Miss Cornell
IA Hit Play
By Jack OBrion
NEW YORF

NEW 1oIh1As
Despite his recent inactivity in
the playwriting end of his career.
George Bernard Shaw must take his
place with the more active partic-
ipants in the Broadway theater OF
l945. With his "Pygmalion" already
one of the years biggest hits, an
other of his dramaturgical gems.
Candida" last week was brought
back delightfully."- with Katharine
Cornell starred as the young lady
of the title and with Sir Cedric
Hardwicke proving again in wonder
full fashion that he is one OF the
fine actors of our time.
The revival Is an immensely
happy event. Miss Cornell, having
met some critical opposition to her
current production of "Antigone."
evidently decided to make some sort
of amends and Candida" Is most
excellent choice.
Actress at Her Best.
Having weathered a good man,
years in classical fashion, CANDIDA"
at this tardy point only can be con-
sidered in acting and production
comparisons. Miss Cornell is at her
best in her role, and it is credit
to the lady's ego that she picked
this Shavian comedy of romantic
manners again, for her part is not
the central one. Shaw's personal
message shines through two char
| acters-the husband Of Candida,
and Marchbanks, the dreamer. The
reason for her choice of this par
ticular play is not evident to the
casual onlooker until the very last
scene, however, when she has the
meatiest little speech of the entire
drama 1t is an excellent exposition
of Shaw in earnest, rather than the
cynical Shaw in laughter. Any
actress might do we'll with the pas
sage; Miss Cornell does superbly.
Miss Natwick Repeats.
Sir Cedric, too, takes one OF the
lesser roles in the play, that of Mr..
Burgess, but he makes a breath
takingly excellent job of it, however
small. Mildred Natwick, who played
Prossy in Miss Cornells 1887 produc-
ton Of Candida" repeats her beau-
tifully workmanlike role.
Marion Brando is adequate as
Marchbanks and Wesley Addy plays
the husband in good, if not spec
: tacular, fashion" Miss Cornell, who
produced in association with Gilbert
Miller, will alternate Candida" and
"Antigone" in repertory. I do not
: wish to knock "Antigone" again, but
/ it is nice to have Miss Cornell back
again in something worth while
: Candida that is.

in these modern times, would we cruelty Him again?'
 No, we would not torture his body to death. We are more tivil- ized now We do not do that to those who refuse allegiance to man made government-such as Jehov- ahs Witnesses: we don't destroy those who favor radical changes such as American Communists; nor do we take measures against men who differ with the customs ol the church.
 By His aeath then. ne made His death now impossible.
 But the danger is that we could cruelty Him another way-by ridi- cule, apathy, and unreasoning pre- judice.
 That is our greatest danger. We have now reached what may be the crucial climax in our long road up the hill when the forces of or ganized labor and organized capital if pitted against each other could shatter us at home, and when the weapons of war, if once again un- leashed would wipe out civiliza- tion everywhere.
 So today our greatest need is that the spirit Of Christ flame in every citizen.
 No, Christ would not be crucified were he to come again. The dang CT is that we would turn to the comic page CT go to the movies. (coPYRIGHT, BELL sYNDIcArs, INC. ly4S)

 The Navys high ranking officers will be younger group than they were when World War II called them to combat duty if plans for promotion system reforms are approved by the next Congress The plans recently drawn up by the naval high command, seniority system under which young officers of ceptional ability have grown old in the Navy before attaining flag rank, have reached retirement age without making" admiral at all
 The deficiencies of this system quickly became apparent when the stresses of moderday warfare fell upon the Navys higherevel officers after Pearl liar bor. Admiral Towers, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet has pointed out that the slambang tactics of fast carrier warfare and the prolonged slugfests of pre-invason batteship cruiser and de- stroyer operations imposed physical strains which too much for some of the older officers to endure.

