ALASKA STATEHOOD BILL IS HUNG Up IN PRESENT CONGRESS
Delegate Bartlett Sees Lif- file Hope of Getting
 Action Now
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, May 7.-lPl-- Delegate Bartlett of Alaska has about given up hope of getting the Territorys statehood bill through Congress this year
 He told a reporter today that in view of the Senate Interior Committees refusal to act on the Hawaii statehood bill T am not hopeful of getting the Alaska bill passed by the Senate, even if the House does approve it.
 And, House action is doubtful. The measure was approved un- animously hy the House Public Lands Committee.
 That sent it to the House Rules Committee, which decides what leg islation shall go before the House.
 Chairman Allen (R-IlD of the committee told reporter today he had no idea when he would be able to consider the statehood bill. There are so many pressing mea- sures, Allen said. that the com mittee is finding it difficult to handle all before the scheduled session ends June 18.
 He would not say the bill be brought up this session but left the impression that it is unlikely.
 
 Bartlett said he and Rep. Craw- ford (R-Mich), chairman If the House Territories Committee, have an appointment with Speaker Mar tin (R-Mass) Saturday to find out how the party leadership stands on the bill
 He said he still is hopeful it will be cleared hv the Rules Commit- tee He predicted it would pass the House ky substantial ma jority if it comes to a vote.

WASHINGTON Albert Goss, master of the National Grange, hluntly warned President Truman the other day that we are in viting another "dust bowl disaster unless we begin redeveloping the grasslands of the West.
 T have just returned from a trip to Wyoming and can tell you that the dangers are very real" reported Goss. There has been too much blowing up of the grass lands we developed as insurance against future dust storms"
 The grange leader, who is the ablest farm spokesman in Wash ington, explained that the high prices and demand for wheat for domestic and foreign aid were chiefly responsible, since farmers didn't want to maintain pasture lands when they could turn a quick profit on grain crops.
 Most people take it for grant, ed that we have licked the dust bowl hazards which caused such tragedy in the West some years back" added Goss. However, dust can blow again, and will blow in my opinion within the next few years unless those grasslands are restored"
 Goss also urged Truman to con- slider a more flexible" support price plan for farm products to

The Lunts. after three solid sea-
sons in 20 Mistress Mine" in this
country and in England, decided
they preferred a longer rest than
the original schedule would per-
NIT them.
Fond as they are of Broadway
they do like sabbatical from it.
When Jed Harris decided to open
The Heiress" cold on Broadway
last fall, giving the road a fine
spurning, there was a notion that
the famous producer director might
be setting precedent.
1t did not work out that way, but
Harris idea is being adopted this
season by one of the first pro-
ducers to get into action. He is
Marc Connolly. who will have no
prior o-Broadway tour in connec-
tion with polishing up his new
comedy, "A Story for Strangers"
Connelly's play will open officially
at the Royale Theater In New York
on September 81, after a week of
rehearsal performances before in
vited audiences. After these have
given it a proper polish. the critics
and the traditionally first-nighters
will be permitted their glimpse of it.

used to be in the opinion of some

The Italians seem to prefer their
theater entertainments theatrical.
Not for them are the subtle shadings,
but rather the primary. colors of
drama, vivid and unabashed. Their
films, even when they don't sing
a note of music, often have the look
of opera, played broadly to the upper
rows of the galleries. In the case
of Laugh, Paghacci, the new pic
ture at the Little, there is music,
much of it sung by Beniamino Gigli,
to heighten the operate effect of the
whole.
Laugh, Pagliacci' tells fictional
tale of the background of Leon
cavallo's composition of the opera,
"Pagliacci." The real-life counter

prison for sticking shiv in his wife
and the man who had cuckolded him
He is seeking his daughter in the
hope that he can find peace in her
forgiving him. Daughter, however,

of clinching most desirable match.
