Editor of the Times: The fol-
. lowin? letter has been sent to Hon. Ralph Gates, Governor of .Indiana: 'Dear sir, i What it proves, possibly, 'that "subversion" is too often only what people make it and !that one might investigate the Republican party if he were j a 'Democrat, or investigate , tiio'Democratic party 'if he were' a I Republican, and if he -felt heJ could get away with it in cither case. Currently, popular feeling runs high and destructivs . against the Communist parly; a Governor need feel no hesitation 1 in ordering an investigation. In 1776, if there had been a Com
munist party and a Governor Gates then, you could ;not so easily have ordered such
an investigation. Because during these years and the years di
rectly following - the American 'people had a maddening way of
taking seriously the things they read in such documents as ihe Declaration of Independence- and the Bill of Rights. That is to say, the people welcomed complete political tolerance after so many years under the "guiding" ' but inflexible hand of George III. Since then, however, the Ameri-
Communfcts subversive, they do where ig the differcnce? Here is

Indiana vs. Messrs. Harper Mann,
About 35 years ago, the roving,
roustabout, reckless son of one of America's most famed actors
drifted into port from a tramp steamer ramble and put in, as was his habit, at "Jimmy the Priest's." Jimmy's was a waterfront dive in New York's old "Hell's Kitchen" where outcasts could get a table for a pillow at the price ol a schooner of beer. The other day, following one of the most serious-toned and solemnly staged mass interviews in recent Broadway history, a play went into rehearsal that is
likely to give theatrical immortality to Jimmy's joint and all similar hangouts of yesteryear's sailors and bums. It is titled "The Iceman Cometh" and the author is the same Eugene O'Neill who, fresh from tending mules on a cattle boat, had found temporary harbor in the old grog shop. ' Winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1936 and considered one of the truly great playwrights in the world today, O'Neill has returned to the theatre after a 12-year absence. With him came four of a nine-play cycle. One more will be produced this season. It's titled "A Moon for the Misbegotten" and was written in 1943. Next year will come two more: "A Touch of the Poet" and -"Long Day's Journey Into Night." And there is one for which O'Neill gives neither title nor explanation for it is not to be given to the public until some 25 years after his death. The "Iceman" is symbolic of approaching death. But quite realistic is the Theatre Guild's prediction of a $350,000 advance sale for this most discussed and important event of the Broadway season.. Quite realistic, too, is the personal attention O'Neill has been , giving to the casting and now is giving to the rehearsals. Gaunt, his hair white at the temples, tanned from long hours in the sun, O'Neill has been darting about town since Mid-Summer, leaving in his wake a series of small tales for the chatterminded. Almost invariably he was to be seen in the company of that perennial hedonist and man-about-town, George Jean Nathan, to whom O'Neill entrusts the reading of all playscripts and in whose judgment the great playwright 'has had implicit faith. Sitting in a Theatre Guild anteroom surrounded by reporters, a 48-year-old Eugene O'Neill, his
voice low-pitched, his hands trembling from the weakening effects of recent illness, visioned humanity at a new spiritual low. America, instead of being; the most successful of countries, has he feels become the greatest spiritual failure. Also, of all his plays to date, he said he liked best, "The Hairy Ape." And this, in case you may have forgotten, is the drama of Yank, a tough stoker on a ship, begins in a steamer's hold and winds up in a zoo, where Yank is killed by a-gorilla. , Here, again, was O'Neill at his
symbolic best. Yank represented
"man who, having lost his basic harmony with nature is unable to acquire this harmony in a spiritual way. He cannot go for. ward, and so he tries to go back. He shakes hands with the gorilla but he can't go back to the state of "belonging" to the animal world. So he is killed. This, mind 'you, is the same Eugene O'Neill who was to have been observed at prize fight rings, and at baseball games and even,? again in the company of George Nathan, at some of the gayer cocktail spots although health compels O'Neill to stay on the wagon. As a youth there were few who tipped glasses more recklessly. And to some of these youthful scenes he has been returning. One day, at the corner of Broadway and 43rd, he passed the site of the old Barrett House which became the Cadillac Hotel and has been torn down since last he was in New York. There, in October of 1888, he was born to the handsome, dashing and gifted James O'Neill, whose "Count of Monte Cristo" was a classic of the theatre, and to Ella Quinlan, a devout product of a Catholic convent. In his own family he saw symbolic conflict for the great James O'Neill, who had been declared an incomparable "Othello" was dragged back year after year to "Monte Cristo" by a public that rewarded him with $50,000 in yearly profits. But Eugene ran from the theatre to the sea car oused too much as a youth and, stricken with tuberculosis, had long months in which to think and read and write. He does not forget, however, Frederick P. Latimer who was O'Neill's boss when the playwright was a reporter on the New London, Conn., Telegraph. "The Judge was the first person who really thought I could write and had something to say,' says O'Neill.

He was one of the jailers.
They would never fool her again . . .
THE sea slashed at the rocky coast and sometimes a wave would strike against the walls of the prison. High tide. H,igh tide . . . The cell's only piece of furniture was the narrow bed on which Virginia lay. She could wriggle her toes and her fingers, but otherwise she was tied down tightly in cold wet cloths. In her fantasy, she thought the jailers would come soon and put her into a canvas sack and throw her into the sea. But Robert would be in a boat ... he would save her. A man came to her side and put a hand on her forehead. ; She knew he was one of the jailers. He said something but she did not answer. Then it was a car she was in, rushing down a mountainside. They almost crashed. She was taken out and led to a tub which had a little canvas hammock. She lay on that
and a cover was stretched across the tub. The bodytemperature water ran in and out constantly ... A nurse tried then to feed her. "Thank you," said Virginia, "but I do not care for any lunch.'.' She closed her mouth and turned her head.-Once the nurse caught her off guard but Virginia spat; the bit of potato out onto the sheet. . , .- The nurse went away and after a while she came back. She was talking to someone. "Of course you aren't supposed to be here, Mr. Cunningham," she was saying, "but we thought . . . Virginia your husband is going to give you your lunch. Isn't that nice?" The man resembled Robert very closely. But she turned her head away. They would never fool her again ... Occasionally she was aware of being moved from a tub
"Oh, Virginia," the nurse said. "Wait a minute."'
to a cold wet bed. Then gradually she began to come out of it. Every night they put her in pack wrapped in the soaking sheets. Twice she escaped and curled up in a dry sheet. They laced her down then. It wasn't fair. Nobody could get out of that. - But one night a nice thing happened. The nurse was busy and Virginia found a dry bed with two blankets. Sha got up next morning before the nurse found her and nothing was said. She was looking for another that night when she found a room with mattresses on the fioor. Most of them were laid with wet sheets folded in the diabolically exact pattern. Better get out of here .. . - "Oh, Virginia. Wait a minute." It was too late. The nurse had seen her . . , (Continued tomorrow) ,
