THIS I8 THE story in front of a man. It's about a beard, mustache, grease paint and a fusion of Jeeter Lester and John Barton, star of “Tobacco Road.” After nine years as Jeeter, Mr, Barton isn't ‘quite sure who he is when he wakes up in the morning. To see Mr. Barton in street clothes is to.see a whitehaired, kindly looking gentleman with sharp blue eyes that turn soft at the slightest provocation, such as the sight of a mongrel running across Illinois st.

On the way to the English theater with Mr. Barton,™ : !

I noticed his acute sense of appreciation for the real, and unreal in what went on about him. A girl in her teens passed us wearing brilliant yellow feathers in her hair. “Ah there's nothing like growing up, is there?” Mr. Barton sald, and gave a little jump characteristic of Jeeter in the play, It's hard to imagine that he's 70. In the dressing room the character Jeeter is in evidence on clothes hangers, in grease paint tubes, and in several beard boxes, The metamorphosis hasn't taken place yet, and John Barton, the spirit of the Georgia share cropper talks freely—easily. As he remeves his brown striped suit he laughs about the 3454 turnips he has eaten on the stage. And, incidentally, he likes turnips. He tells how he went to England for a six-week engagement and stayed there 25 years. A native of Philadelphia, a slight southern accent gives .away the fact that he was reared in Virginia.

Jeeter Comes to Life SEATED IN FRONT of a brilliantly lighted mirror, Jeeter begins to live again. Crepe wool is worked into eyebrows and sideburns. The beard which Mr. Barton will wear is rubbed, and dried spirit of gum dust falls off. The mustache is combed and laid on the makeup table within easy reach. There's a certain incongruity as he pulls on Jeeter's patched, discolored undershirt. From a tube the flesh color of a tired and beaten man of the soil emerges. Deft fingers smear it into a white and smooth forehead, then vigorously over the cheeks and nose. “It's still too healthy looking,” so over it goes a paler grease. Blue is applied to the lips. Using both hands, he applies dark brown paint to create the illusion of sunken eyes and prominent cheekbqnes. A dark pencil is applied to the eyes and they seem to sink deeper in his face. The pencil is applied to natural wrinkles which npw give his face the look of poverty, hunger, and misery. He is becoming Jeeter. A white pencil highlights this effect. A powder puff removes the shiny, greasy look. Next the spirit of gum is applied to the eyebrows and crepe wool is pressed tightly in place. “When I leave the dressing room, I am Jeeter Lester,” Mr. Barton explained as he trimmed the brows with a pair of scissors. He grimaces. The brows are perfect. Then the spirit of gum is brushed on his jaw. Jeeter's beard now goes into place. Meticulously it is pressed in place and fits snugly to the real sideburn. More crepe wool eliminates the hard line on the jowl and blends into Mr. Barton's silver hair. The mustache is glued into place and

Tug-of-War

WASHINGTON, Nov. T7—~When a Republican congress grabs one end of the rope and a Democratic White House the other, or vice-versa, the tug-of-war is so evenly matched the boys produce nothing much but agonized grunts. This is no mere soothsaying. I know. I'll ever be able to forget The year was 1932. The situation was the exact reverse of today's. The White House was Republican; the house Democratic. I landed in town from a stint of writing news about the gangsters in Chicago. The late Ray Clapper, my boss, asked if I knew anything about government. I had to admit I was an expert only on submachine guns and needled beer. He assigned me to the White House. It was an ideal place, he said, for a green reporter to break into Washington. I wondered why. “Nothing ever happens there,” Ray replied. Whenever Herbert Hoover sent a message suggestIng that congress adopt some legislation, the Demoecrats managed either to lose it, or to vote it down.

Simmered Down to Glaring

SOME TIMES the lawmakers wrote some laws on their own accord. They'd send ‘em down to 1600 Pennsylvania ave., and Mr. Hoover invariably would veto them. This impasse left the adversaries glaring at each other. Towards the last they did nothing else. Only three reporters, including myself, regularly covered the White House.» We had nothing whatever to do. Occasionally Mr. Hoover held a press conference. The trio would walk into his office solemnly and say, “Good morning, Mr. President.”

