BY HARRY MACARTHUR

The Howard University Players student group obviously
willing to tackle anything theatrical at least once turned
ancient japanese legend to their season. More
precisely it ancient Japanese legend adapted to the
modern stage by Fay and Michael Kanin in their aShomon

seen movie before 1t was a play,
and some stories by RyunoSuke
Akutagawa before it was a
movie. Its familiarity, however,
does not keep it from being a
taxing exercise for a group of
non-profesSIonal actors. Those
under Owen Dodson's directoral
guidance, it is a pleasure to re-
port, churn up quite a bit of
excitment with it on the stage
of their handsome Ira Aldridge
Theater.
"Rashomon," In case you're
not familiar with it, is a sort of
vivesection of the human ami
NAL and search for truth in
a highly melodramatic event. It
is thoroughly engrosSing as it
tells the story of a woman at
tackled, or rather the three Sto-
ries - the victims, her Samur-
al warrior husbands and that
OF the bandit who committed
the deed.
This rapiSt is possibly the
most dramatic aspect of tn e
Howard U. production, as acted
with considerable vigor by Err
nest Long. Ronald E. Stone as
the woodcuter who tells the
story. Helmar Cooper as his
audience and Joseph c. DMel-

as the assault victim and Karl

dramatic conviction.

"Rashomon" moving and con-
tinually interesting and Will

Too much open space in city
redevelopment areas is not only
wasteful but wrong, he said. He
cited Georgetown as an ex-
ample of "a pleasant arrange
ment."
To-day you can't build that
way because of setback rules.
If you'd require Georgetown
houses to be set back 20 feet
from the sidewalk you'd ruin
the place"
Less Rigid Abroad
A closer look at foreign cities
would be helpful in redesign-
ing our own, he believes.
I'm Europe and Latin Amer
lea they often do these things
better than we do because
they're not so rigid.
"In old sections of Charles
ton or New Orleans, you can
walk through a door in a high
wall, along the sidewalk, and
find a charming garden inside.
All over Latin America you can
do the same. How many Amer
lean cities have zoning laws
that would permit it now?"
Suburbs need some design
attention, too, Mr.. Will said.
"Our growth problems have
not been visualized completely.
Instead Of suburbs sprawling
everywhere, we'd be better off
with balanced communities, or
satellite towns, with a we'll
'ounded life of their own"

overcoming any Republican and
Southern Democratic road
block, is expected to clear the
bill Wednesday or Thursday,
despite expected criticism by
Republicans and some Demo-
cratic members.
Attempt to Restrict Rise
Representative Hiestand, Re-
publican Of California. plans to
tell the Rules Committee that
when the bill comes up in the
House probably a week from to-
morrow. he will try to restrict
the increase to $1.15. His at
tempt to do so in committee
last week was blocked.
Other opponents dropped
broad hints yesterday that they
will attempt either to water
down the bill or flood it with
liberal" wage and coverage
provisions that might make it
unacceptable to the White
House. Several Souther mem
bers charged that the bill is de-
signed to penalize industrial de-
velopment and interfere with
State laws in their section.
Mr.. Hiestand attacked the
bill charging it would add to
unemployment, raise the cost of
living, hurt marginal workers
and increase production cost.

and timing OF the proposed
increase and in the dollar VOL
ume of business done by af-
fected industries.
The measure approved by
the House Education and Labor
Committee would increase the
present 81 an hour Federal
minimum wage in two stages
to $1.15 four months after en-
actment and to $1.25 two years
later. President Kennedy Sug-
gested a three-stage increase
to $1.15 this year, $1.20 next
year and $1.25 the third year.
House opponents are. given
a good chance Of limiting the
increase to $1.15 or less. The
House last year voted 211-203
for $1.15. The Senate voted for
$1.25. But there was no final
agreement. Republicans say
they are confident that "a sub
stantial number" of Demo-
Gratis will vote with them this
year.
Some to Press for Defeat
Some Republicans as well as
Southern Democrats will press
for outright defeat Of the bill.
Most concede privately, how
ever. that the House will pass
some kind Of bill to raise wage
minimums and broaden cover
age.
The committees bill would
blanket in approximately 4,311,-
900 workers and apply also to
the 81 million already covered
by the present 81 minimum. The
newly covered employees would
include 3 million in retail and
service businesses, million
construction workers, 100000
Seamen in United States Ii
censed ships. $4,000 local tran
sit workers and 10000 local
telephone operators.
Workers covered for the first
time would get a minimum of
81 an hour the first year, $1.05
the second, $1.15 the third and
SIPS the fourth.

