CALLING
Cast Completed For
John Loves Mury
By Sherman Mol

| AICer lnree HOurS OF Try
outs, John Loves Mary, our
April 2 production is cast.
Leading roles have gone to
Roger Perry, Judy Kuropat-
kin, Lee Berger.
Roger Perry is a second 1t.
at Davis-Monthan and has
been in son just four
weeks. He comes to us direct
from Broadway, VIII ere he
worked with the cast of 'The
Saint Of Blocker Street. AS
a drama major at Grinnell
College, Iowa, he had the lead
in several major productions.
In his senior year, he won the
Excellence In Speech Tro-
ply" and ais o the Senior
Year Acting Award" This fol-
lowed with a season playing
male leads with the Okiboji
Summer Theater in Northern
Iowa.
Judy Kuropatkin is a men,
Der of the National TheSpian
Society, and is a talented
ung actress. Her acting
dates back to when she had
the female lead in "The Fa-
mily Upstairs" at Roskruge
junior high. She frequently
appears in Tucson high plays,
and was in Kadimah's Mum
bo Jumbo"
Lee Berger needs little in
PRODUCTION. He has appeared
in all Kadimah productions,
and each time receives rave
reviews. He is considered by
many to be the best comedian
hereabouts.
Supporting cast boasts a
group of fine actors in their
own right. Radio, televiSion,
the "Borsht Belt, in all these
Norman Fisch has appeared.
In addition he was voted the
most versatile actor of 1851 in
a summer stock troup of "a
players.
Shirley Szerlip appeared
with the Hunter College Little
theater, and with the Paula
Stone T h a ter in Angel
Stree t., Stage Door, and
Shakespeares Macbeth, by
the way, included in future
Kadimah plans. Lou Ventu-
rini won the Tucson Little
Theater Award last year for
his performance in "Lo And
Behold. His performance as
the Rabbi in our Parting At
Imsdorf'', will be long remem-
bered.
Blanche BerkoWitZ has
given one excellent perform
ance after another in Kadi-
nah plays. You'd have to go a
long way to find a better CO
medianne, and she displays
her best talents in this new
show.
Lennie Di Giovanni proved
his exceptional acting talents
as the sinister detective in
Mystery At The Depot. He
is perhaps one of the most
versatile actors in our city, as
well as being an exceptional
creator of effective stage
makeup.
Harris Jay Block is already
a veteran of four Kadimah
plays, and is rising to better
roles constantly. 1t certainly
is a pleasure to work with

Completing the Capitol

Final completion of the Capitol is in
prospect, after a lapse Of 90 years. APP
proval by the House Appropriations Com
mittee of $5-million fund with which
to extend the east front of the old build
ing as originally intended brings nearer
to realization a dream of Capitol Archi-
tect Thomas U. Walter, who supervised
completion of the dome of the Capitol.
He said in 1863 that the next step, build
ing of an addition to the central east
front of the edif1ce, was "an architectural
necessity" The project has lain dormant
ever since.
Now that space in the Capitol is used
beyond planned capacity and there is
urgent need for more office, dining and
other facilities, Congress has given over
due attention to the eaSt-front problem.
The Senate some time ago approved the
carrying out of 1909 building plan. The
House, which in years past had blocked
similar legislation, recently adopted a
resolution favoring the construction. Ac-
tion of the Appropriations Committee
virtually assures a start on the work,
under supervision of a special commits
sion. The project is justified from both
utilitarian and esthetic standpoints.

Not Sunk Yet

Although the House has joined the
Senate in defeating it, the President has
made clear that he intends to keep on
trying to get favorable action on his
proposal for an atomic-powered exhibit
ship-a merchant vessel that would be
a sort of floating museum designed to
demonstrate to peoples everywhere how
nuclear energy can be harnessed to bene-
At the whole of mankind. Some Of its
opponents have argued, rather effec-
lively, that the idea Is economically and
psychologically unsound, but he still has
firm faith in it--and persuasive argu-
ments of his own in support of it-as an
undertaking that could be Of immense
value in terms of promoting peace.
Thus, as he has told his news con-
ference, Mr.. Eisenhower continues to
advocate building the ship because he
believes that it would do great deal, as
1t moved from port to port, to lessen
international fear and build up popular
pressures and moral force for action to
control and utilize the atom In = way

Farmers Play 1t Sofe'

