Yes, Sandy" Maybe gentle
ness would soothe thu savage
breast or whatever the old quota
ton said.
Sorry. Judy, then I have no
alternative" In half . gesture he
had caught both wrists In one
hand and was binding them to-
gether with q piece Of heavy cloth
which he drew from his pocket.
Judy decided instantly that shs
must not show fear. She made
her voice low and held II 10 it's

Judy couldn't answer. She bit

With cry Of anger he snatchsd
II away. Judy made for the door
but he reached her In two svift
leaps. This time he worked fast
and his eyes were steely.
He bound her legs. tossed her
over one wide shoulder as though
she were q bag Of flOur. and
raised the window higher which
led 10 the balcony. He crossed
the window sill. braced himself
for the climb down ths rose trel-

All the anger flared higher In
Judy. Sandy grinned again. mat
gay and reckless smile that
showed white teeth and narrowed
his eyes until they were caught
in a web Of laughter lines.
There was something about that
grin that made her want 10 kick

the contrary, 1t Is sometimes vague,
diScursive and too often static.
These faults in lesser literary men
would be more tolerable. In Stein
beck's case they leave an irritated
sense that something wonderful is
being lost in a drama season that
has had nothing of wonder in it.
The expected and implied great
ness in The Moon Is Down" seems
most denied in the sparse produc-
ton and the direction Of the play,
not in the capable cast which Is
headed by Otto Kruger and Ralph
Morgan. 1t is one-set play, the
set living room. Outside Of 1t
a fine little nation has been invaded
and manacled. Outside of it the
little people go quietly about their
heroic task of conquering the con-
queror. That's action life or
death struggle . but it is all on
the outside. Inside the living room
it is mostly talk, fine, dramatic, wise
and encouraging talk. but just that
and very little more. 1t is not enough
for play, especially not Stein
beck play when one remembers "Of
Mice and Men"
The people who do Steinbeck's
talking are a varied and engaging
lot. never identified as to nation
aiity, but rather clearly those Of
Nazi Germany and Norway. Their
humanity, which is Steinbeck's VIM
ming humanity, is almost enough
to give his play a grace and warmth
to save it from its own inanition.
Almost, no more than that.
His central figures are a phil
osophic colonel a kindly man mis-
cast as conQueror but under orders
which he must obey, and the gentle
little mayor who epitomizes the
terrifying moral might of those who
refuse to be enslaved. They are
pair of fascinating figures in
fascinating conflict, but it is almost
purely philosophic. What action
takes place behind the respective
PHILOSOPHERS is left to lesser char
acters. These include the girl
widowed by the invaders firing
squad the Sniveling and denatured
quisling grocer who paved the way
for the conquest, the sensitive in
vading army captain who breaks
under the cold and terrible loneli-
ness which the townspeOple impose
upon him, the elderly maid in the
mayors home who hurls boiling
water upon the soldiers who peer at
her through her kitchen window.
These and the several others are
wonderful people, deeply lovable or
hateable.
Between them all sorts OF ideo-
logical conflicts rage. The girl in
her loneliness must decide whether
to become the mistress or the muir
deress Of the desperately lonely
captain. The colonel with the
gentle heart Is constantly at odds
with his conscience and with q
brutal, martinez subordinate who
jots down every compromising word
he hears from the lips Of his su-
perior.
Steinbeck has written splendid |
touches around the character of !
these varied individuals. Deeply |
are the scenes in which the
mayor decides it is not appropriate
to sup wine with the colonel when
the latter comes to take over his
house, the session between the girl
and the pathetically broken captain,
the maids careful checking to see
that the moral might OF her friends
remains intact despite the invaders
These passages written with such
and truth need only activa-
ton to make Steinbeck's play the
event of the season. Without it they !

Also, unless that is done, some
truly superb acting will have been
waste. Steinbeck's honest writing
Of the warmhearted colonel who
knows armed might can never win
is warmly realized in the per-
formance Of Kruger. So, too, Is
that of the mayors character in the
work Of Morgan. Fine, too, are the
performances of Whitford Kane as
the acidulous doctor, Leona Powers
as the uncomprehending wife of the
elderly mayor, Russell Collins as a
major who spends his time dreaming
OF a railroad he is building back
home.
If Chester Erskin, the director,
can only think Of ways to make it
move, The Moon Is Down" may
yet be the play Of the season as
every one devoutly hoped. And still
may hope!

Ponic-Buying May Force
Anti-Hoording Regulations

Household supplies. under one
proposed provision, might be re-
stricted to the amount reasonably
needed for current consumption as
gagged by normal shopping
period" Normal supply would be
larger for isolated families living
in remote places, where trips to
town are infrequent, than for city
jewellers. The difficulty of estab-
fishing such standards is fully rec
ognized, however.
The OPA hopes. the spokesman
said. to get the cooperation of the
press, radio. Government agencies
and industries in restraining specu-
lation on possible rationing pro-
grams because it feels that such
comment fosters panic-buying. He
said that OPA contemplates asking
Elmer Davis. director Of the ONCE
OF War Information, to enlist the
voluntary support of newspapers,
radio and magazines to this end but
that no censorship was intended.
There were other moves to pro-
tect consumers and to assure satis-
factory ALLEGATION Of commodities.
The OPA warned grocers and
other merchants against trying to
hide price increases by changing
the brand names Of articles they
sell. OPA said 1t had received COM
plants about such practices. par

All Agencies About Her Trip
President Supports
La Guordio on Use
OF Coffee Twice

President Roosevelt thinks
he's an expert on coffee" and
has a formula for stretching"
his ration, his wife told her
press conference today.
Mrs. Roosevelt said the Presi-
dent personally advocates dry
ing out used grounds. adding
about a teaspoonful of fresh
coffee. and boiling again. The
President thus was revealed as
siding with Mayor La Guardia
of New York on the issue Of re-
using coffee grounds.
He says it's quite good" Mrs.
Roosevelt laughed. II wouldn't
kno". It's all the same to me
if I'm drinking coffee, tea or
just hot water
Everybody in the White House
from the President down has
already been put on a ration of
a cup a day, Mrs. Roosevelt
said. The Rooseyelts use a
good deal OF hot milk with their
coffee, she added. The Presi-
dent will continue to have a cup
of coffee and hot milk for
breakfast and a demitasse after
dinner.

Overbuying of food products
by householders fearful of future
rationing programs may force
the Government into adopting
authorizing regulations.
An official disclosed today that
''panic-buying" of foods and other
commodities has become widespread
enough to give the once Of Price
Administration concern.
THE hysteria seems to be getting
near the point where We are forced
to consider the rationing of things
that otherwise wouldn't have to be
rationed," explained the Federal
official, who declined the use Of his
name.
The proposed anti. boarding reg
ulation now under study by the
OPA. he said. would compel pur-
chasers to declare their present sup
ply Of any raticned article they
bought. Any such regulation, he
added. would be difncult to enforce,
since the OPA has no idea Of invad-
ing private homes to inspect food
