Sgt. York Said
In Good Condition
Nashville, Tenn.-flJPD-World
War I hero Sgt. Alvin C. York,
ailing with chest pains, was
listed in "very good condi
tion" today in St. Thomas
hospital.
Dr. Jack Witherspoon said
York, 75, is suffering a con
tusion of the chest and "trau
matic pleurisy" probably in
curred when York rolled off
his bed at his home last week.
York's wife accompanied
him Wednesday in an ambu
lance from his home in Pall
Mall, Tenn., near the Ken
tucky border, to the hospital.
Witherspoon said York's
condition is much better than
it was last summer when he
was hospitalized for continued
internal bleeding.
York won the Congressional
Medal of Honor for leading a
suicide mission that killed 25
German machine gunners and
captured 132 others includ
ing the enemy battalion com
mander, during the Allies' fi
nal push in October, 1918.
FBI Probes Train
Derailment Try
New Smyrna Beach, Fla.-
(uTII-The FBI today Investigat
ed a second attempt to derail
train of the strikebound
Florida East Coast Railway
that was found less than an
hour before the target arrived
on the spot.
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.
The 1,200 members of 11
non-operating railway unions
walked out on the FEC Jan.

One-Man
Received
Philip Hanson added anoth
er one-man show to his reper
tory last night, and another
star to the dramatic crown he
has earned as an outstanding
teller of stories. 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. We have
little doubt that wherever
and whenever this program is
imagine a Buick

Show Well
by People
given, audiences will love it.
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.
