Lewis Walkout Order
Called Grandstanding
Washington, March 29 (UP)
A spokesman for J. A. Krug, the
Secretary of the Interior, said tonight,
"John L. Lewis planned to have a
strike on April 1, and this is his way
of doing it." That so far, is the only
even semi-official comment on the
mine leader's announced decision to
call his soft coal miners off the job
for one week, starting at midnight
Monday and continuing to midnight
Sunday, April 6.
Lewis says the six-day period is to
be a time of mourning for the 111
miners killed in the Centralia, 111.,
mine explosion. Whetherby coinci
dence or design, the stoppage is set
for the exact time Lewis had planned
to call a strike against the govern
ment until the Supreme court stopped
him.

"Grandstand Play"
Meanwhile, John D. Battle,
the
Executive Secretary of the National

cbsolute power over the miners and the
nation's fuel." He calls the move a
"grandstand play," Senator Joseph
J. Ball of Minnesota echoes the mine
executive. He says, "This demon
strates again the kind of complete dic
tatorial power this mas has."
Professor Frank W. Hanft of the
University law school will conduct
a class devoted to the candid con
sideration of the elements of Chris
tian faith. Plans call for Profes

terested students are invited to
appear at the first session which
will meet tomorrow evening. Par
ticularly those whose relation to
religion is chiefly negative or one
of indifference are especially urged
to attend.

Last Showing of 'Imaginary Invalid'
Pictured are members of the cast of the Laboratory th?atre's production of Moliere's farce, "The Imaginary
Invalid." The play will be shown for the last times ton'ght in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. Two per
formances will be given, one at 7 o'clock, and another at nine. Playing to a packed house last evening, the
play boasted a cast including Buddy Westover, Lynn Leonard, Barbara Bramble, Lois Warnshuis, and David
Hooks.
The Laboratory theatre was formed to take care of the increasing number of Dramatic Art majors who do
not usually get a chance to appear in regular Playmaker productions. Since Graham Memorial started spon
soring the productions this year, playgoers on the campus have shown a high degree of enthusiasm over the
work of the group.
It is the policy of the Laboratory theatre to put on plays which are original, or seldom done on the stage.
Says actress Lynn Leonard of the Moliere work, "It is designed to bring as many laughs as the audience can
stand."
AVC to Discuss
Greek Aid Plan
Will Also Discuss
Communism Tuesday
Chapel Hill members of the Ameri
can Veterans committee will discuss
the Truman proposal to aid Greece
and the current move to outlaw the
Communist party when the group as
sembles at . 7:30 Tuesday evening in
the Presbyterian church for its fijrst
spring quarter meeting.
Walter Spearman, assistant profes
sor of journalism and AVC southern
regional chairman, will report to the
organization on the results of his trip
to New York over the spring holi
days to attend the AVC National
Planning committee meeting.
Discuss Subsistence Hike
Also on the agenda will be further
discussion of the current drive to
raise the amount of GI subsistence.
Last quarter AVC and UVA conduct
ed a campus-wide cost-of-living poll
which revealed that most veterans
find the present allowance inade
quate. The group plans to continue
work on this project throughout
this quarter.
"New members will be very wel
come," said Chairman Ben Rouzie.
"We would be especially happy to
have those people who dislike vet
erans' organizations attend because
we believe they would be surprised to
see that we don't fit the traditional
pattern. Any veteran of the armed
forces or merchant marine is eligible.
This includes women veterans. Of
course casual visitors are always wel
come too."
