Broadway Sfoge
Hit At Ceramic
Theofer Frid oy

"Dream Grip, the smash Broad
way stage play which will be pre-
sented here on Friday evening,
Nov. 7, at Ceramic Theater, deals
with a day in the life and dreams
of Georgina Allerton-an everyday,
ordinary young woman who might
be your neighbor, your co-worker,
or even yourself.
The author is Elmer Rice, one of
the foremost and most prolific of
American playwrights. He has
authored or coauthored twenty-five
plays in his thirty-one years on
Broadway. His first was an impress
sionistic drama, "The Adding Ma
chine" and his latest is Dream
Grip. In between he has written,
among many others, such fabulous
hits as Street Scene" (now en-
joying a fevival on Broadway as a
musicaD, Counselor At Law,
"We, The People, Between Two
Worlds, Flight To The West"
american Landscape" and "A New
Life.
Dream Girl" became an imme-
date and overwhelming hit when
it opened on Broadway just before
Christmas, 1945. The play was
equally successful in Chicago where
it started lengthy run, in Septem-
Der, 1916.
The plot deals with a bookshop
proprietress who dreams of her
brother-i in-law with whom she
thinks she is in love, a wolfish
bookman and a rude newspaper
man. The play covers day in her
real life and in her day dreams in
which she sees herself on an amor
Gus weekend in Mexico, as a tragic
trollop, an overnight success as a
Shakespearean actress, and in 9TH
er amusing and imaginative circum-
stances until 400 A. M. when
she finds herself bride in Green
witch (really).
Terry Clemes, as Georgina, heads
the all New York cast which in
cludes Robert Herman, Franklyn
George, Rita Burwell, Henry Velez,
Josef Emrek, Penny Kasper and
others.
The play was directed by Stanley
Woolf and sets and lighting are
by Fowler of New York.

CREEDON RESIGNS
UNDER UNION FIRE

Washington (LPA)-Nat'l Hous-
ing Expediter Frank R. Creedon
quit last week after being under
fire from unions and liberals for
the past two months.
Creedon, known to be in Presi-
dent Truman's "dog-hOuse" for
some time, had been asked to re-
sign by the Int'l Association of Ma
chinists-unaffiliated and had been
criticized by top AFL and ClO Of
ficials. His policies, according to
labor leaders, almost made mock
cry of what is left of rent controls.
He permitted a 596 increase in
Louisville, on recommendations
from a packed" board without
public hearings, and approved re-
moval of rent ceilings entirely in
several areas.
Under Creedon, labor discovered
that local rent control boards thru
out the country were packed with
businessmen, bankers and profess
sionals, with representatives of la
Dor in a small minority.

LABOR BACKS NEW DRIVE
TO FIND TREsCA SLAYER

Boston (LPA)- Representatives
Of major AFL and CIO unions met
here this week to "find some new
way to impel the New York auth
critics to run down the slavers" of
Carlo Tresca, anti-Fascist Italian
editor who was killed in 1943.
Labor, liberal and social organi-
cations have failed to get effective
action from the New York police
and the district attorneys office
despite the fact that Tresca's kill
ing has been widely regarded as a
political murder.
DR.. John Dewey, professor emer-
titus of philosophy at Columbia Uni
versity, said in message to the
meeting that Il hope that the ex-
pressed indignation of your gather
ing against the laws painfully
slow process, will spur the tagging
New York authorities to apprehend
and punish Tresca's assassins."

Disabled Veterans With Dependents
Held Needing F a miIy Allowances

st. Paul (ILNS)-Soaring food
and other living costs are leopard
izing the welfare of Americas dis
abled veterans and their families,
John S. Golob, national commander
of the Disabled American Veterans,
declared here in an appeal for de-
pendency allowance for wives and
children of handicapped ex-service-
men.
Speaking before the national con-
vention of the Jewish War Veter-
ans, Golob said that service Off
GERS of his organization were be-
ing flooded with requests from dis
abled veterans to take action to-
ward obtaining increased benefits.
Living costs have hit an all
time high" Golob said, "and as a
result the disabled veteran and his
family, that rely to great extent
on fixed government compensation,
are being forced to greatly reduce
their standards of living, which at
best are ao3e to good.
"Under cur prese mt compensa
tion rating system, disabled vet
eran, marrie;:, witt number of
children, receives 70 more compen-
sation than a single veteran with
like disabilities.
at is the obligation Of the gov
ernment not only to provide ade-
quate compensation to the wards
abled veteran, but to make possible
normal farliiv life Cor his depen-
dents"

