supporters of the civil rights bill
to discuss Negro demands that he

Means Committee was called into
closed session today to consider
the administration's request.
made Monday by Treasury Secre
tary C. Douglas Dillon, to extend
the temporary $309 billion nation
al debt limit through Nov. 30. The
administration proposed the ex
tension rather than ask a boost
in the ceiling '.l this time because

better than it had anticipated.
Urban: Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa.,
said he would intrjduce a bill to

waiting for the reaction from the

With a 10-day run opening
Wednesday night of Rodgers and
Hammerstein's "Flower Drum
Song," Roseburg's little theater
group, the Merely Players, believe
they have another successful sum
mer musical on their hands.
Two years ago the group popped
up with "Damn Yankees" and
made a big hit with it. Though
it was the first time a summer
musical had ever been produced
in this area on a community lev
el, it was played to turn-away
crowds and it was held over for
an extra performance because of
the demand.
Two years ago the group did not
have its own theater. "Damn
Yankees" was presented "in the
round" in the Community Build
ing at the Douglas County Fair
grounds. Players Have Home
Now the Players have a place
to call home and nothing has been
spared to make "Flower Drum
Song" the biggest show the group
has yet produced.
Sets and costuming will be quite
elaborate. The stage has been re
done for this production and boasts
two playing areas one of which
is practically in the laps of the
audience. A special addition had
to be built on the outside of the
theater to hold the sots and props
in the production.
Special costuming was brought
from Portland to lend Chinese at
mosphere to the play. Particularly
elaborate will be a ceremonial
costume worn by one of the lead
ing actresses that is authentic in
every way. It is a uninese wed
ding outfit with full regalia from
head to toe.
Another spectacular part of the
show will be the dance routines.
All of the original 3roadway se
quences have been retained in the
production with the actual routines
worked out by local professional
people. Helen Dyhre, who has
taught ballet and dancing, has
done the choreography. Ralph Pat
terson has also lent his talents to
some of the ballet scenes.

NEW YORK lUPO A Boston,
University sociologist believed to
be the first American survivor to j
return from the earthquake in
Skopje. Yugoslavia, reported him
self still shaken by the experience
Monday night.
Bernard S. Phillips, 32, an as
sociate professor of sociology, who
lives in Lexington, Mass., urrived
here on a jet flight from Bel
grade. He said he had left Skopje
the afternoon of the quake and
did not realize its magnitude un
til he read newspaper reports.
Phillips said he was sleeping in
a third-floor room of tho five
story Hotel Turist when the earth
quake struck shortly after dawn
last Friday. "I was awakened by
a tremor which seemed to last
15 to 20 seconds," he said. "Tho
building was shaking very badly.
"I knew right away that it was
an earthquake. I was afraid, and
I knew that I had to get out as
soon as I could.
"I threw on my pants over my
pajamas, put on my shoes and
grabbed some jewelry I bought
for my wife. 1 went down a stair
way mobbed with people. Many
were yelling and screaming, but
there was no pushing or shoving
"Everyone was standing in the
middle of tho road or in the large,
open squares. Everyone feared
another quake and the only way
to keep away from buildings
tumbling all around was to get
out in the open.
"There was so much debris in
the air you could hardly see any
thing at all. It was the most op
pressive sight that 1 have ever
seen in my entire life."
Phillips was in Yugoslavia on
a two-month research project co
sponsored by Boston University
and the University of Skopje, with
financial aid from the Ford Foun
dation and the State Department.
