BroadlDay Goes RuraL
 tStra1uhat Circuits Hope For Liuely Summer Trade

indicate continuation of the trend which developed before the war whereby the better known theaters used stars in some of their recent hits, filling out the casts with the resident stock players.
 As in the past, the Summer thea ters will prove attractive to young people in the theater who thus get a chance at eight to 10 weeks of varied work in which they can learn considerably about their trade by playing large number of roles.
 One of the stars who will do some work is Gertrude Lawrence. She will appear in "Pygmalion,' in which she closes on Broadway June l, for her husband, Richard Ald- rich, at his Cape Cod Playhouse at Dennis, Mass. Helen Hayes will appear in lice-Sit-By- -the-Fire' at the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, Pa., and probably al several other places. This is the play in which her daughter, Mary MacArthur. will make her debut Edward Everett Horton, who seems to have decided to play in Spring time for Henry" the rest of his life will be back with it on the Summer circuit. His first date is the County Playhouse at Suffern, N. Y, June IT.
 Most of the theaters will be ir operation by the third week o1 June. A few will wait until the first of July to open. Come Bastille Day, the countryside should b' pretty well accustomed to thu Broadway interlopers.

 In HoIIvwoodA

Hollywood, May 2-(UP)-Thi county coroner began an invostiga. ton today of the tragic death of Primula Niven. pretty British war bride of actor David Niven. who died yesterday after e gay parlor game of blackout hide-and-seek.
 Mrs. Niven plunged 20 feet down the cellar stairs of actor Tyrone Powers home Sunday night, frac- turing her skull
 we were playing 'sardine,i said actress Lilli Palmer, wife of actor Rex Harrison and one of the guests. That's where the lights are turned out while everybody squeezes to- gether in a corner or closet. Mrs. Niven was it. ."
 Apparently, said Miss Palmer, Mrs. Niven was groping around for a closet door in the dark when she found the door leading to the base ment and crashed down the steps.

New York, May 22-(UP)-Ani- mals under five years of age and children under 10 in the rural sec tions and small communities Of New England and what the geogra- phies like to refer to as the Middle Atlantic states are being briefed by their elders these days for the 1m- pending invasion. They are get ting the lowdown on actors, who will be overrunning the Summer landscape within another month.
 Before the war the animal and human offspring were in contact with the odd creatures from Broad way every Summer and picked up knowledge of them naturally. But most of the countryside theaters have been closed since the l94l season, and there are whole gen. erations that might be startled out of their wits by suddenly coming upon live Thespian without hav- ing been properly prepared for this type of human who paints his face, struts and spouts.
 NOW that gaSOllne anu HlaIS pray
 CTS are available again, the "Strawhat Circuit" appears to be in for lively Summer, with all of the reconverted barns and town halls previously devoted to the va cation drama back in action. Over at Actors Equity Association there is a record of 65 Summer theaters which have posted guarantees fol operation. Equity officials believe there may be about 10 more entries Four of the long established Sum- mer stock theaters are on the ex- empt list. =
 So if the number gets up to 7s or 30, that will compare favorablJ with pre-war years. All but a very few of these are along the eastern seaboard. Advance announcement!

 Results Not Conclusive
 Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said late last night that yeS- terday's conferences produced mo conclusive results"
 There just isn't anything to say," he added.
 These gloomy reports were em- phasized by the way the Brother hoods of Locomotive Engineers and Railroad Trainmen went ahead with strike plans. Local officials said only final satisfactory settle ment would prevent the walkout this time.
 Trainmen President A. F. Whit ney and Engineer President Alvan- ley Johnston postponed the strike date until tomorrow only few minutes before the original deadline last Saturday on assurances from President Truman that further pro- greSs could be made in meetings here.
 Differ on Rules
 Differences over working rules appeared to be the big obstacle. The unions were holding out for import ant changes while carriers insisted that they would put into effect only those changes recommended by a presidential fact-finding board last month.
 The unions originally demanded 45 rule changes which carriers esti- mated would cost $500, 100000 a year to apply to all operating em- ployes. They have since modified these demands in negotiations here but neither side will indicate how much.
 l One source said the unions were holding out for three or four real ly important rules changes"
 Carriers, it was said, were stil hopeful that rules changes coulc be put of for further negotiationi or eliminated from the picture en. tirely if wage increase bigger thar the $1.28 a day awarded by thu fact finding board was offered.
 Basic Wage Agreement Sought
 Steelman was believed to havi made an initial proposal that woult have provided 8 bigger daily wag' increase with some rules changes Should the compromise be rejected there is still a possibility that thu Government will seek an agreemen on a substantial wage increase il lieu of rules changes or with tn rules to be negotiated later. l IOne source believed the Govern ment was aiming for an agreemen on the basic daily wage increase is sue so that this also could be ofier led to switchmen, conductors am

Author Rops US. Policy

Boston, May 9 - (UP) = Amer jeans are responsible for the "mur- der" of more than 10000, 900 Euro pean babies because they have fail- ed to meet their obligations to the worlds starving peoples, accord ing to author and editor Norman Cousins.
 Speaking before the annual con- vention of the American Unitarian Association, Cousins said last night that this nation rapidly is becom- ing .the most hated and feared on the face of the earth"
 He said responsibility for the worlds well-being falls on the peo- ple's shoulders rather than their leaders. Instead of meeting this responsibility, he charged, Ameri- cans spend more money at the race tracks than they do on U.N.R.RA.
 We have become callous, stu- pid people, concerned only with a fat and soft peace," Cousins de- clared. "But we have fought our last war. In the next war, the first blow will probably will be the last There will eb no chance to reta- Hate"

By NEA Service
 New York, May 15 - (NEA = The FBI is playing before capacity houses these days. Its program IS good citizenship, its audience, teen- age boys and girls throughout the United States.
 r To see the show, all young Amer ica has to do is sign this pledge of good citizenship:
 T pledge my support to law en- forcement. I promise to obey the law myself and to cooperate with the local police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 "As an American, recognize that my freedom depends on the impar- tial administration of justice. There fore, I regard all law enforcement officers as my friends and allies in the cause of liberty and good gov- ernment."
 The program is the joint en- deavor of the FBI and Equitable Life Assurance Society of United States to combat juvenile delin- quency by impressing upon young sters their responsibilities as junior citizens. Equitable foots the bill as public service. The FBI provides the program.
 In the dozen or more cities where the program already has been held, boys and girls turned out in force. Several more programs will be held during the summer nonthS-ln Birmingham, Ala; Portland, Me; Louisville, Ky; and St. Louis. By fall, a new schedule will be started that will cover some 200 cities dur ing the coming school year.
 The show that has been packing the youngsters in auditoriums from Springfield, Mass, to Sar Antonio, Tex, is the FBI in ac. tion.' The program includes movie of FBI methods, show of weapons used by the FBI to combat crime and-the number that always brings down the house-a demon stration of judo by FBI experts.
 J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director feels that the plan for youth offers fine opportunity for accomplishing great deal of good throughout the nation.
 Patriotic boys of America can be of real and valuable assistance to the Federal Bureau of Investigation ir it's constant war on crime by signing and living up to the Americans Pledge" Hoover says.
 The meetings, he thinks, "offel the boys a worthwhile chance tt learn something of our work and tt learn how they, personally, can CO operate not only with their local lav enforcement agencies but the na tional offices of the Federal Bureal of Investigation in Washington.

 The switchmen, conductors and flremen have indicated willing ness to take e higher basic wage in crease in lieu of rules changes just now. They are understood to feel that their rules changes, which were proposed during the war to obtain fringe adjustments under the wartime wage stabilization pro- gram, are now outmoded.
