THE PLAYERS MEET TOMORROW NIGHT Tryouts Will Begin For'Born Yesterday' Tryouts start tomorrow evening for Born Yesterday,, the stagehand movie hit by Garson Kanin which is to be given local production by a Dunn Little Theatre group, The Players. The tryouts will be held at the home of Mrs. Susan Black, 1200 West Cumberland Street, Dunn, 7:30 p. m. On hand for the tryouts will be a number of young ladies in Dunn and vicinity who want the part of Billie Dawn. It was in the role of Billie Dawn, the beautiful-but dumb blonde who wises up to wick edness, that Judy Holliday became famous. Another starring part is the role of Brock, power-hungry roughnecc millionaire whose schemes to cor rupt the government are foiled. Tire hero, Paul, a newspaperman, will be less of a problem than the other two major prts, according to direct or-manager Lee Crail. Smith Fined $325. Ennis Felton Smith is going to gamble that Superior Court will let him off lighter than Judge H. Paul Strickland. He appeared before the latter in Dunn Recordr’s Court this morning. judg Strickland fined him $325 altogether, plus the costs of court in two separate actions, and gave him a total of six months in jail but suspended this part of the sentence. Smith who pled not guilty, but tomer tried to calm him and Dil lon slashed them with his raor on the arm and leg. He then took command of the tavern for three hours, forcing the bartender to serve round after round of drinks on the house. Finally, he announced. “I want company. You, you, you, you and out come with me.” His finger stabbed at Mont An derson, a 45-year-old cab driver: Robert Nelson. 37, and his wife Marlon, 35; Riley Menler, 21: and Shirley Naddy, 25. Waving his razor, Dillon herded the five terrified bar patrons Into Anderson's cab. His first stop was at the home of his girl friend. Irene Martinez, who begged him to release the captives. Dillon re plied “It’s too late now, I’m too far gone,” and sped off. For three hours, Dillon drove his SriflhtNMd passengers around the DIFFICULT FOLES “We have several suitable persons who could play Paul,” she said, “but there may be quite a search to find Brock and Billie.” Those who want to try out are invited to come to tomorrow night’s meeting of The Players whether they are familiar with “Bom Yes terday” or not. “A lot of those who want parts will be reading cold, and won’t know the script,” said Mrs. Crail. “We may not even do any final casting tomorrow night, but we (Continued On Page Three) didn’t testify, wasn’t happy. The charges against him were drunk driving and operating a motor ve hicle without a license. By the records, Smith has been convicted once before of drunk driv ing. The other count is also a fami liar one for him. He has been found guilty twice, and two separate counts of “no license" were taken up in court this morning. Smith, who lives on Rt. 5, Dunn, (Continued On Page Six) western outskirts of the city. DENIES ATTACK A few miles east of Warrenville. 111., he ordered Miss Naddy into the front seat beside him and forced her to remove some of her clothing. Andrson took advantage of the switch to ump from the car and escape. Dillon let Nelson out after driv ing two more miles and then or dered Menier to remove Mrs. Nel son's clothing. He became enraged when Menfer refused and told them both to get out of the taxi cab. Miss Nadd was kept captive for several hours more, during which time she said Dillon attacked her. Dillon denied it, but admitted the other details of the multiple ab duction, police said. She was fin ally released on the fringe of the city, a short time before Dillon’s capture. DUNN, N. C., MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1055 Nixon Figures In Capitol Speculation WASHINGTON (IP) Po litical gossip is the fodder upon which Washington de lights to feed. The month ot November turned up some juicy snacks, mostly involv ing Vice President Richard M. Nixon. There was the Veterans Day whisper which had friends of Nix on a bit worried. It related that President Eisenhower had been persuaded to ease off on his pub lic applause of his young vice presidential friend. Some gesture of White House coolness toward Nixon was recom mended. And, as the whisper went, it was decided to ask former Pres ident Hoover instead of Nixon to represent Mr. Eisenhower on Nov. 11 at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. That whisper made the dinner table circuit, a-building as it w r ent It was a phony, however. Nixon ac tually narticipated in the discus sion leading to the eminently prop er selection of the only living Re ni’bl’earv pycoresident to represent ’he Penublican now in the White Ho”se.

The petition would put the question of a better » library for Dunn before the voters. Following is the first of a series of articles, ex ploring the need for increasing Dunn’s library facili ties. In succeeding issues, the manner in which other towns have built fine libraries, and stocked them, and a financially feasible method by which Dunn could do the same will be advanced. Reader comment is invited. There is a copy of The Caine Mutiny, a battered one, in Dunn’s city library. There is also a copy of the Kinsey Report, the one on men, though Mrs. Lee Whitehead, the libra rian, tells us she usually keeps it in a closet. “Not much call for it in Dunn,” she says, “so I don’t give it shelf space.” SHELF SPACE A PROBLEM Shelf space is one of the problems. So is the lack of a good many titles, quite as famous as The Caine Mutiny and the Kinsey Report and very possibly of even greater importance. Where is Dr. Sprock, for instance?

Sampson County Coroner Cole man Carter gave this version of the mishap: Young Baas was using the rear end of the shotgun, which had the stock removed, to probe a rabbit hole near a stream in the area. The barrel was pointed into his stomach when it accidentally went off. Carter said no inquest would be held. Bass was the son of Leonidas and Sylvia Bass of Dunn, Rt. 2.

The usher was real sweet about it almost stupidly sweet. She came up as dreamy-eyed as she went down.

Authoritative sources said today the administration is “actively con sidering” a major change in farm policy. The change would limit the amount of price support payments to any one farmer, informed sources said. This would not af fect. the man running a family-size farm but would deal with the big, commercial farmer. Other farm policy changes under consideration by high administra tion officials involve bushel and pound limits on marketing of some surplus-produced crops, and sale of surplus cotton abroad at competi tive prices. A ceiling on support payments would be aimed at curtaining com mercial production of surplus crops. The changes presumably would be tied in with a soil fertility bank plan now under consideration by the National Agricultural Advisory Commission. This would involve the retirement of surplus farm land icanthraed On Png* Six) ' «DBN COMING GETTYSBURG, Pa.
