Legislation which concerns our
role in bolstering the military and
economic security of the free ma
tions OF the world is Of vital con-
Germ TO us all. The debate in Con-
gress raised some interesting ques-
tions and problems Of importance
to Maryland. Among them was the
question of shipping foreign aid
goods. particularly farm surpluses.
in American ships The law pro
vides that 50 percent of these
goods must, if possible be shipped
in our own merchant vessels
This so-called $3.50 provision
has been widely misunderstood 1t
is a provision designed to aid the
shipping industry-an industry es-
sential to Americas and Mary
lands economic welfare The re-
quirementS are simple. first, goods
must be carried at world shipping
rates; second that if no cargo
space is available the goods may be
shipped in foreign hulls. would
point cut that it costs no more to
ship American. and that l have
been assured there is an ample sup
ply Of American vessels.
Some foreign governments, in
order to bolster their own maritime
shipping, have tried TO sell the
American farmer "bill-of-goods"
charging the $3.50" provision
hamstrings the disposal of surplus
farm crops. These very govern
ments have learned through the
actual working of the law that the
farm disposal program is not
hampered 1t has been a distinct
disservice to the American farmer

| would also like to call your at
tention to report on the federal
impact law submitted by the De-
partment of Health. Education and
Welfare to the House Education
and Labor Committee | may say,
that while the report contains some
incorrect impressions on the law,
there is nothing in it which is adj
verse to enactment of the correct
ing legislation this session of Con-
gress.
The report errs in trying to indi-
cate that other school districts
were penalized ON school construc-
ton contracts between the cffec-
tive date of the law and the first
cutoff date This is not true since
these districts were aware of the
first cutoff date; what school dis
tricts were not aware of was that
there would be a second cutoff
date. And having acted in good
faith these school districts should
not be faced with a loss of school
funds. I am urging the Committee
to report out my bill for action this
session.

rHEATER WEEK
Broodwoy;s Success
Poses q Dilemma

ter jam is bad indeed" one
veteran said.
He referred to the Lindsay
Grouse comedy, 1.-THE Great
Sebastians," which stars Al
fred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne.
The show comes into the
ANITA on January 5 amid
hopes that some other theater
will become available before
its 412-week lease expires. An
other show is already booked
to move into the ANITA then.
Boom Unexpected
Although the current wave
of boxoffice hits has empha-
sized the problem. the housing
squeeze has been developing
for several years.
Smaller houses no longer
provide enough revenue to pay
the mounting costs Of show
production-so are torn down
for garages. Conversely. some
of the larger houses have been
rented to television networks
for studios by landlords tired
Of gambling on finding q sue
cessful show for a tenant.
No one. Of course. saw the
1866 boom season coming.
The extent to which that
boom may develop was fore
cast recently by the trade
magazine. Variety: Broadway
stage shows between Christmas
and New Years may register
their first weekly ticket gross
over 81 million.
Ahead Of Last Year
Several weeks ago the sale
figure passed 100000. Ca
pacity business during the
holiday week. together with
the upper scales Of New Years
eve performances. can achieve
the million mark.
Altogether, Variety noted,
Broadway through the end Of
November has racked up SIS
100000 since the theater year
began June heating last
seasons high by 50 million.
Conspicuous in the boxoffice
upswing this year is the rise
in popularity of serious drama.
Last season seven serious dra-
mas arrived through middle
cember - and five quickly
closed. This year there have
been 10-and only four have
failed.
Impressive Competitors
The winning list Is q glow
ing invitation to holiday the
ater-going.
1t includes such outstand-
ing items as "A View From
the Bridge" THE Diary Of
Anne Frank" Tiger at the
Gates" and "A Hatful Of Rain"
impressive competitors for
prize consideration later.
While think pieces have
been the main lure for ticket
buyers, comedy hasn't been
neglected. with such worthy
arrivals as mo Time for Ser
geants." The Matchmaker"
and Janus.
Oddly enough there's not
yet a good melodrama, and
neither of the new musical
comedies-"The Vamp" and
Pipe Dream"-compares with
such early season offerings Of
last year. THE Boy Friend, p"

WEEK
BY WILLIAM GLOVER

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 R.-
Broadway, now at the midway
mark in q season Of record
success, Is finding prosperity
pleasing-and perplexing.
The big delight: Boxoffice
crosses nearing an all-time
mark Of 81 million per week.
The big poser: How to find
room for other shows.
Main reason for such q
strange dilemma Is the excep-
tional series of remarkable
dramatic offerings which have
arrived on the Great White
Way since September. The
trade doesn't recall such a
brilliant surge Of activity in
many moons.
Take a comparison with last
season alone:
Through mid-December OF
last year, "a shows arrived, in
GLIDING a couple for limited
engagements only: 10 quickly
Topped. Through mid-Decem-
Der this year. 25-including
four limited engagements
have come to town: only seven
have had to quit. Further. the
quality of the winners has been
exceptional.
The Jam Is Bad
Add to the current crop. IL
holdover shows from previous
seasons and it is easy to see
why every available audito-
rum is booked while an env-
ious swarm of other plays have
to delay production or remain
out on tour in the hinterlapds.
It's this that has a lot OF
Broadway's wisest heads Won
dering.
when the Lunts have to
stay out Of town for weeks
and weeks-and then take only
an interim booking. the thea
