Depart ment 23, years ago to join the editorial staff of the Baltimore Evening Sun, Gerald Johnson, noted author and newspaperman, expressed . amazement at the growth of University and town since his faculty days. "Chapel Hill is bigger, hand somer, and commoner, but I hate to see many of the beautiful views blocked off by the new buildings, many of them of a temporary na ture, constructed In recent years," said Author Johnson. "When I first came here 23 years ago the University was as poor as Job's turkey but very proud. There was so much land available that you could throw away 10 acres of building sites and still have plenty left. Things are so crowded now that about the only unobstructed view is Phone F-3371 F-3361 US . N$ To Withdraw Air my From Germany New Musical Slated For Return Showing 'Merrily We Love' Hit Scene Stars Levinson, Gates, Faust, and Hillman - Plans have been completed for a return showing tomor row night of the Sound and Fury musical "Merrily We Love," according to an announcement made yesterday by Mark Barker, president of the organization. The enthusiasm shown by those attending the show Thursday and Friday nights plus the fact that many persons who have express ed a desire to see the. perform ance but who had made plans to be absent from town due to Mother's Day, were the reasons given by Barker for the repeat performance. Particular interest has been shown in the musical score writ ten for the show by Frank Mat thews. Matthews, a song writer with, ten years composing ex perience behind him, chose 27 of what he considered his best numbers for the score. The vocal talents of Lee Noll, Jimmy Faust, Betty Lokey and particularly Jean Hillman have also attracted wide spread atten tion on campus since the show opened Thursday night. The most popular scene in the entire show is the scene taken in the dressing room of the chorus girls. In this scene Gladys j.evinson, Anna Gates, Jimmy Faust and Jean Hillman have an opportunity to give the audience the full bene fit of their interpretation of what they think a chorus girl goes through in her struggle for star dom on the great whiteway.

"No doubt Dr. Frank Graham's work in the national field has con tributed in large measure to this reputation. "It's much to the credit of the State that the University has been able to introduce new ideas without being gagged," he added. Johnson was pleased to note that the big increase in the output of Southern writers in recent years. Recalling that Henry L. Mencken once referred to the South as the Sahara of the Beaux Arts, he said the section could now be called the Vale of Tempo.

"In Chapel Hill, for instance, every body seems to be writing a book or on the verge of writing one. The University Press ranks high all over the country as one of the best, and there are other good university presses at Duke, Okla homa, and Louisiana State. "The South is still a pretty dis mal section, however, for book sellers, with the exception of Texas." ' Noting that newspapermen now make much larger salaries than they did when hq,was a younster, Johnson remarked that "thev don't seem to be any better off and they don't work nearly as hard as they used to. It used to be nothing to put in 12 to 15 hours a day." He was greatly pleased at the Colonial style of architecture that is being used more and more on the fronts of establishments in the Chapel Hill business section. NUMBER 163 Red Proposals To Be Blocked At Paris Meet WASHINGTON, May 7 (UP) The United States will reject- flatly any Soviet1 pro posals for quick withdrawal of occupation troops from Germany, a hih American diplomat said today. - He disclosed that the State Department is drafting counter proposals to be ready in event the Soviets make such a demand at the Paris meeting of the Coun cil of Foreign Ministers. He said the United States is still com mitted to a long-term occupation policy. This view was regarded as au thoritative since this official is one of Secretary of State Dean Acheson's top advisers. He is cer tain to be . a member of the Unit ed Nations delegation at the Paris Big Four meeting and is current ly engaged in drafting American strategy for that meeting. There has been evidence from behind the iron curtain that Soviet strategy at Paris will be directed toward winning support of German Nationalists, with a view to wrecking western plans for a west-German state, and that this strategy will hinge on a proposal to withdraw all oc cupation forces. . This official said the United States is confident that any such Soviet plan will fail. He said that, in the first place, it would align western Europe nations, notably Fiance, even closer with the U. S. viewpoint because of their feays or renewed German aggression. Secondly, he said, "a lot of Germans don't want it (U. S. troop withdrawal). They know Russia, they don't trust her, and they value the protection of our forces." This official warned that "we do not expect an overall solu tion of the German problem to emerge from the Paris meeting." "The German problem, like the poor, will be with us for a long time," he added. Top State Department brains are working up "position" papers on a multitude of Greman issues. These "positions" will be "har monized" with British and French views at preliminary three-power talks in Paris before the ministers start meeting. The State Department announc ed today that ambassador-at-large Philip C. Jessup and de partment counselor Charles Boh len will leave Washington for this preliminary meeting before the end of next week. It is an ticipated that the three power conversations will last at least a week. The diplomatic informant made it clear that the United States is approaching the four-power talks with extreme caution. He said that in the lifting of the Eerlin blockade, "We won a bat tle." Now, he said, "The main idea is to avoid loosing a campaign." He said that while Acheson has set no "deadline" for con clusion of the Paris meeting, "still we feel that by June 15 we should know where we stand" and whether it will be worth while to continue the talks. "Mr. Acheson cannot afford to remain away from Washington too long," he said. This official denied reports that the United States will propose a new separate currency for Ber lin when the involved Berlin currency problem is taken up by the foreign ministers. Aquinas Committee Meeting Set Monday A meeting of the Aquinas Club Executive Committee will be held tomorrow on the Eecond floor of the YMCA, a Club spokesman stated yesterday. t "Sweetheart oi and after the speakers.
