Citizens Oppose
Longer Schooling

The -Four Avenues Southeast
Citizens Association became
the schoolboy's friend last
night as they went on record
opposing the Board Of Edu-
cation decision to lengthen the
school year.
John N. Weber, quoting from
a resolution passed by the Fed
Grafton OF Citizens Associa-
tons, said that the additional
month would increase the diff
ficulty in securing teachers
and that there would be in
creased demands for a higher
salary scale TO compensate for
the additional work.
The resolution pointed out
that families are not always
able to take vacations when
they choose, but must often
plan from a schedule set up by
their employers.
Members Of the Four Ave-
nues Citizens Association
moved to direct a letter to the
Board of Education stating
their reasons for opposing the
added month. A similar letter
will be sent to the Federation
supporting their earlier stand.

New Way Asked
To Pick Winner
Of Star Trophy

Revision of the procedure
now used to select the winner
of The Evening Star Trophy
was asked last night by the
Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton.
The group asked that the
Federation of Citizens AsSocia-
tons adopt a method under
which federation members
could choose between several
candidates whose qualifications
have been screened by a Sc
lection committee.
Under present rules, the fed
eration's selection committee
may recommend only one can
didate to the organization for
its approval or diSapproval.
Members voted Karl Slaugh-
ter Bradford. a past president
of the group, as the George
town Citizens Associations
man of the year"
In other action, the group
urged that hearings be held
as soon as possible on legisla-
ton pending in the House
which would provide for a ma.
tional park along the Chesa-
peake g. Ohio Canal.
The association also asked
that the Interior Department
reconsider a site chosen to
construct a water sports center
in Washington.

THE LYONS DEN
Unlikely Film Hero
BY LEONARD lyons

NEW YORK. Cary Grant
Was 10 have portrayed Eddie
Chapman in a movie directed
by Alfred Hitchcock. Chapman
is the oft convicted British
bank robber and pirate who
was a double agent during the
war. Sy Bartlett, the screen
writer-producer, made a deal
with Chapman. Paramount
took an option on the story.
with $4,000 down and 100000
more 10 come.
But neither Grant, Hitchcock
nor Paramount will do the
moviebecause Of two recent
escapades: A yacht Chapman
brought to Tangier burned and
its skipper died mysteriously.
Then, after a 100000 gold
bullion robbery In England,
Chapman kept telling his
friends: I'm going to send you
a pair Of shoes-solid gold"
The police picked him up and
searched his fiat. That's when
Y. Frank Freeman Of Para
mount Cancelled the deal. He
told Bartlett: II don't like the
idea of having. a movie about
a man who may be in Jail when
we open"
PLAY: Edward ChOdOrOv,
author-director of Listen to
the hooking Bird" finally will
open his play on Broadway at
the end Of next month. He still
has his three stars = Billie
Burke, Eva LeGallienne and
Una Merkel. The play suffered
a remarkable series Of disasters
during its out-of town tryouts.
When he returned to New York
he dined with his brother, Je-
rome-the playwright and di-
rector of "The Gazebo"-and
recited the fantastic tale of
niSfortunes:
The play opened in Boston
in sub-zero weather. Then it
moved to Cleveland where the
storms caused such havoc that
the city was declared a disaster
area. And finally, in Washing
ton, a fire in the theater
destroyed all the sets for the
show. Jerome Chodorov listened
to his brothers sad recital,
sighed. What else could pos
sibly happen?"-then received
a phone call from the stage
manager for The Gazebo"::
Because Of nearby fire on
Broadway, the audience was
being led out of the theater.
X y
EXPENSE: AS the result of
the Washington fire which
destroyed the sets of Listen to
the Mocking Bird" a new regu-
lation will be enforced in New
York theaters: The asbestos
curtain must be kept lowered
except when the actors, actually
are on stage in a performance.
This will add expense to the
present high cost of operating
show. 1t means that back
stage crews will have to be
present and be paid, at all re-
hearsals of players and under
studies.
DEBT: When Edward Chod~
OrOv worked at MGM, Jules
Bache came to lunch at the
con1miSSary with 81 friends.
Bache asked for the check, but
Chodorov insisted on paying it
all. The New York banker gave
