"Critic'S Choice"
A Delectable Play
BY Aza Stanton

Come out, come out, wherever
you are! Your Uncle Dudley is
about to give you the recipe for
a delicious dish of entertainment.
Add a generous portion of excel
lent plot to a heap of tantalizing
dialogue. Mix thoroughly with the
finest batch of acting ever beheld
on the Garrett County Playhouse
stage. Fold in superb direction and
staging and smother the whole con-
coction with laughter tboth chuck
les and guffaws). Result: Critics
Choice"
You will be unable TO prepare
this delicacy at home, SO dine out.
The Garrett County Playhouse has
a special on Critics Choice" this
week, served well done.
Our overly-thumbcd Thcsaurus
cannot supply the superlatives to
describe reactions to Tuesday eve
ning's remarkable performance
When have we seen better acting?
When have we had such delight
full evening? Critics Choice" is
a good play. 1t is not boring. 1t
is not offensive 1t is not sopho-
moric 1t is a GOOD PLAY.
Critics Choice" is unique among
plays in that the plot was sug-
gested by Herald Tribune critic,
Walter Kerr. In his book, How
Not To Write A Play, Kerr wrote,
81 sometimes have visions of a gag
conference in which slick char
acter bounces in, eyes ablaze, and
bubbles over with: Listen. This
guys a dramatic critic, see? So
his wife writes a play He's GOT
to review the play. Take it from
there
Playwright Ira Levin indeed took
it from there and came up with
the story of critic who lost one
wife because he gave her acting
a bad notice, only to reach the
point in his second marriage
where he is faced with the duty
of panning the play-writing eff
forts of wife number Two. Matters
are further complicated by a youth
full director with an interest in the
lovely playwright beyond the call
of his duties, by the first wife
seeking to retrieve her former
husband even at the risk of an
other bad review, and by mother
in-law and young son with stra-
tegies of their own.
(ObIiquely, critic Kerr's personal
experience is paralledel by the
play His wife is the talented au-
thoress, Jean Kerr, who wrote
please Don't Eat The Daisies" and
the current Broadway hit play,
Mary, Mary" Fortunately Mr..
Kerr was not obligated to review

HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED!
Metal Post Hits
Conduit, Sets Off
BIust, Power Loss

One workman was holding a
metal fence post and two others
we're driving it into the ground
with hammers today when the
end of the post hit an electrical
conduit.
Three manhole covers in the
street shot high into the air.
The main wiring under the
street.-the $500 block of Thir-
tenth street N.W.-was burned
out.
Officials said the power loss
was confined to that block and
that the explosion probably
was caused by sewer gas in the
underground conduit.
The workmen. who were re-
ported uninjured, left to restore
their shattered nerves before
anyone could get their names.

The present retaliatory forces
have more than 500 longrange
missiles. The Strategic Air
Command has more than 500
bombers on air alert.
Missile bases now are largely
dispersed and fairly immune to
enemy attack. BY 1867 the mis-
sile sites will be increased 10
times over the 1861 total, with
a big proportion of the total
number protected against nu-
clear attack.
He said there also were i'm
pressive increases in tactical
nuclear weapons but gave no
definite percentages.
United States combat ready
division strength has been in
creased by As per cent in the
last two years. Mr.. Mcnamara
said that by 1868. United

increased 400 per cent. Tactical
air squadrons will be boosted
80 per cent. Their pay loads
have been doubled and their
target accuracy is from four to
10 times better than it used
to be.
Mr.. Mcnamara challenged
the conventional picture of a
world in which the West was

outgunned by hordes of Com
munistS that Western military
leaders would have to fall back
at once on nuclear weapons in

A mystery man now await
ing trial as a suspected spy
for the Soviet Union today was
identified for the first time by
the Justice Department as a
44-year-old native Of TifliS,
Russia, named Alexander So
kolov.
Sokolov and a woman COM
panion were arrested by the
FBI here on spy charges last
July 2 and were using the
stolen identities of Robert K.
Baltch and Joy Ann CARRIER
Baltch, two bona fide Ameri-
can citizens. Not until today
was it disclosed who the male
suspect really is. and Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy
said the woman's true identity
is still unknown.
The real Robert K. Baltch is
a Roman Catholic priest who
is curate of st. Casimir's parish
church in Amsterdam, N. Y.
The real Joy Ann CARRIER, a
blond former school teacher
and mother of two, is Mrs.
Robert Seskin of Norwalk, Conn,
Father Baltch and Mrs. Seskin
had no idea their identities
we're being used by the sus-
pected Soviet spies, the FBI
said.
Sokolov's true identity came
to light today when a Federal
grand jury in Brooklyn, N. Y,
reindicted the pair on the same
charges leveled against them
last July. At that time, the
couple. who have maintained
unbroken silence since their
arrest, were indicted on charges
Of conspiring to spy for Rus
STA and conspiring to act as
foreign agents without the re-
quired notification to the State
Department. ..
The new indictment was
necessary, Justice Department
aides explained. because two
other defendants in the case,
both Russian employees at the
U. NJ, were traded to the USSR
for the release Of two Ameri-
cans being held in Russia. They
were Ivan D. Egorov and his
wife AlekSandra.
The new indictment names
the Egorovs as co-conspirators
but not as co-defendents and
lists two new overt acts the
phony BaltcheS allegedly COM
mitted in the conspiracy.
