A comprehensive plan for the devel-
opment Of a great national music GEN.
ter in Washington was outlined last
evening by Edward johnson. leading
Metropolitan Opera singer. here to ap-
pear as soloist with the National SYM
phony Orchestra this afternoon.
Every seat Of government" Mr..
Johnson said. "shculd also be a focal
point for cultural activity. The Capital
Of the United States should be an ex-
ample to all the other communities of
the country, and the arts should find
their richest opportunities in the city
which theoretically represents the
whole Union. Peoples lives are con-
trolled not only by acts Of legislatures,
the policies OF administrators and the
decisions OF turists, but likewise by the
esthetic ideals which they entertain.
Here In Washington there should be q
cultural powerhouse whose influence
could 60 out far and wide, reaching
into the humblest homes, endowing the
intellectual and spiritual life of every
individual.
With the work which Is being done
by the public schools, 10y private teach
CHS, by the National Symphony Or
chestra as a foundation, it should be
possible to build up such a center as I
suggest. A national opera, a national
academy of music. a community public
skilled in discrimination and apprecia-
ton ought TO be feasible. Something of
the same general kind has been done
elsewhere"
Tells Of Experiments.
Mr.. johnson told of the experiment
which he Is sponsoring in his own home

There. he explained, he desired to help
in the development of popular apprecia-

end he guaranteed the salary of an
especially trained teacher to work
among the children of the public
schools.
Mr.. Johnson's faith is in the chill
dren. Suppose you take a million boys
and girls" he proposed. land you give
them the advantages Of musical edu-

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace yes
terday called on f1ue-cured tobacco
growers to sign agreements to reduce
acreage in 1934-35 while his aides in
the farm administration worked on
final details OF a method of distrib-
uting payments to those who CO.
operate.
Growers in the Carolinas, Virginia,
Georgia and Florida who take part in
the reduction campaign will be paid a
fiat rental of $3.50 for each acre taken
out of production, plus 1212 per cent
Of the sales value of the crop produced
on the reduced acreage.
Distributing these payments will be
simple compared to the intricacies of
making equalizing payments to fiue-
cured growers who sold their crop be-
fore q marketing agreement sent prices
soaring from an average of IL cents
a pound to approximately 18 cents.
Applications for the benefit pay
ments are to be made at the same time
the acreage reduction agreements are
signed, but the application of each
farmer will have to be checked against
the actual warehouse record where the
tobacco was sold.

New Real Estate Plan Suggested By Bank Receiver
H.O.L.C. Seek Special
 Legislature Session
State Office Plan to Ask Governor to Facilitate the
 Acceptance of Bonds By Connecticut Banks

tine Lonergan is endorsing the move and that he assured the state HOLC that the national ofiice would assist in compiling brief summarizing the arguments to be presented to the governor. Peter M. Kennedy. state director, said az his New Haven office last night that since the beginning of the HOLC in this state officials have been endeavoring to secure the special session.
 Despite the fact that banks are accepting Home Loan bonds more rapidly than in the early weeks of the corporation, there is still Q lack of cooperation on the part of many banks in the state. Procedure is held up in many cases and is halted in some by the delay or refusal of banks in accepting HOLC bonds.
 MT Kennedy announced last night that more than 700 loans have been completed in the state, totaling in value $3,260, GOO. On a per capita basis the state leads the country in both number and aver age value of loans. A new office; has been opened in Stamford to care for the growing demands in the southeastern section of the state.
 Waterbury's record of about 140 loans completed compares very favorably with the state total. The value of the local HOLC loans is approximately $550,000.

