PAGE FOUB THE DAILY TAB THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. i94l Ex-Play maker 9 Screen Actor Pays Surprise Visit to Koch ' Back home for a week's visit, Shep perd Strudwick, former Carolina Playmaker, now a leading man for Twentieth Century-Fox in Hollywood, paid a surprise visit to Dr. Frederick H. Koch, and the scenes of hi3 stu dent acting days yesterday when he spent the day in Chapel Hill.

Now under contract for Twentieth Century-Fox studios, he has appear ed in pictures for MGM, including "Congo Maisie," "The Strange Case of Dr. Kildare," and "Flight Com mand." ". ' , "Acting on the screen," he told members of Dr. Koch's class in the Playmakers Theater, "is entirely dif ferent tfrom acting on the stage, but for the actor, it is not as satisfying. Hollywood, for the director and tech nician, offers , unlimited opportuni ties because of the wide flexibility of the camera. But for the actor, he said, "there is not the stimulation that you get when you're acting for an audience." The best of the crea tive talent in drama is still located in New York, Strudwick told the class, and it is to the New York stage that he hopes to return. "But actors have to eat, so I'm in Hollywood," he explained.

It took us a week, under continual air attack, to reach Caen." "The roads were crowded with refu gees; there was little food as the vil lages we went through had already been evacuated. France has wide ditches along its roads, luckily," smiled Hardre, "and we would hide in the ditches when the planes came over." Didn't Believe Armistice The soldiers would not believe that an armistice had been asked for, said Hardre, as they had. been told they would be sent to Northern Africa to continue the fight, there. It was not until they reached Bordeaux that they actually believed that France had fall en. The troops felt despair, at not be ing able to do anything, and bitter ness came out towards those who had neglected to prepare France while Germany was rearming. . -. After. the. armistice with Germany, Hardre, who commanded a section, was sent, to Cahqrs in. central France There he waited a month and a half before, being demobilized. "The problem then was how to re turn . to the .United : States," said Hardre. "On October 8, I received my American visa and was granted per mission to leave French territory.; I sailed to Algiers and from there I went to Casa Blanca in French Mo rocco." "By chance I met an authority in the French Moroccan government, who intervened in my behalf, and I received permission to cross Spanish territory," Hardre said. "I reached Tangier s across from Gibralter. After waiting two weeks there, I bought passage on a plane for Lisbon, and sailed from there on an Ameri can Export liner for the United States."

"Petain has one trump card," he declared, "which he can use against the Germans to gain a measure of fair treatment for the French. That is Marshal weygand, and his army of 350,000 well-equipped men in North ern Africa. Weygand is loyal to Pe tain, and. takes orders from the Pe tain government. The Germans have no control over this army, which is situated in Algier, Tunisia, and French Morocco." "Americans should heed the lesson of France," Hardre declared. "France put all her trust in the Maginot Line, just as Americans are placing their trust in the British fleet and the At lantic 'ocean." , ' "The fall of France," he said, "proves that good faith and intelli gence are powerless against organiz ed murder. It is time to put idealism aside and get down to brass tacks. That is the only possible way to save our ideals."

UP Chairman Comments Chairman Jick Garland of the Uni versity party, who was present at the meeting, was dubious about the bill's being put into effect this spring and believed that such reorganization could possibly hurt class spirit. In general, however, he liked the bill and promised not to lobby against it. - The point raised during the discus sion that such a bill could not be con stitutionally passed by the Student legislature was refuted last night by Speaker Bill Cochrane. In giving reasons for creating the combined office of secretary-treasurer, I members pointed out that student gov ernment operated most efficiently with a minimum number of offices. To Reduce Lengthy Ballots The elimination of three offices from spring elections would be a step tow ard reducing the lengthy ballot lists which have discouraged much student interest in politics. ' Approval on the setting up. of one administrative committee was based on the opinion that the present over sized committees appointed for politi cal reward cannot perform class busi ness as efficiently as a more concen trated group. v Class finances, dances and execu tive duties and even themiscellan eous activities for senior week could The local chapter of the Americas Student union will meet tonight a 7:30 in 212 Graham Memorial.
