"Faust, the Wicked Magician" Is
Show Scheduled ; Under Spon
sorship of Local P. T. A.
PLAN TWO PERFORMANCES
Tony Sarg and his world-famous
marionette troupe will ap
pear here January 22 for two
performances in the Carolina
Playmakers theatre.
The punch-and-judy showmen
are scheduled to present "Faust,
the Wicked Magician," a drama
along the same powerful theme
made famous by the works of
the past masters, Marlowe, Goe
the, and Gounod.
Sarg will present his marion
ettes at a 3:30 matinee and at
an 8 o'clock evening perform
ance. '
Famous Theme
The famous theme of Faust
and his alliance with the devil is
vividly portrayed by the mari
onettes. Lelah and Marguerite
come into the life of Faust and,
with the devil on the side, a mer
ry arrangement follows. .
. The' heavy cast goes Cecil B.
DeMille in portions of the drama
and the show becomes stupend
ous! Soldiers, guards, police,
arrests, duels,, and red smoke,
wicked magic all dramatized
by tiny creatures under the deft
finger-tips of Tony Sarg and his
assistants.
According to the Playmakers
office, Sarg's marionette troupe
last appeared at Carolina in
March, 1925.
The performance next week
will be sponsored by the Chapel
Hill Parent-Teacher Associa
tion, Admission prices are
adults, 50 cents; children 25

For New Trial

influenced by fact and logic, not
emotion.
In a dingy room of a third-
rate hotel, Sonnie Davis was in
duced to outline the case of the
prisoners, uavis is the head oi
the textile union's local at Bur
lington, and, being anxious to
keep both himself and his organ
ization out of the case, was
hesitant about talking for pub
lication.
As a matter of fact, the textile
union, as such, was never shown
to be implicated in the crime.
Blalock and Overman, accused,
convicted, and sentenced for the
actual ;thrpwing of the dynamite,
were never members of the un
ion. As far as Davis knows,
they never even worked in the
mill they bombed. Anderson,
however, convicted on the
charge of conspiracy, and ac
cused of being the "brains of the
crime was tormerly president
of the union's Piedmont Council.
Sympathizers of the defend
ants Davis said, believe unfair
methods were resorted to in ob
taining, a written confession
from Overman. To understand
this contention it is necessary to
review a bit of history.

SENATE APPROVES
ARMS REGULATION
Senators Yeatman, Henderson,
McKee, and President Lee De
fend Bill Against Gibbes.
The Dialectic Senate went on
record last night as favoring
strict governmental regulation
of the munitions trade, after a
series of pointed talks by the
senators in which both sides of
the question were brought out.
The bill was passed by a vote
pf 18-5. As stated, the measure
read : Resolved, that there be a
strict governmental regulation
of the munitions trade.
Gibbes Opposed
Opposing the proposal was
Alexander Mason Gibbes, presi
dent of the Senate last fall, who
favored military preparedness
and the allowing of munition
firms to operate under the profit
motive during peacetimes.
Speaking against Gibbes and
favoring governmental control
of nlants manufacturing the
modern instruments of human
slaughter, were Senators Archi
bald Henderson, Jr., T. P. Yeat
man, Don McKee, and President
Lee. . :
Senator Yeatman painted, an
accurate picture of how muni
tion firms in the past , have led
countries to armed conflicts. lie
also pointed out how American
plants had insured the filling of
American soldiers with Ameri
can made bullets.
The bill, Resolved,, that Caro
lina .football teams play more
intersectional games was passed
without much discussion. , ,
The Senate also defeated the
measure, Resolved, that the
state gasoline tax go toward
maintenance and improvement
of .the -city streets as well as
highways.
Senator Rawls made a report
for the ways and means commit
tee on new methods of conduct
ing floor discussions.

Numerous maps and charts form
a supplement to the work.
"Pro-Slavery Thought in the
South" is "the title of a book
authored by Dr. William S. Jen
kins of the' University depart
ment; of government to be re
leased by the press in May. Dr.
Jenkins discusses the origins of
slavery thought and the various
theories relating to slavery.
Varied List
The field of folk lore and rural
economics appears to be well ex
ploited by an abundance of print
being issued by the University
Press this spring. However, the
field of subjects is far from re
stricted to the folk in the tall
timbers and economics. A Scots
man, H. John Symington, M.D.,
contributes to the variety with a
book on his experiences in India,
where he spent 25 years fighting
cholera and malaria, cleaning up
water supplies, hunting tigers
and leopards, and healing the
sick and wounded. .

