UNIVERSITYON AIR; COLLEGE 15 | TAKENT0 OTHERS BATON. ROUGE, La., May 23— Once a week Oncle Phillippe puts aside his farm itools and calls his wife and son together for a family chat, Then—or later—their friends for miles around hear the conver- sation. | The family jokes and talks .in French, not the Parisian variety but | the dialect peculiar to the South- west Louisiana “Cajun” country where live most of the state’s half- million French-speaking citizens. This homey conversation is trans- | cribed by Louisiana State University and recordings of the programs are | passed around to radio stations for broadcast. Oncle Phillippe, his wife, Tante Alice, and their son (all faculty members) get a lot of folk tales on the radio that way, and sandwiched | attractively into the stories are bits of informatioh on how to tend po- tatoes, cure pork, bake bread, grow bathtub stain. That's the idea behind the pro— grams—they are one phase of a vast project designed to extend the university's - teaching facilities | throughout the state. Other broadcasts give- lessons in | ‘history,’ dgriculture, home econemics, | music_sppreciation, vocational.guid- ance, and current affairs. | Ralph, Steetle, 26-year-old direc- tor of the programs, explains the idea’ this way: = “We feel we have a vast fount of | knowledge here at the university which is unayailable to a lot of people because they just can't drop everything and come here to class. So we're going to take that knowl- edge to them.” Seven stations donate a total 6f 20 hours a week in 15-minute broad- casts for the work. e CARPENTERS LOCAL 2247 Regular meeting of May 26 will be MEETINGS WITH LABOR MEDIATOR ‘ARE CONTINUING Meetings between Conciliation Commissioner John O'Connor of the Department of Labor and princi- pals in the local labor trouble in- | volving CIO carpenter pickets on building jobs, continued today.

Earlier in the day, Riley, through a ruse, lured Dr. Sigmund Hersh- feld, Chicago surgeon, to a Chi- ¢ago apartment and there forced him, ati gun point, to remove a bullet lodged in Watson's spine during an attempted holdup and gun battle at a Chicago tavern in which a bystander was slain and two policemen dangerously wounded. Watson, though suffer- ing from his serious wound, was able to walk into the police sta- tion following their capture. Dr. at 9 pm, instead of 8 pm.; at A. Newspaper Advertising F. of L.
