first flung Van Druten's characters
together. Also, they are still the
same nice people, and if the tempo
of their week end is breath-taking
it is simply because time went that
fast on a soldiers pass. Mr.. van
Druten never labors that point as
he never labors ANY point in THE
Voice of the Turtle" which is as
neat trick of keeping a story deli
cate as any playwright ever prac-
ticed.
If any one has not heard the plot
of the three-Season Broadway hit,
it sums up tersely: Sergt. Bill Page
(Stephens) comes to New York on
a week end pass He has a date
with Olive Lashbrooke, a broad
minded (the saying goes actress. At
the last minute, Olive turns him
down for a more lively Navy officer,
and Bill is left on the hands, and
in the apartment, of Sally Middle
ton. Sally and Bill both are lone
ly, but he actually is the worse off
because he has no place to stay. At
least, he has not until Sally re-
members she has a day-bed right
there in the living room. That
settles that, and, before the week
end is over, it settles lots of other
things. Just how no one ever
could be so clever as Van Druten
in the telling. Or match his ex-
cellent taste
1t takes a great deal of artful
dialogue to keep the voice of Solo
mons turtle properly subdued in
Sally's apartment that week end
Certainly there never is any unbe-
coming frenzy in the manner in
which it dawns upon Bill that Sally
is a wonderfully attractive girl, and
upon her that he is Irresistible, too.
They have great many amusing
things to tell each other, and some
touching discoveries to make about
character. And, then, as final
safeguard against any one getting
the wrong idea, the whole thing is
given the appearance of sheer
domesticity.
There are those analytic minded
ones who insist that the real genius
of Van Druten in THE Voice of the
Turtle" is that apartment in which
he has set up Sally Middleton. It
has everything to give the perfect
housekeeping flavor. There is
kitchen sink with running water,
coffee pot that produces hot coffee,
refrigerator from which Sally and
Bill take ice cubes, mind you, liv-
ing room with that day bed, and
then Sallys bedroom.
Nothing ever looked more home
like and that the lonely sergeant
and the out-of-Work young actress
should make themselves completely
at HONEYWELL, what else could they
have done?
Van Druten could conceive of
nothing else and If he had been able
to, audiences never would have for
given him.
In fact, there would have been no

mon might have resented being let

Like it's predecessors, the company
at the National was directed by the
playwright. Obviously it has re-
sponded perfectly to his teachings.

A policy of encouraging pro-

red.
Stating as his opinion that it
would seem better to find some
means of aiding those who can
not meet the cost of reasonable
medical insurance protection, than
to resort to a government IN
surance program, Goss cautioned
that whatever solution is chosen,
that expenditures must be limited
to our ability to pay.
In conclusion, he called for ex-
tended social security benefits to
cover farm workers, the control
and supervision of transient farm
labor by the Department OF Ag..
riculture, and the establishment
of a cooperative farmer owned
self-help credit system OF agri-
culture.

of food SURPRISES and the need for
assuring fair price structure for

search, he said. .....

United States as now in its most
serious stage, Goss blamed ma
tional leaders for yielding to po-
litical. pressures, when firm fis-
cal policies might have prevented
the present situation. To correct
the inf1ationary trend, he urged:
maximum production, checks on
spending power, and a balance
between wage income, industrial
income and selling prices.
The current labor management
controversy might be settled on
a voluntary basis, he suggested, by
establishing base limit on ac-
tual investment capital earnings;
by establishing base salary sche-
dulles, and by dividing all earn
ings after these bases had been
