TO THE EDITOR:


A COUPLE of times lately I
have noticed your editorials
about the Youth for Christ

You are 10 be highly COM

Is il not true that in such en-

both in we'll being and char

When you bemoan the fact
that IL has taken some of US so
long TO discover the happiness
in the singing, games, motion
pictures, lectures, hikes. plcnlcS,
character study and other di-
versions OF youth gatherings,
have you a SIX 2 d yourself the
reason why there is an awak-

The answer in part is because

Let us have papers enobled

~ the conflict between Mus
solini and the King Victor Em-
maaueD II is important TO re-

brought fasciSm into being
Conflicts fiared throughout
the years between the king and
MusSollni over their positions.
The first real encounter came
in January, 1925, when all par
ties ether than the Fascist
party were suppressed.
The king felt that henceforth
the monarchy was no longer a
constitutional PAL ia mentary

no longer any alternatives in

Dear Mr.. Hearst:

Mr. William Randolph Hearst,
San Simeon, California
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
Hearty thanks and congratulations due the
Hearst Boston newspapers for their unusual cooperation
putting before the public the story of the need for
development of the Port of Boston.
There is doubt but that the series of excellent
interviews by George f. Brady featured successive
issues of the Boston Sunday Advertiser and the out
standing coverage and editorial support by the
Record and American played a large part in arousing
the community to action this emergency problem.
SO excellent job in public information deserves.
and am sure the thanks of thousands Of per-
sons who would not take pen in hand to say so.
! think that | speak in their behalf as well in
behalf Of the leaders of many groups which banded
together in the greater Boston development committee
in expressing appreciation for the service which the
Hearst Boston papers have rendered to the community.
Very truly yours,

the Musicians Union. for deter
mining once and for all that
William Shakespeare was a mu-
seal comedy writer and not a
serious legitimate dramatiSt, as
the, hlghbrows would have US
believe.
MIR. Pctrillo, who has an un-
crring gift for gong 10 the
heart of a matter. has decreed
that The Tempest, now play
ing in Manhattan. is a musical,
and that the producers must
hire a minimum Of is musicians
AZ S92 a week each, which is the
rate for guys who toot for a
song and leg show.
The thcater men, who always
seem 10 be trying 20 put some
thing over on Mr.. Petrillo, made
the obviously flimSy retort that
Shakespeare wrote only plays
and that any music 10 be found
in The Tempest was purely
incidental
Mr.. Petrillo replied. in effect,
that he didn't care what kind OF
music il was. The show had

TRY II and you will see you

great sculptor, Gustav Borglum,

Lincoln's face was always mel

there is little doubt that If Lin

anyone-even a theatrical pro-
ducer-can summon the courage
10 contradict Mr.. Petrillo when
he gets logical. His logic is
positively devastating.
IT SEEMS 10 me this is an
Il issue for Congress. Our elected
representatives have debated al
most everything else, including
" het her A congreSSwoman

L day that the maritime COM
mission granted a special dis
pensation in favor Of the great
state Of Kentucky. II permitted
the victory ship, Bardstown,
named for the Kentucky town,
to be christened with bourbon
whisky instead OF champagne.
The maritime commission was
playing smart because Ken
tuckians have strong feelings
about their bourbon. They dem
onstrated this back in 1898 at
the launching of the battleship
Kentucky. The plan was TO
christen the ship with r bottle
of spring water from Abraham
Lincoln's birthplace but a goodly
number Of daughters of Old
Kentucky showed up with small
bottles of bourbon-which they
let fly as the ship moved down
the ways.

Ter of Kentucky, 10 ask how he
stood on bourbon versus cham
payne for the Bardstown launch
ing.
you may say I stand solidly
and unfiinchingly for bourbon"
he said. at Is the finest wine Of
my state, although I personally
eschew II. Incidentally, To add
to your stroke Of knowledge, this
particular whisky was named
for Bourbon County, Kentucky,
not foreign potentate, as many
seem 10 believe.
This wonderful beverage,
which I personally do not use,
pre-dates 1892 when Kentucky
became the fifteenth state TO
