Wesley Players to Present 'A Child Is Born' Tuesday The performance of Stephen Vincent Benet's "A Child is Born" at the community Christmas pro gram next Tuesday night in Me morial hall will mark the third major appearance of Wesley Players, a dramatics group sponsored by Wesley Founda tion. Organized a little over a year ago, the group is working toward affiliation with the National so ciety of Wesley Players, which now has 32 chapters in universi ties throughout the country. Sponsored by the Methodist church, the national group states that its purpose is to study the relationship between the religion of Jesus, the conflicts in the soul of man, and . the expression of them in drama that is sincere, intelligent and artistic. During their very first produc tion, the local Wesley Players re ceived a good introduction to the theater's, maxim, "The show must go on.": They.,, were presenting "A King, Shall .

The group's second play, given last Easter, was especially re written for them by Ks author, Mrs. Karl Fussier of Chapel Hill. After they had selected the play, the group discovered that it had been written for produc tion at the Methodist church 10 years before, and so Mrs. Fussier was asked to bring it up to date. Mrs. Madeline Cooley Suther land, who was chosen Outstand ing Playmaker of ?46-47, has di rected all three plays, and offi cers of the group this year are Margie Cameron, president; Ted West, vice president; and Marty Pearsall, assistant director and self-styled "general handy wo man."

The police and guards were rushed to the assembly following a report that Communist-led workers planned a march on the chamber. Dozens of strikers who tried to keep non strikers from work here wer ar rested. The National assembly also heard the exact effect the govern ment's show of force was having.

Phi Members Defeat Co-op Tax Measure After an unsuccessful attempt, by a minority of the Phi ways and means committee, to prevent a bill providing for the taxation of co-operative organizations from coming before the assembly Tuesday night, Phi members de feated the measure by a vote of 10 to 5. - -' ' ' Ther bill, introduced by Repre sentative Chester D. zum Brun nen, provided for federal taxation of profits used by co-ops for ex pansion, and for the subjection of these organizations to present anti-trust legislation. House Opposes Leading the opposition to the measure, Representative Earnest House pointed out the fact that all productive co-operatives are subject to the same taxation as ordinary corporations, and that consumer co-ops, which are ex empt from income taxes, handle less than one per cent of th busi-' ness carried on in this country, j He explained that consumer co-ops are not subject to income taxation becaus'e such organiza tions are scheduled to operate on a cost basis, and therefore show no profits. He added that re strictions on the amount of inter est co-ops may pay members, and the limited amount such organi zations may place in reserve funds, off set the present income tax exemption. Plans Complete Plans have been completed for the assembly banquet to be held tonight at 6:30 at the Baptist Church. Former governor J. Melville Broughton will be the principal speaker at the affair.

Art Gallery Planetarium Now Morehead Donation Unloaded By Raney Stanford The only college-owned plane tarium in the world, scheduled for installation in the Morehead Art Gallery and Planetarium building now under construction, was un loaded on the docks at Baltimore last week.

I Mackie, Carmichacl Runoff Is Set; One Seat Open on Fighting SlowsDown In Tel Aviv, Haifa TEL AVIV, Palestine, Dec. 3. (UP) As the smoke of battle slowly starts to lift from the strife-ridden land of Palestine, the reason for the fighting slow down, a large force of British troops, has its bayonets fixed in the Tel Aviv-Haifa area. Even with the presence of the British warriors, brisk sniping is still being carried on and the "no- man's-land" between the two cit ies is a potential death-trap for anyone daring to pass through. Firemen stand by helplessly as flames engulf buildings in the no man's area, afraid to risk the haz ard of the continuous gunfire. British officials have slapped a curfew on the borderline terri tory and British troops are firing jn answer xo snois nom enuci side, as Arabs and Jews on oppo site sides shoot at anyone who shows his head. They have thrown up entrenchments and have con tinuous patrols on duty to watch the "front." According to latest reports, the past 24-hour battle has resulted in deaths of 10 men, witli 32 others seriously wounded. In all, th3 unofficial toll of casualties in Pal estine for the last two days is 23 killed and 102 wounded. Trouble in the Holy Land is far from over, however, as late communiques tell the story of new riots in Haifa. Arabs reap peared after new demonstrations today and set fire to a large Jew ish lumber yard.

The lens-covered knobs on either end contain the projec tion mechanism for the stars of the Northern and Southern skies respectively. Planet projectors and their driving gears are mounted all through the central shaft, and the main motors are built around the center of sup port, the mid-point of the shaft. The outstanding feature of this device to the astronomy student is that sky conditions can be dup licated for places anywhere on the earth's surface, at anytime when conditions are calculable by man. One can see the constella tions as they appeared at the birth of Christ, or as they should be seen by an Earth dweller 5,000 years hence.
