.WHEN WE first heard that
lily Rose was going TO mod
ernie" Bizet's opera, Carmen" ..
we thought il would be a little
like putting a mustache on the
Mona Lisa, but the finished prod
bet of Carmen JONES'" which
Opened at the Cass last night,
has turned out to be one Of the
most exciting shows in years.
Our chief fear was that they
would "swing" the music, but
they play the score straight, and,
while there is plenty of high
humor in the new lyrics, il Is by
no means a burleSque.
II has a perfectly superb all
Negro cast, wonderfully chosen,
pot only the principals, but also
The singing and dancing en-
Bembles, which are terrific.

Reactionaries Hit By AFL President

Boston (LPA)-AFL Presi- dent William Green charged here last week that the present Con- gress is the worst in American history.
 Addressing the 24th conven- ton of the International Brother hood of Bookbinders, Green de clared that ''never in the history of our political life was a more reactionary Congress elected by the people of the U. s. than this one that is functioning in Wash ington now."
 Green said that the present Con- gress 'sis the worst I have ever known of, it is the worst I have ever seen." He charged that ssThe reactionary forces in both parties have united for the purpose of making a drive upon labor."
 Keynoting the AFL's renewed de termination to retire Congressional labor -haters from public life, Green said, Tt is my opinion that the liberal forces of the nation and the members of organized labor must unite at the next election and see to it that a large number of these reactionary members of Congress stay at home and are not reelected. That is neces- sary if this war against us is to stop
 Cites Case Bill

No ap- peal that we could make, no facts which we could offer, no reason or argument that we could present infu- enced them to vote against the notori- ous anti-labor Case bill And ] am not engaging in exaggeration wher I say that no Congress ever passed 2 worse anti-1abor bill than did this Congress when it passed the Case bi1l."

Fight As FDR Pepper Urges; US. Liberals

CLEVELAND-(FP)-A call for reaffirmation of liberalism by ''those who have been coerced or silenced or intimidated or driven to meaningless compromise or despair by the power of the conservatives and their propaganda" was sound. ed here by Sen. Claude Pepper CD. Fla.) before the 10th anniversary convention of the Natl. Lawyers Guild.
 Raise your voices," Pepper said and speak out for the liberal spirit and make it work.
 ''The people will not be led astray by the pious talk of a free economy that provides them no houses, that does not guarantee them jobs at decent pay, that ig. nOres their basic needs and leaves them helpless in the economic inn. gle."
 Pepper appealed for a return to the Roosevelt foreign policy. He warned that the good neighbor policy, the war-achieved unity of the great bowers and the continuation of that unity as the basis of peace are threatened by those who never fully shared hi. vision or accepted his liberal spirit
 Liberalism in foreign affairs is mol rampant nationalism," he warned. "It IS not waving the atomic bomb; it i: not building Up a powerful military establishment to overawe the world and placing the iron hand of the mili- tary on our traditional American way of life.
