MANAGER INSISTS
STUDENTS MUST
HAVECITYTAGS
Other Sources Indicate That
Only Bona Fide Village Resi
dents Must Own Licenses.
SALE CONTINUES BRISKLY
The question of the purchase
of city license tags by students
in Chapel Hill became the target
of controversial opinions here
yesterday. . .
City Manager J. L. Caldwell
stuck by his guns in declaring
that "all students living ' in
Chapel Hill and operating cars
on the streets must purchase
tags." He stated that students
living on taxable property in the
city should share the cost of
street construction ' with bona
fide residents. " ; .
"Protective Measure"
Caldwell stated that purchase
of tags was also a "protective
measure." Previously, the city
manager had said that all stu
dents living within the corporate
limits of Chapel Hill except
those living in dormitories must
get the $1 tags.
This will include students liv
ing in fraternity houses, board
ing houses, and in all other
places except on land owned by
the University.
Meanwhile, from reliable
down-town sources came inti
mations that no student would
be required to purchase tags ex
cept those who are bona fide
residents of Chapel Hill. This
excludes all students who de
clare their residences elsewhere.
The enigma will be solved
Tuesday morning at the session
of recorder's court when those
charged with driving without
tags will be given hearings.
Meanwhile, the sale of tags con
tinues briskly.
Through a misunderstanding
yesterday, sale of tags to those
cited to recorder's court was
suspended. It was soon cor
rected, however, and tags are
now available to all car owners
here, regardless of their previous
acquaintance with "John Law."

Legalization of Whiskey
Discussed in House
Change in Form of CaDital
m
Punishment Proposed.
Raleigh, Jan. 17. -(UP)
While the Senate took things
easy today; the House ran
through the discussion of two
bills, both packed with con
troversy and potentialities. -
The first bill, a measure to re
turn : legal whiskey within the
state, was introduced by- Repre
sentative ; Day of Onslow. It
calls for a referendum of the
Turlington Act on July 8 of this
year. " "
The other measure provided
that hanging be substituted for
electrocution as a means of dis
posing citizens convicted of cap
ital crimes. This bill was intro
duced by Representative Dees
of Pamlico. It also calls for
such executions to be held before
a minimum of 18 and a maxi
mum of 36 witnesses.
Both measures were referred
to committees.
Spicy Love Affair
Furnishes Comedy
For Coward's Play
"The Young Idea" Presents Caus
tic Wit of English Society.
Noel Coward's "The Young
Idea," which will be presented
by the Playmakers January 31,
February 1 and 2, tears and
races from scene to scene in the
usual sophisticated vein of its
author.
Following the sensational
"R.U.R." and the enigmatic
Shroud My Body Down," the
new Coward play and its brittle
dialogue promise a lighter enter
tainment for Playmaker audi
ences.
Nicely Naughty
From the moment the proper
English butler ushers the first
villain into the drawing room of
George Brent's home in England,
the play is distinctly one con
cerned with 'the naughty but
nice persons of certain English
society.
"The Young Idea" is as spicy
as any good triangle affair and
as important as any idea con
ceived by the fourteen men and
women whose caustic wit keep
it moving.
Cicely (Frances McGraw), the
naughty second wife of George
Brent (Philip Parker), and Rod
dy (David McCachren), a nice,
unattached young man in love
with her, form a plot which con
cerns itself with what Mr. Brent
will do about it.
While the friends and neigh
bors are having a good time gos
siping, George welcomes the ar
rival of his son and daughter
(Ellen Deppe and Charles Lloyd)
from the first wife's villa in
Italy. The impish pair leave no
stone unturned, no melodrama
untouched, no parlor talk, unin
terrupted, and no pertinent
'statement left unsaid. Where
there were na ideas they encour
age some, and iJ one idea goes
badly, they invent another.
Coward's last play to be pro
duced by the Playmakers was
''Hay Fever," which was pre
sented last winter also under
the direction of Harry Davis.

