Draft Of Legislation
For Wartime Controls
ToGoto Board in Week
By John A. Giles

A draft OF standby legislation to
invoke selective price, wage and ra-
tioning controls in the event Of war
will be ready within a week for the
review by the National Security Re-
sources Board, before it is submitted
to President Truman, 1t was learned
today.
The board, whose duty 1t is to ad-
wise the President on the co-ordina-
ton Of wartime mobilization plans,
had planned a two-year study OF
controls. Soon after Mr.. Truman's
st. Patrick's Day speech. emphasiz-
ing the international situation and
the needs for greater national de-
fense. the board speeded up this
program, however. Board ohicials
have refused to say whether or not
Mr.. Truman ordered the speed-up.
Eberstadt Assisting.
Ferdinand Eberstadt, New York
investment banker and wartime VICE
chairman of the War Production
Board. has been called in to help
Chairman Arthur M Hill OF the
hoard. not only to draft the sug-
gested legislation, but to prepare an
organization plan as well. He has
been here two weeks on the assign
ment. A,
bernard Baruch, frequent Ad-
ministration adviser on economic
matters, who recently told Con-
press such wartime measures snouio
he nlaced on the statute books now,
also has conferred several times
with Mr.. Hill in recent weeks.
plans call for placing the controls
on the books and providing That
such powers could not be invoked
without Congressional approval.
Wartime Experience Studied.
Whether the board will recon-
mend the use Of such controls IN
any emergency short OF war re-
mained in doubt. Congress has been
cool to Mr.. Truman's appeals Tor
such measures to combat lnflatlon'
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Eberstadt have
been giving careful study to the ex-
periences of World War II, when
36 agencies administered the emer-
gency controls. They hope to rec
ommend an administrative set-up
that would eliminate the many
iurisdictional disputes common dur
ing the last war.
In addition to Mr.. Hill, members
of the board are the Secretaries OF
State. Treasury, Defense, Interior
Agriculture, Commerce and Labor
The board Is directly under the
President and soon will move from
the Pentagon to the old State De-
partment Building to be closer to
the White House and the Budget
Bureau.

of its season. 1t earned and received

Those first nighters, and other
nighters for u weeks, left the the
ater feeling that they never again
could tolerate the sight of anyone
else in the same play. To risk it
would be to profane beautiful
memory, of which they are so few
even in the lives of those who make
a cult of the drama.
Well, one of those rhapsodic first
nighters now recants. Not on his
ecstasy over the Gielgud production,
but rather on the feeling that the
play should then have been stored
away in whatever is the fashionable
name for moth balls.

nest" turned up again at the Olney
Theater last night, and it still is
an extraordinarily amusing play. 1t
lacks Gielgud and the ironic ele-
sance of that Broadway first night,
but clearly it merits another revival.
Jose Ferrer, Viola Roche, Frances
Reid make it vividly apparent that
Wilde, not just Gielgud and his COL
leagues, put a great deal into "The
Importance of Being Earnest"
This Is an excellent thing to know,

on the word groupings with which

what mankind has made of itself
The Olney's cast is more expert
than this. Tt rises to Wilde's archly
rounded artificialities as ifrit agreed
with him that what this world needs
| is a population exactly like Oscar
Wilde.
There are moments, to be sure,
when it seems this perfection of
mimicry might collapse in a heap
in the middle of the stage, but the
recoveries were always quick and
admirable.
Gerald Savory, who staged this
weeks Olney offering, approaches it
in much the same manner as Giel-
gud. He assumes that Wilde, come
to think of it. was really funny
man. His development of this thesis
is through the simple process of
letting Wilde's play speak for itself,
with director and players polishing
the artificial thing for all it is worth.
They make 1t seem worth sur
prising lot.
Mr.. Ferrer. no one needs to be
told, is the key man in this weeks
The Importance of Being Earnest" "
1t would be folly to expect of him
an Earnest so highly FURNISHED as
the one turned out by Mr.. Gielgud.
Yet in the time allotted to summer
theater stars, he has worked out a
fine artificial hero, an elegante who
has so perfected boredom that he
finds even his own social set in
tolerable. The solitary exception
among his associates, to be sure,
is the enticing Lady Gwendolyn
Fairfax, an even more superb artist
in the sphere of vanity.
Their scenes of icily refined
courtship are among the plays
wittiest passages and Miss Reid, as
Lady GWendolyn, is an actress who
might in time make one forget that
he once had seen Pamela Brown
play the same role.
The Olneys resident company
provides a superb Lady Bracknell
for the Wilde comedy. She is Viola
Roche, a veteran hand at artificial
comedy, who finds Lady Brack-
nell's naughty composites one of
the brilliant invitations of her
summers repertory.
The lot of playing Wilde's own
man (the character representing
Oscar falls to William Nichols.
Mr.. Nichols is quite unabashed by
the assignment. As Algernon Mon
crieff, the artful lover, Earnest's
most fascile heckler, and the
comedys most reckless poseur, he
contributes more than his measure
of acid wit to the Olney's funny
doings.

Flying during the autumn
