No stage setting in the memory
of the present crop of playgoers
proved such show stopper as the
Norman Bel Geddes single scene in
Dead End" 1t stirred first night
ers to arresting braves. The vista
shows the pier of a slum street jut-
ting to the water. Glistening bod
les squirm up the dock posts from
their swim and all the figures in
the cluck and sag of the river edge
squalor-toughs who slug rats, har-
ried mothers of hoodlums, wharf
buns and blowzy Magdalems of the
jumping off places - are vividly
etched. A scene that swept play
! to a hit.

spade trick and two trump tricks
to lose, going down two tricks on
his small slam contract at hearts.
Had he shown both long suits, his
partner would have insisted upon
clubs as trumps, and a small slam
could not well have been missed.

 North passed and huFnstine n the East realized that North was not entirely out Q tthe bidding, but was waiting further develop- ments, and that he probably had support for diamonds. Also tt must he a strong diamond suit that Pray held. as he had stepped n to the three level.
 At this point Burnstine figured that if he bid four spades. Nogth and South undoubtedly would bid i've diamonds. Due to his great length in spades. HuFnstine felt that he and his partner had but little defense against the tve diAo mond contract. It might Dc set, but not over one trick. and doubled this would be only 100 points.
 However, If East and West could make four spades. even though they din not bid the game. they would he plus iT0 points. So hurnstine made the very smart decision sok re- fuslng to bid game, also figuring that south now would not bid four elamnnda for fea rof driving his opponents to a game contract.
 Tha Ia exactly what happened, South passed and East and West played the hand at three spades, making four. for plus i50 points on the board. Winning a board Hy refuslng to bid game Is indeed an unusual situation.

fresh magic and strange, new
adventures.
And it came to me that. un-
willingly, I had stumbled on the
secret of life. For often we turn
to life, as I had turned TO the
woods, seeking rest and renewal,
and are disappointed. The1e is
nothing there. Only some IA
miliar sights, some monotonous
sounds. Presently, even these
lose their power, and there is
only silence, emptiness.
What is the use of anything
all the dreams and struggling
if this is all there is? Good
enough for a picnic mood, per-
haps, but a bitter mockery if
one wants more!
So the disillusionment rises
around us like a wall-impris-
oning us, sometimes, for all our
lives. And yet, if we would but
look-if we would listen-every-
thing would be changed! For
alWay%going on all around us
there are sights and sounds
dulled spirits do not register.
ALL ABOUT US
NOT IN SOME NEW PLACE
SOME NEW FACE. SOME
NEW TASK. BUT IN THE
PLACE AND THE PERSON
AND THE JOB WE'VE AL
WAYS KNOWN.
But we only knew the surface
we never touched deeper lay
ers nor heard the finer calls.
A stranger might see and
hear all this, but we have
missed it. Calls and answers
%. flights and followings ..
challenges and adventures and
simple magic.
If we would only look-only
listen!
Life is not one thing. It is
many things. many voices. {.
many experiences. layer upon
layer of consciousness. And a
mans world is as wide, as tall
and as deep as he himself will
make it.
Life is endless. You can have
as much Of it as you wish,
right now. Only your own fear,
your own anger or your own
stupidity bars your way.

while I stood still. I was rest
less, resentful-wished I hadn't
come. The forest, I decided,
was sometimes overrated. Pretty
enough but meaningless. Good
only for picnic moods.
Then, gradually, I began to
notice the change. The silence
was no longer a dead weight.
It was thinning - retreating.
All around me the air was
quickening with the pressure
and presence of life. There
were low calls. .tiptoe rus
things.
Frail as a web, 1t grew and
grew-that delicate symphony
Of sound and movement. And
now there was no longer any
silence, nor any emptiness.
Everywhere there was a soft
Sighing-a faint, far crying.
And everywhere the sense OF
something fleeing, something
following.
FRESH MAGIC
Down the long isles; pur-
pling with dusk. into the
small clearingS where the last
light lay pooled, amber bright
across the swaying tree tops,
powdered with the first. pale

Everywhere the night quick

danced!
And something in me quick
ened with it. Almost it was as
if the night had opened itself
to me-taken me in. But, Of
course. that wasn't what really
had happened. Instead, I had
opened myself to the night.
Opened my eyes, my ears
my heart.
And I was hearing those
voices which lie below and above
all ordinary Sound-and feeling
those swift, delicate presSureS
that are too fine for ordinary
touch. Because Of this, the
whole world seemed different.

