Excellent
eAt Cass
.s--
BY CHARLES GENTRY

LAUGHTER IS not only akin
TO tears. but both spring from the
same source IN The Hasty Heart, -
the Lindsay and Grouse tragi-
comedy which opened at the 'Cass
Theater last night
This third Theater Guild sub
scription Offering is not play in
any of the accepted dramaturglc
senses II is rather a series OF
character studies surrounding one
focal figure
The locale is that OF the ward
of British general hospital in
Burma, and the several beds are
occupied by as varied a group OF
warriors as you might expect TO
find anywhere in the world.
There is an American, a British
Tommy, an Australian. a New
Zealander and native warrior,
all in conUlsive and GONZALES
cent state.
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
There Is nothing particularly
anesthetlc about the atmosphere
OF the place until A newcomer
arrives in the person OF A bel
lieefent young Scot, who is
doomed to die and doesn't know II.
Proud and unrelenting. he re-
jects al efforts on the part OF the
others 10 win his friendship. Even
the charming nurse. who knows
about his case. cannot break
through this wall Of almost in
sulting reserve.
II finally becomes study in
the regeneration OF bitter icono-
clast, pitiful picture OF loneli-
Sess. relieved only by the few rays
f unselfsh devotion on the part
OF the other occupants Of the
ward
This process is as humorous.
despite the grim undercurrent of
the play as il is tender and touch
ing While there is little action
and great deal Of conversation,
there are scenes which will re-
main vividly in your minds eye.
WONDERFUL SCENE
There Is the birthday sequence,
IN which the dour Highlander. who
wants nothing from nobody be-
grudGinglY eiYeS his thanks There
Is also the heart-breaking proposal
OF marriage 10 the sympathetic
nurse. and the final break-dow
OF the lads whole emotional set
up is something long 10 remember
on the stage
Fortunately. Messrs Lindsay
and Grouse have assembled a
superb cast.
We were amazed 10 learn. for
example. that Walter Appler, who
does such a great and ocular job
az the British Tommy. made his
first appearance in that role last
night
bort Clark The Yank. who is

his fnar scene with the Scot was
delivered with tremendous force
Mary Stuart Macdonald, as the
nurse. does beautifully with a
rather ,hankleSs role and both
Lee kresel and Victor Chaplin are
fine in the parts Of the Australian
and the New Zealander.
BRILLIANT ACTOR
But il is really John Dali. who
walks oT with the show. This
tremendously gifted young actor
never plays on the sympathy Of
the audience. but maintains q
rugged chip-on-the-shoulder stfi-
Nude which consorts magnifcently
with the requirements Of the role
He can he tough and sensitive

actors possess lie can also make

Dr. Hinchey Addresses RO= tarians on Danger of
 Social Diseases

Urging that the youth of the na- ton be thoroughly informed on the dangers of venereal diseases pr. Richard J. Hinchey, president of the Health Board declared yesterday that 1t is the responsibility of every citizen to join in the fight to eradl- cate social diseases. Dr. Hinchey spoke before the Rotary Club yester- day noon as part of the current campaign being Waged this month.
 The important control of venereal diseases he said is prevention. While numerous quick and speedy recover ies are possible now through sulfa drugs and the like, the spread of the disease still remains "big business, :" he stated.
 Syphilis, he continued, kills 30,- 900 unborn American babies every year besides making thousands Of other newly born either blind or crippled.
 He emphasized thta during 1942 Selective Service discovered 3 mil lion cases of venereal diseases.
 "Gonorrhea and syphilis can be cured easier and quicker than ever before," Dr. Hinchey said, be cause of new chemicals, such as sulfa drugs and penicilin."

