Rubber Surplus
Anticipated for
Next Few Years
International Group of:
Experts Report Finding
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 -
Tire-hungry motorists take note -
the world now faces a huge rubber
surplus for the next two or three
years.
This is the conclusion of an inter-
national "Rubber Study Group" of
American, British, French and Dutch
experts. They have just concluded a,
meeting in London and their report
was released simultaneously here and
there.
It contains no recommendations for
production controls among the na-
tions which produce natural and syn-
thetic rubber, so that the way ap-
parently is left open for intense com-
petition on a cost basis between the.
manufacturers of synthetic rubber in
this country and the producers of
natural rubber in the Malaya-Dutch
Indies area.

POUNDING OUT PLAYS:
Inspiration Not Nec essary--Ma bie
Half of 8,300,000 Army Should

IOWA CITY, Ia., Nov. 24 -
Pound out enough bad plays and
you'll likely write a good one now
an then, assuming you have a vivid
imagination, of course . . .
That's the belief of Prof. E. C. Ma-
bie, head of the University of Iowa
dramatic arts department.
Three shows currently on Broad-
way, written by his former stu-
dents, back the professor's system.
Two of the plays, "Glass Menag-
erie" and "You Touched Me" were
authored by Tennessee Williams.'
Howard Richardson and William
Berney, both former Iowa students,
turned out "Dark of the Moon."
Other Iowa students have made
notable successes in Hollywood.
Prof. Mabie thinks nothing of re-
quiring his students to do as many
as 18 plays in a nine-month school
year, hoping three or four will be
worthy foundations for future pol-
ished manuscripts. He recalls that
Richard Maibaum once wrote 14 plays
under this "mass production" system,
three of which hit Broadway.
"We don't let our students sit
around tapping their pencils and
waiting for an inspiration to strike
them," Maibe says.a
"Pencil tappers" are given a
newspaper, told to find a theme for
a play and are required to write,
direct and produce the play in nine
days.
"After all, most playwrights don't
know how to write for the stage,"'
Prof. Mabie said. "They can't sit at
a typewriter and write a perfect play.
Actually, the play is formulated right
on the stage, while the actors are1
rehearsing and while they are giving,
their first few performances."
Howard Richardson had to be
"taken by the collar and forced to
work," the professor related. "I gave
him the Barbara Allen legend and
told him to get busy and quit fool-
ing around. 'Dark of the Moon' re-
sulted."
Willingness to work, long and
hard, is one of a playwright's chief
Polish Youths Sent to1
America To Study
DETROIT, Nov. 24 -(A)- Thirty-
two Polish youths, sponsored by the
Catholic Bishops Committee of the
United States, were en route to De-
troit today to attend school at St.
Mary's College and Seminary at Or-
chard Lake.
The youths, many orphaned during
the war, arrived in this country from
Bombay, India, where they were sent
after being released from Siberia by
the Russian Army.

assets, Prof. Mabie claims. An alert
imagination is another requirement,
but imagination can be stimulated
considerably by work.
Williams, remembered here as
"Tom," underwent the nine-play
newspaper treatment. Subsequently,
one of the plays he wrote here reached
Broadway.
Mabie recalls Williams as a student
"who didn't have much money, was
very sensitive, and made you always
want to do something for him." He
was skillful particularly in creating
women characters and tender scenes.
Many plays are sent to the Iowa
theater for criticism. Prof. Mabie
reads each one and then discusses
it with members of his staff and
with advanced students. Sometimes
the plays are staged experimentally,
and the authors may come to make
alterations during rehearsals.
Lt. Robert Anderson, a Harvard
graduate who Prof. Mabie believes
shows promise, has pages of notes and
suggestions on one of his plays wait-

Speak on Labor
Union Leader, Author
Will Be Here Friday
Paul Hagen, former German and
Austrian trade union leader, will dis-
cuss "European Labor in the Post-
War World" at 4:15 p. m. Friday in
Rm. 101 Economics Building.
"Paul Hagen" is a pseudonym used
by Karl B. Frank since he became a
refugee from Hitlerism ten years ago.
During World War II Mr. Hagen
served as research director of the
American Friends of German Free-
dom which issued "Inside Germany
Reports."
Mr. Hagen is the author of "Will
Germany Crack?" and "Germany Af-
ter Hitler." In "Germany After Hit-
ler" he discusses the position of labor
elements in the underground oppo-
sition to Hitler, and the part which
they are likely to play since the Nazi
defeat.
Mr. Hagen comes to Michigan un-
der the auspices of the Workers Edu-
cations Service of the University of
Michigan, and will speak to a number
of labor groups in Detroit and other
cities.
