recently, she was featured in
Corral Theater's "My Three
Angels" and in the TITS pro-
duction of stepping Sisters.
Rehearsals already promise
that this will be Freda's fin

The municipal transit system
will take delivery on five used
busses from the Pacific Greyhound
Lines in San Francisco on August
%. Greyhound Lines submitted the
only bid to the City Council on
July 25 for furnishing the equip
ment.
The three Al passenger diesels

Music Critic Says
Jazz Shows Signs OF
Responsibility

Whitney Balliett, music critic for
the New Yorker magazine and the
Saturday Review of Literature had
this to say during his visit to CBE
Radios "Disk Derby" as host Fred
Robbins Honor Roll Guest"
"At the ripe old age of seven
ty, jazz is suddenly becoming as
respectable as church. For ten
years it's been filling the Carnegie
Halls of teh nation. For at least
five years it has been taught in
~college. And in the past year Or so,
it's begun to sprout in New Eng
land-of all places-in the form
of open-air festivals. Two festivals
have already been held in Newport,
Rhode Island. Another series of
concerts is in progress right now
near Tanglewood, that august sum-
mer pasture of the Boston Sym
phony. And a month ago, Louis
Armstrong played for two nights in
Ipswich, Mass, to a cautious trem-
BILE of old Bostonians.
ITO date, the two Newport Fes-
] tivals have been the most energetic
celebrations of this kind, having
dispensed about 80 hours of good
and bad jazz to some 10000 people.
Because of their success, in fact,
it is conceivable that there will
soon be more jazz festivals than
jazz musicians.
Nevertheless, these festivals are
further proof that the American
listening public, which is a shrewd,
but slow creature, is finally en-
bracing jazz with gusto."

The AI-Africon Play,
Freedom Packed London
Theoter To Capacity Crowd

BY CABLE LONDON Aug. IL
The new all-African play called
"Freedom' opened triumphantly
in the Westminster Theater, Lon
don, last night. AS the curtain fell
the audience, which packed every
corner of the theater, rose to its
feet for a ten minute standing
ovation. They would not sit
down, but went on standing while
the cast sang a specially written
song called freedom" and then
the Bantu National Anthem, "Nko-
81 Sikeleli Afrika" The African
play began in darkness with the
throbbing of African drums and
haunting new song for Africa.
When the curtain opened on a
magnificent blaze of light and
colcr of Royal Palace the audi
ence burst into prolonged applause.
Hundreds of Africans were in
the theater. The whole audience
followed every line of the play
with sensitive attention. Each
colorful moving scene carried every
one into the heart of Africa. A
Nigerian Trade Union leader said,
"ThiS play shows exactly what we
Africans feel in a way no speeches
or newspapers could ever do"
"The Chief who founded the West
African Students Union in London
stated, "Now we understand what
MIRA is = it means unity" One dip

Our Russian Visitors

The IL Russian agricultural experts
now visiting our town are welcome guests,
officially and unofhcially. They have
been all over the United States inspecting
American farms, and wherever they have
gone-and at times their travels have
exposed them to merciless heat and hu-
midity-they have invariably made a big
hit as earnest, intelligent, genial and
friendly human beings. Accordingly. as
they prepare to return to the Soviet
Union, they can feel sure that as indi-
viduals they will take back with them the
respect and good regards of the people
of our country And if they have learned
anything that will be helpful to the
farmers of their own land that is some
thing that few among us will begrudge
them. @4a
1t is a fine thing that these men
have journeyed through the United States
and seen with their own eyes our way of
life. And the same holds true for the
American agricultural group whose mem
bers have just completed a comparable
tour Of Russia, where they have been
greeted with universal friendliness by
farmers who apparently regard them
selves as being better off than ever be-
fore, even though most Of them have
working and living standards that still lag
far behind ours. Exchange visits of this
sort can accomplish no miracles, of course,
but they are all salutary, and they should
be encouraged in increasing numbers as
ventures that can help to promote peace
by generating mutual understanding and
mutual good WILL both of which are sorely
needed in the world.

Presidential Aide Sherman Adams
seems to have embraced the "big stick"

Cain was appointed to the Subversive
Activities Control Board by President
Eisenhower. He was shocked by short
comings he discovered in the Federal
security program, and made speech to
that effect. Shortly thereafter, according
to Mr.. Cain, he was summoned to the

the riot act to him.

