Nv JACK GAYER

New York, Feb. 2e-(UP)-Some
earnest young people with designs
on the theater are preparing here
now TO descend on the countryside
in a covered wagon. Literally.
Theater Adventures, Inc, Is the
rather appropriate name adopted BY
the group. The covered wagon fea-
ture has a double meaning II is
SYMBOLIC Of a pioneering spirit In
play acting and it will serve to
attract attention when the troupe
hits town. If automobiles shy at
it, so much the better.
Actually the troupe will rot travel
in the covered wagon. II will use a
secondhand bus. The wagon will be
transported on a trailer attached
TO the bus. But the players will
enter each town where they are to
give q performance in the pioneer
vehicle, drawn by a horse or horses
to be rented on the spot. They're
resigned to using horses. the team
OF oxen situation being what II Is.
Vets Join in idea
Theater Adventures, Inc. is the
brainchild Of Martha Greenhouse,
stage and radio actress who has
been working in New York for sew
eral years. She's had the idea for
a long time. but it wasn't until late
last year that matters reached
point where she could DO anything
about 1t. At a party she met Bob
Howard. Dolph Greene and Bob
Silver. all veterans Of the l0lst Air
borne Division who used to tax
about doing something different in
the theater when they weren't busy
with the Germans in the Bastogne
Bulge. They all discovered they
were in the same groove and an
organization was started.
The young people-the oldest in
the group Is 3l-have managed 10
get together more than $4,000. with
prospects OF getting more, and have
received encouragement from such
prominent professionals as Fred
Allen, Orson Welles. Louis Calhern.
Peggy Wood and Billy Rose. CAL
hern and Miss Wood probably will
direct two OF the plays which the
troupe will prepare.
Hopes to Start April
Plans now are for a repertoire OF
four plays: "Out Of the Frying
Pan" a mid Broadway comedy
success of few seasons ago; Ben
Jonson's ''Volpone. Steinbeck's "Of
Mice and Men and The En-
peror's New Clothes" which is pri-
marily for children.
The company hopes to get started
on its travels BY April !. New Eng
land towns will get the first visits
The troupe will not drop into places
without design, but viii go only
where advance bookings have been
arranged. 1t remains to be decid-
ed WI Cher regular theaters or town

"As in boxing, said the two-tiEne conqueror of Jack pemp- sey, "Russla is blufflng and has been for 27 years. Personally I have made Q atudy of Russia since May Day, 1881, when I was in Mos. COW, and there has not been much change since that time. War, while not inevitable if the stalln regime continues, is not in the immediate future, for Russia has plenty of problems Inside her vast country, where 3,O00,000 members of the Communist Party control 200, 900 other people of i6 nationalities, four of which have been wiped out"
 The speaker further suggested that the United States should lose no time to help China become an industrial nation, particularly Man- churia, where 00ec of the machinery there has been removed by tho Rus. slams to siberia and other parts of Russia.
 He also came out strongly in favor of the United Nations Organ ization, saying that such c group is tour last hope" to prevent the spread of Communism and another attempted worldwide dictatorship such as exits in Russia today, lone of the most complete dictatorships the world has ever seen".
 Relative to the Yalta conference between Premier Stalin, winston Churchill and the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Tunney called 1t "the crime 0 fthe age" adding that Roosevelt gave away" land in China to Russia, without even consulting the Chinese people. RWssia has never forgotten the Mongol conqueror, 0engis Khan, when Russians had to beg to rec main alive, MT. Tlnney said, which is why Stalin does not want Q strong or industrialiZed China near her borders. "rn my opinion, we should take machinery right Into China now, by Navy ships, if neceS- sary to help a people which de- serves our help lest they starve, which is exactly what Russia Is hoping for" he concluded.
 As for churches in Russia, the speaker said land on which church. es are built or religious services held, must be leased from the state (government) under very exacting conditions, and if the property is damaged in any way. an individual or group charged with the damage would be shot.

however was held in Waterbury before this date. Mass at one time was held on the second floor of the little building at the corner of West Main and Bank Streets, 5auby's corner. The fee charged was fifty cents. This was the story told us by the well versed Major Bannon years ago, Again, how many local Catholics know that the property at the corner of East Main Street and Phoenix Avenue, where the Woolworth store is now located, was owned by the Catholic Church of Water bury in the early eighties, having been purchased from the First Methodist Church. It was occu pied for awhile by the Church of the Sacred Heart original par ShionerS. Within a few years, 1t was sold to the Platt interests, they say, for sum of money not far beyond Se,0o0.
 Anyway, let St. Patrick's day come.
 we'll wear our green tie, just as the Irish lads with Us Out East made us do, in our tender years; we'll think of Donnelly's fish wagon, and the old fish horn that brought so many women hurried ly from the kitchen as the old horse pulled its way up Wall Street on almost every day of the Lenten season of 8 bygone day.

(Continued from Page 1.) curate figures on how much finish ed clothing was being hoarded by clothing manufacturers.
 The action was designed to SUD- plement OP.A. regulations requir- inf manufacturers to devote a cer- tain percentage of their output to low-priced clothing. Some manu- lecturers have built up large back logs of higher priced clothing under this regulation.
 Manufacturers who. have with held clothing from the market in hopes of a price increase from O.P-A. regulations.
 They will either have to dis pose of their goods in accordance with O.P.A. regulations Or reduce or stop production until their inc ventory Is in balance" C!P.A. said.
 The manufacturers were given until April 1 to bring their inven- tories into balance although the order was effective immediately. At the end of that time, C.P.A. can order them to stop manufacturing until their inventory is brought within the new limits.
 In some cases, CP.A. said, pro- ducers will be allowed less than a 30-days inventory because they or- dinarily work on a smaller margin. "In cases of products which can be distributed very quickly by a manu- facturer, an inventory not greater than the quantity produced in the period of week or 10 days may be practicable minimum wohking inventory" the agency said.
 Suits Held Back
 Louis Rothschild, executive di- rector of the National Retail Clothiers, said recently that 100000 mems suits were being withheld by manufacturers hoping for oGP.A. price boosts.
 After O.P.A.'s inventory controls went into effect last week. he pre- diced that most of these suits would move to market very quickly-prob- ably before the April 1 readline set by the new OP.A. order.
 O.P.A. officials favored CP.A.'s action because 1t will help enforce their clothing price regulations.
 The order also tied in with action of the office of economic stablliza- ton raising margins or raw cotton sales in an effort to stabilize cotton prices. Tn this way. C.P.A. hopes to avoid further price increases to clothier to take care of higher pro- duction costs.

He said the Truman administration lacks moral stand ards to the degree that violation of the law is condoned although it may threaten the foundations of the government"
 He was referring partly to the fact that Attorney General Tom O. Clark had not taken action against a witness during the Pauley hear ings. But the blast was aimed at MT. Truman, as well. When he Stormed out of the Cabinet on Feb. I3. the old curmudgeon said he did not "care to stay in an Administra- tion where am expected to com- init perjury" His complaint was that he claimed MT.
