TOKYO. Mar. 2. Prime Min
lister Shigeru Yoshida threat
ened today to dissolve the Diet
(parliament1 after the House
agreed to consider a motion Of
censure against his pro-Amer-
lean administration.
A spokesman for his dominant
Liberal Party, Eiaku Sato. said
Mr.. Yoshida might be forced to
invoke a law requesting Emperor
Hirohito dissolve the elective
body The Emperor cannot deny
the request.
The House threatened to over
throw Mr.. YoSkida'S Shaky gov
eminent earlier today by sending
to a censure committee a motion
to reprimand the 74-year-old
Prime Minister for calling a rival
a stupid idiot"
Mr.. YoShida'S deputy, Take
tora Ogata. told newsmen "the
passage of the motion on the
committee illustrates the UNI
stable political situation. But it's
passage will not make Yoshida
resign"
Mr.. YoShida tonight dismiss
sed Agriculture Minister Kozen
HirokaWa on grounds he had been
unco-operative. Mr.. Hirokawa
is leader of one of the factions
threatening to split the Liberal
Party. He led group of 80 dis
sident liberals who boycotted
this mornings vote in censure
and thus assured its being sent
to committee.
However. Mr.. Yoshida waited
until after the Diet had passed
the budget bill in a night SEES
sion before he fired Mr..
Hirokawa.
Opposition spokesman pro-
tested against the threat to dis
solve the Diet. They said the
national elections were held only
last October and that they were
extremely expensive" for both
the government and candidates.
Mi. Yoshida dissolved the
Diet last August as the climax
Of a feud with Ichiro Hatoyama,
speaker of the house.
Mr.. Yoslnida called an emer-
gency meeting Of the cabinet to-
day to study the situation.
If the Diet Committee recon-
mended a severe censure and
Mr.. Yoshida lost the ensuing vote
in the House, he almost certainly
would be forced to resign.
Today's vote went against him
191 to 162.
The situation appeared to be
coming to a head over. a rela-
lively minor issue.
Mr.. Yoshida was asked Satur-
day-during a Diet Committee
meeting on Japan's budget-to
outline his own views on the
international situation as it af-
fects Japan.

Rain and wet snow fell on the
battlefront today, after the Reds
retreated to their own lines. It

A spokesman for an Allied

Politics, wars and weather

summer around here.
Certainly within the week,
the make-believers Of the the
ater have made it clear that
they will do their best. And
that their best will be valiant
and admirably aimed at reliev-

operetta, and Olney Theater
opened not merely with the
promise Of good things. but Of
better things than those to
which the community Is ac-
cuStomed.
Approach Is Fresh
Both represent a fresh ap-
proach, the former with its Sc
ries of popular operettas; the
latter with a selection Of
plays calculated to break the
strangehold of mediocre, over
sexed farce on the summer
drama. The managements Of
the two projects share a COM
mon faith that the taste Of
audiences is considerably bet
ter than has been suspected.
It is a faith neatly rewarded
by the response to the groups

and Man and Superman."

except possibly a 10 degrees

every seat in the 4,000-seat
arena was occupied for the
"Showboat" first performance.
This was something, as Miss
Bennett had calculated, for
which the Nations Capital had
been whetting an appetite for
years.
Now, with the opening Of the
curtain, the feast was being
brought on.
As Every One Dreomed

view of the complexity Of the
operation, it was less than

N a Fools Paradise?
Ben Heeht, Who Hasn't Met Sponsor,
Feurs 1t May Be Just Thot for Him
By Harry Macarthur

