Great Britain and Russia Are at 1.-Two Im= prisOned British Sub- jects May Be Banished

London, April 225. (UP)-The opening of economic warfare be- tween Great Britain and the Soviet Union was hailed to-day by a brick thrown from the street through window of the Soviet consulate.
 A message wrapped around the missile read: "We don't like your Russian justice. Go back to Mos- COW, you swine" Police began q search for the brick thrower.
 Custom houses throughout Eng land were instructed, effective to- day, to permit Russian importations only under the rigid terms of the embargo order which bars all but about 20 per cent of Russian goods.
 Simultaneously, Russia enforced her retaliatary complete embargo on British goods.
 A dozen British ships were en route to Russia with British goods and four Soviet vessels were en route to England. Presumably their cargoes will be barred, although 1t was reported the Soviet might use their cargoes for a test case to Sec if British citizens could obtain i'm port licenses covering Russian gods despite the embargo.

Palangio attempted to evlct a wis., itor to his house and In flourish ing an unloaded rifle caused the undesirable guest to be quick on the draw.

Miksa Merson, Pianist,
Give Splendid Recital.

A SUCCESSFUL recital was
n given by Miksa Merson,
IA pianist, last night at the
1 \ Textile Museum before a
large and interested audi
ence. Mr.. Merson's program was
such as to balance one mood against
another, providing always sufficient
melody to permit of relaxed enjoy
ment of what he could do with 1t.
Mr.. Merson's ability to handle the
melodic strains so that not an iota
of their meaning was lost was the
salient feature of his playing. 1t
deserves special commendation, for
it proves how seriously contemplative
IS his work and how true Is his
understanding of the importance Of
the idea to be expressed rather than
the outward technical display. His
purely mechanical equipment Is so
ample and sure that he can afford
to ignore it and give entire con-
centration to the careful working
out of phrase within phrase to gain
the Interpretation he is seeking.
The poetry that is not difficult to
bring out in Schumann or Chopin,
Mr.. Merson also found in the Bach
Busoni organ Toccata," and the
warmth and sorority he put into 1t
humaniZed it without blurring the
ripping quality of tone or the es-
sential dignity of the composition.
Mr.. Merson plays with a refined
tone that avoids any forcing, but
unfortunately the background of
sorority that he gave in Bach was
not sustained throughout the pro-
gram. The lack of really reaching
the deeper substance of the tone was
disturbing to a certain degree in
most of the selections with the ex-
ception of the Chopin "B Minor
Sonata" In this he seemed to en-
body the spirit of Chopin and he in
terpreted it with restrain and sensi-
tive feeling. The allegro maestoso
was magnificent example of well
developed dynamics, brought about
by expert pedalling and rounded
tone. The audience interrupted
with applause and there was more
at the end of the dashing finale.
Mozart's charming "Rondo in A
Minor" and Schumann's "Toccata"
were placed together and gave op-
portunity for the contrast of fine
singing tone and fleet, sure technic
of which Mr.. Merson is capable.
His own "Ballade," composition in
which the musical content is
stronger than its form, was the first
of group that comprised La Plus
que Lente," waltz of Debussy, and
the Navarro" of Albeniz.
One of the finest numbers on the
program was LisZt's "Nocturne No.
l." which Mr.. Merson played in an
especially expressive -Way. 1t was un-
fortunate that he chose the "Rhapso-
die Espagnole" for the climax of his
program, for this is one of the least
interesting of LisZt's compositions.
Mr.. Merson might have made it
more effective had he played it with
more fire and volume, but the re-
straint he seemed to have imposed
on himself last evening as to guam

Schubert's 'Das Wandern,"
"Wohin" and "Ungeduld" were Miss
loves opening numbers and in the
same group she included, by special
request, the charming Wiener
Waller" by Bernatsky. Her second
group was made especially interest
ing by the opportunity offered to
hear for the first time in Washing
ton Nelson's "Sommer Regen" and
En- Gift er Elskov," by Lange Muel-
Ter. The very beautiful "Schnee." by
Sigurd Lie, and Grieg's Itch Liebe

bers. Her final group had the tragic

amusing Mex Time I Senda Valen-

accompanist to assist Miss Lowe in
her artistic interpretations.

oil Seeks Step-by-Step
Financing Program.

The American Construction Council.
which was headed by Franklin D.
Roosevelt before he became Governor
of New York, yesterday proposed to the
administration pay-as-you-go plan for
financing step-by-Step a Federally
sponsored construction program for the
Nation by the aid Of process tax on
the construction industry.
The council, through Dwight L. Hoop
mgarner, its executive, proposes a pro-
gram of public and private work esti-
mated to cost between $1,000,000. 900
and $3.50, 100000 as a means of fur
nishing employment and rebuilding
America"
Offers Employment Opportunity.
Coming at a time when the Govern
ment is mapping program for public
works which it has been estimated will
cost in the neighborhood of a billion
dollars, the councils plan offers the
opportunity for substantial volume of
employment quickly secured and serving
an immediate need" said Hoopingarner.
The councils plan, as announced by
Hoopingarner provides that on each
-liquidating construction project
process tax of 5 per cent on materials
and other elements be paid by the in
dustry and that this 5 per cent of the
total cost of the operation be supple
mented in like amount by the Govern
ment to form the basis against which
debentures in the ratio of 10 to l may
Be issued under Government sponsor
Ship for popular subscription, with in

Ultimate amortization or retirement
of the bonds would be provided for
through sinking fund to cover projects
that might not prove to be entirely self
Iquidating. The plan is especially ap-
plicable. it was emphasized. to privately
owned projects affected with the pub
Iic interest, and financed under Govern
ment sponsorship, such as Slum clear
ance and other low-priced housing
Releasing Federal funds in like amount
to be applied directly and from other
sources for the conduct of non-Self-
Nquidating public works, this plan would
permit the Federal construction pro-
gram to proceed billion by billion pro-
gressively as demand requires and reve-
nues justify.
Immediate Work Asked.
The council submitted its plan for
Immediate construction as part OF a
program for what it calls rebuilding
0f America with better homes and mod
Srnized factories, and the movement of
population generally to more suitable
0ving and working environment, with
improved streets and highways"
The council announced it was uniting
