ACTS,
HELD INDICATION
Constitutional Form of Gov.
ernment Proved O. K, Says
DR.. Raymond MoIey.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, March 18.-Dr. Ray
mond Moley, adviser to President
Roosevelt and an. Assistant Secretary Of
State, told q forum Of business and
professional men last night that the
actions Of the President In the last 10
days are vindication Of the constitu-
tional form Of government.
Nothing the President has DONE" he
said, "is unconstitutional. It merely
shows how adaptable to conditions our
form Of Government really Is"
The Presidents plans, bearing fruit
in the measures sent in quick success
sion to Congress- are the result Of long
and careful preparation, DR.. Moley re-
vealed in an aside. Work on them be-
gan quietly more than a year ago, he
said, when the then candidate for
President began making ready against
his possible election.
DR.. Moley, former professor OF poltu-
cal science at Columbus University,
spoke before the forum under sponsor
ship of the University Of Cincinnati.
He emphasized that he spoke only for
himself, because President Roosevelt
needs no spokesman"
In answering questions asked by bis
hearers, he said that steps will be tsZen
shortly to unity governmental agencies
making farm loans. and that the ad-
ministration's theory Of tariff reform Is
not to ''lop of the top Of the wall" but
to make doorways in the wall opposite
doorways in other walls"
Events of the past four years, he said,
have demonstrated the inherent disci-
pline and restraint of the Nation. But,
he warned, economic crisis can be met
by government mot in mere changes Of
form, but in improved personnel and
efficiency for less money"

CUMMINGS STUDIES
MITCHELL TAX DATA
Going Into New York Stock Trans
actions Thoroughly, Declares
Attorney General.

Attorney General Cummings today
was studying facts and figures con-
cerning the 1929 income tax report of
Charles E. Mitchell, resigned chairman
OF the National City Bank of New York.
United States Attorney George z.
Medalie Of New York yesterday laid be-
fore Mr.. Cummings the result of his
two weeks investigation of Mitchell's
stock transaction which the banker told
the Senate Stock Market Investigating
Committee he charged against his tax
payments.
In his testimony, Mitchell said he sold
$4,000 shares of the bank stock to a
relative, taking loss of S2,800,000, and
deducted this from his tax return. Later
he bought the stock back.
I'VE are going into the New York sit
uation very thoroughly" the Attorney
General said. He declined to state
whether course of action had been de-
cided upon. President Roosevelt has
instructed him to prosecute any wrong
doing that might be shown by the Sen
ate stock market investigation.

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt declines to make
any statement about the attitude of
his administration toward Soviet Rus
sia, but the opinion Is growing in some
Washington quarters that American un-
HriendlineSs for the Moscow regime is
sessening.
There likewise is belief here that
Norman H. Davis may talk with Maxim
Iitvinoff, the Soviet commissar for for
eign affairs, at Geneva.
Once the ice is broken, American ad-
kocates Of Russian recognition believe
the re-establishment of relations be-
tween the two nations might speedily
follow.
Eager for Markets.
American cotton growers, spinners
hnd manufacturers of machinery are
showing much eagerness to regain Rus
sian markets. With 160,000O00 nhab-
1tants, Soviet Russia is a tempting
area to economists who are seeking
fields where American products can be
placed through tariff trades.
Hugh S. Gibson, Ambassador to Bel
Kfum, who headed the American dele
cation at the Geneva Disarmament Con-
ference when Henry L. Stimson, the
Hoover Secretary Of State. was not IN
attendance, never spoke to Litv1noH.
Stimson also refused to talk with the
chief of the Russian delegation. Mem
bers Of the American delegation did talk
with Karl Radek and other Russian
leaders, but it was always explained
carefully that the conversations were In
no sense official.
Diplomatic Handicap Absent.
Davis goes to Geneva as American
chairman with the rank of Ambassador
He will be the representative of the
President and will enjoy Ambassadors
rank without all the diplomatic handl-
caps of an Ambassador assigned to
definite governmental post.
All the leading powers of Europe now
have Ambassadors at Moscow. Many
of them had much larger claims against
the Moscow government for the confls-
Gated property of their nationals than
the United States.
American Secretaries of State from
Presidents Wilson to Hoover opposed
recognition on the ground of the danger
of agitation by the third Communist
internationale rather than on the con-
hscation of property Of foreigners and
the reputation of debts.
Alfred E. Smiths recent declaration
in favor of Russian recognition stirred
Russia's advocates in congressional cir
cles to renewed activity and they are
urging that new deal be given the
Soviet regime.

SEATTLE, March 18.AThe octopus
Of these waters is a shy fellow, who
likes to hide In beer kegs, and not the
man-eating horror described in the
thrillers.
That's why the fishing industry of
Puget Sound came to have a side line

Visitors to wholesale fisheries here
often see an ugly, eight-armed fellow
who looks something like bad dream
and something like q maritime business

brooded over the corpses of drowned

said T. Kihara, manager Of a large
wholesale fish company. I'VE call him
a devilfsh, and we catch him when we
can, but make no great effort to build
an industry.
There Is no danger. The fisherman
lowers his trap into the water, and
after while the devilfish goes inside,
maybe to eat the crab bait. and he is
pulled up. We sell some to Seattle Jap
anese. Some 60 to the Orient, where
octopus is regarded as a delicacy."

topus likes to find q cool, shady place
to rest, and that's where the trap
comes in.

