The committee wishes Miss Osborn and Miss Can-field to come up on the stage Allen Replies To Hardee Suit TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 24. UPl Leroy Allen, Hillsborough county solicitor, told the Supreme Court today C. J. Hardee, suspended from the office, is seeking to have the court "usurp the powers, duties and functions of the Senate" and rule on whether Governor Sholtz' could put Hardee out of office.

Allen sought dismissal of a case in which Hardea challenges the governor's order suspending him on charges of failing to prosecute gambling law violators. The Hardee suit, Allen said in replying to it, was "prematurely instituted," because Governor Sholtz has not announced a decision on Hardee's application for re-instatement He described it as an effort "to require the court to usurp" the powers, duties and functions of the Senate," which must approve or reject all suspensions. Hardee' suit is an ouster action against Allen, appointed by Governor Sholtz. Hardee said charges against him alleged failure to prosecute gambling during the time he served under one commission from the governor, whereas the suspension order was signed during another term. The court has not acted in the case.

Since the disappearance, shortage in Kendrick's business accounts has been discovered. Refusing to let others know how deeply she has been hurt, Marcia, who is interested in amateur dramatics, goes to the try- outs of the Stagecraft Guild to try for a part in the new play. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER II The Stagecraft Guild's casting committee awaited the ambitious talent of the village in the Bobbs Neck Community Auditorium.

A few early seekers of roles were seated in various conditions of nervousness, through the auditorium itself, while the seven mem bers of the committee had withdrawn to a private room to pass the time until 8:15 o'clock, when tryouts were to begin. One committee had chosen the play; the casting committee would people it; another committee had the task of selecting, also from the membership, an amateur director; still another would create the scenery and costumes. Such was the democracy of the Guild. Annual elections were intended to keep the committees fresh. With four plays a year scheduled, a member of the Guild might well be in tum an actor, director, stagehand and designer in one 12-month.

Mike Bradford, who worked for New York newspaper and had few gods, addressed his six fellow members of the casting committee after finding by his watch that ten minutes must pass before the evening's labors could beein. "There are 27 parts in this cheese of a show," he said, "counting clear down to the brat In the third act who says 'Yes, twice and 'No, once. I'll laugh raucously if only 26 people show up tonight." There was no response, but Mike needed none. "I figure," he continued, "that GEORGE KOOK Bat and 8ho Repairing Moved from N.

Reno is beginning to attract attention.

The latest request for information was from the Chamber of Commerce for Tel-Aviv and Jaffa, Palestine. The data, it was said, were desired for the chamber's library to meet de mands for information about Reno. I A They all Helen 98 per cent of all contestants in this sort of bilge are 100 per cent rotten actors to start with, and since the by-laws allow the casting committee only this one evening to finish off the job, there won't but much selectivity involved. The only work in any event will be sponging off our self respect afterward." Miss Sellers, the chairman, who taught English in the high school, volunteered a defense of the dignity of the Guild's aims. Miss Sellers continuously volunteered for a variety of endeavor in Bobbs Neck.

"Why, Mr. Bradford," she said, smiling with some coyness to cloak the scolding she intended to give this agnostic, "you don't really feel that way about it, of course! If you did, you wouldn't keeps tall drinks lively and full of zest TODAY and Thurs. again before making a final decision. Miss will you come first, please?" Dorothy went forward and again paraded her histrionic abilities as they were suggested by Miss Sellers. A murmur of polite applause rewarded her.

"Now, Miss Canfield." Marcia went to the stage, read a few lines, struck a few poses, walked in this manner and that manner, as Miss Sellers prompted. Again a murmur of applause. The committee members bent their heads to confer. Marcia started back to her seat. In the silence, Dorothy Osborn spoke to a girl seated beside her, and her voice carried it seemed meant to carry.

"Well, Marcia certainly could do the Julia part to perfection," said Dorothy, bhe has had such recent and excellent experience in how did Miss Sellers put it? the rocky path of love. Just made for the part, don't you think?" Marcia sat down. No one could have told that she had heard. Or minded. Mike Bradford, who was not un acquainted with village gossip had seen, had heard and had understood.

He felt more kindly toward his fellow committeemen, then, as Miss Sellers, having polled them for the final verdict, spoke again. "The committee assigns Miss Canfield to the part of Julia," she announced. "Miss Osborn will play Emma." Bradford caught up wltn Doro thy Osborn half-way to the exits, as the crowd started homeward. "You'll knock 'em into the aisles as Emma," he said. "Baby, you were born to the part! Dorothy could only glare, and Mike Bradford thereupon contin ued home in such high humor that he forgot to pick another of series of quarrels with his wife over having ever gotten involved in the affairs of the Stagecraft Guild.

