crowd ever assembled in such an
area in the history Of the city,
attended the Dance-A-Stamp
Stomp, a street dance covering an
entire city block, from Parish ST.
to Mill ST., on Amite Street, held
here last Thursday night, as an
event for the sale of War Bonds
and Stamps. With cooperation
and consent of city officials, the
entire area was blocked off and
flood lights and street torches
used to illuminate the area, with
the addition of two large search
lights from, the jackson Air Base
Negro soldiers from the Jackson
Air Base patroled the area as
military police, with the coopera-
ton of city police officers, al
though there was not a single in
cident reported during the time.

the Theatres of the State an
nounced that more than $3.50 of
Csc stamps were sold, but at the

which Mr.. LeIlam is the promotion

already begun the plans to stage
another such event on North Far

To Italian Aliens

NEW YORK. Oct. 13 (INS).-
Italian aliens in the United States
will be recognized as friendly"
rather than enemy" aliens after
Monday, Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle
announced today.
Asserting that his action in re-
viSing the regulations concerning
aliens had "the approval of the
President" Biddle summed up his
reasons for making the change in
these words:
1--WE now have the results of
10 months of an unprecedented
exercise Of wartime vigilance.
We have watched these Italians,
these sO-called enemy aliens
We have investigated, we have
acted on the slightest impulse Of
doubt. We have taken no :
chances. And what do we find?
1--WE find that out Of the total
OF 100000 persons. there has
been cause to interne only 228,
or fewer than nine-twentieth Of
one per cent"
limiting at extension of the
friendly" label to other races,
Biddle added:
'T wish TO emphasize that In
thus removing the label of alien
enemy from Italians, we do not
forget that there are other
loyal persons now classed as
alien enemies"

Porgy. Bess
Audience in
Spirit Of War
BY FRANCES GIvENs

THE REVIVAL of "Porgy and

evening was quite as delightful
as the original performance
seven years ago.
Many of the same actors
strolled through Catfish Row
and the George Gershwin tunes
retained all their old-time
charm.
But the audience itself was far
different.
Reflecting the wartime spirit
more than half the men in the
audience were in uniform. most
of the ladies wore street gowns.
and the flowers and Jewels that
deck most openings were lacking.
But the audience was fash
ionable and gay and thoroughly
entertained throughout the eve
ming.
DIR. and Mrs. Archibald Nc
Alpine were among the earliest
arrivals and Mrs. McAlpine wore
her favorite black.
Mrs. Richard Webber, arriving
with Mr.. Webber. wore a fetch
ing gown of soft brown crepe
with a little apron lined with
coral velvet. Her wrap was
brown, too.
Mr.. and Mrs. b. f. Hutchin-
son hurried in just at curtain
time. the lady looking lovely in
emerald green and a short silver
fox cape.
We also saw Mrs. Harry n.
Torrey, Mr.. and Mrs. John Gar

Batter AL ThrOuSh'
Famed British Jurist TO See His First Game
Today, and Report on the 'Whacks

Sir Norman Birkett. KC.. JP..
famous British jurist, will see the
Tiger-Athletics game today out at
Briggs Stadium.
Sir Norman is in the United
States to address American bar
associations, but that has become
secondary TO his study of the
American national pastime.
One of Brtain's finest legal
minds. he already has fully
digested softball. He described a
softball game he had seen:
ct was played on an unused
property. not a ball field you
know. One chap, the keeper, I
believe. stood behind.
Another fellow with a bat
stood In front of him and a third
fellow stood further out i'm front.
HE WAS ALL THROUGH
"Thls chap sort OF Iobbed the
ball TO the man with the bat.
1.-THE fellow at hat took
tremendous whack at il, but he
didn't hit II full. IL sort OF
twirled around in the air and the
keeper caught u. He was all
through.
"The next man hit the ball
and Immediately ran TO the first
point"
Assured that what he had seen
was pure American scrub softball,
Sir Norman remarked it was
somewhat like a game British
children play:
FIRST BIG LEAGUE MATCH
e. where you whack the
ball with your hand and run for
the first point. II some one
throws the ball and hits you be-
fore YOU reach there. YOU are
out. It's very much similar"
