Playwright Works In Her Spare Time By MARK BARRON NEW YORK, Oct. 25 @—One | _ of the astounding aspects of dram- | atist Mary Chase’s career is her complete lack of any resemblance to the popular stereotype of a Broadway playwright. le — She has never pretended to be | anything more than a wife and | mother who writes plays in her | spare time. She has just come up with a other hit comedy, “Bernardine, on Broadway. And, by doing so, || she has established herself as a | Broadway institution. t At the moment ‘‘Bernardine” is playing to profitable business in |: the successful Guthrie McClintic — production at the Playhouse The- | _ atre on 48th Street just a few | steps from Broadway. In another few days another hit.by Mrs. Chase, this one the “Mrs. Mc- |. Thing” in which Helen Hayes | stars, will move into the 48th Street Theatre, right next door to | the Playhouse. It was this same 48th Street Theatre in which Mrs. Chase’s comedy, “Harvey,” played for five years on Broadway. The latter play earned a million dollars in its profitable Broadway run and it still is bringing lucrative royalties in from stock companies and trav- ling troupes in many corners of | the world. Broadway wags now refer to 48th Street as ‘Mary Chase Alley.” Now that Mrs. Chase’s ‘“Ber- | mardine” and “Mrs. McThing” are | | | hits here, another schedule has just been implemented where ‘Har- yey” is soon to be revived for an- Off To Washington Official U.S. Navy Phot: | | Jackson, CAPTAIN OLIVER A.

(—Two young but veteran campaigners, never | beaten for publie office, are locked jin a bitter fight for the only Washington State seat in the U. S. |Senate at stake in this election. The Republicans have it; the Democrats think they can get it. Big guns of both political parties have wheeled into the state to fire salvos in behalf of the candidates, The seat, held by Sen. Harry P. Cain since 1946, is sought by Henry a Democratic member of the U. S. House of Representa- tives for the last 12 years. Cain was mayor of Tacoma be- fore his election to the Senate after World War II service in Europe. President Truman, Gov. Adlai | Stevenson, Sen, Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and Sen. Paul H. Doug- las of Illinois stumped for 40-year- old Jackson during their campaign trips through the state. Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma will be here tomorrow to continue the Demo- cratic pitch for Jackson. Cain received the support of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower when he was here. Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin will be in the state tomorrow and Sens. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and Robert A. Taft of Ohio are on their way. McCarthy, whose primary elec- tion victory heartened the Cain camp, will invade Jackson’s home town of Everett to make a state- wide broadcast. Cain will intro- duce him. Cain, 46, gained national prom- inence two years ago when he successfully opposed President Truman’s nomination of former Gov. Mon C. Wallgren of Wash- ington State as chairman of the National Security Resources Board. His opponents have attempted to associate him with the “real es- tate lobby” and “power trust,” charging he takes his orders from them and other “special interest’ groups, Jackson’s advertisements have quoted Eastern publications describing Cain as one of the natior’s worst senators. Cain, in turn, has labeled Jack- son “a rubber stamp” for Presi- dent Truman and Secretary of State Acheson, asserting that he dances to their tune whenever they pull the strings. Labor leaders have gone all out fur Jackson and against Cain. Cain charged in a radio address that Ed Weston, state AFL head, has Jackson “in his pocket” and is trying to impose “thought con- trol’? on the workers of Washington State. Weston said he will answer Cain’s attack in a state-wide broad- cast Friday, Cain said labor Waders had “stacked the deck” against him Repubi:can In addition to the Legion of Mer- Harris, who is due for immedi- | it, Capt.

EXEC. COM. FUNDS” Editor, The Citizen: The star-spangled tirade which appeared in the Miami Herald a few days ago under the signature of the self-appointed-self-annoint- ed leader of the Stevenson for President Club, Mr. Gerald Saun- ders, was meant to scare the liv- ing daylights out of Senator George Smathers. The point that Mr. Saunders tried to put over is that if a man is registered as a Democrat ‘then he has surren- dered his freedom of the ballot and has no other alternative than to vote for the Democratic can- didate. He has automatically sur- rendered his freedom of thought. Mr. Saunders singled out Sena- tor Smathers but whether he is un-read and ignorant, of he is deliberately trying to mis-lead the people. The truth of the matter is that Senator Smathers, together with Senator Holland and practically all of the Florida Congressmen are doing what practically all of the other Sena- tors.and Congressmen of the Southern States are doing—they are making a solemn protest in your behalf of the Democratic party’s betrayal of the South. Don’t you realize, fellow Demo- making it difficult for them to pre- sent their views to union member- ship. To overcome what he termed “discriminatory” tactics on the part of labor leaders, Cain has been. campaigning heavily along the handshaking circuit at fac- tories, mills and small outlying communities. And he has tried, without suc- cess, to draw Jackson into a pub- lie debate on what) he terms the important issues of the campaign: “the Korean War, labor legisla- tion, anti-Communist legislation and Jackson’s voting record on spending.” He accused Jackson of “‘duck- ing” the challenge to debate. Jackson, one of the state’s most eligible bachelors, replied in an advertisement that Cain “fought our defense buildup” by voting against the 70-group Air Force and military aid to Korea and Formosa before the Communist attack. He went to Cain's hometown for a radio broadcast on what he en- titled “‘the sorry Cain record.” Jackson criticized Cain’s voting record on social security and gov- ernment reorganization and as- serted the former Tacoma mayor | has “done nothing” for the state in | leaders, i his six years a senator. crats, that if the platform of our party is carried out this time it will destroy us. : The caich is . . . how long are the people of our country going to put up with such leadership as displayed by Commissioner Saunders? Maybe it’s time to take Sena- tor Smathers’ advice and protest about corruption in government ... in the federal government, in the state government, in the state government and right here in Monroe County . ... yes, even in the Democratic executive committee where for years there has been no accounting of the funds that should be used right now to inform the people of the issues involved.
