H-Hour Fiibuster by Malone
|StrunqIes Slot Machine Bill

After an 11-hour- -and-5-minute
filibuster, Senator Malone. Repub-
Ilican, of Nevada today claimed a
one-man victory in his fight
against a bill to ban interstate
shipment of slot machines.
Senate leaders acknowledged
that the tall and husky Senator
had talked the bill to death---or
at least to the point where "it
looks pretty dead There is little
prospect that the measure can
Iget the right-of-way before Con-
gress returns in November.
Senator Malone started his
speech at 1920 am. yesterday
and stopped abruptly at 10:25 pm.
His talking marathon ended
with dramatic suddenness only
after two whispered conferences
between Senate Majority Leader
Lucas and Senator Wherry of
Nebraska. the Republican floor
leader. After those conversations
Senator Wherry moved to Senator
Malone's side. passed some word
to him, and the Nevada Senator
sat down.
His prolonged speech against the
slot machine bill had thrown a
roadblock before Senate consider
alton of important legislation-in-
cluding the SIT billion defense ap-
preparation bill and a tax increas-
ing measure-and had endangered
plans for adjournment tomorrow
night until after the November
elections.

lone's audience was small. But
one incident enlivened the pro-
ceedings.
That came when Senator Ma
lone sent out for a toasted sand
wich cut into bites, Senator Lucas
complained that 1t was undigni-
fed for a Senator to eat while
making speech and that I'VE
have not yet come to the point
where the Senate is a restaurant" !"
"If the Senator wants to make
it personal matter" Senator Ma
lone retorted, clenching his flst,
'let him come over here close
enough so that 1t can be DONE"
However, Senator Malone never
tasted the sandwich. Senator
Langer, Republican. Of North
Dakota munched pieces Of it and
showed the plate invitingly toward
Senator Lucas.
In his talking spree, Senator
Malone covered a wide range of
subjects, denouncing the admin
istration's tariff and foreign pol
icies and discussing the war In
Korea. He said, at intervals. that
the slot machine bill was an in
vasion of States rights-particu-
larly Nevada's. His State licenses
such machines and other forms Of
gambling and derives considerable
revenue from them.
II could still go 10 rounds" )"
Senator Malone told reporters
after sitting down, "and If they
bring this bill up again. I'll talk
against it again"

mirrors the larger conflict between
the One God of Christian kind
ness and the many gods of
barbarism.
Thor, With Angels" written by
Fry for the Canterbury festival
in 1948, is clearly not the stuff
familiar to the eye, and certainly
not to the ear, of the average
theatergoer. It is an invitation, in
deed. to new realm of music and
meaning which has justifiably
made it's author the sensation of
his season and heralded him as
kin to Shakespeare.
The premise of Leo Brady's di-
rectlon of the first Fry play offered
here is that it's essence is Shakes
pearian. Its production is simple,
its major concern to give Fry's
words suitable shape and an
area in which to fly. Since it is
the nature of acting to be uneven
in spite of the intelligence and
f1rmest intentions to make it
otherwise, Thor, With Angels"
encounters this handicap just as
do less winged works.
Catholic us drama school and
Director Brady have provided we'll
in the key roles of the Fry play.
AS the tormented hero who finds
the Jutes' way to Christianity.
William Flaherty creates the
figure of a dramatic man. The
same is true of Bill Callahan's
Merlin, King Arthurs famous
magician, and Fry's most merrily
philosophical character in Thor"
Affecting, too, are Rosemary
krill as the hero's daughter whose
Jutish pride dissolves into affec-
ton for the poor young Briton
captive Of Bob Waters.
The several-level stage repre-
senting the sixth century farm
stead of Fry's play is one of the
most effective settings James
Waring has imagined in his years
as c. US stage designer. Joseph
Lewis sense of how the Jutes
dressed is to be admired by anyone
who is not up to the minute on
Jute styles, and perhaps even by
these. who must constitute the
worlds smallest minority.
Evening star., 1950-12-04

Is having It's first revelation in
Washington for the next fort
night at Catholic University
theater.
There, Fry's Thor, with
Angels" is creating an excitement
worthy of a writer who compels
his critics to allude to Shake
speare IN their comparisons. The
drama of it is all quite impressive,
none the less so for reaching
beyond the actual work on the
stage to include the sense of an
audience chasing moonbeams. It
is part of this sense that Fry is
almost unfair to his poor devil
competitors struggling in the
muck Of mere prose to attract
woefully Indifferent attention.
X X
Thor, With Angels" is hardly
one of those characteristlcally i'm
pish samples of its authors works.
1t Is a terse, serious play whose
theme is the substitution of the
One God of Christianity for the
many fearful and capricious gods
of early England. Obviously this
is profound. as even poetic plays
made of spiritual material must
be. It is exalted, instead of
somber. in its mood. however.
