German leaders expressed displeasure to day at the attitude taken by Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schu schnigg in his speech to the Austrian parliament. They were concerned because the Austrian leader did not Praise Germany's Hitler, and stated that he must be discarded. In his speech, Schuschnigg de clared that he intended to main tain Austrian independence and remain sovereign from the other German-speaking nation. In a number of interviews last right, prominent Nazi leaders expressed their disapproval of Schuschnigg's stand. Making it very clear that their statements did not necessarily coincide with that of the official government, they said that the Austrian Chancellor had had the oppor tunity to rally to Hitler and be cause he failed to do so must be discarded. They questioned the fact that Schuschnigg had not returned the generous words to Hitler that their Fuehrer found Sun day for him. "We got the police and the ministry of the interior as well 518 large parts of the army (as a result of the conference be ween Hitler and Schuschnigg last week). Austria is ours." The Austrian chancellor, re ding on the Feb. 12 conference JJrth Hitler by which Austrian xas gained political freedom d gained a foothold into the Austrian cabinet, emphasized "nation's determination to re gain sovereign. t JkanwhUe in Vienna, the Aus- rian capital, patriots paraded J Joyous celebration until early iornlng tQ celebrate their chan. eIlor's proclamation. ; Halipax takes over THONY EDEN'S POST T ... , loud naon. f?V OX DoaniP Protests of labor represen- (Continued on last page) ElITbRIAL PHONE 4151 Scoutmaster Slingin' Sam w i .Leaves Of. -V 'Sharecropper' To Be Given Matinee Performance Today s Scandal Comedy To Be Given By Repertory Group Sheridan's "School For Scandal" Will Be Presented On Enter tainment Series Monday One of the most famous char acters of the theater, Lady Tea zle, will once again be found be hind the screen in the wrong man's apartment, Monday night when the Repertory Theater presents their revival of the famous comedy "School for !

This wife, who is from the less fashionable provinces, enters straightway upon a career of spending, and tale bearing. There is Lady Sneerwell, a dean of the school for scandal, devoted to devasting, reputa tions; Mrs. Candour, a lady con secrated to spreading malicious gossip, and Snake, a hired tool of Lady Sneerwell's.

C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1938 aioQ&s J Play To Be Presented For Last Time At 8:30 Tonight Will Begin At 3 It's "Matinee at 3:00" for the Playmakers' fourth public pro duction, "Sharecropper," and a final performance at 8:30 tonight at the Playmakers thea ter. . - This marks the end of the premiere production of a play which is essentially Carolina. Concerning the Eastern North Carolina tobacco fields, "Share cropper" is the creation of Fred Howard, who is from that dis trict. Even as a boy Howard was cognizant of the colorful life around the tenant farms. He learned of the constant struggle between landowner and tenant, and of the sharecropper's usual defeat. "Sharecropper," the story of x a . domineering land owner's attempt to rule his ten ants, comprises the reflections and lessons of its author's youth. Revision This play, the first full length student drama of this year, is a revision of Howard's one-act "New Nigger," written origi nally for a playwriting course here at the University. Enjoy ing considerable success while on tour, it was rewritten into the form desired for a regular Playmaker production. . . ' Greater Scope With "Sharecropper" Howard attempted to achieve a far great er scope for his theme than the confines of Carolina tobacco lands. He has attempted to set forth a colorful illustration of the endless struggle between op posed interests in this case black and white, landowner and tenant. The ultimate rebellion of a few, its drama and tragedy, create the climax. Following Proff Koch's prime requisite to potential play wrights "write about what you know" Howard has given his interpretation about "what he knows."
