FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1947 PAGE FIV Fear Russia May Veto US Greek Plan Lake Success, April 18 -- (AP) -- Authoritative sources said today that only a Russian veto would de- feat an American proposal to keep ted Nations observers on the troubled northern border of Greece. As the Security Council prepared to convene American sources sald a majority of the 1l-power body had indicated support of the United al areal bas expressed op] n, however, mast observers believed a Soviet veto probable. Awaiting a Council decision were these two questions: 1. A United States proposal that the Council order its Balkans in- yestigating commission to leave rep- resentatives in the troubled area un- til the Council has acted on its re- port, now being prepared in Geneva. 2. A Russian proposal that the Council establish a United Nations commission to supervise American or any other kind of oytside aid tp Greece. Canada failed yesterday in a de- termined, effort to get a direct, de- tailed answer from Russia on /the key question of international atomic inspection. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, in a written question to Gromyko, asked whether Russia would accept in- spection of atomic energy plants by agents of an international authority recruited from various nations and having access to all countries which would sign a proposed atomic con- trol pact. Gromyko put off an answer to the indefinite future. He sald he was not concerned now with a detailed discussion of the type of inspection personnel. Mean e, Albania further con- fused theSurbulent picture in the Balkans by filing a formal protest against Greece with the United Nations. A non-member of the U.N. Al- bania said in a letter to secretary- general Trygve Lie that "in the first week of April fresh provocations and violations of our territorial waters by Greek ships have taken place in the southern sector of our frontier between Saranda and Vivar (near the Greek island of Corfu.)"

"4 "Here are your pipe and slippers, dear. Now get in there y Pe do the dishes!" Maritime Group Is Competing In Dramatic Final Saint John, N. B.. -- (CP) -- An. nouncement that the New Bruns- wick-Prince Edward Island region would have ne entry in the Domin- ion Drama Pestival at London, Ont., in May, leaves the Halifax Theatre Arts Guild, winners of the Nova Scotia festival, as the sole Maritime representative. . Despite the post-war nucleus of dramatic activity in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, it was felt by officials of the various dra- ma groups that there was no group which could do jujstice to an entry in either the regional or the Dom- inion festival. The fine efforts of entries frcm these provinces in the past will be missed, particularly since many of the plays were writ- ten by Canadians. Groups from the two provinces-- which hold a single festival--never have won top acting honors, but the playwrighting prize has been won by two Saint Jclin authors. Other original plays first presented in the dual.province competition, have won acclaim both in and out of festivals. In 1938, at the Dominion finals at Winnipeg, the $100 authors prize was shared by Jean Sweet and J. H. Thurrott. Mrs, Sweet wrote the one- act play, "Small Potatoes" and Mr. Thurrot penned "La Tour," also a one-act effort. Nor has Prince Edward Island been barren of literary talent. In 1936, a play called "Nocturne," written by Harry Foster of Char- lottetown, was adjudged best in the regional festival and won high praise at the Dominion finals that year, The two oldest groups in the re- gion are the Theatre Guild of Saint John and the Charlottetown Little Theatre Guild. The New Brunswick group has a membership of more than 200 and for 10 years has con- ducted a children's group to assure itself talent in the future. One of some half-dozen groups in P.EI, the Charlottetown Guild has a membership of more than 400. NO BARLEY, NO WHISKY Glasgow--(CP)--The Ben Ne- vis distillery, reopened in i ebru- ary after being closed for a year, closed again after six weeks oper- ation, having exhausted its allo- cation of 8,000 bushels of barley.