PHI HEAD MAK
INAUGURAL TALK
Advises Organization to Re-establish
Itself on Campus and
Forget Adverse Criticism.'
In his inaugural speech to the
Phi Assembly last night, Speak
er Clarence Griffin asked the
representatives to go forward,
stressing the need of initiative,
sincerity, tolerance and co-operation
in the coming quarter.
"Our assembly," stated
ci r-i:fsc i -U . jx: i
cized severely during the last
quarter for its stand on certain
issues. Let us forget this criti-
cism ana, oy hard work, re
establish ourselves on this cam
pus."
Advises Tolerance
Griffin warned against intol
erance, counseling the assembly
to retain open :and unbiased
minds. He asked them to al
ways keep a sincerity of purpose
in their participation on the dis
cussion of bills on the floor of
the assembly hall.
Finally, he asked them to co
operate with him, for, he said,
"If we are . to re-establish this
assembly as it once was, we must
move in accord."
. The bill, Resolved, that " mid
term grades , be published was
passed, without discussion by an
overwhelming' majority. When
the next bill, - Resolved, that
North Carolina retain the sales
tax, came before the representa
tives, a, heated and lengthy dis
cussion began.'
Representatives W i n t h r o p
Duriee and Drew Martin op
posed the tax. 5 Durf ee said, "We
ought to stop a few of these
taxes." Martin characterized
the tax as a nettv nuisance, but
was unable to offer: a substitute.
Representatives Francis Fair-
ley and Albert Ellis advocated
the levy on sales. .The assembly
voted in favor of the bill by a
count of 15 to 2.
HE ALSO ADVISES
SALARY INCREASE
FQR INSTITUTIONS
SALES TAX IS BOLSTERED
Raleigh, Jan. 15. (UP) A
$114,000,000 budget, with $2,
500,000 a year, additional for
schools, 15 per cent salary raises
for state employes, and a sales
tax extended to cover all com
modities is North Carolina's an
swer to the question of finance
for the next two years.
, This huge , sum, covering op-
era tion of all the state's depart
ments, is divided almost equally
between the years 1935-36 and
1936-37. , For the first 12
months, a total expenditure of
$57,942,922 is provided, - while
$56,485,601 are allocated to the
second period.
The chief difference between
the two figures lies in a $2,000,
000 revolving fund for the high
way department to be establish
ed in the first half of the bien
nium. The 1935-37 proposed obliga
tion is based on an estimated
revenue of $123,526,624 for the
biennium and compares with ex
penditures and estimates, of
$103,536,114 for the biennium
1933-35.
The appropriation bill ac
companying the budget calls for
$1,000,000 less for each fiscal
year than the proposed total ex-"
penditures in the budget, due to
transfer of that amount from
the highway and public works
fund to the general fund as its
contribution to the cost of gen
eral government under an act of
the 1933 General Assembly.
" Salaries Increased
In providing a 15 per cent in
crease in salaries of state em
ployes, the budget commission
calls attention to the fact that
this percentage is based on sala
ries and wages in effect at the
present time. The actual in
crease, it is pointed out, amounts
to approximately. 9 per cent for
departments and 10 per cent for
institutions on the basis of the
1929 pay, and current salaries
will remain below the maximum
by about 29 .per cent for depart
mental eriiployes and 22 per
cent for those of institutions.
Under terms of the 1935-37
revenue bill, also accompanying

HOW RECOMMENDATION
AFFECTS UNIVERSITY
The governor's recommen
dation for the Greater Uni-
versity in his budget message
last night was that it should
receive $1,068,525 for the fis
cal year of 1935-36.
. President Graham, ,in his
speech before the advisory
budget commission on Sep
tember 25, 1934, requested an
appropriation of ' $1,385,768
for the same period. The
budget authority, therefore,
has recommended . $317,243
less than the President re
quested. For the 1934-35 fiscal, year
the Greater University was
appropriated only $832,330. If
Governor Ehringhaus' recom
mendation is followed by the
general assembly, the appro
priation for the next fiscal
year, beginning next June,
will1 have been increased by
$236,195.
