THEATRE WEEK Dore Schory Debuting As Broadway Director By WILLIAM GLOVER Associated Press Drama Writer NEW YORK Schary is getting what he 18 years as a show business bigwig. The event rousing his jubilation is arrival on Broadway Monday night of the comedy "A Majority of One." "This is my first job of directing for the stage," says Schary, Yand the first time I've ever di- tected anything completely. Which is all very interesting, because directing is what .1 started out to do in the first place." The event provides a sort of exclamation point to the bustling new theatrical career of the lithe, bespectacled and energetic man who in 1956 stepped out as production head of MGM Hollywood's biggest film studio. "I'm doing now only the things that I want to do," he reports, "without having to take on what I don't want to do." Schary, 53, has been building up headsteam on Broadway since arrival last season as author and co- producer of the still-running smash hit, "Sunrise at Campobello." Having temporarily slaked his directorial thirst, Schary faces an array of other ventures. These in- clude completion of a play, "The Highest Tree," slated for exhibit next fall, coproduction with the Theatre Guild of a musical, "The "Unsinkable Mrs.

and basic work on five television spectaculars about the Civil War which he is to do for NBC. Just prior to "A Majority of One" assignment, Schary completed his first independent tin ema production, "Lonelyhearts," which he also scripted. In April he will do a television appearance on "Blueprint for Biography." "I am able to keep them separate," he explains. "I am able to move from one to another." Then he analyzes his Broadway objectives: "I want to function essentially as a writer and-or director and not as a solo producer. My association with the Guild as a co- producer is a wonderful idea.

I don't have to build a whole plant from scratch. "I feel that Broadway has been stabilized in the last few years. There's-an urgency and tension on both sides of the footlights. "The film industry right now is going through painful retooling new world for old timers. Those who have not-been spoiled 'by the experience of the past will do'it.

Mathews, Deport, and Mrs. George H. Thompson, Paris, Flood Threats Appear Easing By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The farming area near Oaktown, became the main center of activity along the flooded Wabash River today as the danger in upstream communities appeared easing. National Guardsmen were sent by Gov. Harold W.

Handley into the Oaktown area, about 40 miles south of Terre Haute, to strengthen an old'levee. A break in the levee would flood thousands of acres of farm land. Dry weather prevailed hi the flood zones and also in wide areas throughout the country east of the, Rockies. The country's wettest region was in the Pacific Coast. Officials in the flood sections of Indiana, which forced some 1,700 families from their homes last week, said barring heavy rains, the worst of the overflows appeared ended.

However, Weather Bureau officials said it would be two weeks before the Wabash falls below flood stage at West Terre Haute. A temporary dike of sandbags held Sunday against another small rise in the swollen river. A huge ice jam remained near Delphi although thawing temperatures over the weekend dislodged some big chunks. Cooler weather moved into two separate sections east of the Continental Divide. Temperatures dropped in most areas from eastern Texas and the Gulf Coast to the Ohio River and to all of the Atlantic Seaboard except Florida.

Biggest drops were in New England, where readings were below zero in northern sections. A second cold front extended from areas in Montana east of the Divide and into the Dakotas. The cold air headed into the central plains and eastward to the upper and' middle Mississippi Valleys and the upper Great Lakes region.

Lobbyists Hosted $5,000 in Lunches During January AUSTIN (AP)-Right now it looks like lobbyists bought about $5,000 worth of lunches for Texas legislators during January. The deadline for reporting last month's expenses in working for or against any proposed law changes by registered lobbyists is midnight Sunday. Any mail received money with a study postmark will.be accepted by the chief clerk of the House, Dorothy Hallman, who has the job of keeping track of Texas' lobbyists.

Thus spoke an aged pensioner who refuses to leave this Swiss hamlet doomed to extinction as soon as a spring thaw sends, a million tons of rock, earth and ice hurtling down from a mountain peak 3,000 feet above. "We have faith, we trust in God," murmured Josef Burgner as he gazed, up at Nadelhorn Mountain where the frozen mass will become a thundering avalanche when it reaches the edge of the precipice.

The great mass began creeping down the Nadelhourn slope toward the precipice eight days ago. Friday a new cold spell set in, solidified the thawing snow and ice, and the movement stopped. Winter frosts immobilized the great slide over the weekend. But Herbriggen's end is certain when a prolonged thaw comes. Resigned to losing their homes, most of the villagers abandoned Herbriggen eight days ago.

But a small rear guard like the Burg- ners doggedly stayed on regardless of the creeping danger. 'CATS ON HOT TIN Prowlers were as sly as cats Saturday night. In fact they were cats. Paris police received a call from a Paris woman on East Polk Street Saturday night that she heard strange noises in the alley to the rear of her house. A patrol car was sent to the scene and officers found nothing.

About 30 minutes later the same lady called and said the noises were still there. This time the police found the prowlers six cats scratching around on top of a flat roof. Case closed. Anti-Trust Law Strengthening Seen in Bill AUSTIN (AP) Sen. Charles Herring of Austin said today he proposed to strengthen the state's anti-trust laws to free retailers from unfair restrictions by wholesalers and manufacturers.

Herring's bill would make it unlawful to limit products a retailer can sell. It would also make it illegal for any corporation to prevent a purchaser or licensee from displaying goods available from another firm or this does." Herring said, "without naming any names, is prevent the manufacturer of Brand A from telling a store they can't sell Brand in the same store." Herring said no particular group had asked for the bill. "I just introduced it to protect the public." Present anti-lrust laws may be broad enough to cover such abuses. Herring said, "but they haven't been interpreted that way." Herring said a similar bill was introduced several sessions ago, but failed by a narrow margin to secure approval. Situations in which a retailer is prohibited from carrying competing products "tend to create monopolies within an industry," Herring said, and should be prevented.

"Coercion is restraining trade and limiting, restricting and eliminating competition to the injury of many Citizens of Texas and to the injury of the state itself," Her- rring said. A death watch is being kept over the village by a network of watchers high on neighboring mountain slopes. They will sound an alarm 'if they see the avalanche hours, days or weeks. Some of the posts are equipped with walkie-talkies, one has a portable siren. Burgner was matter of fact about the.

"If the rocks, break up during their fall, they.may fly about in every direction," he said. "The slide would not go down the corridor in the precipice as everybody seems to believe. It would spread instead and cover a part of the valley." There are young and old among those who have stayed behind. They go about their business as though nothing happened. Thef feed the few cats and left behind.

From time to time they leave their houses, walking through empty streets, looking up at the mountain. They read about their danger once a day. The narrow-gauge rail line up to Zermatt brings theni the German-language newspaper read in the Mattertal Valley. Occasionally a hugh descends over the bare and deserted hamlet. The wind and distant noises from the mountains cease.

There is sudden stillness on the village streets. "We live in fear and we don't sleep any more," murmured Burgner's wife. She dandled a neighbor's child on her knee while his mother sought food in the remaining grocery store. "If we could hear the slide coming," said Burgner, "we would go down to the we have time. It would be useless to run outside anyway." When the slide does come, it will be the second time the Burg- ners have lost their home.

Residents of southern France for many years, they returned to his native Herbriggen when France fell during World War II. Pertni- less in 1942, he and his wife worked hard, bought their own home and raised their three children. All are grown and away from home now. Lawmen Probe Burglaries Paris and Lamar County law enforcement officers began a new week Monday with investigatio of three weekend burglaries. Two burglaries were report to Paris police early Monday morning.

One was at the Seven-Up Bottling Company 500 East Aust i n. and the other at Smith Wrecking Yard on North Main Street.
