JAZZY GYPSIES
GYP BAND TAXES

DEBRECEN, Hungary,
March 21.-When is a gypsy
band a jazz band is the
question which Debrecen has
answered with an explicit
decree.
Societies for the preserva-
ton of Hungarian folk
music forced adoption of or
dinances providing a higher
tax for jazz bands than for
gypsy bands But jazz re-
tanned its popularity, and
soon 1t became apparent that
bands composed entirely of
gypsies were playing jazz
Now the mayor has issued
a decree which defines n
jazz band as any musical orr
ganixation "of which more
than half the instruments are
saxophones and bsnjos."

Arrangements Made By Director
OF WPA For Local Purchases
New Plan Will Call For
Large Expenditures For
Various Articles To Be
Supplied By Merchants

Thomas D. Orr, WPA, directo,
in Key West has effected ar.
rangements for local purchases
which will bring about con.
continual flow of business to the
merchants in Key West. Up to
this time this business has been
benefiting other localities.
AS pointed out to The Citizen
by the director there are only
four u. S. treasury procurement
offices in Florida. One each in
Jacksonville, Pensacola, Tampa
and Miami. Permission has been
secured by the director from the
state procurement officer of the
treasury department to handle
all purchases which can be made
for Key West projects locally.
This will mean a business of
approximately $4,000 monthly to
be handled by local merchants
who will, it is said, be allowed, in
addition to the prevailing prices
on merchandise and material,
freight and transportation costs.
This system is rather unique,
and works about as follows
Whenever need for merchandise
arises on a Key West project a
requisition is made and three
bids from Key West forwarded
with it. When the encumbrances
are approved, the award is i'm
mediately made to the lowest Key
West bidder.
Receive acquisitions
Roy NJ. Robinson, WPA direc-
tor of operations, who has charge
of these acquisitions and their
specifications, has recently con-
ferred with the U. S. procurement
officer in Miami and has already
received IS acquisitions which Di-
rector Orr has ordered to be
placed with local merchants foi
immediate bids. Operations Di.
rector Robinson is following
through on these first acquisitions
and hopes to be able to make
awards next week. Some have
already been awarded.
Establishments will be benefit
ed which handle the following
Hardware, lumber, dry goods,
drugs, drugs sundries, paint and
oils, building materials, gasoline
and lubricating oils, kerosene, ice
water, groceries, electrical sup
plies. Machine shops will also re-
ceive contracts and awards.
WPA VIII Benefit
The WPA will in turn be bene-
fitted to the extent that hereto
fore progress on projects was de-
layed while waiting for materials
from other sections. But under the
; present arrangement the only ma
terials which will be purchased out
side of Key West are those which
cannot be supplied locally, and
these on emergency acquisitions.
Since Mr.. Orr's arrival in Jan
uary approximately 500 person.
have been placed at work anG
every possible effort is now be
ing made to keep these people
continuously actively employed
, This was done by effecting econo-
mics in administration expenses
it is said, and by readjusting pro.
ject labor.
In conclusion Mr.. Orr said the
! Works Progress Administration j:
making every effort to adjust it
kself to the needs of Key West anC
its people so that the creates
| amount of good can be done fol
the greatest number of people. The
administration, Orr said, will wei
( come suggestions from any ont
who can be of assistance in thi:
effort to do constructive good.

German Alliance Suspected

1t has been made clear that the
Russians would reject any sugges-
tion for revision OF the borders.
They have proclaimed willing
ness. however to sign a non-ag-
gressiOn pact or participate in
mixed-cOmmission Investigations
of frontier incidents.
Soviet spokesman have not
minced words in accusing the Jap
anese of preparing war. Their
principal concern, judging from
published statements, is that
Japan and Germany might make
wra on the Soviet Union stimuli
taneously.
Reports of a Japanese-German
entente have been received here
without skepticism and furnished
one of the announced reasons
why the Russians deemed it neces-
sary to build up their army to l.
100000 men.
Great secrecy is maintained as
to the disposition of these forces,
but the number posted in the Far
East is generally believed to ex-
coed 100000 and may total 400,-
600 men. There is also a strong
air force in the East, with per-
haps 1000 planes.
The naval building program
has been marked by feverish con-
struction of submarines, many of
which are said to be stationed in
the Sea of Japan.
Soviet Influence Dominant
Defense of Outer Mongolia is
of extreme Importance to the
Russians in that Japanese occupa-
ton would threaten the trans
Siberian railway. If that line
were severed, the Far Eastern
army would be cut off from head
quarters in Moscow. The railway
runs within 100 miles of the Outer
Monaghan border.
Outer Mongolia is dependent on
the Soviet Union financially,
economically and politically. It's
army is Soviet-trained and little
doubt is held that its military
supplies come exclusively from
Russia.
Formerly a ''theocratic" mon
archy, in which the head of the
Buddhist church held sovereign
power, Mongolia turned to par
liamentary government after the
death of the Living Buddha" in
1924. The government was soon
sovietized.
Most of the clashes on the ST.
berian border have been in the
the Grodekovo region, 100 miles
northwest of Vladivostok and moi
far from Lake Khanka.

