Treaty Violation Laid
To Romania by Britain
By the A,.eeioted Pres,

LONDON, June 26-Britain has
charged Romania with violating
peace treaty conditions by using
methods reminiscent of those en-
ployed by the German secret police"
against political prisoners, a Foreign
ONCE spokesman said today. The
United States made a similar pro-
test to the Romanian government
yesterday.
Adrian Holman, British political
representative in Bucharest, warned
Romania 1t was impossible for
Britain to overlook "indiscriminate
arrests" of the Romanian govern
ment's political opponents. He said
the arrests included "old men and
students, priests and professors, in
many cases with no political affilia-
tions, who were simply deprived of
their freedom indefinitely on sus-
picion Of subversive activities"
Britain's policy on Hungary, For
eign Secretary Bevin says, is to
watch developments closely" and
adjust our policy, both political and
economic, to the Hungarian govern
ment in the light of events during
the coming months"
Mr.. Bevin, making this declara-
ton yesterday in a written reply
to a parliamentary questioner, told
the House of Commons the British
Ambassador in Moscow had been
instructed to express Britain's
regrets" at the way Russia had
answered two British requests for
information on Hungarian political
changes.
He said these requests had
brought only "unsubstantiated de-
mails and counter-accuSations" and
that since information has been
withheld, the government are
forced to draw their own conclu-
sions."
Hungary's Premier Ferenc Macy
resigned a few weeks ago under
Communist pressure.

Peru s0ferfo Resume
Interest on is Million
In Bonds Assaied
BY IN. A.seeio..d press

NEW YORK, June 26.-The Re-
public Of Peru today offered to re-
sumo interest payments on s76, 6,461,-l
800 of defaulted bonds and the pro-
posal was Immediately termed "arbi-
trary and unjust" by the Foreign
Bondholders' Protective Council.
The Peruvian offer, announced by
DR.. Jose Barreda Moller, special
delegate of the Ministry of Finance,
stated that holders of four issues of
outstanding dollar bonds could ex-l
change their bonds for an equal
principal amount OF new bonds due
1897.
The new issue would bear interest
ut the following rates: 1s47-s, per
cent; 1949-5o, IL per cent; 1872,
2 per cent; 1858 to maturity, 214
per cent.
Negotiating Since March.
DR.. Barreda said he had been In
New York since March negotiating
with the Bondholders' Council, but
was unable to reach an agreement.
The terms now offered, he said,
are the maximum Peru is able to pay
In the light of the amount OF the
debt, Peru's foreign exchange re-
sources and her estimated future
foreign exchange income and re-
quirements.
The Council issued the following
comment:
THE offer calls for the complete
cancellation of 1871 to more than 16
years of arrears of interest in de-
fault. amounting in the case of the
nation per cent issue and the
province of Callao bonds to more
than the principal of the bonds, and
in the case of the other national is
sues 1.-TWO 6 per cent issues to ap-
proximately 80 per cent.
Welcomes Recognition.
1.-THE cancellation is arbitrary and
unjust. Any bond adjustment
should give some recognition to in
terest arrears.
THE ultimate interest rate of 21z
per cent is lower than the Council
has ever agreed to recommend for
foreign national bonds. 1t is un-
fair"
The Council added 1t welcomes
the evidence that Peru recognizes It's
debt and the Importance of refla-
bilitating It's credit in this country"
but concluded:
THE Council recommends against
the acceptance OF this offer"

ting the unhappy couple together
in a little old converted house
apartment with a significant nur-
sery as the scene of the inevitable
ending.
Relief from the exploding cliches
of Living in a Big Way" is pro-
vided by Kelly's dancing.
On this score, moviegoers need
not be told that he is Fred Astaire's
worthy successor in Hollywood. Like
Astaire he has been blessed not
only with supple, durable BODY
but also with lively imagination
which invests his every tap and
step with freshness. Actually, the
only time the pictures allusion to
veterans housing makes sense Is
when Kelly dances through a con-
struction project from basement to
gable peak.
Another dance of his coming that
has intelligence and comic point
in it is a courtship number in
which the symbolic object OF his
affections is a statue in the garden
of his wayward bride.
A third beguiling item in Kelly's
repertory in the picture is routine
that takes him through the whole
series of sidewalk and playground
games which occupy the attention
of small girls in the summer.
Metro counted heavily upon this
aspect of Living in A Big Way"
Otherwise, its faith in its musical
recipe would have been painfully
betrayed.
The spirit of festival is in the
stage show which Gene Ford has
contrived for this weeks Capitol
program. Highlight of the bill is
the comedy acrobatic performance
of the three Craddocks, unless the
fans of Marjorie Knapp want to de-
bate that anything could be more
invigorating than her way with a
song, or several songs.
Beyond these, the bill Is COM
pleted by the dancing of the Doll
noffs and Raya Sisters with the
comedy approximations of George
Kaye.
A Cavalcade of America "over-
ture" comes at the end of the
stage show with the Justin Lawrie
singers and a narration by Charles
Edwards of radio station WMAL.
Evening star., 1947-07-04

says bosh to this, which is also
Aunt Mary's word most likely. 1t
knows that the principal ingredient
of a musical is that its heart shall
be in the right place. This means
that it shall be filled with agreeable
people singing and dancing their
way through everyday problems un-
til they reach happy ending.
Such a musical as this Is Living
in A Big Way" which opened yes
terday at Loew's Capitol. It's stars
are Gene Kelly, a talented singing
and dancing Irishman, and Marie
Macdonald whose existence is justi-
fed solely by her shape. Wisely
enough for entertainment purposes,
the picture is left largely to Kelly
with Miss Macdonald introduced
primarily for the purpose Of long,
low whistles.

Living in A Big Way" might have
been a chapter left in his waste
basket by one of the writers who
lost his job when the Hardy series
was abandoned by the studio. 1t
is credited to Director Gregory La
Cava whose reputation for writing
his screenplays eXtemporaneously is
fully supported bv the casual un-
ims ginativeness of the work.
1t rolls along between Kelly's
songs and dances dealing DULY. or
impertinently, with such current
themes as wartime marriages veer-
ing for the rocks, veterans housing,
and with hints that war proflteers
wish they were back in their shirt
sleeves instead of having to live up
to their new standard of income.
There are other ideas treated with
equivalent nonsense, but those men
toned should warn moviegoers that
this Is just light summer entertain
ment.
At the best, that is what 1t is.
1t is not always at its best.

Kelly's role Is that Of an Air
Forces lieutenant tin three years,
he never moved up barr who comes
back to find his pre-embarkation
bride a much changed girl.
Her old man has made fortune,
bought palace with a swimming
pool, has been adopted by the
predatory element of Cafe Society,
and lives under the contempt of a
butler who despises the new rich.
Naturally, the girl is quite upset
TO be reminded that she once mar
ried a roguish Irish minstrel type.
She wants a divorce which neither
Kelly nor the Johnston office feel
