LAW QUESTONE Right of Colored -Citizens to, Vote Made Issue in Test Action. {By the Associated Press. EL PASO, Texas, May 21.—The val- idity of a State law empowering poli- tical partles to prescribe the qualifica- tions of primary election voters, thus barring colored voters if desired, is ques- tioned in_a suit filed here by L.

In certain quarters there prevails a belief that a stock company, seen once. has nothing more to offer. The Na- tional Theater Players are knocking this fossiliferous old fallacy higher than | Ben Franklin's kite ever soared. Steve | Cochran's players have the knack of | perpetual freshness. They are like old neighbors whose antics are a source of never-dying interest to those of us who live next door. The presence of fa- miliar faces in the audience week after week is all the proof that's needed. “Pigs” is a comedy pure and simple. | The story deals with an evervday fam- |ily in Indiana faced with the loss of | their home by a_mortgage foreclosure | The vounger son finally saves the situa- tion by a fortunate venture in pigs.

By the Associated Press. | LYON, France, May 21—Edouard | Herriot has been re-elected as mayor | of Lyon, despite his announcement of | intention to retire and defeat of his | Radlcal party at the polls. At a stormy meeting of the municipal council yesterday he received only 23 votes out of 57, the Socialist candidate getting 27—not & majority—and the Moderate candidate 7. The Socialists, out of pique, cast blank votes on the | second ballot. M. Herriot, as chairman, immediately declared himself elected and replied to a first Socialist attack with the words they had only their own maneuvers to thank for his election.
