New York, Feb. 27.--A bride and groom m-to-be--Abby Rockefeller and David NJ.

 The couple are going to live with in Milton's modest income, Abby will manage her own household, do part Of her own housework and keep a budget. They will do without a car at first but hope 10 have one later.
 And Abby will be well able 10 do all of that, her father, John D. Rockefeller. Jr, yesterday said through a spokesman, because he had trained his daughter and her brothers to know the value of money; so that they might meet the problems life will present when they must act for themselves"
 Ten Gents a Week
 While she was being envied as one of the richest youngsters in the world. Miss Abby, aged z, had exact ly ten cents a week which she might squander. Her total allow ance was 30 cents but she was taught to save ten cents and put the other dime in'the Sunday school collection plate.
 None of the Rockefeller children had more than two dollars a week which they might call their own be- fore they were 15; before and since that time. they have been required 10 keep accounts Of their eXpendi- lures by their father who penalized or rewarded them by the accuracy of the accounts which he always audited.
 Later Abby has had a larger all lowance-but she was compelled to provide her own clothes, entertain ment and travel from it-and keep the accounts. So that now her fath- CT feels that she is self-reliant, Knows the value of money" and is able to assume the responsibilities of a housewife.
 How Money Was Handled
 T have no thought of giving great amounts of money to my chil- dren to use in accordance with any passing mood" Abbey's father was quoted.
 ''Of course I do not mean that any of the children are to be cramped for need of funds for any worthy enterprise. There will be trust funds available upon which they can draw in accordance with the merit they show and their abil- ity to handle large enterprises"
 It was explained that, of the 30. felIer children had at the age ot seven and eight, 10 cents was to bt saved, 10 to be given to church ol Sunday school, and all the rest nigh be spent.
 T explained to them the import ance of keeping accounts" MT Rockefeller was quoted. At tht end of each week I audited the ac counts.
 "A few years later they got S1 { week, and to teach acCdracy re wards and demerits were given. the account was correct the chilt received s1.05 the following week $1.1o the next, and so on. If in correct, only 95 cents. then 90, thel S5 and so on was the allowance re duced.

King Boris has refused to confirm prisoners dcath-sentence, This attitude he has maintained despite the insistence of the judicial and police authori- ties that the interests of the state would be best served by the carrying out of the death penalty.

Willing to Pay

There is no argument with the
American Society of Composers. Au-
thors and Publishers. which controls
most and the nest copyright music,
over the question of payment for
broadcasting music under its con-
-rol. All broadcasters are ready to
pay for what they use.
The fight Certe about the meth
cd ana amount OF payment. At
present the broadcasters object, they
are tied down to years contract
heir music will be next year or
succeeding years.
They object to the method of APP
plying rates in accordance with the
whims of the composers. backed by
the present copyright law. To come
to some sound basis of agreement,
therefore. the broadcasters suggest
that the same principle employed in
extracting royalties from the phono-
graph record and music rool pro-
ducers be applied to them.
BY congressional enactment
definite royalty fee is provided for
each record or roll produced. and
this can not be changed. Although
definite fee can not be set for
song each time ii is broadcast. be-
cause Of the many limitations in this
field, the broadcasters say the priu-
ciple itself could be applied.
Investigating Possibilities
In the meantime one of the largest
broadcasting organizations is in
vestigating the possibilities of broad
casting music, both modern and
classic. without payment of royal
ties. IL is making a thorough study
of the copyright limits for definite
classic composers and their music,
and are finding many pieces avail
able.
For instance. it was discovered
that only four Verdi selections. all in
the Falstaff group, were the only
pieces of his music that was copy
right. The broadcasters therefore
find themselves in position to use
all Verdi music except the four that
are actually copyright.
The investigation has many rami-
fications in the course of which
many good pieces are found avail
able.
But the broadcasters want TO come
to an equitable and reasonable agree
ment with the composers, because
the society controls the productions
of the best modern song writers, as
well as many of the classics.
