In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

NeW 4OTk, ApTll f-lLe bIOdQWdy plays are thinning out. And as the dramatic season approaches its cli- max, two rival juries are preparing to huddle in the.~ respective cor- ners, engage il ai; annual orgy of ballot = casting, profound soul- searching and critical legerdemain .. all in preparation for the awards in April to the two aristo- cratic prizes of playdom. These are the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Circle Award.
 The Pulitzer Prize Committee doesn't know what the Critics Cir cle is thinking .. and the latter doesn't seem to care what is going on in the heads of the opposing team.
 When the Drama Critics Circle sits down on April IS to pick a winner, a total of eight current plays-the cream of the season. will be considered as probable con- testants. An octet including:
 Marc Blitzen,s dynamic operetta. "The Cradle Will Rock" which rings the welkin for the proletariat so resoundingly.
 Paul Vincent Carroll's superb and searching play of clashing Irish minds, Shadow and Substance"
 Thornton Wilder's scenery-less but poignant play about the simple hopes and dreams and tragedies of the folk in Growers Corners, Our Town"
 Maxwell Anderson's "The Star Wagon" an evenings excursion into time and space.
 of Mice and Men," John Stein beck's own dramatization of his fa- nous short novel.
 "On Borrowed Time" Paul Os- born's play-version of the enchant- ing book by Lawrence Watkins.
 "All the Living" a last-minute ad- dition to the list This is the drama by Hardie Albright which, adapted from the book, T Knew 5000 Lun- atics," dramatizes the difficulties of the medical staff in an insane asy- lum.
 Quality Quartet
 From that card of eight, the Broadway clairvoyants would like to narrow down the field to four.
 They have examined each critics previous tastes in plays and from this speculative research, claim that the hottest contenders for the much-coveted award are Our Town," Shadow and Substance" "The Cradle Will Rock" and "Of Mice and Men"
 And it will be an interesting verbal fight, for the calibre of the drama has been high this year and the boys will have to be rugged hair-splitting controversialists when they air their personal preferences under lock and key.
 Lightning-Twice?
 | Except for "Shadow and Sub- stance" which is 8 foreign work and therefore ineligible for consid- eration, the Pulitzer Prize Commit tee probably will choose from that same list of plays.
 The Pulitzer Awards are an nounced within the same week a. the other Is broadcast to the world and long prospering would be any play which should happen to w:r laurel wreaths from both groups.

It is interesting to read that the Cister- clans have returned to thel1 abbey of St. Nicholas at Fiona on the eastern shore of Lake Como after an absence of five centuries. The abbey was famous as center of religion and art, and the re- turn of the monks of St. Bernard is due to the generosity of an Italian con- mander and his mother in memory of relatives massacred in Africa

work, and further said--"For over half century the requirement. has contributed to active development of the mineral resources of the public domain. The thousands of acres now exempt upon which assessment work would have to be performed would bring into local communities considerable m one y and restore a means of livelihood to many who have relied upon this means of employment in the past, which would, it is believed, more than counterbalance any hardship to the limited number of claim owners too poor or otherwise un- able to do or have the work done. ,
 Requirement Evaded
 By inclusion in the Act of pro vision that it would not apply to any claimant not entitled to exemp- tion from payment of Federal in come tax for the current year, an effort was made to limit the ap- plication of the Act to those who could not afford to hire assessment work done However, it was found that this was not effective because a number of ways were devised for evading the requirement.. The loop hole most commonly used who could afford to have the work done was to organize a corporation for the purpose of holding undeveloped claims, which, of course, would have no income until the claims were actually developed into pay ing mines
 Notwithstanding the adverse de- partment report on the bill last year the House Committee reported the bill out because prospectors were not put on notice that the practice of granting moratoriums from year to year would be dis continued. The report, however, stated that any further attempt to waive the annual assessment work or payment will not be con- sidered.' When the measure was placed before the President, it is said that he signed it with re- luctance and said that he too was only approving it then because the miners and prospectors had not been given earlier notice of dis

there will be no further grounds for statements claiming discrimina tion between the Territory and the States in this respect, however, for all indications are that Congress will refuse to enact the law to apply even in the States this year. At the present time no bill for this purpose has been introduced in the House, and no action has been taken on the bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Johnson of California, which would provide for further suspension of assessment work requirements. It is generally believed that this bill will not even be reported to the Senate.
 Refuses Consideration
 However, should the bill be re- ported and passed by the Senate, the House Committee on Min S and Mining has committed itself to refuse to consider such legisla- tion this year, so the probability of the bill passing the House is approximately zero. Last year the Secretary of the Interior made an adverse report on the bill then under consideration, and in this report it was pointed out that inn provement in the metal markets since the low point of 1882 was such that his condition no longer warranted further suspension of this requirement, and that the con- tinuance of such suspension would prevent increase in employment and wages paid for assessment

Forthcoming battle to try to force

The issue, together with other

RELIEF COSTS
CUT INDICTED
Hopkins Says President
Visibly Cheered by
Economic Outlook

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. a.
(UP) - Harry Hopkins, federal
relief administrator, indicated last
night after a series of conferences
with President Roosevelt that re-
lief expenditures might DE slashed
during the next fiscal year.
Hopkins emerged from his con-
ference with the president obvi-
ously cheered by the report he was
able to submit on the nations eco
nomic outlook.
Asked what recommendations
he would make as to new appro-
priationS, he observed:
81 do not know what it will be,
but undoubtedly it will be figure
related to a smaller WPA thar
we have now.'
Explaining that he discussed
with Mr.. Roosevelt the rise in
business and employment and It's
bearing on the relief program,
Hopkins said:
81 look to see the relief curve
in America go down at an early
date, possibly before election, in
spite of what some political enc
mics think.
"The old charge that we shove
up the relief rolls before election
and cut them down Immediately
thereafter is a lot of nonsense"
Hopkins, who said goodbye to
the president preparatory to a
swing across the country, said in
response to questions that he talk"
ed of next years relief approprla-
ton only generally, pointing out
that Mr.. Roosevelt does not expect
to receive estimates from him I'M
til the middle of December.
The WPA administrator, who
has been a guest at the summer
white house for a week, said ne
was going first to Chicago where
today he will confer with Cover,
nor Henry Horner of Illinois and
make a speech. Later he plans a
broad conference with WPA ottl-
Gals from midwestern states for
a survey of mutual problems.