The national wheat referendum OF
last week end confirmed only one thing.
1t is that an overwhelming majority
IT'S per cent-of the wheat farmers pre-
fer production restrictions, with a guar
anteed price, to a free market. They
prefer, in other words, to "play it safe"
just as they indicated in similar refer
enda in 1858 and 1854. BY the control
plan now approved, the land allotment
for the 1856 wheat crop will be 55 million
acres, the lowest permissible by law
and nearly 80 million acres under the
record planting. Under this administra-
tion's flexible price support formula, q
Government price Of $1.81 per buShel
rs per cent Of parity-has been set for
the 1856 crop. This years planting
acreage was 55 million also, but an 821a
per. cent of parity support assured
price of $2.06 per bushel The alterna-
tive given the farmers in Saturdays
trolls but with prices supported at only
so per cent of parity.
Critics of the administrators fiex-
ible support formula, particularly the
National Farmers Union, campaigned
for continuance of the control plan and
are interpreting the vote as rejecting
confidence that Congress will restore the
30 per cent rigid price supports. Legis-
lation to do this has passed the House
but Democratic Chairman Ellender of
the Senate Agriculture Committee has
said no action is likely on that side
of the Capitol in this session. Many
Democrats, as we'll as Republicans, have
favored giving the flexible support theory
a chance to work, and legislation repeal
ing it this year probably would face a
presidential veto. Hence. there is no
Justification for holding out even an
implied promise that the high supports
will be restored in the near future.
Meanwhile, the farmers vote still
leaves the Government with problem.
Secretary Of Agriculture Benson says
that continuance of acreage controls
means substantially smaller production
than would have resulted otherwise. And
acceptance of lower support prices may
force out of production many marginal
producers - some of them growing in
ferior wheat at relatively high cost in
areas not best suited for the grain. Even
so, the Government will be holding
nearly one billion bushels of carry-over
wheat, with next years production ex-
pected to add to the surplus. The prob
lem of what to do about wheat has been
described by MIR. Benson as the most
serious one facing his department, and
that certainly Is no exaggeration.

that could bring tremendous blessings to
the entire world. And by the same token,
as he envisions 1t. it would help to gen.
crate the kind Of international climate
that is needed for real progress toward
a decent and enduring peace. His view
point certainly has lot to be said for
1t, and Congress, on second thought, may
yet come around to agreeing with him.
In any event, despite the initial adverse
vote, the President has indicated that he
considers the project to be far from
sunk-and much too good and promising
to be abandoned.

Trade and the Soviets

In recent months the Kremlin has
been placing great deal Of stress on the
idea that one of the best ways to pro-
mote world peace is to remove East-West
trade barriers And this line of talk has
put particular emphasis on the argument
that international tension would be les
sened, and lot of economic good accom-
plished, If only the United States and
its allies would end their ban on ex-
porting strategic" items to the Soviet
Union and other Communist-controlled
countries.
But this view, sound as 1t may seem
in theory, ignores one of the basic eco
nomic realities of Our time. Actually, in
keeping with decision made last August,
our country-in concert with allied ma
tions-has greatly relaxed its embargo
on shipments of strategic" goods to the
world behind the Iron Curtain. Thus,
with the exception of Red China and
North Korea. our Government now per-
n1itS, and has permitted for almost
year past, American businessmen to ex-
port to the Soviet empire more than 900
items that used to be on the prescribed
list Yet there has been no appreciable
increase. in trade between the United
States on one hand and Russia and its
European satellites on the other, and the
same holds true for commerce between
the Communists and the West In general.
Why is this so? The answer lies in
the basic reality which the Kremlin fails
to mention in its statements on trade
restrictions. The reality has been con-
servatively described in the special study
just completed by the United Nations
Department of Economic and Social AZ
fairs-a study that confirms what in
dividual experts have been saying for
long time. Stated simply, this expert
view is that the poor state of East-West
commerce is attributable chiefly to Com
muniSt deficiencies. In other words, be-
cause of its industrial and agricultural
policies, the Soviet empire is at present
incapable of producing and delivering
enough exportable goods to finance it's
imports from the free world-a fact that
explains why it has had to sell gold to
pay for such imports.
In these circumstances, the men of
the Kremlin cannot accomplish much
merely by talking about the desirability
of increasing EastWest trade For there
can be no real improvement in that
respect unless and until they solve their
critical farm problems and adopt a new
policy under which they will cease put
ting most Of their effort in heavy indus
try (largely nonexportable armaments)
and start building up light industry to
accelerate the output of sorely needed
consumer goods. Certainly, as long as
they fail to do that they will have little
to sell to other nations in a profitable
two way system Of peace promoting
commerce.

WeH-Merited Praise

The Army's Corps of Engineers,
which survived an attack by the first
Hoover Commission, has undergone criti-
cal scrutiny by the second Hoover Com
mission and, it is gratifying to note, has
come through this time with flying colors
The second group not only has given the
corps high praise for its efficiency and
integrity but even has recommended that
1t be given additional responsibilities m
the, field of water resources.
Whereas the first commission, in a
divided and controversial report, had
recommended transfer Of the engineers
partment, the second commission, in one
of It's final reports, has proposed that
the corps take on the additional duty Of
constructing headwater dams. This Job
now is a responsibility of the Soil Con-
servation Service Of the Department Of
Agriculture. Nowhere in the new report
is there any suggestion that the Army
Withdraw from the flood control field.
The headwater- recommenda-
ton was based on the commissions ap-
probation of "the engineering compe-
tence" of the Corps of Engineers and
the availability of its staff in river basins
involved. A task force headed by former
Governor Leslie A. Miller of wyoming
said 1t could see mo basic reason" for
a conflict between reclamation and flood
control programs and advised against
change in the present division of respon-
sibilities between the Interior Depart
ment and the Army.
The commission, in it's report on
"Water Resources and Power" said it
"joins with the task group in the follow
ing statement: The Corps of Engineers
has an enviable record for safe and ade-
quate engineering design. that it has
demonstrated its ability to carry out very
large engineering projects, and that it
has been signally free of any taint Of
fraud or dishonesty in the administra-
tion OF the vast construction program
with which 1t has been entrusted And
this applies to 131 years during which
1t has had those great responsibilities.
The commission wishes no sentence in
the report to be construed as a reflection
on the corps"
This is high praise from competent
authority on Federal agencies and their
efficiency. And 1t is praise that is well
deserved.

