CHICAGO, Jan. Is. Two

There was no estimate Of the
damage available.

keepers denied that labor trou-

1854 Campaign Goal
OF S1,463, Set
By Area Red Cross

The seven American Red Cross
chapters in the Washington
Metropolitan Area will seek ST.
463.500 in the annual drive,
Philip L. Graham. campaign
chairman. announced yesterday.
The areas goal is part Of the
$S5 million the Red Gross seeks
nationally. This Is needed to
carry on services in this co1la-
try and overseas in 1854.
Two Vital Needs.
Mr. Graham, who Is publisher
of the Washington Post, said
the two most vitals programs,
are the blood plasma campaign
and the welfare Of servicemen
on duty throughout the world.
The Red Cross Washington
regional blood program has been
an Inspiration to the entire Ma
tion." Mr.. Graham said. "It
serves the blood needs of so hos
pitalS in a 34-county area COM
prising the District of Columbia
and portions of Maryland. Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
Blood donations have de-
creased since the Korean truce.
yet the quota both to civilian
hospitals and the Defense De-
partment remains unchanged at
1880 pints a month. Blood
needs are constantly increasing,
Mr.. Graham pointed out. as
knowledge of the use of blood in
therapy increases.
Last year blood collections in
the Washington region totaled
1881 pintS while distribution
was 117.845 pints.
Aid to Servicemen.
In reference to servicemen Mr..
Graham said, Every mother >
every wife knows the Importance
of the right kind of recreation
for her son or husband who nov,
in cold war status, has more
time to think about himself and
his famiiy'S problems. We must
not fail them"
Division quotas for the forth
coming campaign are: Govern
ment, $648, 800: General Busi-
ness, 1882 900: Residential,
$4,000; City, $50, 900: Alexan-
dria. $35. 900; Arlington County.

There's No Drought in Drama
Quality and Variety in Summer Fore Is Paying Off
Both for the Potrons and the homogeneous Here

Here it is August, right on
the nose, and a drama depart
ment could not ask a likelier
day on which to take an in
ventory of summer entertain
merlt.
"A cooler day, yes. And a
damper one which would put a
less parched look on the face
of the land, the pastures. the
grain fields. the gardens and
the golf courses.
Beyond question 1t has been
q time of drought in nature,
but not in the summer thea
ter. So far as the latter is
concerned, here and elsewhere,
conditions have been as agree
able as they have been dis
agreeable weatherwise. To be
specific: Carter Barron Am
phitheater has at last come
into its own as a community
recreation center; Olney Thea
ter, after a slow start, has hit
a happy and profitable stride;
and the movies, well, they
have been doing so well man
agements cannot believe their
own box-office reports.
The explanation for all this?
A Motter of Quality
In a ready, but perhaps too
inclusive word: Quality.
Certainly it has been evident
in the case of the amphi-
theater's bookings, which have
also had the most attractive
possible variety under the
Field brothers management for
the first time. On the ma
tional entertainment scene, for
a specific illustration, the
summers topmost headlines
In the trade press have had to
do with Ballet Theater's en-
gagement in Rock Greek Park.
Speaking in terms Of dol
lars and cents-and the most
idealistic, artistic people In
the theater do-the prevalent
idea when the Oliver Smith
Lucia Chase company arrived
was that its Is performances
should net 100000. To the
delightful surprise Of every
one concerned-not to mention
the unconcerned - $50. 900
worth of Washingtonians in
sisted upon seeing the ballet
In Rock Creek Park.
The rains that did not come,
to the disaster of the pastures,
were q wonderful asset to the
amphitheater, which has lost

shimmering Fry sidelight on
the ways of love ran four weeks
with Margaret Phillips as its
star, an evidence Of summer
theater taste in these parts
that is highly flattering.
Currently. the theater is en-
barked upon another quality
triumph In Clifford Odets'
1.-THE Country Girl. a bitter
sweet draught that not long
ago would have been regarded
as hopelessly beyond summer
fare level. Yet to come in
Olney's final month are Shaw's
III eartbreak House" and
Laura, the latter an expert
melodrama If not dramatically
lofty.
Excitement and Profit
While these higher caliber
attractions have been making
excitement, and money. in the
live drama centers, motion pic
ture arrangements have for
gotten that summer was once
written of as the doldrum sea-
son. The very arrangements
who once thought it the height
of absurdity to release a good
picture in hot weather are
now showing their best. Multi
lnillion-dollar epics the likes
Of 1.-THE Game Mutiny," Gone
With the Wind" Apache"
Seven Brides for Seven
Brothers" 1.-THE High and
Mighty" and dozens Of others
are charging into the compe-
tition with downright reck-
lessness.
To find, of course, that it is
paying off for them by first
paying off for the patron.

