by the Passionist Fathers who
planned to make him a specialist
in church music.
But Lopez, who even today takes
great pleasure in arranging music
programs for church events, left
the Fathers to make a living as a
musician to the laity.
He began humping the worries
in cheap dance halls AMI cafes,
working up to the Pek,n Chop
Suey Cabaret on Broadway. While
he was playing there he came
under the observation Of Pat
Rooney and was engaged by that
entertainer as musical director of
Rings of Smoke"
From that day Broadway and
the musical world has watched the
meteoric career OF Lopez.

Friends School has been telling us

Voices From WRC.
A voice came out of WRC last
night that fascinated with its

What American boy or girl is

how communication probably would

T There was no doubt but what
the chord would be develoned then
into the chorus of ''Marcheta."
Another voice from the "Voice of
the Capital" that fascinated us was
that OF Dorothy d. Wilson. We
can't remember ever having heard
her in a recital before, but we
should have. She sings unusually
well.

ON MUSCLE SHOALS
Senator Underwood Decides
to Withhold Bill Designed
to Solve Problem.

A new bid for Muscle Shoals. SINH
lar to that of Henry Ford, which has
been withdrawn, is expected by Sena-
tor Underwood, Democrat, of Ala
bama, and he has decided to withhold
a bill under preparation for the time
being.
II this new bid should not ma
terialize. Senator Underwood assert
ed, he would then introduce his bill,
which he is now preparing and
which would have the Endorsement OF
the Southern Senators. at the short
session of Congress. He said he be-
lieved the best solution for the Mus
Gle Shoals problem was along the
lines contained In Ford's bid.
The main function for Muscle
Shoals. the Alabama Senator declared,
Is national defense. Muscle Shoals
was built primarily for the produc-
tion of nitrogen for the manufacture
OF ammunition, and since a plant
must be ready for operation. he said
IL was logical to convert the nitrogen
into fertilizer in time of peace for the
farmers.
He said he did not think the distri-
button of power should receive seri-
Gus consideration. because If Muscle
Shoals Is developed along the lines
for which it was originally intended
there would be only a small amount
of surplus power.
