Recently Appointed Senior Editors of The Daily 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.

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.

Alfred Scheips, "Shall We Still Believe in Hell?" 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- Paul Hagen To 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. Gas Strike Causes Ilackout in London LONDON, Nov. 24 - (P) - Streets were blacked out in 23 London bor- oughs tonight as an unofficial strike of 2,000 gas workers in Essex cut gas supplies in half. ing for his return from overseas. The Iowa theater presented his "Coming Marching Home" even though it need- ed alterations. Now he will have the necessary data for making improve- ments. Mabie's protegesaeso have been successful on the screen. Maibaum has written the scripts for several successful movies. E. P. Conkle wrote "Prologue to Glory," and Dan Totherah did "Moor Born." Both were staged here first.