Ben Hecht. the prolific play
wright and movie scenarist, is
living these days in what he
fears may be a fools paradise.
He has been signed, as you
probably have read already, to
write q series Of television
plays for CHS. The first will
be seen next Thursday night.
So far Mr.. Hecht has COM
pleted seven Of the scripts
and sent them of to the net
work in New York. That's all
that has happened.
IT like it fine so far" he
said on the telephone the
other day from his Nyack
home in reply to the question
of how he was getting along
with TV. 1--WE not yet met a
sponsor or talked to a spon-
sor." He does not quite know
what to make Of this, especial
ly since, after his years in
Hollywood, II was ready for
anything murderous I found
in TV."
DepIores Monotony
Mr.. Hecht, q former news
paperman, still regards q ques-
ton as something to be an
swered, not evaded. He proved
ready and willing when some
one on the conference call"
interview wanted to know
what he disliked most about
televisjon.
"The worst thing in tele-
vision," he declared firmly, "is
the way they make actors re-
cite the commercials"
Another thing he deplores Is
the monotony Of the plotting
found on TV dramatic shows.
And he has another complaint
about some other television
dramas.
1.-THE more artistic plays go
in about 80 per cent for semi
flends," he declared. He feels
that it is quite possible to do a
television play about nice
people.
He Likes Lucy
Having spent a great deal Of
time staring at the end Of q
cathode ray tube since taking
the Tv plunge, Mr.. Hecht has
seen some things he has liked.
He admitted unabashedly that
he likes II Love Lucy" Drag
net" "The Web" and Lights
Out" were other names that
came to mind.
In his own CeleplayS ne

mails, no murders" The series.
with the overall title Tales Of
the CITY," will consist Of
separate and completely un-
related stories. They probably
will bear some resemblance to
the tales Of his collections,
"l,0O1 Afternoons in Chicago"
and the later "1,001 After
moons in New York." but they
won't be adaptations. II they
were, he'd have to buy the
books. There isn't a Hecht-
authored book In the Hecht
library at Nyack.
Likes Fontosy
One thing that Mr.. Hecht
said was sure to show up was
fantasy. He likes 20 explore

endings and a ghost or two"
Somebody wanted to know II
he thought the television audi
ence would take to this sort Of
thing.
"The nice thing about tele-
vision," he replied. "is that
you have no audience" He
meant that it was broad
enough that you don't need to
write for the tastes of a limited
group, but it's no wonder no
sponsor has talked to him. No
audience, indeed.
Such fantasy as he does in
ject into the series, he con-
tinued would be along the lines
Of the fantasy in 1.-THE Scoun-
drel," the Hecht movie in
which Noel Coward starred.
Mention of 1.-THE Scoundrel"
brought up Spectre of the
Rose" q Hecht-produced film
which seems to be doing all
right on television. It Is doing
all right for somebody else,
however, since "you never
make money on the films you
make for yourself in Holly
wood" Mr.. Hecht, who has
seen Spectre Of the Rose" on
TV, had one other comment
about it!
"They cut it and improved
1t no end"
The Stoge Approach
The playwright has his own
ideas about the nature of tele-
vision drama. The stage ap-
proach is required, he is firmly
convinced, and he gave the
matter thought before reach
ing the conviction.
"The only things as big in
television as they are any
where else are words" he said.
In the movies. with their large
screens, he pointed out. you
can tell a story with move
ment. Television's smaller
screens don't allow this move
ment, he feels. so his teleplays
are written exactly the same
as for the stage, telling the
story with dialogue and very
little physical action" >.
The Writings Eosy
Mr.. Hecht drew a couple Of
audible gasps over the tele-
phone cables when he an
Swered the interviewer who
wanted to know how long It
takes him to write o half-hour
TV drama. "Oh. q day or
two" he said casually. He
quickly explained for the
gaspers:
81 had them planned In ad-
vance, Of course. At least I
had about Is planned. Once
you have the plot. the writing
Is easy. Nobody knows how
long it takes to think up q
plot"
The Pulitzer Prize and Acad.
emy Award-winning play
wright proved also to be q
patient man. when a voice on
the telephone network asked
If he thought a half-hour was
enough time.
"A short story is as long az
It has to be-" he explained.
"It doesn't have to be q novel.
A half hour Is enough time to
tell q story on televisiop II
you write it for q half H-hcAr."
