ClClQdClOn III CIle eVeIlCS pldIlIlcO
A most significant slogan has been
adopted this year. Broadcast over
the country has gone the word to
conserve our musical assets" perhaps
the first time that a call has been
sent out to consider and take
cognizance of our own musical en-
deavors. Thus the National Music
week has touched a national feeling
and called on q national pride, some
thing that needs development, espe-
cially in the musical sense. Too long
have we been humble as to our talent
and reticent in claiming the place
we should have as a progressive musi-
cal country.
The musical advancement of other
lands, of which we are justly sincere
admirers, has happened logically with
out undue effort on the part of public
spirited individuals. The value OF
music as a civic force was probably
never talked of, because it was un-
thinkable that it should not be part
of every event, whether social or civic
Generation after generation added its
store of musical production, participa-
tion or simply appreciation until the
love of music was firmly embedded in
the nature of the peoples, springine
spontaneously to the surface at the
slightest impulse.
Faced with the hardships Of pioneer
ing in a unknown country our ances-
tors had little time or heart for music
Except in rare instances, 1t was pushed
aside until it became a strange art
seemingly intricate and difficult to
understand. Not until many hac
grown to know its depths and it,
magic was any energetic attempt made
to incorporate it in the national life
Keen, finely trained minds concen-
trated on the problem and generou!
patrons stood ready to help with every
undertaking. The result IS seen ir
our conser vatories and music schools
the music sections of all clubs, thl
music festivals, the scholarships anc
awards and other practical encourage.
ment for further education. Tht
concert audiences and the various
musical group activities show how
great has become the appreciation o.
music in the few years of organization
Many fine talents have been un'
earthed in this process of building
up opportunities for attaining knowl
edge of music. The lobe of talent ir
this country has not reached an!
point of exhaustion and we are nov
faced with the problem of handling
1t in the correct way. The per-
formances of Music week bring init
the open what progress has been made
and how different sections Of the
country and different musical groups
are working to that end.

LEH[bACH ASSA|[S
BLANTON IN HOUSE
Texan Accused of Abusing
Congressional Record
Privileges.

Representative Lehlbach, Repub-
1ican, of New Jersey today censored
Representative Blanton, Democrat, of
Texas for having, lever since he has
been a member of Congress, consist
emily abused his privilege with re-
spect to the Congressional Record"
Representative Lehlbach held in
his hand the original transcript of
debate in the House last week in re-
gard to immigration. in which Blan-
ton had said "one unlawful alien now
here is aWfully anxious to go back
to his native country. That is Bruno
Hauptmann, and we are going to send
him back"
Lehlbach pointed out that when he
had asked under what circumstances
he or any one else is going to return
Bruno Hauptmann," Blanton had
changed the record to say that law
and order are going to send him back
to where he belongs by way of the
electric chair" Lehlbach also had
emphasized it was the State of New
Jersey that tried and convicted Haupt-
mann. The revised transcript of re-
marks showed that Blanton had so
changed his original remarks as to
make the subsequent statements by
Lehlbach appear ridiculous" the New
Jersey member said.
When Blanton attempted to inter-
rupt Lehlbach, the latter refused to
yield. saying you'll not garble any
thing I am saying now
Lehlbach reminded his colleagues
that several years ago Blanton came
within few votes of being expelled
for "a most shameful abuse of the
Record" He said that in the present
instance he would not ask to have the
record corrected, but lam going to let
it stand as a typical example of the
character and service of the gentle
man from Texas" He was applauded.
Blanton Immediately got the priv
ilege of the floor to reply and stated
that House Leader Mondell, who had
offered the motion for his expulsion,
is nov a forgotten man and that
only handful Of the members are left
who had voted to eXpel him. He told
his colleagues he had sold farm to
paw for sending copies of his statement
regarding that episode to every voter

"Russianization" of U. S. Agri-

Bankhead Bill.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
"Russianization" of American agri-
culture into "a Government-sustained
peasantry" was viewed by the Amer
ican Liberty League yesterday as a
probable" result of enactment of the
Bankhead farm tenant bill
The measure, by Senator Bankhead,
Democrat. of Alabama. proposes a
billion dollar corporation to assist
tenant farmers and other agricultural
workers in financing purchase of
family-Size farms.
Terming this "a step toward social
ization of agriculture" the league
contended many tenants and share
croppers were not trained to manage
farms and that unless the Govern
ment used harsh measures these
farmers soon would be living on pub

IN RE. OUR NAT.

