Wagner's production of Puccini's melodious opera scheduled to appear here No vember 5th, according to an an nouncement received yesterday. Called by Wagner "opera's most difficult feminine role." this assignment is regarded throughout the musical world as one which requires an unusually fine combination of vocal and dramatic talent. The star hand ling it is required to be on stage continually after her entrance at the beginning of the first act. During this time, she is ex pected to run the gamut of characterization from a coy young girl to that of a mature woman "whom the gods may i destroy, but not defeat." AI-! though she must convey these subtle changes from shyness to tragic despair in a scant two hours, she is aided in her task by , music which Wagner calls the best work of a great composer.

He pointed out that she has been a "holdover hit"in recent appear ances in Ohio, West Virginia, and Indiana. Last year in a se ries of appearances with the NBC concert orchestra she was singled out as one of the season's best by such diverse sources of opinion as James Melton and the New York Daily News. She will be joined in the cast by Edward Nayborg and Val frido Patacci of the New York comoanv. who will sing the male leads of Lt. Pinkerton and U. S. Consul Sharpless respec tively.

Each group of six or eight mu sicians chosen during the show is asked to play three selections of their own choosing. No mu sic whatsoever is used, making the program a true "jam ses sion," and in nearly all cases none of the participants have ev er played together before. ANYTHING FOR A JOKE San Antonio, Tex.

Pilot Tricked Into Betrayal, Critic Claims j United Press Washington, Oct. 21 The Hearings on Communism in Hollywood took oa the air of a fast-action movie melodrama today. In a true Hollywood atmos phere of klieg lights and news- reel cameras, the session broke into a bedlam during the testi mony of an anti-communist film critic, John Moffitt. Over a clam or of pounding gavels, hooting spectators and shouting lawyers, Moffitt said that a top-flight lit erary agent tricked a test pilot into writing art article about a secret, super-sonic military plane. ' He identified the agent as John Weber, head of the liter ary department of the William Morris agency. The pilot, Mof fitt said, was Chalmers Goodlin, who flew the super-sonic X-S-l in its first 20 test flights at Mu- roc field in California. Before Moffitt could get any further, Hollywood Lawyer I Charles Katz, who represents a I group of movie writers, leaped irom his seat in the front row of spectators. He shouted, "Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman." Chairman Parnell Thomas of the House un-American Activi ties committee pounded his .gav el angrily and shouted that he would permit no interruptions'. That started a din over which a raucous voice bellowed, "Throw the bum out." Two poliqemen grabbed the lawyer under the arms and hus tled him out of the room. As Katz reached the door, he shout ed over his shoulder, "I thought this was 'to be a fair hearing." ; ; Both Moffitt and dapper actor Adolphe Menjou, who nreceded himto the stand,-told the com mittee that Hollywood has many communists and fellow travelers.

Specific Coed ballot Is n8 As Butler, Thorpe, Royall Take Seats A surprizingly light vote of only 138 coeds out of almost 1,500 women on campus turned out yesterday to cast ballots in the general election of three members to the Coed Senate. Results of the election released last night by Al Winn, Chair man of the Elections board, gave Jo Butler a seat in the women's governing body as a town rep resentative, while Weddv Thorpe and Katherine Royall took the dormitory seats. Candidates voted on in the election included 12 coeds vying; for the dormitory pos;tions and four from the town district.

Paul Guthrie of the Econom ics department will speak brief ly on this subject before answer ing questions for the open de bate, from the floor. "Hot debate is expected on the issue," according to Charlie Long,- Di speaker. "We appre ciate the authoritative opinion Mr. Guthrie will have to offer Circulation Manager's Life Not a Happy One, Wails Lewis, Bemoaning Fate as Holder of Daily Tar Heel's Dirtiest Job "Where the h is my Tar Heel?" an irate voice screams into the phone.

