Orchestra Is On Fifth Tour The fifth annual". tour of the North Carolina Symphony Or chestra began this week as the 2i musicians of the North Cam lina Little Symphony under thej baton of Benjamin Swalin opened the season with concerts in Ox ford. The Little Symphony was scheduled to play concerts in Smithficld yesterday and will continue its travels next week to Campbell College Monday, Sanford Tuesday, Elizabethtown .Wednesday and Lumberton on Friday. In each engagement the Orchestra will play a children's matinee and an evening program. On Thursday the Orchestra will play a children's concert for the schools of St. Pauls and vicinity books, scholarships, food and clothing, in addition to living accomodations, are supplied in dividually to the D.P. students in these countries. In 1949 one hundred American colleges and universities gave D. P. scholarships to 200 D.P. students. Assurances are now being secured for placement in September, 1950. Many more D.P. students may secure an op portunity to begin a new. life in a new land. - Yale .University., re cently announced the acceptance of five D.P. students . and " six will study at Vassar College next year. The urge to study despite the lack of assurance of a country to live in or a professional status to enjoy is keeping more than 2,000 displaced persons in uni versities in Western Germany and Austria, a study by the In ternational Refugee Organiza tion has revealed. These and an other 4,000 D. P.'s with a back ground of university study hope to continue their studies in the countries to which they will emi grate. x D.P. students first began at tending German and Austrian Universities in the winter of 1945. Hungry as they were for a chance to begin or continue higher stu dies, they applied by the thou sands. The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, predecessor to IRO, arranged with the occupation authorities that '10 per cent of the quota at the universities would be made avail able to refugees. The quotas could' have been filled many times over despite language, fi nancial and housing difficulties faced by D..P". students. For students at Heidelberg, Bonn, Munich, Hamburg and other colleges, the hardships this year are multiplied many times over.

"I think it is coming eventually" Red Kids' Books Not Red Enough MOSCOW, Feb. 3 (I5) Writ ers of Soviet, children's litera ture got a rap on the knuckles today from Konstantihe Simonov, the noted Soviet author. Simonov admonished them to instill in Soviet children a'desire to become workers in factories and mills and to enter the ranks of the "glorious Soviet working class and collective farm pcasan try." Pravda, which published Sim onov's lengthy report on the status of children's literature in Russia, agreed. The Communist Party' news paper criticized the union of Sov iet writers for not preparing suf ficiently for a discussion of child ren's literature. The literary ga zette was reprimanded for failing to interest itself in the subject. Ten persons outstanding in the fields of religion and social problems and nine students lead ers have been selected to lead discussion groups at the Montreat Conference, Pat Bowie, Chairman of the Montreat program com mittee, revealed yesterday.

J., Feb.3 JP) Princeton . University - officials disclosed some details today of a vast exploration of new ideas in power plants' f or ultra-high speed aerial weapons. - - More than 50 separate investi gations of proposals for new en gines, or improving , present types are being made; under a military- s p o n s q r e d project " known as "squid."' . Princeton is the coordinating agency for a group of seven schools. . . At the same time Princeton is conducting two-year courses in aeronautical engineering for Army, Air Force and. Navy engi neer-pilots to prepare trfem for highly specialized flight test work in advanced types of aircraft. Out of it, Princeton scientists told a group of aviation writers, the univresities and military ser vices . expect to .bring not only radically , improved machines for missiles and planes flying at su pcrsoriic "speeds and better fuels to feed them, but men trained to carry on their development. The meeting was built around dedication of a unique superson ic wind tunnel and the first pub lie showing of research equip ment for work with rocket and jet engines. One of the studies being made at Cornell University aims at more than doubling the speed and perhaps tripling the range of the buzz, bomb," a pre-aimed mis sile used by . the Germans to slug London from across the channel. The "buzz" used a jet engine that depended upon forward mo tion to push air into the combus tion chamber. It differs from the simple ram jet in that it has flutter valves at the nose, intake which open and close rapidly to increase compression in the firing cham ber. . ; The advantage of this is to make it operate at speeds far below the minimum for a simple ram-jet. Festival Of Easter Next In Morehead Elaborate Preparations Being Made For 'Easter, The Awakening' In March With winter vet to take hold, the staff of the Morehead 3lanetarium is preparing the elaborate physical effects for he presentation of "Easter, the Awakening," scheduled for he period from March 14 through April 1U. - "We have discovered that the people of North Carolina are receptive to our spectacular de monstrations," Dr. Roy K. Mar shall, the Planetarium director said yesterday. "Almost 37,000 visitors saw. our 'Star of Bethle hem' presentation, and we expect at least 25,000 for the four weeks of the Easter show, which is sim ilar in its general, outline." Encyclopedia Has Article By Dr. Knight The importance of educational history in the. education and training of teachers and the need for research in the subject are given emphasis by Dr. Edgar W. Knight, Kenan professor of the history of education in the Uni versity, in "Encyclopedia of Edu cational Research," just published by The MacMillan, Company of New York under the general edi torship of Dr. Walter S. Monroe of the University of Illinois. Tracing and discussing the major research in American edu cational history from the first studies in the early 1890s to 1948, Dr. Knight says that "the histori cal method in the study of edu cation clearly shows that educa tional change does not always mean educational progress" and that "such change need not be whimsical or irrational but can be planned by lessons from the past. "The right of the past to be heard in discussions of current ksues and problems is as clearly established in the field of edu cation as in other deep-seated human interests and conerns, be cause history serves as