Newspaper Page Text2-(Sec. I) Statesman, Salem, Ore., Frl, May 2, '58 Satire on Russian ej Reds Entertaining By DON SCARBOROUGH ftaft Writer, The Statesmaa' What could be better fbr May Day than satire en Communist Russia, specially such an enter taining performance as Willamette University put on Thursday night? . "Squaring the Circle," a farcical satire on early post-revolution Russia by Valentine Katayev, him self a Russian Communist, will be given again tonight at 8:15 in the Willamette Fine Arts Auditorium to set off the University's May Weekend celebration. The play concerns two "con firmed" bachelor roommates who marry and bring their wives to share one big, shabby foyer. Slow ly each mate discovert he's mis wed and begins coveting his neigh bor's property, and although everything is supposed to be so cialized in the Soviet Union, Marx ian ethics keeps them from shift ing around. Circle Realigned After some humorous digs at not only 'Communism but at human nature, the unhappy circle is re aligned into a contented square by a patriarchal Communist dis trict organizer who gets them to trade mates. Maybe it isn't (air to kick the author who dared poke fun at his country (and who's maybe even in Siberia by now) or to deny the Moscow audiences who were rolled in the aisles by it, but "Squaring the Circle" doesn't have much meat. American authors who've never stepped outside the' county have written just as well, or as ineptly, about life in Russia, and have worn out' all the punch lines. A few good jabs remain, but on the whole the script s more high schoolish than the solid stuff Wil lamette likes to put on. WeD-Speat EVenlag Even so, the evening is well- spent and if an audience's reaction is the test, "Circle scored a hit. The acting, wis in the tradition Salem has come to expect of Willamette s drama department. Excellent acting throughout made the weak parts of the script aeem good, and the good parts Mrs. Douglas To Address Young Demos Helen Gahagan Douglas, former Democratic congresswoman from California and alternate delegate to United Nations, will be featured speaker here Saturday, May 10, at a , convention of Oregon Young Democrats. Mrs. Douglas will speak at an evening banquet at the Hotel Mar ion and on Friday night. May 9, will be guest of hondr at a recep tion at the Marion. Her speech will deal with -foreign affairs. Sponsor of Mrs. Douglas'' appear ance here is the National Young Democrats organization. Purpose of the state convention is drifting of resolutions to express opinions of young Democrats in fields of domestic and foreign policies, offi cials said. Willamette University Young Democrats, headed by Fred Cham bers, are helping in arrangements for the convention. $2 Million Plywood Mill Due at Coast PORTLAND Construction will start May C on a new plywood mill at Coos Bay.

Mifcliell Urges' Tax Cut Verdict Within 60 Days WASHINGTON Wl Secretary ot Labor Mitchell Thursday called for a decision within 30 to 60 days re garding a tax cut. He told a news conference, de voted to the question of how to overcome the recession, that he sees no solid Improvement ahead. At the tame time. Mitchell aaid he agrees with President , Eisen hower that the recession seems to be fattening out. While the House debated ite way toward a vote on broadly ex panding jobless pay benefits, an other parade of witnesses gavt Senate-House Economic subcom mittee these views on what to do: 1. Spokesmen for the AFL-CIO, the National Grange, TheyNational Farmers Union, and the Ameri cans for Democratic Action all called for quick tax cuts. Finds Ne Reason I The American Farm Bureau, largest and most conservative of farm organizations, reported it found ne reason for major fed eral action. 3. The National Association of Manufacturers called for an ef fort to deal with the underlying causes of both inflation and re cession. 4. The Committee for Economic Development aaid that If the eco nomic decline continues through May, it would wait no longer on calling for a big tax cut. Suggests Deadline Secretary Mitchell suggested hii deadline in these words: "If there is a bolstering of the economy necessary and that de termination has to be made rea sonably soon then, as opposed to any other form of government ac tion, such as a large scale public works program, I would favor a tax cut "I think a decision should bo made reasonably soob as to what needs to be done. I think within the next 30 to 60 days." Mitchell was being consistent In favoring a tax cut over public works. He sail) March 11 that "a major and substantial cut in per sonal and business taxes" would be the next big step, if one should be necessary. Ex Justice of Peace Meted Prison Term TILLAMOOK (1 A former justice of the peace Thursday was sentenced to three .years in prison for converting $4,000 of public money to his own use. "The court does not feel that probation is indicated in this case, said Circuit Judge Glen Hieber as he passed sentence on Walter J. Herd. Herd, 62, had pleaded guilty to the charge earlier. "It is apparent," Helber said, 'that the defendant has consumed alcoholic liquor to excess over a period of two to three years "However, this is no excuse, nor can it condone the crime com mitted," the judge said. "After the defendant has paid his debt to society and conquered his urge for alcohol, he can and will be a useful citizen and con tribute much to his fellow man," Heiber said. Herd is married and has one son. Threats Caused Gang War Rumors Threats by two Silverton youths against two other Silverton boys late Wednesday night resulted in rumors culminating in a call to the Marion County sheriff's office. The call was made by Silverton police for help in quelling a pos sible gang war. Deputies investigating the mat ter early Thursday morning found that no gang war was in process and that the argument apparently was settled peacefully.
