he begins, ''is what's happened
to the subsidy the Government
was talking about to help the
theater?"
Well. Alvin, frankly nothing
has happened to it and it is I'M
likely that anything will.
At your age, subsidy is funny
thing to be thinking Of. Subsidy,
that's a medicine for the old, the
weak and the ailing. The theater
may be all Of these. It's symp-
toms certainly suggest it, at least
to the layman's eye. The point is
that you are none Of them. What
you plan to bring to the theater
is the fine, free spirit of the
writer whose mind should be pre-
occupied with more dynamic ideas
than a forlorn fiscal shot in the
arm
Like you, I am all for Gheater
and not opposed to subsidy where
1t is needed. It Is just that the
two in combination should come
much later than ones sophomore
year. 1t would be better for you
to be thinking Of the Death of
A Salesman" South Pacific" or
whatever it is that you want to
produce as a playwright. Leave
subsidy to the tired and the dis
illusioned. who have better reason
to be afraid than you have over
there at st. Johns. where so many
doors are open daily for you.
AS a former sophomore. Alvin,
I honestly think there are better
things to dream on.
You ask, next: What about the
American theater that should
have it's headquarters in Wash
ington?
AS a Washingtonian who thinks
this is a great home town as well
as a world capital, there is moth
ing I would like to see more than
an American theater with head
quarters here - unless it is one
legitimate theater in operation
until the greater thing can be es-
tablished.
It appalls me that this is the
one great capital in the world
from which the living drama is
a refugee. It is q humiliating re-
Election upon the community and
the drama and, I daresay, upon
culture in America, although "cul-
ture" Is q large, loose concept
which has absorbed q lot more

thing and the man who lives
through it is ready for much in
later life. This is not observed
in any spirit of adult f1ippancy,
for Alvin's letter is too serious to
be dismissed with any such creak-
ing smugness as that he will get
over it.
The truth is that it has pro-
voked several hours of thought.
This is not characteristic of the
mail which comes to a drama de-
partment. It makes Alvin Aron-
son a special correspondent and
deserving of the best answer one
Is qualified to give him.
Having decided to become a
playwright. one of the most in
secure professions in a woefully
insecure world, Alvin is deeply
concerned with the wisdom of his
choice. 1t is something like &C
cepting an invitation to a famine
instead of a bid to a feast. The
bravest man might well be shaken
by such a choice.
Therefore. he passes on the
questions in his mind and the
answers must be more considerate
than j. P. Morgan's to the young
man who asked him how much
1t cost to operate a yacht like the
Corsair. "a man who has to ask
how much a yacht cost cannot
afford one" Morgan replied. This
does not apply to Alvin.

LABOR DAY MONDAY

Next Monday is Labor Day In some setcions of the nation the day is observed by labor unions, with parades gatherings and speeches by prominent men. Years ago Juneau and Douglas also observed the day with a parade ard public meeting but in late years both have been abandoned Then again, Labor Day is during the deer and out with guns trying to bag the fleet animal and gain wild meat

with a Bakhtiari on each side of him. Not speaking their language Douglas rode in silence. Finally the party halted near a small stream to rest and water thelr horses.
 Douglas offered a cigarette to the native" standing on his right and was nearly bowled over when he said in perfect English, "Ihank you, MT. Justice. How are you en- toying your trip?"
 It was Major Lincoln, dressed like and looking like a Bakhtiari.
 Lincoln was taciturn even with Douglas. He asked him to thank Ambassador John Wiley for per sonal favor and also to deliver in- formation to Wiley for the trans initial of funds for certain mis- sion.
 The two men talked not more than 10 minutes. Then, as other Bakhtiari crowded around, Lincoln appeared to vanish. One moment, he was standing by Douglas. The next he disappeared. On the re- turn trip, Douglas spoke to a num- Der of the party but all shrugged their shoulders uncomprehendingly.
 When he related the experience to Dooher, the latter was not sur prised.
 T envy you the young career man said. T wish I had been with you. I have never met Lincoln myself I have always been hoping something like this would happen to me. That's the way he operates. He slips in and out of an area like shadow He leaves no trail. He is welcome in every village and camp. He is the all-time mystery man of the Middle East. We are very fortunate to have a man like him.
 When Douglas transmitted Lin- coln's message to Ambassador Wi ley he, too, was not surprised
 I've been expecting to hear from Lincoln" Wiley said, but it never occurred to me that you might be the medium. If I had thought that likely. I would have told you to inform him that he has been recommended for promotion. He deserves it richly"
 NOTE-When the Iranian colon- el, who accompanied Douglas, learned about his meeting with Lincoln, the Iranian immediately ordered out large cavalry detach- ment to SCOUT the area. They rode all night, but found no trace of Lincoln.

 Several fashion trends of the day raising spec ters disturbing to public that wants to forget it's economic wild oats Chief of these is the return of the cloche in headgear Already the fashion pace settlers are heraldng fall hats reminiscent of the helmets, inverted flower pots and saucepans that thoroughly and severely covered womens short crop ped heads in the later 1920s. Moreover, skirts are inching upward and designers are tightening them to a hobbling degree. What is more we have a revival of Rudolph Valentino via the films renewed literary interest F. Scott Fitz1s erald and lot of talk about Babbitt Does all this portend that the flapper one the chief social contributions of the 1920s is to have a reincarnation? Heaven forbid It is depressing enough to contemplate possible reversion fashion motif to the ugliest of all eras in feminine dress without having the flapper and her gin drinking boy friend thrown in.
 However still betting on the cycle theory of fashion from disaster. This holds that fundamental changes in feminine style (and to an extent in social attudes) only every 30 to 40 years, the being that it takes approximately that long for a generation to become sentimental about anything in the past And few if any of us are as yet sentimental about the 920's.

TALL, DARK AND MYSTERIOUS

hAAs DhAAAA <A4ND AS4A1O - D
 The rare few who know Lincoln describe him as tall, rangy, with dark brown eyes and black hair that is beginning to show gray at the temples.
 He is superb horseman, crack marksman, and a versatile linguist. He speaks Russian, Arabic and a number of other languages. He op- crates wholly alone, with no con- fidantes and no friends, but ming les freely aming nomad tribes, par ticularly in the remote mountain areas of Iran.
 The natives say Lincoln is mar ried to the daughter of a Kurd- ish chief. There is no known proof of that. It is one of the many stories told about him.
 Another is about his feat of act ting as a native guide for a Rus sian armored patrol that made a raid into Azerbaijan, northwest lranlan province, early this year Lincoln obtained highly important military information as a result of this exploit.
 Still another story credits him with buying food from pursuers who were trying to capture him Also, there is a tale about mis- sion he performed in Baghdad while posing as British tourist.
 How many of these stories are true, no one knows. But they are all over the Middle East, and new ones are constantly cropping up Tn fact, Lincoln has become so legendary that some have begun to cast doubt on his existence

 Pentagon chiefs depend on Lin- coln as they do on no other Intelli- gence officer But they never dis cuss him. Questions about him are always answered with blank stare. His whereabouts, his mis- sions and his reports are so secret they are known only to the joint Chiefs of Staff.
 But this much can be said about him: he is the eyes and ears of democracy in an explosive outpost of the the world, and his services to his country are probably more hazardous and thankless than those of any other single individual.
