convenient to look on 1t with less
than horror.
Since Mr.. Williams is an actor
his play is studded with parts
that act we'll, that permit a player
to get to town In the display of
an acting skill. The first Of these
roles. the author having written
it for himself originally. undoubt-
edly is Dan. the young man whose
hatbox Is as suspicious as his
manner.
Dan, In case you never heard
Of Night Must Fall" Is the brash
lad who installs himself In Mrs.
Bramson's cottage shortly after
a guest at the inn where he has
been working Is reported missing
1t is this late guest that turns up
minus a head, in Mrs. Bramson' s
refuse pit and Dan and q con-
veniently-s sized hatbox In his lug
gage become the object OF a Ger
tain amount OF horrified suspi-
cion.
Leon Janney, who refers to him.
self as the oldest living child actor
and who has been devoting most
Of his time to radio lately, plays
the role with both relish and skill.
He obviously Is a man enjoying
his work and he builds Dan into
quite a sorry menace before Mr.
Williams gets around in the third
act to clearing things up for you.
Viola Roache, of course, is
ideally cast as Mrs. Bramson, the
wheelchair- riding tyrant Of the
bungalow on which drama sud-
denly descends. Badgering one of
the intimidated surrounding her,
or giggling foolishly over Dams
Establishments, Miss Roache Is a
delight. She can turn a comedy
scene with the best of them and
any moment of Might Must Fall"
when she is on the stage is a good
one.
There naturally are good mo-
ments when she is not on stage,
too. the author and the present
cast taking care of that. One of
the latter is Philippa Bevans, who
in real life is Miss Reaches
daughter. Miss Bevans again is
playing one of those Williams
Cockney cooks who will take no
browbeating from anybody and
she does a fine comic Job of it.
Pamela Simpson helps the sus-
pense of the Williams play with
her intense approach to the prob
lem of a woman feeling a strange
affinity for Dan and Ralph Sump-
ter adds to the comedy with one
of his doltish Britons. Mary Mac

Appeals Court Denies
Standard AirIines Plea.
On Permit Revocation

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday refused to inter-
fere with Government revocation
of Standard Airlines' operating
permit.
The 16-month-old California
company is owner of a plane
which crashed near Los Angeles
July - killing 35 persons.
There was no question of safety
violation in the Civil
Aeronautics Board order of one
ago which revoked the
lines operating rights. The CAB
action was based on its finding
that Standard. a nonscheduled
carrier operating from Long
Beach, had violated regulations by
operating regular passenger flights
between the East and West Coasts.
Standard appealed the CAB
order to- the Appeals Court and
asked the court to stay revocation
of the license until the case could
be reviewed. The court entered
a denial to the stay petition
yesterday without comment, but
eventually will hear the appeal.
CAB officials said no further
action is required by the board in
asmuch as denial of the stay
automatically grounds the carrier.
Meanwhile on the West Coast,
CAB has ordered a public hear
ing at Santa Monica on the plane
crash. Survivors told conflicting
stories of fight between two
passengers aboard the plane prior

In Attempt 10 Save Doll
BY the Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July o.
Two little sisters we're drowned
yesterday while trying to retrieve
a doll from the old Erie Canal
at nearby Bolivar.

and into the canal, a 5-foot deep
channel now used as a feeder to
the present-day Erie Canal.

Janet floating in midstream. He
brought the unconscious child to
shore and carried her to a neigh

New York Buses Roll
As Union Accepts
Arbitration Plan
By the A.soeioted Press

NEW YORK, July 22.-Buses
were rolling again today after an
eight-day strike on two major
transit systems with daily pas
senger load of 1,125,000.
The first buses left garages
shortly after midnight.
Members of the CIO Transport
Workers Union voted yesterday
to end the strike on the 30 routes
of the New York City Omnibus
Corp. and the Fifth Avenue
Coach Co.
The workers acceptance of an
arbitration formula put forward
Wednesday and adopted that
night by the companies, ended
the strike of $500 drivers and
maintenance men.
Big Majority for Plan.
Mayor ODwyer's plan was ap-
proved by the union members.
1887 to 1876. in a secret ballot
after the union Negotiating Com
mittee recommended acceptance.
The companies, which are
Jointly owned, said service would
be normal today. Their lines are
mainly in Manhattan, with a few
in Queens.
City and union officials ex-
pressed hope that the settlement
would establish a pattern for
ending strike threats on other
private transit lines when their
contracts with the union expire
July 81.
The mayors formula provides
for submission to an arbitrator Of
all issues involved in negotiation
of a new contract.
Eight to Be Reinstated.
It also handles the specific dis
pute that led to the strike-the
suspension of four mechanics OF
the New York City Omnibus Corp.
for their part in a protest against
the layoff of four other workers.
The eight men will be reinstated.
And, if the company and union
cannot settle the dispute over the
initial layof for lack of work, the
issue will be put before Theodore
w. Kheel, impartial chairman Of
the citys private transit industry.
AS part of the settlement, the
struck companies agreed to drop
a $1.100,000 damage suit against
the union for alleged breach Of
contract in calling the strike.
During the eight days of the
strike, subways and other transit
lines handled the bulk of the
struck lines passengers, but many
of the riders affected had to do
some walking.
