GreenbeIt Takes PG
Boys Crown, Girls
To Gwynne Park
BY George Huber

Two upsets were registered in the
championship finals of the Prince
Georges County high school basket
ball tournament last night at the
University of Maryland's Ritchie
Coliseum as Greenbelt captured the
boys title and Gwynne Park won
the girls crown.
Greenbelt nosed out Hyattsville,
20-18, in a rubber game between
the two, while Gwynne Park top
ped Maryland Parks lassies, 25-17,
before a crowd of 1000.
Johnny Littleton, high scorer for
Greenbelt with seven points, sup
piled the last-period goal that broke
q 1916 tie. He picked up a re-
bound, dribbled the length of the
floor and dropped in a layup shot
for the first marker in the final
frame after four scoreless minutes
Of play. Harry Benefiel of Green
belt made good with a charity toss
a minute later to supply enough
margin to win. Neil Enrich, Hyatts-
vile center, sank a long field goal
with two minutes to go for the
Hornets only tally in the final
frame. Benef1el came through with
a clinching foul shot for the
Grizzlies IS seconds before the end.
Hyattsville was off to 7-3 lead
in the first period on baskets by
Enrich, Jim Summerfelt and Bob
Fulton, but Greenbelt got back into
the game and with Littleton tossing
in pair of buckets worked to
90 half-time deadlock.
Greenbelt forged ahead in the
third period on scores by Ted Fox
and Robert Scott, to take a 1910
lead at one point, only to have the
Hornets rush into 1916 deadlock
before the end Of the quarter with
Enrich, Bill Walton and Bob Fulton
scoring. The two teams then bat
tied through four scoreless minutes
OF the final frame until Littleton
sank his shot for Greenbelt.

pearance of the Old Vic company in
New York for six weeks engage
ment beginning May 6, is sorry tc
inform every one that it has been
necessary to close mail orders for
the company'S engagement. There
are only few scattered seats left
to be placed on sale at the box
office the week before the opening
The box office already has $3.50, ,00O
to take to the bank.
Another evidence, if we don't seem
to be too single-minded, that quality
pays.
Tut, tut department.. One of the
most permanent chagrins that con-
fronts critics is that their condem-
nation of entertainment offerings
as vulgar, bawdy, ribald, or even
obscene is likely to result in the
stimulation of boxoff1ce sales. 1t
works out the same way with GEN.
sor groups, which attack from quite
a different angle.
There is the current illustration
of Howard Hughes THE Outlaw" a
picture which was held up for five
years while Hughes refused to de-
lete one sequence in which star
Jane Russell's clothing did not quite
clothe her.
Reference to it appears at least
twice on virtually every radio pro-
gram, the comedy ones, which one
listens to these days.
The funny lads haven't found as
good a gag in a decade, or one
which looks as if it couldn't be
worked to death in another decade.

National Academy
To Be Revived
By the Associoted Pres,
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK.
To remedy the absence of the le-
gitimate theater from the lives of
an estimated 80 per cent of the
American people, Vinton Freedley
president of the American National
Theater and Academy, this week
announced first steps to revitalize
the organization, virtually dormant
since before the war.
The National group, which re-
ceived charter from Congress in
1885, plans to start country-w wide
drive for $5,O00,000 in the fall
Freedley said the fund will further
the professional theater in all Amer
lean cities through grants or loans
to permanent or touring companies
A graduate academy also is part
of the plan, affording professional
training to young persons with the
atrical ambition from all over the
Nation. Plans for the academy are
in the hands of a committee headed
by Rachel Crothers and Raymond
Massey.
1t is the ultimate hope of the
academy to bring to this country the
leading theatrical organizations OF
other nations and to send some OF
our own abroad, as a sort of lease
lend bank for cultural projects"

There is. today the example OF
Love on the Dole" the English
movie which dared to speak of social
and economic conditions and which
had such struggle before it en-
Joyed a really triumphant run at
the Little Theater here.
Recently in Hollywood, the Holly
wood Writers Mobilization, repre-
senting the better group of literary
men in the movie colony, has been
holding clinics to discover what is
wrong with American pictures. If
not wrong, at least unworthy of the
screens highest destiny. Only the
best pictures are shown at these
clinics and the latest one exhibited
under the program was Love on the
Dole" Its showing inspired the
following conclusion on the part of
the Writers Mobilization group:
"A huge potential demand exists
In America for mature, courageous
films that coincide with the expert
ence of the American people and
that when this demand becomes
articulate and organized it will up
grade Hollywood movie standards" +"
More clinics and more Loves on
the Dole" will help.
The picture, by the way, produced
the greatest volume and most
praiseworthy mail this department
has received in five years. Indicat-
ing, no doubt, that the demand
mentioned by the writer's group is
becoming articulate.

