"Hasty Heart' Cass
By BILL BOWICK
If traveling - increases 1 per
son’s knowledge of a foreign peo
pie’s actions and habits, the cast
of “The Hasty Heart”, the next
University Theater’s production,
shculd be well versed upon every
race, color, and creed of people.
The 'cast of this rip-roaring
three act comedy-tragedy is com
posed entirely of veterans who
have traveled the world more
than Mrs. Roosevelt, and are well
oriented on every foreign group
oi people from the black African
to the yellow Japanese.
' Thus this cosmopolitan know
lecge by the cast is helping Ed
ward Crouse to an easier direction
assignment as he puts the all-
GI cast through their paces as|
they portray foreign facsimiles of |
our own American Gl’s. '
The story takes place in an En
glish field hospital just behind thet
fighiting lines. Recuperating in the'
bamboo rest center are ‘al] types |
of soldiers, English, Australian,
South . African, Scotch, and one
American from Georgia. And the
velerans portraying this varied'
grcup have jumped into their|
parts with the one idea of “liv
ing” their parts as they saw the
people live, not by “acting” the
parts. g !
Bob Brett, who is playing the

Weter Ordinance
d n! ’o oo
Amendment s
Mayor Bob McWhorter an
nounced today he has vetoed: an
amendment to the Parking Meter
Ordinance which would set up a
special fund for the city’s share
of receipts from the operation of
meters. g
The Mayor stated that the
amendment would “freeze” the
cxty’§ share of. the parking metet
receipts and prevent the money
from being used for cily im
provements. i
_The city has contracted to ob
tain meters sufficient to place on
Clayton street and College ave
nue and in the original ordinance
provided that ‘the receipts would
be used for general revenue. The
ordinance also stated that the
meters are designéd to contrul
traffic.
A group of businessmen is op
posing installation of the meters
in court and one of the conten
tions of the plaintiffs is that the
meters would put the City of
Athens in the parking business
for revenue in violation of the
law.
Test of Veto
In his veto of the amendment
to the ordinance, Mayor Mec-
Whorter declared:
“I hereby veto the ordinance
passed by the City Council on
May 8, 1946, amending the Park
ing Meter Ordinance passed by
{Council on April 10, 1946.
“I disapprove of the amending
' ordinance for the followjng rea
sons: :
' “1. The ordinance ‘freezes’ the
anticipated revenue to be receiv
ed by the city from the operation
of parking meters to such an ex
tent that said revenue cannot be
used for any city improvements,
such as streets, water mains,
i sewers, etc. : »
«9 Tt should not require all of
the said revenue for the main
‘tenance, supervision, etc., of the
parking meters. The revenue to
be received by the city from the
operation of parking meters, ac
}cording to the facts, should be
several thousand dollars per year,
and I think it unwise to place
this amount of money in a spec
jal fund to be used only for the
maintenance, etc., of the parking
metess, when the representative
of the Duncan Meter Corporatiot.
stated that the upkeep of each
‘meter was only a very small sum
per year.”
Judge Clifford Pratt has agreed
to preside over the trial of the
case filed against the Mayor and
Council of Athens by the plain
tiffs through their attorney, John
L. Green. Erwin, Nix and Birch

Davis represent the defendants.
The date of the hearing before

Rivers and Carmichael dealt only

Rivers called . Carmichael “the

Talmadge made his main ap

WASHINGTON, May 14— (AP) —The likelihood of renewed ra
tioning for famine relief in the near future took a sharp drop today,
with former President Hoover counseling against action on the sub
ject wntil the world harvests this year's crops.
Back from a global survey of’
hungry nations, Hoover said he
thought it too early for a decis
ion on rationing, because he had
hcpes the world’s food production
wil] be better than anticipated,
’with a consequent lessening of the
famine emergency. g
The survey report which 'Hoo
'ver brought back with him drew
warm approval from President
Truman and Secretary of Agri
culture Clinton P. Anderson—A
fact which influenced feod experts
in reaching their conclusion that
rationing would keep out of the
picure at least for the present.
These experts, who would not
be quoted directly, were of the
opinion that the country’s famine
relief efort - until harvest will
continue to be confined to volun
;tar_v food conservation and gov
ernment restrictions on grain
use.

BOWLES ASKS RATIONING
IF SITUATION TIGHTENS
WASHINGTON, May 14 —
(AP)—Stabilization Director.
Chester Bowles said today he
will recommend restoration
of food rationing if the world
food situation ‘“gets tighter.”
Bowles made this statement
a day after former President
lerbert Hoover counselled
against such action until this
year’s crops are harvested.
I don’t think the situation
is tight enough now,” Bowles
told a news conference, “But
it it gets tighter I think we
sbould put it (rationing) on.”
to contentions of both Mr. Tru
man and Anderson that rationing
is not necessary to meet foreign
food needs during the present em
ergency, which, in Hoover’s esti
mate, will cease for the year
about September 1.
Hoover stated that he believed
vo'untary food conservation meas
ures, Wf effectively laid before
consumers, could save more food
than coupon rationing. 2
The former President, who soon
wil go to oSuh America to seek
greater relief aid from counries
there, is expected to insist that
more steam be put behind the