"Wealth Not Concentrated
In the Hands of a Few
By Fred G.. Clark
National Commander of The Crusaders
(From a Radio Talk

approximately eighty per cent
of the annual national income
produced-and the share in this
income has been growing stead
lily larger for the many instead
Of the few.
It is not necessary to guess
about this.
DAY OF WEALTH
In 1850, before the machine
age-a time when only few
people enjoyed real comforts in
their homes-thirty-eight per
cent of the total national in
come produced was paid to
wage and salary earnerS.
That was a day of real wealth
and income concentration.
In 1910, sixty years later,
fifty-four per cent Of the ma
tional income was paid to labor.
In 1880 the ratio had jumped
to IS per cent, in 1881 to rs per
cent and in 1882 over 80 per
cent of the total national in
come produced went to labor!
LOST MONEY
In 1882 the total national in
come produced was less than
40 billion dollars, and labor re-
ceived 81 billion 500 million of
this amount.
It left less than 8 billion dol
lars for all other purposes, and
in that year business itself and
the so-called wealthy men Of the
country actually lost 91a billion
dollars.
The Department Of Commerce
has just released a preliminary
statement showing that labor's
share of the national income
paid out was greater in 1884
than in 1929 by 21s per cent,
and that property income was
smaller.
May we ask whence comes
this story that the few get
everything and the many prac-
tically nothing?

The only thing that might pre-
vent the fight from developing
would be the wish of the Ad-
ministration to keep harmony in
the party before the next cam"
paign. But there are many
mamberS who do not believe
there can be harmony as long
as Taylor holds the majority

Out Of the little town Of Port
Deposit, Md, former Senator
Joseph I. France fires a SalVo

Although the Republican for

himself as a candidate, he says
he is qualified and demands

France has had way Of crop
ping out of what amounts to
oblivion just before elections.
Although he was defeated the
last time he ran for the Senate,
he steps out to make some pO-
litical announcement in each
campaign.
In the 1882 Republican pri-
mary he was an opponent Of
Herbert Hoover.
Today, judging from all re.

Good evening, fellow citizens:
When any man, regardless of
his position, states that in the
past generation or so wealth
has been more centralized in
the hands of a few and that
the poor and the middle-class
have become poorer, that state
ment is a deliberate distortion
of fact! More loose, irresponsi-
BILE statements have been made
on this subject by men in re-
Sponsible position than on any
other American issue.
Wealth has not been central
lied in the hands of a few in
the past thirty-five years, but
has become much more widely
distributed in every sense.
We hear a great deal about
the concentration Of wealth in
industry when anyone who
takes the time to study the
facts knows that there has
never been an era in the entire
history of the world when in
dustrial wealth was put into so
many different hands.
MALICIOUS STATEMENTS
You often hear from dema-
gogues, political racketeers and
prominent but misinformed in.
dividualS that two per cent Of
our population owns from so to
80 per cent of our national
wealth and that a handful Of
people get most of our national
income.
Such statements are evidently
purely malicious, intended to
inflame class hatred and are as
close to one hundred per cent
untrue as men can make mis-
leading statements.
For the past eighty-five years
wealth has been steadily getting
into more hands and the control
of national wealth has been
steadily taken from the few.
About sixty per cent Of the
people of this country receive
The Washington times., 1935-09-03

percent a G e hep' Ed' l. Taylor
believed it inadvisable to make
the move.
Now it appears that Rep.
William B. Bankhead, of Ala
bama, elected Majority Leader
at the Democratic caucus at
the first of the expired session,
will never serve in the office
to which he was named. His
health will prevent him from
accepting the arduous duties
of the office even though he
returns to the House in Janu-
ary. He was replaced by
Taylor.
Taylor has not been overly
popular and his power is
minute.
The support Of the majority
seems to have gone to Rep.
John J. O'COnnOr, Of New
York.
Although many members
1Dunted O'Connor TO seek the
place in the last session. there
Were others 1Uho belieUei it an
inadUiSdble time for him to
make the noUe. He hid been
in one or tUo roDS 1Uith the
Administration as chairman OF
the Rules Committee and 1DGS
heading the inquiry into lobbieS.
It is reliably reported that
O'Connor was one of those
who believed it inadvisable for
him to seek the leadership. At
the next session, however, it
will probably be a different
story and O'Connor will at
