SPEAKS ON GUTENBERG, RISE OF PRINTING Program Honors 500th Anniversary Of Invention As a part of the local celebration of the 500th anniversary of the in troduction of printing to Western civilization in 1440. George Parker Winship will deliver a lecture tonight at 8:30. in Gerrard hall on "Guten berg and the Invention of Printing" under the auspices of the Humanities utvisiuu ui me university. Besides being the 500th anniversary of printing, this year is also the 400th anniversary of printing in the new world and the 300th anniversary of printing in what is now the United States. In 1440 Johannes Gutenberg built himself a press and printed the first book ever printed, the famous Guten berg Bible; in 1540 a Spanish printer in Mexico printed the first book, in the Western hemisphere; and in 1640 the "Bay Psalm Book" became the first book printed in the territory which is now the United States. EXHIBIT An exhibit has been prepared show ing the high spots in the history of printing and is on display in the cases on the main floor of the library. Winship is one of the outstanding American authorities on the history of printing. He has been a librarian at Brown university and at Harvard. During the past year he has been a Rosenbach fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, an appointment which required the delivering of three lec tures on themes relating to the his tory of printing. Among his books about early print ing in Europe, Winship has written: "Gutenberg to Plantin," "William Caxton and His Work," and "A Cen sus of Fifteenth Century Books Own ed in America." Besides these books (Continued on page , column 2 Library Displays Exhibit Showing Rise Of Printing In connection with a lecture on I "Gutenberg and the Invention of Printing" to be delivered here tonight by George Parker Winship, an exhibit showing the early development of printing has been put on display in the library..

The material in the first case is introduc tory to that displayed in the other five and gives examples, dating from the year 2150 B. C, of the earliest means of preserving the written word.

Wheeler's Address From Here April 23 Montana Senator Is Highlight Of CPU Spring Program A coast-to-coast hook-up over the Columbia Broadcasting system will carry Senator Burton K. Wheeler's address here April 23, Harry Gatton, chairman of the Carolina Political union, announced yesterday. Gatton also said that a complete representa tion of North Carolina's Congressmen would be present to hear the Montana senator, "dark horse" in the Demo cratic presidential race, speak on the CPU's fourth anniversary program. CBS headquarters notified Gatton yesterday that a half -hour from 9:30 to 1(5 o'clock would, be allotted to Wheeler's speech here. It is planned to begin the union's fourth anniversary celebration early in the evening, when the CPU and the visiting Congressmen will be feted with a banquet in the Carolina Inn. PROGRAM Following the festivities in the Inn, the complete entourage, led by Wheeler, will proceed to Memorial hall, where the campus may view the Washington delegation, who will be introduced. The evening's program in Memorial hall will start at 8:30, and Senator Wheeler will speak from 9:30 to 10 o'clock. The latest reports from political observers in the nation's capital indi cate that Wheeler is rapidly gaining support from a powerful faction in the Democratic party. In the past few weeks, he has been reported to have been aligned with Secretary of State Hull to form a' Hull-Wheeler . ticket, and with Postmaster General Jim) Farley on a Wheeler-Hull ticket, al though he has denied both. The Mon tana senator has expressed his wil lingness to run for the presidency, but added that he would withdraw should President Roosevelt decide to run for a third term. About a month ago, John L. Lewis and the ' CIO pledged their support to him, after bitterly denounc ing the President and the New Deal Wheeler's address here on April 23 will highlight a quarter of CPU speakers, which includes Rochester Publisher Frank Gannett on April 9 New York's crime-busting Republican presidential hopeful Thomas E. Dewey and Missouri's Governor Lloyd C Stark in May. Clifford Odets Sides With Russell In CCNY 'Free Love' Incident By VIVIAN GILLESPIE "If Bertrand Russell is rejected as a nroiessor at ine iity coiiege oi New York because he advocates free love, then 90 per cent of the great classics in literature, music, and phi losophy will have to be thrown out," said Clifford Odets, prominent Broad way Dlavwrierht. who Es paying a short visit in Chapel Hill. "Wagner had three wives and two mistresses," he added, "Beethoven had a love affair every seven months, Tchaikowsky was a homosexual, and Brahms had an illicit affair; there fore their work should be burned, if this ultra-conservative viewpoint is followed out to its logical conclusion." "An editorial today in your Daily Tar Heel upheld the 'common sense viewpoint of banning Russell be cause, although academic freedom is worthwhile, too-radical doctrines should be suppressed, because of the harm, they will do," Odets continued. "This was unfair, because Russell is 900 miles away and can't defend him self. It was gratuitous and extreme ly intolerant." "There is no harm in exposing young people to life. The trouble with the middle class of America is that they are afraid to let their chil dren have experience. Why not put them in the cellar and chain them to the furnace then they will be safe.

C, next Monday night by the same cast which appears tonight. DESCRIPTION In Hughes' own description of the plays, he says : "Beginning in the tenth century, or earlier, as a dramatic dia logue chanted before Mass on Easter day, these dramas developed into ac tual plays, with a representation of the visit of the Marys to the empty tomb of Christ. The plays were al ways performed to a plainsong set ting, which at times was really drama tic, music.
