JLA. -U. - V M To Grata Second-Team Congress By Gould Beech KOCH WILL READ 'CHRISTMAS CAROL' TONIGHT AT 8:30 (Following is a letter from Goj?ld Beech, former editorial writer for the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, now taking graduate" work at the Univer sity. Gould is a Southerner and quite a brilliant one but his ideas -about the relation of business to government are thoughts not often expressed in the South. As a rule we southerners don't like to talk about this relation, jnuch less think about it, eh, Gould? Stuart Rabb.) ' Pear Stuart: - Two weeks ago under the stimulation of the stock market decline you concluded your col umn with . a couple of para graphs that almost hit the nail on the head. I have been hoping that you would get around to the subject again but in the mean time you have been occupied with the current effort of Japan to establish peace in China and cret another piece, and various other subjects. ! The paragraph of 'yours re ferred to was: . "Someone must make up Mr. Roosevelt's mind as to whether the government is going to: (1) Stake out a sort of reservation on which private business can live comparatively unmolested, or (2) Take oyer all. business, lock, stock and barrel and stop this half-baked quibbling." While Congress has been fum bling around another Congress has been having -a session namely, the Congress of Ameri can Industry which is sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers. This other Con gress has lost no time in getting down to cases. ' . In effect it has offered to take over the country and let Con- sress tne one tnat meets m Washington) take a rest, a long, long rest. As an inducement for Congress to abdicate the New York congress following the key note of President du Pont holds UP a glittering prospect for the country. It sets forth in a series of resolutions certain definite Propositions, to wit: Billions of dollars of new capital arid the omployment of millions of men. But (and this but is the impor tant point): - ' "Manufacturing cannot do these things as well as it should, fnd as well as it wants to, if it s shackled by restrictive, legis lation, burdened with excessive taxes, continually in doubt as to the nature and' permanency of government policies, 'crippled by labor difficulties, and handi capped by inability to secure sufficient funds from investors.

Koch gave his first Tonight, at 8:30 in Memorial hall, the "Proff ' will give his 148th rendition of Dickens' ia mous Christmas play.. For almost 20 years now, he has been reading the "Carol" to Chapel Hill audiences when the holiday season rolls around, and the hall is always filled to ca pacity. Back in North Dakota, before "Proff" Koch came here to found the Carolina Playmakers, folks liked to hear him read the beloved Christmas play. And they say that when the railroads were snowbound or the engines were frozen, he would ride in sleighs, and in ancient hand cars, to fill his many engage ments. The entire program tonight will be in accord with the Christ mar spirit." Trom Y to 8:30 a group of specially selected Christmas pieces will be played by organist Robert Brawley. And after the reading begins, a further touch of Yuletide feeling will be added by the singing of Old English carols between staves of the story by members of the Chapel Hill Madrigal club, under the direction of Professor John Toms. , Oldtimers say that you'll have to get there early if you expect to hear "the Proff" giving the shriek of the money changer, or Tiny Tim's '"God bless us every II tiiIiiiiti Ii imiiimi mi i iiiiiiiii imwi nun i hi m i' "i r m ffiT- imi ... imitttmmmitwn!!!T "--V ',. -; ' " ' " ; ' .

Proposed Scholastic Rule Rejected At S, L C. Meet Camera Bill In Tie (Special to the Daily Tar Heel) Richmond," Va., Dec. 10 The teeth of the Graham Plan were extracted last night at a meet ing of Southern Conference of ficials in. Richmond. The rule which required ath letes to report .whether or not they are receiving any financial aid from sources other than those upon whom they are na turally dependent 'was stricken . from the conference by-laws. It was because of an infrac tion in this regulation that Ram say Potts, varsity basketball and tennis-star, resigned voluntarily from the University earlier this quarter. . Gone But Not forgotten The late Rule 13, Article 7, Section 1 read: "No student shall represent his university or col lege -in -any athletic contest who receives financial aid from oth exs than those upon whom he is naturally dependent . . . unless the source and character of these gifts or payments shall be ap proved by the faculty committee on the ground that they have not accrued to him primarily because of his athletic ability." The proposal which took the teeth out of this regulation by not requiring an athlete to testi fy that he is abiding by the let ter of the law was made by Vir ginia Polytechnic Institute. Motion Rejected The conference rejected the VPI motion that would require athletes to pass all their scholas tic work during the preceding quarter in order to be eligible to . participate in athletics. The re jected motion also included a clause which would require ath letes to pass 24 semester hours or 36 quarter hours, as the case may be, the quarter preceding his participation.
