-Operation Textbook," spon
sored by the Alpha Kappa Psi
fraternity, has run into an unfore
seen difficulty. Of the two books
collected yesterday morning, fra
ternity officers report that only
one remains.
The missing book was a social
science text that was to be sent
to Japan with all other books col
lected. Members of Alpha Kappa
Psi said that removal of books
from the collection tables could be
of indirect help to the Communists.
'The Russians are sending texts
to Japan; the only way . we can
give 'our side of the story is-to
send our own texts," they said.
Fraternity officers have indi
cated that any textbooks will be
helpful.
Collection tables have been
placed in the "Y" and in Lenoir
Hall, and members will be glad
to call at any dorm, sorority, or
fraternity house to pick up collec
tions of five or more books.
Organizations who would like
for Alpha Kappa Psi to collect
their books should call 9-9061.
CPU Session
On Honors Plan
Slafsd Sunday
A discussion Is scheduled by the
Carolina Political Union, Sunday
night at 8 o'clock in the Grail
Room, the topic of which will be
the recognition, advancement and
honoring of academically superior
students.
This topic was among the rec
ommendations set forth by the
State of the University Conference.
It is felt that a program is lack
ing whereby superior students may
exercise their abilities to their
fullest capacity, thereby gaining
more than they ordinarilly would
under the regular curricula.
Many departments have already
instituted programs of recognition
and encouragement .such as "read
ing for honors," department hon
oraries, etc.
However, it was pointed out that
more emphasis should be placed
on financial aid to deserving
students. m

Puerto Ricans
Shoot Down
Congressmen
WASHINGTON, March 1 -()-'
Bursts of pistol fire from a spec
tators' gallery cut down five mem
bers of Congress during a House
session today. Two men and a
woman who shouted "Free Puer
to Rico" were seized by police as
confusion swept the chamber.
At headquarters, police said the
trio were members of the same
Nationalist Independence Party in
As reports of the shooting of
five Congressmen were heard
yesterday afternoon, a Daily Tar
Heel reporter ironically recalled
I A comment that Sen. Russell B.
Long made during his visit here
last weekend. ....
"The President," Sen. Long
said, "doesn't have a chance to
get close to the people. His life
is always in danger.
"But members of Congress are
in an excellent position to be
close to the people, since they
don't have this danger."
Puerto Rico as the two men who
tried to assassinate President Tru
man in 1950.
The three rose up in a House
gallery which -is above and to the
left of the speaker's rostrum, fir
ing wildly perhaps as many as 25
or 30 shots.
The five lawmakers they hit
among the 243 who were on the
floor were Alvin M. Bentley
(R-Mich.), Ben F. Jensen (R-Iowa),
Clifford David (D-Tenn.), Kenneth
A. Roberts (D-Ala.), and George
H. Fallon (D-Md.).
Bentley and Jensen were hit in
the body -and were wounded seri
ously. The others received flesh
wounds.
Rep. Walter Judd (R-Minn.), a
physician who gave first aid to
Bentley, said a bullet struck Bent
ley's left side, below the heart,
and went through to the right side.
At Casualty Hospital, physicians
described Bentley's condition as
serious but said he was "doing all
right."
Jensen was struck in the left !
shoulder and there was concern
at first that his spine .had been
injured. His physicians reported,
however, that this appeared not to
be "the case. He was taken to
Bethesda Naval Hospital.
Davis and Roberts were each hit
in the lower leg. Fallon was struck
in the fleshy, upper thigh, the bul
let passing through.

Playmakers Present 'Kiss
Cole Porter Hit To Open Friday
The Carolina Playmakers will
present "Kiss Me Kate," Cole
i-orter's Broadway and movie
musical hit, will be presented
Friday and Saturday nights at
8:30 in Memorial Hall.
It is the Playmaker's first
Broadway musical since the 1951
production of "Of Thee I Sing."
Directed by Prof. Samuel Sel
den, director of the Playmakers,
this is the first North Carolina
production of the comedy, which
ran for several years on Broad
way. An important feature and
one seldom given so much em
phasis in these productions is
dance and its accompanying mu
sic. This is the first time the
Playmakers 'have used a com
plete orchestra in several years
an 18-piece musical comedy
orchestra under the direction of
Dr. Wilton Mason of the UNC
Music Department, who has con
ducted Playmakers musicals for
a number of years.
Dr. Mason, well known
throughout the South as a teach
er, as composer, conductor and
musician, is a graduate of the
Julliard School fo Music. As a
pianist he has appeared in con
certs and recitals throughout the
his office by Col. L. S. Lee Tellier,
acting president since Summerall's
retirement last year, and Cadet
Col. Herbert F. Rothschild, cadet
regimental commander.
Clark retired last fall after 40
years Army service.
Gov. James F. Byrnes tele
phoned his congratulations from
Columbia. Byrnes' call was fol
lowed by a visit from Ernest F.
Hollings, president of the AssnTof
Citadel Men.
Clark told newsmen he would
spend the first few weeks talking
to "Boys who are in positions of
responsibility," and being briefed
on various affairs of the 112-year-old
military institution.
The general will be formaly in
augurated as 11th president of The
Citadel March 19. Secretary of the
Army Robert T. Stevens will be
the principal speaker. "
Gen. Summerall, 86-year-old
World War I Army chief of staff,
retired last July after serving as
president since 1928.
Gen. Clark's most recent tour of
duty was as commander of U.N.
forces in the Far East, including
Japan and Korea, during much of
the heavy fighting in the Korean
War. .

Playmakers productions and is
co-author with Catherine Mc
Donald of the popular original
musical comedy, "Spring for
Sure."
This play has the distinction
being the only locally-written
musical ever to be given a ma
jor production by the Playmak
ers, and was toured through the
South in 1952. Mason's new one
act opera, "Kingdom Come," was
given its world premiere during
the past summer season in
