that he regretted he could not comply
with its request for a statemen Of his
attitude toward recognizing the Rus

1.-The real question is Communism

promote Or to prevent Communism In
the United States"
There are two attorneys" the letter
said, both of whom have been highly

Your friend and supporter, Senator
Thomas J. Walsh of Montana-who has

probable choice for Attorney General

TRIED IN CAROLINA
Move Launched for State

Off to Good Start.
BY the Associated Press.

CHAPEL HILL. N c., May 25-Now
comes North Carolina with an adventure
in State symphony orchestra
1t is designed to be the first organ
ization of its kind ever attempted in this
country and has successfully passed the
first steps.
The North Carolina Symphony So
ciety was born OF a plan to pull the
State out of the financial doldrums and
to restore confidence in business and
industry.
The purpose Of the Symphony So
ciety Is to administer to the cultural
needs Of the State and a goal Of 10000
members has been set. Each member
will be asked to contribute 81 or more
to the organization.
Response to the movement has been
almost spontaneous in all sections Of
the State and a try-cut concert has
been successfully given, with SO musi-
clans participating.
Struggled Conducts.
Lamar Stringfield of the University
of North Carolina music department
was delegated by the society to assemble
musicians for trial concert. From all
sections he brought ifiuSlCldilS dlo dIlcI
four rehearsals a concert was given that
drew praise from the critics and pro-
lcnged applause from the audience.
Struggled was chosen y conduct the
orchestra.
Music clubs throughout til State have
indorsed the plan and success Of the
demonstration concert has given i'm
petus to the movement for a permanent
orchestral organization of symphonic
quality.
Time will be required to perfect a
permanent organization, but the Chapel
Hill concert has shown. leaders declare,
what they wanted to know. Talent is
available. interest has been aroused and
the idea is no longer dream.
Statewide Symphony New Idea.
Stringfeld. winner of Pulitzer prize
in 1923 for his composition, From the
Southern Mountains" may be chosen
to lead the State orchestra. He has
organized several orchestras often in
Guiding high school students, that have
presented many difficult symphonic
works

FIND UNDERGROUND GOD
IN BIBLICAL EXCAVATIONS
Altar and Chalice Discovered in
Ruins at Sodom and
Gomorrah.

ROME (P). An underground god
was one Of those worshiped by the
people of Sodom and Gomorrah, Jesuit
archeologists of the Pontifcal Biblical
Institute believe, following excavations
on the site of what they regard as prob
ably that Of the two Biblical cities de-
stroyed by fire and birthstone.
They found an altar with a chalice
imbedded in its under side, upside down.
This altar, they said, may have been
dedicated to god living underground.
He may have been a good god Of the
earth, producing crops, they said, or a
god of evil, living in internal regions In
the center of the earth.

BUILDING PROGRESS

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, May IS (N.AN.A).-Dan-
lei Hudson Burnham, director of works
Of the Worlds Fair. was a 6-year- -old
Evanston schoolboy at the time his
father, the famous architect, who died
in 1912. was director of the building Of
this beautiful White City, Chicago's s
Worlds Fair Of 1893
That was 40 years ago. and those
four decades have seen many changes,
some amounting to revolutions, in the
| industrial, economic and architectural
life of the country.
Bear that In mind while listening to
! the younger Burnham talking about the
| Century Of Progress Exposition, In
which he holds an executive position
identical with that held by the elder
Burnham, contrasting the architecture
Of the 1893 and 1888 exposition. He
said:
The theme Of Century of Progress
is the advancement Of mankind in the
last hundred years. In such a scheme
the architecture should be an express
| sion Of that progress. It would be in
| congruouS to house exhibits showing
mans progress in the past century in a
Greek temple of the age OF Pericles or
a Roman villa of the time of Hadrian.
The architecture must be in tune with
the modern age.
NaturalneSs Sought.
The architecture Of the 1888 World S
Fair is trying to express healthy nat
uralness. an honest reflection of the
actual function of the building Planes
and surfaces characterize this archi-
lecture, instead OF parade Of plaster,
ornamentation and decoration. The
dramatic effect of light and coloring
against this background of planes and
surfaces will be new and inspiring.
Moreover, the spectacle Of crowds OF
people moving at varying levels on
| ramps and terraces will add an effec-
tive pattern to the decorative scheme.
1T must be borne in mind that a
| Century of Progress Is building eXposi-
| tion structures for a temporary pur-
pose and not for permanence. We are
building for $50 days-from June /
| 1893, to November l, 1888. When the
exposition is over these buildings must
be salvaged. They are being built with
this idea in mind.
The exposition is making use Of fac
| tory-made parts to large extent in
| the various buildings. Wall materials
| for instance. are pre-fabricated in
! shops. cut into standard shapes and
sizes and shipped to the fair grounds.
| They are applied to the steel frames
with clips or screws.

SOVIET LIVE STOCK
EXPANSION SOUGHT
Program Aims / at Annual
Consumption of.100 Pounds
Per Capita.
BY ROBERT r. LAMONT, JR.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LARKSPUR, Colo, May rs (NANA).
"A rapid expansion of the live stock
industry Is one Of the major projects
OF the current Soviet program. Every
one in the government, from Stain
down, appears vitality interested in the
plan, which contemplates an increase
In meat production to q point which
will provide for an annual per capita
consumption Of 100 pounds. This is
probably four or five times the present
consumption and about two-thirds that
Of the United States.
1t seems exceedingly unfortunate that
trade relations between the United
States and Russia are at present 50
unsatisfactory. There is no doubt that
If some of the existing difficulties could
be ironed out, We could be assured of
profitable market for our surplus
breeding stock for many years. Russia
wants credit and she wants the right
to trade on the same basis as any other
power.
Wants to Pay From Earnings.
She wants credit largely because she
is not disposed to pay for her purchases
with her expOrtab!e commodities at
current price levels and also because
she Is a growing concern and wants to
pay her bills out Of earnings rather than
out Of capital.
AS far as Russia is concerned. the
main fault with American thought to-
day is that we insist on regarding from
an emotional angle what is, after all,
purely a business proposition. The es-
sential point for us is that Russia is
probably the worlds greatest market
and We need market Her politics
religion and morals are none of ou-
business.
Whether we like it or not, Russia
is a Communist state and is going to
stay that way for some time. She is
far too busy working out her own sal
yation to be seriously concerned with
The manifestations of communism out
side of her own boundaries. And no
one who has been in Russia can take
very seriously the spectre of Russian
production as menace to world trade
