Fabulous

PrepoidHit
By WILLIAM GLOVER

NEW YORK. Nov. IL R.-
There's no business like show
businessas performed by
Richard Rodgers and Oscar
Hammerstein II.
The fabnlously successful
pairs new musical Pipe
Dream is still far out Of town
on the tryout trail. but is al
ready piping a dreamy tune
on the cash register Of the Shu-
bert Theater box Office.
Reliable reports tab the adj
vance ticket sale so far at about
q million dollars, and with sew
eral weeks to go before the
November 80 premiere, Pipe
Dream" is a nifty prospect to
set a new Main Stem mark for
prepaid entertainment. In adj
dition it looks to gross about
300 thousand on its trial tour.
The big lure, Of course, is
getting to hear early the words
and music Of the remarkable
duo's first new show since May,
1858 l''Me and Juliet'9.
TraubeI Lure
Another lure is Helen Trau-
bel, former Metropolitan OPP
era star and night club singer,
making her legit debut in q
principal role. Opposite her,
young Baritone william john
son gets his biggest Broadway
shot in this show based on
John Steinbeck's novel Sweet
Thursday"
Looking again at the cash
register. a couple of new angles
are to be noted in contrast to
prior R & H enterprises. First,
the words-and-music partners
have financed the production

disclosed) without outside
hackers. Second, they have
lifted their previous ban on
purchase of big blocks of seats
by clubs and other organiza-
tions for benefit" perform

Love and Wilder
One Of the most unexpected
reigning playwrights of the
entertainm e MT season Is
Thornton Wilder.
Already holder of two Pu-
liter prizes for drama and
another for literature, he
scarcely needs assurance Of
success. But the current sit
uation is a bit bewildering.
The reason is television,
which recently presented both
The Skin of Our Teeth" and
Our Town" in swift success
sion.
Now when Wilder, a man
who has packed a remark

into So brisk and enthusiastic
years, turns UP somewhere.

sTIKINE sPoRTsMEN OPPOSE DOUBLE FISH AND CAME LICENSE

The Stikine Sportsmen's Associa ton this week recommended that nc additional fishing. hunting or trap p4ng license be enacted by the next legislature that would coincide with the present Federal licensing laws creating a double licensing system Territorial and Federal. The local group also recommended that the present sport fishing license enacted in 1851 be repealed. These recom- inendations will be made at a meet ing of the Alaska Sportsmen's Coun- cil. Inc. in Juneau Saturday.
 The local club-oldest of it's kind in Alaska-has now affiliated with the territory-wide organization of sportsmens clubs and made these in answer to a re- quest from the Territorial organiza- tion for proposals for it's meeting.
 Meeting last Tuesday night at Buness Brothers store the local club discussed two proposals. One would call for licenses for all hunt ing. trapping and fishing. The other would. in effect. widen the scope of the present Alaska Department of Fisheries to include all sport fishing.

 The local sportsmen are against further licensing unless the Federal license is eliminated, a vote at the meeting showed. and recommends the present sport fishing license be repealed.

The Turning Point

Until Thursday the top-level Big
Four conference had been little
more than an uncommonly polite
get-together among a new set OF
world leaders. They disagreed about
the proper shape of the future. but
in very agreeable manner. The
old differences on the need for
German unif1cation and European
security persisted. but the idea that
both sides could smile about their
differences instead Of frowning pro-
duced mild Encouragement.
Then on Thursday afternoon,
with an electrical storm brewing
outside, President Eisenhower
brought to the square conference
table in Geneva's Palace Of Nations
a proposal which changed the whole
direction Of the meeting.
He confronted the Soviet leaders
with an offer to exchange blueprints
OF the two countries military es-
adjustments, and to permit each
side to take aerial photographs
wherever they wish inside the
others borders. He suggested these
exchanges begin very quickly, as
between ourselves-immediately."
Not only was this, as the Presi-
dent said. "a beginning" at devils
ing an effective system of arms in
spection, which is the key to world
disarmament. 1t was also a bold
thrust at the heart of the Kremlin
dictatorship. or, more specifically,
at the very men who sat to his
right at the summit" conference

In 24th Day Of Strike,
Transit Patrons Note
No Visible Progress

At midnight last night the Wash
ington transit strike entered its
oath day. The company and union
apparently had made little progress
toward a settlement during the
week. The District government
and the House ano Senate District
of Columbia Committees debated
and discussed and wrote and re-
vised-but moved hardly q visible
step forward.
This is how the week went:
. Negotiating" sessions between
representatives of labor and man
agement remained essentially glar-
ing contests.
. The one offer at compromise
made by the company-was turned
down quickly by the union.
o District Commissioners sought,
but have not yet received, power to
seize and operate and then revoke
the franchise Of the company.
. A raft of bills languished in con-
gressional committees, each de-
signed in some way to force a halt
to the strike. but each failing to
arouse general enthusiasm.
Q The union reported it was re-
viewing its position to see If there
was q chance to move toward q
compromise.
. Patrons Of Capital Transit were
still waiting for those streetcars.

