Lawmakers Act On Series Of Defense Bills War-stemmed proposals topped a score of bills introduced in the New Jersey Assembly Monday daring a brief and restricted session at Trenton. No measures were introduced in the Senate. A measure designed to protect the positions of appointive public employes called to military service was offered by Assemblyman Leon Leonard, Atlantic County

Republican.

Leonard's bill would provide that an appointive official entering the Army or Navy should have the right to serve equivalent of his unexpired term r > honorable discharge from

service.

Assemblyman Frank S. Platts, Essex Republican, introduced a bill to continue tax exemptions granted members of the now federalized New Jersey National Guard for the duration and six months thereafter. Assemblyman Dolbow, Salem Republican, introduced a measure providing a flat annual eight dollars for passenger car registration and cutting driver’s license costs from three dollars to one dollar a year Platts introduced another bill providing for annual audits of accounts of all county boards and commissions financed by county funds in the same manner that Boards of Freeholders are required to file audits. A $2,001,460 Motor Vehicle Department budget for 1942 was approved Monday night by the Legislative Joint Appropriations . Committe, which over protest allotted $23,300 for new employes not recommended by Governor

Edison.

Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee, describing long, payless overtime sessions put in by clerk-stenographers and others in his department trying to keep up with the increased volume of work, asked for $68,700 for added help. He said department workers were leaving regularly for better jobs. Edison in his annual budget message to the Legislature which stressed need for economy because of the war, turned down Magee’s request. Earlier the New Jersey Highway Users Conference, estimating that the Legislative Joint Appropriations Committee now had pending before it proposals for a total diversion of $21,129,096 of automobile tax funds to nonhighway purposes, said that "clearly the motor vehicle owners of the state are being made the tax goats of New Jersey". The State Taxpayers Association urged the Legislature to discontinue, at least temporarily, contributions to the State Teachers Pension and Annuity Fund.

Army Air Corps Seeks Men Here “Okay, mister. You've heard that well have plenty of planes,” Captain Elbert C. Price, postoffice building, Trenton, told a Star and Wave reporter today, speaking with a determined jut to hij jaw. "Now we're going to get the pilots for them—and a lot of them are going to come from Cape May if I can do anything about it’’ Captain Price glanced at a stack of aviation cadet application blanks piled on his desk and continued his discourse. “No plane was ever built that was worth the metal it used up, unless there was a man around to take it up into the air and make it do what it was supposed to American planes are the best the world and American pilots i the most capable. But neither < of these is any good for our job without the other. That's why I have been told to get going on the matter of securing applications for flight training in the Army. “Mister," he added, “it’s

Young men of Cape May, pointed out, can qualify for i. pointment as aviation cadets by passing physical and educational examinations. They must be unmarried and between the ages of ! and 26. They will receive $76 month, board, room and dental and medical care during their training, at the completion of which they will be commissioned second lieutenants in the Air Corps Reserve and take their places among the fighting pilots of the U. S. Army. “Send ’em to me,” Captain Price aaid. “I'll give them the details and we'll soon find out if they

qualify."

I “But aviation cadets alone are 'not enough to ‘Keep ’Em Flying!",

Cape Theatre Review By the Observer Oscar Wilde's immortal and world-famous masterpiece o f farce-comedy "The Importance Of Being Ernest” is the bill for this week at the Cape Theatre, which is presenting its winter productions at St. Mary’s Hall, at the rear of the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea. The play will be given on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with the curtain at 8 o’clock. “The Importance Of Being Ernest” is now ranked as a classic and it is perhaps the most perfect example in drama of the farce of clever, sparkling dialogue. The situation and plot and character too are excellent examples of farce. Despite the fact that the play is now about a half century old, it is probably as entertaining as it ever was. The cast for this production is as follows: Philip Earle as Algy, Gene Lyons as Ernest, Sam Freas as Canon Chasuble, Virginia Daly as Lady Bracknell, Marie Louise Jones as Gwendolyn. Patricia Weil as Cecily, and Gladys Brownell as Miss Prism. Also in the cast are John Cunningham and T. C. UphamProducer Upham has selected for next week's bill a replacement for “Ten Nights in a Barroom”, which was originally planned. Henrik Ibsen’s famous classic “A Doll’s House" will be the production, with Patricia Weil as Norah and Philip Earle as Torvald Helr. In the most recent revival New York of this great plan, the leading role was taken by Ruth Gordon. The play has often been called the first "modern "

drama.

The three one-act comedies presented last week were received by the audiences. The successful undoubtedly tussian farce “A Marriage Proposal”, which was brilliantly acted in a well-knit production by Philip Earle, Patricia Weil, and Eugene Lyons. The transformation of Mr. Earle from the deep-dyed villain of “Fireraan. Save My Child" to the pepperyold Russian gentleman in “A Marriage Proposal" was especially noted. Both Miss Weil and Mr. Lyons were at their best too, and though every one regretted that Miriam Stovall had left the Miss Weil proved that sh« could well fill her place. Newcomers to the productions last week were a group of high school players—Thomas Stevens, who ably handled a long and difficult part in “Three's a Crowd ", Betty Lou Hughes, Stephanie Doherty, Lois Crosby, Arthur Cohen, Jimmie Corson, and Mary Doran. All contributed to the suc•ss of both “Three’s A Crowd” id “Fireman, Save My Child”. Others appearing for the first time with the Cape Theatre were Gladys Brownell and Joan Reddy. The plays were staged by Mr. Earle and Mr. Upham, and those ith the assistance of several others in the company prepared the sets. Several additional volunteers ive come forward to play parts forthcoming productions, and they will be cast in plays soon to be announced.
