S1OO IN ART PRIZES
VOTED BY CORCORAN
Gallery Will Make Awards for
Paintings in Independent
Exhibition.

The Board of Trustees OF the Cor
coran Gallery OF Art at its regular
quarterly meeting has voted the sum
Of 500 for additional prizes for the
Greater Washington First Annual In
dependent Art Exhibition now in
progress at nine of Washington's lead
ing stores.
No provisions were attached to this
contribution by the gallery to the
cause OF art. Those in charge of the
exhibit. which is evoking widespread
interest and which is sponsored by the
Washington Post and the District
Federation of Women's Clubs. decided
to split the sum into two prizes of $50
each. One is for the best oil painting
and one for the best water color work
which. in each case. has not yet re-
ceived an award in the exhibition
An interesting angle to these awards
is that the winning paintings will be
chosen BY the six artists who have
thus far won concentrations in these
respective fields. Bernice Gross, Eben
F. Comins and Reeves Euler will select
the Corcoran oil winner. while the
water color winner will be chosen BY
Robert Franklin Gates, Catherine
Hubbard and Roy Clark
In q letter of transmittal of the
prizes to Mrs. Eugene Meyer yesterday
c. Powell Minnigerode, director of the
Corcoran Gallery. stated that the gal
lery's trustees were unanimous in their
desire to have q modest part "in the
splendid project you have in hand fol
the benefit of the artists in Washing
ton and expressed the hope that the
exhibition will enjoy the highest
measure of success
All CT the nine exhibition halls were
crowded yesterday and this morning
it was announced and the sale Of pic.
tures is progressing favorably.

two Brooklyn suspects, charged with

The testimony was given by Eugene
Bryant, Miami Beach detective chief
who said he was instrumental in the

Montone and Charles Cali. the sus-
poets, alleeedly entered Mrs. Bells
suite, took her jewels and robbed her
companion. Harry Content. New York

Another $1,000. Bryant said. was to

Bryant testified that on the after
noon OF March l8 Jack Kehoe. as
sistant to Fred Pine, county solicitor
told him in a telephone conversation
that I'll have to have $500 more for
the fat man.
The term 'fat man." police officers
told newspaper men, commonly Is
used by racketeers to designate the
head man of a racket.
Did you say anything to Kehoe
over the telephone about his getting
q shsre?" asked Special Prosecutor
George Worley.

was to get $500, and he said, When
l get that reward am going to take

New Taxation Pla Ms.

A unique new tax plan is being
talked about in Treasury circles. 1t
would DO three things: G) Reduce
income rates below 5000. 90 reduce
exemptions to make the little fellows
all pay something. 80 boost rates in
the middle brackets snd on inherit
ance taxes.
You may or NAV not hear some
thing about this before Congress ad
journs. But you will hear about ii
eventually. for this Is the line along
which the Treasury brain men are
thinking.
1t may sound, o6hand, hike a
con tusing idea, bat it is really ,UeH
thought out. The great bulk OF
the population fand the poters)
is in classes underneath 5000.
1t Would cost the Treasury little to
grant many of them a tar reduc-
tion before the merit election. The
little tello,DS, NON exempt, Mould be
tapped for only teW cents apiece.
To make it more popular, the
$4,000 and up class could be
soaked again.
The best indications now are that
this plan will wait until next session,
just prior to the presidential cleo
tions. However, 1t Is the basis Of
what Speaker Byrns had in mind a
week or so ago when he significantly
mentioned the subject Of tax reduce
tion to the House.
Scuff1e for Job.
A fancy inside Scuffie is taking
place between candidates for Houser
Moffett's IF. H. A. job
Most active are the friends of Ward
Canaday, advertising man. who ship
ped out 861a tons of F. H. A. litera-
ture during the first six months of
that organizations existence. He Is
supposed to have the backing of
Commerce Secretary Roper. A bid for
Farley support has been made in his
behalf.
Moffett is supposed to favor Stew
ard Macdonald, one-time St. Louis
police commissioner and ex-head Of
Moon Motors.

agencys headquarters because their
agents came to the camp urging them
to attend Communist meetings
McEntee declared that in years TO
come the work Of the c. c. C. would
pay back every dollar expended on
the corps
The total cost to the Federal Gov
eminent for the emergency conserva-
ton work program has been 1851 900. =
600. up to and including February,
1885" McEntee declared of this
amount. S203, 900 900 has been sent in
allotment checks direct to the fam
lilies of the young men. About S25.-
600, 900 has gone into the purchase
of land.
Industry Benefited.
Our cost records show that indus
try has benefited materially by this
work. Millions OF dollars have been
spent on construction, purchase OF
food and clothing and in transporta-
ton charges. The estimated material
value of the work as given by techni-
cal agencies is $685. 100000. This
amount makes no effort to take into
account the great saving by reduced
fire hazards, insect pest control. etc,
which will accrue in the years TO
come as a result OF the corps work -
Many members attending the cele-
bration were dressed in their old Co.
lonial uniforms adding much color
to the function.

