PLAN NTOREPLY
T0PRESIDENT
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

The Republicans apparently
have abandoned their plan Of
having a single speaker reply"
to the dramatic message which
President Roosevelt delivered be-
fore the extraordinary opening
session of Congress.
A week ago, the Republican
high command was denouncing
the message as "a political ha-
rangue" instead of the traditional
report to Congress on the state
Of the union, and vowed to reply
to it either with a single speech
or a series of speeches.
National Chairman Henry P,
Fletcher even demanded of the
broadcasting companies the same
facilities for the Republican party
that were afforded President
Roosevelt on Friday night. That
would mean the greatest possible
hook-up Of domestic stations, and
Short-wave transmission to for.
eign countries.
Plan Apparently Dropped
Now the plan apparently has
been dropped. No Republican
speaker has been designated to
make the reply. Instead, as usual,
Republicans will go on the air
from time to time, and from the
floors Of Congress criticize Ad-
ministration acts and policies.
The difficulty appears to have
been in getting a speaker to do
the job. Friends of ex-President
Herbert Hoover are said to have
suggested his availability. But
that suggestion didn't have much
appeal to the party leaders.
Candidate Ruled Out
Republican presidential posi-.
bilities like Senator Borah, Gov.
ALI M. Landon of Kansas, and
Col. Frank Knox were automati.
cally ruled out because Of their
candidates.. That left a knotty
problem in obtaining a speaker
of outstanding national promi-
nence to speak for the party.

tee headquarters today it was said
no one had been designated, and
none probably would be. At head.

gresSional campaign committee.
it was said the committee would
pursue its usual policy Of putting
on senator's and representatives
from time to time to speak on GER
tain issues.
Privately, Republican leaders
agreed no single Republican could
be chosen who could speak for the
entire party.

tet of these instruments that were
perfectly matched. While the vi
olin used by Mr.. Pocnon, the vi
ola, and the violoncello seemed to
be nicely matched in tonal quail
ity, the instrument used by the
first violinist seemed more bril-.
liant and louder than the others.
The quartet gave the first pub
lie performance of Pochon's BAL

Mrs. Whittall. This work was
characterized by careful attention
to form and beautiful melodic
lines running through it. The

hanced the program greatly.

and clarinets are now outselling
| saxophones.
DR.. Stokowski looks forward to
the development of better tonal
quality in both recorded and
radio music. He also sees the
possibilities of wired RADIO" in
transmitting music without the
danger Of static or fading spoil
ing a performance.
He claims that vast muSic-lov-
ing and music understanding
public has appeared within the
last five years because Of the
growth and broadening influence
of radio. However, DR.. Kinder
does not "deplore mechanized
music" as claimed recently in a
New York daily. DR.. Kinder
agrees with DR.. Stokowski on the
premise that radio has increased
the number of music lovers.
DR.. Kinder said in his address
December 81 before the conven-
ton of the National Music Teach
ers Association: "Mechanization,
wonderful in one way, carries with
it the germs of spiritual paralysis,
and if unchecked ana not Coun-
teracted, Of spiritual and, as far as
music is concerned, OF material
death. It is up to you, while rec
ognizing radios great good, to
counteract this back-sitting, dial
turning, let-the-other-fellow- -do-it,
paralyzing attitude"
1t is easy to see how someone
might have taken the wrong in
depreciation from DR.. Kindler'S
remarks as he did seem to pass
over the beneficent phase Of radio
rather lightly. Let us hope that
he has planted seed that will
grow in Importance in the minds
of music teachers. If the average
music teacher spent more time try
ing to interest new beginners in
stead of attempting to annex pu-
pills of other teachers, there would
be SiZeable increase i'll the num-
ber of amateur musicians.
The "Pomp and Circumstance
March No. l." (Elgar), the theme
of which is shown above, was
written for and performed at the
coronation of King Edward VII
of England in 1901. This march
will be included in the young
peoples concert to be given by
the U. S. Navy Band Symphony
Orchestra next Wednesday after
noon at 4 o'clock.
The StradivariuS String Quar-
tet Of New York with Louis KraS-

chamber music yesterday after
noon at the auditorium Of the

The quartet composed Of Wolfe
Wolfinsohn and Alfred Pochon,

Ivan d'Archambeau, violoncello,

It is hard to termi in e
whether ones ears were con-
ditioned ahead of time to expect
tones not heard elsewhere be-
cause Of the famous name they
bore or whether the tonal quail
ity would have been noted with
out the knowledge Of the make
of the instruments.
In the hands of these veteran
artists there certainly was a sweet
