Henry Ford, often at odds with the President and his administration, agreed today to confer with the chief executive on the acute phases of the present re cession. Ford, at Sudbury, Mass., where he is visiting, said that "of course" he would discuss business with President Roosevelt. ;. It was the Detroit manufacturer who, in the days of the NRA, refused to sign the automobile code. He will have lunch with the President next Wednesday, probably served in the privacy of. Roosevelt's private office in the White House. The President's, invitation to Ford said that he was asked to bring his son, Edsel Ford, now active head of the Ford Manufacturing company, and W. J. Cameron, the corporation's public relations director. Cameron himself has been espe cially critical of the Roosevelt admin istration. He has objected strenuously regularly to government policies in talks on the Ford radio program every week. ATTACK ON MADRID DEFENSE RENEWED BY INSURGENTS Hendaye, France (On Spanish Bor der), April 21. Generalissimo Fran cisco Franco's battalions, striking with sudden force, gained additional ground in the suburbs of Madrid to day. Rebel troops drove back government lines in the western outskirts of the city. Reports indicated that the insur gents central front, long idle and held at bay by the defenders, had again resumed its aggressive attitude to drive the government troops back, The attack came after government General Jose Miaja had withdrawn his veteran troops from the Madrid front to meet a new rebel attack on Catalonia. The remaining government troops covered this action with a stronger defensive in an attempt to make reb els believe that they were as strong as ever. In north Catalonia today, rebel air men bombed railways, towns, and troop concentrations in an effort to cut off all government territory from the French border. French and Spanish authorities gathered first aid workers from both sides of the border but Spanish iron tier guards refused to allow civilians to cross over into France. Many French physicians were permitted to cross the border to aid the wounded. BUND LEADERS DEMAND PROBE INTO CONGRESSMAN'S ACTIONS New York, April 21. Following a German Bund rally last night in cele bration of Adolf Hitler's 49th birth day, leaders of the German-American organization demanded a congres sional inquiry into the actions of Rep resentative Samuel Dickstein (D., " N. Y.), who has been an active critic of the Bund. The gathering, held last night in Yorkville, Manhattan's German com munity, was attended by some 3,500 Bund members and sympathizers. The message sent to Speaker Bank head was as follows: "We respectfully emphatically re quest immediate investigation to de termine any connection of Represent ative Dickstein with trouble-makers "who attempted to cause riots at this meeting and further request public censure of Representative Dickstein for any remarks inciting to riot he may have made." Seven men, who wore American Legion caps to the meeting, accused uniformed storm troopers of beating them badly enough to warrant hos pital treatment. ; 2 s ' v. i A S ' ' - ' t A i ' , i , , , - J A i y 4 ?

Through the courtesy of the May Frolics dance committee the campus as a whole will have an opportunity to hear the rhythmitized music of Kay Kyser's popular orchestra and his noted entertainers in a Memorial hall concert Saturday afternoon from 4:30 to 5:30. The nationally known band leader who is playing here this week-end for May Frolics, is considered by many as a better concert entertainer than he is as a dance maestro. In the lat ter field he is rated by college audi ences as only second to Hal Kemp. Kyser's orchestra is noted for the first class vocalists and other enter tainers with it, just as Kay is noted for being one of the craziest, most fun-loving orchestra leader of the day. Not since the days when he was cheerleader at the University here has Kyser grown out of his love for a practical joke. Latest and most fa mous was the prank he played on Hal Kemp in a Pittsburgh theater. Kemp was giving his first perform ance of a week's run. When the cur tain went up Kyser and his whole band were sitting in the first row reading newspapers. Between the crunching of peanuts and low mum bling and grumbling the Kyser or ganization had Kemp and his men in a panic. They thought their ability to hold an audience had been lost. When the lights were turned up at the first intermission, Kemp discov ered who it was, took it all like a good sport and introduced Kay and Ik boys to;,the audience. Set Will Begin With Tea Dance This Afternoon To the rhythm of Kay Kyser's or chestra May Frolics, the social festi val of Carolina's spring season, will open this afternoon with a tea dance in the Tin Can from 4:30 to 6 o'clock. Tonight the tea dance will be fol lowed bya formal prom from 9 to 1 I o'clock, and another tomorrow night. There will be no tea dance tomorrow as the Frolics committee has ar ranged for Kyser's orchestra to play for a concert in Memorial hall. The May Frolics set is being given this year by seven fraternities, which will be represented by the following sponsors and members: Miss Marjorie Stewart of Daytona Beach with Connor iimster, Sigma Chi and president of the May Frolics committee; Miss Molly Lewis, St. Augustine, with Bill Hollingsworth, vice-president and Sigma Nu; Miss Margaret Jamieson, Oxford, with Bob Ray, secretary-treasurer and Zeta Psi; Miss Eleanor Davis, Melbourne, Fla., with Jim Richards, assistant secretary-treasurer and Beta Theta Pi; Miss Julia Paschall, Wilson, with Clark Rodman, DKE ; Miss Molly Al britton, Hopkinsville, Ky., with Mar vin Allen, Kappa Sigma ; and Miss Betty Northcross, of Smithfield, with Tom