KNOX OFFERS
G.0.P.PLANKS

BATAVIA, N. Y, Aug. % G.N.S).
Six proposed planks for the next
Republican national platform had
been laid down today by Col.
Frank Knox, Chicago publisher,
who has been mentioned as a
candidate for the 1885 G.. o. P.
presidential nomination. Colonel
Knox addressed a large Republi-
can rally here last night.
The planks he proposed are:
!. Immediate and drastic re-
duction Of governmental, ex-
penditures.
2. Maintenance Of national
credit by a Federal budget bal
anced annually.
3. A sound currency to be
preserved at all hazards.
4. Unemployment and old,age
insurance under State laws.
5. Strict and impartial en-.
forcement of antitrust laws to
prevent monopoly and unfair
trade practices.
6. Opposition to the unsound
policy of restricting agricultural
production.
Colonel Knox described these
plankS as rising above all party
questions.
He charged the Administration
with trying to wreck the ConStitu.
tion and substitute an "autocratic
executive for the type Of govern
ment the Constitution gave U.S."
He described the Constitution
as the greatest written document
providing for the government Of
people anywhere"

MINER ADMITS
Staying TWO
PARTNERS

AUBURN, Cal, Aug. % G.N.SO
Two murders under conditions
paralleling the lawless, rip-roar
ing days Of the Forty-Niners were
confessed by a 21-year-old pros
pector today police announced.
The confession solved the mys
terious disappearance Of James c
Kennett, SIS, of Chicago. He was
a partner Of Earl Kimball. alias
Cramer, the confessed slayer, in
q mining venture near Emigrant
Gap, Cal, authorities said.
Second Victim Unidentified
The other victim was an un
identified red-haired youth be
lieved to be a CCC worker, whose
body was found while the water
was being pumped from an aban
doned mine.
Investigators were still seeking
solution Of the disappearance ol
two other prospectorS, Fred Real
ing and j. J. johnson. Kimbal
was being questioned concerning
them.
Kimball's confession as revealed
by District Attorney L. L. Sparks
OF PGcer county, read in part:
Quarreled Over Supplies
81 met Kennett on a freight
train, and we lived together in
my cabin for about 10 days.
I'VE had been quarreling over
the buying Of supplies, and I
moved up to the old house be-
cause we were not getting along.
About noon one day I went to
Kennett's cabin.
"Kennett was outside. He had
o butcher knife and struck at
me. I had my rifle and shot him
in the head twice. hit him with
an AZ, dragged him down to the
lower shaft and threw him in. I
cashed q SIS check Of his in Au.

Kimball was almost casual, &C
cording to the prosecutor, in con

haired youth, whom he also me-
on a freight train and took to hi
cabin for companionship follow
ing the first murder. He said
according to the prosecutor:
''I took the kid down to camp.
One morning he took my rifle
and ran into the woods. 1
chased the son.Of-a.gun, and he
turned the gun on me. He took
and rode me around for a while,
shot . couple Of times at some
Stumps; and took me back to
the cabin.
II asked him for . cigaret,
and when he turned around
slipped III out my knife and
stabbed him twice, and then
shot him twice. 1t was self.

The Washington times., 1935-08-22
Persistent Rythm

The first and second measures
shown above give the persistent
rhythm that never stops for the
twenty minutes time the piece
runs. The second theme is a frag.
ment of the seemingly ailnlesS
wandering tune played in turn by
the different woodwind sections.
Though this and a similar second
theme are played over and over
the result is never monotonous.
AS the piece progresses, the mo-
mentum cannot be expressed by
solo instruments. and soon whole
sections take up the refrain.
When the composer has seem
ingly used all the orchestral
voices against each other, he adds
the celeSta and the various irStru-
ments play the tune in the har'
monies Of one group against the
fundamental Of another. Then
q meditation seems to add still
more power; Syncopated phrases
appear; the trombones bray forth
in glissando passages; and the
work ends in a eliminating mass
Of tone.
The steady rhythm Of the
drums without rest gives the ef
feet Of the old Chinese method Of
torture in which endless drops Of
water are allowed to fall on the
culprit's head. The repeated drops
would drive one into a frenzy and
eventually insanity. With all the
dynamic power and endless tonal
color displayed in this work, it is
good passing entertainment but
hardly great music.