(To Be Continued) BRISBANE'S VIEWS (Continued from Page One) Fortunately, the lady president had provided an electric bell so loud that when she rang it the la dies shouting at each other could hear nothing else. TO HAVE PEACE you must have peaceful people. And women are often the most ardent support ers of war. One lady, looking at a painting of the Sabine women being carried oft by rorce, ex pressed the strange belief that the Sabine women were glad of It. Before you change old habits of human beings you must change your human beings.

and that takes time. Our prohibition experiment proved it. SWITZERLAND and Holland join the United States, England and France in a money pact. Just what that "pact" is perhaps not even those that wrote it could tell you. For Uncle Sam the main thing is that, while nobody really knows anything about money, he will soon have CjO.OOO worth of gold buried a hole, covered with "bombproof concrete.

That United States of America gold makes other countries re spect our paper money. Why we should fuss about trying to lend strength to the paper money to other nations is not clear to some Americans, except on the theory that it is impossible for this coun-- try to mind its own business. MUSSOLINI'S government, de clining to comment on Madrid's complaint of "foreign submarines" attacking Loyalist Spanish ships intimates that Italy will go far before allowing "the establishment of a Red republic in Spam." Mus solini does not want Stalin to straddle that Spanish peninsula, one foot in the Mediterranean, one in the Atlantic. THE NEW YORK American will send to witness the Presi dent's inauguration 20 high school boys and girls, that send the best answers to ten questions on Amer ican history. You might let your boy or girl try question No.

1 that must be answered in not more than 100 words. "Why is the Declaration of In dependence regarded as one of the most outstanding contributions to human freedom In the history of the world?" The Declaration of Independ ence presents convincingly the truth that men ought to govern themselves. It remains to teach men how to govern themselves; that is the job of the public schools, and not easy. SALENGRO, French cabinet minister who killed- himself, dis heartened and discouraged by calumny," as he said, forgot what he owed to his family and his own memory. The French prime min ister, Blum, proposes severe pun- Ishmnet for such calumny here after.

In Salengro's case the difficulty is that nothing can ever be proved about the accusation that he was a deserter In the wartime. He probably was not guilty, since a committee or war veterans has exonerated him, but "suicide is confession," Is a saying that persists.

"It's these family memberships that did me wrong," sighed Brad ford. "Dues, 5 bucks a head, 10 for the family. My wife took a family membership and she put my name on the application.

That made me a member. And since I suppose everybody dodges these idiotic comittee jobs, someone picked on me and put my name on the ballot at the last election, and here I am, while Joan, the cause of it all, sits at home in comfort. Pardon me! Forgot I was speaking to the members of the committee. "I just know you're teasing!" said Miss Sellers, who knew that he wasn t. "Yes, ma'am," said Bradford, "Well, come on, judges.

Let's get out there and get it over with. My dear Joan, how I'd love to smack you right on the jaw!" iwo hours sutticed for an elimination review of the talents of the 41 candidates who had appeared for the tryouts, with Miss Sellers on the stage giving them lines to say and actions to per form, while the other members of the committee, scattered "out front," graded them. Two hours, and then the grades were tallied, the chosen were announced and the luckless departed, and the committee and the selected per sons assembled anew for the definite assignment of roles. For this purpose the members of the committee gathered on the stage and compared notes, occa sionally calling some person up for a further tryout. It was decided immediately and unanimously that the part of Bully Mc-Guire should go to Ralph Hanson, whose father had trotted home from the station in an in adequate overcoat a few hours before.

Ralph, was known favorably to his contemporaries In the village, and to his elders he was awfully nice Hanson boy." The 510 which had paid for his family's membership in the Guild was money he had earned as he earned all that was spent on himself, at every sort of job he could do and still remain in high school. The part of Sally, Bully's elder sister, went without debate to Helen Waddell, Marcia Canfield's closest friend, whose father owned the $90 overcoat. Helen had the attributes of success; she was pretty, and serious, and clever, and she was popular. But at 24 years she could only spend her time wishing she had a job, for there was a parental injunction that people in the village would think they needed the money if she had gainful employment. The casting went on.

The mem ber of the committee found them selves In surprising agreement as the various roles and available players were considered, and where infrequent disagreements developed, they resorted to further tryouts. At last only two roles were still to be filled, that of Julia, the leading woman, and Emma, Julia's sister. And only two players, of course, remained to be assigned. One was Marcia Canfield. The other was Dorothy Osborn, whose father had the $47.50 "overcoat and unheated automobile.

The committee members conferred. Apparently they could not agree, for Miss Sellers stepped forward and addressed the players who were her audience. "Two parts remain," she said. "One Is Julia, who, as you probably know, is the heroine of 'Half Acre in Julia finds the path of love a very rocky path, indeed. The other part Is Emma, Julia's sister, a very jealous and acid sort of woman truly 'a re-.