Ambassador Jodan'ls, up from Mexico City TO
see Washington and the home-folks, pass the time
o day with the boys at the shop and get in few
public addresses including commencement speeches,
has come far ways, but not far, this household
journal and we-wisher conceives, as he went all
in the course of one deliverance upon the Wake
Forest rostrum at last weeks finals.
Mr. Daniels hooked our old patriot, fellow cti-
zen and live-aloner, Nathaniel Macon, up with the
brain trust and the new deal. Coming on the heels
of the Supreme Courts rejection of the NRA, the
address eulogized the social concepts of the ad-
ministration program and then got around to the
prescription of the spirit of Nathaniel Macon for
what ails the republic.
It may be that we have our history all wrong,
that some of the historians haven't done right by
the outlook of our Nathaniel But it sticks in our
head that Nat wished more than anything else not
to be bothered; his democracy was simple and
direct that it doubled backwards. Wasn't ne the
guy who stressed personal liberties, minimum OF
laws and governmental structures and interferences
to the vanishing point? Isn't he accredited with
wishing-maybe it a morning after ne
hadn't slept particularly well or had eaten some
thing that disagreed with him-to live so far from
his nearest neighbor that he couldn't the smoke
from his chimney hear his dog bark?
Granting that we have the right founding father
in mind can you imagine him and his spirit whoop-
ing it up for government which sent its agents
down to tell him how many acres of cotton and
tobacco to plant or advised him that he couldn
work the younguns about his place but so many
hours day or so many days week, If at all!
The deal is probably all right in its place. and
Nathaniel Macon was doubtless ditto in hls,n. IL
couldn't be that the ambassador was simply talking
about two other fellows in two other places.-The

ON the Tennessee Valley Authority that has MADE

According to the Chicago Tribune News Bureau
the report shows IVA has spent more than SZ'ooo'-
900 in an outright illegal questionable way IN
curing deficits in everything from power plants
to cafeterias and tossing thousands of dollars
around in an off-hand manner. 1t enumerates
among other things:
That IVA purchased cattle it had been previ-
otsly offered for 5000 per head, for as much rs
$3.50 per head and later sold them for less than
5000; 3d.. 'nr &@"a 49,, rss1. .sA - ''+.'

Offices in rented building costing $4,000 year,
in Knoxville, after reeonditioning the admnlstra-
tion building at Muscle Shoals, and then hired and
bought feet of airplanes and ears to carry enl-
ployes back and forth between the two towns;
That the IVA passed off shortages OF hundreds
of dollars occurring in its commissaries' by saying
that children had played with the cash registers;
That while iva is designed as a rate yardstick
for private utilities and should lay aside SI0eOOOO
year for depreciation it has actually laid aside
less than $4,000. 81 =. " '., "'."'
. The report is in the Presidents hands. He will
doubtless order full investigation. Then the tax
payers will have an interesting insight into the et-
ciency of government in business, and learn where
their money goes when public officials are given
complete and unqualified control of hundreds OF
millions of public dollars.-Charlotte Observer

A LONG SHOT

Somebody wrote DR.. H. c. Morrison, editor of
religious paper, who gets around much of the
country each year, asking his opinion from what
he had heard and seen of the presidential election
next year. His reply is lengthy but one paragraph
sticks out like stone bruise on boys bare foot.
That paragraph follows:
Il will make this assertion: If Judas Iscarict
could be resurrected, come back, prove his iden-
tity beyond doubt, promise and convince the money
mad multitude that if they would elect him presi-
dent of the United States every family should have
palace to live in, the finest car that could be built
and two or three hundred dollars month for
spending money, without any sort of work or effort
on their part, all perfectly free at the expense OF
some ,one ese,Ehe would be elected by tremendous
majority" ny
That statement will greatly encourage the presi-
Dental aspirations of Huey Long for, if Judas lsca-
riot could be elected president, Long should have
at least an outside chance of achieving that honor.
