ably until the group landed in a
town where at least a fraction
of the critics are women.
Miss Freeman, between her
two critics. turned out to be a
fine, candid girl with some sur
prises to spring. One Of these
was that her father was once a
Government worker here, that
the family lived in Alexandria,
that she was born In Baltimore
where her mother still has a
farm Gust outside), and that
she really thought to be a
painter, not an actress.
You might think being a movie
star and looking as young and
lovely as she does that Miss
Freeman has no problems. Well.
she does. She's %. she says with
out blinking. and she's sick and
tired of looking 10 years younger
as everyone keeps telling her.
She has stopped feeling ingenue,
or worse, adoleScent, and wishes
producers and directors would
realize this. OF course, as, be-
tween not working and going on
being sweet 16, a girl has no
choice. At least. not with a seven
year-old girl of her own to take
care of.
Only odd thing about her
turned out to be that she didn't
think much of 100000 Leagues
Under the Sea" Her daughter
did not like it either, found it
"corny" which goes to show you
can't please everybody, especially
those with Freeman blood.

Miss Malone, wrested briefly
from Mr.. ONeill, turned out to
be a girl really named Maloney.
We said that was our mothers
name, only spelled the more
fashionable way. "Molony." but
both traced back to the same
clan in Ireland's halcyon days.
"Who knows" Miss Malone
said, we're probably 1,3l3th
cousins"
Anyone who has ever seen Miss
Malone knows this is a nice thing
to be, q 1,313th cousin.

When the critics were leaving,

critics to mingle over orange

author of the original story of
Battle Cry" and also the screen
play
It was a cheerful breakfast
the Carlton has had time to
develop knack for these things
but there was one thing wrong
with 1t. It represented a great
waste Of manpower.
The manpower wasted was
that represented by the Messrs.
Walsh, Urls and Hunter. They
are all pleasant types, well above
normal in conversational skill,
but utterly lost on an occasion
like this. There was no one to
talk to them after the introduc-
tory amenities.
What happened was that. be-
ing feminine and prettier, the
Misses Malone and Freeman
were introduced first to the
critics. Except for the amenities.
as we say, that disposed of the
Hollywood male trio. who moved
to one side Of the table by
themselves.
Thereafter, 1t was simply a
matter of dividing two girls be-
tween three critics and filling
out the table in way that
might be pretty dismaying to a
chief of protocol type like John
Simmons.
In its grotesque way. there is
o kind of protocol to govern this.
It is based upon size, a seemingly
primitive consideration but
workable nevertheless. The burly
critic is one named O'Neill and
he is automatically awarded all
tall girls which, in this case,
happened to be Miss Malone.
Miss Freeman, a pocket-size
actress, was left to be divided
between the critic named Coe
and this one. Save on the rare
occasions when the conversation
became laughingly general. the
Messrs. Walsh. Urls and Hunter
kept their thoughts and words
to themselves.
They were like men who had
been through this many times
before and would wait comfort

Behind-Scenes Workers
Outnumber This Cast rs
By jones Rowland

Proof that all the work in anna
teur theater productions should
not be credited to the cast alone
will be sexemplified Friday and
Saturday by the Foundry Play
ers.
The performers number a mere
four, but they have been sur
rounded for weeks by enthusi-
astic backstage personnel dou-
bling that number many times
over.
'Edwina Black is a Victorian
psychological melodrama which
meant us doing considerable re-
search for the mode of that
era." explained Mary Jane Fa-
blk, stage manager.
The question of where to look
for such mSterial was no prob
lem for Mrs. Fabik, who holds a
graduate degree in library SCI
ence from Catholic University
and now works in a Government
library.
Il don't know exactly how
many went to the library, but
they brought back enough pic
lures and books to satisfy our
needs" she said.
Victorian props necessary for
the one set in the three-act play
were retrieved by members from
q variety of sources.
Luckily, we don't have to use
wigs. the girls having enough of
their own hair for that" she
went on. Furniture and acces-
sories we borrowed from some
elderly friends who like to keep
hold Of that sort of thing"
Some of the women's cos
tunes we made and others we
did over from dresses used in
past productions and few we
borrowed from other theater
groups. We had to rent the
mems suits"
The major property challenge
came with the call for a STAIR
case that must stand up under
considerable traffic during the
evening. Also a couple of French
windows had to be balanced so
they could be swung several
times. The atmosphere will not
require a strenuous glare of
lights, however. as the air is to
be one of a musty gloom.
Ready in the wings at each
performance will be two or three
pairs of nimble fingers anxious
to attack zippers and buttons
for quick costume changes.
Attentively stationed in other
parts Of the theater will be the
stage manager (prompter). usn-

$50 far as credit is concerned
the USDA is in position to assist
eligible farmers whose crops and
orchards have been damaged" Sec
rotary Benson said.
Emergency loans are made from
a revolving fund which we esti-
mate is large enough to meet
emergency needs. In addition, the
staff of the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration, the agency that makes
and services emergency loans, has
many years of experience in this
field and is we'll qualified to han
die the job"
Applications for emergency loans
are made to established farm own
ers and farm operators who are
primarily engaged in farming and
who are unable to obtain the credit
needed to continue their normal
farming operations. Loan funds
may be used to meet normal operat-
ing costs, but may not be used
for the payment of existing debts.
Loans are scheduled for repay
ment over period of time consist
ent with the borrowers ability to
repay. Amounts advanced for crop
production are repayable when the
income from the crops is received.

Failure Toad
.ShipbuiIding
Cost $4,000 Jobs

The Governments failure to aid
domestic shipbuilding in the post
war years has cost the jobs of
about $4,000 American workers,
Rep. Alvin E. O'Konski (R., Wis.,
told the House.
Of 1,347 merchant vessels under
construction today in the worlds
shipyards, O'Konski said, only ID
are being built in U. S. shipyards.
The cost of building these ships
in American yards would have been
about 100000 more than foreign
yard costs. Government aid to
U. S. yards would have cost about
SGT million a year, said O'Konski
but the Government would have re-
ceived back in taxes at least $50
million each year.
He cited the drop of the U. S.
in world shipbuilding to 18th place
in recent years and warned that
in case of an emergency the cost
of this drop would be incalculable.

uSDA AIDS Farmers IN ten
States HIT BY RECENT freeze

The Farmers Home Administra-

states to provide loan assistance to
farmers whose crops and orchards
were seriously damaged by the
recent freezing weather, Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
said today.
In 81 counties in Mississippi and
North Carolina emergency loans
already have been made available
to farmers affected by the freeze.
In Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Illinois, Louisiana, South Carolina,
Tennessee, and Virginia the depart
ment is completing surveys Of areas
affected by the freeze to determine
the extent of the need for emery
ency credit. AS soon as emergency
credit needs are determined in these
eight States the local FILA county
offices in the areas will be autho-
rized to accept applications and
process loans.
In Mississippi, farmers who suf-
fered production losses due to the
freeze can apply for emergency
loans in the following 10 counties:
Copiah, Covington, Kinds, Jeffer-
son Davis, Lawrence, Lincoln, Ran
kin, Simpson, Smith and Warren.
In North Carolina applications
are being accepted in 81 of the
states 100 counties. Counties
