Pending and unanswered are the
questions: how will he attempt to
obtain supreme court approval of
federal plans for regulations of
labor conditions? Will federal au-
thority be further extended in
fields hitherto reserved to the
states and, if so, whether by the
chance method of filling court
vacancies with friendly jurists or
by placing the issue before the
people in the form of constitu-
tional amendment? The funda-
mental question is one of states

Europe Praises
Reelection of
Mr.. Roosevelt

LONDON, Nov. 5. UP)-The Eur
opean press and many officials who
spoke anonymously were unanimous
today in expressing pleasure over
the reelection of Franklin d. Roose-

This sentiment was reflected not
only in British newspapers and
official circles but also in reports
from many other countries.
The reason for Europes JOY over
Mr. Roosevelt's success was due
primarily to the feeling of officials

And took the vows which made OF

A happy groom and bride.

My heart was light as air;

Could be a happier pair.
For two years now I've walked

AS sadly on life's lonely road
I plod my weary way.
But soon? when done with care

Beyond the azure skies
Wen meet, and / shall see again
The live-light in your eyes.

With the Amateurs

,Glass of Truth: A Tragedy Of the
Ludicrous" for the first time in
many years.
Although it happened week
ago this evening, we crave your
indulgence while we digreSs from
current theatrical affairs for the
nonce and do a bit of reflecttng
on one of the most unusual pro-
auctions for many, many months.
We refer, of course, to the pro-
duction of Shakespeare's The
Merchant of Venice" produced
by the Children's Community
Theater under the direction of
Helen I. Burton, which was pre-
sented at the Theodore RooSe-
welt High School on May Is.
The production the children
staged was a play in the sense
Of a story being enacted upon
the stage. After a study of the
plot of the drama and careful
analysis of each character, the
children built the play in their
own words and actions. There
were no set lines to learn, no
bits of action to initiate, but
there was a play which grew out
of their own minds. imaginations
and emotions.
This natural manner of build
ing a play equipped the youthful
actors that they can freely ex-
change roles. with a resulting
poise and spontaniety which does
not come when lines are mem
orized and actions initiated.
While on the subject of the
Children's Community Theater
one should say a word about
Miss Burton, the director. We
cannot say much. for that pro-
duction itself is greater testimony
to her superb work than we can
put into words. She is doing q
magnificent task, a job easily
conceived as being we'll nigh
impossible, yet she is accom-
plishing her end.-Bob Hurleigh.
