GREAT BRITAIN AND ITALY SIGN FRIENDSHIP PACT Rome, April 16. An end to the fre quently expressed British-Italian dif ferences was seen today at the sign ing of new friendship pact designed to foster good relations between the two countries. The pact included speedy recogni tion of Italian priority in Ethiopia, withdrawal of Italian troops from Spain's battlefields, and a mutual re spect for each other's rights in the .Mediterranean. The accord was signed by the earl of Perth, the British ambassador, and Mussolini's No. 1 "yes man," Count Baleazzo Ciano. Hanging fire is the proposed Franco-Italian agreement of similar nature. If this pact is signed, hope may be seen for future stabilization of relations in Europe with Italy, Germany, France, and Great Britain working together. Straining of British-Italian rela tions began in November, 1935, when sanctions on Italy were backed by Rritnin in an attemnt to hinder Italy's conquest of Ethiopia. PACIFISTS ATTEMPT TO LIMIT BATTLESHIP SIZE Washington, April 16. Attacks on the administration's "big navy" bill "were concentrated on the proposed building of three beyond-treaty-limit 45,000-ton super battleships. Conceding passage of the measure, -Senator Nye, (R., N. D.) stated, "If we can't defeat the bill, we may at least be able to stop the building of more battleships." The measure, due for debate on the senate f loor; Tuesday, would author ize building of the three battleships, two airplane carriers, nine cruisers 23 destroyers and nine submarines. INSURGENTS GAIN SEA AND BEGIN PUSH TO NORTH Hendaye, France, (on the Spanish border), April 16. Following a deter mined push to the Mediterranean, in surgent troops began a spirited north ward attack toward Tortosa, now held government forces. A strip of seacoast approximately 25 miles long is now in rebel hands. Vinaroz, one of the captured coastai towns, was visited and bombarded immediately after rebel troops had taken it over. Reports reaching the border early today said Gen. Migues Aranda's troops, made up of Italians and Span lsh, had driven to within less than a ile of San Carlos de la Rapita. CHINESE MAKE GAINS IN ATTACK ON JAP STRONGHOLD Shanghai, April 16. Confident Chinese troops renewed their three sided attack on Yihsien in Shantung Province, now occupied by Japanese, striving to repeat the victory tasted at Taierhchwang 20 miles to the south. Commanders of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's infantry declared today that fall of the city seemed cer- iain as all communication had been ut off. Other sources pointed out that JaPanese had met with severe reverses at Wuyu in TTInncsn tirovince where he infantry vanguard had been cut w KAY KYSER TO GIVE CONCERT NEXT SATURDAY Band Will Play In Memorial Hall In Afternoon Due to the demand created by Kay Kyser's popularity on the campus the May Frolics committee has made ar rangements .for the nationally known orchestra to play at a concert in MV morial hall ' Satur day afternoon. Ad mission will be 35 cents. With , such f ea tured performers as glamourous Vir ginia Sims, mirth provoking "Ish Ka bibble" ' and I the .Kay Kyser Kay Kyser" Glee club, in addition ; to Kyser's varied repertoire of selections, the concert should be one of the most entertain ing attractions of the spring quarter. Well grounded in the fundamentals of music, Miss Sims is capable of ren dering everything from sentimental ballads to "catchy" or "hot" tunes. "Ish Kabibble" The old favorite, "Ish Kabibble," which tantalized the musical palates of a preceding generation, has been restored to amazing popularity by the inimitable style in which Merwyn Bogue presents it. "Ish Kabibble, I should worry, and life goes on!" While onlookers shake with hilarity Bogue stands alone and wonders at the "futility of it all." Babbitt And Mason Other favorite entertainers which have become nationally known with Kyser's orchestra on the Elgin Revue hour over the radio, and lately over the Lucky Strike programs, include Harry Babbitt and Sully Mason. Since that Carolina Finals week end when Kyser decided not to put up his legal shingle but went to work with the purpose of establishing one of the best dance orchestras in the country, his orchestra has annually improved. With each return engagement Caro lina frolickers have found the same popular fun-loving Kyser of the days when he was head cheerleader at Carolina. But Carolina audiences have never grown tired of hearing Kyser's orchestra, because he always manages to have something new and something different to renew the in terest of his old admirers. Service Postponed The YWCA installation serv ice originally planned for tomor row night in the Presbyterian church has been postponed. Norman Cordon Has Sung In Many American Operas - Physical Exams Will Be Given Again This Week All Students Who Want To Go Swimming This Year Urged To Take Tests Physical examinations for those students who have not yet had them this past week for their swimming privilege cards will .be given Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 2-5 o'clock in room 215 of the New Gym. : ;: All students who want to go swimming this year are urged to take their examinations by Thursday, if they have not yet done so. r -, Seidman To Give Lecture Wednesday The League for Industrial!

