United Press NCEA Head Charged OfMisappropriation In Teachers' Payrolls Lenoir, November 24 (UP) R. L. Fritz, Jr.', of Hudson, president of the North Caro lina Education Association, was indicted this afternoon by a grand jury at Lenoir on charges of false pretence in connection with juggling state money and padding teachers' payrolls :n tae Hud son schools. The trial date has not been ' set, but Fritz may be brought to trial before a jury at the end of this term at court. Fritz was indicted after the grand jury had examined only four witnesses. His fath er, President R. L. Fritz, Sr., of Lenoir-Rhyne college, also testified before the Caldwell county grand jury. The indictment is the latest development in the stormy case of the Hudson principal. Fritz was elected president of the teachers' organization last year after waging a losing fight for the so-called South Piedmont plan of teacher pay raises. Then a special audit re vealed his unusual bookkeep ing methods, and the State Board of Education revoked his teaching license. The county school board fired him as principal of the Hudson school, but he refused to give up his job as president of the North , Carolina Educa tion Association. Meanwhile, leaders of the North Carolina Education As sociation have decided to wait until the trial is over before taking any action to get a new president. Vice-Presi-. dent Amos " C.

Several of their Ibsen plays are to be given tests in other university theaters, but this production will be the first of the eleven to be presented to the public. A book of their Ib sen translations is to be pub lished soon by Henry Holt com pany. "An Enemy of the People" tells the story of Dr. Stockman, health officer for a small resor town in Norway, in his struggle against corrupt city officials, in cluding his brother, when he tries to expose the danger in the new water system. It is a powerful story probing the dan gers of prejudice, propaganda, and mass hysteria. The production is being di rected by Jurgensen, who, ir addition to being one of the translators, is an assistant di rector of the Playmakers. Having hung out the SRO signs for their past two nights, performances, the Laboratory theater presentation of the re cent Broadway play "The Im portance of Being Earnest" will be held over tonight for a third showing. The three-act comedy ijby Oscar Wilde will begin at 0:0 u in ine main lounge ui jrra- ham Memorial. 1 Nearly a hundred were turn ed away from last night's show ing. 'Earnest' opened on Broadway last March and played for three months to packed houses. The show was brought to New York by John Gieglud after a success ful run in London. In New York it was -directed by Gieglud, who also played the title role of "Earnest." David Samples plays "Earnest" tonight. Margaret Rutherford, who starred in the movie comedy Blythe Spirit took the female lead role of Lady Bracknell in the Broadway play ing and Katherine Covington plays that part in the Lab The atre presentation. Described by its late author Oscar Wilde as "a trivial com edy for serious people," "The Importance of Being Earnest" is, in a nutshell, a comedy of man ners. The action takes place in England around' 4895 and is woven around the aristocratic society of that period. Show director Buddy West over summed up the plot, ex plaining it concerns a young gal lant who is unable to convince his friends his name is really Earnest hence the pun within the title. In the end he proves his name to be legitimately Earnest. "The true comedy in the play comes in the social patter and j gossip over teacups, said West- over. "It is in fact a sophisti cated and quite stylized com-! edy." I Westover also expressed his thanks to the Carolina Play makers staff and the 16 mem bers of the Laboratory Theatre company.