POLITICAL PARADE

IF CONGRESS is a puzzle to
President Truman-as indi-
Gated by his recent radio appeal
TO the pressure groups it
isn't a circumstance TO the puz-
zle that President Truman is
proving to be to many of his
own party on Capitol Hill.
As they view todsy's deplor-
able situation, with nationwide
strikes holding up recovery, the
President is presented with q
made-tO-Order opportunity to
assert a leadership which the
whole country Is eager to follow.
AS these Democrats in Con-
gress see the situation, these
strikes are being openly en-
couraged by the Communist
press. 1t has been as openly
charged on the floor of the
House that there is a plot be-
hind the strike scenes to impose
a labor dictatorship on America.
The Presidents course in
dealing with these labor dis
turbances. which are costing
the United States heavily in
wea h and in international
prestige, has been characterized
by weakness and indecision.
THE answer perhaps is to be

ated peoples, would like the peace and safety of
home.
They do not blame G. T. Joe for Americas
lost prestige.
They do blame American subServience to
Soviet policy. At Moscow at Teheran, at Yalta,
at Potsdam, the United States retreated from
every principle of human rights which, during the
whole of American history guided our relations
with foreign powers
At these conferences, the United States, in
stead of supporting the right of every people to
a government of its own choosing agreed to the
imperialstie policy of spheres of influence, to
three big powers dominating all the countries of
the earth.
We have lessened the effectiveness of any
parliament of man by accepting the veto of three
powerful nations.
ME HAVE permitted the absorption of Finland,
= hithuania, Latvia, Poland, Czecho -Slovakia,
Jugoslavia, Rumania, Bulgaria the north of Iran,
Mongolia, the economic life of Manchuria half of
Korea and much of Germany into Soviet imperial
ism.
We have permitted the use of American arms
and equipment to suppress the natural and his
toricaly correct craving of Asiatic peoples for
liberty and self government. We have betrayed
the Jews in Palestine.
That is why we have lost prestige.
We have appeased. We have compromised.
We have failed to use strength in good cause.
That is why our prestige is low in Europe.
And it is low in Asia because there, too. we have
crlnged before the totem pole of the Bear, even
to the embarrassment of Gen. Macarthur
Don't blame G. T. Joe because he holds
mass meeting. Don't blame G.. I. Joe because he
believes in democracy.
Blame the smart boys in Washington, who
have betrayed democracy and justice.

and in 1914. the American

sec this country sold down

subversive labor dictatorship
responding TO an alien Com

negan, before the Massachusetts
Democratic State Committee.
After President Truman had
called on the American pres
sure groups" TO turn the heat
on Congress, for refusing TO en-
act the legislative program he
had recommended in his Sep
tember message, Senator Taft
called attention to the Com
munist. or left-wing inspiration
of much that was on that pro-
gram, at which the Democratic
Congress had gagged and which
it refused to swallow.
Instead of acknowledging the
truth of Taft's broadside. Han
negan hurled the charge Of
reaction against the Ohio Re-
publican senator.
Then he added this obServa-
ton. which is the key 10 the
political and economic chaos in
which the Truman administra-
ton finds itself today:
THAT the Truman administra-
Il tion's legislative program is
designed TO carry out promises
made by the Democratic party
in its 1914 program, part of
"a bigger program which the
people have four times approved
by direct expression at the bal
lot box"
This is in direct variance
with the facts. Twice, in 1910

Has any country eUer treated another coun-
try like this, in time of peace, for the purpose of
building the Others strength and restoring its
competitive position?
"IF THE AMERICANS TRIED TO MEET
CRITICISM AT HOME by making the terms
LOOK A LITTLE LESS LIBERAL THAN THEY
REALLY ARE, so as to preserve the principle of
interest, is it necessary FOR US TO BE MIS-
TAKEN?
"The balm and sweet simplicity of no per
cent is not admitted, but Ue are not asked to pay
interest except in conditions Uhere can reason
ably tDeH afford to do So and the capital install
n,ents spread that our minimum obligation
in the early years actually less than it loould be
Nth a loan free of interest, repayable by eqaal
instairnents."
Lord Keynes, on the same OCCASION pays
final tribute to his conception of American states
men as boobs when he explores the significance of
the new mania to turn from protective tariffs to
free trade.
Il the free trade tariff advocacy and the real in
terests of the United States Lord Keynes, using
the niceties of academic double talk concludes:
"The United States is rapidly becoming a
highHUing and a high-cost country. Their Wages
are TWO AND A HALF times ours. These are
the historic, classical methods by uohich in the
LONG RUN INTERNATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM
WILL BE RESTORED"
What does the crafty manipulation, Lord
Keynes, mean by the use of those soft and vague
academic terms?
He is plainly limiting at the fact that, under
conditions of free trade, the United States cannot
permanently retain it's role economic pace setter
and enjoy wage and living standards far above
the international average.
Referring to the policies of the Anglo -Ameri-
can loan agreement, he candidly contends
They calculated to help US regain a full
of prosperity and prestige in the world's
commerce" ../ As
1t will be the business of members of the u S.
House and Senate to appraise these policies in
the light of their effect on the material well being
of American workingmen, farmers, businessmen
and others.
No contribution to lasting international
friendship can be made except on MUTUALLY
BENEFICIAL basis.

TOO many brass hats and politicians are blaming
G. l. Joe for Americas loss of prestige in
Europe.
They say that he behaves badly. He does not
wear his neckte straight. He fraternizes with the
natives-particularly girls. He buys in the black
market. He shoots craps for big stakes. He writes
Congressman and columnists. He holds mass meet
ings.
He sings, 81 lDanna go home"
In other words, G. l. Joe is still an Ameri-
can citizen and shows it,
When he was fighting an enemy, he licked
him.
He followed Patton and Macarthur to He'll
and back.
He showed his stuff at Two Jima and okinawa

He does not know why he does not come
home now that the Germans and japanese are
reduced to conquered people.
And not knowing, he asks why,
He has RIGHT to ask why.
