DRIGRLE SBSDY PROPOSAL READY Commerce Officials to Sub- mit Plan to New Maritime Commission. By the Assoctated Press. Commerce Department officials dis- | closed yesterday they willsubmitto the new Maritime Commission & proposal for a Government-subsidized trans- Atlantic dirigible service. The commission, which will admin- ister the ship subsidy law passed by the last Congress, is expected to be| appointed by President Roosevelt within a few days. Technical studies already haye been | made by the Commerce Department | into suggestions for Government sub- sidies to a privately-operated trans- Atlantic dirigible service, officials said. Under the ship subsidy law, | they added, the commission will have | ample authority to deal with this| question and the Commerce Depart- ment thus will hand it over to the| new agency. Originally proposed by a commit- tee of the Business Advisory Council, the plan for a transoceanic lighter- than-air line called attention to Ger- | many’s success with this type of craft | and urged “immediate action” to make possible Government subsidies. The committee's report expressed confidence that necessary privatz‘ capital would be forthcoming if the | Government would provide an “ade- | quate subsidy” to enable American builders and operators to carry it out. | Intensified activity by the Navy in developing lighter-than-air craft also | was suggested, and the report added that commercially-operated dirigibles could be quickly converted to mili-| tary use in a national emergency. A Government subsidy program, | coupled with private investment, it was said, would take dirigibles “out of the | toy class” and give this Nation a new vehicle for world trade. The Maritime Commission will de- | termine and grant subsidies to oper-| ators of water-borne craft to enable | them to meet foreign competition, and | Commerce Department officials said it is empowered to decide what, if any, aid should be given aircraft. If the commission approved the diri- | gible proposal, it could recommend to | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Actors Profit With Production After Private Managers Fail By the Associated Press. LONDON, September 18.—A White- hall Theater record of more than 300 performances has been established by the play “Anthony and Anna,” suc- cessfully presented by its actor-owners after fallure under private manage- ment. The drama, by St. Johr: Ervine, was playing at a loss of $750 weekly last December. The cast decided to work for half-pay so that the play could continue. J. P. Mitchelhill, the manager, re- fused the offer. Instead he told the players, “I'll give you the play.” All contracts were abolished and a co-operative charter drawn up by the cast. The theater has since taken in from $3,500 to $5,000 & week and still plays daily to a large audience. Understudies have been paid full salaries and a sur- plus has been divided up after pay- ment of the author's royalties. “Actually,” sald Harold Warrender, | who plays Anthony, “the takings have been such that we have not only re- celved our full salaries from the be- ginning, but we have an additional ‘kitty’ to the value of nearly four weeks' extra salary.” PICKET SYNAGOGUE Giils Claim Employers Forced Girls to Work on Holiday. NEW YORK, September 18 (#).— Two representatives of the Depart- ment Store Employes’ Union picketed a Fifth Avenue synagogue during Jewish New Year services yesterday bearing signs stating, “Mr. Ohrbach worships here but forces his employes to work on Jewish holidays.” The union said the sign referred to Nathan N.
