------~---=- HE WENT AFTER THE KAISER
(Hartford Times)

NAAUi IAOAa hAASo(
 The death of Col. Luke Lea in Tennesse few days ago recalls the exploit in which he was engaged shortly after the signing of the armistice In 1918, when he and a group of eight men from his artil- lery regiment escaped to capture Kaiser Wilhelm II, then in his place of refuge in Holland. He and his associates did not succeed in their venture because they came under the suspicion of Dutch guards There are many details missing from the story of that post-World War exploit, but enough is known to emphasize the capacity of Col onel Lea for the romanic.
 In politics he was natural leader. When only 3l years old he was elected by the Tennessee Legislature to the Senate where he served four years, suffering defeat when he sought reelection in 1905. He had hand in naming for office many State officials.
 The Coloners latter years were not fortunate or happy He became involved in transactions which re- suited in prison sentences being imposed on him and his son
 The State of Tennessee granted the Colonel full pardon after he had served part Of his sentence Even before it was granted he had regaiped his old influence, politically and otherwise, in the State. He was a man of commanding appear ance ,ebing feet inches tall He was the type that might well be- come the central character in a political novel.

Views Of The Press

X-ray.
 What X-rays actually have ac- complished is in fact startling but largely in the direction of benefit ing humanity. They have supplied a powerful diagnostic and thera- peutic instrument, by means of which tuberculosis, cancer and other human ailments have been studied and in considerable measure con- trolled. Industry has used them in studies of metals.
 That x-rays have led directly to the discovery of atomic energy is scientists to predict still greater now generally admitted, prompting achievements in that field. Many of these discover>2s may be in the realm of medicine. The X-ray has opened the way for progress un- dreamed of fifty years ago.

 Labor leaders have naturally resisted being put in either Of these strait jackets. They haven't wanted to reveal how much money they had because that would be telling where unions were weakest and where they could be broken the easiest by manage ment.
 Aside from these objections, congressman haven't been able to toward financial control over the unions because there no place to go to find out the condition of the union treasures So in the rev. act of 1943 1t was provided that all tax-eXempt organizations should file returns their income, even though they not compelled to pay the ac- tual taxes. This provision in the law was broad enough to take in farmers co-ops, educational and charitable institutions, luncheon clubs, mutual banks and insurance companies But 1t was the labor or ganzations which were particularly aimed at.

X-RAY ANNIVERSARY
(New Haven Journal I-Courier)

Fifty years ago, Prof. Wilhelm Roentgen. a German physicist, startled the world with the an- nouncement he had discovered what has since geen known as the X-ray. This achievement, which Las added immeasurably to the progress of science, created a worldwide sensa- ton at the time.
 The press in England demanded that nothing be done with the "re- volting discovery" The New Jer- sey legislature passed law for bidding It's use in opera glasses. It was even predicted the very souls of men would be laid bare by the

 This matter of big union fi- nances has become increasingly controversial over the last few years. There has been agitation to force unions to incorporate, like business, and to pay taxes on their incomes, also like business corporations. Some anti . labor congressman have toyed with the idea of making unions suable and financially responsible for con- tract violations and for strike

Light verse in the raw is fre- quently neither hum orous nor wit ty, but simply a delightful exercise in technique and skill."-From the dust jacket of What Cheer, by David McCord (CowarG -McCann)
 The Pragmatic Muse Do not weep or spare your pity For the minor bards Who do not achieve the witty In their bits and shards. Some--I think they are the will
 ful-- Do not seek the gay, Striving only to be skillful In metric way. Don't be critically spiteful At the sorry soul; Exercise that is delightful That's his simple goal.

WONDERFULLY CAST

Louis Calhern Is every inch the
arrogant Polish officer, the mill
tary snob who can't bear resort
ing 10 subterfuge and deceit, even
though his life and the life of the
girl he loves depends on it.
Oscar Karlweis proves to be the
perfect foil for him with his hu-
morous twist TO everything. his
ironic acceptance of fate and his
suave handling of every desperate
situation.
He. the professional refugee,
gently turns the other cheek with
every buffet OF fate and every
blow, even from the colonel.
The first tragi-comic set-up.
however. changes into exciting
melodrama before the play is
ended so that you have a perfect
combination which you'll find
worth your evenings while.
Both the principals are sup
ported by a large cast, most of
whom turn in wonderful perform
ances.
There's Marianne Stewart who
does a lovely Job as the distracted
French girl; Loney Lewis as the
marvellous orderly. Haywood Ar
bury. who takes two parts with
equal aplornb: Harold Vermilvea
as the lisping gestapo agent: Oil
yer Cliff. Leona Roberts and at
least a dozen others.
The six cleverly contrived sets
were executed by Stewart Clancy.

Jacobowsky
Excellent
BY CHARLES GENTRY

MISCHIEF AND melodraina
meet with most delightful result in
"Jacobowsky and the Colonel. 4"
which opened its two-week en-
gagement al the Cass Theater last
night.
S. ~. Behrman. who is one OF
the most brilliant Of our contem-
porary playwrights. has taken
Franz Werfels pseudo serious
farce and translated II into a
footlight piece of tremendous
charm and absorbing interest
His two chief protagonists are
an adroit little Jew. Jacobowsky,
and an arch aristocrat Of a Polish
colonel. who find themselves in
the same leaking boat. Paris. just
as il fell into NaZi hands.
The colonel. filled with romance
and hravado. cannot stand the
little unmilitary Jacobowsky who
proves TO be the greater diplomat,
by far.
Jacobowsky. though he is pri-
rnarily anxious 10 save his own
skin. is greatly impressed by the
actions of the Polish officer who
dares TO defy the approaching
Germans by driving calmly off
into the storm 10 rescue a sweet
heart in already occupied country.
CHANGE OF CHARACTER
Scared though he Is. Jacobow-
sky. himself, becomes transformed
by the contagion of the coloners
courage, while the colonel, always
spurred 10 the moment. almost
loses the game by beginning 10
think,
II is this contrast between the
two characters and their eventual
exchange Of disposition which
makes The play so intriguing.
In fact, you might almost find
the summation of the whole situ-
alton in a wonderful line in the
last act which Jacobowsky utterS,
Between the two Of us we make
a hero"
AS fantastic as their final es-
cape may sound, il isn't as i'm
probable as many of those we read
In the daily news sections. but il
Is certain that you can't escape
having one of the best times of
your theater life.
This is chiefly because the char
acters. wonderfully drawn as they
are, are so magnificently por-
trayed.