Threw OFF Red Yoke

The 62d annual convention
of the Armenian Revolution
airy Federation (Dashnak Par
ty) is being held in Washing
ton the week of July 2-9.
Little is known of Armenia,
victim of Soviet aggression IN
1921. It lies due east Of Tur-
key, roughly between the Black
and Caspian Seas.
Armenia won its independ-
ence from Turkey May %, 1918.
President Wilson delimited the
boundaries of Armenia for the
League of Nations; the Sevnes
treaty declared Armenia free
of Turkish rule.
Among the revolutionary
groups which were particularly
active in this underground
struggle with Turkish oppres-
sion, the most important role
belonged to the Armenian Rev.
olutionary Federation, the So
called Dashnak Party. found
ed in 1890. This party finally
succeeded in rallying to its
banner all the smaller revolu-
tionary and freedom loving
groups and became the most
popular, best disciplined and
strongest political organization
among the Armenians. This
prestige has been maintained
by it to this day. Beginning
with the early 1905, the Dash
max Party directed the strug-
gle for Armenian national
freedom until the creation In
1918 of the Independent Re-
public Of Armenia, as cited in
a report Of the United States
83d Congress.
The Dashnak Party led the
Armenian people in the first
successful full-scale revolt
against the Soviet government,
and on February 18, 1921, Ar
menia was again a free state.
However, the Soviet army lost
no time in re-establishing So
Wet rule.
But, as cited in the report
of the United States 83d Con-
gress:
"This was the first and only
instant in Soviet history when
an outraged people rebelled
against the Soviet and restored
its independence"
Patriotic .Armenians and the
Dashnak Party Of the world
regard the Soviet theology as q
foreign importation imposed
upon the people Of Armenia
against their will.
The troubles that beset Ar
menia will be solved only when
1t Is rid Of Soviet rule, and q
truly democratic form of gov
ernment is established.

independence of Armenia.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Hoover's Service to the Republic
By GOULD LINCOLI

served 1t well when he was
himself q Republican Pred-
dent. When the great depres-
sion struck this country In
1929-as 1t had struck other
countries earlier in the wake Of
war-Mr. Hoover was soon to
face q hostile Congress, domi-
mated In the end by Democrats.
Almost, it seemed, the Demo-
Gratis. having Mr.. Hoover in q
depression. were intent on
keeping him there until they
could get him out Of the White
House. They declined to CO.
operate with him.
It fell to Mr.. Truman. as
President. to receive the report
and recommendations Of the
first Hoover Commission. Mr..
Truman himself, and with the
aid of Congress, translated
many Of these recommended
tions into fact, with benefit to
Government organization and
efficiency and saving. Presi-
dent Eisenhower. Republican.
and the Democratic S4th Con-
gress now have before them the
recommendations Of the second
Hoover Commission,
Report Sought
The President has asked the
Bureau of the Budget to re-
port to him on these recon-
mendations. The second COM
mission was given leeway to
investigate and report on the
advisability of many Govern
mental operations and the
wisdom of continuing them. It
has done so, and in the middle
of-the-road, progressive-con-
servative way that Mr.. Eisen-
hover has made his own. A
consequence has been vitriolic
attacks by New Deal-Fair Deal
Democrats, who insist that
there shall be no turning back
of the clock, no getting the
Federal Government out Of
activities begun when their ad-
ministrations were in power, no
matter how much they cost.
Whatever the outcome, what
ever the fate Of the Hoover
Commission recommendations,
Mr.. Hoover and his coworkers
have shown the way to more
efficient, less costly Govern
ment-to debt reduction and
tax relief. If their recommen-
dations fall by the wayside in
bitter partisan political strife.
the loss will be the country's.
With all his great qualities,
Mr.. Hoover is a modest man.
He has always been the first
to give credit to other men,
bers of the commissions which
he headed, and to the mem
bers OF the task forces"
organized to deal with indi-
vidual problems Of Govern
ment. But to Mr.. Hoover must
go the lions share. His talent
for organization, his ability to
pick able assistants in this
great voluntary effort, and his
own tireless labor have been
responsible.
