hearsals got under way, there was
one role that still hadn't been
cast. In their desperation, they
drafted Kazan for the role.
To his surprise, he was a sue
cess as an actor; he even got at
tention from the critics. So, for
the next six years, from 1885 to
1911. he couldn't avoid acting"
Meanwhile he played opposite
Frances Farmer in Golden Boy"
opposite Sylvia Sidney in "The
Gentle People," and opposite In
grid Bergman in a Broadway re-
vival of "Lilion." He climbed up
to a salary of $500 week. The
way he puts it is: "For an odd
looking guy, did all right" But
what he wanted to do was to di-
rect. And he "kept making stabs
at it, without much success"
En- route he acquired ownership
of a play, "Blues In The Night"
When he couldn't raise the neces-
sary funds to put it on, he sold
the play to the movies. Warner
Bros, who made the purchase,
wanted him to act in the picture.
He succumbed to the offer, and
also appeared in "City For Con-
quest" opposite James Cagney,
staying in Hollywood a total of
IL weeks.
Back in New York, he appeared
in a few more plays, and kept on
trying to direct a few. AS stage
director, he finally clicked, in a
mild way, with "Cafe Crown"
Thornton Wilder saw the play and
wanted him to direct "Skin Of Our
Teeth" Wiilder's dramatic fan
tasy won the Pulitzer Prize; the
star, Tallulah Bankhead, won the
Drama Critics Award for the
years best performance; and Ella
Kazan won the Critics Award for
the years best direction!
AS follow-up, he directed the
lavish musical, zone Touch of
Venus" and then turned around
and directed Helen Hayes in
Harriet" He had three hits on

sational accomplishment. "a lot of
it was luck" he claims. Holly
wood scouts came pounding on his
door, pleading with him to donate
his talents to the screen.
While he pondered the offers,
which came from every major
studio, he directed "Jacobowsky
and the Colonel" by Franz Werfel,
which became a Theatre Guild hit.
He signed with Goth Century
Fox for three reasons: CD Produc-
ton head Daryl F. Zanuck was
willing to give him the "two kinds
of freedom" he wanted; (2) he was
offered the chance to direct "a
Tree Grows In Brooklyn" which
appealed to him as something
truthful, something that touched
and moved me, something that
embodied universal experience;
and 60 Louis Lighton was assign
ed as producer.
Kazan arrived in Hollywood
without fanfare in March, 1914, to
direct the tests for the picture, as
well as the picture itself. "a Tree
Grows In Brooklyn" marked his
directional debut in Hollywood. 1T
turned out to be one of the sensa-
tional box-office hits of the year.

NatiOnalists May Lose Manchuria

PEIPING, (P) - Chinese Com munists smashed into Szepkingkai today, increasing the gravity of the situation of Nationalist forces battling to hold on Manchuria, which some observers feared might be completely lost by the government.
 Chinese dispatches said about 5000 Red army troops had sur rounded the battered rail center, 70 miles southwest of Changchun. Manchurian capital. Advance Communist units engaged in street fighting with garrison defenders.
 Pushing into the western sector of the downtown area, the attack CTS wrested control of the central bank building-provincial gov ernment headquarters-but na- tionalists succeeded in recaptur- ing it after bitter fighting, the press accounts said.
 The Szepingkai garrison was re- ported in a desperate flight, con- suming ammunition faster than it could be dropped from planes and shelled by Red artillery set up in- side the outskirts of the city.
 Reports from Manchuria re- flected no halt in the Red army's progressive attacks against vital communications lines linking Chi na proper with partially-encicled Mukden.
 Gen. Sun Li-Jen, deputy com mander in Manchuria and former commandant of the new first army, now encircled inside Chang chun. was ordered to terminate his Nanking visit and return to Mukden immediately.

