0pERETTA GIVEN SUCCES5fULLYT0
 LARGE AUDIENCE

The Forest Prince" first oper- etta staged by Juneau High School in many years, was presented last evening before an enthusiastic and appreciative audience in the High School gymnasium.
 Under the direction of Miss Cor della Keppinger and Miss Helen Schaeffer, the chorus successfully conducted themselves through the story of a band of Russian Cos sacks holding captive in the forest the Princess Tatiana from the Tsar's court in Moscow
 Juneau high school is fortunate in having such musical talent, and students who will spend extra-cur- ricular time in such a difficult ef- fort as the production of com plete operetta.
 Claire Folta was most lovely and gracious as the Princess, and dis played unusual ability with the warmth and quality of her singing voice. Alone among the soloists in the cast. Miss Folta sang with feeling and assurance.
 Roger Pegues, who took the part of Vaslav, chief of the Cossack band, possesses the makings of a fine young singer, although cer- tain lack of assurance before an audience held him down last night He perked up at the close of the final scene to steal an unscheduled kiss from his heroine.
 Others in the cast presented fine performances, particularly Wally Kleweno as Ivan, comical bearded member of the Cossack band. Bud dy Hunter as the Court Jester stole a few scenes, and other members of the cast did capable character izations.
 Dolores and Paula Friemuth, the two dancers, deserved and received from the audience a special round of applause. The Waltz of the Flowers in the second act was es- pecially enjoyable, as the Glee Club streWed the stage with pink roses. Their second dance number was also artistically done.
 Tie Girls Glee group were most commendable in their singing, par ticularly for their clear diction, and more than one good voice in the group was noticeable as giving promise of new girls voices avail able for solo work.
 Ccstuming of the production was most enjoyable feature Not alone the principal performers whose cos tunes were especially ordered, but all the members of the cast had apparently put considerable effort into their costumes.
 Perhaps the greatest help to the operetta might have been an or chestral accompaniment, more than just one piano, which could have  bolstered the singing. Josephine Hared did excellently however as the accompanist. Never having heard professional singing on stage, the young cast had no idea what they should sound like; nor how much better they would have been had they sung as enthusiastic cally as they cheered Prince Vaslav.
 Juneau High School is extremely unfortunate in having no more suitable auditorium for such pro- auctions than the gymnasium with its makeshift stage In fact, but for the labor of shop students under Henry Harmon, there would be no stage at all Stage settings were good however, three complete changes.

The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-If you want the full picture behind American in- terest in Greece and Turkey, take a look at the books of the Export Import Bank also at the loans made by the Reconstruction Fin ance Corporation to King Ibn Saud of Arabia.
 Hook this up with the tremen- the U. s. Navy-and incidentally the tremendous prices paid by the Navy to the Arabian American Oil Company-and you have one of the great untold stories of the war Especially interesting is the reason why the Navy paid such high pric- es for this oil, in view of the fact that the United States Government was putting up total of S55000,000 to help Standard Oil of California and Texaco-the two oil companies which own the Arabian American Oil Company
 There is good reason, of course, for American Government interest in Arabia. With U. s. oil reserves now limited the U, s. Navy is now drawing about one-third its oil from this, the wealthiest of all re- maining fields And the Navy's strategists figure that if Russia se- cures control of Turkey, Greece and the Dardanelles, it would be only a short time before Arabia also would fall into the Soviet sphere of influence.

Oman Lays Tension
To Church-Sfate Issue
BY the Associofed Pres.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. l3.-
Bishop G. Bromley Oman of New
York told the Western North Caro-
lima Methodist Conference last
night that present tension between
Protestant Churches and the Ro-
man Catholic Church arises from
problems which are rooted in what
he called the Roman Catholic at
tempt to be both a church and a
state.
Bishop Oman said that "pres-
ent tension could be removed, and
Protestants earnestly desire its re-
moval, if the Roman Catholic
Church would enunciate doctrine
Of religious liberty based on the
principle of doing unto others as
it would be done by.
wherever Protestants have sought
to restrict the religious liberty of
Roman Catholics in the past or in
the present, American Protestants
stand ready to do all in their power
to end such restriction, and heartily
repent any such action; but they
call upon the hierarchy to affirm its
willingness to repent and to show
works mete for repentance in honest
efforts to maintain religious liberty"
Bishop Oman also discussed the
Protestant stand against the use of
public funds for Sectarian education.
American Protestants are I'M
alterably opposed" he said, ito the
use of public funds for the support
of sectarian education and will op-
pose the insistent efforts of the

I Commission Acted
On Many Matters
Opens With Debate

"opens Win DcDdtc
The City Commission meeting
started OF with . bang Tuesday
night with former Commissioner
wv. c. Sugar Sweeting and
Mayor W. w. Demeritt, engaging
in a good-natured but lively ver-
bal exchange.
Sweeting drew the attention Of
the commission to Sec. %, Of the
City Charter which he claims
contains direct conflict. In the
first paragraph it says. Sweeting
contends, that the city manager
has the power to discharge but
farther down in the same section
says he only has the power to
suspend.
Sweeting asked that the con-
flict be clarified while the State
Legislature is still in session.
|. Mayor Demeritt said he didn't
see any conflict and would never
allow the charter to give the
city manager ITO dismiss as he
sees fit". Sweeting said later
that he was not asking that the
city manager be given such a
power but only that the conflict
be clarified.
The commission consented to
renewal of the lease to the Unit
ed States Marine Corps of the
rifle range on Stock Island in
response to notification by
Capt. VIM. S. Witt that an appli
cation for a renewal is forth
coming.
The Commission was inform
ed by L. w. Joyner and J. M.
Whiteland of the City Electric
Examining Board that Robert H.
Roberts of Homestead received
grade of "a and Robert H. Rob-
erts, 923 Fleming street, a grade
of 80 in a master electricians
examination given May 2. Albert
Cruz passed journeyman klec-
trician test and Charles B. Par
ris of Porter Place passed as APP
pliance repairman.
Action was deferred by the
commission regarding an, appli-
cation Of a change in zone from
Resident Alb to Business B of
the Mary E. Roberts estate, when
no address was ascertainable.
Later it was identified as the
.Clarisse Roberts home, corner Of
Margaret and Division street, but
action was deferred.
The Commission approved an
ordinance paying a $4,000 debt to
The Key West Citizen, $18,091.-
so to the city electric system and
$727.77 to William A. Freeman,
agent, American Insurance Com
pany, New York for workmen's
compensation.
BY 3-ls votes two: measures
were passed providing the City
Electric System with approxi-
mately' $4,000 for extraordinary
equipment needs. Commissioners
Hunter Harden objected, saying
he would like to find out what
the money will be spent for.
A beer and wine license was
approved for H. B. Smith and
Henry L. Rogers who operate the
Atomic Lunch opposite the Over
seas Hotel on Fleming street.
In the closing moments OF the
meeting, Fred Albury asked the
commission who was going to de-
velop Garrison Blight and told
the members that some action is
expected on this question. Gerald
H. Adams protested at a sign
near the Municipal Stadium re-
serving an area for parking of
city officials. The commissioners
and city manager expressed no
knowledge of the ssign. Finally,

man at Poinciana, stated that it
