Chamberlain Gets Slim Margin
In Confidence Vote, 281-200
Holland Prepares
To Resist Invasion
(By United Press)
LONDON, May 8 Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain tonight escaped
overthrow by a slim margin of 81
votes when Winston Churchill rallied
to his defense and accepted "fullest
responsiDMty ' along wun oxner mem
ber? r.f the cabinet for the Allied de
feat in Norway.
Cries of "Resign!" filled the great
House of Commons when it was an
nounced that Chamberlain and his cabi
net had survived a two-day devastat
ing debate.
Three leading morning newspapers
in their first edition, out late tonight,
predicted that Chamberlain will resign
as a result of the slim majority and
mentioned Foreign Secretary Viscount
Halifax as a possible successor.
The vote on a Laborite motion for
adjournment was 281-200 and ac
tually reveals that the prime minister
had failed to carry a majority of
House of Commons members with
him.
The sensation of the debate was an
admission by Churchill that Germany's
air superiority will continue for some
time to come and will greatly hamper
movement of Allied forces.
Chamberlain, realizing the narrow
ness cf his escape, is expected to re
shuffle his cabinet and may ask the
opposition to take cabinet posts but
the Laborites are almost certain to
refuse.
There was a widespread feeling that
Chamberlain, his prestige all but shat
tered, cannot last more than six or
seven weeks in office.
There are 615 members of the House
of Commons, 374 conservatives, and
the vi te revealed the extent of oppo
sition to 71-year-old prime minister
amon? government "rebels."
AMSTERDAM Holland's land, sea,
a&d air forces were prepared to resist
aay invasion despite new assurances
from European belligerents that the
nation was in no immediate danger.
A check of the provinces showed all
quiet and both Berlin and Paris
sPokesmtn could be positive that their
"rces could be no threat at present to
tte lew country.
The country was still somewhat
nervous as a result of certain military

New Men to Appear
In Annual Parade
University ' students, townspeople
and various other individuals who
might be loitering in the streets at
the time, will get their annual round
of abdominal guffaws this afternoon
when the 13 new men to be taken

tumes which range from the ridicul

court in front of Women's dormitory
No. 3. They have been previously
notified of the costumes they are to

Musical Comedy Comes Back
'One More Spring' Will Bring
Br Adrian Spies
Playing last night at Memorial hall
to what was probably the most recep
tive audience in Carolina stage history,
Carroll McGaughey's "One More
Spring" established the "Sound and
Fury" group as a regular Carolina en
tertainment feature.
The musical comedy, chiefly fea
tured by a group of unusually catchy
songs by Messrs. Page, Byrd, and
Stein, the very talented Virginia
Worth and a spirit of stage informal
ity which has been so sadly lacking
in. local theatrics, was established as
an audience hit from the first few
seconds when Jane Rumsey sparkled
an appeal that reached even the frigid
last seats of mute Memorial hall. With
lapses that came from a script which
Comedy Director
&
Carroll McGaughey is director of
the "Sound and Fury" musical com
edy "One More Spring," which
opened last night in Memorial hall.
The production will be presented
again tonight at 8 o'clock. Tickets
for reserved seats are still avail
able at Memorial hall and at Led-better-Pickard.
LETTERMEN LIST
1941 OBJECTIVES :
Club Aims to Take
Lead on Campus
Raising the Monogram club from
dormancy to a position as one of the
leading campus organizations is the
aim of the lettermen in 1940-41 as ex
plained in the program announced
yesterday by Sid Sadoff, president,
and the executive committee.
The Monogram men will attempt a
program of promotion and education
in the state as well as on the campus,
creatine good-will toward the club.
First of six aims is the promotion of
a better spirit at athletic contests. The
lettermen intend to stop hissing and
booing, and whistling at coeds and
other women.
. The club wilF-. sponsor entertain
ments with stage productions such as
"Football Follies" here 'and in the
state, where well-known Carolina ath
letes will speak at high school affairs
and Monogram club banquets. A 15-
minute radio program, to be trans
mitted through the campus studio, is
also desired. A man-on-the-street pro
gram would be used on the radio.

The revival of monogram alumni
spirit is hoped for, and the club plans

dose of the risque the show moved
swiftly and brightly through a series
of heavy satire scenes that displayed
that side of college life that most of
us dreamed about in high school and
are still trying to find,. We should be
indebted to the ladies and gentlemen
of the group for at last finding us a
very pleasant part of it in their show.

A motion to change the Daily Tar

change was to give the business de

Dorm Advisership
Applications Due
Tomorrow will be the last day
that rising juniors and seniors and
graduate students may apply at
the dean of students' office for the
several remaining dormitory ad
viserships available. This year's
advisers who wish to renew their
applications must also do so by to
morrow. Many More

this was the weakest part of the show,

part.
The songs, already cited with a sin

raised "One More Spring" above the
usual college comedy class. Several of
them, especially "My Heart Has Told

DTH to Run Stories
On Investigation
Of Un-Americanism
Following the recent proposal
of the Dies committee to investi
gate the University for mi-Americanism,
the . Charlotte News has
done a" little investigating of its
own here. t Beginning yesterday
afternoon a series of five articles
on the subject, "Is There a Red
Menace at Chapel Hill?" will ap
pear in that paper by Staff Writer
T. M. Pridgen, reporter for the
News.
The Daily Tar Heel has made
arrangements to reprint these ar
ticles, and the first story will ap
pear in tomorrow's paper. Since
Charlotte is the home of David
Clark, alleged instigator of the
Dies investigation, the articles
shoald have special interest here.
Coeds To Play
When Juniors
Meet Seniors
For the first time in Carolina's his
tory two romper-clad baseball nines
will fight it out on the diamond as
coeds of the junior class engage se
nior class girls in a Softball game
to end all softball games, preceding
a boys' game slated for 4 o'clock next
Tuesday.
The announcement was made yes
terday by Gates Kimball, junior class
president, climaxing a week of chal
lenges and counter-challenges in re
gard to gridiron battlefields. Benny
Hunter recently dared the junior
class to attempt a softball game with
seniors. Hefty Gates Kimball pro
ceeded to go him one better by includ-
ingcoeds in Abner Doubleday's form
of warfare.
Noting that "our juniors are anxious
to get a last opportunity to swing
at seniors," Kimball urges that
senior coeds group together to defeat
his lassies.
