seven uni
versity to carry out a program
of research."
RCA Researcher
Speaks to AIEE
Cyril N. Hoyler, one of the top
scientists ki the country and a
member, of the RCA research
staff, was the guest speaker at a
meeting of AIEE last night at
Ferguson hall.
Hoyler, a former professor, is
now a special assistant to the vice
president in charge of research
at the RCA labs in Princeton,
New Jersey. He is a senior mem
ber of IRE, Sigma Xi, honorary
technical fraternity and is in
"Who's Who in Engineering."
The scientist spoke on the
equation solver which solves
simultaneous equations and can
compute to one-ten thousandth
of a second and will count to in

formation on phosphorous and its
relation to colored television.
Hoyler showed colored slides of

come anything else but." The
person, however, who is spon
taneously and effortlessly amus
ing all the time are a rare avis,
St which I know only one Em
y Kimbrough."
Miss Kimbrough got her first
job in the advertising department
of Marshall Field and became ed
itor of Field's "Fashions of the
Hour."
Hired By Magazine.
One day when she came back
from lunch, she found the editor
of the Ladie's Home Journal
waiting for her. Sure that she
knew what he mission was,, she
told him politely but firmly that
"Fashions of the Hour" would
now use his magazine patterns.
The editor listened mutely to
this, and then told Miss Kim
borough he hadn't come about
patterns; he merely wanted to
offer her the fashion editor post
at Ladies Home Journal. Within
a short time she became man
aging editor of the magazine.
Miss Kimbrough, or Mrs.
Wrench as she is known in pri
vate life, resigned her magazino
post to have twin daughters
which she named with character
istic good humor, A and B. They
have other names but as Miss
Skinner, who is B's godmother,
complains, "Not even I know
them."
Stayed With Hollywood
When she and Miss Skinner
turned out their hilarious work,
"Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay," it was almost a foregone
conclusion that Hollywood would
snap it up. What the authors
didn't anticipate was that Holly
wood would snap them up, too,
as technical advisers in the film
ing of the book.
For the past several years Miss
Kimbrough has pursued a suc
cessful career as motion picture
writer in Hollywood. Unliko
many authors, who became im
patient with moviedom's capital,
she loves Hollywood.
"In Hollywood," she says,
"there is an awareness that ev
eryone around you is working.
You catch fire from each other's
work and there is always the
impetus to produce."
Miss Kimbrough is being pre
sented by the University convo
cations committee and the Union.
