Today's Features

So far We have failed to notice any of the heralded impetus sup posed to be gi"en to the observance ! of the national musical week. How ever, we have noticed a gradual de- cay of the average types of pro- grams usually broadcast. They're not up to standard. The only real broad cast since Sunday that really did add impetus to the national observ- ! ance was the farewell concert of the FIonzaley quartet on Tuesday night. There is nothing in the long string of features scheduled for today that would be worthy of stressing or sug- gestins to the radio audience. But. beggars cant be choosers and in this case, the listeners are the beggars and have to take what's coming. We'll in the first place there is long list of FrimI numbers on a program scheduled for 7:3O over WEAF and WTlC. If you care for the much-repeated numbers. you might get kick out of such num- bers as "Intermezzo," 'Oriental," "A Love Song" and "Valse Lucille" all by Friml. and Hume's White Lilies" Anderson's Just Someone, Mckenna's Dearest Girl of Them All" and Ayers 'If You Were the Only Girl in the World"
 At lo:30 the National Broadcast ing and Concert bureau will offer as its contribution to the national mu- sic week. . group of native Amer ican Indian songs by a full-blooded Indian princess and an Indian chief tain. Princess Atalie and Chief White Horn will be the featured artists and Godfrey O'Hara will act as master of ceremonies. Effective orchestral accompaniment and special tom-tom rhythms will be furnished by large concert orchestra. This broadcast may be heard over WEAF and WGY.
 WIZ and WBZ will offer a mu- sical program of semi popular airs at 3 o'clock by an orchestra under the direction of Gus Haenschen as-
 
 sisted by Muriel Pollack and Wee Lawnhurst, pianists: vocal trio: Emily Wooley, contralto and Frank Luther. teI.or. The program includes selections from the new musica! comedy show Music in May" Gri- sclle's Two American Sketches" Louise ' Alabama Snow" Sing ing the Blues" Open lip Them Pearly Gates Building Nest for ! Mary" and "Nobodys Fault but Your Own.''

After opposition led by William Lansky. Fremont street storekeep- CT. had blocked the petition of Con- cettina Sapia for permission to re- open q store on that street, at the adjustment board meeting last night. Mrs. Sapia and her daugher engaged Lansky in a bitter argument. and when they reached the ante-room O. the mayors office; 8 female fist whizzed by the butchers face, mar rowly missing its mark.
 The petitioner. through Attorney A. g. Aharonian. set forth that her property has not sufficient income tn meet the costs of interest. taxes, etc, and that it is necessary for her to engage in small business to carry the property along.
 I.ansky answered that there are already several stores on the street which are doing far from prosper ous business, and if another is al- lower none will make living. He argued the right of those already in the field. to a living.
 A petition of objection, signed by .3 property owners, was read. Ii was voted to reject the petition. Riley Petition Denied
 An extension of the business zone at Allen and Carlton streets. asked by George J. Riley. was denied and went off the docket where it had stood for several months. An appeal to the superior court has been taken and the discussion will be resumed before that tribunal.
 Riley is the owner of a plot of land on which business building TOW stands. occupying about one half of the land. He has not made known what his plans are for utiliza- tion of the unused one-half of the plot. which is now zoned for resi- dence purposes. but has asked that business be permitted. Neighbora insists Riley plans to place a gasoline filling station, but his attorney, Cyril J. Gaffney says no plans have been made for this or any other type ot business.
 Riley claims the portion of the land which stands idle is not large enough for a dwelling. and that he will be deprived of his property fights. if he is not permitted to ex- tend the business building.

TOM MIX INDICTED
 l FOR. TAX LODGING
Federal Officers Pry Into Affairs
 of Other Movie Stars

Los Angeles. May s.-tR-The in- dictment of Tom Mix, cowboy movie star, on charges of falsifying income tax returns for three year period during which his earnings apparent ly averaged nearly S40,00O annually. l spurred federal investigators onward here today in their attempt to un- cover other alleged tax lodging by l notables of the screen.
 Mix and three others were named in three indictments returned yes- terday. In Minneapolis. where the actor and his famous horse. Tony. ! were appearing in vaudeville. Mix | declared that he had not intention ally defrauded the government and that he had left his income tax af- fairs in the hands of an expert. | Announcement has been made that Mix was through with the movies, which during 1927 brought
 him salary of s7.5OO a week in addition to royalties. Representa- tves of the actor announced that they would post a bond of $l5,000 in his behalf at once.
 ! The indictments charge that Mix conspired to withhold $l12,l14.11 due as income tax during 1925, 1926, and 1927. During these years the 1 actors gross income was given in the indictment as $345.09172 for 1925: s4o5.020.14 for 1926. and sI2,64o.06 for 1927. The govern- l ment did not allege that the gross income had been misreprcsented but 1 charged that the deductions of 3164,- 5?S.24: SlS9.272.3., and S144.60o.45 for the three respective years were 1 excessive
 Indicted with Mix were Miss P. Marjorie Berger, Hollywood income tax adviser. who faced previous in dictment in connection with income tax reports of other film stars; John D. Hill. former publicity agent for Mix. and Eugene J. Forde. the act or's brother-in-law.
 Conspiracy Alleged
  It was alleged that Mix. Miss Der ger. Forde and Hill conspired to charge off sums as disbursements, With the understanding that Mix later would be repaid. Among these amounts 1t is claimed Forde filed a return showing he received sl2.- 900 year as business manager from Mix. which the government charges was not actually paid. Similarly it is alleged Hill was misrepresented as receiving s15.o0O from Mix as pub- licity agent
 Assistant United States Attorney Ames Peterson, who gathered the in- formation upon which the indict- ments were based. declared that the government had lost nearly S1o,ooo.. 900 due as income tax in the Holly wood area in recent years because of alleged fraudulent returns. He indi- cated that indictments against other film stars would follow.

 ps,t = osess ef naress. Tsanis >Lasreas.

New York, May ! (uP)-William T. Tilden H. and Francis T. Hunter, Nos. and ranking tennis stars of the United States. sailed at midnight last night for . tour of European courts.
 Unless requested to participate in the American Davis Cup matches in Europe. the pair plan to return to this country July 15. In the event that the United States is victorious in the American zone and advances to meet France in the challenge round for the cup, there is a pos- sibility that both men may be asked to play on the American squad. If so they will return Aug. 5, they said.
 Hunter predicted q clean sweep for the American Davis Cup team in the American zone before sailing. but Tilden was not 10 sure. He de. clared he had no way of judging the strength of the American team hav- ing worked out with them only twice.
