Miss Prowse has starred in "Sweet Charity" in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and London, but never before in Dallas.

John Davidson, stage, film, recording, and supper club star, will'play King Arthur in "Camelot." Another favorite with Dallas Musicals audiences, Davidson will be making his third appearance on the series. His State Fair Music Hall debut was as Billy Bigelow in "Carousel" during the 1968 summer season, and he returned to star in "I Do! I Do!" in 1970. That "Carousel" holds the No. 11 spot for box office grosses on the Musicals chart. Barbara Eden, film and television actress undertaking the title role of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," will be new to the Music Hall stage.

But she will be familiar to TV audiences who have followed her longrun TV series, "I Dream of Jeannie" in which she was the Jeannie. Both Milton Berle, the star, and "Two By Two," the show, that will wind up the season, will be "firsts" for the Musicals. "Two By Two" is the latest score by Richard Rodgers, whose partnerships, first with Lorenz Hart, and later with Oscar Hammerstein II, the suppliers of the words to his music, made American musical history. "Two By Two" is adapted from Clifford Odets' comedy, "The Flowering Peach," and takes a humorous, folksy look at Noah, his his Ark, and his Flood. Berle will play Noah.

Veteran showman Berle made his acting debut at the age of five, in the arms of Marie Dressier in "Tillie's Punctured Romance," the famous silent film. Charlie Chaplin was also starred. Berle had successively conquered the motion pictures, vaudeville, Broadway, and radio, when, in the infancy of television, he inaugurated the Texaco Star Theater and "Uncle Millie" became "Mr. Television" to millions of early TV viewers. Season tickets to the Dallas Summer Musicals are $30, $22.50, and $17.50 for lower floor locations, and $22.50, $12.50 and $7.50 for balcony seating.

Performances will be given nightly, except Monday, at 8:15 p.m., with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Mail orders are being accepted at the State Fair Box Office at Titche's, P. 0. Box 895, Dallas, Texas 75221. Over the counter sales of season tickets will be available, beginning May 17, at the State Fair Box Office locations at all Titche's stores Downtown, North- Park, Preston Forest, Wynnewood, Lochwood, Arlington, and Irving.

DALLAS Auditions for singers and dancers for the chorus of the 1971 Dallas Summer Musicals will be held the last weekend of May at the State Fair Music Hall in Dallas. Singers will be auditioned Saturday, May 29, with the finals Sunday, May 30. Dancers will be auditioned May 30.

Dr. and Mrs.

W. L. Colip and John Points of Grand Prairie were among the 15,000 Rotarians and guests from more than 60 countries who attended the 62nd annual convention of Rotary International from May 16 to May 20 in Sydney, Australia. It was the second overseas convention they have attended since they joined the worldwide service organization. The theme of the convention was reflected in major addresses concerning Rotarians' responsibilities to get involved in the important issues of the day and how law can be harnessed to bridge the gaps created by social and environmental problems in all strata of human life.

Among speakers were celebrated American clergyman, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, the author of "The Power of Positive the world famous mountain climber of Auckland, New Zealand, Sir Edmund Hillary; and Charles S. Rhyne, President of the World Peace Through Law Centre. The gathering was also addressed by Sir Walter Scott, a business management expert of Sydney, and by Ernst G. Breitholtz of Sweden, who is incoming President of Rotary International for 1971-72.

In addition to and convention business audiences applauded several entertainment programs saturated with Australian flavor. One of these was "Rotary Down Under in directed by. Australian television and stage personality Bobby Limb. Mr. Points and Dr.

Colip are members of the Dallas County Rotary Chorus which appeared in concert at the opening session. Future Rotary International conventions are scheduled for Houston in 1972 and Lausanne, Switzerland in 1973. The Black Plague wiped out at least one-quarter of the population of Europe beginning about 1347. In party primary battle Luna Amendment wins first round By PATSI AUCOIN First fall in the legislative wrestling match over who shall control party primaries in Texas has been won by the parties, and Dallas County Democratic chairman Earl Luna is giving odds on the "party people" unless "some individual is able to block it." "It" is the so-called "Luna amendment" which calls pretty much for the status quo except for provisions for candidate pauper's oaths and write- in candidates, neither of which exists now. And while he didn't name any "individuals," it is Dallas County Rep.

