SOCIAL SECURITY
TOPIC AT SESSION
Rehabilitation Association
to Hear Address by Rep
reSentative Lewis.

REPRESENTATIVE David J. Lewis Of
Maryland will address the National
Rehabilitation Association on social
security problems tonight at its an
nual banquet at the Wardman Park
Hotel.
The discussion will deal with the
problems which the national body will
face in securing State cooperation In
training physically handicapped per-
sons and placing them in gainful en-
ployment. For IA years the associa-
ton has received an annual Federal
appropriation Of 100000 to carry
ON this work. This year the funds
were authorized under the national
security act, but due to the failure
of Congress to make funds imme-
diately available the appropriation will
not be made until Congress meets
again this Winter.

partment of Public Walfare In the
District of Columbia, will be toast
AldcGCl dt tltC Q0l4lCAs
Since the rehabilitation program
was enacted in 1920 A States have
enacted rehabilitation legislation. A
survey Of industrial, public accidents,
diseases and other causes revealed
that over 100000 persons annually
become permanently disabled in the
United States.
How to help these physically handi-
capped become useful citizens in the
occupational sense and the help that
can be obtained under social security
legislation constitute the principal OBJ
jectives Of the associations sessions.
The association today was to for
mally ratify the nominations of OFF,
GERS at a brief business session. John
]. Lee Of Lansing, Mich, was unani-
mously nominated to serve as presi-
dent during the next years program.
His election will be matter Of routine.
Lee has served as vice president Of
the association during the past year.
M. M. Walter of Harrisburg, Pa,
was nominated unanimously for the
vice presidency and Homer w. Nichols
of Frankfort, KY, was renominated
secretary-treasurer.

COMMUNITY CHEST
UNITY IS URGED
Director WiIIett Appeals for
Further Integration and
Cooperation.

Declaring the Community Chest
already is seeking the advice Of the
Council of Social Agencies in pre-
pairing the budget for distributing
funds, Herbert L. Willett, jr., director
of the Chest, in a luncheon meeting
of the council yesterday, appealed
for further integration and co-opera-
ton in all efforts for social welfare
In the District.
Willett assured the assembled social
workers that the Chest will not lose
sight of its responsibility to each
of the 81 member agencies. He added.
however, that the Chest Is not q
relief-dispensing body, but a finan-
cial federation Of "a agencies, and that
the most fair and effective distribu-
ton of funds demands that each
of the agencies shall regard its activi-
ties as part Of an integrated program
and shall trust and respect the other
member agencies.
Emphasizes Balanced Power.
He emphasized the value of a bal
ance of power between the Chest
and the Council of Social Agencies.
A dominating Chest, he said, may
lead to unscientific planning. The
best distribution of funds is likely
to prevail, he added, when the budget
of the Chest is guided by scientific
advice concerning needs, which the
council can make available.
"It isn't enough" he declared, "to
explain that we're doing the best we
can. We want to be able to say that
we're doing the best that can be done
through expert social planning"
Preceding the address by Willett,
the council heard reports from its
standing committees
Salaries Being Studied.
Mrs. Harry Bernton, representing
the Board of Members Council, de-
scribed survey being made Of salaries
Of Washington social workers in COM
parison with salaries of social workers
in other cities. Her figures indicated
that Washington is generally at the
bottom of the salary scale. The only
class Of social workers which has q
salary level above the minimum set
by other cities of corresponding size
is the group employed by the health
agencies, she said.
Reporting on the relief situation in
the District, Elwood Street, director
Of the Board Of Public Welfare, said
that the relief load Is decreasing
steadily because Of the transfer Of
relief clients to w. p. A. projects.
"Our big problem now," he said,
"is to provide supplementary funds for
persons who do not receive q sufficient
wage from work-relief projects"

PAROLE VIEW

It is Criminals" not "prison
ers,' who "think that the parole
system and most parole boards are
"a lot of hooey'," Inspector Frank
s. w. Burke, chief of the Detec'
tive Bureau, declared today in an
Swering informally a request for
an explanation of his testimony
before the House subcommittee
investigating crime conditions in
the District in which this Language
was used.
Attorney Wilbur La Roe, jr., a
member of the Parole Board of
the District, addressed a letter to
the inspector quoting him as hav'
ing said this was the opinion OF
'most prisoners" and ending:
"'It would be helpful to the
parole board if you would ex.
plain this statement"
Asked by The Times today for
his comment, Inspector Burke
said:
What I said was that this
is the opinion of most crimi-
nails After all, it is only the
criminals opinion. 1 expect
to answer Mr.. La Roe fully
very shortly, in writing, and
will say this to him. The
opinion quoted is not that of
the police or myself"

Noted Masters Works
Barred as Kreisler's

VIENNA, Feb. 8 Q.N.SO .-Ex.
poses of musical plagiaristS who
seek to attain glory by placing
their own names on compositions
of others are frequent, but the
story of how Fritz Kreisler, the
violinist, added luster to classic
names by writing music which he
attributed to famous maestros
was revealed today for the first
time after 80 years.
Critics and musicians have ad-
mired works they thought were
by Couperin, Vivaldi, Porpora,
Padre Martini, or Pugnani, great
composers of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries.
Their true authorship was first
publicly indicated when, in New
York, catalog issued by Carl
Fischer, Inc, named Kreisler as
their composer.
The struggles of a young con.
cert violinist lie back of their
composition, Kreisler explained to
international News Service. He
said:
Thirty years ago, when 1
was 80 years old, 1 wanted to
increase my programs of my
own work, but realized it would
be diSadvantageOuS to have a
series Of works played by KreiS-
Ter and written by Kreisler, so
I was forced to use other sigma
lures. They were composed in
the style of the cIassicists to
whom I attributed them, but
carried my name as tran
ScriptOr."
Musical sources in Vienna, how.
ever, added the suggestion that
rivalry in the concert world 30
years ago would have prevented
other artists using the work of an
unknown composer.

More than 500 men and women
have been arrested since the drive

der secret orders from Commis-
sioner Lewis Valentine.
Although not officially con.

as a move to show the legisla-

law now virtually forces them to
prove the motive of suspects,
making convictions difficult and

NEW TAX PLAN
FOR DISTRICT
STUDIED
Scheme Would Let Citizens
Deposit Money in Small
Amounts to Meet Levy

District officials are considering
a plan for tax payment ease
ment" under which property own
ers could open a savings account
with the Collector of Taxes for
the purpose of accruing sufficient
funds for tax and assessment pay
ments, it was learned today.
Tax Assessor William P. Rich
ards revealed that three plans
have been submitted to him and
that he favors the general prin-
ciple of easing tax payments but
is not committed to any specific
method.
Harrison F. Hall, audit clerk in
the assessors office, has submitted
plan similar to that now in
operation in Baltimore, Detroit
and several other cities.
Deposit Money
Under Mr.. Halls proposal a
property owner whose income is
"scanty or irregular" could deposit
into the tax savings account any
amount convenient to him.
The money would not draw in
terest, but when the deposit reach
ed a sufficient amount it would
be applied to the tax bill and a
receipt would be issued.
Mr.. Hall said the savings &C
counts could be operated by the
office of the Tax Collector or an
intermediate office to act as a
buffer between the Tax Collector
and Tax Assessor could be created.
Delinquent accounts, Mr.. Hall
pointed out, could be budgeted so
that the property owner could
make regular payments >on the
total sum of delinquency and in
this way stay tax sale.
These payments could be made
at a scale proposed by the de-
inquent and this scale would
have to be rigidly adhered to-.
Redemption Plan
The District, Mr.. Hall said,
could redeem property sold for
taxes at the request of the original
property owner and the property
would be returned to its owner at
sum not over eight per cent in
tereSt.
Under present arrangements a
property owner must pay IL per
cent, costs and reasonable
profit" on the investment of the
TooIcOVo sxyon 1o1IrnhocoI tho TOW
sale property.
In letter to Mr.. Richards,
the chief assessor of taxes Of
Baltimore described the operation
of the tax savings plan there as
highly successful. He said:
81 consider it one of the best
things inaugurated in many
years, both for the city and the
taxpayer"