Guard OF Russian Trained
Army Looks Over Region
Where Frontier Clashes
Have Taken Place
By JOHN LLOYD
INV AsSOciated l'leSsl

MOSCOW, March 21.-A
Soviet-Japanese war is held by
many to be inevitable, but there
is disagreement as to when it
may be expected to break out.
The two nations have appeared
to be on the verge of war several
times since the Japanese occupa-
ton of Manchuria in 1881, but
conflicts stopped short of large
scale hostilities.
Border clashes have continued
at more or less frequent intervals
and talk of non-aggression pacts
and frontier demilitarization has
aCnkeVeo no concrete results.
Repeated encounters on the
border of Outer Mongolia, soviet
lied buffer state, have further
complicated the situation. Mos
cow has given notice that it will
not tolerate a Japanese invasion
of Mongolia.
Japanese contentious that the
incidents on both the Siberian
and Monaghan borders are due
to underlined boundaries, fall on
deaf ears here. The Kremlin in
sists that the frontiers are clearly
marked. -. --

singer at all
At last there was great deal Of
applause, and she heard people crowd
ing passing her. Then after long
time, Maxine's voice was close to her
ear again.
HOW'D you like it, kid?" Mary
smiled a little sadly. II
couldn't hear very much Of IT,"
IT was afraid Of that-so guess
what? I talked to the great Milo
between numbers and told her about
you-that you were going to be a
singer when you grew up. She said
if I'd bring you to her dressing room
after the concert, she'd sing a song
for you"
Mary's heart almost stopped beating.
The great Milo would sing for her-a
song just for her! She was suddenly
afraid she'd wake up and find 1t all
just a very nice dream.
Maxine took hold Of her hand. 1t
was a soft, warm hand, yet 1t seemed
very strong as it guided her through
the empty auditorium.
They stopped, and Maxine said:
Great artists are sort Of queer, kid.
Rosa Milo probably won't say word
to you, and don't you say anything
unless she does. Not even thank
her"
II WON'T" Mary promised.
THEY passed through q door, and
Mary heard it close behind them.
Maxine put her on chair. A moment
later, some one began playing a piano:
then a sweet. clear voice sang. Mary
was spell bound Tears came to her
sightless eyes. Her pinched, white face
shone. The great Rosa Milo was sing
ing just for her! She could not re-
member ever being so happy before.
All too soon the song ended, and
Maxine had hold of her hand again.
Come on, kid" she whispered husk-
lily. III take you to the door where
you can wait for your dad
At the entrance, Maxine bent over
and gave Mary a quick hug.
BE a good girl. kid. and maybe
you'll get break some day." she said
and turned back into the concert hall.
Her eyes were very clear. Tomorrow
she'd sing that same song that she
had sung for the poor little blind kid.
and she'd keep that glowing. pinched
face and the sightless, brimming eyes
before her. With a setup like that
she'd win in the contest-she just
couldn't help winning!

Agriculture Says About the Situation
Excerpts from a Government release foIlow:
"In years before 1880, when grapefruit pro-
duction for the country as a whole was COM
paratively small, prices were relatively high.
big increase in production occurred in 1880 and
prices dropped sharply. The national crop that
year was close to 100000 boxes, of which
ranging around Is, ,0000 900 boxes were produced
in the next three years, crop exceeding
21,000,000 boxes came in 1884 and one of over
100000 boxes in 1885.
"The 1886 crop now moving to market is
about half way between 27,OOO,OO0 and 2S.-
100000 boxes, the biggest in the history of the
grapefruit industry It is so per cent larger than
last years crop and two and half times
large as the 1929 grapefruit crop.
