EDITORIALS ln the Service of Melpomene by Roman J. Lysniak in past years, and as late as 1940's, the excellence of a Sheer Hell drama or tragedy, staged by provincial theaters in wes– tern Ukraine, was measured by the volume of sobs and tears it elicited from the audiences. Ukrainian theater- Yosyp Terelya, whom Jack Anderson calls in his column "another goers in the provinces used to say: "Such and such Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn crying out to us from deep within the Soviet prison drama or tragedy was simply wonderful, it was superb: system," describes that system as one that "would have been the envy of Dante a woman actually fainted, they had to carry her out. for characters and descriptions of scenes from hell." You ought to have heard how the audience sobbed!" Terelya is a 34-year-old Ukrainian poet who has spent 14 years in Soviet in order to ensure success, it was customary for the prisons and psychiatric wards where he is being "cured" from two addictions, theater's impressario to hire a woman or two, who would as Mr. Anderson describes in his recent column: first, "he is a Ukrainian, a faint at each presentation of a drama or tragedy at an proud breed of 50 million people who refuse to abandon their ancient culture; appropriate time. This practice also met with the appro– val of the leading actors and actresses, who benefitted second, he is a member of the Ukrainian Uniate.(Catholic) Church, which tremendously from it. places God ahead of the state." The late ivan Kohutiak, impressario of the Ukrainian Mr. Anderson guesses right that it was Terelya's ability to express his views theater in the city of Kolomyia, where yours truly had in "stirring language" that bothered the KGB, which has hunted him for 14 attended secondary school, was a master at staging individual and mass sobbings, years now. faintings and hysteria scenes during the performance 6f a drama or tragedy.

The woman dozed off in her balcony seat.

Terelya's is the latest cry from the dark abyss of the Moscow ruled empire. The noise and confusion that followed this ill-timed display of emotion nearly We also remember Oksana Popovych, an invalid coughing with blood; we broke off the performance, impressario Kohutiak was so frenzied with rage that recall the walking skeleton of valentyn Moroz; and fresh in the memory are he could hardly talk. the mutilated hands of ivan Svitlychny. Will the West hear their cries? is there At the next performance of the drama, impressario ivan Kohutiak decided not conscience left in the civilized world? That, after all, is their sole hope. to take any chances with hired women. He ordered his stage manager to dress like a woman and do the fainting. At the next performance the faithful stage manager was on the job, in female apparel, and sure enough, he fainted during the most tragic scene. Whereupon a ii few kind-hearted women from the audience in the balcony carried the limp body into the rest room, sprinkled cold water on "her" face, and proceeded to strip "Stop Lying, Brezhnev" "her" clothes. But, lo and behold, to the horror of the benevolent ladies, it soon became apparent that "she" was not a woman, but a man! it is in this direct manner that Heli Snehiriov, a Ukrainian writer from Kiev, has urged President Carter to address Leonid Brezhnev on the Philadelphians to Have UNA Day questions of disarmament and human rights.

Moreover, as Whose Shoes Are You Wearing? he states, the appeal reflects the mood and the hopes of many people. We are certain that these hopes are monitored in Washington and that they are (i) scrutinized.
