A Short Story
ME two of us had been on the river ten

from the jungle, probably wondering what we
were up to and debating whether or not to
jump us. These natives were known as Bugis.

the registrant was mailed notice
that he had been found acceptable

Orders to report for induction
must be mailed not less than 10
days before the date fixed for re-

Local boards, meanwhile, must
mail classification questionnaires to
25-year-old registrants who are un-
married and nonveterans by Sep
tember Z. As soon as these ques-
tionnaires are processed, others will
be mailed out, officials said.
Instead of the four basic classes
q, 2, 3 and A. used during World
War II, fifth class will be set
up for men within the 25-year
limit when they register, but who
pass the age before they are called,
officials said.
Registrants will have 10 days to
appeal from any determination OF
a local board, except that there
shall be no appeal from a medical
determination, according to new
rulings.
The regulations, an official said,
will provide generally that except
where the registrant has submitted
To the local board completely salts

sion to the contrary, the registrant
shall be regarded as available for
service (Class 1-A)."
Maj. Gen. John E. Dahlquist, dep

that the time for the first call has

New Yorker Submits
New Offer for Lease
'0f BeIasco Theater

Another effort to restore the old
Belasco Theater as legitimate
playhouse will be made today or to-
morrow in discussions with the
Public Buildings Administration.
A fresh proposal to lease the
property will be made by Joseph
H. Curtis, New York theater op-
orator, through his Washington
representative.
There IS also the likelihood that
the American National Theater and
Academy, of New York, will make
a second bid for the theater.
Both interests were turned down
in their first efforts to obtain the
Government-owned playhouse last
month. --t

resenting Mr.. Curtis here, said he
would take the new offer to John
L. Nagle, deputy public buildings
administrator. He would not dis
close terms of the proposal. but
said they should be acceptable if
the PBA really wishes to lease the
property.
Arthur c. Katims, attorney hand
ling the ANTA's interests here,
learned today that pending another
meeting of directors, ANITA is in no
position to act on his suggestion for
submitting revised offer.
However, ANITA is still interested
in the project and must be con-
sidered as a potential applicant for
the theater, Mr.. Katims said. In
the meantime, the group has indi-
Gated no official interest in any other
theater here, he said.
On the other hand, Mr.. Cohen
said that Mr.. Curtis is interested in
bargaining for the Strand Theater,

other property in the event PBA
