which members of the group aim
will be in sight.
The goal, self-imposed, is the
legiate group of adult entertainment
of professional caliber, and
that goal has seemed far off during
the past few years. Still the group
has gone on with its plans for stag

interspersing Broadway hits with
Semi-claSsical dramas and plays
written by students, even though
hampered by production facilities
"Winterset," for instance, was
done in the university gym on an

a nearby church. All of which brings
us today around to the production
of George Washington Slept Here"

aiming at an interesting drama pro-
gram and wanting only the proper
place to present it.

Urqed on Association

Don't get hysterical and worry
Just work all you can for civilian de-

William j. Mileham, deputy air raid
warden of the area.
Mr.. Mileham also stressed the i'm

time as possible to civilian defense
work in the areas in which they
work.
Theodore S. Grape. chairman of
the Executive Committee of Civilian
Defense in the Mid-City area, urged

No enemy planes, except those on

The occupation of the two fish

the Free French apparently has
reused Vichy to indignation. In
fact, anything that Gen. de
Gaulle's forces do infuriates Ad-
miral Darlan. The reason is
more personal than political. Ad-
miral Darlan and his associates
fear that if the Allies are vic

Gen. de Gaulle's turn TO sentence
them to death.
But whatever the reason for
Vichy's anger, unofficial observers
in Washington were amazed at
the State Departments outburst.
If it is true that the Vichy gov
ernment secretly nurses hopes
for an Allied victory, there
could be no reason for this
rather trivial island incident to
become an occasion for declaring
itself completely on the side Of

law specifically providing that So
cialism taught in schools must re-
spect the rights of the individual
and must not be anti-religious was
sent to the House of Deputies by the

The measure said anti-religious
teaching violated the constitutional
provision for freedom of worship. 1t
reaffirmed specifically that educa-
ton in Mexico should be Social
istic." but said it must not touch on
religion and should teach tolerance.
The home would be considered a
factor in teaching. whereas the pre-

were among the others who took
the view that the cooperation
now existing between the two ma
tions must continue in the fu-
ture.
Mr.. Churchill's concluding sem
tence may or may not be truly
prophetic but it bears earnest
consideration by both Americans
and the English. He said, 1T Is
not given to us to peer into the
mysteries of the future; yet, in
the days to come, the British and
American peoples will. for their
own safety and for the good OF
all, walk together in majesty, in
justice and in peace" Much will
depend on the justice of the peace
that is made, when 1t Is made.
After Mr.. Churchill had spoken
he went to the Office of the Vice
President and there the members
of the Senate were presented TO
him. Among the Senators was
Senator Bailey of North Carolina.
1t was his second meeting with
Mr.. Churchill, he recalled. The
first time was in 1882, when Mr..
Churchill was in this country on
speechmaking tour. 1t fell to
Senator Bailey to have the pleas
ant duty of escorting him through
the Senate chamber. The North
Carolina Senator remarked to the
guest at that time:
"Mr. Churchill, I have read a
good deal about your career, be-
ginning with the days of the
Boer War. I have always believed
you would be Prime Minister of
Great Britain"
Quizzically Mr. Churchill looked
at the Senator and replied, Sen
atOr. you are wrong. My future is
behind me-"
1t remained for Senator Bailey
to remind the Prime Minister
how wrong he had been.
