Plan for New Distribution
of Power Outlined at
Luncheon Here.

Long-range social planning de-
signed to distribute power and
wealth more equally among the peo-
pie was advocated today by three
officials of the Peoples Lobby at
luncheon in the Y. w. c. A.
THE same giant combine that
owns our banks, also owns indus
tries, public utilities and shipping
lines, it owns America" DR.. Colston
E. Warne, Amherst College eco
Monies professor, said.
President of the Peoples Lobby,
DR.. Warne, stated that "the taxable
income of those receiving 100000 a
year or more would be nearly
tripled if all corporate earnings were
paid out"
Favors Matchmaking Banks
AS solution to the nations So
cial and economic problems, DR..
Warne advocated socialism of bank
ing and basic industries.
THE Peoples Lobby urges repeal
of consumption taxes. stiffening Of
income and estate tax rates. levy
of S1,000,000,000 on liquid corpora
ton SURPRISES, retention of present
taxes on corporation profits and the
Moritz bill levying l per cent ex-
else tax on the privilege of holding
land, with an exemption of $4,000, as
we'll as taxing of income from gov
eminent bonds" DR.. Warne, con-
tinued.
ITO socialize banking and leave
the other parts of the empires I'M
touched would be to leave the prob
lem half solved. The specialization
of basic industry must be complete,
if social planning is to work in
America.
ITO buy out the present owners
of industry at the present valuations
that they place on their holdings
would be folly. Five years OF dras-
tic taxation of income, of corporate
surplus, of land values, of undi-
vided profits and estates would lower
their estimation of their holdings"
Gardner Jackson Speaks
The effort of SharecropperS, ten
ant farmers and farm workers to
organize has resulted in a campaign
of brutal and illegal suppression in
many parts of the South, Gardner
Jackson, former assistant consum-
ers' counsel for the AAA, charged.
Mr.. Jackson is vice president OF
the Peoples Lobby and chairman
of the National Committee on Rural
Social Planning.
THE dispossessed in agriculture
will remain dispossessed and in de-
SPAR. unless the national govern
ment shifts its concern from re-
turns to property to returns to pro-
ducers," he said.
Benjamin G. Marsh, executive sec
rotary of the Peoples Lobby, said
that government marketing and
housing corporations legislation
sought by the lobby can be obtained
by such methods as letters to Con-
gressmen and letters to local news
papers.

has settled the problem of how to
listen to both Jack Benny and
Eddie Cantor, now that both
broadcast at the same hour. She
discovered that Jack Benny's west
coast program at 1890 can be
picked up by short wave from
Honolulu, so now she and her
husband listen to Eddie at 6, and
enjoy the Benny program later.
This method settled many argu-
mepts between Block and Sully,
who never could decide which
comedian to hear. 1t was Eddie
who gave them their start in
radio, and Jack and Mary are
their best friends, so they nat
urally want to hear both pro-
grams.
If you, too, have "duo-come-
dian" trouble in your home, per-
haps you can get the late Benny
broadcast, or the late Cantor
program at 10 over a Western
CHS station.

the forgotten Battle" symphony.
1t was Immediately successful,
and was repeated four days after
its first performance. Both con-
certs were benefit affairs for the
composer and were organized by
Maelzel, inventor of the metro
nome.
The Schubert sympt my was
written in 1928, the last year of
the composers life. Schubert
never heard the work, for it's
first performance came a month
after his death. The New York
Philharmonic Society played it
in January, 1851, when the or
chestra numbered 50 musicians
and was conducted by Eisfeld.
Helen Jepson, soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera Co., has
been chosen as soloist with the
Ford program at tomorrow
night. via CHS (WFBM). This
American singer. whose operatic
debut was with the Philadelphia
Civic Opera in 1928, will be
heard in two arias by Puccini.
"Un Bel Di." from Madame But
terfly," and "Musetta's Waltz"
from la Boheme." Her second
group is to include Richard
Hageman's The Night Has a
Thousand Eyes" and Loves
Own Sweet Song" from Kali
mans operetta, "Sari."
Victor Kolar, the orchestras
conductor, has selected 1.-THE
Heavens Are Telling" from
Haydn's "The Creation" as the
opening selection for chorus and
orchestra. This will be followed
by the overture to Mozart's THE
Magic Flute; The Bamboula,"
by Coleridge-T Taylor, and the
"Farandole," from Bizet's
suite, "L'Arlessiene."
Emanuel List, Metropolitan
bassO and soloist with the Gen.
eral Motors Symphony Orches-
ira tomorrow night, made a solo
tour Of England, Africa, Aus
tralia and New Zealand before
he ever took a voice lesson. He
found his first teacher In New
York In 1914. where he was fea-
tured by the late s. L. Roxy
Rothafel and Hugo Reisenfeld at
the Rivoli, Rialto and Capitol
Theaters. Returning to his ma
tive Vienna in 1922, an angage-
ment at the volksoper began an

band itself is American and was
trained by the director after he
arrived here to begin his CHS
show.

Although Eddie Cantor may not
care about the publicity value of
his peace plan contest, he GER
tainly isn't unaware of the fact
that tomorrow night radios will
be turned to him in most of dr.
900 homes where boys and girls
responded to his essay contest.
The name Of the lucky young
ster who is to receive $4,000 for
four years university work is to
be announced by Eddie at to-
morrow night, CHS (WFBM).
OF course, Eddie might argue
that he would have this audience
anyway, and the contest makes
no difference.

RoSSini wrote this work in
1882, three years after he had
turned his back upon his bril-

composer. 1t was dedicated to
the Spanish Able Varela, with
the understanding that it was
not to be made public. Nine
years after the abbe's death,
RosSini was startled to learn of
the forthcoming publication of

had sold the publication rights
and it was only after extensive
litigation that the composer re-
gained control of the copy