much like speaking in a monotone.
A speaker using monotone can put
large part of his audience TO
sleep.
1t is true that it is not possible
for most persons to make special
study of public speaking, but every
person can say to himself, "What
does my voice sound like to 9TH
ers ?"
Another pair of words over-work-
ed in denouncing the Taft-Hartley
Act are the words, "slave labor.
1t is possible to apply those words
TO the Taft Hartley Act, but only
by a degree of modification Of the
word "slave". Strict dictionary def
milton of the word means, zone held
in bondage, or one forced to work
against his will.
Of course, in battle men use ex-
treme measures and in debate they
are likely to use words to convey
extreme meanings.
The danger i'm such usage lies
in misinterpretation Of meaning
by others.
Proof of the point in this con-
nection is in the quickness with
which the commies have said, IN
effect, "aha, slavery in America"
Slapdash use of words too often
brings it's retribution.
The words "fascist" and "com-
munist" are used so loosely as to
dull their true meaning. Commun-
ism is a definite philosophy and
practice and so is fascism. But 1T
has become the custom in many
circles to use those words to des-
cribe any unliked person. 1t has
become monotonous and it encour-
ages inaccuracy of expression.
An excellent case in point is
found in the speech of John l..
Lewis in the AFofL convention.
He is an admirer of rich and quot
able phrases. He spoke of the hosts
of labor "led and flanked and hav-
ing their thinking done for them
by intellectually fat and stately
asses. He said, too, that he was
reminded of the Biblical parable,
lions led by asses"
Now the quotations do enrich the
text, but if dissected they can be
shown as inapplicable. For exam
pie, it is difficult to think of any
thing as being simultaneously fat
and stately. When we include an
other word from the quotation we
are further confused, because it
would be bit amazing to find
anything, or any person intellect
ually fat and lazy.
The slang expression "fat head"
would be in better taste, providing,
of course, that Mr.. Lewis was re-
ferring to a head, or the heads.
Much depends, here as is so often
the case, upon the point OF view;
| the position of the one who sees,
in relation to that which is seen.
Mr.. Lewis further complicated
his picture by inferring, in his fiat
and stately" phrase, that the MEM
bers were weaklings, while in the
Biblical quotation he sized them up
as lions.
Let us have respect for the Ian
guage of our country. 1t is, in
truth, noble language, of which
most of US know how to use only
limited number of words.
In many sections of the country
words are debased by mispronun-
citation. The use of the ed" sound,
where 18th" is meant, is but one OF
scores of mispronunciatiOns.
Sloppy pronunciation is perhaps
excusable at times, but it is never
good practice.
Someone has said that words are
golden, but they are truly golden
only when they are used to convey
intended meanings with accuracy.
Carelessly used "weasel words" are
almost as inexcusable as are those

In conclusion, DR.. Emerson says:
"In urging action for immediate
as we'll as long-range relief, |
should like to emphasize the fol-
lowing points: AS quickly as pos
sible and to the greatest extent pos
sible, the plans to implement the
Marshall Proposals should be
brought under the United Nations.
"While only the nations of west
ern Europe have elected to follow
Secretary Marshall's suggestion,
the door must be kept open to the
nations of eastern Europe for them
to come in whenever they indicate
a willingness to do so on construc-
tive terms. And obviously, advan-
tage must not be taken of the Mar
shall Proposals to give priority to
the rebuilding of German economy
over France and others who suffer
ed so badly from a war which was
brought on by Germany. Nor must
they be used to build Germany to
a place where she can dominate
in a palitical and economic sense"
Meanwhile" DR.. Emerson con-
tinues, "the course of events seems
to have run ahead of the schedule
of recovery. Since Secretary Mar