They began to discuss the emergency
banking bill and its grant Of broad
powers to the. President, which q head
line referred to as "a dictatorship."
IT banking can use q dictator, farm
ers can use 33,000,000 Of them-one

Two Of. them laughed, third whose
identity the others later agreed not to
reveal, did not.
why not have some one dictate the
plan Of farm relief and let every one
who Is interested leave it to him?" he
asked.
The result was a memorandum
brought up at last Fridays meeting
which resulted In an agreement to rec
ommend q broad enabling act so hex-
ible that the Secretary Of Agriculture
could apply different types Of relief to

Roland Hayes
In Eina Recital

Roland Hayes
In Fine Recital.
n GLAND HAYES, tenor, gave a
IN program of songs last evening ut
the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church
before large audience which warm
ly greeted the recitalist. Mr.. Hayes
program was an ideal one, compris-
ing as it did the gems of vocal
literature and maintaining stand
ard which could only be met by an
artist of Mr.. Hayes caliber.
There are few tenors today who
can extract, as it were, the very
kernel of composition and lay its
beauty so clearly before one as does
Mr.. Hayes. The essence Of the
poem, as well as its musical garb,
is so simply presented and with such
refined art that one feels that the
mission of song is at last revealed.
The force of Mr. Hayes singing lies
in his ability to submerge himself
completely in the music and to pro-
ject the power Of his convictions.
He IS not a singer of songs but an
interpreter. of music, and whether
this music be of Italian, French or
German origin, he is as much at
home in its sentiments as In any OF
his native English.
The soft, easily produced tones
have lost some of their mellowness
and there is a tendency to force and
to labor unnecessarily in fortissimo
passages, but these ordinarily tell
tale faults assume minor importance
beside the bigger objective Of Mr..
Hayes singing. Except for the mo.
ments which call forth a feeling OF
regret that all cannot be perfect, the
question of technic is forgotten in
the deep enjoyment of the exquisite
music the masters have. left us and
which is so reverently delineated by
Mr.. Hayes.
After the opening aria "Per Pieta
Non Ricercate," by Mozart, Mr..
Hayes sang the beautiful air from
Handel's "Acis and Galatea,"
Would You Gain the Tender Crea-
ture," with delicacy and gentleness
that gave the simple melody a rare
charm. Two songs by Brahms, "Es
Traumte Mir" and Am Sonntag
Mcrgen" were followed by La
Reve," from Massenet's opera
"Manon," and Dvorak's by the
Waters Of Babylon" Seldom has
the evanescent atmosphere Of the
famous "Manon" aria been SO ad-
mirably caught or its dreamy meas
ures infused with such sincerity as
Mr.. Hayes succeeded in depicting
last evening In the by the Waters
Of Babylon" ringing high tones
formed a virile contrast to the pre-
ceding number and called forth
storm of applause, to which Mr..
Hayes responded by singing Purcelfs
Passing By as encore.
A group of English songs was q
pleasing departure from the banah-
ties that are often included in such
a collection. "On Awake, Awake
Beloved" from Hiawatha," by Cole
ridge Taylor; Critics "a Dreamy
Lake" Requiem" by Morhardt;
my Little Pool' (Which had to be
repeated), by Slonimsky, and "The
Heart Worships," by Hoist, were
original and valuable numbers that
were greeted by enthusiastic ap-
plause.
y The last numbers on the program
were Negro spirituals, which Mr..
Hayes sings in unforgettable style.
Percival Parham showed sympa-
thetic understanding in the excellent
and unobstrusive accompaniment
he provided which added to the sue
cess Of the evening. A. e.

Varied Program At
Friday Music Club.

T OU1s POTTER, pianist, and
- Ruby Smith Stahl, soprano,
were the soloists yesterday at the
regular Friday Morning Music Club
musicale. A novelty was also in
troduced In the form of q sonata
for three violins, played by Ivalee
Newell, Evelyn Scott and Grace
Powell.
Mr. Potter opened the program
with the Beethoven Sonata No.
in E fat major, playing it with ar
tiStic regard for nuance and with
refinement Of feeling. Mr.. Potter's
tone is flexible and warm and he
attains his climax without sacrif1c-
ing its beauty. Two compositions
by Granados comprised his second
group. In these he displayed the
same understanding Of delicate
shading and, If somewhat lacking in
Spanish fire and vivacity, he never
theless gave prominence to the in
trinsic poetical sentiment. The
solidity of Mr.. Potter,s musician
ship is evident In all than he plays
and the audience warmly showed
their appreciation with prolonged
applause.
The sonata for three violins by
Bella was an interesting compost
ton in four movements with melo-
dies deity interviewer so that each
Of the three violins were given
equal importance. The three young
musicians have well matched tones
so that the effect was harmoniously
one and they played with musical
taste.
Ruby Smith Stahl sang q group
Of songs which included Haydn's
"She Never Told Her Love-" Chaus-
sons lie temps des Iilas" and
Foudrain's Carnival" Mrs. Stahl
reproduced the spirit Of the songs
with thoughtful fidelity although
at times they were too heavy Of
texture for her light, delicate voice.
A dainty song, 1.-THE Rivals" by
Tom Dobson showed her voice to
especial advantage. She was ably

while in the following number, "Sa-
rabande," by Bach, Mr.. Garzia was

mentS demonstrated Mr.. Garzia's ex-
cellent musical knowledge and he
proved himself an artist of fine un-
derstanding in both the sonata and
Sarabande.

speech in which he pleaded for the
continued support Of the National
Symphony Orchestra, Felian GarNa
concluded the program with the =
fiat major and the D minor Prelude
