UnQueStlonably touching profess
Slonal heights In many sequences,
the youthful players energetic, an
mated and fun.loVing--found On
excellent vehicle for their abilities
in r. Hugh Herhert's comedy OF
adoleSeent love,
Little Improvement could have
been asked In the presentation by
Margaret HoVey Of the prankish
CorlisS Palmer, who could not walt
for sweet 10 to taste fully Of the
joys Of life and love. Poised, pretty
and provocative, Miss Hovey did an
expert Job OF presenting the Cor
liss Of many moods and flighty
Imagination.
Eugene Iaffreda was SO natural
and poignantly real in the role OF
the gullible, trusting and "drtppy'
Dexter Franklin, his performance
definitely outshoWn that OF the
Broadway teen-ager whose first love
lead TO the depth Of adolescent de-
SPAR. Every time the tall, lanky
Eugene appeared on stage, deep In
the woes OF CorliSS's making, he
provoked many laughs,
The problems and worries OF MIL
lions OF parents OF teen-age girls,
presented without restraint or pull
ing Of punches by Playwright Her
bert, fell upon the shoulders OF
Mary Lou Clemente and George
HolSer who ably fretted through
the three acts.
The audience rocked when Father
Archer returned following q bout
with neighbor Pringle when he de-
manded cessation Of inSinuations
AGAINST Corllss's character and re.
turned with q bloody nose In lieu OF
success.
Miss Clemente and Miss Hovey,

daughter Of the house was I'm

Of weeping women,
Other honors for fine evening
OF entertainment went to Armand

Oil TideIand Is Issue
For Court, Senate Told
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator Barkley, Democrat, of
Kentucky urged the Senate today to
let the Supreme Court decide
whether the States or the Federal
Government own the oil-rich off,
shore lands.
The Senate majority leader oues-
toned the propriety OF congressional
action on a resolution surrendering
any Federal claim to the lands
while a Government suit to deter
mine ownership is pending in the
court. He said it is a legal issue.
Senate proponents of the resolu-
tion argued, however, that it is a
question of national policy and not
at all improper for Congress to
settle.
Chairman McCarran of the Judici-
ary Committee said the resolution
Is designed merely to give the States
clear title to submerged lands
that he contended always have been
theirs. He declared the Supreme
Court already has decided the own
ership question 81 times in favor oi
| the States.
Senator Barkley countered that
the ownership of lands between low
water mark and the three-mile limit
was not involved in any of the pre-
vious Supreme Court cases. e.
The Senate began consideration oil
the legislation yesterday after voting
46 to II, to take up the House
approved resolution Immediately.

Protests Mark CLEARING
Of 'SupersenioritY' Bill
By the Asseeioted Press

Legislation to relieve employers of
"superseniority" claims emerged
from the Senate Military Affairs
Committee yesterday over protests
Of several members.
Chairman Thomas said a minority
report will be filed and that even
though the House has approved the
measure it may die in the Senate
with adjournment.
The bill, by Senator Gurney, Re-
publican, of South Dakota would
prevent suits or claims against en-
ployers by nonveterans who were
displaced by veterans under an in
depreciation of the Draft Act made
by selective service officials.
This Interpretation later was re-
versed by a Supreme Court decision
that veterans had equal but not su-
perior claims for employment or
promotion.

Illinois Legislature Called
For Renf-ControI Action
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 20.-Gov. Dwight
H. Green today called special
session of the Illinois Legislature
for next Tuesday to deal with what
he termed "the critical rent situa-
ton"
He said he would request the
Assembly to enact, before August /,
a moratorium on evictions and
emergency legislation which, in the
absence of Federal controls, would
freeze all residential rents in the
State (evailing in June.
Gov. Green, a Republican, said
conferences in Washington this week
convinced him that "a vast major
ity of the members of Congress
favor Federal rent legislation" but
that President Truman's "insistence
on the retention of many provisions"
in the OPA bill which are "unpopu-
lar with the people and unacceptable
to the Congress makes it extremely
uncertain when the rent legislation
will be enacted"

Premature Blast Blamed
On Stray Radio Signal
BY the hssocioted Press

ABOARD u. S. S. MT. McKIN-
LEY, July 20.-Premature detona-
ton of an electronically fired mag
nesium flare has raised the posi-
bility that complete radio silence
will be imposed on the atomic test
task force at the time the second
test bomb is exploded.
Vice Admiral w. H. p. Blandy told
reporters today that "a stray radio
signal of some kind" caused yes
terday's premature explosion during
rehearsal of the test. Admiral
Blandy, atom test commander, said
indications were the stray impulse
came from the Mckinley, but that
he awaited results of a rest of all
communication and radar signals.
The bomb itself Is to be detonated

Tuck Reports Virginia
Realty Men Hold Line
BY the As.oeioted Pre:s

RICHMOND, Va, July 2o-Al-
though scattered complaints on
rent increases since the demise of
OPA continue to reach his Office,
Gov. Tuck says that the situation
does not appear to justify a special
session of the Legislature at this
time for consideration of rent con-
troll.
The Governor said it appears that
real estate men generally have con-
sclentlously endeavored to hold the
line and that the complaints COM
ing to him seemed to indicate that
the drastic increases were for the
most part demanded by individual
property owners.
