It's Morgon's Turn
AS the author of the second
sample of current English
drama, Mr.. Morgan is the sub
ject of WaShington'S immedi-
ate interest. Mr.. Eliot has
gone on to the larger and
more intense area of contro-
versy Of New York. Mr.. Nor
gan remains the center of the
local squabble.
Whatever the flaws of 1.-THE
Burning Glass" as a piece of
dramaturgy-and they are nu-,
merous-itS theme is the most
timely of the season. What
Mr.. Morgan is writing about
is the attitude moral scientists,
the super-weapons inventors.
should take toward politicians
who are not sure of their
moral responsibilities.
Specifically: Should a scien-
fist who invents the most
powerful of weapons keep it
to himself or turn his findings
over to his government which,
instead of using the discovery
for peaceful purposes. is likely
to become more arrogantly
hostile to the neighbors?
In view of every ones imme-
diate concern with possible
obliteration, the playwright
who poses this question has
an automatically fascinated
audience.

The next question is how to
keep it fascinated. The author
of 1.-The Burning Glass" finds
that one harder than the more
cosmic query to answer. He
finds himself required to blend
super physics, metaphysics
and ethics into play form. In
some ways, this seems much
more difficult than developing
the weapon to come after the
hydrogen bomb.
Mr.. Morgan gives it a coura-
geouS try.
He starts rather interest
ingly by dragging his young
scientist out of the laboratory
and putting him on display in
an English drawing room. He
shows this character in the
company of his pretty. intelli-
gent wife and a patrician

Mr.. Ames admits that he
"felt very apprehensive" about
stepping into one of the most
famed roles in the theater's
annals, one about which q
: great many people had pre-
conceived ideas. He had never
played the part until he tested
for it at CHS. but he had seen
both Howard Lindsay and
Percy Waram play it back in

No warmth. I think that the
trouble was that I got too
many suggestions from too
many people who had played

Bombost Postponed
Il believe we're on the right
track now" The idea is to
soften Father Day. to make
him less domineering and put
more emphasis on the quail
ties in the original which
aroused affection despite the
bombast. This will mean lean
ing in the other direction for
awhile until Father is estab-
liShed as a sympathetic char
acter rather than a villain.
We're going to let him be-
come a little more bombastic
later on" said Mr.. Ames.

On Life With Leon Ames
His TV Role as Father Day Is No Job,
But Way Of Life, He's Discovered
By Harry Macarthur

Being a redhead is not con-
sidered legitimate, fullfiedged
career by many vocational
guidance counsellers. That's
what being a redhead has be-
come, however, for Leon Ames.
Mr.. Ames had no natural talent
for it, either, but had to pre-
pare himself as one must pre-
pare for any other career.
Mr.. Ames, as you probably
know, is the Father Day of
television's Life With Father"

Days memoirs, on stage and in

Handicapped.
1t meant the dye-pot for Mr..
AmeS and a return thereto
every Friday afternoon to
touch up the roots of hair and

pared for color television.
Being a redhead is not the
easiest thing in the world, he
has discovered. He is not sure
what subtle changes in per-
Sonality the transformation
has wrought. but he does know
that it was expensive.
Happily Resigned
IT had to buy a whole new
personal wardrobe" he dis
closed the other day. YOU'D
be surprised what trouble it is
to be redhead. I even got a
green car" Mr.. Ames sounded
happily resigned to his fate,
however. He is under contract
with CHS for five years and
Life With Father" seems
firmly established.
Mr.. Ames, whose acting
career has spanned three
decades, was reporting on his
newest project from Holly
wood via one of those CON
ference calls" This one
turned out fine. Usually these
affairs start out with a press
agent getting half-dozen TV
columnists around the coun-
try on the telephone, then ask
ing. ANY questions?" If you
had had any questions, you
would have called him instead
of waiting for him to call you.
But Mr.. Ames turned out to
be able as well as willing to
talk about Life With Father"
Though his acting career
dates back to 1922 and THE
Cat and the Canary and his
movie career to 1925 Muir
ders in the Rue Morgue," this
is his first adventure in tele-
vision. It is his first inten-
tional one. that is. His return
to the stage in 1912 in Guest

Mrs. Kelley had fed candy TO

The sites presently announced are
located in areas where storage prob
lens for government-owned grain are
most serious. 1t is expected that they
will be supplemented and other criti-
cal areas in the state will be served
by other types of bins which CCC
acquired, according to Kolstad's an
nouncement.
"While these sites are evidence of
the efforts the Department is max
ing to help solve the serious grain
storage problem" he added, they
will not provide the answer to the
problem. The solution to the grain
storage situation still lies in the
hands of farmers and warehousemen.
The government must be able to house
the stocks of grain it owns which
cannot be resealed on the farm or
handled by commercial and co-opera-
tive warehouses. But commercial
storage interests and farmers them
selves must do everything possible
to increase the total storage space
which will be available at harvest
time"
Kolstad also pointed out that the
USDA is still offering incentives for
the construction of grain storage ia
cilities including farm storage facil-
ity loans and guaranteed occupancy
programs for commercial warehouses.
In addition, the accelerated income
tax amortization deduction provision
is still in effect.
information concerning these stor-
age incentive programs is available
at County ASC offices.

COOP TIRES SOLD

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Co-op mem
bers have bought the millionth-and-
one Coop tire from Consumers Co.
operative Association. The millionth
stands in a glass case beside the first
Coop tire, made January 8, 1882.
Goa sold 1859 tires that first
year. This year, the regional coop
expects to top 100000 record
equalled only in 1947 when pent-up
World War II demand for tires swept
sales to 105,990.
The first Coop tire was made for
a 21-inch rim, was called Balloon"
and had normal life of 5000 miles.
The millionth is for a 15-inch rim,
has white sidewalks, is made with ny
Ion cord, and is built to last about
10000 miles.
Howard N. Hawkes., vice-president
of U. S. Rubber Company where
Coop tires are made, praised co-ops
as guides to tire improvement. He
said Goa and other regional co-ops,
through National Co-operatives' tire
committee, make known customers
needs and viewpoints.

Security TO Farmers, l.3
Million Farm Workers

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Farmers will start getting social Sc
curity benefits, if House ways and
means committee action, May 25, is
approved by the House and Senate.
The committee approved President
Eisenhower's proposal that farmers
be included, and with some modifica-
ton it also agreed to cover addi-
tional farm laborers.
The House group voted to include
any farm worker who gets $500 or
more in cash from any farmer in a
year. Now, social security covers farm
workers only if they work 60 days
in any quarter. The change would
include another 1.3 million farm la
borers. Social security rules for other
self-employed groups would cover
farmers.
