RACKET PROBERS
POISED TO STRIKE
Job of Chief Investigator

NEW YORK, July 27.-Gotham's
racket-smashing machine was tuned
tonight for what promised to become
the city's greatest crime hunt, but the
job Of chief investigator, spearhead
for the assault on vice, gambling and
extortion, was going begging.
His choice limited among less than
q dozen men and all Of them in the
Federal service, Thomas z. Dewey, 80
year-old prosecutor extraordinary, had
been unable to persuade one to take
the $7,500-a-year post for the sweep
ing probe to open Monday.
$4,000 Salary Sought.
He was determined to ask Mayor
r. H. La Guardia and the budget d.
rector to boost the pay to $4,000.
hoping the extra compensation would
attract the man he wants, probably
from the Intelligence Unit Of the
TreaSury's Division Of Internal Rev
enue.
Known to be among Dewey's first
choices were Elmer Trey, head Of the
unit in Washington; E. A. Palmer of
Atlanta, Ga, who built up successful
policy racket prosecutions here in
1881, and Frank Wilson, an agent who
helped to convict AL Capone in Chi
cago. AL of them refused the $3.50
job.
Dewey built up his entire organiza-
ton with the objective Of creating
absolute independence Of politician

Theme Of Air for G-Sting," by J. S. Boch

What can be done about the
American composer? Henry Had
ley, the noted American composer
and conductor claims that we
need the opportunity to hear our
own composers. Because of the
difficulty in getting American
works placed on the programs Of
our symphony orchestras, stu
dents of real ability in many cases
have abandoned music as a pro-
fession. AS long as these condi-
tons obtain, Mr.. Hadley believes
that we cannot develop our native
musical talent.
When Mr.. Hadley appears as
guest conductor in England, he is
approached by a representative
of English composers and is firm
ly asked to include the works of
some English composers on all
his programs, as they feel it is
their business to protect their
artists. In arranging programs
in South America, he is required
to include at least one work by
a composer of the country in
which he is conducting.

JURY,
EXPERTS COST
STATE S1,343

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 3.-The
board of Montgomery county COM
missionerS today approved three
bills, totaling $1,343.80, for the
States expert witnesses in the
Lyddane trial last month, which
ended in a jury deadlock when IL
jurors could not agree as to
whether Mrs. Lyddane had plot
ted to kill her husband, Francis
"Slom" Lyddane.
GullickSon Paid $475
A bill for $475 for Ira N. Gull
dickson, typewriter and handwrit.
ing expert, was among the three
approved by the board. Mr.. Gull
dickson charged the State $375
for his examination of the alleged
"Googy' note and the typewriter
involved in the testimony.
He charged an additional $50 a
day for his two days of testimony
in the trial of John Martin b.
land, alleged coconspirator of
Mrs. Lyddane, who was found
guilty and sentenced to three
years and nine months in the
Maryland House of Correction.
Bert c. Farrar, examiner of ques-
toned documents of the Treasury
Department, charged the State
$480 for his examination and 500
day for two days in court in
both the Boland and Lyddane
trials. He also charged $40 for an
assistant who sat in court.
Approved by Pugh
The third bill approved by the
board was for $168.80 to pay for

appeared before the board to ex-
plain the bills and on his assertion
that they were not excessive the
board approved them.

Favoring Americans

Has anyone ever heard of any
prominent European conductor
coming to our shores and even
have the suggestion made to him
to include some works of an Amer.
lean composer? We are all wait
ing for the American Beethoven"
but like Mark Twain and the
weather, little is done about it. DR..
Hans Kinder made a noble effort
to give representative American
composers a hearing in a special
program last February with the
National Symphony. Yet the
Washington music lovers patro-
nized this concert with a poor at
tendance.
Would not the cause of Ameri.
can composers be better served if
one American composition should
be placed on each program
throughout the season? The
Marine, Navy and Army bands
seldom play program, whether
symphony orchestra or band con-
cert, without including one or
more works of American com.
posers. Probably half of all their
concerts are heard from one end
of the country to the other o"er
the radio.
Paul Whiteman has probably
done as much as any one con-
ductor to encourage American
composers and his orchestra is
still self-supporting. True, much
of his music must perforce be that
of the popular dance type, but he
continually presents much that is
of the higher symphonic type.
Last summer, Mr.. Whiteman con-
Quoted special concerts with his
own orchestra combined with the
New York Philharmonic Orches.
ira of New York city, the Phila-
delphia Symphony Orchestra and
the Cincinnati Symphony Orches-
ira. In each case all available
seats were taken up. At the New
York lewiston Stadium, Mr..
Whiteman played to an audience
of 10000, where the average size
of audience for the summer con-
certS was about 5000. If Paul
Whiteman might be included in
the summer series with the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra, it
would do much to popularize the
organization and add to the
finances.
We may hope to see the day soon
when one or more compositions
by American composers will be
placed on practically all SYM
phonic programs. Then the Ameri-
can composer will have the proper
encouragement; and the develop
ment of American music will be
more rapid.

Cries Shame to Congress
On Mothers Treatment

To the Editor of The Times:
I must say that poor farmer,
his wife and little children were
given a warm welcome at the
Capitol the other day. Imagine
treating a citizen so. They
should be ashamed of them
selves. They are some mothers
sons and their mothers probably
nursed them. Anyway, its GER
tain they had to be fed in some
way. They couldn't be made to
wait.
Pioneer women nursed their
babies anywhere and even had
public statutes made of them
feeding their babies from their
breasts. Why was it so undig-
nified for Mrs. Parker to nurse
her little one when she was
hungry? I don't see anything
indecent about that. If it had
been some young lady sitting
there exposing her dandy knees
perhaps it would have been
more appreciated. and not spoil
their dignity. If that is all
that goes on at the Capitol
am sure their dignity is spared.
I am the mother of four
children and I nursed my babies
anywhere except the Capitol,
and I see no reason for that to
be an exception. Why you see
more than that walking along
the streets-with their sun-back
dresses and their pajamas ex-
posing them dreadfully. How
about the nude statues in the
parks right under the Capitol.
And shorts that think are
more disgraceful than a poor
loving mother doing her duty
by her little hungry baby.
