playwrights are foolish to bother
with original material.
Newest Broadway triumph, Il
you have not heard. is Carson Nc
Cullers' dramatic rewrite of hel
sensitive novel, THE Member o1
the Wedding" and it represents
only a beginning Next on the
Broadway agenda is Arms ano
the Girl" a musical version of the
Lawrence Langners' comedy sue
cess of years ago, "The Pursuit OF
Happiness.
Beyond that. there is the most
anticipated play of the season
Joshua Logan's THE Wisteria
Tree" with Helen Hayes which is
an Americanization of Chekov's
"The Cherry Orchard" It's due
in March.
And, into yesterdays news
crept the intelligence that John
P Marquand's Point of No Re-
turn" for months a best seller
novel, is now in the hands of
Paul Osborn for dramatization
Not this season, most likely. but
next. Playwright Osborn who is
best known and most fondly re-
membered for. his fantasy, "On
Borrowed Time" has been labor
ing for the past several years in
the Hollywood vinyards.
Where, Of course, he was a most
able man.
1t might give anyone an idea
for that old novel manuscript
lying around in the attic. Such
ideas, 1t seems, mellow into drama
eventually.
Television and the kids Of
America are the two best things
that ever happened to screen vet
eran Bill Boyd, better known as
"Hopalong Cassidy" Actor Boyd
who has been doing very we'll for
himself Is suddenly about to do
better as a result of a new deal
under which he will make his
Hopalong pictures for Paramount.
In his case, at least, television
has created a new and sharp de-
mand for his work instead Of
creating surfeit of it by taking
1t into everybody's living room.
There are rational humans who
think it will work the same way
on considerably larger scale.
And, so far as the children are
concerned. their pets do not have
to worry about new material.
Their heroes can repeat them
selves forever. in fact, If they want
to remain heroes. they had better.

LANCASTER, Ohio, Oct. 25.-
Representative Brehm, Republi-
can, of Ohio last night branded a
salary recovery suit filed by a
former woman employe as %.
the most cockeyed thing I ever
heard Of"
The former employe, Mrs. Clara
Soliday, rs, a widow. of Logan,
Ohio, asked recovery of $7,340,
plus an additional $4,000 as ''pu-
nitive damages" in the suit filed
yesterday in Fairfield County
Common Pleas Court here. The
suit was filed by Attorney Hubert
D. Lappen. former prosecutor of
Hooking County.
The House member has repre-
sented Ohio's 18th congressional
district in South Central Ohio, for
eight years. He is candidate for
reelection November 7.
/ Mrs. Soliday, who has been liv-
ing in Washington, alleged that
from January, 1945, until Janu-
ary, 1948, while she was on the
congressional payroll, Mr.. Brehm

Mrs. Soliday's employment in Mr.
Brehm's congressional Office was
payable to her alone for service
faithfully rendered"
Worked as Clerk.
The suit alleges that Mrs. Soil
day started to work for Repre-
sentative Brehm as a clerk Jan
uary 10, 1945. 1t says further
that her salary from January 10
to January 81, 1945, was $232.22
She received this amount in a
check from the Treasury Depart
ment. The suit continues:
"On or about January 81, 1s45
the defendant wrongfully, col
lected and received from the
plaintiff (Mrs. Soliday) the sum
of $100 of the salary paid her
for the foregoing period"
The suit also claims that for
the next five months Mr.. Brehm
took $3.50 monthly from her
$332.72 salary; that he took SITS
monthly the next six months

"Wrongfully and fraudulently de-

from her out of her salary a total
sum of $7,340."
Charges Denied.
| Mr.. Brehm, SO, who practiced
dentistry for 25 years, told news
men from his home in Millersport:
why, it's too fantastic to reply
to-, there is not a damned word
of truth in it. She never gave me
back one cent of her salary"
He added:
''If I were guilty, why did she
work for me for three years? Why
didn't she leave me sooner? Why
did she wait three years after
leaving her job to file a damage
suit?"
The House member said Mrs.
Soliday has been put up to this
thing in order to try to hurt me
with my people in this district" "

Last September 80, Mr.. Brehm
issued statement saying the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation had
investigated the case of Mrs. Soil
day at his request. He said then
that j. Edgar Hoover, FBI direc-
tor. had written him the investi-
cation was completed and that
no further action would be taken.

Some time back Pat spent sew

wouldn't trade the experience fo1

Miss Lockwood is very happy
singing sweet songs in small. quiet

and as for the alleged glamour
surrounding a job with a top
band, you can have it, sister.
She joined the band as it was