Science

THE MACHINERY is now in motion by which the control of atomic energy passes from the hands of the army to the people of the United States. A beginning can now be made to developing the use of atomic energy for peacetime uses instead of bombs. But though the United States is now prepared to move in the right direction, the fact of the matter is that the world still stands at the crossroads and it is not yet certain that we will travel the road to peaceful development instead of the road to world war III The atomic energy problem must be solved on the international level as well as on the national level. For what steps the new atomic energy control commission can take and how fast they can take them will -depend in no small part upon what the international climate is like,

Similar Names Confusing

IT IS NECESSARY, therefore, that we keep our eves on what progress is being made by the United Nations atomic energy commission. The similarity in names of these two commissions is probably going to result in a certain amount of confusion. It is necessary to keep them apart. The commission headed by David E. Lilienthal has been appointed by President Truman under the authority of the atomic energy act of 1946 enacted into law by congress. Under this law, the commission becomes the‘ most ‘powerful commission “ever ereated by act of congress, The United Nations’ commission consists of dele~ gotes from 11 nations. Its function is to arrive at some plan of international control. The American delegate to this comission is Bernard Baruch. As is well known, Mr. Baruch proposed a plan to this’ commission for the establishment of an atomic

My Day

NEW YORK, Wednesday.We came down from Hyde park Sunday evening, and Monday morning I was back in the Hotel Pennsylvania at a delegates’

meeting. The discussion was quite animated. I often wonder whether all the other delegations have as many different shades of opinion and as many different points of view as we have. The fact that our state department gives us a great deal of help and many valuable background papers sometimes gives us a chance to find fault with them. This happens primarily when the state department assumes that we have more knowledge on some particular Atem than we have, which results in our not understanding some of the material that has been prepared.

I know it sounds incredible now, but it got so that Thursday was the big day at the executive offices. That was when the Saturday Evening Post boy cam around. sa

We denizens of the marble-lined prison never could understand why the youngsters representing the other magazines didn’t discover the bonanza. On sunny days we sat on the front steps, communing with the White House squirrels. Sometimes the urge to write a piece for the papers was allconsuming. Usually we solved that one by interviewing the late Steve, Vasilikogs, White House peanut vendor, orf the state of the hation. ; Towards the end of Mr. Hoover's regime, occupants of the White House press room got a break in their routine, Mr, Hoover had numerous gigantic office buildings being erected for government use and we had to follow him on his corner-stone laying expeditions. He was an expert stonemason. Never once did he splatter any cement on his double-breasted blue serge suit. So be it. I fear the White House press room, which hasn't seen a dull moment since 1933, is about to become the scene again of some of the lengthiest tournaments in the history of chess.

By David Dietz

development authority along the lines first set forth in a report drawn up for the state department by a board of consultants headed by Mr. Lilienthal. This report is known variously as the Lilienthal report or the Acheson-Lilienthal report, the latter name being due to the fact that it was approved by a state department committee headed by Undersecretary Dean Acheson.

Commission Caliber Is Help

THERE SEEMS every reason to suppose that Mr. Truman's action in appointing the national control commission headed by Mr. Lilienthal should help the United Nations’ commission reach an agreement. The chief stumbling block to date has been the attitude of Russia. The first effect of President Truman's action should he to make it apparent to the world that this nation is genuinely eager to take atomic energy out of the category of a weapon and a menace to civilization and to make of it something of benefit to man-

‘kind.

Furthermore, the fact that the man who heads the United States’ control commission is also one of the authors of the plan for international control, ought to give other nations confidence in our sincerity in advancing the international control plan: It can be taken for granted that a commission headed by Mr. Lilienthal will be sympathetic to the international control plan. I had the feeling during recent weeks that Mr. Truman's delay in setting up the national control commission was having a bad effect upon the international situation. But any such bad effect should be more than offset by the caliber of the commission which has now been created.