Mr.. Will believes people have
been getting a fresh interest in
city life by watching the Pres
ident in news photos, on tele"
vision and in newSreels.
"He stands at the doorway of
a row house. He strollS along a
brick pavement with his daugh-
ter. He drops in on friends

Backs New Department
This is city life-intimate
pleasant, the way it is being
made for more and more peo-
pie. People yearn for this kind
of living. More and more they're
beginning to get it."
Mr.. Will said architects all
over the country are "a thou

Presidents proposal Thursday
for a cabinet-level Department
Of Housing and Urban Affairs.
1.-THE whole housing message
was a remarkably clear state
ment of the need" he said.

dent has fully recognized this. "

'Co!LeueMess'
BY the Associated Press

Senator Keating, Republican
of New York, says he'll ask to-
day for a new investigation of
athletic scholarships and rack
eteer influence in sports.
1T is time to look into all
aspects Of hoodlum invasion of
the sports field" he said yester-
day in a teleyision program
taped for broadcast in New
York. Heating said he would
submit his proposal today at
q closed-door meeting Of the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
The need for an investiga-
ton. he said, is shown by a
new college basketball bribe
scandal and by alleged monop-
oily control Of racketeers Of
wide areas Of sports.
I'VE will not clear up this
mess and rid our college cam
puses Of the menace Of corrupt
ing players until we have
tighter laws to control the dis
semination Of gambling across
State lines" Keating said.
adding:
Basketball games are by no
means the only target for these
gambling operations. As q mat
ter Of fact, twice as much is
gambled on baseball and al
most as much Is gambled on
football games.
They are in the same danger
as basketball.
THE amateurs who have been
introduced to their college ca
reers by attractive offers Of
athletic scholarships and other
inducements which have moth
ing to do with their intellectual
attainments can be easy targets.
Perhaps they are no more
aware Of the sinister backing
of the contact man than Is the
rest Of the public, or maybe
they Just haven't learned to
resist the lure Of easy money"

How to Make "Tiny Tim" Into
Big Man

a Big Man
Any of you smaller bowlers
who are tired of remarks about
your size or the speed Of your
ball can follow the example of
my friend Tiny Tim" Tim was
always being ribbed by other
bowlers because his ball was
a bit slow.
Join the ladies league" was
a standard crack that used to
set Tim on fire. But then, he
listened to his instructor, who
advised him to go from his
four step delivery to a five-Step
approach.
This gave Tim a little more
time to generate speed in his
approach. With this extra body
momentum, Tim found that he
could roll a faster ball without
straining. His ball was still
working when it hit the pins
instead of being all rolled out
Adding this extra step to the
approach lengthens the foot
work and gives the bowler more
time for his arm swing, too. II
the arm swing wasn't long
enough or the backswing high
enough, this gives it more time
to increase its arc.
1t will take practice. However.
to develop this five-step ap-
proach. You will have to work
into it slowly. You can practice
at home as we show by walking
through the steps without the
ball. For q while your timing
will be bad. But gradually the
footwork will mesh with the
arm swing. And your timing
will improve.

Metro Victory in Miami Justifies the Idea

gineering countrywide, after over
coming the usual municipal re-
sistance. Results were immediate.
Speed limits became uniform in
stead of varying every few blocks.
The overall job was done cheaper.
But because Metro shouldered the
burden-even TO paying cities
for their traffic inventories and
equipment-its own cost naturally
went up.
Traffic Engineering
In theory, city taxes should 60
down more than Metros go up as
a result of such service consoli-
dation. But it hasn't worked that
way and Metro gets the blame.
Yet the more far-sighted ele-
mentS of the community realize
that Metro is the only hope of
handling even bigger jobs that
lie ahead. In a few weeks, for
instance, a master water-and-
sewer plan is due to be presented
after years of work. With it,
Metro can begin ending the chaos
Of 81 private water and sewer
companies whose lines run helter-
skelter across the suburban areas.
Metros able Planning Depart
ment has blueprinted a Magic
City Center Plan" for renovating
the heart of downtown Miami
and also finished a countrywide
land-use plan. Next is the Ia
boriouS task of creating a uni
form zoning program acceptable
to the cities.
The next crisis, due at any
time, revolves around Metros
planned take-over of the areas
four major bus lines. Transit
magnate William Pawley agreed
to sell them after protracted bar
gaining and a SO million revenue
bond issue is being validated. But
union drivers have indicated they
may walk out rather than sur
render collective bargaining rights
as county employees.
For all these reasons, Metro
remains both the hope and de-
spair of it's citizens, With every
likelihood of facing them again
at the polls at any misstep.
