Senator Gives Answer to Memorial Hall Dissenters A local audience recently strongly disagreed vith Josiah W. Bailey, se nior senator from North Carolina. when he declared on the rostrum at Memorial hall that child labor had been practically eliminated in the United States. He did not press the point at that time the occasion was the nationwide broadcast of a forum of America's Town Meeting of the Air but yesterday he offered documen tary evidence that President Roose velt, too, has expressed the same be lief. In a letter to Vaughan Winborne, TT ,1. university student ana an acquain tance of the senator, Bailey said: "With reference to my statement that child labor had been practically elim mated in this country, I attach here to three statements from the Presi dent of the United States upon which I founded my statement.

A 11 m J TIT Alien rate, yv nier Ana umc, To Talk In Memorial Tonight On Southern Literary Aspect PMYMAKERSPLAN "NOAff'TRYOUTS THIS AFTERNOON Actors To Present Andre Obey's Play In Forest Theater Tryouts for "Noah," Andre Obey's humorous dramatization of the voy age of Noah and the Ark, will be held in, the Playmaker theater this after noon at 4:30 and 7:30. The drama will be presented sometime in May in the Forest theater and, as is his cus tom, Dr. Frederick H. Koch will direct this annual outdoor performance which draws people from all over the state. - "I believe Andre Obey's Noah is ideally suited for the Forest theatre," Dr. Koch has said. "It offers an ex ceptional opportunity for acting, col orful settings, and costuming. The music and dancing will be features in themselves." UNANIMOUS CHOICE The choice of the play to be pro duced in the Forest theatre is always a difficult one, and it is very rare that the committee which selects the drama to be presented agrees unani- mously on one play. However, "Noah" has received unanimous approval of the board. The humorous informal ity of the story of what might have happened aboard the Ark is suited ad mirably to an out-door theater. : The play requires a large, cast in cluding Noah, Ham, Sham, and Japhet, Mrs. Noah, three orphan girls, towns people and neighbors, and many ani mals who sympathize with Noah in his bad moments. Many a profession al actor boasts of a season playing the hind legs of a horse. Some ac tors insist that they learn more about their art playing animals than from any other roles. So students and citi zens with a flare for the comic or who love animals should try to get a place on the Ark. Business Manager Applications Due All candidates for the business managership of all campus publi cations must have thefir applica tions in by 3 o'clock this afternoon. Selections will be made by the Publications Union board at that hour. J A t 1 English Prof essor Has Been Praised By Time Magazine Allen Tate, Southern writer and critic, will speak in Graham Memorial tonight sponsored by the Carolina Arts group. "Is there a Southern Renais sance in Literature". will be the sub ject of his lecture which will begin at 7:45 in the large lounge. Tate, who has become famous as a poet, essayist and biographer, is now professor of English at the Woman's college in Greensboro. He has contrib uted to nearly all important critical magazines, is the author of eight books and co-author of several others. WORKS He identified himself with the agra rian poets and contributed with other southern writers to the book "I'll Take My Stand The South and the Agra rian Tradition." Among his best known works are "Stonewall Jackson: The Good Soldier" and "Jefferson Da vis: His Rise and Fall." Time magazine in reviewing Tate's "Selected Poems" says "Strict, acute, circuitous, Poet Tate's verses invite their readers to the unveiling of a lit erary brain. Readers, whether North or South, whose minds still re-echo Poet Tate's cold wrath at the thought of the Civil War, will be grateful that the war is over, that Poet Tate is not." CAREER Tate is a Kentuckian and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. His wife Caroline Gordon is a novelist. Tate has written only one novel "The I Fathers." He received his B.A. at Van- derbilt in 1922 magna cum laude and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Of his own poetry he writes in the preface to "Selected Poetry," "As a poet, I have never had any experience . . . as a poet, my concern is the ex perience that I hope the reader will have in reading the poem." Gordan To'Speak At Bull's Head Tea Carolina Gordan, wife of Allen Tate and a novelist in her own right, will speak at the Bull's Head tea this afternoon at 4:15. She will prob ably discuss historical novels, i subject in which she is very interest ed, herself being the author of a novel of the Civil War, "None Shall Look Back."

STUDENT COUNCIL MAINTAINS USUAL SECRET POLICY One of Defendants Will Appeal Case To Faculty Group In an effort to clear up rumors cir culating on the campus yesterday con cerning action taken at a Student coun cil meeting Monday night, the council last night officially announced that one senior and . one . freshman were sus pended for "indefinite" periods on charges of violation of the campus code and the honor system, and that six. more students have been put on probation for violation of the campus code. Although it could not be officially substantiated because of the council's usual policy of secrecy concerning its actions, it was reliably reported that the suspension charge was lying in connection with last week's elections. HANDBILL The' belief is that the Incident oc curred because of a handbill circulated on the morning of elections, ostensibly supporting one of the candidates, but printed and circulated without his knowledge. It was considered by his supporters as being detrimental to his interests. One of the defendants said last night that he is appealing the case to a fac ulty committee today. Should the com mittee decide to overrule the council's decision, it will be for the first time since the Sniscak case of October, 1935, in which the faculty changed the coun cil ruling of permanent probation to one of suspension. Meanwhile, numerous students cir (Continued on last page) PHOTO SOCIETY TO HEAR BAILEY Group Arranges Special Meeting The Photographic Society of the University has announced a special meeting on Friday evening at 7:30 to hear Hillary G.
