night audience, surprisingly
large for tile night bcfoiV a

the production and the launfis
and the applause were iuite

The improbable but imagin
ative plot concerns the re
moval of a convent, building
and contents, from cold Indi

bewildered nuns some time

and who caused the "miracle"
and after that the comedy
moves on through various
complications, some
quite I
amusing.
Somewhat Irreverent
Possibly there are those
who find the plot and lines
samcwhal irreverent, but Di
rector Frank Buchter has had
I he cooperation of the Sisters
of Sacred Heart Catholic
church in staging the play,
and at least one Catholic
woman in the audience last
night said she was enjoying
it very much.

some remarks that "St Joseph
had his housing problems,

says with his eyes cast heaven

Annice Black gives an
ebullient performance as Sis
ter Columba who has asked
St. Joseph to move the con
vent from Indiana to Nevada
because she thinks her arth

is). Sharing honors with her
for making the play come

Sorting Out Vjni
It totfk this playgeor a little
time to sort out the nuns.
With M;ven women all wear
ing while robes and bright
blue bvaddrcsscs- very effec
tive on stake-it Is a bit con
fusing until the personalities
begin to emerge. Jerry Jerome
Vives a smooth performance
as the dignified Sister Foli
eitas, who .seems to outrank
the olhcr nuns and the re
maining Sisters arc played by
Sally Broadwater, Jaci Mul
ler, Helen Ashley, Charlene
Tarvin and Frances Dempster.
Three show girls who de
cide to become nuns are a
bright spot in the production.
Played by Leona Flagg, Mari
lyn Grewell and Pe ggy Lewel
lyn, the three call at the con
vent because they want to
see what a real live Catholic
Sister looks like, and return
later to see if they can join
the .sisterhood.
The east is completed by
Mary Bra Jenkins, Franklin
Messenger and Chuck Tuck
er. Director Frank Buchter and
Lawrence Ware designed a
plain, stylized set which they
believe is more effective as
a fort for dramatic action than
a "photographic" set, and they
are probably correct in their
thinking.
The play will continue to
night through Saturday, wi'h
curtain time each night at 8:30
p.m. Punch, coffee and cookies
are served at intermission.

Beverly Hills, Calif. - tl'PD -Tens
of thousands of Ameri
cans willing to go abroad to
assist underdeveloped nations
remold their societies into
chiefly socialistic economics
arc needed today to defeat
the Communists, according to
Supreme Court Justice Wil
liam O. Douglas.
In a speech before the Earl
Warren Institute of Ethics and
Human Relations of the Uni
versity of Judaism, Douglas
said that by relying on the
military to control Commu
nism we will deliver much of
the world to the Communists.
"The influence of the Pen
tagon abroad is destructive of
the democratic ideal," Doug
las said. "It has almost always
been identified with kings or
feudal overloads whose pre
tences of reform have been
hollow."
Douglas said a strong in
ternal police force is neces
sary in any nation, especially
in fragile countries.
"But arming the feudal
overlords in the manner we
have done is something else,"
he said. "Asia, Africa, and
Latin America have never
known democracy or liberty
or freedom ... a few men or
a few families own the coun
try; the rest are serfs. There
are few of any schools; few if
any doctors; few if any oppor
tunities to escape the slavery
of ignorance, illteracy and
disease.
No Message of Hope
"Tiie jeeps of the Pentagon
that roar through those vil
lages bring no message of
hope . . .
"Due largely to the Penta
gon influence our heroes
seem to be the dictators. That
is one reason why the tides
of history are running against
us."
Douglas said that despite
what the Pentagon says, the
feudal societies will fall. He
said peoples overseas are be
ginning to be heard and they
realize that hunger, disease,
illiteracy, exploitation and
misgovernment are their ene
mies. "The peoples of the world
are going to be done with
them," he said. "Revolution
after revolution is going to be
launched. Are we to credit
every revolution to the Com
munists? Is every overseas re
former to be suspect?"
The Justice said our prob
lem is not to quell the revolu
tionaries but to supply and
support democratic cadres to
direct the reforms.
Medical Schools Needed
"We must have brigades of
doctors and nurses overseas
to help establish medical
schools, nurse training
schools, first-aid centers, and
hospitals," Douglas said.
"Tens of thousands are need
ed at the agricultural level.
Engineers and business man
agers are also needed."
Douglas said it was a chal
lenge to see if Americans,
who practice discrimination
at home, can be evangelists
of equality abroad.
"Are we sufficiently toler
ant to permit our people and
our aid to construct socialist
societies in other nations?" he
asked. "Can we make 'revo- j
lution' a respectable word or
have we given the Commu
nists a monopoly on it?"
Douglas .said the guiding of
new nations required a great
flexibility in political and 1
economic patterns.
"An attempt to remake a ;
nation in the image of Amer
ica might well be disastrous." j
he said. "For what was need
ed for the genius of our peo- !
pie might he ill-suited for
others."
On the domestic scene, i

"We are passing through

Douglas said newspapers
carried little on domestic and
on-ign ls.sues.
"They want readers and ad
vertisers; and so tliry raler

said
The Justice said that this
country was losing Its "free"

Service Officers
Have Information
On Vets' Benefits
White City - Although the
Veterans Administration
maintains facilities to broad
cast general information con
cerning veteran benefits, con
tact must be made with au
thorized representatives to ex
plain the law and VA rcgu
tions, according to S. T. Bran
nock, contact officer at the
VA Domiciliary.
Service officers of the vari-
i ous veteran organizations pro
vide such information regard
ing claims and rights under
I the various veteran laws, in
i addition to the official agen
i cies established by the VA
and the county.
Elmer Donahoo, with of
fices in the Jackson county
court house, is the service offi
cer for the county. He is avail
able at flic domiciilary on the
first and third Fridays each
month.
Brannock, as VA contact
officer, has offices in the
White City post office build
ing. He is available for vet
erans at the domiciliary as
well as outside. The office
was moved to White City in
January, IS59.
' Four out of five veterans
living at the domiciliary now
receive pension or compensa
tion, according to registration
figures. Brannock is available
to inform the noncompensated
veterans of their rights in ad
dition to explaining the tech
nicalities and conditions in
the various laws governing
eligibility and payments.
A recent change in the law
affecting GI home loans en
ables some World War II vet
erans to pick up their loans
beyond the date when their
entitlement expires July 25,
Brannock noted. One year ad
ditional is allowed beyond
the 10 years from date of dis
charge, for each three months
of war time service.