Lindberghs Start On
 The Homeward Flight
tcontinued from Page 1)

onds. Lindbergh had taxied out about a quarter. mile from the shore, warmed his engine, then gathered speed for the flight into the air.
 Lindbergh was not wearing a helmet as he taxied out but as the plane, spraying water high in the air, gathered speed, he adjusted his helmet to hold down his hair.
 Anne was snuggled so far down in the rear cockpit that she could not be seen as the plane left.
 Visibility was unlimited and re- ports indicated good weather ex- cept for 8 slightly bad spot near Charleton, S. c.
 The Lindberghs' aerial odyssey, starting as @ five-week survey flight and extending into an im- promptu circumnabigation of the North and South Atlantics, ranks as one of the major fights of his- tory.
 They visited '21 countries and will have travelled 29,081 air miles when they reach New York, in ad- dition to 2,800 miles in off-c0urse surveys. Only about 5000 miles of this distance was pure touring" for the flying couple. The remain- der was a combination business and pleasude trip, with Lindbergh gathering technical data for Pan- American Airways, for which he is technical adviser.
 It was last July 9 that the Lindberghs' Lockheed Sirius mon- oplane, fitted with pontoons instead of wheels, took off from North Beach airport, Queens. At that time it was announced their trip would be for the purpose of determining the feasibility of commercial air. plane route over the North Atlantic by way of Greenland Iceland. The fact that, Lindbergh himself had not planned a more extended flight was revealed months later by Mrs Lindbergh in Paris.
 "The trip at first was to be only for five weeks," she said. "Now that it has been almost five months think 1t was high time my hus- band took me home."
 Some of the flying was done over country never covered by airplane before. The Lindberghs flew over the rough, mountainous terrain of Greenland, and over the Greenland ice cap. They made a round trip across Davis Strait to Baffin land over territory where the weather is as treacherous as anywhere in the world. They visited ports to- tally unequipped as seaplane ports and all this with only the most minor mishaps. A leaky pontoon caused their only trouble of any consequence.
 Throughout the adventurous, Mrs Lindbergh acted as radio operator, navigator, and .co-pilot.
 The trip afforded Lindbergh a chance to visit his ancestral home in Sweden, and Mrs Lindbergh paid a flying visit to her sister, Eliza beth, who is now Mrs Aubrey Neil Morgan, living at St Bride's-Super- Ely, Wales.

REUNION TURNS
 INTO TRAGEDY
Old Lady Brought to Bridgeport By Her
 Son Is Dead

Bridgeport, Conn, Dec 1S-(U. PA reunion between Mrs Vav- aria Mgurdichian. 97, and her son, Lavour Mgurdichian. who brought her here from Washington, D. C., yesterday to spend the holidays. turned to tragedy to-day when she died from illuminating gas poison ing. Six children also were over come by the fumes but were re- vived and are out of danger.
 Mgurdichian brought his mother to the home of MT and Mrs Frank Young to spend the night. She and six of the Young children, Ernest, Virginia, Francis, Charlotte, Law renee and Dorothy. were put to bed in rooms on the second floor. Young said he went up to Mrs Mgurdichian's room at 1 o'clock and found her and the children all right then. He left early for work, and two hours later his wife arose. She smelled gas and sent 8 daugh- ter, Mary, to investigate.
 Gas was escaping from a half opened jet. Mrs Mgurdichian was unconscious on her bed. She died before she could be moved. Au- tl1orities are investigating.

PRESIDENT WAS
 HANDED PRAISE
Father COughlin Said He Spoke the Language of
 the Common People

Detroit, Dec. 18.-(UP) dent Roosevelt has won the great est following. ever accorded an elected officer by speaking the com mon peoples language. and by his honesty and determina- tion, the Rev Father Charles E.. Coughlin said in his regular Sun day address.
 q doubt if in the history of this or any other nation there has been such fervent following of an elected leader as maintains in Am erica today" the priest said. This opinion, he said, is supported by more than 100000 letters receiv- cd in the last eight weeks which form the pulse of American opin- ion."
 Herbert Hoover had mentioned something about fairer distribu- tion of wealth. Yet it was his for tune to be retired into obscurity while his advisers, his contempo- raries and his unseen superiors told us that prosperity was just around the corner--the prosperity of de- precision.
 "Eventually Franklin Roosevelt dared to do battle with the money changers. His magnetic personality, his singular honesty, his indom- itab1e determination won for him what neither Coolidge nor Hoover could acQuire-the most indescrib- able support of the common peo- ple."

