Wants PRICES, PAY.
|. TO RISE TOGETHER
Administration Will Issue a
Weekly List on Costs and
Wage Changes.
Dy the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press. .-.
The Roosevelt administration has en-
barked. on q program to prevent prices
to consumers Of products from rising
faster than the purchasing power OF
farmers and workers.
The first move was taken by farm
administrators in announcing that q
weekly list of prices paid by CONSUMERS
and paid to farmers, together with
changes In wage levels, would be issued
The first will come out next week un-
der the direction Of DIR. Fred c. Howe,
consumers counsel for farm admins
traitors. It will show surveys Of prices
in SO cities for about 10 food and tex
tile products most commonly purchased.
This part of the administration pro-
gram will be fact-fnding and aimed to
provide consumers with the most re-
cent information available regarding
changes in costs Of the essentials Of
life.
Reports Are Conflicting.
Administrators have conflicting re-
ports as to price. trends In connection
with the recovery program.
The point which is Of most concern
to farm administrators, 1t was said, Is
the possibility Of sharp appreciation OF
inventories of professors and distribu-
tors Of goods purchased during q period
of low prices for which higher prices
would be charged by the time the goods
enter consumption channels.
Conditions are changing SO rapidly
that month-old figures are OF little use
to consumers, SO we plan to report this
data every week" Howe said.
VIII Publish Retail Prices.
First. we will publish retail prices
on bread, milk, meat and other every
day food necessities. The field staffs
of the Departments Of Agriculture and
Labor viii gather these figures from
50 cities and from over thousand
stores, independents, chains and spe-
cialty food shops.
THESE figures will be properly
weighted and averaged SO that con-
sumers can get a picture of price move
ments over the country as well as OF
local prices.
second. we propose to check against
these prices and show the money the
farmer gets for producing the raw ma
terials that 20 Spto these foods. Farm
ers have too long been getting a small
return for. their labor in feeding us.
We are trying to increase their pay.
II We want farmers to buy city-made
Foods at fair prices we must buy their
farm products at fair prices.
Third, we are going to report on in
creases in labor costs as the result OF
the raises in wages and new employ
ment. Wages must 60 up just as farm
ers' earnings must go up. We are 60
ing to find out how much they are
rising and just how much that rise
amounts to in the increased cost OF
foods and textiles.
Fourth, we will report on what the
farmers are having to pay for the goods
they must buy. This will be an index
Of all kinds Of commodities. It WILL
help us measure Improvements In the
farmers buying power.
we get nowhere II we hand the
farmer q few more pennies for his
wheat. or Gotten or corn II he has to
nay them all out again for the bare
necessities he has been buying"

by Won Dolmanyi. She played with
resonant tone, deep and full, and an
adequately facile technic. Particu-
larly fine was her Interpretation Of
the "Raindrop Prelude" in which
there was poetry and imagination
both in ideas and execution.
The "Andante" and Finale" from
Mendelssohn's Concerto in E Minor"
showed Mr. Sokolov's violinistic skill
to the utmost. His fine singing tone
and smooth technic Of fingers and
bow were pleasure to hear and
gave sense of complete satisfaction
in both the concerto and the Sara
band" and "Tambourin" of Leclair.
Unfortunately, Adolf Torovsky. in
his accompaniment, did not assist
Mr.. Sokolov to the utmost. His play
ing Of the "Andante'H had not the
legato that is a necessary back
ground for this movement and this,
together with certain technical
lapseS, seemed to show an un-
familiarity with the work His ac-
compartment for the ensemble sing
ing, however, was much better
adjusted as to tone and sentiment.
Richard LOrleberg provided the
most outstanding performance of the
evening. playing with abandon and
temperament the Grieg "A Minor
Sonata" Granados' Spanish Dance"
and Moszkowski's "Guitarre." In
the "Andante," by Gluck, he created
an atmosphere of warm sentiment
and gave minute consideration to
every musical effect. He was &C
companied by Mrs. Won Bayer, who
occasionally. was inclined to over
power him in tone.
The exceedingly fine and restrain
ed singing of the ensemble was again
demonstrated in three numbers Of
the English school, and it finished
the program with the Song of the
Rhine-Maidens," from the "Gotter-
dammerung." The ensemble is ex-
pressive of Mr.. Simon's artistic feel
ing for beauty and true sentiment
and his high musical ideals.

"A eel Tabuteau, oboist of the
1 a Philadelphia Orchestra, yes
terday at the concert Of the
National Symphony Orchestra in
Constitution Hall was awaited with
interest. Just what can be done
with the oboe apart from its place
in the orchestra has rarely been
demonstrated.
Mr.. Tabuteau proved that playing
with background of soft string
accompaniment, such as Is written
for it in the concerto Crosse in G
Minor" of Handel, it can achieve the
height of expressiveness. The largo
was especially beautiful, its swelling
phrases done with repose and feel
ing In the lively allegro, the sad,
romantic tone of the oboe changed
to a gayer quality, and the quick
passages had grace and lightness.
Mr. Tabuteau'S performance was
greeted with prolonged applause and
he was recalled several times.
The second special offering of yes
terday's concert was the first per-
formance here of Schubert's Fifth
Symphony" This youthful work OF
Schubert's is fresh and bouyant,
running happily from melody to
melody with unerring inspiration.
1t is seldom that such wealth Of
harmony is heard in work of
symphonic length and the marvel
of Schubert's abundance of ideas
was again impressed upon one.
Mr.. Kinder directed it with full
consciousness of what he was seek

the melodies should be well en-
phasized and the high lights of each
made to stand out. Unfortunately,
