This was the scene on the picket l.nr at the two strike-torn cotton nulls The strikers' every emotion as poured out across the hot street a the strike breakers as they rolled nut of the mill. Their cur windows were rolled up; they moved quick ly in order to isc?pe the shouts and taunt of the embittered strikers. But some of them didn't complete ly escape. Some were struck by lukks thrown from the crowds of strikers lining the street for nearly a hjlf mile. Student Party Selects New Officers Monday New party officers will be elect ed at a meeting of the Student Tarty Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Ro land I'arker I and II. The new officers to be elected include a chairman, vice chairman, secretary, treasurer and four mem bers of the SI' Advisory Board. The only active candidate for chairman is Dewey Sheffield. Run ning for SI' vice chairman are Nor man K. Smith and Bob Nobles. For party scretary, Martha Mor gan ii a candidate. And a candi date for treasurer is Ed Cox. About an hour later, Governor Luther Hodges rolled dramatically into the parking lot at the offices of the south Henderson plant. The Gov ernor was flanked by State Hiyhway Patrolmen men he had sent to Hen derson to try to maintain some man ner of peace. The Governor stepped briskly out of his 1 931 Cadillac limousine and strolled into the office of John D. Cooper Jr., mill president. Thirty minutes later, Boyd Payton, Carolina's Director of the Textile Workers I'nion of America, arrived unescorted. Payton was a man alone. He ar rived alone. He met with the Gov ernor and management officials alone. He came outside the con ference room alone. He left to go to dinner alone. Once, upon emerging from the smcke-filled conference room, he was asked if he felt lonesome. "Very lonesome," he answered solemnly. Once the strike talk had ended. Payton was not alone. He was in terview ed along with Hodges and Cooper on television; he was inter viewed at the mobile unit of one of the two local radio siations; union ists ran up to him to say a word or two or shake his hand usually ,bcth. And when Governor Hodges left again escorted by two Highway Pa trol cars he was cheered wildly by the strikers, who, only a fev long hcurs before, had had nothing but animosity for him. The strikers cheered because they were relieved. And they were re lieved because they were tired of the strike. They didn't want the strike. They were led into it by the ur.ion officials. But the strikers were faithful never grumbling, ex cept to say a harsh word against mill officials or against the Governor. To the strikers who had lined the streets around the mill since the afternoon, the Governor must have ing black Cadillac. But the Governor too was relieved. The f.trike had been a migraine luadaclie for him and the whole state for 22 weeks of struggling, talking, planning and suffering. And as the Governor rode off into the night in his jet black mount, the cheering continued. It was a time for gaiety. A headache is no fun.

Carolina Old PI ay maker Is Directing UNC Play In Copenhagen Kai Jurgensen, on leave from the Carolina Playmakers this year, is director of a play which just opened in Copenhagen which promises to be a highlight of the Danish 1959 theater season. Jurgensen who is in Denmark on a Fulbright Fellowship made a sug gestion that a long-forgotten play by a famous Norwegian author be tak en out of moth balls and produced. His suggestion was accepted; the play opened April 10. How did Jurgensen happen to know of the forgotten play? Because the author of the play Agnar Mykle was a student at the University of North Carolina seven years ago. Mykle was a Fulbright Scholar at UNC. His play "Morning in Yellow Orange" was produced at the Caro lina Playmakers Theater, with Nan cy Henderson directing. When Jurgensen got to Copen hagen last year and studied at the 4& i i j 1 7 - : M CAROLINA PLAYMAKERS IN COPENHAGEN Conferring on the Copenhagen production of "Morning in Yellow Orange" are, left to right, Prof. Kai Jurgenson of the University of North Carolina De partment of Dramatic Arts; Arne Weel, director of Alle Scenen in Copenhagen, and Agnar Mykle, Norweigan author who wrote the play seven years ago when he was a Fulbright student in Chapel Hill. Mykle is now a famous Scandian author. Jurgensen advised that his Carolina Playmaker produced play be presented in Denmark. Royal Theater and taught at the University of Copenhagen, he found that "Mike" Mykle, as he was called in Chapel Hill, was Scandinavia's most famous current author. He has written three novels and several volumes of short stories. The former Carolina Playmaker. says Jurgensen in a letter to Chap el Hill friends, is "so much of a celebrity and a national hero that he cannot step out of his door in Norway without being pursued by autograph hunters." One of his recent books, "The Song of the Red Ruby," created a squabble. There were those who thought it obscene. A court suit was brought against the book. My kie won the suit, and the resulting publicity boosted the sale of his book. "It was Ulysses-type porno graphy," writes Jurgensen. In a casual conversation with a Copenhagen literary agent, Jurgen sen urged the agent to read the play Mykle had written in Chapel Hill seven years ago. The idea caught on, the play is being produced with some of the finest actors and actreses in Den mark. Director Arne Weel of Alle Scenen Theater in Copenhagen is producing the play, Jurgensen de clares that if the play is as big a. success as he expects it to be, he will take it also to Helsinki, London, Oslo, and Stockholm this summer.
