Heavy clouds blanketed most of North Korea hampering air attacks throughout the night and yesterday. WASHINGTON Soviet bloc of ficials are playing diplomatic tag these days in a way that suggests the Kremlin is maneuvering for major international negotiations with the Eisenhower administra tion. Instead of their usualfrigid and stiff manners, Communist dip lomats are turning on friendliness-behind-the-scenes. WASHINGTON The White House announced yesterday that President Eisenhower will fly to Augusta, Ga., Thursday afternoon for a weekend of golf. Press secre tary James G. Haggerty said the chief executive will remain in Au gusta until Sunday, reutrning late that afternoon. UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. A fresh U. S. team braced itself for a crucial diplomatic offensive against Iron Curtain veterans in the second round of the United Na tions General Assembly's seventh session which opened yesterday. 'Good Lady of Setzuan Playmakers To In Forthcoming By Betty Johnson A neat problem in character dif ferentiation was well on the way to solution when Kai Jurgensen, di rector of the forthcoming Carolina Playmakers' production, "The Good Woman of Setzuan," decided to use half-masks for the 24 characters played by his cast of 12. The unusual production will be presented in the Playmakers Thea ter Thursday through Sunday. Originally this modern German expressionist drama included some 30 citizens of the Chinese village of Setzuan, in addition to the good woman and her airline pilot lover. Cut to its present 24, the play was still considerably unwieldy for the limitations of the Playmakers' stage. " Through the use of concert stag ing and masks, Jurgensen has sur mounted this difficulty adroitly and in keeping with the modernist tone of the play. Sydney Litwack, graduate stu dent from Los Angeles, Calif., de signer and executor of the 22 cari cature masks to be used in this production, brought extensive ex perience in scenic design to the problems at hand. A native Canadian, Litwack work ed with the Montreal Canadian Art Theater in the 1945-46 season both BULLETIN The Rev. Charlie Jones, who refused to resign his pastorate at the Presbyterian Church here, was fired last night because "the interests of religion imperatively demanded it." A resolution containing this statement was passed 7 to 1. by the Orange Presbytery Judicial Commission. This automatically dissolves Mr. Jones' pastoral con nection here. The commission added that it had not been their wish "to use our judicial authori ty." Earlier they had demanded Mr. Jones' resignation for alleged doctrinal departures. Fair's Top Speaker Appointed R. D. Warwick, general manager of the Statesville Chamber of Com merce and president of the North Carolina Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, will be the keynote speaker at the open ing night session of the third an nual Business Fair here next Mon day and Tuesday. The fair sponsored by the Al pha Tau chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, national professional fraternity in business administration, and the theme this year will be "Personnel Key to Business Success." Warwick will speak at 7 p.m. at the first session in Carroll Hall, one of the new buildings for the School of Business Administration. His subject will be "Bringing Busi ness and Keeping College (jraa uates in North Carolina." The fair will feature a panel on "Industry Reports to Students" at the Tuesday night session. State officials, educators and industrial ists will make up the panel. Approximately 25 industries throughout the state will exhibit displays on various phases of busi ness in Carroll Hall during the two day fair. A native of Charlotte, Warwick was educated in the Charlotte schools and at Duke University. Be fore entering Chamber of Com merce work, he was with the U. S Public Health Service in five coun ties in North Carolina with head quarter in Winston-Salem. Warwick, who has been in States ville since 1948, has been president of the student body of the South eastern Institute of Chamber of Commerce Executives held annually at the University of North Carolina.

The Great Jolfed A Sedafe Phi A (This is the first of several articles describing life o nthe campus in the school year 1841-1842.

By John' Jamison' What would you do if you picked up a faded, handwritten sheaf of papers and your eye fell upon this statement? "This is my private journal xvhich I want no man to read while I live nor after my death." Would you feel just a little disappointed and put the diary back where you found it? Or would you react like most people, light up a cigaret, settle down and read on with even more intense curiosity? The writer of those words was a student here, class of '42, (1842). The age of the words', the long-ago death of the author, perhaps add to the somberness of their aspect. Ruffin Wirt Tomlinson (1817-1844) came from a farm near Smithfield. During his senior year at Carolina, he made almost daily notations in his "journal." He commented shrewdly on dating on the campus, lewd professors, card playing, gun battles in the Phi and the wiles of Student Gov Dr. Raymond Ross Paty of the Tennessee Valley Authority will dis cuss "The Multiple Purpose Program of TV A" tonight at 8 o'clock at the Institute of Phrrmacy building.

He thanked those wlio participated In the fight against the change. Students expecting to undergo special hardship due to the switch are asked to notify the president's office as soon as possible. An at tempt will be made to alleviate such cases. Below is the text of an open let ter issued yesterday afternoon by Horton: "An open letter to the, student body: "The question of whether or not we are to have Saturday classes has been decided. We lost. We're gonna have them. Our only task now is to accept them with as good grace as possible. "To blame the Executive Com mittee, the Trustees, or South Building for the switch to Saturday classes can do no good to anyone. And it can do harm to everyone.

