Moscow radio says, and has hand

“The Man Who Came To Dinner” At Fine Arts Tonight
ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
1 ‘Senators voted 64 to 20 yester-
Iday to hold the next fiscal bud
get to $33,000,000,000, or $4,500,-
000,000 below President Trumaii's
recommended allowance of $37,-
500,000,000.
Two weeks ago the House ap
proved a $6,000,000,000 slash in
the President’s budget. :
Speaker Martin of the House
said in a statement the House does
not intend to back up—that the
budget can be trimmed $6,000,-
000,000 ‘“without endangering Na
tional Defense or security or
lsacrificing other essential ser
vices.”
Chairman Guriney (R-SD) of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee replied that “all my informa
tion is that we cannot cut the bud
get $6,000,000,000,” that the House
reduction would slash Army-
Navy funds and “it does not seem
to me that we can safely cut the
funds for the Army and Navy.”
Conference Group
If the House rejects the Senate
version, as appears likely, the
matter will go to a 20-man Con
ference Committee.
Secretary of State Marshall and
his predecessor in office, James
Byrnes, went toc Capitol Hill to
review the Balkan situation before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. ’
Marshall, departing tomorrow
for the Foreign Ministers confer
ence in Moscow, planned only a
brief statement, leaving to Byrnes
the detiled explanation of the
peace treaties with Italy, Romania,
Bulgaria. and Hungary which the
Senate is to consider. :
Meanwhile Senator Pepper (D-
Fla) proposed that the critical
Greek situation be submitted to
the' Nnited Nations, ‘contending
that any U. S. decision to bolster
British policy in Greece might be
interpreted as an “imperialistic
move” directed against Russia.
As the Senate Atomic Energy
Committee moved to wind up its
lengthy hearing on President Tru
man’s nominees for the Atomic
Energy Commission, a member
predicted not more than one vote
on the committee would be cast
against confirmation of David E.
Lilienthal as commission chair
man. The committee plan was to
end its hearing at noon. Chairman
Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) said the
committee probably will vote to
morrow or Thursday.
" ‘Both the House and Senate T.a
bor Committees resumed their
hearings on pending labor bills.
Picture Witness
Eric Johnston, president of the
Motion Picture Association, was
the day's first witness before the
House Committee.
The Senate Commitiee, opening
its final week of hearings on gen
eral labor legislation, had Edward
A. O’Neal, president of the Amer
jcan Farm Bureau Federation, to
start the day’s testimony.
Senator Morse (R-Ore), mem
ber of the Senate group, told a re
porter he plans to introduce a bill
Friday calling for extensive re
vision of the Wagner act as his
plan for ironing out labor-man
agement troubles.
The House group heard from

otate oenate Approves Outlawing
Ut Closed Shop Auz-Uues Checkoft
HOUSE MEASURES
PASSED WITH
UNANIMUUS VOTE
ATLANTA, March 4.—
(AP)—The Georgia Senate
enacted today. by unani
mous votes two house bills
to curb union activity by
vutlawing the closed shop
and involuntary dues check
off and prohibiting mass
picketing. -~ ;
There was only brief discussion
of the measures as they sailed
through the Senate.
By a vote of 35 to 0 the cham~
ber gave final approval to Legis
lation to bar the closed shop and
involuntary dues checkoff. The
prohibition against picketing of
more than two persons was adopt
ed by a count of 40 to 0.
The Senate enacted the House
labor curbs while identical Senate
measures were pending before the
House Relations Committee.
In brief remarks, Sen. R. G.
Daniell of Metter was mildly cri
tical of the House Committee. He
said it recommended by a vote of
12 to 7 that the House bills be
killed.
Despite this unfavorable action,
Daniell continued, the House pass
ed one of the measures 157 to 28.
Unusual Situatign §
“This makes a rather unusual
situation as far as this committee
is concerned,” Daniell commented.
“Therefore I think we ought to
go ahead and pass the House bill
instead of waiting for ours to get
through that House Committee.”
Daniell criticized what he said
were press and radio descriptions
of the measures as anti-labor.
“That is wrong,” he asserted,
“they are just as much pro-labor
as they are anti-labor. Let’s quit
calling them anti-labor.”
Sen. Vendie H. Hooks of Lexsy.
a Baptist ministér, = speaking
briefly for the bills that all“‘they
did was to “keep labor leaders
from working a racket by charging
people for the right to work.”

of Palestine’s 600,000 Jews, but
there was no official confirmation
of these attacks.
At the same time, MacMillian
issued an order banning the word
“Perrorist” from the Army voca
bulary because, he said, “the name
now has acquired a certain gla
mor and the men so described are
in a position comparable with Chi
cago gangsters.”
“In other words,” he declared,
“through the. constant use of this
term to describe them, criminals
who were members of the Stern
gang and Irgun Zvai. Leumi now
regard themselves as a special
class of people, invested with
special attributes.”
The Palestine government,
meanwhile, released an official
statement declaring that 21,000
Jewish immigrants “over and
above” the quota of 75,000, fixed
in the 1939 White Paper, had been
admitted to Palestine. #” :

By BILL BURSON
The players of the University
Theatre make a bid tonight for
their third hit of the 1946-47
stage season when they raise the
curtain on a three-day run of
Kaufman and -~ Hart’s hilarious
farce, “The Man Who Came to
Dinner” at 8:30 in the Fine Arts
Auditorium.
With Oliver Land, Athens, the
Theatre’s character actor par ex
cellence, in the lead role as “The
IMdm," or Sheridan Whiteside by
,name, and beauties Martha
Thompson, Fort Benning, and
fSuzanne Johnson, Atlanta, in the
respective parts ‘of Maggie Cut
ler, secretary to the irascible
’Whitcside, and Lorraine Sheldon,
ivivacious actress, the production,
says Leighton Ballew,} Theatre
‘director and head of the Drama
'Department, “promises to be the
funniest éveér presented on the
University of Georgia campus.”
Many strange and unusual
props have been constructed for
the presentation. The ‘play calls
for mummy - cases, penguin boxes,
“Roach” cities, and a set to ac
commodate over thirty people at
one time. This mammoth task
has been accomplished despite the
fact that most of the stage crew
are in the cast, the largest cne
ever seen on the stage of the
Fine Arts Auditorium.
Broadway Hit :
“The Man Who Came to Din
ner” ran for over three years on
Broadway, and was made into a
movie by Monty Wooly, the man
who created the role of White
side en Broadway. Termed “Am
erica’s most amusing and enjoy
able farce,” ‘it is the story of
Whiteside and his staying for
months at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley in Mesa
lia, Ohio. The time of the play is
Christmas but* there is little
Christmas “spirit” in the cold
heart of Whiteside who shouts,
