Days Of Cromwell
AreRe-ena(ted in
Freedom Broadcast
GLORIOUS Adventure Is
First in Series Of
Rudio Programs

The adventurous days of Oliver
Cromwell and the "roundheads"
were brought to Washington radio
listeners last night by Civic Theater
players in the first of a series of
radio broadcasts on Road to Free
dom," sponsored by The Star with
the cooperation Of the National
Broadcasting Co. and Georgetown
University.
The successful opening program
was centered around the period from
1912 to 1649 when Cromwell led the
revolution against the monarchy and
the theory of the divine right of
kings and instituted rule by Parlia-
ment.
Historical Figures Background.
The historical figures, however,
were only background in the play.
'The Glorious Adventure" in which
young farmer who refused to yield
to the oppression of a lord of the
manor was the chief character.
Harrison Libbey, known to WASH
ington followers of the Civic Theater,
played the part of the young farmer
and Nancy Hutchinson the role of
his sweetheart, Joan, who feared for
their happiness because Of his de-
nunciation of the rulers of the land.
Others in the cast include Norman
Rose in the part of Hugh Peters,
chaplain to Cromwell; Joe Bourne
and Dixie Clendenan, the parents
of Joan, and Paul Walter, lord of
the manor.
Also participating were Betty Rice,
Donald Sisler, Edward Stevlingson,
George Finger, Ted Tenley, Robert
Anderson and Richard Gee.
Language Is Modern.
F.. CoWles Strickland director of
the Civic Theater for the last two
years, directed the cast for the pro-
duction. The play was written in
the language of the present by
Charles Dillon, in charge of radio
work for the Red Cross. DR.. James
T. Lowe, instructor of history at
Georgetown, worked with Mr.. Dillon
to insure historical accuracy.
Programs on the freedom theme
will run for 13 weeks over Radio Sta
ton WMAL on Saturday nights
from $50 pm. to 9 pm. Next week
the struggle for the bill of rights
in the Constitution of the United
States will be the background for
the dramatization and the week
after that will be devoted to Joan
OF Arc and her part in the breakup
of feudalism. Christmas eve the
broadcast will take up the fight of
the Christians for religious freedom
In Rome in the time of st. Peter.
The series will be supervised by
Bill Coyle, radio director of The Star.

trio property. The field was re-
opened later to include gas prop

decision for competitive show

w. j. OBrien, president of the
Memphis company, in a letter to the
City Board of Light and Water Com
missioners, said the utility was ready
to carry out the September agree
ment calling for transfer of the util-
ity's electric properties only for $13,-
100000. OF this T. v. A. was to have
paid 100000 for certain lines.
But since 1t was not the desire of
the city to go through with this,
Mr.. O'Brien said, the company has
reduced its electric rates to the
level of those charged for T. v. A.
electricity. Memphis is distributing
to about $500 customers. The util-
ity's new rates represent a reduc-
ton in its charges from IS to 40
per cent. The city withheld imme-
Qlate comment.
Ready to Negotiate With T. v. A.
Mr.. O'Brien said that in addition
to the rate reduction the company
stood ready to negotiate immedi-
ately with T. v. A. for our power
requirements in the city and ad-
jacent territory"
Mr.. OBrien said the September
agreement was made at "a great
sacrifice" of the utility's electric
properties, but that it was entered
into "by reason of the federally-
financed destructive competition
to which we are being subjected" /"
That situation does not apply to
the gas properties, he asserted, and
the price which you now suggest
for the combined properties is less
than one-third of the combined es-
tablished rate base"
The company said its outstanding
securities represent an investment
of $28,876,0O0. Therefore, the COM
pany said, the city's offer fell
short Of property investment By

KEKER|S LOOMS
AS THREAT FOR
CLOVES TITLE
BY HOWARD JACOBS

The National Guards fighting
youngsters continue to head the
parade in the sixth annual Wash

last week, and gave notice that
he'll be in the thick of. the fight
for the famed golden gloves.
The 19-year1old Greek, who is a
student at Central High School,
set off the fireworks in the second
round of the tournament at Tur-
|ner's Arena last night, and with
his explosive fists eliminated Hike
IBagdassian, last years novice
lfeatherweight champion.
THREAT FOR TITLE
With no novice experience what
soever and only six months of hard
training under the watchful eye Of
Matt Twomey, Kekeris emerged
from the first senior battle as a
chief threat to Carroll Wright. de
fender of the lightweight crown.
He battered his Syrian opponent
with terrific rights and lefts, drop;
ping him three times for counts OF
8, and 9, before the latter called
it a night. True, he took plenty
of straight right handlers on the
jaw, but he took them like vet
eran, and came back and all but
put the cruSher on his foe.
It was by far the outstanding
bout of the tournament to date
and signalizes just what is to come
when the Big Berthas in the open
classes get going next wednesday
night in the same arena. The
Greek was trained to a fighting
pitch; he asked no quarter and
gave none. He kept punching and
punching until his adversary hao
enough.