THE DIGNITY OF MAN

The ether day, Clarence Randall of the National Association of Manufacturers, an organization hitherto not famous for either toler- ance or liberalism made a state ment which to me represents a great stride toward practical Chris tianity
 The employer, he said, must recognize that the dignity of the American workingman requires freedom of choice.
 Of course ours 1t not the only faith which speaks of the dignity of man, and We shouldn't get toe monopolistic about it, The same idea is also at the heart of Juda- ism and prominent in Chinese philosophy, both of which preceded Christianity. But, wherever found il is belief in the dignity of man which, through labor disputes, wars and revolutions, slowly civilizes the world.
 Sometimes the progress has been imperceptitle, because it's path lies through the hearts of men Anc while we can measure dollars anc cents, wheat and cotton, stocks and bonds, it is hard to measure the most important thing in the world-the change in mems hearts
 Yet, as we look back, this change las accomplished many things. Il has forced out of our culture slavery, sweat shops, children-and- women as chattel property It was only a few scant years ago that the Supreme Court outlawed child la. Dor, and that the famous Triangle Fire in New York brought protec- ticn to the lives of working peo- ple-all steps forward toward the goal set for us by Jesus Of Nazar- eth

2,00e- YEAR MILESTONE

It may seem slight solace to hold these things up as mileStones of accomplishment along the 2,000-year struggle upward toward the Ser mon On The Mount. But each of them was achieved after years of travail and turbulent pain. And they are important, especially in measuring the goals we must achieve in the future.
 It is. not matter of mere chance that men who believed in Christ wrote and fought for the creed that men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. D At the time they wrote that Dec laration of Independence, men were held in human bondage. In the years that have passed since then, those former slaves gradually are attaining the vote This demo- cratic progress sprang direct from the teachings of Jesus Christ.
 After the first world war, mar tial law was declared in bloody Mingo County, West Virginia Less than ten years ago, workers were moved down at the plant of Re- public Steel in the Chicago mass acre We have come a long way since then, but if there is any place where We have more room for practical Christianity-on both sides-it is in bettering our labor relations
 Men like Charles P. Mccormick of Baltimore, Eric Johnson, former President of the U. $. Chamber of Commerce, Stuart Symington when head of Emerson Electric and one or two other enlightened employers have helped blaze the trail toward putting the Sermon On The Mount into their relations with labor. But the road is long and the leaders few.

reason why the world turned against Hitler.
 Today, as the Germans are re- turning to popularity, I sometimes wonder whether, in addition to their efficiency. they have learned the basic teaching of Christ-that they have moral responsibility to their fellowmen, to respect the dig nity of their brothers.
 And so, though Christianity has not yet forced all Fascism out of the world. it has recognized and attacked the evil--a very import ant beginning.
 The eye for an eye and tooth for tooth" doctrine which Christ condemned still survives in many cf us, but it is no longer sane tioned by law as in the old days. We still have a long way to go when it comes to thou shalt not kill" but We have made some pro- gress It is now an accepted pfae- tice not only to care for our own wounded in battle, but for the enemies wounded as well And while we still inflict the punish ment of war on the aged and the children, at least now we have a conscience about it.

Probably HitIer's greatest mistake was that he denied the dignity of man.

Hitler operat- ed on the premise that, as in the jungle. might makes right, and it is the function of the strong to use the weak in any fashion they see fit.

But probing deeper, going back further than one year or even two decades, it is important to realize jus, how much we have grasped of the vision given us by Jesus of Nazareth of what men could be- come.

 PEACE MEET
Unjust Decision" Given as Reason for Quittinq
 Peace Conference

PARIS, Oct. IS. ~ Yugosiavia withdrew officially from the peace conference in its closing hours to- day in protest against what she termed unjust decisions" of the conference majority. The action drew a prompt rebuke from U s, Secretary of State Byrnes.
 Just as no one nation had the power to win the war ByrneS said, "so no one nation has the right to dictate the peace
 Deputy Premier Edward Kardelj of Yugoslavia, in announcing the 1 Yugoslav decision to withdraw challenged the decisions of the 21- nation conference on the Italian treaty. He said the solution should he met by mutual agreement" and implied that if Yugoslavia's desires were not achieved his country would not sign the treaty.
 Byrnes, taking the floor after the Yugoslav withdrawal was an- nounced, said the United States would support in the four-powel Foreign Ministers Council every decision backed by two-thirds of the peace conference.
 The delegates approved the plen- ary session reports on all five treaties-for Italy, Rumania, Bull garia, Hungary and Finland within a half hour after the meet ing convened.
 Delegates, meanwhile, made pre- parations to depart for home or for further international debate at the United Nations general assembly in New York, beginning Oct. 23.
 Foreign Ministers of the big four arranged to meet in New York on Nov. to begin final action on the five peace pacts written here and to begin work on treaty fo Ger many.
