A looksee at Hal Kemp and his
musickers, who are headlining the
Earle bill this week, in their first
Washington engagement since
1923, and the vaudeville days Of
the Palace Theater.
Halls 30, halls from Alabama,
and plays the violin, piano, wind
and reed instruments.
His first real break came in
1924 when he gathered his Club
Carolina Band, and carried them
overseas for a summer engage
ment at the Piccadilly, in London.
This Club Carolina aggregation
were North Carolina U. boys and
the Britishers liked them so jolly
well that the lads had quite time
getting back to their fall classes.
Six of this original band are still
with Hal.
Since that engagement Hal has
been playing the best spots, hotels
and radio programs there are to
offer, his longest engagement be-
ing the Blackhawk Restaurant,
Wabash and Randolph Streets,
Chicago, during the World Fair.
In 1881 at the New Year Eve
broadcasts over N.B.C. and CHS.
there came, not only something of
a record, but also a small yarn.
The Kemp thirteen played a
coast to coast program over N.B.C.
and an hour later did a round
the-world broadcast over CHS.
This in itself is quite a lot of ter
ritory to cover in the small space
Of couple hours.
The band is set for Atlantic
City Steel Pier in July and the
summer season. Also he goes into
the Hotel Pennsylvania in N. Y,
October / to June /, to fill a con-
tract for the winter season.
The two sphinx, complacently
resting on the long bridge at the
entrance to National Park Semi

eyes the hustle of activity at the
"Odeon" theater.
They've view the we'll gowned,
and the smart tailored, passing
through the portals of this elegant
little playhouse before, and like
their great, great grandma, with
tourists on her nose in the desert,
they never take it to heart.

Inns" in this initial offering by
the Civic Theater group. and to
top it all off, he has to fall down
the steps "a dozen Of them) at
every rehearsal.
Human bodies sometimes prove
frail things to knock about in,
and so we find the director with
his back and wrist tapped to the
hilt. No fallings down steps until
tonight, but tonight and every
other night this week. you'll see a
most realistic (and painfully scene

In fact, being in a wondering
mood, ponder on the IL out
standing song hits of the last 20
years as listed by the music pub

by Maestro Kemp. They are:

The list contains some surprises,
according to Hal Kemp. There
could be no question about st.
Louis Blues,'" he says. I'm fact,
that is number that will prob
ably continue as long as there
are dance bands anywhere"
'Darktown Shutters Bali is
a bit of a surprise, however. I
don't think we have ever been
requested to play it, although
such tunes as 'Dinah,' Let Me
Call You Sweetheart and Sweet
Mystery of Life are almost always
in demand.
"'Alexander's Ragtime Band
one of Irving Berlin's very first
tunes, is another surprise. I did
not believe that it was in great
demand any more. But it must
be.
"'Down by the Old Mill Stream
is sweet tune, though-and a
good one. But we have yet to
play 'Glowworm'!"
All good songs but "Sweet Mys-
terry of Life" is the only one
which would go on my favorite
list.
My Favorites
In case Maestro Kemp is puz-

If THE STATES ARE IMPOTENT-

MUCH muddy thinking about the Constitution
and states rights will be clarified by reading
the decision of Federal Judge Elwood Hamilton of
Kentucky upholding the Guffey Coal Control Act
The people of the states, he said gave to the Con-
gress the right to promote the general welfare in
cases where the states could not do this acting alone
The facts show that the states alone could not re-
habilitate the btuminous coal industry Inasmuch
coal is interstate industry Congress can legs-
late concerning it from the beginning of its move
ment until its ultimate delivery to a consumer or
producer This from the time the miner be-
gins to dig
THE Congress" he said, should first determine
if the act proposed is in the interest of the general
welfare second can the states acting independently
accomplish the result third, if not should the CEN
trail government take action, and fourth search the
Constitution for authority to carry into statutory
form the demands of the people for governmental
action. If state action is mpotent, Federal action
is imperative if public necessities demand. ="
1t is, he said, "constitutonaly and economically
absurd" to expect the states to control products
nationally distributed.
To deny power in such field to the national
government is tantamount to saying there shall be
no legislation. When the states fail or are
unable to perform public duty, the doctrine of
states rights should not be barrier to the Federal
government rendering essential service to the hu-
man race"
Here is opinion that goes considerably beyond
legalstic interpretations of the Constitution
1t goes beyond the Schechter decision. But it is
realistic in facing the facts of great interstate
industries that sprawl state lines defying
states to regulate them in the interests of the peo-
pie Legalists will quarrel with it, will industries
that want neither state nor Federal interference"

