Washing&om Letter
By CHARLES P. sTEwAR'

JUST HOW PROSPEROUS is U. s.,
WASHINGTON, March l5.--Just
how generally prosperous this nation
is, is a question that's getting to be .
good deal argued about IN Washing
ton.
, That there's an unprecedented
mount Of prosperity IN the country
isn't disputed By any5cdy, but that
there isn't a very satisfactory dis
tribution Of il is a complaint that's
been reaching the capital In increas-

It's a rather ticklish subject, not

want-has been said and done 70

extremely well off, but it's evident
that large numbers Of them, biased
bv mortgage foreclosures and such
influences, stubbcrnly refuse to be-
lieve il.
Thus we start orr with 4 third or
the population, unable to see pros
perity" with a searchlight.
Nobody pretends that the white
collar worker has been prosperous
since the war-that his income has
risen anywhere nearly in proportion
to the advance in the cost Of living
Neither does anybody pretend that
the soft coal and textile industries
are prospecting.

rank and file Of "labor." certainly

OF New York, First district. He has been L. s.
senator from New York since 1920.

who venture TO focus attention on the unsolved unem-
ployment problem. But it is one that must be faced.

sion: "Yes, we have unemployment; why not admit it,"
Meanwhile. there comes from private sources the

If ii is true that 100000 men are out or work, IL
means that one Of every ten OF our wage earners Is in
idleness. I can only surmise how many are dependent
upon that 100000. Some say it represents n total pop
lulatlon, men, women ana chlidren, OF lZ,OUO.00O people,
or more than the combined population Of the first eight

Roland Hayes
Gives Remarkable
Concertin in Russia

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 9-CSpe-
ciaD Roland Hayes, according to a
telegraphic communication from
Moscow, has made a profound i'm
preston upon his first audience of
Russian workers and peasants. The
famous tenor journeyed to Moscow,
where he sang at the invitation of
the Russian government. The clas-
steal part of his program was re.
ceived with great enthusiasm and
when he sang Negro spirituals this
public, drawn from a people of poi
gnant folk songs, gave him an ova-
ton such as is rarely II ever
known in the concert halls of pres
entday Moscow.
Italy and Holland, as well as
Russia. first heard the remarkable
singing of Roland Hayes this sea-
son. After four tours of America
he has devoted the present concert
season to a tour of Europe, to which
he owes so large a part of his early
recognition. Roland Hayes has Civ
en- recitals in England, France and
Germany. He will sing in various
eastern European cities this spring.
Next autumn Roland Hayes will
return to America to make his fifth
tour of his own country.

Mixed Couple
Are Married
Despite Threats

ROCKVILLE, Conn, Feb. S.-Ef-
forts of the local Ku Klux Klan to
prevent the marriage of Beatrice
Fuller, 10 years old a white girl and
Clarence Kellem Negro failed today
when Carl A. Goehring of Ellington,
justice of the peace, performed the
ceremony after the couple had tried
in vain to be married Monday by the
Rev. George S. Brooke pastor of the
Union Congregational Church.
Rev. Brooke had previously prom
ised to perform the ceremony but re-
fused after hearing protests from
members of his church. In an at
tempt to frighten Kellum the Kan
erected large flaming cross near his
home and also sent him warnings by
mail and telephone. Kellem answer
ed their threats by inserting a notice
in the local paper that he intended to
marry the girl and would shoot any,
one who molested him. Kellem has
the backing of the civic authorities
and the better class of white citizens.
Miss Fuller claims to be q direct
descendant of Union general and
traces her lineage back to the colo
nists who landed from the Mayflow-
er. Kellem, an employe of a dye
manufacturing plant lives with his
stepmother, who is white. His own
mother, he says, was also white.
