STUDY IN CONCENTRATION A study in concentration is presented by these four rep resentatives to the Sixth Ministerial Council meeting of the South-East Treaty Organiza tion, as they listened to one of the opening speeches in the department auditorium at Actor-Producer Labor Dispute to Snap Off Broadway's Bright Lights? New York-flJPIl- Broadway's fabled footlights are flicker ing and by tonight the world's theatrical center was expected to be in darkness because of a labor dispute between actors and producers. The lights of one show went out last night and only an eleventh-hour settlement of a bitter contract dispute today could prevent the first Broad way blackout in 41 years. Although bargaining talks were scheduled to continue today between representatives of Broadway producers nd actors, prospects for an agree ment by nightfall Wf" ex tremely poor. A union-ordered walkout of the cast of the hit comedy, "The Tenth Man," an hour before curtain time Wednes day night served as the switch that is expected to darken all 22 Broadway theaters this evening. The League of New York Theaters, which repre sents both producers and theater owners, immediately notified casts of all shows that all performances' tonight would be cancelled in reprisal against Wednesday's cast walkout. Cast Misses Show "Every play and musical in town will be out Thursday night," Alexander H. Cohen, Baptists to Consider Withdrawal From Council Rochester, N.Y.-IUPD - The American Baptist convention opens its 53rd annual meeting tonight faced with a decision on a controversial move to withdraw its 1,500,000-mem-ber denomination from the National Council of Churches. The first Baptist church of Wichita, Kans., has asked northern Baptist to withdraw from the National Council, the largest cooperative church body in America. The Kansas church delegation, which has the largest congregation , in the denomination with 4,300 members, requested the break because it feels the National Council is "too liberal". The request heads the list of items presented at pre convenlion meetings Wednes day of the General (Council, policy-making , sta.'O of the denomination.