BERNARD SPEAKS
ON LIFE OF LEE
Freshmen Hear Two Incidents
From Career of Outstanding
Southern General.'
General Robert E. Lee, the
Patriot" was discussed in fresh
nian chapel yesterday morning
by Dr. W. S. Bernard of the
Greek department.
- Dr. Bernard described two in
cidents of the southern General's
life since he "did not have near
enough time to give a resume of
this great man's entire life."
30 Years Service
Born of a very outstanding
Virginia .-family; Lee was edu
cated at West Point, and served
with distinction in the United
States army for 30 years, Dr.
Bernard told. ..- . ..
The day before the fateful
hour" when Viririnia seceded
from the Union, Lee was offered
the command of the Federal
army," he said. "Immediately
he wenE to his friend, General
Scott, and said, T could not lead
an army against my state and
my people'."
The next morning, after a
sleepless night, Lee told his wife,
"T4. j ; j i t : a
ii i utxmcu. x u going iu
hand in the resignation of my
commission to General Scott"
Virginia then asked Lee to com
mand her army against the
Union.
Lee had been a soldier for 30
years, flooded with fame and dis
tinction. This would have been
the crowning glory of his life's
ambition," Dr. Bernard said.
"It probably had more effect up
on the hstory of this country
than any other event," he con
tinued. .
Guerilla War
' "The day before Appomattox,
Lee had 16,000 ragged soldiers,
without ammunition. Grant
with the Union forces had 150,
000 men. Davis had fled to
Greensboro where he issued the
statement that the war had en
tered a new phase. From now
on the south would Wage a gue

Artists Hail Portrait By Unknown
Brush As University's Best Picture
. o
Ancestor of Louis Graves Posed
Librarian Downs; Curious Holes in Canvas Said to Have
Been Made by Inebriates Armed with Canes.
. o- " -'
Praised by two artists, un
noticed by the crowd, a genuine
work of art hangs in the Uni
versity library. Prince Trou
betzkoy, a famous portrait paint
er, walked into the office of R. B.
Downs, University librarian,
about 18 months ago and . was
instantly attracted to the large,
square portrait there. It was,
he. said,-the best picture in the
possession of the University.
Not long afterward a similar
incident occurred when William
Steene, artist, of Chapel Hill
and New York, first saw the por
trait. , Both , Troubetzkoy and
Steene agreed that the painting
far excelled any other ; at the
University in richness and en
durance of color, in naturalness
of pose, and especially in the
fashioning of the hands and
face of the subject.
..What of the picture which
had thus been stamped with the '
approval of two, famous artists?
The subject, is a, great uncle
of Louis Graves, editor of the
Chapel , Hill Weekly, v who was
studying art in Paris in the year
1845. Graves is dressed in what
might have been the typical stu
F. D. R. FORECASTS
STATE ADOPTION
OF AGE SECURITY
Parties Split over Wagner-Lewis
Bill; Roosevelt Confident.
Washington, Jan. 17. (UP)
Quick action by all states to
extend old age and unemploy
ment ienefits under the admin
istration's security program was
forecast tonight by President
Roosevelt.
At the same time, powerful
and disgruntled congressional
forces struck swiftly at certain
provisions, of the Wagner-Lewis
bill which was introduced yes
terday. Party leaders in both
houses admitted the program
faces a long and bitter battle.
F. D. R. Un worried
Defenses were hastily con
structed about the measure as
leaders rushed plans to open
hearing on the issues next week.
Roosevelt appeared unwor
ried. He said in a press confer
ence that he believed that the
most dissatisfaction concerning
the amount of the old age pen
sions was due to a misunder
standing. ,
Chairman Pat Harrison of the
Senate Finance Committee, who
will handle the legislation, con
ferred today with Assistant Sec
retary of Labor Edward F. Mc-
Grady.
Doughton Consulted
McGrady later reviewed the
situation with Chairman Robert
Doughton of the House Ways
and Means Committee. Dough
ton is one of the North Caro
lina representatives in the 54th
Congress. :. t ,: .
The North Carolinian said the
committee will open hearings on
the bill Monday. Senate hear
ings will begin Tuesday.
SENIOR STAFF MEETING
There will be a meeting of the
members of the senior staff of
the Yackety Yack in Graham
Memorial Monday afternoon at
1:30 o'clock. The following men
are requested to be present:
Joe Patterson, Sterling Brown,
Bill Scott, and Ramsay Potts.
. for Portrait Now in "Office of
dent garb of the time : black
frock coat, flowing black tie,
brown vest, and grey trousers.
There are several curiously
shaped holes punched through j
the canvas. And thereby hangs
a tale:
It is said that several drunks
wandered in one night (the por
trait was not then in the pos
session of the University, 'of
course) and upon seeing a
strangely dressed and rather
haughty young man apparently
suspended in midair regarding
them with disapproval, they
charged the apparition with
their canes and punched it full
of holes. " - - ' ' ' '
Scarcely less interesting is the
fact that the identity of the art
ist who painted the picture is
unknown, even to its donors. In
Downs' opinion, the value of the
picture would be greatly in
creased if the name of the artist
could be discovered.
Altogether, the opinion of two
famous artists, the legend of the
drunks, and the unknown artist
tend to enhance the attractive
ness of that seldom noticed por
trait.