Attacking the policy Of Britain,
Crossman said that instead Of
breaking the Jews, it had placed
Britain at loggerheads with the
rest of the world" He urged that
"all British troops and Air Force
and Naval personnel, including the
Palestine Police, should immediate
ly be disengaged and concentrated
in GAIA awaiting evacuation" and
demanded that an effort should be
made to allow the Jews and Arabs
to police their respective terri
tories and that a United Nations
Commission in Jerusalem should
supervise the partition, regulate i'm
during the transition, and
enforce its authority through
small international police force"
Crossman insisted that the with
drawal of the British Army from
Palestine is an absolute necessity
because of the economic crisis; but
he also derided what he called ell
informed talk" about using Pales-
tine as base for guarding the oil
fields. "In war against Russia"
he said, mo army based in Pales-
tine could defend the American or
Persian oil fields"

Many a speaker, knowing the
proper use of words, deliberately
misuses words so that his hearers
will not think him "highbrow".

to lead to the same conclusion. We
have passed the time for either Of
those manifestations of sloppiness

Let us return to the discussion OF
words and the use Of words.
Many words are being used IN
public discussions in such a man
ner as to deprive them of their
force or to convey cloudy mean
ing.
That, for example, the word
vicious. In two labor conventions
this one word may have been used
thousand times, in speeches con-
demning the Taft Hartley Act.
The word does convey the mean
ing intended by the speakers, but
it's endless repetition robs 1t OF its
force. There are so many other
words that could be used that 1t Is
inadvisable to use one to excess.
Speeches are given color and force
by reason of wise selection OF
words.
Use of one word repetitiously is
much like speaking in monotone.
A speaker using monotone can put
large part of his audience to
sleep.
1t is true that it is not possible
for most persons to make a special
study of public speaking, but every
person can say to himself, "What
does my voice sound like to 9th
ers ?"

Comment On World Events

shall's address at Harvard, the fl
nancial situation Of western Europe
has grown more acute despite an
improvement in the industrial stua-
ton. The dollar shortage makes i'm
perative immediate assistance while
the details of the more long range
plans to carry out the Marshall
Proposals are being worked out.
France, Italy and Austria must
have immediate relief.
Against the fact that much of
the cost of carrying out the Mar
shall Proposals will be borne by
the American people must be bal
anced the fact that American homes
were not bombed and our cities not
invaded, nor were our people i'm
poverished by war.
"Now is the time for bold imagi-
nation, for an appreciation of the
fact that American ideals and AM
erican interests in peace and pros
perity prompt bold leadership on
our part to implement the Mar
shall Proposals. +"
DR.. William Emerson, presi-
dent Of the American Association
for the United Nations, has set
forth compelling reasons for inn
mediate as well as long-range re-
lief under proposals made by Sec
retary of State Marshall. DR.. En-
erson emphasizes a points, saying:
Permanent peace, the European
recovery and American self-inter-
est dictate immediate relief and
long-range aid for Europe, as en-
visaged under the Marshall Pro-
posals.'
"Now that the nations of West
ern Europe have outlined their pro-
gram of mutual help and the aid
needed from this country from now
until 1851 for recovery, the United
States should promptly indicate
that this aid will be forthcoming.
1t is tragic that several valuable
years have been lost before the eco
nomic plight of Europe was finally
determined and constructive pro-
gram forthcoming, but it is not too
late to restore Europe's economy
quickly if the program is carried
out"

The recent election in Hungary,
which the Communists control, was
a striking example of what the Rus
slams call democracy" the Rail-
way Clerk says, going on to COM
ment as follows:
ain preparation for this election
the Communists first took away the
right to vote of 100000 persons
whom they thought would vote
against them. Then they issued to
Communists voting certificates
which allowed them to vote as high
as 20 times. Armed with these cer-
tificates, Communist voting squads
roved the country to vote their al
lotted score of ballots in as many
different voting booths. Just why
these certificate voters were not
allowed to vote all 20 ballots in one
precinct is not apparent to anyone
but a Communist. 1t certainly would
have been more convenient and the
result would have been the same.)
ain spite of all this skullduggery,
the gain in Communist strength
was only about 5 per cent. But that
was enough to win.
"That brand of democracy is
hardly calculated to win friends
and influence people among the
European neighbors of the Soviet
Union"