England Not To Delay On Aid-To- Europe Plan

LONDON, (P)-British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin VOWS that in launching a cooperative effort for European economy recovery under the Marshall plan he in- tends to brook no delays such as those which stymied the recent foreign ministers conference in Moscow.
 Eagerly awaiting a response from Russia to a joint British French request that the Soviet Union participate in drafting an aid-to-Europe program, Bevin de- clared in the House of Commons last night that "the guiding prin- ciple I shall follow in any talks I have. on this matter will be speed"
 "I spent six weeks in Moscow trying to get settlement" he as- serted. "I shall not be a party to holding up the economic recovery of Europe by the mess of proceed ure terms of reference or all the paraphernalia which may go with it."
 The British press gathered from the tone of Bevin's speech that Britain and France definitely in- tended to go ahead with work un- der the suggestions made two weeks ago by Secretary of State George C. Marshall-either with or without Russian participation.
 Marshall said in a speech at Harvard university that future American dollar aid to Europe should be based on a Continental program outlining the economic requirements of the situation drawn up by "a number, if not all European nations"
 Russian sources in London said Soviet Ambassador Georgi Zagu- bin left London secretely three or four days ago to discuss the Mar shall proposals in Moscow.

Barrow To Have Novel Vehicle

SEATTLE, (P)-A farm tractor, its wheels yanked off and re- placed with skis in front and with 'half tracks" in the rear, will go to Barrow, Alaska, this summer to help the Rev. Samuel Hulze carry on his missionary work among the Eskimos.
 The Shaffer tractor and imple- ment company here said the order for the odd machine was accom- panied by an explanation that some sort of transportation was needed to carry water four miles to the mission. If a satisfactory ve- hicle would not be found, it was told, the mission would have to close or spend a tremendous amount" of money to have the water hauled by dog team.
 Skis for the tractor were made of stainless steel.

West Coast Ships Sail On Employer Union Truce

SAN FRANCISCO, (P - Ships sailed from West Coast ports to- day under an employer-union truce while the two unions with out contracts and some which had renewed theirs for year set their sights on five per cent wage in crease won in the east.
 As labor department trouble shooter renewed the negotiations with two CIO unions, it became evident that the eastern settle ment would have growing effects on the west coast.
 Vincent Malone, whose inde- pendent marine firemen recently signed on extension of contract for a year without wage changes, said trouble might be expected among his men unless they received the same increase as other unions.
 Representatives of CIO marine engineers beneficial association, which had sought a six per cent wage hike then settled for years extension minus wage changes, also indicated they planned to de- mand the five per cent increase.
 The two CIO unions still with out contracts, the marine cooks and the radio operators, are ex- pected to seek the same advances.
 The cooks had refused to sign sailing articles, thus slowly para lyzing shipping, but yesterdays truce meant release for 200 ships.
 Cooks unions up and down the coast quickly ratified the truce at meetings. The radio operators ne- gotiations committee had power to ratify it and did.
 Among features of the interim agreement were:
 Work will continue under the old contract, except that the pro- vision for a wage review this month for the cooks will be sus- pended during negotiations.
 Any stewards shipping out be- fore final agreement is reached will receive benefits of any new contract.
 Negotiations will continue-un- til they result in agreement" said Nathan P. Feinsinger of the labor department.

House Overrides Presidents Veto Of Labor Bill

WASHINGTON, (R)-President Truman vetoed today the Taft Hartley bill to curb labor unions and an aroused House swiftly and overwhelmingly passed it over the veto.
 That put it up to the Senate to clinch the decision on whether the bill is to become law over the Presidents disapproval. It will vote late today or possibly tomor- row.
 The Senate is expected general ly to override the veto, but both sides concede the vote will be close.
 With two to one margin need ed to override a veto, the House vote was 331 to 83. That was 165 more "ayes" than necessary.
 In his big battle with Congress over the issue, MT. Truman called in group of leading Democratic Senators for White House lunch eon-presumably to talk over the veto. He also announced plans to go on the radio tonight and give the people directly his arguments. against the bill. He will speak over all networks at 3 pm. Nome time).
 Senator Taft R.-Ohio), one of the measures sponsors and chair man of the Senate Republican pol icy committee, arranged to follow MT. Truman at 6:45 pm. with his side. He will speak over MES.
 In a $500 word message to the House, MT. Truman laid down four general and 32 specific points of opposition to the bill to check strikes and unions. He labelled it unfair" and unavoidable" He said it would promote strikes.
 The House listened while a clerk droned though the long message. Then came the vote which smothered the veto under a deluge of both Republican and Democratic votes.
 That action did this:
 1. Propelled the labor issue di- rectly into the 1948 political cam paign.
