Ali Baba and the Forty
Thieves is to be presented this
weekend in connection with the
DogWood Festival by the Junior
Playmakers. The play, written
and directed by Harry Davis, is
a three-act dramatization Of the
famous Arabian Nights tale,
universally popular with chill
dren and adults alike.
Elaborate preparations have
been made for the production.
Each member of the cast will
wear a costume designed by Mrs.
Harry Davis. These costumes
range from the scanty trunks
and. turbans worn by the slave
boys to the elaborate robes Of
Koia Hassan, the robber chief.
Foster Fitz-Simons is in
charge of the scenery and has
arranged three interesting and
colorful settings. His keynote
is brilliant color and simple lines.
The setting for the first act is
in the home of Ali Baba. The
second takes place in Sesame
Cave, which is an intricate two
stage arrangement showing on
one side the interior of the mag
ic cave, and on the other the
bright hillside Immediately in
front of it. The third act Seen
cry is another representation of
Ali Baba's home.
Phoebe Barr, formerly with
the Denishawn dancers, de-
signed and directed several
dances for the production.

The beer problem TOOK a new
angle in Burlington last week
and this morning there are sew.
eral noted beer guzzlers of the
city walking around with long
faces, sheepish grins and de.
pleted pocketbooks.
Friday night three citizens
overzealous in their desire tc
taste of the new beer and un.
willing to wait until the first OF
May, appeared in a prominent
place in the city to discuss the
situation.
"Well," remarked one, 81
know where we can get bottle
or So"
This announcement served as
a starting signal and the three
were gone for about three quart
ers of an hour.
The temperance of the trio
was boisterous and stormy. One
was waving his hat in one hand
and an auspiciously labeled
bottle in the other.
Don't tell me that this stuff
won't hit you," he Dragged vo-
ciferously.
OnlOokers were amused the
rest of the evening with the an
tics of the three who were GER
tain that they were drunk of
l3.2 beer.
The next morning city officers
made a raid on a well-known
bootlegger and came away with
around five hundred bottles OF
the same beer which the three
had been drinking the night be-
fore.
The three guzzlers were
mournful and they spent all OF
Saturday afternoon consoline
one another over the loss OF
their source of beer
But the real blow came Satur-
day night when statement
was issued that the beer had
been analysed and found to CON
tain only. u of one percent OF
alcohol.
The beer drinkers had been
paying twenty-five cents a bottle
for Budweiser and Carolina
Special. The bootleggers had

APPROPRIATIONS
FOR UNIVERSITY
STILL In DOUBT
None KnOweth What the Ger,
eral Assembly May
Bring Forth
SHARP CUTS CERTAIN

If the Senate does not amend
the revenue bill so that a dead
lock with the House will result,
North Carolina's legislature is
expected to adjourn next week.
Not until adjournment, or
perhaps months afterward, will
anybody connected with state
departments or institutions
know his financial status for the
next two years, though nothing
is more certain than drastic re-
duction from allotments for the
past two years.
A sharply-reduced scale of
appropriations for the Univer-
sity as well as for other state
agencies was about three weeks
ago agreed upon by the General
Assembly after a struggle last
ing three months.
The legislature received the
budget commissions recommen-
dations in the middle of January
setting biennial appropriations
for the Greater University at
$76O,OOO and 1891, 900 for the
branch here
When Governor Ehringhaus
showed his disapproyal of the re-
ductions in that bill and the
joint appropriations committee
raised it's provisions, the Univer-
sity's allotment was reported
into the house at $426,000.
These recommendations were
scrapped as the Bowie-Cherry
anti-sales tax bloc gathered
strength and on the first read
ing brought appropriations for
the University down to $780,
900.
On the second reading the
RoWip- Cherry substitute bill
met a vigorous fight on the floor
of the house and vigorous pro-
tests from all over the state, and
the house sent the bill on to
the senate with figures for the
University at the original
amount set by the budget COM
mission.
The senate returned almost
all of the items to the joint ap-
preparations committees allot-
ments, and the University's fig
ures were again fixed at $426,-
900.
Following a conference be-
tween the house and senate the
lower division accepted the 9TH
er branch's decision and the
amount has remained there
awaiting action on the revenue
measure.-G.W.W.