Myers, SAE. An additional feature of the week end will be several private parties given bye the fraternities sponsoring the dances, ' PRESS GROUPS TO MEET HERE APRIL 29JJ0 Large Conference Is Expected As Results Of Union The union of the North Carolina High School Press conference and the North Carolina Scholastic Press In stitute was announced yesterday by David Stick, in charge of the Daily Tar Heel sponsored NCSPI. : The high school press conference, sponsored by the Needham Broughton high school of Raleigh, originally was scheduled for May 14. The Daily Tar Heel institute had been announced for April 29 and 30. Delegates Here Delegates to the two conferences, however, will meet in Chapel Hill as one convention on the scholastic press institute date. Stick yesterday went to Raleigh and conferred with officials of the Raleigh press meeting. He convinced them of the better facilities and equipment for such a meeting in Chapel Hill. Additions As a result the roster of the NCSPI conference will be swollen by addi tional delegates from the NCHSPC. The Raleigh meeting was scheduled to be a one day affair, with represen tatives from only a few of the larger North Carolina high schools in at tendance. On the other hand plans for the NCSPI called for a two day meet ing with delegates from high schools all over the state. The NCHSPC was conceived only a iveek ago, and con sequently the Needham Broughton group had done little in the way of planning. . Their main accomplishment had been in getting the full support of the two Raleigh newspapers, both in regards to giving publicity and sup plying speakers. Less than a half dozen high schools had been con. tacted. First Meeting In the fall of 1936 the first meeting of the institute was held here under the auspices of the Daily Tar Heel. Forty-five high school students repre senting 14 North Carolina high schools attended that meeting which was di rected by Stuart Rabb. Plans for the second meeting have been progressing rapidly. Almost 80 high schools have been issued invi tations, and already 25 have expressed the intention of coming to the meet ing. Considerable local cooperation has made it possible to include a dance and a banquet, on the program. Cam- Ipus organizations are helping also in securing rooms and in arranging for an extensive tour of the campus. Friday will be devoted mainly to getting acquainted with the campus and with fellow delegates. Saturday will be turned over to business ses- Retiring President - fin -x 9 Stick Is Still Member Of Next Year's Council 9S6 Votes Are Cast As Election Precedent Is Upheld In Majority Tie Bill Robertson, retiring president of the Interdormitory council, also will be succeeded by either Charles Wales or Thomas Fry, nominees for the office. INAUGURATION PLANS REVEALED BY BOB MAGILL Annual Ceremony Is Set For Next Tuesday Night By William Snider -Bob Magill, president of the stu dent council, revealed preliminary plans for the inauguration of the re--cently elected campus wide officers at a meeting of the interdormitory coun cil last night in Graham Memorial. Stating that the student council had set next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock as the time for the annual ceremony, Magill urged interdormitory council members to give their cooperation by arousing interest in the event and helping to secure a large attendance from the dormitories. As a further incentive, Magill said that E. C. Smith of the Carolina theater had agreed to award free movie tickets to the dormitory or fraternity having the greatest number of members pres ent Tuesday night. The tickets will be given on a proportional basis and only to those members of the win ning group actually present at the inauguration. Judge Parker If present plans materialize the in auguration ceremonies will be held outside under Davie Poplar where lights will be strung up and a loud speaker system installed. Negotia tions are under way to secure Judge Morris Rosenberg was swept into the office of junior representative to the Publications Union board yester day as an unexpected avalanche of votes gave him a 586 to 382 triumph over George McDuffie in a run-off from the recent campus vote. Election of two candidates who had gained slight majorities in the first ballot was also reaffirmed in a re-count by the student council. The re-check of ballots insured Tim Elliott as next year's senior representative to the PU board, and David Stick a3 a member of next year's sophomore honor council. Interest Campus interest centered in the Rosenberg-McDuffie struggle, re quested after neither candidate gained a majority in the three-way race for the post in the general campus elec tions. Rosenberg, University party aspirant, received 675 votes in that ballot to 660 for McDuffie, independ ent, and 474 for Bert Premo, Student party. Elliot (SP) led John Clark (UP) by six votes in the primary election and Stick led Billy Hand by three votes. Yesterday's re-count reaf firmed the first ballot. Precedent The election yesterday upheld a long precedent in University politics. Candidates with small pluralities but not a majority in the first election have had an unwavering tendency to increase their lead in the second vote. Latest example besides yesterday's is the famed 1933 election, when pres idency of the student body and editor ship of the Carolina Magazine were settled by a second election. - Leading candidates in the first vote came through easily in the run-off. Rosenberg is at present the only sophomore news editor on the Daily Tar Heel. He has previously served as reporter, deskman, and night sports editor. He and Elliot will act with Tom Stanback, representative-at-large, as student members of the PU board.
