ADVISORY COUNCIL
CHANGE PROPOSED
Benning Citizens Would Have
Associations Elect Men,
berS of Body.

Three vital changes in the organi-
zation of the Citizens Advisory Coun-
ell, described as designed to increase
its standing as the mouthpiece of the
voteleSs District residents by making
advocated last night by the Benning
Citizens Association.
The association adopted a resolution
approving the council and its work
and calling for its enlargement, cleo
ton of its members by the various
citizens associations rather than by
the delegates of the associations to the
Federation of Citizens Associations
and election of the president OF the
advisory council by its own members.
Under the present system. the head
Of the federation is president Of the
council by virtue of his federation
office.
Warner Stutler, delegate of the
association to the federation, who pro
posed the resolution, declared the
election of the council by the members
of the associations themselves would
have the effect of increasing the at
tendence and membership of the
neighborhood organizations and thus
would result in a more perfect repre-
sentation OF the Districts desires than
is now possible.
The Benning association has in
dorsed DIR. George {. Havenner. preSi-
dent of the Anacostia association, for
the Advisory Council.
The proposed Sunday blue law for
the District was denounced during a
prolonged discussion.

MUSIC
MISS WINsTON's RECITAL.

Elizabeth Winston, one of the most
promising of the young pianlsts or
Washington, gave a program IN the
small ballroom of the Willard Hotel
last night, which showed excellent
taste in the numbers chosen and both
talent and muSicianship in their IN
depreciation. The audience, which
filled the ballroom, included many well
known in Washington music circles,
as we'll as a large number or piano
students.
Miss Winston has a clear, firm
method of. playing that is a real de-
light. She shows perfect poise when
at the piano and a workmanlike attl-
tude. Her touch is decisive and her
tone crystal clear. 1t is so clear that
there are moments when it lacks the
warmth and color that some of the
compositions might demand. Such
was true of the Schumann sonata
Opus 22." The underlying mellow
beauty Of that master of lyrical com
nosition was not clearly brought out
II seemed as though the young pl-
anist had not yet quite grasped the
full meaning of that musical .tale, al
though her technical knowledge OF
the work was thorough and here ana
theres she played difficult passages
with underStanuihS.
The Scarlatti "Capriccio,' which
opened the program, was charming
and given with due regard for the
opportunities that the f1orid old ltal-
ian style of writing offered. The Cho-
pin group also was nicely interpreted.
especially the "Nocturne. Opus 62.
In the "Fantasie in F Minor that
particular tsarin of which Rock ,a-bye,
Baby" was fashioned was prettily en-
phasized
1t was in the third group that Miss
Winston appeared at her best. The
Juon "Naiads at the Spring" was eX-
quisitely played, with feathery, light
tones and complete control of the diff
ficult swift notes. The audience was

X. DEANE SHURE'S RECITAL.
Draws Largest Audience to Date to

Every seat in the charming cham
ber music auditorium of the Library
of Congress was filled and many stood
in the rear of the hall to hear r.
Deane Shure's program given there
Tuesday night. Many others were
unable to get in the crowded audi
torium. This was the third in the
series of organ recitals presented dur
ing the Lenten season under the di-
rection of Mr.. Putnam. the librarian,
and Carl Engel. chief of the music
division. The unusual increase in the
audience proved the popularity of
these recitals as well as The consider
able personal following that Mr.. Shure
has acquired in Washington. He is
dean of music at the American Uni
versity as well as director of music
at Mount Vernon NJ. T.. Church,

The program seemed greatly appre-
ciated by the audience at large, espe-
cially warm applause being given Mr..

she could stop and take up the mu-

Red-Baiter Leary
Especial to The Daily worker)

PASSAIC, N. j., June IA. - In an
open letter to the New York World,
Albert Weisbord, leader of the Passaic
textile strike exposes the methods of
John ]. Leary, Jr., a so-called labor
expert" and reputed to be member of
the United States department of just
ice. The statement follows:
"In a statement to the press, Will
liam E. G. Batty of the American Fed
Grafton of Textile Operatives and
chairman of the Publicity Committee
of the Unity Conference called by the
Federated Textile Unions last Satur-
day and Sunday, branded as false the
statement made by John ]. Leary, Jr.,
the labor expert of the New York
World.
"Mr. Leary had stated, altho he was
not present at the meeting and did not
know anything about it, that in the
meeting Weisbord had proposed a
plan for calling sympathetic strikes,
which plan was turned down by the
, conference and to which Brother
Fanny of the American Federated
Textile Operatives was bitterly op-
posed. Brother Batty points out that
nothing could be further from the
truth and that the reporters stating
this were wildly using their imagina-
ton. All action taken at the confer
ence was unanimous and a hearty
spirit of cordiality prevailed.
ut seems strange that the New
York Worlds a liberal paper, should
continue to have in its employ one
who is reputed to be member of the
department of justice and who writes
such deliberately false articles. Mr.
Leary is being repudiated by the
American Federation of Labor and by
every decent labor organization that
knows what his tactics are"
