Agent Ed Duff of Daytona Beach examined metal "de railing clamps" 18 inches long, which were discovered attached to the track north of here by a passerby. The attempt apparently was aimed at a train run by super visory personnel dim to pass over the spot about 9 p.m. Tuesday. The clamps were found at 8:30 p.m. The first attempt in the 9 week strike occurred several weeks ago and failed when derailing equipment flew off the track as a train ran over it near North Miami. In St. Augustine, FEC Vice President W. L. Thornton said both attempts were being in vestigated by the FBI.

He gave the first performance of Mark Twain's American classic sto ry, "Huckleberry Finn," last night at Southern Oregon col lege and the large audience thoroughly enjoyed it from the first words to the last. The characters of Tom Saw yer and Huckleberry Finn, the essence of boyhood who came from the brain of that master writer of stories, Mark Twain, are first-rate material for Mr. Hanson. As usual, he plays all the characters. He creates not only the laconic and slow-talking Huck, but the excitable and imaginative Tom, the runaway black slave, Jim, Pap, Huck's shiftless fa ther, and the "King" and the "Duke," the two uninvited ad venturers who join Huck and Jim on their raft trip down the river. Makas Them Initialling One cannot forget either the women, the "the widder" and Aunt Polly and Aunt Sarah who attempt, with little suc cess, to civilize Huck. The actor makes these as interest, ing and believable as the boys and the men. There was a continual ac companiment from the audi ence of small and large bursts of laughter, chuckles and ex clamations. There Is much wonderful, homey humor In this program, and for those who read the Twain books as young people and have not opened their pages since, there was a distinct taste of nostal gia. ' Last night Mr. Hanson did not use the little harp which he sometimes plays to create atmosphere and mood, but he did sing, with good effect. One is a song, "Lonesome River" which the actor conv posed himself and which Jim sings. First Parlormanca Since this was the first per formance of "Huckleberry Finn" it was somewhat rough in spots, and the characterize tions are not as bright and sharp as they will be after Mr. Hanson has polished them during subsequent rehearsals and presentations.

When it is written that Mr. Hanson gives one-man shows, this is precisely true. He reads and re-reads the books and plays, chooses which ma terial he will use, and adapts it. He is tn a sense author, director, player and com poser. One cannot but be impress ed with the brain which stores all these characteriza tions. With the addition of Huckleberry Finn" Mr. Han son now has a repertory of 183 characters in seven shows. He also carries in his memory 30 complete Shakcspear e a n roles. Added Importance Added importance was giv en to last night's performance because it was the annual in ternational obser v a n c e of World Theater day. In Paris, last night, The Theater des Nations opened the Interna tional Theater Festival with a gala performance. On that stage and on stages around the world a statement by Ar thur Miller, American play wright, was read, and Mr. Hanson opened his program with it last night. It reads: "It is a good thing that the drama above all other forms of c o m m unication through art, should be the chosen in strument. (The reference is to the selection of this art form by a United Nations commit tee.) For on the stage man must act, and against a background of human values. In our time, when futility has overwhelm ed the spirit, when a deathly inaction threatens the heart, it is good that we possess a form whose very existence demands action . . . Perhaps the time Is near for the the atre of will, the drama whose root is that ever so slight free dom which has nevertheless set man's wonders on the earth, placed his hand upon the stars, and called us to gether in this and so many other cities to share a hope for man. -u.s.
