Your apostrophic editorial of last Friday concerning the crack-down on Sean O'Casey's play, written in understandable indignation at Boston's occasional stupidity in the matter of censorship, runs a little wild in matters of fact.

In his hand was a rickety green-painted guitar held...
Wearing overalls and a blue hickory shirt over a yellow one, Lead Belly sang in Manhattan last week for University of Texas alumni. And John Lomax was nervous. Theatrical agents and radio scouts insisted on hearing his protege, who had been out on a wild 24-hour rampage in Harlem.