Jim Stroud who has kept the plan bottled up in the House Elections Committee and could continue to do so. The Luna plan passed on the Senate floor Tuesday, despite the opposition of Dallas County Sens. Mike McKool and Oscar Mauzy and seven others. It won approval from Dallas County Sens. Ike Harris, Ralph Hall and 19 others.

What passed was actually McKool's bill, which would have turned administration of the party primaries over to the state and county governments, with Luna's amendment, which switched it back to the parties. Which is why McKool voted against his own bill. While time is short before recess of the regular session on Memorial Day, Luna said he has "enough votes in the House for passage unless some individual thwarts the will of the majority." If that unnamed individual succeeded in doing that, Luna said it would mean either a special session (the present primary system has been declared unconstitutional by a Dallas federal court panel and has got to be changed in some manner) or it would mean the public would have to pay for the party primaries next spring. Luna said his plan, which is only a one-year measure pending U. S.

Supreme Court consideration of the federal court ruling, would satisfy the court objection to "exorbitant" candidates' filing fees by setting a maximum of 5 per cent of the annual salary, introducing a new affadavit of inability to pay and allowing for write-in candidates in the primary. He said the plan has passed the legal scrutiny of the Dallas County Democratic Executive Committee's Legal Committee, made up of Bill Dowdy, Jeff Hassell David Lair and Paul B. Underkofler Jr. It was instigated last March, in a Saturday morning session of a number of what was termed by Luna "civic and business leaders" and by the newspapers "conservative county leaders whom Luna refused to name." Luna said the group "didn't authorize me to make any public statement of their identity. They are people who don't like to be at the front in the news." The struggle is ideological, between liberal and conservative, rather than partisan, although County Republican Chairman Tom Crouch has voiced mild opposition to Luna's plan.

Luna says he has the pledge of support in the House from Dallas County Rep. Fred Agnich, making it unanimous among the county's two voting Republicans, Sen. Harris already having voted for it. To the public, it's mostly a question of who will finance the costly party primaries them or the candidates. C.

Jack Price, administrator of the Dallas County Hospital District, is the new president- elect of the Texas Hospital Association following a vote of the organization in San Antonio this week. Price joined the DCHD in 1962 as associate administrator. 6 IslancP controversy costs group member Daily News Austin Bureau AUSTIN Appearing before he Senate Nominations Com- ittee, Harry L. Tennison of ort Worth said he does not ant to continue as a member lof the Texas Conservation oundation because of its "ille- al" action during the Mustang sland acquisition controversy. "I would like to be removed from the foundation," Tennison said.

"But I don't want to sit on an organization which is used as a whipping boy against the democratic process." He said his objection arose when the foundation held a hearing on the proposed state! purchase of land on Mustang Island for a state park. The foundation made an illegal decision on the matter, he said, because it has no legal powers to make decisions. "ll at the time that I did not think it "was" a question on which we had the right to act," jhe said. 1 Sen. Doc Blanchard of Lubbock encouraged Tennison to stay on the Conservation Foundation because "I like us' to confirm people who will go to meetings and holler for what they think is right." Sen.

Pete Snelson of Midland told Tennison that the committee would report his appointment out to the Senate with the recommendation that he be confirmed for the year he has served and that after the confirmation he could send in his resignation to the governor if he still wants to. "I hope that in the meantime we can convince him to stay," Sen. Blanchard said.

Railroad Commission grants increase AUSTIN The Texas Railroad Commission has granted a temporary 12 per cent increase in railroad freight rates, with only a few exceptions. At the close of a hearing on the requested general 12 per cent increase, the attorney for the railroads, James P. Simpson, asked the commission to grant the temporary increase on all rates which were not opposed at the hearing. The commission compiled with that request. Simpson moved that the commission "make an immediate order granting the increase as sought to the extent that it is not covered by disputed items placed in evidence in this hearing." One of the numerous protestants argued that the 12 per cent increase would cause a diversion of freight from the railroads to other modes of transportation.

He proposed that the temporary increase by only six per cent. The increased rated include trailer-on-flat-car rates. i I.