 that amendments shall be written in the light of experience if at all.
 Problems of liability are arous- ing banking opposition to both acts. Investment bankers complain it is neither practicable nor just to hold themselves and directors of corporations civilly and criminally unqualifiedly liable for material misstatements or omissions of fact from security advertisements. There is talk of a. strike of capital if the severe restrictions of the bill arc maintained in force.
 Large commercial bankers, whose spokesman here has been Winthrop w. Aldrich of the Chase National bank, object to the liabil- ity provisions of the deposit guar antee act. The guarantee is in two parts. The first, effective Jan. |. provides that until July l, 1884 deposits up to $2,500, shall be guaranteed against loss.
 After that date a permanent plan would become effective, guar anteeing deposits in full up to $10,- 900; 75 per cent of deposits from $10,00O to $50,000; and 50 per cent of deposits over $50,000.
 Claim of Big Bankers
 The big bankers contend that under the temporary plan the lia- bility of solvent banks to make up depositors' losses in closed banks is limited in amount but that liability under the permanent plan is un4 limited. The association of federal reserve member banks in New York condemn this unlimited lia- bility on the ground that 1t com pels the well-run. solvent bank to ''sign a blank check" to make up the losses of badly run institutions
 The alternative proposed by Aldrich is that the big banks be permitted gradually to build up branch banking systems looking toward an eventual end of the dual state-federal bank system, and substitution of a unified bank sys- tenn in which a few strong insti- tutions in each state would oper- ate branches largely eliminating the small, individual bank.

Le Mans, France, Dec 1S-(UP) French and foreign aviation en- thusiasts gathered here today to eel ebrate the 18th anniversary of the first flight made by Wilbur Wright In France.

later. He will have charge of renting, repairing and selling the property, with final action resting with the court. He will submit a report every three months on his doings accompanying 1t with a statement of such allowance as he believes will fully compensate him for his services.
 The receiver states in the appli- cation dealing with Home Loan bonds that up to now the bonds have only been accepted in liqui- dation of mortgage obligations. It now asks that the bonds be ac- cepted for payment of any other asset such as note obligations, or in the purchase of mortgages.
 Other applications filed today ask the courts advice on the prop CT bookkeeping method to be fol- lowed when deposits are assigned for payment of debt.

husband, and never engaged in the more spectacular solo flights. Her responsibilities on Lindbergh's s however, have been such that only a veteran aviatrix could meet.
 All her training has been un- der the direction of Col Lindbergh, and began before they were mar ried when the young aviator, en- gagged in a goodwill flight after his famous nonstop flight to Paris, visited Mexico City. Lind bergh took Ambassador Morrow's daughter on several flights, on one of which they cracked upon landing, due to broken gear.
 After their marriage Mrs Lind bergh accompanied her husband on several flights across the con- tinent, one of them record- breaking hop from west to east completed a few months before the birth of her first son. AL ready she was acting as co-pilot on their flights.
 When Lindbergh planned a va cation trip to the Orient she took up the study of navigatoin and radio telegraphy, and proved her self superior to her husband Tn the latter. It was Anne Lind bergh's messages from the plane that kept the world informed of their progress while they fley over the Canadian northwest territory, and over the desolate Bering sea.
 This summers trip was even more ambitious than the Pacific flight, but Mrs Lindbergh handled sIr- trip was over 30,000 air miles In five months-farther than around the world at the equator, and al- most twice as far as the distance travelled by Wiley Post in his rec ord solo hop around the world . It led them over mountainous ter rain in Greenland never before flown over, and into little African ports where the arrival of a sea- pIane-particularly that of the Lindberghs-was occasion enough for civic celebration.
 The flight over the South Att lantic was in itself major achievement. Guided by Mrs Lind- bergh's navigatoin, the plane never once left it's course.
 Miss Johnson has to her credit solo flights from England to Aus tralia, to Cape Town. to Tokio, and a flight with her husband across the Atlantic. Miss Ear hart crossed the Atlantic by air twice, the second time alone. She holds the women's nonstop dis tance record, and the autogiro al- titude record. But Mrs Lindbergh's flying since her marriage, while not of the spectacular kind, en- titles her to rank with these fore- most women flyers.
