Since he first came to Broad
way in 1885 to be an exciting
Romeo to Katherine Cornell's
Juliet, Maurice Evans has es-
tablished himself as one of the
most dynamic of actor producers.
Becoming an American citizen, he
served during the war as major
in the United States Army in the
Central Pacific theater.
Last week for the first time he
showed himself to New York
audiences in a modern play in
modern dress. Heretofore he had
been seen on these shores only in
classical costume plays.
Other than Miss Cornell's
Romeo, he has played here the
Dauphin in st. JOAN" Napoleon
in st. Helena" and Richard in
Richard H." He has also been
seen as Hamlet, and he was the
Malvolio to Helen Hayes Viola in
Twelfth Night"
From that parade of costumed
characters he returns to Broad

5 CHANGES

Amendments Get 0keh
from Administration
Says Rdyburn

WASHINGTON, May 2 - ZAP =
Speaker Rayburn announced today
his support of five amendments to
the administration labor bill and
said he believes they will assure
passage of the measure.
Rayburn told a news conference
the amendments are being drafted
by a group of House members in
Guiding Southern Democrats. They
will be offered tomorrow when the
House resumes debate on labor leg
'islation.
Briefly, he said, here's what they
would do:
/. Give the President authority
to intervene, either by injunction
or plant seizure, in threatened
strike involving the public welfare.
2. Make it perfectly clear that
there is to be freedom of speech on
both sides in labor controversy.
g. Require Communist affi-
davits to be made by leaders OF
10th labor and management.
A. Make certain that financial
reports of labor organizations are
available to members of the unions
and perhaps to the public gener-
ally.
5. Require that both sides in a
controversy must bargain lin good
faith
Many of the amendments are
similar to provisions OF the Taft
Hartley law which President Tru-
man wants repealed. None Of them
is in the administrations bill,
sponsored by Chairman Lesinski

mittee.
Rayburn outlined his position
following a White House conference
at which labor legislation was dis
cussed He did not say whether
President Truman has approved
the amendments, but the inference
was that the chief executive has.