BOTH PROFIT, NEITHER LOSES

THE United States and Canada have at last
signed a reciprocity trade treaty
1t is reported that the treaty reduces the tariff on
700 items of commerce between the two countries
and that special interests in both lands are sure to
protest vehemently and abusvey. Suffice 1t to say
that the treaty would not be worth its salt it failed
to arouse abusive protest
Ii the treaty did nothing more than arrange q
reciprocal exchange of pine needles and pumper-
nickel bread, we should expect the oppositionsts in
this country to proclaim loudly that those shrewd
Canadians had made suckers out of us, and the op-
postionists in Canada to declare that those clever
Yankee traders outsmarted their innocent neigh
DORIS Thus it has always been, ever since the idea
OF tariff was invented and the fallacy that trade
can move on a one-way street was first embraced
as a political creed.
over the years Canada has bought from the
United States about twice as much as the United
States has bought from Canada. When keeping such
good customer Canada is at stake we hardly
believe it possible for the United States tc sign a
bad treaty.

DON'T DOGGLE THIS BOON

DA1D piopagandiStS in Washington have taken over
job begun by volunteer propagandists in New
York several months ago. 1t is the job of discredt-
ing every type of made-work attempted by the Ad-

Whoever invented it, it's a good word and
amusing. But it is being put to pretty bad use. 1t
is being applied to every sort of job that seems or
can be made to seem unimportant
Counting chickens Ha, ha. ha! Boondoggling!
DoIt explain that counting chickens was part of a
serious effort to break up vicious New York busi-
racket that affected honest dealers as we'll as
consumers; that had to do with holding down ex-
tortionate prices and keeping diseased poultry off

Tap dancing Ho, no. no! Boondogglng! Ignore
the fact that tap dancing is something which peo-
pie pay money to see, when they have money and
is considered honorable profession; that when
prosperity returns there will be demand for those
tap dancers if they haven't become ditch diggers-
or starved TO death.

BACK TO PRIVATE BUSINESS

NN every hand is evidence that the Roosevelt Ad-
~ ministration is passing the nations economic
responsibilities back to private business And for
tunatey there are some indications that private
business is preparing to reassume these response
bilities
Orders to tighten their belts have gone out from
the White House to the various government agencies
as the Administration prepares budget narrowing
the gap between revenue and expenses in the next
fiscal year: with intent to close that gap as soon as
possible.
Secretary Roper, re-interpreting the Presidents
recent promise of breathing spell" says that prac
tcay all of the Administrators reform program is
now on the statute books and that steady green sig
nails on clear right of way stretch ahead of busi-
ness.
Outbiddng the bankers, who in convention petit
ton the government to retire from competition in
lending, New Deal spokesmen at New Orleans invite
them to take off the governments hands such as
sets as RFC and PWA bonds and HOLC mortgages
representing transactions that have contributed
much to the governments great bookkeeping deficit.
The bankers admit, through their resolutions
committee, that government deficits of the last six
years "in part have been justified by efforts to re-
lieve human suffering" but say conditions which
necessitated heavy government outlays have passed
to large extent, and that the obligation now rests
upon private banking institutions to demonstrate
that they are able to meet the demands for business
credit
The key to providing jobs for the 90 per cent
of American workers still idle says the bankers
policy committee, is in floating long-term loans for
manufacturing and utility industries, thereby stin-
ulating the heavy industries where unemployment
has remained most acute.
The bankers have completed their diagnosis. The
Roosevelt Administration more than eager to
withdraw and let private enterprise fill the pre-
scrption. But the convalescent patient can not
attain recovery promises alone.
