 The prelude to the first act ia n key to all that will follow. The salty tang of the sea is in the sailors chorus when the curtain rises.
 Story of the Opera
 Passionate vchemence charac- tcrizes the music of Isolde's long scene in this first act, to be fol- lowed by tho mocking song of the bluff Kurvenal. Then comes the bodeful mixing of the potion, fol- lowed by the tremendous climax which marks the entrance of Iris tan; and finally the ecstatic duet of the lovers.
 The second net brings 0 com plcte change of mood--thn- distant hunting horns, tho signal to Tristan, the meeting of the lovers, the unbelievably beautiful music of the long duet. the haunting worning song of Brangaene, the coming of King Mark--then the fatal sword of Melot.
 Again the third act brings still another change of mood, the mys- tcriously ominous introduction. the noatnlgic piping of the shep- herd, the delrium of the dying Isolde, the Liebestod - then the curtain.
 It is a superb cast that has been assembled for this per- formancc, ono which cannot be cuualed anywhere else in the world. Lauritz Melchior will Dc the Tristan, Karin Branzcll, the Rrangacne; Friedrich Schorr, the Kurvcnal; Ludwig Hoffman, tho King Mark; and Arthur Bodanzky win conduct.

NRA BENEFITS TO JOBLESS

A sample of the direct benefits of the Nation
al Industrial Recovery Act and its sympathetic
administration in providing work for the unem-
ployed is well illustrated in the statement by
James F.. Hodgson, regional compliance director
of the National Recovery administrator for
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut on the
job finding results of the NRA in New York
City alone. He said:
Under the influence Of all recovery agencies
including repeal of the Volstead Act and the
Eighteenth Amendment, which was a part of
the national recovery plan, it is estimated that
100000 persons have been re-employed in New
York City since President Roosevelt took office
Mr.. Hodgson added that President Roosevelts
recovery program is more forcible and more i'm
portant now than it has been since it went into
effect the first of last August" and declared that
although the band wagon has passed, the Blue
Eagle still lives on" From his own observation
he was convinced that the National Recovery
program is going forward effectively and earn
estly.
A unemployment policy that in five months
can remove 100000 men and women from the
bread lines OF hunger and provide them with
wages sufficient to purchase even a modest living
for themselves and their families is an outstand-
ing achievement from the employment point of
view regardless of the attacks by rugged in
dividualists' who still long for the return of the
old economic order with its jungle methods of
production and its inevitable permanent unem-
ployment and poverty for large masses Of Amer
lean working men and women.

LABOR AND THE PRESIDENT

Each move made by the President in the past
months has been toward the left. With each
left turn he has incurred the dspleasure of bust
ness and banking interests. With the adoption
of each new code, industry has complained of
government regulation. Big business complains
of government interference and little business
men complain Of the fact that they are no longer
able to exploit labor in order to undersell and
compete with big business. The Republican ma
chinery is slowly turning under the guidance of
Ogden Mills they are trying to make capital of
this discomfort on the part of industry and com
merce. The President can expect no co-opera-
ton from those quarters if he is to solve this
depression and prevent others. His only hope
OF salvation is the support Of the people.
The Nationwide observance of his birthday
was an indication that he is going to get that
support. The people did not attend these par
ties to dance nor did they attend to help the
crippled children. They went or purchased tick
cts because they believed in the President and
his program. The common masses went be-
cause they feel that once again they have a friend
in the White House.

WASHINGTON - (FP) - So the

%possessors of NRA codes with S12-15
a week minimums have won their fight
to slash CWA wages. Not by a 'front.'
al attack on the 40-50c scale, but by
forcing curtailment of the work-week
from 30 hours to "a in cities and Is
in rural areas.
The excuse was lack of money.
CWA is overspending its $500, 600, 900
by paying an average of S14.37 a week
instead of the contemplated $12, said
.CWA Administrator Hopkins. The
real reason was indicated by Gen.
Johnson when he heard of the new
.CWA policy. "That's fine" he said,
chat meets all the criticisms" And
the criticisms were those of General
Johnson's blue eagle bosses who howl
ed about discomfort created among
NRA codified workers because of the
magnificent $14.37 a week being paid
CWA workers.

After six months of recovery, the
index of payrolls in December stood

Gen. Johnson had a grand time

Starting with an organization of so
CWA workers, the Portland, Me-, Re-
lief Workers Assn. grew rapidly in its
first week. The men are demanding
union wages for skilled workers, fell
eral unemployment insurance, and a
$18 minimum weekly wage.
In New York City, the Washington
announcement to cease hiring and cut
down on the hours on CWA projects
met with strong protests from the or
ganized relief workers. More than
800 laborers marched on the state
CWA offices demanding that the pro-
gram be retained at full strength.
*@@
The laborers were followed within
"a hours by 1900 white collar CWA
employees who demanded that the pay
cuts be rescinded. The white collar
workers are organized into the Asso-
ciated Office & Professional Emer-
gency Employees.
