contained in the la*-vithholding
statements that have been sent
to • almost 8000 chi leyes of the
College _for inclution with their
1950 tax returns. The College used
the forms, purchased from the
Moore Business Forms, Incorpo
rated, not knowing of the Chinese
inscription.
The Chinese message read in
part: "Arise to exterminate the
aggressor. We must all contribute
generously. This should be pro
claimed through the press—
through Kuomintang."
The writing appeared on the
forms in the rectangle underneath
the part of the statement that lists
the employe's social security
number, earnings, and withhold
ing deductions. An investigation
into the appearance of the propa
ganda has failed to turn up any
evidence as yet.
"Sometimes we print a jumbled
series of numerals over other
printed matter considered extran
eous on a business statement,"
a company spokesman said. "This
device is known as a 'Chinese
blackboard,' but consists merely
of jumbled numerals. We have
never used Chinese writing for
that purpose."
Another business form pur
chased from the Moore company
by the College more than a year
ago, however, has what appears
to be Chinese writing used for a
similar purpose. The Collegian
is attempting to have the writing
translated.

firms to cancel layoffs, but 4,000
miners were sent home in West
Virginia, 2,000 in Indiana an d
4,500 lumber workers face unem
ployment in Oregon because of
the spreading strike there.
At the height of the stoppage.
some 12,000 switchmen were off
the job, forcing the layoff of 250,-
000 industrial workers and the
imposition of mail, freight and
express embargoes.
In Washington, where the Na

has been trying to end the dis
pute, Senator Humphrey (D-
Minn) said he had good reason
to believe a settlement "may be
imminent." '
But the defense transport ad
ministration, to meet the immed
iate emergency, ordered motor
freight carriers to give first claim
on their services to the armed
forces, the Atomic Energy corn
mission and the mails.
