Water Gate Wednesday. A native of
California, Mr.. Beckett received his
training in New York and Europe,
being a particularly favored pupil Of
Felix Weingartner In Vienna. For 10
years ne conducted in California, and
before going to Richmond was guest
conductor with the Berlin Philhar-
monic Orchestra, as we'll as the Vienna
Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna
Philharmonic Strarem Orchestra in
Paris and the Basel Symphony Or
chestra.
Mr.. Beckett helped to organize the
Richmond Symphony Orchestra, which
is the nth largest group Of Its kind
on the Atlantic seaboard. 1t Is an
interesting fact that the orchestra
was first assembled in 1882 and has
successfully weathered the depression,
just as the National Symphony Or
chestra was organized and established
during the depression and, financially,
has ridden safely through the mire of
hard times" In Richmond 180 citi-
zens subscribed 500 apiece and the
venture proved to be so per cent self
supporting in its first season.
For his concert Wednesday Mr..
Beckett will present the following
program: overture to Donna DIAN
ma" (Von Reznicek), Rustic We'd
ding" Symphony (Goldmark); Water
Music" Handel-Harty); cinderella
Fantasie" (Beckett) and "Rhapsodie

chosen to take up the work when
Lewis Douglas resigned. The other,
following closely along this path, is
Edward F. Bartlett, now holding the
position of commissioner of accounts

August with such marked success.
DR.. Strube has made many friends
in the Capital. coming here to con-
duct ON various occasions. and during
more recent years to be guest conduc-
tor with the National Symphony Or
cheStra. He conducted one OF the
most popular concerts presented this
Summer by the Washington Summer
Concerts Association, when. after
three encores, the audience still
clamored for more. DR.. Strube not
only Is a conductor of ability, but q
composer of attainment. and at the
concert August played "Serenade" Of
his own, which was one Of the beau
tifui numbers on the program.
The first portion Of the concert to-
morrow evening will be all-Wagner and

Committee of the N. r. A.
These men realized, with others, Mr
Douglas among them, that the scat
tered efforts in accounting, the lack
of centralized control, is something
that no longer private business con-
Germs would tolerate. The Govern
ment's auditing had been centralized
after years of discussion. Under the
same act budget system was pro-
vided But, strange as it may seem,
one of the most important activities
in the Governments finance pro-
cedure, namely, the actual bookkeeping
work, the day-to-day and week-to-
week check on income and expenditure,

gency relief fund.- still scattered

are concerned, just where the Govern
ment stands as Of a given date is
largely conjecture. The most that is
to be expected in the way of an oper-
ating statement is the report rendered
by the President to the opening Con-
gress for a fiscal year ending with
the preceding June.
WHEN the budget system was Gre
ated, in 1922, it placed under the
control Of the Chief Executive the
preparation of estimates of Govern
ment expenditures. The next step in
rounding out the system came during
the regime Of Lewis Douglas, when
the Bureau of the Budget was given
authority to apportion the funds of the
various spending agencies.
Some experts who have made study
of Government financing go so far as
to say that such an establishment of
centralized control over accounting is
essential to an effective budget system.
Although the system is essentially an
instrument of financial control, all dc
not agree that it should be a part
of the Treasury. The latter, they point
out, like other Government depart
ments, is a spending agency. and is
likewise subject to the influence OF
an interested party-the Secretary
The effectiveness OF the control" may
lie in its utter divorcement from any
spending unit, they say.
1t is argued that. just as the Con-
gress raised about the controller gen.
eral and his Office an impregnable
wall, so this complementary unit of
the Governments fiscal system should
be independent, responsible to the
President only. This, and the question
as to the amount of detail carried on
by the central Office in Washington.
are the two points on which critics
seem to make reservations before
agreeing to give their blanket approval
to the system as it now operates.
But one day in the not too far fu-
ture it must prove its worth or fail.
If it works as we'll when it comes to
unscrambling the emergency financing
as it appears to function now in check
ing the daily operations it will gain
many supporters in Congress and out.
In that case, it will undoubtedly be
offered as an aid to the Bureau of
the Budget and the Office Of the con-
troller general-in other words, as
the third leg of the tripod, absence
of which has kept Federal bookkeeping
balancing precariously on two-legged
stool these many years.

EARTHER up the coast exception
ally notable exhibitions have been
held this season at Ogunquit, Goose
Rocks Beach and Prouts Neck. The
last consisted of loan exhibition of
paintings and drawings by Winslow
Homer and was held in his old studio
in commemoration of the hundredth
anniversary Of his birth. This exhi-
bition was visited by many of the
artists painting this Summer in New
England; it also attracted visitors
from more distant places, for 1t was at
Prouts Neck that the majority of
Homer's greatest canvases were
painted, and it meant much to see
the works in this environment. More
over, certain works, privately owned
and not at other times available, were
shown.
