at low rate of interest. and that no
dividends should be paid by these COM
panieS until loans are redeemed.
This suggestion appears to be a very
equitable one and if accepted, should
help the outstanding obligations of the
weaker carriers. although it may have
a somewhat unfavorable effect upon
their common stocks.
Production Increased.
Most of the plants of the Interna-
tional Harvester Co. will increase their
production and operating schedules, ac-
cordilg to Alexander Legge, president
In this way, the weekly earnings of the
company's employees will be materially
greater than they have been recently
when a higher wage scale was in force
Mr.. Legge expressed the hope that it
will be possible to maintain the in
creased operating schedules throughout
the Winter months.
If the dividends received from its
holdings of General Motors are not in
cluded the net profits of the Du Pont
Co. for the third quarter of this year
show an increase of almost 80 per cent
as compared with the CORRESPONDING
quarter of 1880. If account is taken of
the General Motors payment, the in
crease is only about 5 per cent.
Each share of Du Pont owns more
than nine-tenths of a share of General
Motors, so that the price of the former
minus General Motors is only about $32
a share, which must be regarded as a
rather reasonable appraisal considering
the highly diversified and profitable
activities of the company.
Prompted by the belief that laws will
soon be enacted in regard to the
separation Of securities affiliates from
banks, the Bankers Trust Co. has de-
cided to discontinue the bankers COM

ORCHESTRAPLAYS
 FINE PROGRAM
Cleveland Symphony Or- chestra in Community
 Concert Series
SOKOLOFF CONDUCTING

Factory, Music For Machines" by A. Mosolon was one of the outstand- ing numbers on the program of the Cleveland symphony orchestra at Buckingham hall Saturday night. As musical composition containing beauty and harmony of sound 1t has no appeal, but as q composition of merit, descriptive of what the title suggests, and as distinct musical novelty. 1t is full of interest to the musician. The discordant sounds and effects descriptive of the factory blare were cleverly worked out in the orchestration. MT Sokoloff, con ductor, explained the work in some detail. Where the horn playera sounded out their particular motif they stood up as required in the score. Otherwise the orchestration throughout the composition was in nOwise unusual. that is to say, no particular stunts were performed. The reproduction of machine sounds occurring were the whirling of dynamos. buzzing saws. rivet guns and other mechanical noises whicl; were realistically portrayed by the ensemble of instruments including piccolo. flutes. oboes, English horn.
 
 .Oons, other horns, bassoons, ket- tie drums, tuba. cymbals, bass drum, ta m tam, steel plate and strings.
 The Cleveland Symphony concert Saturday night was the last in the series sponsored by the Community Concert Course Of Waterbury The hall was practically filled Saturday night and MT Sokoloff and his men were given q splendid ovation. Their performance was the usual fine type that one can always expect from this group. Among their other offerings were the Brahms symphony. No 1. c Minor" with which they opened the program. The orchestra gave to this composition through all its movements fine reading. There was grandness noted in the prin- cipal theme. followed by q somc- what calm "andante sostenuto' in the second movement: the finale be- gan with an adagio tempo. inspiring and concluded in q grand and exult- ant climax.
 The Bach -Goedicke "Passacaglia' was played as q final number on the program. This old dance form was used by Bach with q sounding out of the theme by the bass with I |SucceSSlOn or cOntTapuHtdl NarHttioHS. The orchestral arrangement by Goedicke was finely interpreted by the orchestra. Wagner's Good Fri day Spelr' from "Parsifar' and the ballet music 'The School of the Fauns" by Pierne was offered as q contrast. This last named was joy ous and fantastic composition with q most pleasing blending of instru- ments bringing out the rare color effects of the composition. It goes without saying that the performance of the orchestra led by the capable Mir Sokoloff left nothing to be de- tired in the way of splendid interpre- tation and good musicianshiD.

Seek Four Infirmary
 Units Of Beds Each
Commission Points to Woeiu Lack of Hospalizati0n
 for Connecticut TubercuIars -

leaders of both parties during the recent campaign and from the rcso- lutions adopted by societies and off, | cials of all kinds during the past two years. nobody who reads can have failed to realize now. that not only we who are In the thick of the fight insist that the state must provide us with more beds. but that the whole state demands that this scandalously long waiting list of applicants for the sanatoria be abolished with the least possible delay and that there be such provision for the future as wall make impossible the recurrence of such shameful situation in proud, rich and generous Conncct- cut.
 Therefore. we will present for your consideration q bill asking for suitable appropriation for the three new infirmary units of 100 beds each. that are necessary for the ab- olition Of our present waiting lists and for fourth infirmary unit of 100 beds necessary to insure us insure us against another long wait ing list within the next few years. In considering this matter. 1t should be borne in mind that the amount of money now appropriated will probably not be available until next July, and that it will be more than q year later before the buildings will be ready for occupancy. Judg- ing from our recent experiences the waiting list by the autumn of 1882. will have grown much longer than 1t Is at present, and if we do not now provide more beds than seem necessary at this time. our supply of beds will again lag far behind the peoples demands.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-23

The report of the State Tubercu- losis commission filed with the gov l ernor contains much information which is no credit to the general as- l sembly. A state that Is able to care for it's needy citizens and ncglects to | do it cannot be said to represent the views of the masses. The commits | sion put the matter up to the officials in a manner which shows that they know where to place the blame. The following chapter from the report on the lack of bed accommodation tells the story eloquently:
 At this writing we have more than 400 tuberculous patients waiting for admission to the sanatoria.-more than 400 citizens of Connecticut sick with tuberculosis who realize that their only chance of escaping from the clutches of the monster that Is dragging them to their graves. lies in securing admission to the splendid institutions which their state has erected for their salvation. We have said so much on this subject in our last two reports that we- loath to dwell long on 1t in this report.
 The appeal in our last report was not entirely fruitless. Appropria- tions were made by the last gen eral assembly that enabled us to in crease the bed capacity of Laurel Heights by 100 beds and the capacity of Undercliff by 45 beds. But when all these beds are occupied. we will still have about $50 patients on our waiting list. The situation. there fore. demands that the general as- sembly give us an immediate appro- priatlon for at least one hundred bed units, two for Norwich and one for Hartford. or preferably. if future needs be considered. one unit for Hartford and two for Norwich. and one for shelton.
 We know that 1t is the sentiment of the people of the state that the committee on appropriations should give to the development of the tu- berculosis work of the state. and give generously, and as the wartime phrase was "give until 1t hurts. Judging from the statements of the

 He stated that the United States Is afflicted with a political lcthargy. An example of this is that since the Civil war, despite the number of voters added by women's suffrage. the percentage of those who cxcr- else the right of ballot has fallen from S3.5 to 52 per cent.
 Better government can result from greater understanding. Churches, lodges, clubs and schools can bring this about. said the speaker.
 He emphatically stated that all though he is opposed to communism, any member of the organization should be given the right to ex- press himself publicly.
