Tennessee Williams, 31-year- old

claims with likeable docility and
never embarrasses the discoverer by
talking about the several plays he
has produced. the prizes he has
won, or his profitable term in Hol-
lywood.
AS easygoing as his diluted
Southern accent and as casual as
the sweaters and velveteen jackets
he wears, Tennessee Williams is
taking his place among the critical

gave him an ability to get into the
minds of all sorts of people So
vivid are many of his characters
that his public assumes they must
be faithful facsimiles of people he
has known.
It's Not His Family.
But Williams never intended to
foster the legend that the destitu-

play is the story of his family.
I've been learning lots of strange
things about myself since getting

Congressional Views
On Surrender Offer
Are Divided Sharply
Stewart Would Hang
Emperor; THONGS Sees
No Objection to Terms
By the Associated Press.

Congressional reaction to the
Japanese surrender offer today
based on retention of the En-
peror-was sharply diverse.
Senator Stewart. Democrat, OF
Tennessee said: "I wouldn't give
them an inch. Damn the Emperor
he's a war criminal and I'd like to
see him hung up by his toes. We've
got them whipped. If they want to
surrender Internationally, that's all
right"
But Chairman Thomas Of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
declared that if the Japanese peace
proposal was submitted officially it
ought to be accepted. The Utah
Democrat, who spent six years as
missionary to Japan, found no
objection to the Emperor remaining
in power.
Senator Thomas said the Allies
could deal as sternly with Japan
with the Emperor in power as they
could with a disorganized Japan,
which would result from his removal
Would Give Central Power.
"If we retain the Emperor" he
said, at will give us constitutional
government with which to deal"
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, OF
Wyoming also said he thought sur
render terms such as those broadcast
should be accepted.
Religion is matter of the mind
and the spirit and we should not
attempt to stamp out the Japanese
belief" he said.
Mitchell Wary Of Terms.
Senator Mitchell, Democrat, OF
Washington said if the Japanese
offer was completely within the
terms of the PotSdam ultimatum,
'it would be well to accept it and
get the war ended" He added: IF
it isn't, then the war must 60 on. u
Chairman Vinsen of the House
Naval Affairs Committee said he
saw no objection to the Japanese
retaining their Emperor provided
the necessary controls are put
around him and his authority is
restricted"
