symbolic bird OF the Jean
Anouilh-Lillian Hellman play, Of
course, is Joan Of Arc and sell

more dramatically met.
With all due credit to M.
Anouilh and to Miss Hellman

ton, this is Joan who can use
a miracle of Interpretation.
THE Lark" to make the ines
capable comparison, is not to be
compared with Shaw's saint
JOAN" The latter towers above
the Anouilh-H ellman recall Of
the spectacular career of the
Maid who saved France, but
could not save herself from the
French.
This, in truth, is as it should
be and as M. Anouilh readily
grants. Shaw dealt with the
mystery Of a peasant girl who
became a saint; Anouilh with a
country maid whose strange song
of courage led a nation back to
freedom.
The latter is the one whose
fate is related in Miss Harris
unforgettable performance. Its
setting is the famous trial at
Rouen which makes it a tale
told in retrospect, its immortal
deeds relived in an atmosphere
of anguish, its triumph emery
ing from a tragic tangle of
human error.
It is the wonder of the human
Joan, a long way from saint
hood, that Miss Harris reveals
In THE Lark"
This is girl on trial for her
life, accused of heresy for all
her faith in divine guidance and
the overwhelming evidence that
this alone could have served her.
For nine months, she has lam
guiShed in English imprison-
ment. Now, bereft of her visions
and her voices, she must leave
her verminous cell to defend
herself against the most auto
cratic and austere minds of the
church.
Miss Harris Joan. ringed by
her awesome accusers already
convinced of her guilt, is for
lorn figure. But she is also a
fiery one. She is proud Of
Frances freedom and of the
soldiers she led into victorious
battle. It Is the memory of this
and of the miraculous inspira-
ton of her voices that gives her
whatever strength she brings to
the theological duel.
This, however, is a different
kind of battle and she must
fight it alone. q simple, tortured,
unwashed peasant at the mercy
of forces she cannot understand.

Miss Harris performance makes
it clear that Joan never fought
a drawer battle. Her Heavenly
counsel is no longer available to
her and her companions in bat
tie have deserted her, but her
faith has never been higher
than under the accusation of
heresy.
She presents her case with
simple eloquence, as moving to
the spectator as it is unmoving
to her judges. In the first act
of the play, and the least effec-
tive, she recalls her innocent
resistance to the call of her
voices, but later obedience and
the victories to which it led.
Over the beastly Beaudricourt,
the sniveling Dauphin, and f.
nally the English invaders.
In the second, she moves
decisively but unbelieving and
defiant to a doom that requires
her to renounce her faith to
escape back into the faith of her
accuSerS. Here, hopelessly at
bay. is the Supremely moving
climax of Miss Harris portrait
of Joan, the light of a radiance
that can make no terms with the
dark evil it has fought to ex-
haustion.
Told as it is here, in a series
of f1ashbacks, Joan's story is a
difficult one to stage. It has
been effectively worked out, how
ever, in Joseph Anthony's direc-
ton and a remarkably flexible
and deity lighted set by 10
Mielziner.

liant focal portrait of 1.-THE

BROAD PROGRAM

Besides bringing wheat under the
Acreage Reserve program, the Adj
ministratiOn wants legislation to
exempt from market quotas pro-
ducers who use or feed wheat on
their own farms; to allow limited
sale Of CCC wheat for feeds to eX-
pand the nOncOmmerciaI wheat
area. Nothing was said in the Presi-
DENTAL message about certificate
or ''twO-price" plan for wheat.
Other goals of the Administration
farm program include repeal of the
federal tax on gasoline used on the
farm; domestic sale of CCC stocks at
lower prices than the los per cent of
parity, plus carryOver charges, now
required; extension for two years of
the School Milk Program with the an
nual appropriation increased from $50
million to SIS million.

''broad and effective participation by

In the Presidents farm program is
a promise that does not depend on
the will of Congress. ''The pork pur-
chase program now in progress" the
President said, "will shortly be stepped
up to supply new and expanded outlets
now being developed" He also an
nounced that soybean supports will be
increased this year.

WASHINGTON, DC. = Washington
farm spotlight is now turned on the
two-part Soil Bank
to include ID an Acreage Reserve
and ~ a Conservation Reserve. The
latter would be acres voluntarily taken
out of cash crops by farmers and put
into grass, trees or water storage. The
former would be allotment acres also
voluntarily withdrawn from production.
Purpose of the Acreage Reserve
is to cut both production and sur
pluses at the same time. The pro-
gram would apply particularly to
wheat and cotton, but also perhaps
to rice and corn.
Basic idea is to encourage farmers
to underplant allotments by offering
certificates which could be either
cashed or exchanged for quantity OF
government-held CCC stocks. How
much certificates would be worth has
not been decided, but President Eisen-
hover asked for an incentive level'
high enough ''to assure success of the
program" Administration hope is to
undercut this years wheat allotment
by as much as 20 per cent?
Worth of the certificates presumably
would be about equal to the net profit
an operator might normally expect
from the land he did not plant. The
farmer, Secretary Benson says, would
in effect ''have net income insurance
on acres he does not plant :.
even in a year of complete crop
failure"

REDUCE SURPLUS

Secretary Benson says it is inn
possible to give ''hard and fast'
estimates of how much the Adj
ministration Soil Bank will improve
prices and incomes. But, he says,
sour economists estimate that
prices would now be perhaps 10
per cent higher than they are-if
we did not have j.. surpluses. And
they calculate that last years farm
income could have been about 20
per cent higher. :"

WOOL PAYMENTS

More lamb feeders will be eIigi-
BILE for federal payments under a
change in rules announced recent
ly by the Agriculture Department
for the program beginning April 1.
The change is due to charges that
the payment under the 1854 Wool
Act Disseminated against the
smaller operator.
Under the change, each rancher or
farmer who sells unshorn lambs will
be eligible for payment-provided he's
owned the animal for 80 days or more.
Payments to each producer will be
made on the weight or weight increase
of the animals that occurs during his
ownership. The grower who sells the
animals to the slaughterhouse will get
a pull-woOl payment minus the sum Of
payments made to previous owners.

Payments on the 1855 wool program
are due sometime this summer.

$500 MILLION PROGRAM

Planting history of farm would
not be lost when allOtments were
underplanted under the Acreage
Reserve plan. A ticklish problem in
working up Soil Bank plan has
been the question of whether re-
serve acres shall be grazed. Even
before Mr.. EiSenhOwer's farm mes
sage, livestock and dairy groups
were vocal in their opposition to
grazing of Soil Bank acres.
Grazing is ruled out in the Admins
tration-proposed Acreage Reserve. I'm
der the longer-term Conservation Re
serve grazing of converted acres also
might be prohibited, but, in the Presi-
dents word, ''for a specific period"
How long that might be the President
did not say.
The Conservation Reserve would in
volve taking additional acres out of
crops and putting them to conserva-
tion use. Payments would be through
the present ACP conservation pay
ments program for which the Presi-
dent asks $3.50 million in addition to
the present $3.50 million. The 5000 mil
lion total could be invested in the pres
ent calendar year eff the Congress acts
in time said Mr.. Eisenhower.
Goal is to bring into the Conservation
Reserve in the next three years some
Is million acres, or about per cent
of us. land in cultivation.
Farmers would be asked ''to contract
voluntarily to shift into forage, trees
and water storage acres that are now
cultivated. Any farmer would be
eligible. The government would pay,
said the President, "a fair share of the
costs of establishing the conservation
use, up to a specified per acre maxi
mum that will vary by regions. I
recommend that the government pro-
vide certain annual payments for q
period of years related to the length Of