series, DR.. Kinder gave as an en-.
core, Hungarian Dance No. g."
(Brahms). The orchestra seemed
to be at its best last night and
responded to DR.. Kinder with a
dash and enthusiasm greater than
that accorded most Of the guest
conductors.
The regular winter season Of
the National Symphony Orchestra
will open october 20. DR.. Kinder
promises many new and novel
works for the coming season and
hopes to add grand opera and bal
let performances to the next
Sunset Symphony" series.
The Washington times., 1935-08-22

The largest crowd that has ever
listened to a symphony concert in
the history Of the city Of Wash
ington assembled last night at
the Potomac Watergate to vel
come the return Of DR.. Hans
Kinder, director of the National
Symphony Orchestra, in the final
program Of the Sunset Sym
phony" series.
DR.. Kinder and the orchestra
were given tremendous ovatlons
throughout the concert. Setting
fast pace with the opening num-
ber, the hilarious "Carneval Over
ture," (Dvorak), DR.. Kinder re.
verted to the contrasting and
dignified wedding Procession, !"
from THE Marriage of Figaro"
(Mozart). Probably the most ap'
preciated work was the "Unfin'
ished Symphony by Schubert
with its wealth of beautiful melo'
dies that haunt one for a long
time after hearing it.
The second part of the pro.
gram, beginning with the quiet
and harmonious Dream Panto'
nine" from "Hansel and Gretel,
(Humperdinck), seemed to gather
dynamic force, through six Of the
"Nutcracker suite" selections
(Tschaikowsky) to the final 81
gantic masterpiece Of orchestra
ton and hypnotic rhythm, Ravels
"Bolero."
The frequent use Of the "Bol
ero," on the radio and in concert
hall since Toscanini introduced
the work with the Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra Of New York
in the fall of 1929, has made
Ravel almost an American ma
tional hero. The playing Of this
piece is usually accompanied by
wild excitement and enthusiasm
In fact when it was first given in
Paris in the fall of 1928 as the &C
compartment to a dance by Ida
Rubinstein, the combination OF
her dancing and the power Of the
rhythm of the "Bolero" caused a
young riot in which both audience
and actors were involved in q
melee.

HOW A LEGAL MIND WORKS

THE amazing way in which some persons
can follow legal Journalism regardless of
the human issues at stake is illustrated by a
current case in the Texas courts, where some
ones mistake in writing a date may mean the
difference between life and death for a con-
victed criminal.
A Texan was convicted of murder and
sentenced to e~lectrocution. Early in January
the then Governor, Miriam Ferguson, issued a
Communication, and the judge before whom the
case appeared prepared to change the sentence
to one of life Imprisonment. Then it was dis
covered that a careless clerk, in making out
the communication, had dated it Jan. 8, 1884,
instead of 1885.
So the judge has ruled the document in
valid and has sentenced the man to the cleo
trio chair on March 8!

AUSTERITY BREAKS DOWN

WE generally take it for granted that the
w British Parliament is the very home Of
parliamentary dignity. Other nations, includ-
ing our own, may send sons of the wild jackass
to represent them at their capitol; Britain
has an old tradition under which statesmen,
not politicians, are elected, and the House of
Common does not witness those wild and I'M
couth scenes which make exciting reading in
other seats Of government.
This conception. however, is rudely upset
by a reading of the recent furry which took
place in the House of Commons when a J Labor
member rose to relieve his mind on the subject
Of Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald. Here
are some of the things the man said:
HE is a mountebank. He should be flung
and h~orsewhipped from public life. He would
double-cross his own aunt. He attained power
on the pennies and half pennies of the people
and now he is robning them. When he dies,
he will be cursed by millions"
Undignifled and ill-considered as some of
our own congressional .outbursts may be, it
is a long time since any congressman has at
tackled the head of his government in terms
as wild as these.

