 New York, April 22 = (UP) The folks in Western Virginia down Abingdon way are already plan ming their agricultural husbandry for the year with an eye to harvest ing admissions to the Barter The ater, which Is due for a Stupendous re.birth after four-year hiatus caused by the war.
 Bob Porterfield, himself a native of the old dominion, was in his office here today interviewing candidates for acting and other chores with the group which he started on half a shoeString in the worst of the de- pression in 1883. He can afford to beam these days because the pro- pect now has the oflcial backing of the State of Virginia to the tune of $l0,000 annually, making 1t the first state-endowed theater in the coun- try.
 That admission by barter exped- lent, which was adopted because of the depression, will be continued, The produce will feed the resident acting troupe and the states money will make possible expansion never before attempted by one of the country's so-called summer theaters. Maybe 1t should be pointed out that anyone so lazy as to have nothing but money can pay his way into the barter.
 Classification Changed
 Porterfield said that Dr. Henry, a member of the faculty of Emory and Henry College, has advised him that his garden will lose It's victory" classification this year and revert to being the Barter Garden" 1t was before the war. It was the profess sor's habit to use the proceeds from his garden to give theater parties in the Abingdon playhouse,
 "A woman who lives near Abing- don reports that she has added an- other strand of barbed wire atop her orchard fence to keep out apple pir- ates now that she again will need the fruit to attend our shows" Por- terfleld said,
 Some high school girls started early by invetlng in some baby chicks, which eventually. will find their way to the Barter box office." :"
 Porterfield said he and his CO., workers already were giving some thought to new recipes using cot- tage cheese because of past ex- perience with two elderly women who attended almost nightly and paid their way with this dairy by- product. These are some women who, some years ago, brought more than the usual amount of cheese to the theater and asked for 10 cents change apiece because we thought We would like to buy. a soda after the show"
 Year-R Round Program
 The expansion consists of plans for year-round operation. The cus- tomary summer season of IA weeks in Abingdon will open June 4. Next fall and winter the company will tour Virginia with six plays, hoping to play at least 70 localities. There will follow during the 1946-47 sea- son visits to other parts of the coun- try, including two weeks on Broad way.
 Twenty professional actors will be employed on an annual salary basis, which is revolutionary. A large com

GIs Finding  Confusing

Declaring that returning CTS are not acquainted with local traffic regulations pertaining to all-night parking .and other illegal parking violations, Desk Sgt. Edward Ashton today requested newspapers to in- form these veterans of existing reg1 ulations.
 He said that numbers of veterans bring in parking tags unaware of what rule they had violated.
 The sergeant said most of the tags are for all-night parking. The veterans, he said, apparently are not aware that this restriction on parking is in effect on most streets in the city with the exception of those posted otherwise.
 Another frequent source of tick cts, he said, is the ordnance stating that it is illegal to park less than 25-feet from a corner. He said most veterans remember when the ord- nance cited a 10-foot restriction.

DeIfino Band
 Sets Record

A new all-time attendance mark for single season at Hamilton Park pavilion was set last night when more than HOO dancers thronged the municipal ballroom to dance to the special Easter pro- gram of Francis Delfno and his 15-piece orchestra and send the seasons patronage over the 10000 mark.
 Even in it's best seasons during which such outstanding "names" as Dorsey, Garber, Casa Loma, Shaw and Miller were featured, the patronage never attained such por- potions. This fact is a tribute to the Delflno group, one of the finest ever assembled from the ranks of local musicians. Since Lake Com bounce was celebrating it's l0lst opening last night with the famous Bob Chester band and with the Arena featuring Tommy Dorsey, the attendance at the park was all the more amazing.

 raining Faces Delay
 Decision Reached
 To Delay Action
 Beyond Elections
By DEAN w. DITTMER

United Press Staff CorreSpOndenO
 Washington, April 22-(UP)-The Amyr, fearful that an election-year vote would mean defeat, has asked Congress to forget about universal military training until next year. 1t was learned today.
 House members, who asked that their names be withheld, said de- cision to delay action until after the November elections was reached at a recent meeting of War De- partment officials and House mem- bers.
 Those at the meeting included Secretary of War Robert P Pat terson, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Army Chief of Saff, Chairman An drew J. May. (D-Ky), of the House Military Affairs Committee, and Reps. R. Ewing Thomson, D-TeX), !, Walter G. Andrews, (R.-N, Y), and James w. Wadsworth, (R.-N. Y0
 Public DisapprOves
 Thomson and Andrews are high ranking members of the Military Affairs Committee, and Wadsworth is a leading exponent of universa! training.
 Committee members said the Army proposed postponing consideration of its long advocated training pro gram to keep it from becoming an election issue. Peacetime training, like the draft, is not popular with the public, and the War Depart ment was said to fear prediction vote would mean sure defeat.
 There was some speculation that the Army also figured that delay might strengthen chances of getting a more satisfactory draft extension The House voted a nine-month ex- tension but suspended all induction' for the first five-a plan which tn Administration calls unavoidable The issue is now before the Senate
 The House Military Affairs Com mittee held extensive hearings or the War Departments request for 9 years training for young men be- tween the ages of IS and 2l, but failed to report out a bill Hear ings were completed Feb. 2l.
