one coming up) that the cam
pus theater has devoted itself
to this sort of festival season.
The previous one was in l947,
when the season was given
over to original plays.
Shakespeare having been a
man Of range, there still will
be ample variety in the pro-
gram offered Gus stable sub
scription audience. A season
of Shakespeare even makes 1t
possible to continue the long
popular tradition of saluting
spring with an original musical
show.
This year it will be a mu-
steal based on Shakespeare"
The season will open with THE
Tanning of the Shrew," which
will be followed at proper in
teryals by "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" Romeo and
Juliet" "Othello" and, finally,
the musical.
AS in the past, the emphasis
at Gu will be on education
rather than box Office. Nobody,
however, will be chagrined by
full houses. Each work offered,
though, will run for no more
than its scheduled two weeks,
no matter what Its popularity,
no matter what the clamor OF
would-be ticket buyers.

MORE PLANS-The autumn
nal season also brings an
nouncement of other plans.
The Library of Congress, to
cite one set of plans, has
scheduled II literary programs
to be offered under the aus
pices of the Gertrude Clarke
Whittall Poetry and Literature
Fund.
Several of these will be OF
especial interest to theater
devotees. The Canadian Play
ers, for instance. will be back
with us, offering Chekhov's

Military to Merge
Communications

The Joint Chiefs OF Staff plan
to merge all military commune
cations into one worldwide sys-

But it may take up to 10
years to accomplish the joint
communications network.
Mai. Gen. James Dreyfus. the
Joint Chiefs communications
and electronics director. OUT
lined the plan yesterday at q
luncheon Of the Washington
Chapter Of the Armed Forces

said. Operation of this funda-

In the next six months, the
general said, there will be pro-
cedural changes, circuit or net
work arrangements and mi

France Faces Threat
Of Recession Period

advantage in the world market
and seriously endanger the
recovery program.
Whether it heralds the begin
ming Of a recession. there can
be no doubt about a showdown
| in the French economy.
The production index, which
showed healthy gains through
the first three quarters of 1858.
started leveling of in October
and fell beneath the previous
years levels for December and
January.
Although France does not
have an unemployment problem.
the number of registered job
seekers jumped 26 per cent in
January. reaching 10000 by
February /. The increase was
abnormally high, even though
unemployment normally in
creases during the winter
months. The problem is more
one Of underemployment rather
than unemployment.
Price-Wage Gap Widens
One big reason for the slow
down is the widening gap be-
tween prices and wages-a gap
made still wider by the De
Gaulle program. Prices have in
creased during the past year
more rapidly than wages with
a consequent decline of purchas-
ing power.
In most economies. when
prices tend to rise too fast, the
competitive squeeze soon brings
them back into line with the
money supply.
In France, where competition
is often lessened by government
controls. the tendency is for
the economy to mark time until
wages catch up.
OF course, Mr.. de Gaulle must
hold the line on wages.
Whether he will succeed de-
ponds largely on the attitude of
the French public. So far they
have borne his truth and au-
sterity" program with surpris-
ingly little grumbling.
There is a chance they would
look upon a mild recession as
just another cross to bear on the
road to recovery.
On the other hand, q recess
sion might provide Just enough
added pressure to bring about
another-and possibly disastrous
I-inflationary wage rise.

PARIS, Mar. 6 (AP).-Pres-
ident Charles de Gaulle's eff
forts to build a politically and
economically strong France are
confronted by a new danger
the possibility of a recession.
Economic observers are
divided on the seriousness of
the threat but all say a recess
sion or at least a period of
economic leveling of is def
nitely possible.
Paul Bacon, Minister Of La
Dor, says he does not consider
the situation alarming at this
time. But an indication Of the
seriousness with which French
officials view the situation is
the recent action Of the Nat
ional Credit Council in lifting
the year-old ceiling on private
credit.
In explaining the action, the
council said it was necessary to
stimulate investment activity.
But such a potentially infla-
tionary move would not have
been taken unless the govern
ment felt the showdown had
gone far enough to warrant
countermeasures.
Bad Time for Showdown
France has weathered post
war periods Of economic stag
nation before. The present
showdown is dangerous because
it comes at the worst possible
time.
Mr.. de Gaulle needs a BREATH
ing space in which to allow the
long range effects Of his re-
covery program to take effect.
Most observers say this will
take six months to a year.
Moreover the immediate eff
fects of his program would be
hard even on a growing econ
omy. In the present situation
they are doubly difficult. De-
valuation and the cutback in
subsidies has had the effect Of
raising prices.
Wholesale prices went up as
per cent in January and retail
prices increased by 3.5 per cent.
These price rises. even under
normal conditions, would haye
the effect Of creating strong
pressure for a general wage In
crease. If the economic situa-
ton continues stabilized or
takes q turn for the worse the
pressure for wage increases may
become irresistible.
Would Cancel Gains
A general wage increase at
this time would tend to set of
an inflationary spiral. Imitation
would In turn wipe out the
benefits Of devaluation, place