eminently clear to all who
might have given our problem
river only passing thought.
The beautiful Potomac has
been shabbily dealt. with by
man since Capt. John Smith
found 1t fed with many
sweete rivers and springs,
which fall from the bordering
hills"
1t is not a pretty thought
for q summer Sunday, but the
Potomac is an open sewer. We
feed it not with sweete rivers
and springs, but with waste,
industrial and domestic. AS 1t
flows away from us. one gallon
in every six is sewage.
It doesn't flow very fast,
either, for the Potomac is a
tidal river. What we feed 1t
sloshes back and forth here,
especially in the summer and
fall when the flow Of fresh
water from upstream is low.
It takes q drop Of water Al
days to travel from Key Bridge
to Fort Washington.
It is not beautiful water.
Scientists have found it to
contain 100000 bacteria per
100 milliliters Of water. That
is 500, 600 potential carriers of
disease - the dysentaries,
typhoid. paratyphoid, yellow
jaundice, polio-per one big
mouthful.
A Fitting Subject
You may prefer to think Of
something pleasanter on this
first day in August, but the
Potomac is closely linked to
our health and our recreation.
It's condition certainly is a
fitting subject for a public
service television series and
WNBW is to be commended
highly for this searching
examination of it.

since its June opening.
Yet If the weather helped,
as it unquestionably did, so did
a caliher of showmanship
which In earlier bookings pro-
vided such variety as the
American Savoyards' Gilbert
and Sullivan series and a sea-
son of National Symphony
concerts with popular guest
artists. The same Snowman
ship Is now setting the last
half Of the season, with Jose
Greco's Spanish dancers, the
prize musical, THE Golden
Apple" and a finale which will
give the city an outdoor ice
show at the peak Of summers
heat. -
In another way, Olney as the
summers rural drama center,
has reflected the higher order
of showmanship that has char
acterized successful operations
elsewhere.
It was only a few seasons
ago that summer entertain
ment purveyors had a rather
low opinion Of their patrons
taste. A name star, stage,
screen or television, in a tired
old bedroom or drawing room
farce with a potent dash of
sex, was deemed the item of
most popular appeal. For con-
trast when this became un-
bearable even to the producers,
a week of domestic comedy or
farce was inserted into the
schedule to give everybody a
breather.
The Formula Changed
Olney and a few other man
agements completely rejected
this formula in favor Of sum-
mer drama with as much sub
stance as that Of the winter
season.

espousal Of the best aimed too

On the Air

It is an i'll summer which
blows us no good at all on tele-.
vision. On WNBW. for ex-s
ample, the hot weather HIATUS
brought an open half-hour on,
Tuesdays at 1890 pm, which
the station promptly filled
with an extremely pertinent
documentary, "Our Beautiful
Potomac" This is one half
hour retrieved, for six weeks
at least, from the re-run films
and the repeat telescopes.
In general. television pro-
gramming at the local level
is not precisely inspired. It
seems designed, for the most
part, to give conscientious
housewives a sort of mild ex-
cuse for pausing to have a cup
of coffee or a long, cold lemon
ade. It often is a flimsy ex-
cuse; but any excuse is better
than none at all.
Sordonic Title
There have been some ex-
ceptions, Of course, m o S t
notably when the television
folk have strayed into the
documentary field. "Our Beau
tiful Potomac" certainly is
not the first of these. It does.
however. look upon a civil i'll
that belongs to us all. It is
more widespread in its appli-
cation, that is, than a series
on, say. mental health.
The title of the WNBW
series Is purely sardonic. The