Sarg To Present
Marionette Drama
On Faust Tuesday
Show to Be Given in Playmakers
Theatre at 3:30 and 8 P.M.
Three days remain before
Tony Sarg and his world-famous
group of marionettes will arrive
in Chapel Hill to give two per
formances in the Carolina Play
makers theatre.
"Faust, the Wicked Magician
will be presented by Sarg Tues
day at a 3 :30 matinee and at an
8 o'clock evening performance.
His appearance is being spon
sored by the local Parent-Teach
er Association.
The famous theme of Faust
who sells himself to the devil has
been treated in various forms by
past masters. It has . appeared
in the form of poems, operas,
and dramas. The marionettes
of Tony Sarg bring it to us in a
distinctively vivid fashion.
Large Cast
Sarg has arranged for several
scenes where a large cast gives
a "spectacular" performance
with action from soldiers, police,
guards, devils, and the old magi
cian, Faust. Two women, Lelah
and Marguerite, make their ad
vent into the life and along with
the devil the four have a merry
time. .
Jbuels, red smoke, blue smoke,
pots, pans, and curious formulas
that curiously act all play their
part in the drama of tiny crea
tures under the deft finger-tips
of Tony Sarg and his assistants. )
Sarg last appeared at Carolina
with, his marionette troup in
March, 1925. V k
Admission prices for either
performance are: adults, 50
cents, and children, 25 cents.

Emotional Outburst.
Flemington, Jan. 17. (UP)
After her husband's emotion
al outbreak yesterday, it became
Mrs. Bruno Hauptmann's turn
today to call a witness "liar!"

READ FAVORS CLASS VOTE
"I shall use my power of veto
against the proposed honor
court," Clyde Mullis, president
of the freshman class, told a
Daily Tar Heel reporter yes
terday, as he condemned the ac
tion taken by his executive com
mittee when it delegated to a
freshman honor court the power
of suspension.
"The purpose of the honor
council whfch I appointed is not
to suspend anyone," Mullis said.
"The committee was formed to
further a better understanding
of the system, and with no power
to conduct a court or anything
of the sort. It was conceived
originally to get the ixeshmen
better acquainted with the hon
or system ; to put them in a posi
tion where they feel that they
are a part of it."
"Purely Educational"
Mullis, due to basketball prac
tice, was absent from the meet
ing, but said in connection with
the unauthorized action, "As I
understand it, the court has no
power to suspend any student.
The main purpose as I outlined
it when the committee was
formed was purely educational.
- "The power - which the court
delegated to themselves will
have to be reconsidered, and
based on a program which will
not violate the student govern
ment in any way," Mullis said
as to plans for future action. He
also plans to call a meeting of
the executive committee in the
near
future, and reassign the

PETITIONS MAILED
TO BUSCOfllPANY
Signatures of 1,135 Students and
97 Townspeople Are Affixed ;
Hearing Is Postponed.
Signed by 1,135 students and
97 townspeople, the petitions for
the new Atlantic Greyhound bus
line directly connecting Raleigh
and Greensboro via Chapel Hill
were mailed last night to the
Winston-Salem headquarters of
the bus company, where they
will be prepared for presenta
tion at the hearing of the North
Carolina Public Utilities Com-
mission.
This hearing, scheduled for
Tuesday, has been indefinitely
postponed because of the illness
of one of the members of the
commission, according to Dis
trict Passenger Agent Hightow
er of the bus' company, who-was
in Chapel Hill Thursday.
Hightower Pleased
Hightower appeared . pleased
with the progress that had been
made by the University Club.
' The proposed Greensboro
Chapel Hill-Raleigh line will be
the last link in a Greyhound
chain connecting Winston-Salem
and Wilmington. At present an
other company is in charge of
transportation between Raleigh
and Greensboro, and connections
between busses of this company
and Greyhound busses are not
very good. The new - line will
reduce traveling time consider
ably and will also offer apprer
ciably lower rates.