 Mrs. Alexander's report lists youthful restlessness, bad housing, working parents, inadequate play time facilities. and V-girl psychology lmong the problems that the Pearl Street Neighborhood House must meet.
 The report estimates that the colored population in Waterbury is rapidly increasing from the census figure of 1940 which placed 1t at 2,015, and points out that about a hundred Negro families are home owners and more than a score of these are living outside of what is considered the Negro area. The To- cation of Negro homes has been changed to large extent by war housing conditions, the report states and as a result, Negro children liv- ing in areas which make Neighbor- hood House facilities inaccessible should be cared for by existing agencies within that area.

the good things of life for his fam fly.
 T feel very deeply that this kind of a world is worth fighting for fighting for not only on the battle fronts but in the legislative halls in Washington, in Hartford, and in every other state capital in our Na- tion."
 This objective cannot be obtained unless the loving nations oi the world agree to cooperate fully ana freely so that war will be out laWed, he said. Already a tremen- dous start has been made in that di- rection, he pointed out, with the Dumbarton Oaks, the Breton Woods and the Black Sea conferences.
 We are already working on the mechanics of securing an orderly economic world on the international front Senator McMahon continued "It is of the highest importance that we proceed on the homefront to make sure that we have stability, a high plateau of stable. ordered production
 ITO have full employment we must have high national income. Today we know our nation income must reach figure of at least $150,- O00,O0000 a year If we are to have full employment. The alternative is the inevitable return to the days of depression and unemployment and distress.
 Our main reliance in furthering this program of full employment at home must be private enterprise. yield to no one in my admiration Tor the capitalistic system which has made America great.
 There remains the possibility that private enterprise will not be ready yet to assume it's full responsibilities, We cannot afford to gamble on this eventuality. The government must be prepared to take up the slack. The government must stand back of private enterprise, ever ready to lend a helping hand, but never in position to dominate or control.
 We cannot have leaf-raking pro- jects simply to keep men busy, be- cause there is too much constructive work, work which must be done to make America the truly beautiful country we want 1t to be. We have hospitals to build, new highways to construct, public buildings to erect. We must be prepared to change the face of America.
 If we are able to go forward into lives which have been sacrificed on this progressive new world, then the the fields of France, the rocky hill sides of Italy, the sandy shores of the South Pacific will not be i'll vain.

CORONER OPENS
 FORMAL INQUEST
Gas Connections Become Controversial Point in
 Local Fatality

Coroner Stephen A. Homick said last night he would hold an inquest into the death of Albert H. Gaess, 60, 226 Country Club road, who was killed by Illuminating gas fumes which leaked from service pipe near his home whi"l had become cracked with frost.
 In a report to Coroner Homick yesterday, James F. Walker, city plumbing inspector, took issue with the c. L. & P. Co.,, concerning con- ditlons in reference to the gas con- nections on Country Club road.
 MT. Walkers report says in part:
 I cannot agree that rigid con- nection laid two feet four inches below the surface is good practice and I canot agree with Mir Brei- thaupt that frost normally reaches to depth Of two feet when l know it usually reaches three feet in a very mild winter and five feet in severe winters.
 IL would occur to me that if the Connecticut Lie.ht & Power Co. would use a lead gooseneck direct ly on the connection it would im- prove the practice as the lead is pliable and would absorb the strain on the frost expansion; or use a swing joint at the main with stan dard fittings and pipe; or place the main four feet deep instead of three feet.
 Theodore F. Breithaupt says 1t just happened to happen" Because it happened does not bring back. MT. A. H. Gaess olife. What are MT. Breithaupt and the company that employs him going to do to see that this does not "lnppen to hap pen" again when there is rem edy to prevent recurrence?
 Elmer c. Nuesse, associate util- ities engineer of the state public utilities commission, said yester- day that "our rules state that company should lay lines below the average frost line depth, which is about 30 inches. A sfar as I could see on my visit to Waterbury, everything seemed to be accord ing to standard construction" He said he hasn't all the facts at hand yet and will come to Waterbury for the inquest.