The original diary is owned by Miss Emma Tomlinson, a distant relative of its writer. Miss Tomlinson's cousin, John Sanders, a law student here and former president of the student body, discovered its existence in the summer of 1948. He was preparing to enter the University at that time, so his interest in the document was personal and immediate. For several reasons, Sanders felt, the Tomlinson diary should become public record. It seemed to have considerable historical value to friends of the University. Also, says Sanders, "It affords an intimate and intrinsically interesting account of the life of its author during his final year in college." The result of Sanders' interest in the project is the diary's publication in the February and March issues of the North Carolina Historical Review. Sanders' job of editing has added much to the value of the document as a contribution to the University's historical record. The editor has "attempted to identify, with brief biographical notes, each of the persons re ferred to byTTomlinson in association with the. University or Chapel Hill. Where it appeared ad visable, explanatory footnotes have been added to clarify certain of his references to activities and (See TOMLINSON page 4) and a well-known Southern educa tor.

In addition to Graham, five other men whose names are well known in Chapel Hill have endorsed the drive that will include support for students in Korea as well as the stricken in the flood - devastated Netherlands.

"Never, to my knowedge," said McFall, "has the UP 'Notified the various fraternity and sorority houses that fraternities would be abolished if the SP won,' as Tues day's editorial "Try, Try, Again' stated." "On the contrary," McFall said, "the UP has never felt any distinc tion between fraternity and dormi tory men other than their place of residence." Editor Walt Dear commented in return: "Since, The Daily Tar Heel is a newspaper, it will continue to take stands on issues. The Daily Tar Heel is partial to all sides on many matters. It is impartial in its efforts to seek out the truth and in expressing its opinion. "This newspaper will continue to take a stand on matters of campus, state, national and international is sues."

Tillman Choice To Edit Yack; Race Is Ruqqed By Louis Kraar The University Party nominated Bob Gorham their presidential can didate last night by acclamation. Rolfe Neill won the nomination for Daily Tar Heel editor also by acclamation. Neill, present manag ing editor of the newspaper, said he would try for a double endorse ment. The party O.K. for Gorham took less than a minute. This nomina tion followed an hour's battle to pick one of three candidates for editor of the Yackety Yack. Rollie Tillman won the nomination over Bob Colbert and Lib Moore. Gorham outlined what he called "two principles for this campaign." They were "common sense" and "sincerity." The UP nominee is from Rocky Mount and is best known for his work as chairman of the orienta tion program. Gorham is in the Phi Assembly, a former legislator, and a member of Delta Kappa Ep silon fraternity. His nomination was not much of a surprise since he has been mentioned for the post for several months. Neill, Daily Tar Heel candidate, was news editor in his freshman year. He enrolled from Columbus, Ga. but now lives in Chapel Hill. He became managing editor during his sophomore year and later ser ved as executive editor. He re-assumed the managing editor's job last spring with the election of Barry . Farber. He is a political science and history major and a member of Phi Delta Theta fra ternity. Gorham declared after his nom ination "we, the University Party, have the opportunity to continue raise student government to a new a great service. We can further a level of dignity and respect, in which each student feels that he is a part. I firmly believe that the major factor in student apathy so prevalent here is the lack of re spect that the average student has for student government. "This lack of respect comes from the constant bickering, the politi cal maneuvering by the campus politicians in an attempt to increase " party fortunes. Politics has a place on the campus, but this place must not be over emphasized." Contrasting the quick selection of president and Daily Tar Heel editor, nominations for editor of the Yackety Yack brought much debate. Tillman, winner of the nom ination, was mentioned early this week as a "dark horse" candidate. He is not a staff member of this year's yearbook but is business manager of Tarnation. The top issue in the Yackety Yack editor selection was that of rebates the money refunded to the staff, by printers in return for meeting deadlines. In the past, staffers have received this money. But recently there has been some question as to whether this prac tice should continue. Colbert and Miss Moore are Yack staffers. Both are in favor of staff ers getting the rebates. Tillman did not favor this. Upon defeat, Colbert said, "I am dropping out of the race . . . because it is my conviction that politics have no place in the Yack ety Yack. I am now going to do all I can to see that the Yack is taken out of politics." The party will nominate for vice president, secretary-treasurer and class officers next week. Fcod And Lecture "The First Month of the Eis enhower Administration" will be the topic of a discussion led by Or. E. J. Woodhouse today at 5 p.m. in the Main Lounge of Gra ham Memorial. The discussion is sponsored by the Student-Faculty Relations Committee of the Graham Mem orial Student Union Activities Board. It is open to the public and refreshments will b served.
