No Easy Road, Casey Says (Continued From Pag Three) He stated with firmness that he has no understanding with Philadelphia Mayor James Tate and would never seek the aid of anyone who would try to control "Youve got to be yourself," he added. Casey took the position that the endorsed candidate cannot be financed by the state committee if recommended and if this comes about must go to the voters seeking support on his record. He denied that his moves as state auditor general in attacking some of the programs of the Shafer Administration were politically motivated. Asked about a $42,000 bill in dispute with Keisling Associates for public relations work in behalf of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, Casey said if the bill is in order it should be paid.

Casey said the Shafer Administration has the perfect right to hire the firm and there is no legal reason why payment should be withheld. Caseys statement disagreed with the position being taken by State Treasurer Grace Sloan, also a Democrat. As to the need of a state income tax. Casey said his position would be made clear if and when he announces his candidacy. He said revenue is the problem of the General Assembly and Governor Shafer.

If I become a candidate on the statewide ticket" was the nearest Casey came to his planned intentions.

U.S. Secretary of the Treasury David M. Kennedy is ex-' pected to concentrate on this new gold problem during his current round of talks with European finance ministers and central bankers. He confers here with British officials Saturday. On the free markets in London, Zurich and Frankfurt gold was selling at new lows, only slightly above the $35 an ounce rate at which government central banks exchange the metal.

Bankers say that if the free market price falls below $35, the present two-tier system for selling gold may have to be revised. The problem now is exactly the opposite of the one faced 22 months ago during a speculative rush into gold, when the free markets were established. At that time, speculators were exchanging paper money for gold, hoping for an increase in the official price and a quick profit. Government banks had to dip Into gold reserves to meet the demand for the metal. Their -paper money weakened as they out the gold reserves backing it.

The United States opposed 'raising the official price of gold because this would have devalued the dollar and other paper money. The problem now is that if 'gold dips below $35 an ounce on the free markets, some central banks may be tempted to buy cheaply there and sell for a profit at the official rate, imperiling the two-tier system.

The ensemble included Patrice Green, Laura Ann Phillips, Miss Rippon, Iris Dillon and Dolly Warrick, all students, all giggly, all boy-crazy, and alt romantics. The boys. Jay Hughes, Ed Corazzini, John Gallucci and Louis Rugletic, performed as most boys do they wanted the girls. The group singing and dance numbers were especially well done.

In the beginning, the cast seemed a little unsure, but shortly after they were on their own pleasure and confidence were easily noted. The New Group Nine, composed of Harold Van Hise, Ken Ganzer, Robin Reninger, Bill Williams, Richard George Slimak, Patrick Mar-cinko and David Moser, all instrumentalists, with Kevin OBoyle at the piano, proved a highly effective adjunct to the musical production. Capably conducted, by -young James Ferrario, a prominent area musician in his own right, the group synchronized well throughout. If any criticism be voiced. It might be said the music was a bit too loud at times, partially obliterating the voices of the performers.

This, too, improved, however, as the play went on. The production was directed by Robert J. Dinner, and performers and audience united for upwards of 90 minutes of enjoyment. The performance will be repeated tonight and Sunday night at 8:30 oclock.

Carol Reynolds directs the -'New Group. The three-act musical, written by Sandy Wilson, is a gay, flirtatious flashback to the flapper It is packed with good music, snappy dialogue and excellent dance routines. The New Groups well-cast performers brought the busy production into proper focus amidst all sorts of diversions young love, class-consciousness mistaken identities, frivolous girls and inquisitive boys. There is a generous amount of humor, some excellent singing, both group and solo; brilliant costuming, highly attractive sets, fine lighting and outstanding orchestral a m-paniment. Roewena Mirtz, as Polly" and Tony Murphy, as Tony," were the personable, star crossed young romantics.

Polly as the darling but rather neglected daughter of a rich father, Dr. Peter Cupple; Tony, the titled son of Lord and Lady Brockhurst, played to a nicety by Art Hughes and Elaine Green. His father, hopelessly enmeshed in the clutches of omineering, dowdily-dressed, worrisome, wife, kept straining at the leash for a little personal excitement when exposed to the several Perfect Young Ladies attending the private French girls school. Polly was a student, and Tony, a runaway from Oxford University, bored by the stuffed-shirted English life, turned up as messenger from a fashionable costumers shoppe. And the fun began.

Betty Fragin, as Madame Dubonnet, the Schoolmistress was splendid as the understanding woman "in affairs of the heart. It developed she had known Pollys father, played cooly by Dr. Cupple, in other surroundings earlier in life and they had had a little something going at that time. Miss Fragin and Dr. Cupple displayed histrionic abilities of some note, and in their songs, they came on well.

Miss Fragin, of course, is well known among Scrantons music community Lu Ann Rippon and Len Fox, another attractive young twosome, also turned in on some romance, and Miss Rippon added another dimension to her already well-known ability as a dancer.

Bryant, the state commissioner of banking and insurance, who emphasized that it was only a request and not an approval. Bryant approved temporary rate hike, which went into effect December 1, after Blue Cross asked for a 44.3 per cent increase to offset rising hospital costs. That original increase was scheduled to go into effect in October.

Blue Cross said in statement circulated with the reequest that it now has an operating deficit of about $18 million, which it says will grow to $22 million by May 1. It also claimed that its reserves dropped last June below the $100,000 limit required by state law. The request for the 35 per cent increase would be in addition to the temporary 28 per cent increase, leaving a total, if the rate hike is approved, more than 73 per cent higher than what the payments were a year ago. The total 73 per cent hike comes from adding the two increases compounded by the difference in the periods over which the two rate hikes would take effect.
