Tragic Life's Story
Of Inventor of PRINTING
To Be Enacted

The heart-rending story of Johann
Gutenberg, the German goldsmith
who turned to printing and after a
series Of setbacks achieved MASTER
piece, will be depicted in the eighth
OF the Road to Freedom" programs
tomorrow at $3.50 pm. over Station
WMAL.
The dramatic series is sponsored
by The Star in cooperation with
the Washington Civic Theater,
Georgetown University and the Ma
ttonal Broadcasting Co. Each OF
the plays recalls the courage, suf-
fering and sacrifice of men and
women in the struggle for rights
and privileges today enjoyed in the
United States.
Synopsis of Life.
Simply, the story of Johann Gut
enberg is this: About halfway Of the
18th century he was part-owner of
q little shop in Strasbourg, a master
craftsman in gold and mirrors. With
the aid of friend he secretly in
vented movable metal type-which
he first planned to put to use by
printing copies of the Bible, then
available only in monastaries.
His scheming partners, jealous of
his secret, demanded to share in
his discovery, and over the protest
Of his friend, DR.. Conrad Humery,
Gutenberg recognized their right to
do SO. But it was a mistake, for a
thieving relative of one of the part
ners stole the type and most of the
press, later revealing the process of
printing in Switzerland.
A decade afterward Gutenberg
started anew in his native Mainz,
reconstructing a press, manufacture
ing new type. Another schemer,
this time a money-lender, duped
Gutenberg into borrowing funds to
print his Bible, then cut Off the
supply of money with the job nearly
done. Accused of falling to pay his
debt, Gutenberg's property was
bound over by the court to the
money-lender.
Gutenbergs ambition to print the
Bible was realized, though, when his
old friend, DR.. Humery, set him up
with another printing shop.
History Making Event.
It was history-making, for Guten-
berg's invention of printing has had
more influence on the history of the
world than has the product of any
other one man.
The script for the play was written
by Charles Dillon, radio writer of
the American Red Cross. He COL
Elaborated with DR.. James T. Lowe
OF Georgetown University, who has
done the research on the series.
The players, under the direction
Of F. Cowles Strickland. director of
the Washington Civic Theater. will
include Ted Tenley, as Gutenberg:
