Born in Sweden, she studied
music in Paris and married her
teacher, Boris Onegin, a young

during the World War just as she
was on the threshold of her muSi-
cal career.
Sang With CarusO
She made her debut at the
Stuttgart Opera, SinginG the title
role in Carmen" opposite Enrico
Caruso, and was Immediately
hailed as star.
She made her first visit to the
United States in 1922, making her
debut as soloist with the Philadel.
phia Symphony Orchestra.
The contralto roles in opera
being so few, Nine. Onegin has
been better known on the concert
stage in this country, although
she has a distinguished operatic
record.
She returned to this country
last month to make her tenth
concert tour, and her washington
program contains some admirable
numbers.
Will Sing Verdi Aria
Nine. Onegin will sing the
great aria, Song OF Triumph
from Verdi's Lady Macbeth" a
group of Schubert lieder, well
suited to her voice, and a group
of folk songs of several nations,

it was written.

yesterday by q roundup Of the

Westheim home here.
An alleged confession by the

to snatch" Mrs. WeStheim, was
announced by Police Lieutenant
Anderson.

ployed by the family as q domestic

for insurance under the regula-
tions of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, cannot exceed GER
tain maximumS.
The maximums also apply to
insurance premiums. service
charges, appraisal fees and other
costs.
Thus, the mortgagor-the per-
son upon whose property the
mortgage is placed-cannot be
charged more than stated limited
amounts. He is forever free Of
renewal" charges, because the
mortgages are amortized, and all
other charges will be sound and
within reason, which means in
most cases they will be cheaper
than those in vogue today.
The regulations state:
"The mortgage must bear

charges under the contract of
insurance) upon the principal
obligation outstanding at any
time, at a rate not to exceed
the rate set by the admins
tratiOn from time to time for

Radical revision Of some of the

with the goal of more

~ e'>r,t2 be undertaken by the
), Congress, it was asserted
ole circles here today.
program, it was declared,
Is indicated strongly by recent
activities 7'ethe White House and
also LooA.e activities of some of
the emit .gency units themselves.
Principally, it was said, the re-
organization would be undertaken
to obtain a more systematic
check upon the many agencies
and bureaus which are putting
out" Government funds.
Bureaus Competing
Many of these have been pour
ing out money without anyone
knowing definitely what agen-
cies were taking care Of what
needs. In fact, it is pointed out,
some of the agencies have actu-
ally been competing with others
with a view to getting their
money out first.
That this condition has caused
the Administration considerable
alarm, is pretty generally known.
The alarm in Administration cir
cles was considerably greater be-
fore the recent election resulted
in strengthening of Democratic
lines in Congress. It was feared
that a strong Republican minor
ity would attempt to make cap
ital, during the coming session,
out of the apparent lack of CO.
ordination of the lending and
distributing agencies of the New
Deal.
1t was this knowledge that
prompted the Administration to
move toward putting its own
house in order before Congress
meets. That is why the President
the other day created a special
committee consisting of represen-
tatives of the various agencies
lending Federal funds.
Congress Must Act
That committee will do all the
coordinating that it is possible to
do without offending any of its
members. Later, when the real
job Of coordinating has to be done
(and it will hurt the pride of
agency heads who will have their
authority curtailed), it will be left
up to Congress.
Just about the time that Presi.
dent Roosevelt took this impor-
tant step on coordination, the
Home Owners Loan Corporation
announced that it had lent or soon
would lend, all the funds at its
disposal. 1t proceeded to take
itself out of the lending business,
the first New Deal agency to sign
it own death warrant.
Several of the lending agencies
already are running shy of funds.
Will Ask More Funds
They will have to 60 before
Congress this winter and ask to
have their Golfers replenished.
That is when the coordinating
will start in earnest.
But the coordinating won't be
done by enemies Of the New Deal
It will be done with the full knowl.
edge, and possibly under the direc.
ton, Of the Administration.
Consequently, the revision and
coordinatiug will not mean the
destruction Of any of the objects
which are being sought by the
various agencies. It probably will
mean only that some of the agen-
cies will be killed as to name and
a "super-agency" to handle the
lending generally will be created.

Democrats May Lose
House Seats but Pick
Up in Senate.
BY PAUL MALLON.

vF YOU want to lay a small wager
on Tuesdays congressional elec-
ton, you may safely hazard a de-
/ flated dollar or so that the Demo-
Gratis will lose no more than IA
House seats and gain about five Sem
ate seats.
That is a conservative guess, based
on public and private reports coming
in to Washington from trustworthy
sources.
The Democrats really believe they
will gain 10 to 20 House seats and
eight or nine Senate seats, and they
might do 1t. Too many local condi-
tions are involved in several sections
to get any definite advance notion.
The Republicans are maintaining a
rather gloomy silence Their unex-
pressed hope is that they will pick up
as many as 20 seats in the House, but
they know they will lose at least three
in the Senate.
From that you cen see without
squirting that the Ne1U Deal is

Gallery Member for
Years.

Mrs Myra Richards, who held the
record of continuous service by a
woman in the press galleries OF Con-
gresS, died last night at her home, 2O
Lincon street, Exeter, NH. She had
not been we'll for several years, but in
spite of age and physical inflrmities
continued her activities as a WASH
ing correspondent up to the close OF
the last Congress, had written regu-
larry weekly letters on national az
fairs throughout the Summer and was
planning to return to Washington
next month. Several weeks ago she
fell downstairs. resulting in double
fracture of the hip. Her death was
caused by a tumor.
Few women have been as well
known about the Capitol during the
past SO years. She came to WASH
her husband, George F. Richards, was
a member of the press gallery as
representative of the Manchester
Union. Later, she succeeded him as
representative of the same paper in
April, 1912, and has been continuous
ly in service ever since. She was rec
ognized as an able and conscientious
correspondent whose letters" were
especially well written. She was
correspondent for a group of impor-
tant New England papers, and at
various times has represented the
most important papers in Maine. New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut. She was to have returned
to Washington in charge of the
Capital Bureau for the Worcester
Telegram and Gazette, which papers
she has represented for the past %
years, signing her dispatches RICH
ards" so that it was generally be-
lieved that the correspondent was a
man.
Mrs. Richards was full member of
the Newspaper Women's Club, and
always a welcomed speaker at gather
ings of newspaper women. She was
an ardent Republican in politics and
was in sdemand for speaking engage
ments during political campaigns. In
recent years she had been delegated
as a headline" speaker at gatherings
of women's clubs throughout New
England, and her services were espe-
cially commended by William M. But
ler, chairman of the committee that
handled the campaign of the late
President Calvin Coolidge.