With 7500 students, ihere is a considerable turnover in the ad dress files from year to year, and consequently we must have en tirely new listings jeach year. Now that we know where you are, we'll see to it that you get the paper." After locating Joshua Q. Hillsborough, who first came to Chapel Hill as a young man in 1879, that target for universal scorn, the circulation manager, learns that Parkwell Lane which of course is not shown on our little 3x6 ft. map jof Chapel Hill, is the first set of mud ruts to the right past Boodlewinkie's General Store. The following morning, however, young Wil liam F. Toteright, a most ca pable and dependable carrier, returns with the tale of woe that there are no numbers on any of the houses on Parkwell Lane, as is the case with about one-third of the streets in Chapel Hill. "Do I have to call you rattle brains every morning in order to get my DTH? Yesterday, you lyinc !!!, you told me I'd get my DTH "promptly" this morn ing. It is now 7:32, and still no DTH," is Mr. Zilch's quick re taliation. The miserable circulation manager now inquires, "Does your house have a number on it?" "Number!!! Don't talk fool ishness, son. I've been living here nine years and never had a number. The other boy found us. Whyinell can't you? The house is in plain view, just as soon as you go down the third path, past the end of the street, j turn left, walk fifty yards jo a tall oak, turn right, and push aside a clump of shrubbery. You can't possibly miss it, stu pid. The very idea, talking about house numbers absurd!" Thus one learns that by two simple expedients: (1) Provid ing the DTH circulation depart ment with your name and com plete local address, and (2) plac ing the correct number on your house, or in some way adentiiy ing your house he can be as sured of prompt, efficient delivery.- In the event that the circula tion department still falls short, call or complain in person to the circulation department, Daily Tar Heel, second floor Graham Memorial, phone F-3371. The office hours are 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. daily, except Monday. Miss Payoff Contest To Be Run by WSSF All dormitories, sororities, fra ternities, and other campus or ganizations will have the oppor tunity to enter a contestant in the "Miss Payoff of 1947" con test, it was announced today by Wayne Brenengen, chairman of the dance committee sponsoring the contest. fire is directed against the provision that frarernity viola tions of the agreements are to be tried by the Interfraternity council. Controversy over wording of a minor provision in the Student constitution has rapidly grown to considerable proportion after the Interfraternity council voted Monday to oppose any removal of the Judicial power granted the IFC in the visiting agree ments. (No provision for trial of fra ternity violations is made in the constitution. The ITC is merely assigned power to deal with all matters concerning fraternities alone. It is over the question of whether or not violations of the visiting agreements concern only the fraternities that the consti tutional case has arisen.) Information as to identity of the group filing the suit has not been made available. The coun cil did announce yesterday that the hearing would probably be closed though witnesses would be admitted to present testimony on constitutional questions. Last Thursday the legislature placed the agreements in effect for a period of one week until a complete review could be made, as provided in the con stitution. It was learned last night that the regular Thursday session of the legislature would be postponed a week due to rushing, but no ruling on op eration of the agreements during the interim has been made. Student Body President Tom Eller has announced he will ap pear before the Council Thurs day evening to present the ex ecutive viewpoint pn the case, but he did not announce what his stand would be. Food commission should set pro-lpn-5 StatC SfclOWintJ and other foods t )f Saint Joan Set duction quotas, fix prices, and allocate grain for export." Also on the agenda tonight will be the swearing in of 11 new members who were ap proved by the Senate last week. Senator Gran Childress, chair man of the memberjhip com mittee, has announced that there are still several vacancies in the Senate and has asked that all persons interested procure appli cation blanks at the Senate hall in New West between 6:30 and 8:30 o'clock this evening. The meeting tonight will be open to the general public, and the entire campus is invited to attend to express views on the is sue freely. Word was received last night that the Carolina Playmaker production of Shaw's "Saint Joan" will be the first time that the Irish playwright's drama about Joan of Arc has ever been staged in North Carolina. The information came in a special letter from Samuel French, New York play agents, to John W. Parker, Playmaker business man ager. The colorful costumes for the play are being made under the supervision of Mary Jo Cain, graduate assistant for the cos tume shop, and many of them are already completed. Miss Payoff will be crowned at the Battle of Bands dance, to be held November 8 in Woollen evm as the closing event of the World Student Service fund campus drive. All organizations will receive a letter from Breneneren, stating the regulations of the contest. Entrants names must be sub mitted to the information desk in the YMCA buiiding by Tues day, October 28. Each organization will put up an entrance fee for hs candidate, which will secure for her a cer tain number of votes. Other votes will be purchased by her supporters. The contest will close at 10 p.m. November 8, the night of the dance, and the winner will be revealed about an hour later. The contest and dance are but one phase of the campus-wide effort to raise funds to aid stu dents in devastated countries of Europe and Asia. .

The ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, Terry Sanford, train ing instructor in charge of tho school, announced today.
