BY the Associated Press
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa, April 12.-Wee
fingers of 5-year-old Patricia Anne
Samson moving across piano keys
have produced compositions which
critics said forecast a brilliant future.
Already she has half-dozen works to
her credit.
Although given no formal study by
her father, G. w. Samson, jr., in
structor of organ at Iowa State Teach
ers' College, Patricia Anne has been
granted full sway to creative impulse,
upon advice of Rudolph Ganz president
Of the Chicago Musical College.
Nearly half her life the child has sat
on the piano bench as much as her
parents allowed. Often. they said, she
has startled them by playing pieces she
has heard her fathers pupils prac-
ticing.
Among these are "The Fountain" by
BONN; Curious Story" by Heller;
The Infant Jesus" by Yon, and Mel
ody in B." by Padereswski.
Bye, Baby, Byelo," she sang the
morning after she first heard a visitor
at the Samson home sing it.
"She was born with the things that
most of us have to learn" said Alto
Freeman, piano instructor at Iowa
Teachers College. "She should develop
into a remarkable composer as well as
an outstanding pianist"
Away from the piano Patricia Anne
behaves as any other 5-year-old girl.
Dogs hold particular fascination for
her.

LA GUARD|A F[AYS
CYANAM|D LOBBY
Attempt to Revive Bill Would
Precipitate Scandal,
He Says.

Any attempt to revive the "Cyana-
mid bill" which would provide for leas-
ing of Muscle Shoals to the American
Cyanamid Corporation, will precipi-
tate the biggest scandal ever broken
IN Washington" Representative Fiorello
H. La Guardia, Republican of New
York, declared yesterday. He asserted
that the Senate lobby investigating
committee work had mot even scratched
the surface of the activities of that cor
poration to jam their bill through Con-
greSS."
Mr.. La Guardia charged that the lat
est plan OF the corporation to influence
members OF Congress is to have the
thousands of innocent investors" in
Muscle Shoals land write to members
of Congress demanding that the Cya-
namid bill be passed. He declared that
these people were being 'miSled a Sec
ond time because, as a matter of fact
II the Cyanamid bill passes, there will
be less men employed on the project
than on any other proposition"
The bill attacked by Mr.. La Guardia
is one of two before the House military
affairs committee, the other being the
Norris bill for governmental operation.
The former was reported by the COM
mittee during the last Congress, but
was never brought to the floor of the
House, according to Mr.. La Guardia,
because the background was so rotten
that they never dared to call it up."

chlnery worth $20,l21,429 last year.

POLICE WITHOUT CLUE
IN MYSTERIOUS FIRES
Two Youths Arrested in Vicinity of
Plants in Southeast Section
Released.

Police were without any clue last
night in the supposed incendiary fires
early yesterday, at the Langhor Box
Factory, 1859 One-HaH street. South
east, the adjoining Slattery Iron Works
and Clarence Silver Junk Yard at 1910
First street southeast. Two youths ar
rested in the vicinity shortly after the
fires, were released after being question
ed at No. 5 precinct.
The fire at the box factory started in
the rear yard and is estimated by the
proprietor, Theodore L. Langhor, to
have caused about $500 damage. The
blaze was famed by the wind to the
Slattery Iron Works, where it burned
the roof, and several windows were
damaged by the heat.
The other fire, in the junk yard of
Clarence Silver burned papers and
other material. A window was broken,
and Silver thought the fire might have
been started by Langhor through the
window. Damages he thought would be
about $1,000.
inspectors J. r. Gray and E. L. Jones
said they failed to find material which
might have caused spontaneous COM
bustion.
