THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1947 'AGE FOUR British Exodus Grows As Home Crisis Continues By ROBERT FAHS United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON U.R) About 500, 000 persons have decided defi nitely to emigrate from the Uni ted Kingdom and only the short age of transportation is delaying their departure, a United Press survey snowed.

Most of the migration will be within the British common wealth, principally to the do minions. The United States is the destination of most of those going outside the common wealth, with only negligible numbers applying for permission to move to Latin American countries and other non-English-speaking- nations throughout the world. The exodus is being encour aged by the government because of the difficulty of supporting the home population under pres ent conditions. By far the largest number of people want to go to Australia. Australian officials in London said they had 220,000 applications (estimated to represent 400,000 persons) for free or assisted pas- S3 C. Australia Over Quota Although Australia has a tar get of 70,000 immigrants yearly, it was expected that there will be only 6,000 by the end of this year and 12,000 next year. Appli cations on hand would fulfill the i target for the next live yis. However, the figures ao not in clude those who pay their own fares and travel either by sea or air, with delays up to about a year in obtaining passage. The situation lor otner cuuu tries was: SOUTH AFRICA: Expects 16, 000 to 20,000 immigrants this vear. with 35,000 registered ap- i plicants on the waiting list in .London. Inquiries, 50 to iuu aany.

Canada Attracts Many CANADA: No waiting list fig ures available. No official esti mate of number of, inquiries. During 18 months from Sept. 30, 1945, to March 31, 1947, there were 55,875 immigrants from the United Kingdom a monthly rate of more than 3,000. Trans portation is limited and crowded.

UNITED STATES: Quota for British immigrants is 67,721 yearly, which has not been filled. The London office, which is the largest of four in the United Kingdom, issued 6.599 visas in the year ended June, 30, 1946, and 11,452 visas in the year en ded June 30, 1947. The majority of persons making inquiries do not follow through with appli cations and others are unable to meet requirements. C. Hudson & Marie: 9-6-47, L. 1 to 4 B. 163 Platts., $11,000.00.

When it finally was decided to have the formal opening and shake. the critics loose from their summer sloth, the first-nighters arrived at the International to find the marquee lights dark and the doors closed. That situation prevailed until the advertised curtain time of 8:40, when the lights went on and . the doors were opened. It developed that the man who leased tho theater suddenly de manded a certain cash sum be paid by the producer before he would let the show go on: He got the money. There have been worse plays than "The Magic Touch," but it was bad enough. You could sense that the actors had no confidence in what they were doing. The plot concernsthe efforts of a young married couple to talk the husband's book publisher boss into raising his salary from $23.50 a week. After being forced to consent to a rise, he reneges when he decides that the success of the couple living on $28.50 weekly is the basis for a terrific book. They have to continue at that level to make the book ring true.

Phone 2581 UP AND DOWN BROADWAY By JACK GAVER United Press Drama Editor NEW fORK U.Rl The story about the play '"The Magic Touch" is considerably more in- ' tercsting than the work itself. I so this won't be much concerned ! with what happened on the stage of the International Theater. The play, by Charles Raddock and Charles Sherman, had a ; couple cf tryout dates before j coming to New York. Then it i began playing a series of so called previews at the Interna tional which lasted more than two weeks. It isn't often that a : play that has had out-of-town dntps bnthrrs with ureviews I here, and in cases where pre- i "' views are held they to two or three.

Customers served hj Consumers Public Power District used better than 80 more kilowatt hours in 1946 than they did in 1936. Customers continue to use the greater benefits of electricity until at certain peak periods the demand almost reaches the point of supply, while war and its resultant manufacturing condi tions have retarded the construction of new facili ties needed to provide additional power, jr Serving Nebraska Electricity A i ff a - oaiuonai power supply facilities are being constructed, but cannot be completed until 1949. Meanwhile, all power simply agencies are working together to obtain maximum power from combined facilities. The power situation may continue to be criti cal during mid-summer and mid-winter peak period. But it is expected that normal requirements can be served satisfactorily i until new equipment is ready to supply additional power for Ne- - " uiuuiino, iarm eiectnticatic tion and better living.
