 The two met in 1888. With three other stage struck kids, they formed troupe called the Revuers. They wrote satirlcal sketches and songs on current topics, and finally got a Sunday night tryout at $5 piece in a Greenwich Village basement called the Village Vanguard. Later they moved uptown to other clubs, then went to Hollywood to play in a film called Greenwich Village" "

John Steinbeck has found that there's many a slip between the cup of success and the lip.
 The man who wrote the most widely discussed novel of modern literature had his fingers on suc- cess several times; but he got his first prolonged taste of success only relatively short time before Daryl F. Zanuck began his pro- duction of The Grapes of Wrath" :" the Steinbeck story that touched the heart of the nation, which 20th Century-Fox will offer at the Strand theater today.
 Steinbeck was born and reared in Monterey Country, California He wrote nine books before he wrote "'rhe Grapes of Wrath" Two of these sold moderately well. The remainder passed virtually unno- ticed.
 Zanuck, who had long appreciat- cd the power and appeal of Stein beck's writing, made bid for "Thc Grapes of Wrath" as soon as the book was published. This bid was successful and the picture was rushed into production.
 Zanuck selected Nunnally John- son, one Of Hollywoods most bril- liant writers, to do the screenplay and to be his associate producer for "The Grapes of Wrath" Johnson and Steinbcck went over the com plcted script in detail. In the end Steinbeck congratulated Johnson for having fashioned drama which

This sudden affluence is trace able to the fact that Miss Comden and MT. Green have written the book for musical comedy called On the Town" It includes two featured parts for themselves.
 On the Town" is a hit, but that isn't the main point of this story. New York is full of hits this season, but genuine and (luky. The flukes survive on the overflow of disappointed patrons who can't get seats for the more popular shows. "On the Town" Is no fluke, but It's different. And It's distinction is largely the result of the first full-fledged theatrical effort on the team of Comden and Green.
 TELL A STORY
 The 26-year-old newcomers be- gan by tossing the musical com edy success formula into the waste basket. This formula states that the chief purpose of the book, or plot, is 10 kill time between songs and dances. And 1t has worked Tor years, as anyone who ever saw musical can testify.
 But audiences actually get in- terssted in the story of On the Town" The characters behave like human beings. The music (by Leon- ard Bernsteim and the dances (by Jerome Robbins) fit snugly into the plot.

 The topic has always been a good one and Is likely to remain so as long as the institution of mar riage exists. but Gibncy hasn't been able to do much with 1t and the result is poor play.

The story tells of his wife's party for their second anniversary, to which she has invited some old flames, Some girl admirers of the husband also show up. Hubby has to take drunken female guest home and the wife is left crying in her highball amid the debris of tho party.

Of course, nothing really important happens. but the husband isn't sure of this for while and 1t serves to wake him Up to the need for giving his wife more attention.

Juneau's regular season of soft- ball play was closed out last eve ming by tEe Freshman club from the Subpcrt, with a 4-3 win over the Headquarters Company ten. The victory clinched second spot and a Shaunnessy play-off berth for the Frosh. The Blue Jays had already established their hold on first place.
 Headquarters, Old Awkwards and Coast Guard are now on equal basis as far as the two other play-off spots are concerned and preliminary play-off is to be set-probably for next week-to determine which of the three clubs is to join the Sig macs in the eliminated category.
 Settling of the play-off schedule is now in the hands of the leagues directors and President JCe Wer- ner.
 The improving brand of play in the local loop is shown by the error less ball turned in during last nights close contest. HQ collected two hits off F'rosh hurler Annetti for every safety yielded by HQ moundsman Schnell, but the Frosh made their five hits count for all they were worth.

WASHINGTON = To give you veterans slant on how you stand Tiff you're thinking of looking for a Federal Civil Service job of any kind I guess it's be a good idea to write about some of the provisions of Pub- lie Law No. 359. This originally was the Starnes-Scrugham Bill and it became law on June 23, 1944, the day after the GI Bill of Rights was ap- proved. It's now known as the veterans Preference Act of l944.
 Some very distinct right for all yeterans-particularly the disabled arc created by this law. A system of preferences for veterans is created in Civil Service examinations, certif- iaation for appointment, in appoint ment to Government jobs, reinstate- ment, employment and retention And these benefits extend to both classified and unclassified Govern ment jobs. Whats the difference? Well, that had me puzzled at first but found out it's quite simple.
 It seems that, in most government agencies or organizations, practically all jobs are Civil Service jobs-they are included in the provisions of the U. s. Civil Service Act. In other agencies, the majority of jobs are Civil Service jobs-the minority are net. In a few agencies, no jobs come under Civil Service Regula- ticns. So the difference between classified and unclasSified positions is not in the kind Of work the job calls for, but in whether Federal Government job is subject to the provisions of the Civil Service Act CT whetker it isn't.
 The U. s. Civil Service Commis- sicn explains it this way. "Unclassi- fled positions are those which are excepted from the provisions of the Civil Service Act In short, an un- classified position in any govern ment agency is one that isn't Civil Service All jobs in the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal Bur- eau of Investigation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system and the Inland Waterways Corporation are unclassified not subject to Civil Service.
 Two stenographers may work for the government, each drawing the same pay. But the one working for the Post Office Department is a Civil Service Employee-the ore working in an office Of the FBI isn't. But ex-service people should remem Der this: the Veterans Preference Act of 1914 applies with few excep- tions to all positions in the execu- tive branch of the Federal Govern ment, whether they are Civil Ser vice jobs or not I wrote executive branch" because neither the Civil Service Act nor the Veterans Pre- ference Act applies to the judicial CT legislative branches of the gov ernment. But the big number ot government jobs are in the execu- tive branch, and to compare the large number of executive branch jobs with the small number in tEe ether two branches would be like