for seizure. revocation Of the fran
chise and variations on those
themes also were still pending.
But neither House nor Senate
showed signs of pushing one Of
the bills to passage. None seemed
sure Of majority support.
10 Cents and 5 DoIIors
Only one move toward a settle
ment by traditional means was
made public. The company offered
a 10-cent-an-hour raise and a $5-
a-month increase in pension bene-
fits. The union rejected the bid
because it was too low and because
1t did not give the workers chance
to negotiate on the scores of con-
tract provisions not touched by the
offer.
AS the week ended it was a rash
man who would predict the end Of
the strike, though some hopes were
pinned on a union announcement
it would have some kind Of state
ment Monday.

The District

The District Commissioners final
ly produced their formula for ac-
complaining the twofold objec-
tive Of ending the strike and run
ming the unpopular Wolfson man
agement Of the company out of
town. Congress was asked to ap-
prove . new law which would give
the Commissioners power to seize
the transit company, revoke the
franchise on q years notice and
operate the company during the
year interval
The commissioners case against
the company boiled down to this:
First, the financial record of the
company indicated the present
management. headed by Louis E.
Wolfson, chairman Of the board.
was trying to milk the company
Of assets and then leave q ruined
transit line in the hands of the
city.
Second, the company was no
longer providing transit service in
Washington.
During the seizure period the
Commissioners recommended the
company should be run by the
District with full power to spend
money and issue orders as 1t saw
fit. In other words. a raise could
be given to employees. All expenses
would be stood by Capital Transit.
The company, not the District,
would be liable for any lawsuits
brought during the seizure period.

REVIEW OF The WEEK
y. S. SEXES New Initiative at Geneva
No Real Progress
On Substantive
Issues Reported

New personalities in big-power
diplomacy, dominant among them
President Eisenhower, produced an
unexpected result in the historic,
six-day meeting at the summit"
that ended yesterday at Geneva.
In one daring maneuver the
American President threw his cold
war adversary. the Soviet Union, on
the psychological defensive. This
in itself was almost wholly unfore-
seen before the conference began.
But more important. Mr.. Eisen-
hover set the world stage not for
a truce In the cold war, which was
what the Soviet Union wanted, but
for an eventual free world victory
without World War III. His British
and French colleagues, astounded
and perhaps skeptical. nevertheless
warmly endorsed his new effort.
Whether the President has the
intention to follow up his half
planned, half-spontaneous FIRST
step" at Geneva with co-ordinat-
ed executive and legislative effort
at home remains for the weeks and
months ahead to tell.
As for the formal business Of the
conference-German unity, Euro
pean security, disarmament. and
expansion of East-West contacts
nothing important was accom-
plished all week. The best the Big
Four could do was agree to try
again in the fall, with last weeks
smiles. instead Of the last decades
frowns, frozen on their faces.
Foreign ministers are to meet on
the German unity and European
security questions next October.
after the Soviet Union has had BIZ
lateral talks with NATO -allied West
Germany on the same subjects.
The United Nations disarmament
committee will resume its meetings
in New York August 20.

Far East

Spectacular developments at
Geneva all but eclipsed other
foreign news last week. In Ar
gentina, for instance, Dictator
Juan Peron was said to be in more
serious trouble with the navy and
the Catholic church-possibly even
with his own army associates
although no conclusive evidence of
his imminent collapse was at hand.
In North Africa, Moroccans and
French colonS were trading ter
rorist raids while French Army
units tried to restore order.
Another outbreak of violence in
Wet Nam did get slightly more at
tention because it was tied in with
developments at Geneva. On
Wednesday, July 20. the day nego-
tiationS between North and South
Wet Nam were to begin over the
holding Of nation-w wide elections,
mobs sacked Saigon hotels in
South Wet Nam.
Rioters said they were protest.
ing the ineffectiveness of the In
ternational Control Commission,
stated by Indians, Canadians and
Poles, who were alleged to have
permitted Communist infringe
ments on the truce terms.
So far South Wet Nam has
shown reluctance to 60 through
with the elections which were
scheduled at the Geneva Confer
ence last year. The Wet Namese
did not participate in the con-
ference.
At Geneva late last week. the
United States was rumored 10 he
joining Great Britain and Se
Soviet Union in urging the SAAon
government to begin the election
negotiations. Previously, the State
Department has been sympathetic
to South Wet Namese Premier Ngo
Dinh Diems conviction that he
should not be forced to elections
before he can consolidate his own
position at the head Of his shaky
government.

