Sultry Strippers Stop Slinky Shedding
Chicago —(U,P)— Sultry but ambitious strip-teasers, forced out of work by a labor dispute, hoped they could start taking 'em off again today so they can earn some cash for Christmas shopping.
Not a zipper was unzipped along the honky-tonk rows in Chicago and suburbs last night.
The American Guild of Variety Artists ordered the entertainers to stop work in four night clubs to back up AGVA demands that $2.50 a week for each performer be paid into a union "welfare fund."
The resolution asked the AGVA to withdraw its order against the four night clubs so that harmony could be re-established in the business and the girls could go back to peeling tonight.
The Chicago Cafe Owners' association retaliated by ordering all its members to refuse employment for their strippers.
A plan for the future nitrogen plant in Lawrence involving the exchange of Kansas-made lubricating oil for German-made equipment was presented before the Consumers Cooperative association today in Kansas City, Mo.
Howard A. Cowden, president and general manager of the giant cooperative, said exchange of oil for machinery for the Lawrence plant, if it developed, would involve shipment of oil from the CCA refinery at Coffeyville to a Swedish cooperative.
Oil Exchange Plan Set for New Plant
The Swedish concern would buy German equipment and forward it to CCA. Such a deal, he said, would get around the Swedish and German dollar shortages.
The cornerstone for the $15,000,000 plant was laid yesterday in a ceremony held in connection with the association's three-day convention in Kansas City. The session was to end today.
A representative of CCA recently returned from Germany with a report of the possibilities.
Lab Theater to Present 'Second Shepherd's Play'
Others in the cast are Max Zent, college sophomore, as the first shepherd, Coll; Bill Means, business junior, as the second shepherd, Gib; Ernest Dade, college sophomore, as the third shepherd, Daw; Maurice Casey, education junior, as the angel; Mary Rigor, fine arts freshman, as Mary, and Kenneth Plumb, college freshman, as Joseph.
The 14th century "Second Shephers' Play" to be presented by the Laboratory theater under the direction of Tom Shay, instructor of speech, will be greatly different from the usual Christmas play.
As the introduced farce elements diverged more and more from the religious motif, the church felt it should no longer present them. Town guilds took over the plays, and eventually monks set them down in writing.
This play, found in a series of miracle plays in old manuscripts in Yorkshire, England, was originally given in churches as an expansion of mass, Mr. Shay said.
The play will be performed at 8:45 p.m. Saturday for the faculty Christmas party in Strong auditorium. It will be given for the public at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, and at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16, in the Little Theater in Green hall.
As years went by, humor was added as lay people began to act in them. Casts got too big and the plays were moved to the church's steps.
"The latter part of the play is a very sincere, religious adoration scene." Mr. Shay said, "but in the early part two definitely farce characters are introduced in addition to the three shepherds."
Mark Gilman, education junior,
plays Mak, and Shirley Strain,
college senior, plays his wife, Gill-
the two comic characters.
Dan Palmquist, instructor in
speech, and John White, graduate student, are doing the lighting. The setting "will be in flavor, but not imitation" of the 14th century, Mr. Shay said.
An angel choir of six to eight voices will be made up of members of the University Women's glee club. Wardrobe mistress is Patricia Dialab, college freshman. John Hankins, professor of English, is adviser.
United Nations, N.Y.—(U.P.)—Secretary General Trygeye Lie warned a group of close-mouthed Americans employed by the United Nations they must decide today whether they want to answer senate committee questions on Communism or lose their jobs.
'Talk or Quit,' Lie Tells UN Reds
Informed sources said Mr. Lie handed down the talk-or-be-fired ultimatum in letters sent to employees who had refused to answer certain questions asked by the McCarran Internal Security subcommittee.
Mr. Lie said he wanted the unwilling witnesses to notify him by letter today they had informed the McCarran group they would answer questions they previously had ducked.
The informants said Mr. Lie was
heeding the advice given last Sunday by a team of three eminent jurists who recommended the firing of any employee belonging to the U.S. Communist party or refusing to talk about alleged subversive activities in this country.
A grand jury in New York also issued a presentment Tuesday charging there is a "concentration of disloyal Americans" in high U.N. positions.
The grand jury also charged that the Justice department had interfered with its investigation. Shortly afterward, Chairman Frank L. Chelf (D.-Ky.) said his House subcommittee investigating the Justice department had begun an inquiry immediately into the grand jury's charges.
chell of the U.S., Sir Edwin Herbert of Great Britain and Prof. Paul Veldekens of Belgium—had advised Mr. Lie to dismiss employees who:

French Vote Lauds Pinay
Paris —(U.P.)— Premier Antoin
Pinay's "save the france" government won its first formal confidence test today on his record $11 billion budget.
The National assembly approved his demand to start discussing the controversial budget measure immediately.
The unofficial 312 to 205 victory for Mr. Pinay was assured immediately before the vote was taken when Jacques Soustelle of the French People's Rally of Gen. Charles de Gaulle announced its 85-member faction would abstain.
Trade journals said members of a syndicate that bought Hughes' interest in the studio were anxious to sell it back to him and the fate of the big studio might be decided within a few days.
The vote automatically substituted a general debate on the budget for a scheduled foreign policy discussion.
Hughes May Re-buy Big RKO Studios
But it does not assure Mr. Pinay of success in his fight to push his record French budget through as it stands.
The crucial test of his control will come next Tuesday on a scheduled confidence vote when Mr. Pinay attempts to force the assembly to discuss his budget projects without change.