The Public Utiliti

proposal for abrupt abandonment of
streetcars in favor of an all-bus transit
system for Washington calls for more
study than 1t has received up to now.
A letter on this page today from Donn
N. Bent, president of the Brookmont Civic
League, cites one phase of the problem.
Other factors which should be considered
before final decision is made were listed
In Star article last Friday by George
Beveridge. It is clear that the pro-and-
con arguments in the Streetcar versus
bus question should be weighed carefully
by the Commissioners before they commit
themselves to any plan for immediate
scrapping of the city's trolley system.
The national transit trend indicates,
of course, that buses eventually will re-
place streetcars everywhere in this coun-
try. Whether the time is at hand for a
changeover to all-bus operations here is
question that ought to be given special
attention during the current area-wide
transportation study. What is needed
is an authoritative, objective finding OF
facts as to the local situation, which, as
1sA4. oCAA1 4CeVCA PO4Ato OuOJ A11NAudCS
difficulties peculiar to the Washington
transit setup. Certainly some provision
must be made to provide for the transit
needs of streetcar patrons who cannot
conveniently use buses.
One factor that bears Importantly on
the problem is the fact that Capital
Transit's streetcars are making more
money for the company than its buses.
However, the streetcar lines serve the
city's more densely populated sections,
while many Of the buslines extend to less
populous areas. Buses operating over the
present streetcar routes well might be as
profitable as the cars. On the other hand,
the company's 805 streetcars are of mod
ern type and its rail equipment generally
up to date. The writing off of such
heavy investment must be weighed
against the admitted advantages Of q
flexible bus system. It would be unwise
to rush decision on this important
aspect Of the changing transit picture in
Washington.

car line (No. 20) concerning
recent suggestions that the
streetcar lines may be aban-
doned in favor Of buses.
We are not, Of course, in
formed as to the overall econ
omic considerations which may
be involved in the final dispos-
ition of this question. There
are, however, several special
circumstances relating to the
Cabin John line to which we
wish to call attention. From
Georgetown to Cabin John. a
distance of perhaps flve or six
miles, the Cabin John streetcar
line runs almost wholly on its
own right-of-way which is
separated for the most part
by a considerable distance
from Macarthur boulevard.
which is the only through
highway in this area. Not only
Is the distance separating the
present Streetcar line from the
Macarthur boulevard q fac
tor, but in many areas ma
tural barriers. such as reser-
voirs. steep embankments. and
streams constitute an impass-
able barrier so that present
users Of the streetcar line
would have to travel for per-
haps a mile or more to reach a
bus line on Macarthur boule-
ward.
Secondly, Macarthur boule-
ward from the Maryland line
outward, is a very narrow and
curving road and is forbidden
to use by the District Corps Of
Engineers for vehicles over six
tons, because the conduit
for Washington's water supply
is located just beneath Mac
Arthur boulevard. For this
reason 1t would appear imprac-
tical to operate buses along
the Maryland section Of Mac
Arthur boulevard.
All Of the residents and
property holders along the
Cabin John streetcar line, as
well as large commercial estab-
lishments such as the Glen
Echo Amusement Park have,
of course, settled in that area
in full reliance on the con-
tinuance Of adequate public
transportation. We trust that
no steps viii be taken by the
District Commissioners which
would leave this entire area
stranded with great destruc-
ton Of property values.

$4,000 over Republican Sem
ator Ives. BY so doing, Mr.
Hartman became the first
Democratic Governor the

The Tammany boss has VEN
tured the opinion that the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation is not sewed up for Mr..
Stevenson, despite the consid-
cradle number Of predictions
Mr.. Stevenson has the prize
within his grasp since the res
cent Governors conference in,
Chicago, where q number OF
the Democratic Governors ex-
pressed their support Of, the
1852 candidate. The nomina-
ton, Mr.. De Sapio said, is not.
in the bag for anyone as OF
today but is still wide open.
And he added that ANY cam

Stevenson supporters will
answer this by saying that
two Democratic Presidents.
Wilson and Truman. were able
to win without New York!
These victories, however, were
attended by unusual circum-
stances, already set forths
Further they will contend that
Mr.. Stevenson will get the
bulk Of the farm vote, or
enough Of 1t to win. This IS
by no means certain, for the
Democrats failed to make
much of a dent in the Re-
publican farm vote in 1854
without the added handicap
which an Eisenhower candi-
dacy would bring them. In adj
dition, Mr.. Stevenson lost the
electoral votes of four of the
States Of the "solid South"
in 1858, and he could easily
lose some Of those votes again.

Eisenhower next year.
Mr.. Hartman, in the view
of Mr.. De Sapio is something
new, whereas Mr.. Stevenson
remains q defeated candidate.
This is a fact that appeals to
quite q lot Of Democrats, who
recall that they knocked in
view three times at the White
House with another candidate,
who was a great speaker-the
late William Jennings Bryan.
1t is Mr.. De Sapio's contention
that Mr.. Harriman's record as
Governor of New York is good
and will give his candidate a
still further boost when the
time comes to determine who
shall be the party standard
bearer.
In fact, Mr.. De Sapio has