Disarmament, Trust
And the Iron Curtain

American-Soviet exchange of
military secrets and unlimited aerial
reconnaissance over each others
territories would oS course mean an
end to the Iron Curtain. On Friday,
the President bluntly asked that
the curtain be rolled up, and that
contacts between the Soviet and
non-Soviet worlds be greatly in
creased.
But the disappearance Of the Iron
Curtain would quite probably mean
an end to the Kremlin leadership's
absolute power. For if ever the
Soviet masses are not isolated from
the rest Of the world, the Commu-
mist bosses will be deprived of their
opportunity to build a picture of
the great foreign menace. And this
synthetic menace is necessary to
keep the Soviet Union swarming
with secret police, who maintain
the Moscow dictatorship in power.
Unless the Iron Curtain is torn
down, however, the West cannot
trust the Communists enough to
justify cutting its own armaments,
or disband its defensive alliances.
For the free world must be able to
see for itself that Moscow has
really abandoned it's concentration
on armaments and its plans for
spreading communism throughout
the world.
Here was the squirrel cage"
President Eisenhower had referred
to before he went to Geneva:
Without fundamental change
in the present Soviet society, there
could be no trust between East and
West. Without trust, there could be
no disarmament; without disarma-
ment, there could be no trust.
MIR. Eisenhower at Geneva at
tempted to kill all three birds with
a single stone. BY opening the
Soviet Union to free world scrutiny
he hoped to:
. Take a first step toward effec-
tive disarmament.
. Part the Iron Curtain.
o Replace the present Soviet des-
potism, which rules in secret for
its own selfish aims. with form of
government that could operate in
the open for the benefit Of all its
peoples.
Then the job Of building the
foundations Of worldwide trust, on
which genuine peace depends. could
begin.

Congress

There was scattered support for
the Commissioners bill in Congress.
There was scattered criticism. And
there was widespread apathy.
Dewitt 8. Hyde, Republican from
nearby Maryland, formally intro
duced the bill In the House, but
Senator John Marshall Butler. Re-
publican Of Maryland, said he
would oppose the bill, as it provided
for no service to suburban Mary
land.
Several Congressman pointed out
the bill was an unusual approach
at a strike settlement and looked
like a dangerous precedent. Others
pointed out that the union. not the
company, was on strike and that
the company. not the union. had
made the only compromise offer of
a settlement since the strike started.
They asked If the company should
be blamed for the current lack of
service.
Committees Plan
The Senate committee modified
the bill to permit the District to
contract with some firm to run the
line during the year pending fran
chise revocation. Capital Transit
itself could be the contractor. oper-
ating the company to suit the
District government.
Meanwhile in the House Joel
T. Broyhill, Republican of Virginia.
offered a new bill to handle the
transit strike roughly the same as a
national emergency strike Is han
died under the Taft-Hartley Act.
There would be an injunction which
would end the strike temporarily.
Then a fact-finding body would
study the case, and union and
management would be urged to ne
gotiate. At the end Of q 180-day
period, If there was no settlement,
union members would vote on the
company's latest offer.

CONGRESS
Air Force Secretary
Is Put on GriddIe for
His Outside Interests

When Candidate Eisenhower de-
scribed his crusade" in the 1852
campaign. he said this:
1.-THE new administration will not
tolerate any deviation from an un-
compromising code of honesty and
ethics in Government service"
A hearing before the Senate In
vestigations subcommittee last
week indicated that the. President
will have to make his first major
decision about a possible deviation
from the uncompromising code.
The question: Shall Secretary of
the Air Force Harold E. Talbot
keep his jobf
The committee found that Mr..
Talbot. while Secretary for Air.
had solicited business for q firm
in which he was a partner, had
prof1ted from it to the tune OF
about 100000 a year, had used his
official Air Force stationery for
some of the solicitation letters, had
used Air Force personnel to help
in the solicitations, and had done
business with firms holding and
seeking defense contracts-and at
least one firm that had done helf
its business with the Defense De-
partment.
To the Democrats on the COM
mittee this added up to evidence
of improper action by the Secre-
tary. Republicans. however, de-
Tended him and said Mr.. Talbot
had done nothing to beaashamed of.
Mr.. Talbot himself in brief
hearing said his dealings had been
completely ethical and had fol-
lowed the letter and spirit of his
pledge when he took the Govern
ment job that. although he would
remain special partner In the
firm, he would accept no money
from it that came from accounts
essentially" in defense work. The
firm-Paul B. Mulligan &, Co.
does clerical efficiency studies for
other companies.
The Secretary offered, however.
to give up his partnership If the
committee would agree that he had
not done anything wrong.
Administration leaders met to
decide on advice to hand President
Eisenhower when he returns from
Geneva. They asked themselves
whether Mr.. Talbot had broken
the code of the crusade and what
would be the effects Of his dis
missal or retention,
And the subcommittee met yes
terday to decide its course of action.
After q long Saturday session
behind closed doors, the commit
tee voted to hold a full-scale in
vestigation of Mr.. Talbott's busi-
ness activities. The four Democrats
voted for the probe; the three