It stands out on the campus now as a ghost building, appearing very old and tired of it all. Even the recent use of Bynum, for dances, will be discontinued as officials have said the new gym can be used for social as "well as athletic events. Bynum Gymnasium a campus spectre. .. . Band Returns From Tour Around State University Music Group Concludes Successful North Carolina Trip The University band has returned to the Hill after a tour of western cities of North Carolina. Before the members had made their first appearance in Reynolds High in Winston-Salem last Tuesday, one of the cars was apprehended for speed ing in the suburbs of the city. The influence of the business manager, Norman Stockton, reduced a fine that would have been about $16.50 to $3.50, Just An Echo After a concert at South High school, also in Winston-Salem, they went to Spencer. The echo of each measure from the end of the audito rium, although trying to the band, in no way affected the appreciative au dience. In Charlotte L. R. Sides, former di rector of the band, gave a 15-minute impromptu speech in praise of the band before the students of Central high school. WBT Broadcast The half-hour broadcast over sta tion WBT was reported to be "as good as the Army, Navy or Marine band." The members were given a return in vitation. Few bands in the state have been permitted to broadcast over WBT. After two concerts at the Alexan der Graham high school, they arrived (Continued on last page) Singer's Ambition Was To Play Saxophone During His School Days Here American-trained Norman Cordon of the Metropolitan Opera, who sings here Tuesday night on the student entertainment series, has won an en viable position among this country's younger generation of serious vocal ists. He has not only sung with the Metropolitan for several seasons, but has been featured with all the im portant opera companies of America. Student Here However, when Cordon was a stu dent here, no one least of all Cordon would have foretold that he would be sucfcessf ul in the classical music field. In those days his ambition was to play a saxophone in the orchestra of his classmate, Hal Kemp, who at that time was working his way through the University waving a wicked baton over a group of jazz minded students. Sang In Glee Club Cordon did not "make" Kemp's band, but he played with him in a saxophone quartet. He also sang in the glee club and became increasingly music-minded. After graduation he continued to study music at the Nashville Conser vatory. Later he became a member of the Merrieman Quartet, singing pop ular music over the radio from Chi cago, Cincinnati and Nashville. He (Continued on page two) ..

To Have Or Not To Have A Birthday Papers Celebrate One Oc casion But Horace Wil liams Awaits Another Contrary to the Chapel Hill Weekly and the Daily Tar... Heel, Horace Williams did not celebrate his birthday yesterday. It all started on April 16 some five years ago when Dean F. F. Bradshaw invited prominent alumni from all sections of the state to a surprise party for Dr. Williams. The renowned philos opher knew nothing of the party until he was presented to the guests, and then he could think of no reason for a party in his honor. Speeches were made honoring him and honoring the day he was born. Finally Dr. Williams was asked to speak. Calmly he remarked that he did not wish to disappoint them, but that his birthday was August 16, not April 16. Explanations uncovered the fact that the "Alumni History" had a typographical error "Aug. 16." But somehow the confusion of dates still exists. i nr'TioriXi ill Rules For Art, Photography, Contest Issued Second Annual Exhibition Of Student's Work To Be Held May 21-June 8 The rules and regulations for the art and photography contest which is being held in preparation for the sec ond annual exhibition of students' work in the Person Hall art gallery from May 21 through June 8 have been published.

FOX IS ELECTED NEW HEAD OF PHARMACY BODY Political Group Defeats Favored Kappa Psi Party- Poiiticai machinery yesterday de feated the favored Kappa Psi party in the school of Pharmacy elections, when James IL Fox, candidate spon sored by the Mortar and Pestle par-, tyf was elected as president of the Pharmacy school student body.
