PRESIDENT URGES CONGRESS
TO RETAIN PROFITS TAX
Washington, April 13. President
Roosevelt, in a letter to the senate
finance and house ways and means
committee, today urged the adoption
of the principle of the bitterly-con
tested undistributed profits tax,
meanwhile meeting strong opposition
from the first named group.
Part of the letter said: "The re
peal of the undistributed profits tax
and the reduction of the tax on other
forms of income strike at the root of
fundamental principles of taxation.
Business will be helped, not hurt, by
these suggestions."
He attacked parts of the senate tax
measure which would cut out the un
distributed profits tax opposed by
business and put in its place a simple
capital gains tax for the graduated
system now used.

OFFICIAL WORKING ON
NEW RELIEF PROGRAM
Washington, April 13. A new re
lief allotment seemed certain today
as high officials worked at full speed
to complete a new recovery and relief
program.
Apparently agreed upon by eco
nomic advisers and the President at
a long night conference at the White
House although no details were dis
closed, it was indicated that there
would probably be a proposal to turn
loose $1,500,000,000 on public projects
as a means of stabilizing business and
industry.
Added to this sum, a $1,250,000,000
relief appropriation to be used in car
Tying the Works Progress administra
tion's load from July 1 to February
1, 1939.
Both measures are expected to be
included in a presidential message to
congress tomorrow noon and a 45
minute "fireside" chat tomorrow
night.

Forest Theater
Production For
1938 Chosen
Merry Wives Of Windsor'
Wm Be Staged This Spring;
Tryouts April 25 -
A return to Shakespeare will be
staged in the annual Forest theater
production this spring with the
Merry Wives of Windsor" as the
choice.
There being no opportunity to hold
preliminary try-outs as originally
planned, Professor Koch has placed
on reserve in the library six copies
of the acting version of the play. All
of those desiring to try out are urged
to read the play before the formal
try-outs, on April 25, that they may'
familiarize themselves with the verse
as well as the plot of the play.
"Hamlet" was- the4ast- Shake
spearean piece to be staged in the
Forest theater in the spring of 1935
with "Prof f " Koch, himself, in the
leading role. He will direct this year's
production, however, as is his custom.
Almost all of Shakespeare's come
dies have been produced in the Forest
theater since the inauguration of that
annual event. "Merry Wives" has been
produced with great success in late
years by Thomas Wood Stevens at
his Globe theaters. It may appear on
Broadway this spring.
"Merry Wives" brings to life again
that famous Shakeapearean charac
ter, Falstaff. Instead of leading a
riotous life in the company of Prince
Hal, he makes violent love to the
wives of Windsor.
The present bill of plays now in
rehearsal will be produced on April
20, 21, 22, and 23 as the fifth public
.production of the season. These plays
are the best selected from those writ
ten in the playwriting course through
out the year. They have not ap
peared before as experimentals.

Famous Band Leader And
Ex-Carolinian To Play
For May Frolics
When Kay Kyser goes on tour to
satisfy public appearance demands
he always looks forward to what he
terms "home-coming." Last year it
was Finals. This year it is May
Frolics, April 22, 23.
For in addition to being a member
of the Grail, the Golden Fleece, and
other organizations while he was a
student here, the nationally known
orchestra leader lists among his ante
cedents the founder and first dean of
the pharmacy school of the Univer
sity. Founding
Not only that, but since the found
ing of the University in the latter
part of the 18th century, there has
been some member of the Kyser fam
ily on the faculty. In fact while
Kyser was preparing for his entrance
into the University law school his
older brother was a chemistry pro
fessor and a cousin was dean of the
graduate school.
Kyser was born in Rocky Mount.
He was the first member of his fam
ily to follow the parental avocation
instead of vocation.
Deciding to commercialize on his
music ability until he obtained his
law degree, he organized a dance or
chestra on the campus. Here his abil
ity as an orchestra leader combined
with his popularity, as 'a campus fig
ure, led to his orchestra being the
most successful on the campus.
At graduation Kyser expected to
disband his orchestra and enter the
legal profession. However a canceled
contract by a nationally known or
chestra just before Finals his last
year created a vacancy that had to
be filled. Kyser was asked to play.
He had already disbanded his orches
tra, but called them together again.
"Best"
His engagement was so successful
that Kyser forgot about putting up
his legal shingle and went to work
with the one purpose of making his

McGlinn, Head Of
CPU Last Year, To
Present Speaker
Tonight at 8:30 in Memorial ball
the Carolina Political union will pre-.
sent CIO leader Philip Murray as its
second spring quarter speaker.
John L. Lewis's number one lieu
tenant will be the feature speaker on
a program that will include talks by
the two persons most responsible for
the recent CPU rise to nation-wide
prominence. The union's present
cKairman Alex Heard will act as mas
ter of ceremonies for the occasion,
and last year's CPU head, Fyank
McGlinn, will make his first public
appearance on the campus since grad
uation last June when he introduces
Murray.
Subject
The subject for tonight's speech has
not been released as yet, but it is defi
nitely known that Murray's address
will be concerned with the current
national labor situation. The Steel
Workers Organizing committee chair
man is being presented as the third
in a series of three speakers who have
made CPU addresses on that general
subject during the past few months.
Murray comes here with high rec
ommendations as a representative of
the CIO and as an earnest straight
forward speaker.
Born
Born in Blantyre, Scotland, in
1866, Murray became a naturalized
United States citizen in 1911. Soon
after coming to this country he saved
money from working in the coal
fields and took a correspondence
course in mathematics. Since that
time he has steadily risen as -a labor
leader, so that now, despite popular
belief, it is Murray, and not Lewis,
who does most of the negotiating with
big business men.
In 1920 and again in 1928 Murray
was the miners spokesman at senate
investigations, and in 1930 he drafted
the original Davis-Kelly Coal bill,
which was the forerunner of the Guf-
fey Coal bill.
Settlement
Murray was the man who brought
about a peaceful settlement between
miners and employers in Virginia in
1921. His action at that time was
prompted by a request from President
Harding. He passionately believes in
industrial unionism as the key to per
manent economic security for the
workers, and he says that the goal of
his life is to bring about this union
ism. ; t
According to Murray, William
Green is "playing traitor to labor,"
when he attempts to frustrate the ef
forts of the United Mine Workers to
organize.
Murray is the man to whom the
miners look for a continuation of the
relatively high wage level and the 35
hour week that they have enjoyed
since October, 1935.
Buc Meeting
The editor of the Buccaneer, Caro
lina humor magazine, will meet all
prospective members of his pros
pective staff in Graham Memorial to
night at 7 o'clock.
Speaks Tonight
Philip Murray, CIO leader and
right-hand man to John L. Lewis, who
will make an address here tonight in
Memorial hall at 8:30. Frank Mc
Glinn, former CPU chairman, will in
troduce the speaker.
