After Bill Steffens, secretary of the new local, disappeared Tues day, McCleary received the first clue to bls departure in a letter from him which Indicated that he had been abducted by three masked men and taken to Med ford where he was presented with a railroad ticket to San Francisco and told to "stay out of town or leave feet first.” Steffens Instead caught a ride back to Grants Paas and borrowed stage fare for a trip to Klamath Falls to confer with union leaders there The rec- ords and charter of the Grants Pass local are missing. McCleary and others allegedly have received the “feet first" warning also by phone calls and visits from a group referred to as the "associated gunmen of Grants ¡•ass."

Angus Bowmer1« Shakes pearean players will try to outdo 'their best in the two final per formances at the Elizabethan theater, "Twelfth Night" to be presented at 8:30 o’clock tonight, and the last play for the 1937 sea son. "Taming of the Shrew,” scheduled for the same hour Sat urday evening. A public banquet will be staged at 6 o’clock tonight at the Lithla hotel in honor of Governor Mar tin, who holds the office of honor ary president of the Shakespear ean association. Tickets are now on sale at the Chamber of Com merce office and at the hotel for this affair which is sponsored by the Ashland Chamber of Com merce, and at which attendance will be limited, according to Frank J. Van Dyke, chamber president. Because of illness during early part of the week, Governor Mar tin Wednesday cancelled his trip to southern Oregon but, following a lengthy phone call from Wal- Iter Leverette, who impressed him with importance of his attendance to success of the festival of which 1 he is a firm supporter, he finally ' agreed to come but stipulated that ■ the banquet-party be strictly in- i formal. His wish will be granted and guests will devote the main part of their time to sampling the culinary wizardry of Chef Ded- rick Williamson. Governor Martin, Johnny Gruelle, author of the "Raggedy Ann” series, and Bradley Paige and Eddie Nugent, visiting mo tion picture actors, will be pre sented to the audience at the "Twelfth Night" showing tonight, it is planned. Starring tonight will be Di rector Angus Bowmer in the role of Sir Toby Belch, John Barker as Sir Anthony Ague cheek, George Francis Smith as Malvolio, Bob Stedman as Feste, and Dorothy Pruitt as Olivia, roles they have held throughout the three years during which the festival has been a major attraction in Ashland. Last night's performance wound up the season’s showing of "Romeo and Juliet” with talented T. Ar nold Baughn and Kitty Ingle fill ing the title roles. For the final night, Saturday, there will be a repeat performance of Monday’s play, the comedy "Taming of the Shrew.” in which Roberta Nourse cast aside her na tural personality and lived the part of Katharina, the shrew, and Bob Stedman carried his audience throughout with his Interpretation of Petruchio, her suitor and con queror. For the duration of the festival players have thrilled an audience consisting of drama lovers from Washington, Idaho, California, Montana and Iowa, as well as from every part of Oregon. Coming in for a lion's share of praise was the work of Lois Bowmer, wife of the director, who apparently has waved a magic wand over many yards of material to produce an ab solutely authentic and very spectacular costuming and scenic background for the works of the Bard of Avon.
