A boost of a little more than

Youths Who Blamed
Drugs for Thefts 10 GET
Treatment in Prison

Four youths quoted as attribut-
ing their shoplifting activities to
their addiction to narcotics, we're
sentenced yesterday by District
Court Judge Richmond B. Keech
on theft charges.
Two of them, James Tilden
Porter, 18, of the 2800 block of
Fourteenth street NV, and Ed
ward Dean Monohan, Is, of the
$500 block of Twenty-s second
street NE, were given from eight
months to two years each for
three thefts.
The two had pleaded guilty to
stealing several watches from a
jewelry store in the 700 block of
Fourteenth street NV; an elec-
trio saw from a store of the Heck
niger Co., Fifteenth and H streets

sander from a hardware store.
A third youth, Herbert Thomas
Freeman. 20, of the 300 block of
Channnig street NE, was SEN
fenced to eight months to two
years for participating in two of
the thefts. At the same time, how
ever. Judge Keech revoked pro-
baton which had been given Free
man last year by another judge
for pocketbook snatching and
ordered him to begin serving
two-to-six-year sentence on the
latter charge. Freeman's sentence
on the larceny charges are to run
concurrently with the pocketbook
sentence.
The fourth youth, Marshal
Francis Curatolo, %, of the first

was given from 6 to 18 months
for taking part in only the theft
from the jewelry store.
All had waived indictment and
pleaded guilty.
Judge Keech recommended that
all four serve their time at Lex
ngton, KY, where they can be
treated for narcotic addiction in

Veterans Take STAGE
As Sesqui Play Gets
First Public Showing
By james A. Deone

A crowd of veterans and their
wives took over the new Sesqui-
centennial Amphitheater last
night at the first public perform
ance of the historical pageant,
Faith Of Our Fathers"
More than $50 color bearers
representing veterans organiza-
tions took part in an opening cere-
mony on the amphitheater's huge
stage.
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
military aide to President Tru-
man, declared that it was very
proper that we should honor vet
erans on this first performance for
the public of this historical
drama"
Gen. Vaughan called George
Washington-the pageant's CEN
tral figure-"one of our country's S
early veterans" Then he called at

tention to the Korea fighting in
which Americans now are losing
their lives and said he hoped the
pagaent would be viewed with
"Solemnity."
Scrolls Are Presented.
Scrolls then were handed by the
general to representatives of the
veterans organizations-Clyde A
Lewis, national commander of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars: Donald
J. McQuade. national commando,
of Catholic War Veterans; Frank
A. Sullivan. national legislative di-
rector, Disabled American Vet
erans: Elliott H. Newcomb, nation
al executive director, AMVETS;
Col. David Solomon, past national
commander, Jewish War Veterans
and Leonce r. Legentre, assistant
national adjutant, American
Legion.
Less than half of the 4,000-seat
amphitheater was filled for the
performance, in contrast to the
near-capacity crowd at Friday
which was attended by President
Truman.
Bigger Crowds Expected.
Production officials said they
expected it would take a week
to build up capacity attendance
for the show, which is scheduled
to run nightly except Mondays
through September 80.
The cool weather probably was
an influence last night-oficials
expect more people to seek out
the sylvan spot at Sixteenth street
and Colorado avenue NV. on hot
nights.
Last nights performance began
about 10 minutes late, but pro-
ceeded smoothly from the open
ing national anthem, sung by the
shows chorus and in which more
of the audience joined than on
the preceding night.
The uniformed veterans during
the anthem found themselves
saluating flags with only 13 stars
in conformity with the time of
the action on the stage.
Valet Portrayal Applauded.
Just as on opening night, Wash
ington's Negro valet, Billy Lee,
played by John Tate. won the
greatest applause with his humor-
Gus remarks about the welfare of
his general. The audience also
showed its admiration for the
brilliant costumes and spectacular
lighting in the larger scenes.
The shows cast of 125 had a
special rehearsal yesterday after
noon. Production executive Paul
Leggette said some cuts may be
made next week, along with other
minor changes. but he said in
general the production heads are
satisfied for the time being.
About 100000 has been in
vested in the show. 1t will cost
about $500 a week. The amphi-
theater cost more than 1868 900.

Life

Country
By jones Birchfield

There certainly is no lack of
country books these days. 1t seems
that almost everyone who has
moved from the city to a country
place has written a book-and
most OF these have found pub
fishers.
But the most charming that
has reached me 50 far is For
ever the Land" which was issued
last week by Harper g. Brothers.
had been looking forward to
receiving this book for a long
time, for I knew it was being pre-
pared by Russell and Kate Lord
as editor and illustrator. I had
a good idea, too, of its contents,
for it consists of the best that has
appeared in The Land, the quar-
terly issued by the Lords for
Friends of the Land.
Magazines, I find, have a way of
getting away from hand in a
cluttered house. Even though
they may be stacked on shelves, it
Is rare that one can find the time
to go back through old issues to
re-read pieces that remain in the
memory.
And so the anthology allows me
to spend a leisure half hour with
such good friends of the land as
Liberty Hyde Bailey, Hugh Ben
nett. Aldo Leopold, E. B. White,
Dan A. Wallace, Philip Hillyer
Smith or Louis Bromfield. These
and the others who go to make up
the anthology, are something
more than farmers, or scientists,
or writers-they are men of good
Will in whom the love of nature
has helped blend their philoso-
phies."
1t is pleasant, too, to 60 back
with Russell Lord through his
formative days, and to follow with
MIN the early struggles of the
Friends of the Land Society
which, incidentally, came into be-
ing here in Washington.
am glad that he included in
this book his account of the pass
ing Of Gene Brown, which I had
enjoyed so much in a previous is
sue OF The Land. But l am sorry
that he did not find room for his
Interview with DR.. McCallum of
the McCallum-Prat Institute at
Johns Hopkins, for I think it one
OF the finest pieces of its kind ]
have ever read.
There is much in Forever the
Land to give a true countryman
heart. AS I turn through its
pages I am convinced more than
ever that here is the real stuff that
must go into the building back OF
American soil and land.
We may hammer cold science
until doom's day, but it will be
the poetry of dreams that finally
will make of us all true lovers of
the land.
