Observers here look upon the pro- posed action against Franco as a dangerous precedent. Extremists see in such action the possibility that, at some future time, the pre- sent anti-Franco forces might take exception to the form of govern- ment in a Capitalist country-- Ca- been touched, may find it possibile t off the Franco debate until adian materials are much in evidence at the Lake Success head- quarters of the U.N., although per- haps few of the delegates from oth- * er nations realize it.

The basic U.S, suggestions, were for an international trade organiza- tion setting fair world trade rules, the freest possible trade among members with eventual elimination of tariffs and preferences, inter- national checks on restrictive busi- ness and consideration of inter provincial agreements on commod- ity exchanges after consultation. The committees' reports, which eventually will reach, the ' general international trade conference next fall, are expeeted to reflect the Un- ited Kingdom emphasis on the need for full employment as well as a high level of trade. Small countries also demanded that there be provision for tariffs or other restrictions to protect thelr interna] economy in the event of a slump. Heads Soviet Army Marshal Ivan S.

By FRANK HINDS Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Nov, 23--(CP)--A mi- racle happened on the stage of the Alvin Theatre this week--just as the director of a play-within-a-play foretold it would. "Joan of Lor- rdine," the peasant Saint of Dom- remy, came to life under the minis- trations of a screen actress and a playwright. Ingrid Bergman, the first lady of the screen, sérved notice that the various "First Ladies" of-the stage had better look to their lightning. And playwright Maxwell Anderson deserves applause as warm as the critical shoulder was cold to his "Truckline Cafe" last season. - oe The action of the play takes place during a day's rehearsal of the play- within-the-play. Miss Bergman, in the role of actress Mary Grey, quar- rels with her director over his and the playwrights interpretation of the Maid of Orleans, The story of Joan is interrupted onstage by repeated arguments be- tween actress and director over Joan's conflict in supporting the vacillating Dauphin and his corrupt court, her wavering faith in her voices and her final decision to end all compromise and suffer martyr- dom. By this technique, the discursive- ness of so many stage Joans of the past is kept from infringing on the simple story of the Saint. The mi- racle of Joan stands unmarred by confining dialectic to the provoca- tive rehearsal discussions. ig > Sam Wanamaker is excellent as the director who finally convinces his star that even Joan unwitting- ly compromised with the world for the sake of her mission until com- promise no longer was possible. Vet- eran Romney Brent, until recently a Canadian army officer, is a wry- ly amusing Dauphin, But Miss Bergman scores a' per- sonal triumph as the spellbinding Saint and the radiant young actress. She fairly lights up the bare :ctage with her sincerity. And for cynics who may think her luminous beau- ty something born of klieg lights, if must be said that in the boy-cos- tumes of mediaeval Joan, in the severe frocks of the conscientious young actress, in the spotlight and in the bald electric glare of the prop lights--she's. . .oh, trot out your own adjectives! Lee Simonson'§ deceptively sim- ple stage-littered ever-so-artfully with props and scenery flats and subtly lighted fgr every inch of hits magic--is just right. LE Local girl makes good is old stuff to Dora Sayers of Clarkson, who learned stagecraft in the Univer- sity of Toronto productions at Hart House Theatre and will appear at Toronto's Royal Alexandra the week of Nov. 26 in support of Gertrude Lawrence in "Pygmalion." Miss Sayers has shown her stuff to the stay-at-homes on several road tours, first of which was with Joan Ben- nett some seasons ago in 'Stage Later she. trouped with Ruth Chatterton, starring opposite Miss Chatterton's former husband, Ralph Forbes, in Noel Coward's "Private Lives." Miss Sayers subsequently married Mr. Forbes. Miss Sayers was appearing on Broadway in Elizabeth Bergner's vehicle "The Two Mrs, Carrolls"-- which co-starred Victor Jory of Vancoucer--three seasons ago when she left for the Pacific with a US. O. unit, island-hopping with the Moss Hart production of "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Since then she played with the ton com- pany of "Ten Little Indians" before entering "Pygmalion's" cast.

Supreme Court Justice Benedict Dineen was handed this poser: Louis Maliska, 38-year-old Bronx machinist demanded in a Habeas Corpus proceeding that his wife produce their three children which he has never seen and which he says his wife, Marion Anderson Ma- liska, 40, & practical nurse, has "se- creted through fraud and deceit." Mrs. Maliska however, contends that there never were any children. 'The children listed by her hus- band are Louis E., 8; Theresa, 5. and Anna, 2. He testified that each time his wife told him of bearing a child she explained it was in an in- stitution and persuaded hm not to try to see it. He said he later checked records of hospitals and doctors mentioned by his wife "but I never found any- thing." Maliska submitted as exhibits let- ters he sald his wife had written to relatives, mentioning the children, and a father's day card signed "Sonny, Susie and Terry." Mrs. Maliska, still to testify, told newspapermen she had borne no children, and "the talk about chil- dren was more or less a joke." The Maliskas were married nine years ago, Facing Criticism British and American observers are watcheing closely the Romanian elections following charges that the Communist-controlled government of Premier Petru Groza has per- mitted kidnappings, intimidation and killings of opposition groups.