an ex ample of what we should follow and of what we should avoid. Acquaintance with the educa- tional past is basic to a proper understanding of the educational present," Dr. Knight says. He also indicates the urgent need for further "substantial re search in almost every aspect of the history of education in this country. While the facilities of the Com munication Center are being call ed upon to make the transcrip tion of music and readings ap propriate to the season, the me chanical effects are being tried out as they are manufactured in the shops of the Morehead Build ing and the University Buildings Department. A great stained glass window, more than 20 feet high, is now being prepared, and the Golgotha scene is being worked up, for incorporation into the dramatic portion of the presenation. More than five dozen huge candles vill be seen, lighted, in the closing episode in which the choir's "Allelujah" at the Resur rection fills the Planetarium chamber with joyous sound. The first portion of the Easter presentation will deal with the establishment ' of Easter as a festival of the early Church, with its date determined on the basis of a compromise between the Gentile and Jewish Christians. PTA Show Adds New Act The Chapel Hill PTA's big va riety show which is set for Wool len Gymnasium Wednesday night took on another act yesterday ac cording to an announcement by Mrs. C. P. Erickson, chairman of the "ways and means committee. Added to the already impres sive list of dancing talent on hand for the show, the Durham School of Dancing, Under the direction of Mrs. Suzanne Doherty and Miss Mona Booth, will present a program by the school's Chapel Hill students. This part of the program will feature tap, ballet, acrobatic and adagio dancing and Mrs. Chester Ryn, of Durham, will accompany on the piano. As an added attrac tion, Miss Both will present a tap solo. Mrs. Erickson reported yester day that complete reports on tick et sales have not been turned in, so she could not give an accurate estimate of the number sold to date. She did report, however, that certain groups had reported that they were not having as much progress as was expected. - - Tickets will be on sale tomor row only at the Bank of Chape Hill from 9 o'clock until closing time! Prices for the tickets are fifty cents for adults and twenty- five cents for children. All PTA members will have tickets during the next few days and they will also be on sale at the door of Woollen Gymnasium Wednesday night. Coach , Bil Grice also has a supply of tick ets at the high school and they are on sale at Jeffs and. Bob Smiths. . . As a result, Easter may be on any date from March 22 to April 25, inclusive. Just how this comes about will be explained along with the intricacy of the Jewish calendar, which is really fundamental to the determination of the date of Easter. Following this "scientific" por tion of the show, there wil be a spectacle in lights and music and readings, that will match the Star of Bethlehem" in beauty and religious significance, Dr, Marshall said. A somber note, of melancholy and sadness, will pervade the opening of the dramatic portion of the Easter show," he said. The Crucifixion will be sym bolized as the center cross of the Golgotha scene changes to blood red, and climbs to dominate the sky above the visitors, while thunderous, tortured music drives home the suffering of Je sus on the Cross. The nine gongs mark the 'ninth hour' will mark the transition from the Crucifixion to the Res urrection, and music of a changed nature will convey, with the readings, trie idea of rebirth in nature, as well as the Resurrec tion, because Easter is, essential ly, a festival of spring. Farmers to Get Excess Spuds For Cent a 100 WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 Secretary of Agriculture Brannan today directed that from 25,000, 000 to 40,000,00 bushels of the 1949 surplus potato crop be dis- posed of where it was grown. Brannan authorized production and marketing administration field men to sell the surplus po tatoes back to farmers at one cent per 100 pounds for disposi tion on their farms. The secretary disclosed the ac tion at a news conference. The potatoes will be part , of the es timated 50,000,000 bushels sur plus. They were acquired by the government in carrying out the price support ' program on the 1949 crop as required by law. Brannan said the farmers can freeze or air dry the potatoes for ultimate use as livestock feed; or can dispose of them as ferti lizer or in other ways when more practicable. The potatoes will be dyed to insure that they are disposed of as provided and not moved in the normal channels of distri bution. He said his instructions provide for continued efforts to develop and use all practicable diversion outlets which do not involve ad ditional losses' for handling and freight charges. 1 Coal Parley May Resume; Up To Lewis WASHINGTON", Feb. 3 X') Conciliation Director Cyrus S. Ching was Reported today to be ready to call new contract talks in the coal dispute if John L. Lewis sends tbe miners back to the pits for an "acceptable" work week. Ching informally stepped back into the tangled dispute today to be on hand to help revive ne gotiations if he sees any opening. Replies of Lewis and the soft coal operators to President Tru man's peace formulas are due tomorrow. Lewis expected to send his answer to the White House tomorrow morning. What it would be was the subject of much speculation. Prominent coal men thought Lewis would direct the 400,000 soft coal ' miners and possibly the 80,000 hard coal miners who also have a contract dispute to go on a four-day work week. They have been working three days by Lewis' order most of the time since contracts expired la: July, except for time lost by strikes. Architect to Talk At Meet Sunday Eric Mendelsohn, noted archi tect, will speak on "My Contri bution to "the Development of Contemporary Architecture" at the opening meeting of the North Carolina State Architects winter meeting tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in Person Hall. Mendelsohn's talk, scheduled for 4 o'clock, will follow 'a gallery talk by H. T. Wijdeveld which will take place in the Person Hall Gallery, where examples of ar chitecture are on display. The local chapter is the North Carolina Chapter of the Ameri can Institute of Architects!' Bag Skirts? Hard times are here again, or at least will be encouraged at the Presbyterian Church's "hard limes" square dance to be held in the church basement tonight at 8 o'clock. Old or extremely informal man said yesterday, that is, blue jeans for men and burlap bag skirls for girls.
