Likes Travel and Gardening
WIFE OF NAVY SECRETARY STAYS IN POLITICAL

~ ASCENDANT Of a famous old
Virginia family. Mrs. Claude
Swanson, wife Of the Secre-
- tary of the Navy, dainty lit
tie woman, well groor;sed and
vivacious, has for her principal hobbies
travelling and gardening.
Her penchant for travel follows the
spirit Of her adventurous ancestor,
Capt. John West one-time Governor Of
Virginia. who had the double distinc-
tion of being the Governor Of Virginia
in 1885 and 1886 and the younger
brother Of Lord Delaware. Mrs. Swan
son, a true F. F. w., was born in Rich
mond, Va. She is the granddaughter
of Judge Lyons, who was member Of
the Senate of the Confederate States
and who had two of the most beauti-
full places in Richmond, a country place
named La Burnham and town house
which is now the Westmoreland Club.
To this traditional background Mrs.
Swanson reacts normally. She avoids
publicity. She came reluctantly to
woman's suffrage. She believes that
woman's place is in the home, as in
terpreted by Southern gentlewomen.
Being an official hostess will come
with no effort to Mrs. Swanson She
is a master of the art of sprightly con-
versation. They have lived in WASH
ington for many years and she is
popular and established here. In spite
of saying that women should not in
trude into their husbands political ca
reer, she is close follower of legis-
lation. When Secretary Swanson was
in the Senate, she used to spend many
days in the hard gallery seat. Now
that she does not ride any more and
has given up bridge, she devotes con-
siderable time to studying current
events. Also, she goes to a Monday
morning current events class.
Outside of her real hobby and
pastime. travelling, Mrs. Swanson likes
to garden and is vice president Of the

who is both Secretary Swanson's step
son and nephew, now works for his

CITES CHECK
To SLUMP

BY International News Service
Encouraging developments in
the economic situation are re-
viewed in the october survey OF
business, released today by the
American Federation Of Labor.
The decline in business activity,
witnessed during September, was
checked, the survey declares,
October showing a slackening OF
only is per cent, compared with
8.5 per cent in the preceding
month. The survey says:
adjustment for last springs
speculative boom seems to be
largely completed and business
is still close to 1881 levelS-27
per cent above March"
The survey estimated that the
$4,000, 100000 public works pro-
gram has given employment to
more than 100000 persons. A
marked increase in activity by the
heavy industries is in prospect.
Since the low point in unem-
ployment last March 4, more than
100000 idle persons have re-
turned to work, it was asserted.
MIRA codes have shortened the
average work week from 43 to 38
hours and raised wages from an
average of 49.3 to Sis cents an
hour. It is added:
workers total buying power
has been increased EOS per
cent. Unemployment was still
decreasing during October, ac-
cOrding to trade union figures,
which showed 21.9 per cent Of
the membership out of work in
early October, compared with
22.5 in September"
OffSett1ng these developments,
in part, were:
l. MIRA wages have not
brought higher living standards
to the average worker. A 6 per
cent increase in wages has been
eaten up in an 8.5 per cent in
crease in living costs.
2. The decline in farm prices
which started last July, to-
gether with the rapid increase
in costs of articles the farmer
consumes, renewed trouble to

T|BBE.TT HOLDS
HUGE CROWD
SPELLBOUND

The recital by Lawrence Tibbett
IN Constitution Hall yesterday
served to make musical history
for Washington in more ways
than one.
For, in addition to the famous
baritone'S enthralling an audience
that Overlooked onto the concert
stage itself, he presented a pro-
gram that-with the exception Of
two encoreS-was entirely in Eng
ish, a feat that could be accom-
plished only by an artist of Mr..
Tibbett'S caliber.
This was the first concert Of the
season presented under the aegis
Of Mrs. Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey
and the auditorium was packed
to overlooking. Chairs were
placed on the stage.
Program Diversified
The singer offered a selection
Of songs ranging from such
stately, pompous works as Han
de's Near Me Ye Winds and
Waves" and Franz Schubert's
"The Omnipotence," to lifting
modernistic compositions and dia-
1ectal negro spirituals.
Mr.. Tibbett chose a program
that exhibited his tremendous
versatility as a singer-and then
proceeded to enhance mis- YER
sitality to an insiStent audience
by presenting a series Of encores
that made one marvel at his
endurance. Again and again he
responded to an enraptured pub
lie, singing such divergent COM
positions as the popular "Song
Of the Flea" "Glory Road" and
THE Road to Mandalay."
HighIights Noted
Mr.. Tibbett's meter lies in the
fact that he makes the most of
his sense of the dramatic as
well as of his musical ability. He
is at home equally with a bit
of Brahms sentiment as we'll as
with such a macabre work as
Modest Moussorgsky's Deaths
Lullaby" Jacques Wolfe's quaint
"Hand Organ Man." Peter Wac
locks robust Good Ale" and,
more seriously, prayer excerpt
from Emperor Jones'" made
automatically famous by Paul
Robson, were highlights of his
performance.
Stewart Wills proved not only
an able accompanist to Mr.. lib
bett but an accomplished per-
former in his own right. His
rendition Of the Bach-Siloti "Pre-
Jude from Cantata No. IS" and
"Organ Prelude in G Minor" es-
tablished his stature as a must
clan.
He not only delivered Bach in
q mathematical manner but made
the most Of the Germans emo
tional possibilities, notably in
the G minor prelude. Again, his
presentation of the Debussy La
Terrasse DIES Audiences du Clair
du Lune" and the tremendously
dramatic Won Dohnanyi "Rhap-
Sody," Opus II No. 3, found ex-
ceptional favor.-E. G. T.