THREE CONTEST
FOR MAYORALW
OF THE VILLAGE
Two Candidates Are Running
For Judge Chapel Hill
Recorders Court
NO OPPOSITION ON BOARD

On Tuesday, May 2, citizens
of Chapel Hill will go to the polls
in the high school Tin Can to
make their choices for mayor,
judge of recorders court and
three aldermen. Candidates for
mayor are Zeb Council, the in
cumbent; former City Manager
John Foushee and B. ]. Howard.
Odell Sapp and L. J. Phipps are
contestants for the recorders
job.
AS yet. no opposition has been
presented to the reelection of
NJ. E. Hogan, Clyde Eubanks and
J. T. Dobbins who hold the
three positions on the City Coun-
Gil which are to be filled this
year. Registration for candid
ates was closed yesterday. Any
one now desiring to run for of
flee must print his own ballots
for the election Tuesday.
Today is the last day for vot-
ers to register for the municip-
al election. Voters who have
never before been registered for
a town election must see Paul
Robertson, the registrar. be-
tween the hours of nine and
five today before the books are
closed.
From nine until three o'clock
tomorrow at the school building,
the registration books will be
open for examination and chal-
longing Of the 900 or more vot-
ers who are expected to be reg
istered by that time.
The polls will be open Tuesday
from eight O'Clock in the morn
ing until sunset at 6:53 o'clock.
In the last election, two years
ago, 730 votes were cast. Live
ly contests for the positions of
mayor and recorder are expect
ed to bring out a large percent
age Of the voters registered this
year.
BY unanimous vote, the
board of aldermen last Tuesday
reduced the mayors salary from
$270 to 500 a year, acting on
the grounds that the mayors
duties have been taken over
largely by the town manager,
the Judge Of recorders court and
the town accountant. The or
dinance decreeing the cut was
passed purposely before the cleo
tion in order that candidates
might decide whether a VIC
tory would be worth the reward.
The new salary rate will go into
effect July 1, the beginning of
the next fiscal year. Town al
dermen receive no salary.

Colonel Thomas Leroy Kirk
patrick, Mecklenburg county's
fiery state senator and his own
gubernatorial nominee for 1886,
has recently been quite circum-
spect in the manner he blows his
|automobile horn near his own
courthouse.
/ This fact was related in Char
lotte last week as Judge John
NJ. Oglesby, holding the regular
April session of criminal court,
grew hot under the collar with
the conduct of spectators and
called them down a number of
times during the term.
Some time ago, the story told
about the senator goes, Judge
H. Hoyle Sink, conducting
term of criminal court, was
rounding out a hard day which
had lawyers, witnesses, and
even his Honor slightly irritated.
The day was hot and the Win
dows of the courtroom were
open. The normal noise from
the street made it difficult to
hear witnesses and conduct the
business of the court.
Judge Sink was mopping his
forehead as the plaintive note Of
an automobile horn came from
the street. His Honor raised
his eybrows slightly as he first
heard it and then paid it full at
tentiOn as the noise continued
without a break for some ten
minutes.
''Mr. Sheriff." the judge or
dered, ego down on the street
and arrest the person blowing
that horn-no matter who it is"
Deputy McGinnis nodded and
left the room.
In two minutes, the faithful
officer returned, escorting hot
and perspiring Colonel Kirkpat-
rick.

is not letting any news Of proletarian
struggles leak out. All such reports
have to be struggled across the from
tier. .... .,
This Brunswick cable is the first
indication since Hitler took power
that the rank and. file Of the Stahl-
helm, nationalist veterans organiza-
ton, Is rebelling against their lead
erS' policy of cooperation with the
NaziS in the fascist terror regime.
The Hugenberg-von Papan indus
trialists and agrarians who control
the Reich Cabinet majority, depend
upon the Stahlhelm as their own
armed force against the working
class and to re-establish the German
monarchy. This initial conflict be-
tween the Nazi police and the Steel
Helmets reveals how extremely mar
row the social basis Of the fascist re-
gime really is.
The eX-serYicemen and misguided
workers in the ranks of the Stahl-
helm are beginning to revolt against
the fascist campaign of terror en-
deayoring to crush the German work
ing class. The progress of the armed
capitalist offensive against the work
ers will lead to further rank and file
rebellions, not only in the Stahlhelnh,
but even in the ranks Of the misled
Nazi workers themselves.