~ for Huey in his hair pulling
4 n fracas with P. w. A. Director
Ickes. They would never
enter into it publicly, but the fact is
some of their States have suffered
many similar troubles with the dis
penser of Federal largess. 1t is 4
case Of misery appreciating even such
bad company as Huey.
Any close observer could see they
rather enjoyed seeing Huey yank at
the wispy locks OF Mr.. Ickes. A couple
of them came up to him later and
told him so. They did not know or
care much about the facts in the
case Nor did they like the idea Of
dragging in President Roosevelt's s
name. Privately they felt Huey was
leading himself into forensic excuses
which may ruin his case. Yet any one
attacking Mr. 1ckes might be con-
sidered in q sense as their friend.
Thus, for the first time in his life
or theirs. Huey found himself being
patted on the back in the cloa krooms
by some of his enemies.

The administration is going to some
length to avoid appearances of inter-
ference with the States. II you ask
about what happened to all the bills
they sent out for the State legis-
latures to pass the New Dealers will
shift you from department to de-
partment without an answer. 1t is
an indisputable fact, however. that 2l
State legislatures have now adjourned
without enacting many Of the bills
suggested by the p. w. A.. F. H. A..
N. r. A.. F. E. r. A., r. D. I. c. and
F. c A.
EUen the NeW Dealers admit thot
the number OF State legislatures
WFlich haze fallen in line is "uery
small. Indeed there appears to
be good ground for suspecting that
the legislatures generally sulked in
silent rebellion against most OF the
State legislation sent to them from
Washington.
The p. w. A. prepared as many as
500 bills for all the State legislatures.
The most received by any one State
was 20 and the lowest was 6. The
! bills vary in each State due to local
laws. Their general objective is to
remove limitations on powers Of States
and localities TO borrow money. issue
bonds and engage in public works.
Coercion Denied.
The failure Of the legislatures leaves
the P. w. A. in an acute situation.
P. W. A-ers say it would not be
accurate to say that a State failing
to cooperate would be denied p. W. A.
funds. Yet it Is fairly well understood
here and elsewhere that the States
and governors who play ball will re-
ceive "a better opportunity" for con-
sideration in Washington.
OF course. you understand the New
Dealers all insist this Is not coercion.
Both Mr.. Ickes and Secretary Perkins
in connection with social security
legislation) say they sent out the bills
mostly on request and are not check
ing on what happened to them.
In the case OF the r. H. A.. HON
eDer. Mr.. Roosevelt has publicly
requested governors to push the
iaWs through. He has succeeded
80 far in 81 States.
Sharp Trading Tactics.
Trimmings suffered in the world
marts by the Yankee traders of the
New Deal have not been widely ad-
vertised, but there have been several.
Most interesting is that one arranged
by the export-import bank whereby
the Pullman Co. could make impor-
tant sales to Brazil. Under it, Pull
man underbid the Germans. Then
the Germans withdrew their bid and
put in q new one. still lower. 1t was
based on an exchange of Brazilian
cotton for German cars. So the
Germans got the business.
What makes the Yankee traders
reel slightly Is the fact that the
Brazilian German deal involved the
same principle they rejected in deal
ing with Germany and one Of the
reasons they rejected it was because
protests came from-you guessed it
Brazil.

frances Nash Pianist Gets Ovation at Symphony Concert

1t was really one of the best con-
certs the National Symphony Or
chestra has ever played, that given
last night in Constitution Hall,
the first of this year.
Perhaps it was the rest of the
holiday season which instilled new
vigor in the orchestra and the con.
ductor. But, whatever it was, they
gave a concert which would COM
pare favorably with any orchestra
in the country.
And then, of course, to make
the evening a memorable one,
there was the great Mcdowell
Concerto in D Minor, played by
one of Americas outstanding
pianistS, Frances Nash, whom
Washington can claim as its own.
Perfect Execution
1t is a dynamic composition, this
concerto, distinctly American, ris-
ing to a magnificent finale that
calls for perfect execution. And
Miss Nash gave just this-dazzling
speed. tremendous power, mar
velouS touch.
The Washington times., 1935-01-11

Her power is tremendous, and
she we'll deserved the ovation
which she received. The piano
dominates the orchstra in this con-
certo, and Miss Nash was master
of the instrument.
The stage resembled a florists
shop at the conclusion, as ushers
staggered down the aisles and
tossed bouquet after bouquet to
the tall, smiling artist who took
bow after bow.
The rest of the program was a
triumph for the orchestra. From
the exquisite seventeenth century
ballet suite of Rameau-Mottl which
opened the program, to that tre-
mendous "Finlandia" of SibeliuS
which closed the program, the
orchestra gave one of the finest
performances it has ever given.
Charming Ballet
The ballet, of that stately French
school, with its charming minuette
and we'll known Tambourin, was
ideal to open the program, placing
The Washington times., 1935-01-11

the audience in just the mood for
what was to follow. This was the
first time this work has ever been
presented here.
Then came one of the greatest
works of Beethoven, The Seventh
Symphony in A Major, rythmic,
joyous and dominated by the ALE
gretto movement, one of the most
beautiful passages ever written.
DR.. Hans Kinder paused in his
conducting to make a little speech
to the audience, one of the largest
of the season. It seemed unfor-
tunate that he had to talk money
in the middle Of such a pro-
gram-but orcheStras must be
supported, as he pointed out.
Support Urged
It has been a struggle to start
an orchestra and keep it going,
he truly said, and urged that the
citizens of the Capital have pride
in their orchestra and give further
support.
That such support is worthy
was evident, not from his words

request that it go to work imme-
