For weeks DR.. Bradley had been
preparing himself for the proper
representation of this celebrated
character.
He had thoroughly familiarized
himself with the text and the stage
action.
Many rehearsals had taken
place. Every one felt assured OF
a brilliant performance.
In short, DR.. Bradley had de-

GROWING glory of his Thalian the

A few evenings before the per-
Torrance was to be given, a final
tull-dress rehearsal was called.
Each actor was in his place.
The scenery was properly ar
ranged. The rehearsal moved with
the perfection and precision that
comes only from practice.
Then came the last and most
thrilling scene in the play.
This is the scene in which
Damon rushes in, dust covered
and faint from exhaustion, in the
split second of time which saves
his friend Pythias from the blade
Of the executioner.
In order to invest this scene
with verisimilitude, DR.. Bradley

Bill Eliminates Threat
OfCensus Unit Shift

A former House appropriations
bill threat to force about 300 Census
Bureau employees to move to New
York apparently has been removed
by wording of the 1s48 Commerce
Department supply bill now before
the Senate.
The measure, reported yesterday
by the Senate Appropriations Com
Imittee, would provide that $780,
1000 of the $5,845, 900 funds for the
Census Bureau might be spent in
Washington.
Department officials estimate this
will permit retention of the en-
ployes in the Foreign Trade Statis-
tics sections at Suitland. A move in
the House had attempted to force
| their removal to New York, to conf
solidate there the work OF handling
such statistics.
The Senate committee allocated
81, ,102 500 to the Washington Ma
tional Airport, compared with the
House figure of $1,236,0 900, but the
reduction was made only because
an item for traffic control tower
maintenance had been shifted from
the local airport to the general
funds for tower maintenance
Throughout the country.
Commerce Department appropri-
ations, however, were cut by the
lSenate to $192 ,232 900, a reduction
of about $4,000, 900 below the House
lbill. Some cut in personnel will have
to be made on this account, officials
lsaid. They could not estimate how
lmanY PERSONS would lose their Jobs.