certificates. There is no reason why either the
Treasury or the Postoffice should not conduct
this wholly business function.
Questionable is his proposal to remove from
the old-age security system all farm help,
domestics and casual workers. 1t is true that
the administration Of security benefits to these
classes is a difficult task. But it is also true
that, out Of the $4,000, 900 workers to come I'M
der the bills old-age- security provisions. no
group is so in need Of protection IN old age
as the s,500,OO0 farm. domestic and casual
workers. A score Of other countries operate
old-age insurance laws. The systems Of IL Of
these-Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy,
Belgium included-cover agricultural workers
and domestics. While casuals are included in
only the Italian and Hungarian systems. labor
is more stabilized on the continent than here.
Doubtless it will require time. patience and
craftsmanship to work out administrative
problems blanketing this lower third Of Amer
ica's wage-workers into the security system.
In the meantime, as Rep. Mccormack Of Mas
~sachusetts says, the act should count them in
as a matter of present policy and pledge Of
future protection.
IF We don't get them into the bill now"
he warns, I'VE never will"

AVOID RELIEF

ONE of the dangers we face in considering
~ any unemployment relief bill is the
chance that we may forget that unemployed
relief, no matter how it is set up or what
benefits it may provide, is in the end only a
substitute for something better.
Recent argument over different relief
measures seems to have taken it for granted
that there is. somewhere, a magic formula
which, if We only could find it, would solve
this vexing question forever.
1t is most important for us not to forget
that even the wisest relief bill is only a poul-
tice. Even if every idle worker in the land
were drawing ample relief allowances under
a scheme which magically prevented the fnan-
cial load from burdening the taxpayer, the
real problem would remain. We would still
face the task Of getting these idle men back
to work.
There is going on in Washington now a
lengthy argument between proponents Of diff
ferent kinds Of relief. One kind is typiied
by the Administrator relief measure, which
would operate through state systems and
would give jobless men an allowance ranging
somewhere around $50 a month.
The other. infinitely broader. is represented
by the Iundeen bill, now being discussed be-
fore a House subcommittee.
This bill would boldly pay all persons past
IS, who are joblesS through no fault of their
own, a weekly sum equal to the prevailing
wage rates in their locality. Those on part
time work would draw from the government
the difference between their part-time wage
and the prevailing wage.
Now this bill. naturally enough, is drawing
superlatives from each camp. People whose
viewpoint is that Of the political left are hail
ing it as a measure which will at last do jus
tice to the unemployed; conservatives, on the
other hand, see in it a piece Of extravaganza
which would commit the government to I'M
bearably heavy expenditures and would pro-
mote idleness.
What both sides are apt to miss is the fact
that our real problem is to arrange things
so that no unemployment relief bill win be
needed.
The immediate need may be n taks care

NEEDED REVISION

TREASURY SECRETARY MORGENTHAU
IL makes three suggestions for improving the
Administration bills old-age security provi-
sions. OF these two appear entirely reason
abe. one open TO question and further scrutiny.
Sound is his proposal to increase employer
worker contributions under the measure so as
to render the old-age security fund solvent
without imposing heavy burdens on future
generations" He would raise the security tax
rate from the bills l per cent to : per cent,
which would increase TO 6 per cent at the end
Of y years, instead Of 5 per cent at the end
Of 20 years.
In this way the fund can be built up quick
" and the government relieved Of onerous old
age pension costs TO care for workers now in
their 4Os and sos. Under the measure as it
stands the government would be paying
81. 5oo! 100000 in 1880. a milestone this genera
ton has no right to wish on q future one.
Reasonable also Is his suggestion that tre

MAN STILL

A ST. LOUIS man has just learned that
"A the old common law presumption that a
man is responsible for the acts of his wife
can still be invoked.
A st. Louis relief worker went to call on
a family which had been on relief for some
time, and an argument developed. Husband
and wife began calling her names, and be-
fore long the wife got angry enough to sail
in and start ~clouting her on the head.
Presently the husband and the wife were
arraigned in court. The judge refused to send
the wife to jail, because she had four children
to look after; instead, he gave the husband a
6O-day term, although the husband had not
lifted his hand during the set-to.
Here is an old-but-new slant on the ancient
question of husbandly responsibility, which, if
generally adopted, might give a good many
husbands food for sober reflection.