Bridgeport, February 13- Real planning will be necessary to pro- vide full employment for postwar America, United States Senator Brien McMahon warned tonight. He spoke at a presentation meeting honoring B Gold Star Mothers of St. Raphael's Church held in Klein Memorial here.
 Pointing out that we have nearly 12,000,000 men in uniform today, Senator McMahon declared that "the test of whether we have won the peace will be the determination of what they come home to-"
 Our men must come home to a world in which they have an im- portant part" he said. They must return home to find that they are wanted and needed in our program to make America better and brighter place in which to live and work"
 Period of Discomfort
 Senator McMahon recalled the period following the Armistice in 1918 when the veterans returned to civilian life to find that no plans had been made for them. It was a period of discontent and distress followed by the so-called return to normalcy, he siad.
 After this war we don't want the kind of nor1nalcy that breeds gambling, that leads to inflation that means disaster" he warned. We want steady, orderly return to the ways Of freedom and security, a world in which every man has a place, the chance to earn a decent living, the opportunity to provide

For Whom The Whistles Blow! School Board Discusses Confusing System and Leaves It More
 Confused!
resent education department

Present education department rules authorizes the school super intendent to close any of the city's schools because of stormy weather, it was disclosed last night at a meeting of the Board of Education during a lengthy discussion on the school situation during last weeks severe storm.
 Commissioner Harold Parkinson made motion to give Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools, authorization to suspend high school classes during stormy weather, but the motion was ruled out when Raymond F. Stone, board president, read an existent rule which states, "In case of very stormy weather the superintend- ent may suspend any of the schools"
 The commissioners pointed out an impression existed last week that the education department had no right to close high schools, and that only grammar school classes could be called of during inclement weather. It was pointed out schools throughout the state closed, but no ruling was made on local high schools until noon after only small number of pupils reported.
 It was suggested the school sup erintendent establish contacts with local radio stations to give signals to students on closing of schools because of weather con- ditions. Reference was made to the confusion which existed dur ing the recent storm, and inability of teachers and pupils to establish contact with officials sources to determine whether or not there would be classes.

Truck Tires
 Output Good

New York, Feb. IA - U.PD - The nations rubber industry has produced more than 40,000000 heavy duty truck tires since Pearl Harbor despite the seizure of 90 per cent of the worlds natural rubber sources by the Japanese.
 The Rubber Manufacturers Asso- citation reported today that this was done by dipping into stocKpile of natural rubber while creating new synthetic rubber industry.
 While the making of rubber from coal, petroleum and grains was being mushroomed from a labora- tory process into huge synthetic rubber plants, the tire industry went ahead at full speed making the es- sential military tires from the pre- cious stockpile of crude rubber which had been accumulated before Pearl Harbor," the report said.
 The association disclosed that this nations stocks of crude rubber had increased from $500 tons at the end of 1889 to peak of 629,0OO tons at the end of the first quarter of 1942, making it possible to keep our war forces supplied with tires while the new synthetic industry was set up.
 By the start of 1943, substantial quantities of synthetic rubber were being used in making tires" it con- tinued. Tn the first quarter of 1943. about twice as much crude rubber as synthetic was used in making tires. The proportion changed there after, more and more synthetic be- ing used, until the figures for the third quarter of 1944 show 70,884 tons of synthetic being used against 18,766 tons of crude"
 Tn addition to the truck tire pro duction - which the association termed "one of the miracles of our comeback after the disaster at Pearl Harbor" the rubber in- dustry has boosted it's production of tires for places from 38,000 in 1859 to 1,417000 last year.
 The recent upward trend in pass enger car tire production has been reversed since the latest army de- mand for more heavy duty shoes. Output of passenger car tires, which had dropped from 5O,000,000 units in 1941 to 2,5OOOOO in 1942. increased substantially during l944. with the third quarter production 4,909, ,00O tires, a gain Of 100000 over the previous quarter. However, new de- mands have now thrown production of these tires temporarily into re- verse, the association said.
