"Of Thee I Sing" concerns itself
with many national follies, with
Washington and politics and po-
litical machinery as its target. Ac-
cording to the authors, the time has
come when the women voters want
"a perfect lover for President.
Who cares for such major prob
lens as unemployment and mora
forums? But to have a romantic
element, such a candidate must be
handsome and unmarried.
The very election depends upon
a happy ending in his story. How,
they ask, is the national committee
to find wife? Why not an At
lantic City contest? So one is held,
and the prize beauty is chosen. But
it so happens that the hero falls in
love with another girl. and they
campaign together on platform of
America Needs a Happy Ending
Nothing is left unScathed, and the
torchlight professions, the informal
hotel room meeting ground OF the
national committee, a political rally
in Madison Square Garden, the
pageant of the Inauguration, the
hectic life of the White House, the
inconsequential ramblings of the
senate, and the gulhbility of the
American public are ridiculed.
The company, which presents the
musical satire to be seen in Indian
apolis, has been selected especially
for the cities west of New York.
1t includes Oscar Shaw in the
role of "Wintergreen," candidate for
President; Harriette Lake, as the
candidates sweetheart; Donald
Meek, who runs for Vice President;
Cecil Lean, Al Sexton, Paul Ever
ton, Francis Pierlot, Adrian Rosley,
Victoria Cummings, Audrey Christie,
John Cherry, William H. Plingle
and Abe Reynolds.

BY ERIC KEYSER
United Press staff Correspondent

BERLIN. March 25.-The Jewish
War Veterans Association today
handed the United States embassy
in Berlin a statement condemning
'exaggerations" in reports on anti
Semitic acts here, and requested
that it be cabled to the United
States.
Our duty toward our country as
we'll as to the truth leads us to cor
rect reports of alleged Jewish
atrocities" the statement said in
part.
'MaltreatmentS and excuses have
occurred, which we are unwilling to
excuse, but such happenings are
unavoidable in the case of revoiu-
ton and the authorities always have
theoretically interviewed whenever
feasible.
However, those who participated
in the attacks are for the most part
irresponsible elements working in
the dark. We know that the gov
eminent disapproves of maltreat-
ment accorded Jews"
The statement condemned reports
circulated by "So-called Jewish in
tellectuals who sought a safe refuge
spreading news full of exaggera-
tons and harming their own people"

lilies abandoned their homes in a
low section of Evansville.
One death due to the flood was
reported Friday. The body of
Haven Sheets, 40, Wingate, missing
several hours, was found in the
high water of a small stream near
Charlottesville.
Apparently, he had been hurled
into the stream as his automo-
bile left a road and went down an
embankment.
The Wabash river, three feet
above flood stage at Terre Haute,
smashed levee which had pro-
tected the plant of the American
Can Company, causing damage esti-
mated at $4,000. Several residents
of West Terre Haute left their
homes. At Vincennes the river is
nearly two feet above flood stage.
Lower stages are reported in
White river. which is falling as far
south as Edwardsport.

BALTIMORE, Md, March IS.


BALTIMORE, Md, March 25. -
Libby Holman Reynolds claim to a
share of the r. j Reynolds tobacco
millions for her infant son has been
placed before the Baltimore circuit
court for decision.
The Safe Deposit and Trust
Company, trustees Of the Reynolds
estate, asked the court to take juris-
diction over the estate and deter
mine the share to which various
claimants, including the former
Broadway torch singer, are entitled.
Neither the company, nor its at
torneys would reveal the value of
the estate, widely reported to APP
proach $1OO000,00O. The will of R.
j. Reynolds is understood to have
left about $2OOOO,OO in trust for
Smith Reynolds, Miss Holmans
husband, who died of mysterious
gunshot wounds at Winston-Salem
N. c., last summer.
The trustees asked the court to
rule on the validity of the divorce
of Smith Reynolds first wife, Ann
Canon Smith, and his subsequent
marriage to Miss Holman. The pc
tition said the legality of the first
wife's Nevada divorce had been
questioned.
The court also was asked to de-
termine the validity of Smith Reyn-
Odds will which has been filed in
