Boom In Culture Is Underway In Nation

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — It is difficult to convince young actors, singers and dancers that there has been a cultural explosion in the United States because an overwhelming number of them can’t get jobs. The field of the arts is so overcrowded that the U.S. Labor Department urges young people to read its reference guide on the subject before choosing their careers. Having talent is not enough. You have to have luck, too. George London, the noted operatic singer, says he became so discouraged about his prospects in the United States that he went to Europe and within a week was hired by the Vienna State Opera. “Since then,” he added, “close to 200 American singers have been engaged by European opera houses. They were forced to go abroad because they lacked opportunities in their own country.” Acting Jobs Scarce There are about 6.000 members

of Actors Equity union seeking jobs on the Broadway stage. No I more than 750 of them find engagements each year and unless they are in a hit they can be out of a job within a week“The modern dance field is a terribly overcrowded profession,” says Miriam Rosen, instructor at the University of Maryland. “In New York you can throw a penny up in the air anywhere and hit ten dancers. Your only hope is to be in the right place at the right time and from then on it’s luck.” More books are being published than ever before and the paper backs have opened up a wide field, but the odds against an unknown writer making a living at his profession are almost prohibitive. To attain the best seller lists he must sell 70,000 copies and the law of averages dictates his book will not sell 1,000. Worse For Poets Poets are in even a worse position than writers of books. Robert Frost worked as a cobbler, farmer and school teacher. Wil-

liam Carlos Williams practiced medicine in Rutherford, N.J., to earn a living. Cassius Marcellus Clay has the right idea. A poet must have a sideline. There are about 6,000 plays registered in the Copyright Bureau here each year. The measure of the long odds against the playwright is that this season only 50 plays were produced on Broadway. Prices Too High “The Broadway theater has been pricing itself out of existence,” says Jack Gaver, UPI dramatic critic. “It’s $9 to $lO for musicals and $6.90 for dramas and $7.50 on weekends. It hasn’t the slightest thing to do with culture. “But there has been a great theater - mindedness growing throughout the country. If theater culture is to mean anything, it will have to be at this community and regional level. The University of Michigan has a resident company of prominent New York actors in repertory- Minneapolis will open a new theater in May, headed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, and with such stars as Hume Cron y n, Jessica Tandy and George Grizzard. The Miller Theater repertory project in Milwaukee has been hiring Broadway name players. “Houston, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles and many others are hotbeds of cul-

tural theater activity. The conclry circuit has become a big thing for well known actors—women’s clubs, universities etc. The actors give readings of plays or literature or simply talk about their own careers or the theater.” Sponsors Are Few There are not many individuals in the United States willing to sponsor the arts, but the fcig foundations have contributed generously. The Ford Foundation has been especially active in supporting theater projects and last year distributed $6.1 million to theater companies in New York, San Francisco, Stratford, Conn., Washington, D.C., Milwauke, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Attempts to get the federal government to support cultural activities have been under way for more than a decade without success. Sen. Jacob Javits, R-N.Y., introduced bills in 1949 for support of theater, ballet and opera and he still is trying. His present bill calls for a National Arts Foundation which would spend $5 million the first year and $lO million each year thereafter. Persons seeking federal aid tor the arts say there is a massive indifference and even resentment against them in Congress. Next: Jackie Kennedy takes command.

Wheat Certificate Program Opposed ROCKFORD, 111. (UPI) — The president of the American Farm Bureau Federation said Tuesday night adoption of the wheat certificate in the national referendum May 21 “would be a signal for the federal government to move in and impose similar controls on all of agriculture.” Charles B. Shuman, speaking at a public forum sponsored by the Rockford Chamber of Commerce, said President Kennedy’s tax program and the referendum will materially affect America’s economy. “If Congress accepts President Kennedy’s recommendation for a general tax cut without taking any effective action to reduce government spending,” Shuman said, “we can expect renewed inflationary pressures, and a growing loss of confidence within the business community.” “Both the wheat certificate plan and the inflationary tax proposal are products of politically motivated thinking rather than decisions based on economics,” Shuman said. “Both have a common origin in the philosophy of a government-managed economy.” He said the wheat certificate plan revolves around a rejection of the market price system as a means' of guiding production and use, and substitution of government supply - management with controls and price fixing.” He said under the plan the secretary of agriculture would have “unprecedented authority” to control nearly all aspects of wheat pricing and production “from the farm to the miller ” “But of even greater significance,” he said, “adoption of the wheat certificate plan would be a signal for the federal government to move in and impose similar controls on all of agriculture. “This is the published, documented objective of the secretary of agriculture and his economic advisers,” Shuman said.
