Interesting News From Former Birmingham
 Musician

Birmingham people always enjoy hearing of their fellow townsmen and MT. John Cathey's many friends will be delighted to know of the inter- esting time he Is having in New York city. where he now lives.
 Mir. Cathey, one of Birmingham's most accomplished pianists and former member of the faculty of the Birmingham Conservatory of Music, of which Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen is the director, writes from New York to friends here of hearing Beryl Rubinstein, the distinguished young pianist, who Is so pleasantly remembered during his Master Class" held here last summer at the Birmingham Conservatory of Music, and also his brilliant recital.
 Among other things MT. Cathey says:
 "Beryl Rubinstein played at Aeo- Han hall this afternoon. Of course, I was there and listened well. He played beautifully. The hall was well filled-the audience most cordial. The entire program found the listeners pleased If applause is any indication. To tell the truth I watched the au- dience as well as the performer so that l could give you true account of his reception. The boxes were quite filled with representative musicians and I should describe this behavior as quite enthusiastic. After the eallade he was compelled to give an enocre-he played Chopin waltz in F minor and at the end Of the program they would have kept him an hour had he been willing.
 If anyone plays Liszt well. BeryI Rubinsteln does. The Mazeppa Etuds was a revelation, though l preferred the compello which followed as an e,,core. I heard Joseph Hoffman a week ago and I confess to you that Rubinstein thrilled me more. There is something so compelling about his attack, his very contact with the Instrument, that makes me realize that he Is more in command of what fh before him than any pianist Lever heard before. That is a broad state nent but if it true. His stage de- pertinent I think most admirable. He Is right to the point and business like but I get no impression of calculat- ing or pedantic frame of mind. He Is modest and unassuming but digni- fled aplenty and so free from the pompous, heroic air that I see In other pianists.
 He was besieged with admirers and friends afterwards. Elizabeth shan non and I greeted him together ana know for at least moment Bfr- mingham was in his mind"

Federal Aid To Good
Roads Will Continue

The National Motorists Association

leading up to Federal appropriations
for good roads, is glad to report that
there will be no pack of money or au-
thority for the approval of highway
projects during the fiscal year ending

preparation bill, as just reported to
the House of Representatives, makes
provisions as follows:
For Federal Aid, 500, 900; for
Forest Roads and Trails, S3,OOO,OOO;
for the expenses o fthe Bureau Of
Public Roads, $473,4S0; total, S32'-
773,4S0.

ed a total expenditure of S65, OOO,VVo
for Federal aid purposes during the

officially authorizes the Secretary OIL
