And your ailing rich uncle hasn't died yet and left you his money, so you have to travel on your own skinny pocketbook? And you want to know whether anybody can come here and have fun on a small budget? ... . Brother, at least 7,000,000 of the people wh,o live here will tell you "yes" with some qualifications. ,'. You can do it if you have a real curiosity to see and know as much as you can of this circus too big to put under canvas. But if your Idea of heaven is to simper at gilded celebrities in plush supper clubs nigh', after night why, bet ter wait until your uncle dies, i Go out to Coney island on a Steaming Sunday and see human ity, on the half shell. That is still the New York that O. Henry wrote about. And so is the Bow ery and Chinatown and the edge of, Greenwich village. It's best to see them at night, and the subway will take you to any of those places for a dime. But let's start at the beginning. When you get off your train or bus, treat yourself to a cab ride to your hotel. If you don't know a good, clean reasonably-priced one, ask the hackie. Unless you give him the idea you're just in from Fort Knox, Ky he'll steer , you straight. . Take In Concert . ' , ' ' , Even though your budget is tight you can still work it so that you eat at least once in a big name restaurant, see a Broadway play and take in a fine concert. Timing is Important In these things too. Western Senators Eye Bill Making If Possible To Sue U.S. For Wafer Right Damage . .By WILLIAM E. LOWELL AP Special Washington Service WASHINGTON, July 25-UP) A little bill tossed into the Senate file last week by Sen ator McCarran (D-Nev) has some other western , senators worried. As explained by Senator Mc Carran the bill would permit suits against the United States to ad judicate water rights in certain cases. He- says it is aimed partic ularly at a western river, which he did not name, where the United States has acquired rights by purchase from private hold ers. In that case, he said, if the .. federal government should wani ' to take the water into another stream to the injury of holders of other water rights, the latter could go into the federal courts to determine their rights. Block Power Development One western senator suggest ed legislation of this kind .could be used to block any new hydro electric power development. Sen ator McCarran said, however, He would not lend a hand toward any such objective. He also denied that the bill has anything to do with the dis pute between California and Ne vada on one side and Arizona on the other over state rights on the lower Colorado. Western senators are constant ly on guard against an expan sion of federal control of water sources.

After his arrest, Haigh boasted that he had killed nine persons in four years and had drunk of their blood. However, he was tried only on a charge of slay ing Mrs. Olive Durant-Deacon, a wealthy widow, and dissolving her body in acid. During his de tention on this charge, Scotland Yard investigated the disappear ance of a half dozen Britons be lieved dissolved in acid by a "vampire" slayer. But Haigh nev er was charged with these other -killings. . While the ease was in this status the London Dally Mirror, which claims the world circula tion record for daily (4,000,000), was brought into court on a charge , of publishing an article calling Haigh a vampire and saying he had committed sev eral murders. English law pro hibits publication of any infor mation which might prejudice the trial of - a defendant, and the Mirror ' was . found guilty. The paper was fined $40,000 and an editor was sentenced to three months in prison. s . Not only is the law rigid re garding newspaper publication in such cases, but not ' until after conviction is the prosecution per mitted event to mention crimes which the accused may have com mitted prior to the case in hand.

'The judge a very dignified figure - in . his great gray wig and gown is truly the master of ceremonies, who frequently intervenes In a way which might result in a mistrial In some other countries. The Judge's Job is to see that the truth comes out, and if the lawyer's dO'Vt uncover the facts, the Justice does It for them. For instance, I have seen a, Judge In a murder trial turn to the Jury and say; "You may disregard - entirely the testimony of this witness. He obviously is lying." I also have seen a Judge lean over and ask a witness a lead ing question which resulted In the conviction of the accused. The defense offered, no, objec tion.

The play is no little-glrl-wlth- tissue-paper-angel-wingo kind of pageant, but a play which Va riety reviewed as being "Robust, dynamic, a iriumpn in writing . . . carries the theater back to its cradle not as an Infant but as an adult of powerful stature!" Although drama Is no stranger to the church having found its beginning there it has been 400 years since it has been widely used to tell the stnrv of Christian. ity, said Henry Duffy, director of tne troupe. With the commercial theater choked by high production costs, stifled by cheap and sensational ist plays, with actors anxious to gain a real and vital experience in playing, writers eager to find an outlet for their plays, and the world of 1949 "in need of answers to the questions that loom higher and higher with every headline," tnis return of drama to the church has promise of being one of the most significant movements in the American theater, declared Duffy. . Duffy and the name "Duffv Players" has spelled theater magic to the west coast for 25 years. Such names as May Robson, Char lotte Greenwood, Blllle Burke, Ot to Kruger and Will Rogers have appeared in Henry Duffy produc tions. Duffy Is traveling with the company, his interest being -to see what happens when an audience as a participating congregation finds a story close to its heart given from the pulpit of Its own cnurcn. Although acclaimed by critics. included among the best plays of the year lists, published by Samuel French and produced in four of Los Angeles' leading churches, the drama was primar ily written to be played Jn' small churches, preferrably with local people participating.
