Another. more half hearted,
explanation for the hit proper
tions of Miss Regan's folksy farce,
was that it had q quality cast
in such original leads as Richard
Whorf and Menasha SKUNK. In
time. they were replaced by Ches-
ter Morris and Joseph Buloff who
carry on just as theoretically and
with equal indifference to the
time-worn essence of their mate
rial.
No one could know better than
such veterans as these that Miss
Regan's dialogue and situations
In "The Fifth Season" always
have been good for a laugh of
one size or another. That was
true of last nights opening per-
formance. the smaller size due
no doubt to the comedy's greater
distance from the heart of the
garment industry.
AS a recorder of life, mostly
low, in women's clothing, Miss
Regan is a vast improvement on
the author of "Springtime Folly"
an authentic disaster on the
same subject which played here
O couple of seasons back.
An experienced screen writer,
she at least knows the ingre-
dients Of a Gregory Ratof
directed script. In the case of
"The Fifth Season." these are
o couple of basically decent
characters who wander into the
cut-throat world of fashion and
after couple of desperate hours
manage to escape with their
lives. When the hours threaten
to sag unbearably, Miss Regan
and Mr.. Ratof throw in a style |
show in which the models not
only wear the clothes but don
them from bras outward. The |
possibility that this kind of style |
show might wipe out the sale of |
outer garments is one about |
which the comedy does not give !
o mild damn.
The accuracy Of 1.-THE Fifth |
Seasons" picture of the so-called |
world of fashion is, and happily.
beyond the purview of drama

away from the temptations of |

 "In Beautiful Shape;;" Ship Will Become Barge

The 84-year-old steamer Vic toria, oldest ship in the American merchant marine, was purchased last month by Straits Towing, Ltd, of Vancouver from Dulien Steel Products Go. and will be converted into an ore barge. The Alaska Line had sold the famous old lady last March to Dulien Steel after operating her 50 years in the Alaska trade.
 The Vic will be dismantled in Seattle and converted into a barge in Canada. The vessel was in dry dock at the Todd Shipyard for inspection last month, and the men who examined the ship said her hull was "in beautiful shape"
 She still has the original Swe- dish iron hull with which she began her career in 1870 when launched in Dumbarton, Scotland, as the Atlantic liner Parthia.

Ken KadOW Says Nothing Improper In Tin Co. Loan

WASHINGTON, IT, Kenneth Kadow, Alaska builder and for mer president of the US. Tin Corp, told Investigating senators Wednesday he never did any thing which could remotely be considered improper" in con- nection with US. Tins 1851 loan application to the government.
 He testified also that the firms Alaskan operation ''is not a fail ure; I believe we are making money now"
 Kadow was special deputy to former Interior Secretary Oscar Chapman for Alaskan affairs up to 1851. Kadow left that job and went to work for US. Tin shortly before the company got the first of its several government-insured loans.
 Later he became president of the company, which operates an underground tin mine at Lost River, but quit after government officials questioned the efficiency of the operation.
 The Senate-House Committee on Defense Production is investi- gating all aspects of the tin opera tion and Kadow's connection with it. There have been charges in previous testimony that Kadow worked in behalf of the corpora tion's loan application while he was with the government and while he had an agreement to take a job with US. Tin.
 Kadow denied these charges. He said he went on the payroll of US. Tin April l, 1851 and that there was mot Chinaman's chance that I had any connection with the US. Tin in any way, shape or manner in 1950."

TVS Weather Reporters
By Brian Bell

A LONG WITH every. one
IA else, six Washington tele-
casters talk about the weather,
but they never do anything
about it.
Each of WaShington's four
televiSion stations has a
weather girl" or man-two
have both. And you can take
your weather straight, or with
flavor added.
: Two of the shows feature
fashions along with the tenn
peratures; one has a cartoon
finale, and two toss in some
comedy. You can count the
cold fronts with a blond,
brownette or raven-haired
pretty, or a man with a mus
tache, a registered meteorolo-
g1St or q snowman In q
raccoon coat.
The weather reporters and
their stations are Aletha Agee
and Jackson Weaver, WMAL-
TV; Tippy Stringer and Mike
Hunnicutt, WRC-TV; Louis
Allen, WTOP-TV, and Cindy
Dahl, WTTG.
All of them get their in
formation from the Weather
Bureau Office at the National
Airport. Some have teletypes
at their stations which give
them much of the material
Evening star., 1954-11-14

needed. MIR. Allen, the meteo-
rologist, gets daily maps from
the bureau, but all usually
talk by phone with the air
port just before going before
the television camera.
Being a weather telecaSter
involves more than an ability
to read the official forecasts.
AL TV prognosticators took a
course in basic principles of
meteorology.
One studied with training
films, others pored over books,
and all spent some time at
the airport learning how the
official forecasters arrive at
their conclusions. They have
to know how to put special
lied weather terms into plain,
everyday English, too.
MIR. Allen, who holds down
a regular job as an ocean,
ographer in the Navy Hydro
graphic Office, was the first
weather specialist on televi-
sion in the country. He.
started in 1948. He earned a
B. s. degree in meteorology
at Wilson Teachers College
and an NJ. s. at the University
of Maryland. During World
War FL he made forecasts
for the Pacific Fleet and pre-
pared the Sea-and-Swell pre-