the proletariat."
This true aim of the fascist re-
gime is further borne out by cable
to Nicholas Murray Butler, leading
Republican conservative and presi-
dent of Columbia University, from DR..
Bertling, head of the Amerika In
stitut of Berlin.
Against BOlsheYism.
Dr., Bertling cables: Present move
ment is against BolSheYism, not
against Judaism"
That is, the major Nazi attack is,
and has been, against the revolu-
tionary German workers. This Is the
prime aim of the fascist Hitler re-
gime-this is what Hitler took office
for.
1t cannot be repeated often enough
that German fascism and anti-Sem-
itism are indiSsoIubly allied. BY re-
naming silent in the face Of the at
rocities committed against the Ger
man workers the bourgeois leaders
condone and approve the fascist anti
working class offensive.
They conceal the fact that the Ger
man working class, headed by
the Communist Party, is and has
been, the only real force aligned in
Germany against fascism and its
blood-ally, anti-Senitism. Wise and
Co. are doing this to keep the Jew
ish masses from struggle not mere
ly against anti-Semitism, but against
all the evil forces Of German faS-
CisIn, for the overthrow of the entire
Hitler regime.
Now that the Madison Square Gar
den mass meeting-which was called
as a result Of the pressure of the
Jewish masses against the sabotage
of Wise, Proskauer and Co.'s over,
the Jewish leaders will use it as a
preteXt for future inaction and for
Sitting any mass action by the jew
ish masses of America.
Boycott Spreading
But in spite of Wise and his gang,
the German boycott movement is
gaining ground throughout the United
States. Orders are being cancelled,
people are pledging themselves not
to buy German goods, and boycotttng
the German steamship lines.
The mass protest Of the jews Of
America is overriding the Wise and
Co. sabotage. The fight against Hit
Ter is being organized on the widest
possible scale, including Jewish, cul-
tural, labor and political organiza-
tions A blow struck at the fascist
regime is the most effective sort Of
solidarity and support Of the German
working class in its heroic struggle
against Nazi fascism.

War Debts Used by United States
for Political Trading
Collection VIII Not Help the Masses
BY Bard

Reconstruction Finance Corporation
loans to banks aided us; no more aid
us than RooseVelt's proposed appro-
priation for forced labor camps.
Not only will they not aid us but
they are vicious threat to all work
ers and farmers because they are a
weapon in the plunge toward another
war.
Instead of aiding imperialist policy
by repeating the Wall Street slogans
that the debts ought to be paid, or
used in exchange for other advan-
tages, the workers and farmers OF
this country should demand imne-
diate and unconditional cancellation
of all state and private debts owing
the United States and its finance
capitalists.
Take the burden of debts off the
toiling masses. This agitation for
cancellation, this fight against Wall
Street international debt policy, Is
inseparable from the fight the farm
ers make against their own debts.
The toiling masses should realize that
the fight for debt cancellation is a
fight against the worst enemies of
the workers and farmers. Cancel all
foreign debts and cancel all debts of
the farmers of the United States to
the bankers and machinery trust and
the loan sharks. Demand that this
bandit government and the finance
capitalists it serves come through with
immediate emergency relief and for
unemployment and social insurance.
These are our demands-class de-
mands against the Uncle Shylock
policy OF pillage and war and inter-
vention.

the former chairman of the Chem

mercial and tariff considerations"
Try To Enlist Home Support.
With its customary receptions the
government tries to enlist the work
ers and farmers and other sections
of the impoverished population be-
hind its war debt policy. 1t tries to
create the illusion that payment of
these debts will aid us in some way,
Well, the payments were made reg
ularly until the past year, and the
misery, suffering and poverty of the
toiling masses has steadily increased.
Taxes have continued to rise. The
billions Of dollars paid went to en-
rich the finance capitalists of this
country and not the workers and
farmers. They used much Of this
money to reinVest in private and
government enterprises in various
countrieS-to extend their power,
until the crisis made such invest
ments quite uncertain. So they
simply pile up this money, and use
the remaining debts to build up
alignments in preparation for an
other war to try to grab more COL
onies, to enslave the peoples of more
nationS-which in turn will pile up
more debts.
Will Not Help Masses.
Far from helping the toiling
masses, these debts used in connec-
ton with the drive toward war will
only make everything worse than
before. The debt payments, if made
(and they will not be- would not
help one worker or one farmer. They
would not cut down taxes one cent.
They would no more aid us than the
