RENOVIZING SUBSIDIES
A SUCCESS IN GERMANY Y

The German government program,
initiated in September, 1882. of grant,
ing subsidies to property owners who
want to renovize and repaint has
proved entirely satisfactory, according
to a report from Vice Consul C. w.
Gray. Berlin. made public by the
Commerce Department.
A new appropriation Of 500 200, 900
marks recently was made for the plan,
the report shows. New regulations per-
nit subsidies to owners or tenants for
almost every kind of property improve
ment
In the case Of repairs and extensions,
the subsidy amounts to 20 per cent
of the cost of the work. but the total
cost of each job must be at least 100
MARKS. For partitioning and remodel
ing, the subsidy is so per cent of the
total cost, but the maximum subsidy
which can be granted is limited to
1000 marks.

MEXICAN TENOR
. WINS ACCLAIM
At CONCERT
BY RONALD THORNE

S~ANAAASA~
Ortiz Tirado, Mexican tenor,
who was guest soloist last eve
ming at the concert of Latin
American music given on the
Esplanade at the Pan-American
Union, so captivated the large
audience that assembled, in spite
Of threatening weather, that
after his third group of songs
he was called upon for five en-
cores, among which he offered
the ever-popular "Estrellita."
The concert was given by the
United States Marine Band, Capt.
Taylor Branson conducting, and
a number of members of the
band were heard in instrumental
solo selections. Featured on the
program were several numbers
heard here for the first time at
the recent concert given by the
United Service Orchestra. in the
course of which at least one
composer from every Latin
American country was represented.
The Esplanade experiment
seemed somewhat dubious last
evening, after a severe storm that
broke about two hours before the
concert was scheduled, and in
view of overhanging clouds when
the program began. However,
the obviously oncoming storm
held off until the concert was
over and most of the apprecia-
tive hearers had reached their
homes.
Prominent among the selections
played by the band we're the Bo-
lero, by Elisabetta M. S. de Pate,
which she conducted on the oc-
casion of its first hearing here,
a few months ago: the trombone
solo, "Ave Maria" by P. Bisquertt,
a first rendition in this country;
a suite by Alberto Galimany,
partly new to Washington hear
ers; and Queen of the Night"
from Justin Flies "Suite Baby
lon."
Tirado. the soloist, made an
excellent impression. His voice
IS delightful and his personality
pleasing, and the audience was
unwilling to let him depart even
after his five generous encores.

Mattern Was One
 Weird Aviator
(Continued from Page 1.)

He wore high Russian boots, { windbreaker, trousers and a white silk scarf and was sweltering ir the 92-degree heat.
 A spontaneous welcome was &C., corded by some 5000 persons. A representative of the mayor, army and navy officers and political leaders greeted him. He was an honor guest at banquet at the Half Moon hotel, Coney Island, last night, then was driven to Manhattan with a police motor cycle escort.
 Mattern attributed his crash at Anadyr, Sibera to Russian oil. He said he had 35 gallons in tank and it "froze," shutting off the flow to his motor. He continued until his motor stopped, then cracked up.
 The flyer said he could not re- member in detail how he lived 19 days in the wilderness. He tried to keep a diary, but made an error of five days. He slept in the fuse- lage of his plane and removed cylinder from the motor and made stove of it. Daily he limped to the Anadyr river to watch for boat men. That continued for eight days then he moved to the river bank and built hot of grass, lining it with his maps for warmth.
 Finally he built a raft by lash ing together driftwood. It capsized one day and while drying off at a small fire his clothing ignited.
 -"I saved myself by jumping into the water" he said.
 The Texan said he did not have any definite plans further than go- ing down to City Hall to be re- ceived by the mayor.

played with receipts aggregating approximately $3,800 taken in.
 Since today's report will include only those weeks up to July 30th, 1t is assumed that the total num- Der of rounds for this year will exceed last years because August and September are usually con- sidered the golfing months of the season.
 From July 8, to July 30th last year, there were 3,076 rounds played with receipts totaling $998.85. For the same period this year, there were 2,931 rounds played.
 Season tickets sold in July last year helped to swell the receipts as compared with this year. There were $240 worth sold last July as compared with $82 this July. Of course, there were lot sold in May and June of this year while there was none sold in those months last year.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-31

The tide of unemployment un- der these agreements already had set in. Within five weeks the MIRA expects 1t to have carried 6,00O.- 900 of the jobless back to work.
 Johnson agreed to the first modifi- cation in the blanket agreement when he acquiesced to demands of small retail stores that they be permitted to employ workers up to maximum of AS hours a week in small towns. Instead of the 40- hours prescribed in the presiden- tial agreement.
 The concession permits a gradu- ation from 40 to AS in the working hours for smaller establishments in varying sized towns. The small storekeepers, some of whom now work their employees 60 and more hours per week, insisted the 4O- hour limitation would work too great a hardship. They agreed to the blanket minimum wages of SIP to $15 week.
 Johnson acted under a provision of the blanket agreement which gives him by an individual trade. In the case of the retail stores. a temporary code was submitted to govern dry goods, grocery. cloth ing, drug stores and similar estab- lishments until permanent code is agreed uopn and accepted by the MIRA

 Eastern Seaboard
 New York, July 31--(UP)-In- tense heat enveloped the eastern seaboard today sending hundreds of thousands to the beaches again and causing suffering in the tene- ment sections of New York and other cities.
 With more than score of deaths due to heat or drowning over the week end, the tehrmometer mount ed more rapidly today than on Sunday and weather foreoasters said the heat would continue un- til Wednesday or Thursday except for possible thunderstorms.
 The temperature in New York city yesterday was 77 degrees at g a. m. and later mounted to 92 de- grees. At a. m. today it already had pushed up to s4 and prom ised to exceed yesterdays mark by a wide margin.
 Eight deaths were attributed directly or indirectly to the heat in the New York area yesterday, although there were remarkably few drownings among the millions who sought relief at the beaches.
 A dozen similar deaths were re- ported from New England and sev- en persons were drowned in the Buffalo district.
