At last reports, only scattered Nazi rear guards remained in the town, one of the main supply and eommnni- - cations points for the central secI tor of the Siegfried line. Between the Canadian and L .8. third army fronts, the battle for the Roer dams lulled momentarily following the Germans' partial success in blowing up the < Schwamnianeul dam floodgates. For more than 20 miles north- ; ward the Roer had overflowed its banks, pinning the waiting Amer ican ninth and British second | armies to their positions on the 1 west side of the river north and | south of Aachen.

BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM - ii.w-fv-t-Ml by Kia« Features, lac-

NEW YORK.—It may be that you can pave hell with good in- 1 tentions, but the paving stones 1 ■ won't serve if you’re going to | ; make a play about it Frequently < i the playwright puts himself and ’ his audiences to sleep by building ; a block house and wakes up only t to find that he lias talked his I play to death without really get- i ting anyone exated about the i ; goodness of his intentions. That’s i i what happened to William j McCleery when he wrote "Hope for the Best,” a comedy which Jean Dalrymple and Marc Connelly unveiled at the Fulton the other night. Mr. McCleery chose a news- i paper columnist as the medium for his political thesis, and that, undoubtedly, was the first mistake he made. If the political columnist is a good one, he lives a dull and uninteresting life and i more than likely is as dull and ; uninteresting in his extra-politt-cal manifestations. If he's a bad i one he’s not even good material for farce. Well, “Hope for the Best” is the story of a columnist I who has been filling the heads of

— — eleven million readers with ap- 1 j propriate sweetness and light for i years. They love him because i he writes like one of them, writes the things they all think and feel about the things that aren't poi litically or economically signifii cant. But the columnist’s brother, an air force sergeant, comes a-visit-in’, brings a pretty ex-reporter who works in a war plant and is as politically conscious as could be, for the week-end, and the i columnist suddenly finds himself in possession of a full-fledged and I vociferous political consciousness which won’t let him write the stuff and fluff he had always written. So he breaks with the i female political columnist he is about to marry and walks down the garden path with the p&ttjP war worker, his arm around her w aist and his brain teeming with significant and politically preI' ' vocative columns.

Urges Cooperation > In World Finances t FDR Sends Special Message To Congress Washington, Feb. 12 —(UP) — President Roosevelt today asked congress to launch this country on a new era of international financial cooperation. He said it would spell the difference between a peaceable world and economic warfare leading to another world war. He sent Special message asking congress to enact legislation necessary for the United States to participate in the proposed 000,000,000 international stabilization fund and the $3,100,000,<)00 reconstruction bank. Establishment of these huge international financial organizations was recommended by last summer's international monetary conference at Bretton Woods, N. H. "In a nutshell," the president said, "the fund agreement spells the difference between a world caught again in the maelstrom of panic and economic warfare culminating in war —as in the 1930's —or a world in which the mem--1 bers strive for a better life j through mutual trust, cooperation, and assistance. “The choice is ours.” Mr. Roosevelt also toid congress that other economic measures will have to be dealt with in the near future He cited the reduction of trade barriers by international agreement: repeal of the Johnson act which prohibits loans to foreign countries that are in default on their-debts; control of cartels and the ordeWy marketing of world surpluses; revision of the export-import bank set-up, and broadening and strengthening of the trade agreements act. There has been considerable opposition to the bank and fund both in this country and in Great Britain, especially from such banking sources as the American Bankers Association. A heated battle is expected in congress over Mr. Roosevelt's request for enabling legislation. 0 — ASSEMBLY IN FINAL w tContinu (1 From Page One) made. ' Social security committees in both houses found that opposition to public welfare legislation bad not been dissolved by ths relaxation of their demands for sweeping reforms in the welfare program. The Indiana congress of parents and teachers rapped five pending measures and endorsed 12 others. Protests centered around bills to make court wards of illegitimate children, to transfer licensing authority with regard to maternity homes and foster homes from the welfare department to the state health board, and to amend the merit system.

Well, friends, the trouble with the play is that nothing quite I hanpens, and that what is supposed to happen is of such little consequence that you begin to wonder before the end of the first act if you should bother, under the circumstances, to register next October. Where the tiresome and jejeune political ideas of the columnist are not ciscussed, the play is fairly well written. Doro Merande as Mrs. Bassett, the housekeeper, is as funny as Doro Merande always is, with wholehearted assistance from Mr. McCleery. Miss Joan Wetmore as the lady political commentator is about as convincing a character as the play was able to produce, and Miss Wetmore turns in the most believable job of the evening. Franchot Tone, as the columnist, contributes no little to the dullness of the role, and Miss Jane Wyatt, whose mother once said that a corset gives you a shape and God gave you your body, goes all out for reform in the role of the war worker. As we said, Mr. McCleery’s in-

tentions ate good, his political conclusions, though clad in elementary garments, are laudable, but he has chosen the wrong medium for their expression. They don't come through on the stage. Another of last week’s offerings was a new comedy by Vincent Lawrence called “The Overtons,” in which Miss Arlene Francis and Jack Whiting are an incredible couple married eight and a half years and dreadfully in love with each other. Miss Glenda Farrell is dreadfully in love with Mr. Whiting, Mr. Walter Greaza is dreadfully in love with Miss Farrell, and the whole thing is dreadfully staged by Miss Elisabeth Bergner. It’s a pretty dreadful play. Why Miss Bergner had to move out of the Booth Theatre with “The Two Mrs. Carrolls” to shuttle “The Oyjblms’’ onto its stage is one 9i the mysteries of Broadway.
