DECEMBER 13, 1973 THE TWIG College theatre festival offers playwriting awards PAGE 5 RSST- HOIA/ABOLJT A LITTLE ACTION ? Special awards for the best new plays on the subject of the American Revolution were announced today by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in con nection with its annual American College Theatre Festival. The awards will be given over the next three years. The program is funded by the David Library of the American Revolution. The library at Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, was founded and endowed by Mr. Sol Feinstone, and is the most important private collection in the country of original manuscripts, letters, and journals of the American Revolution. The library is named for Mr. Feinstone’s grandson. Plays to be eligible for the Jack Anderson’s Weekly special WASHINGTON - The White House, as part of Operation Candor, has been putting out information on President Nixon’s personal finances. Operation Candor, however, hasn’t been com pletely candid. The press releases don’t go into the financial favors that the President has received from his two favorite millionaries, Bebe Rebozo and Robert Abplanalp. Not only did Abplanalp put up most of the money used by the President to purchase his San Clemente estate - the aerosol spray millionaire also cancelled the entire debt in return for a deed to part of the property. In other words, Abplanalp put up most of the money, but Nixon wound up with the best part of the property. Mean while, the President is using all of the property without paying a penny rent to Ab planalp. A confidential govern ment memo discloses that Abplanalp also purchased a house a tew doors down from the President’s residence at Key Biscayne. This was done strictly as a favor to the President who wanted to get rid of a gossipy neighbor. Abplanalp paid $150,000 for the house, and then leased it to the government for $18,000 a year. When he first visited the property in 1969, he was unhappy with its con dition. So he contracted for roof repairs and other work. He submitted a bill of $1,660.90, however, to the government. Quiet questions were raised, but it takes a bold bureaucrat to quarrel with the President’s friend. So the government went ahead and paid the bill. This is a side of the story that the White House isn’t mentioning during Operation Candor. President Nixon’s chief economic adviser, Herbert Stein, has stated publicly that the nation’s unemployment rate will rise close to six percent if the Arab oil em bargo continues. The economic fallout from such massive unemployment would produce a severe recession. As factories were forced to shut down and people were thrown out of work, Americans everywhere would become uneasy about their job prospects. This would cause them to hold off purchases as a hedge against (Continued on page 6) crossword puzzle ACROSS 1 Swig 4 Capital of Latvia 8 Cancer 12 Tonal language 13 Rickenbacker and the Red Baron 14 Occurs by chance (arch.) 15 Drama: Joe --- 16 Dog 18 Flanders flower 20 Used with shift and box 21 Comparative suffix 22 Bog 23 Shade of green 27 Finished first 29 Jolt 30 Character from Peanuts 31 Article 32 Range of knowledge 33 Catcher in the — 34 Steamship (ab.) 35 Fragrance 37 View 38 River in Scotland 39 Soccer hero 40 Insect 41 Symbol: helium 42 Used with drome and nautical 44 Kind of hemp 47 Character from Peanuts 51 Australian bird 52 Sea eagle 53 Saber's cousin 54 Fabulous bird of prey 55 Exploit 56 Auld lang —- 57 Attempt DOWN 1 Footfall 2 Othello's nemesis 3 Character from Peanuts 4 Risque 5 — liebe dich 6 Kind of counter 7 Pallid 8 Character from Peanuts 9 Gridiron cheer 10 Movie: The World of ™ 11 Youth organization (ab.) 17 University of Arizona (ab.) 19 Abbreviation used In adver tising 22 Aficcionado 24 The doctor is - Answers on page6 25 Terpsichore, for example 26 Being (Lat.) 27 Sociologist's term 28 One time 29 A certain set 30 Soap ingredient 32 Squeezed 33 Soak 36 -* Dorado 37 Character from Peanuts 38 Gobi, for one 40 Palacio de Bellas 41 Greeting 43 Plural suffix 44 Travel on thin runners (var) 45 Love Spanish style 46 World's greatest fussbudget 47 Spliced 48 Bauxite 49 Any number divided by itself 50 Period of time (ab.) awards must be written by college students and produced at college theatres as part of the national festival program.

The awards are: First Prize: To the playwright $2,000 To the college drama department producing the play in the Festival $1,000 Second Prize: To the college drama department producing the play in the Festival $500 Additional amounts will be awarded each year, on a matching grant basis, to college theatres which wish to engage professional actors or directors for their produc tions.

In announcing the awards, Mr. Feinstone stressed that “the plays must be ased on truthful, authentic history. One of the purposes of the David Library is to dispel the myths that surround the founders of our country, and remind us that they were very real people - as real as the 30,000,000 imigrants who came pffpr fViorvT onH V»olrv£iH Kiiilrl the country and carry on its traditions. We think young writers can help us all rediscover the drama of the years when our whole country was young and we were young in it.” Next April (1974) will mark the sixth anniversary of the American college Theatre Festival, presented by the Kennedy Center.
