ence today to meet again in Wash
ington, D. c., Monday or Tuesday
Breaking up to spend New Year
Day at their homes, the operators
delegated a special committee of
five to work out a program at
the washington meeting.
The committee members are
Charles P. O'Neill, president OF
the United Eastern Coal Sales
Corporation, who presided at the
conference: j. D. A. Morrow
president of the Pittsburgh Coal
Company; E. c. Mahon, president
Of the Southern Coal & Coke
Company; j. D. Francis, president
Of the Island Greek Coal Com
pany, and Edward Davis, presi
dent of the New York Coal Com
pany.
Morrow and O'Neill each pre-
Sented proposals but the full com
mittee of 20 operators was unable
to reach an agreement. One OF
the stumbling blocks was over
production costs upon which
prices are based. Southern oper
ators opposed the production
costs presented by the Northern
operators, it was said, since their
costs are much lower.

>the auspices of Beren-Brook Artists.
No music so completely adapts
itself to the art of dancing as the
melodious strains and romantic
tunes of the Latin American coun-
tries, and from these, Luis and
JoSefina Ojeda have created re-
pertoire of strikingly artistic and
attractive dances.
This internationally known
couple has filled engagements in
Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and the
United States. When Columbia
University decided to present a
program on Mexico, they were Sc
lected as being best able to pre-
sent true Mexican dancing.
BY the same token, when the
Mexican Ambassador decided to
entertain Secretary and Mrs. Cor
dell Hull, together with many
prominent diplomats at a recep-
ton in Washington last March, he
likewise selected the Ojedas to pre-
sent several Mexican dance num-
berS.

JANE WITHERS
GUARDED

BOSTON, Dec. 81 GN.S)-1t
may be just a lark to Jane With
ers, film lands favorite "little bad
girl" but every precaution was
taken today against any possibility
she might be kidnapped.
The reason the small screen star
enjoyed the situation so much was
because it gave her new and con-
slant play mate" rangy Jack
Trent, six-foot two Texan, her
bodyguard.
Her mother, Mrs. Ruth Withers,
explained that Jane had been
threatened with kidnapping and
death while she was in Hollywood,
unless her parents paid $4,000
ransom.
While Jane romped in her hotel
suite, making preparations for a
stage appearance at local theater.
Mrs. Withers disclosed the two
ransom demands.

The jingle of tuned sleigh bells,
Christmas carols and toy fantasies
all combined to make a most en-
joyable holiday program given by
the U. s. Marine Band Symphony
Orchestra last night at the Ma
rine Barracks auditorium under
the direction of , Capt. Taylor
BranSon.
The capacity audience was lib
orally sprinkled with children
and young folks drawn by this
type of program. The program
opened with 20 Little Town of
Bethlehem" played by from
bone quartet-aS sweet a bit OF
quartet playing as this writer has
heard in many moons. Unfortu-
nately those who attend most
symphonic concerts hear the
brasses only when they are called
upon to raise the roof. Anyone
hearing last nights performance
will agree that a quartet Of
brasses may sound as appealing
DIS a SGTnS quartet.
Second Leader William Santel-
mann, violin; John Auer. cello,
Joshua Tyler, harp, provided an
admirable presentation of Pietro
Yon's "Gesu Bambino," which
was repeated at the inSistence of
the audience. The concert closed
with the mighty "Hallelujah
Chorus" from Handel's Messiah. p"
Lily Pons swings the blues
or, rather, the Blue Danube"-in
her latest movie THAT Girl From
Paris" which opens this evening
at $50 o'clock at RKO Keith'S.
With the Strauss waltz arranged
by Lily Pons' fiance, Andre Kostel-
anetz, it does not sound like other
jazz arrangements of classical
songs. At first the song and &C.
compartment are given straight,
but both get sWingier and SWingier
as the music progresses.
The diva also sings an aria from
Barber of Seville" but Miss Pons
likes one of the popular numbers
written especially for her, Seal
1t With a Kiss" which she expects
to include in both radio and con-
cert appearances in the near fu-
ture.

7 SCIENTISTS
AS TRAITORS

MOSCOW, Dec. 81 0N.S0
The Soviet Academy Of Sciences
found itself embroiled in a family
squabble today after it had ex'
PEELED a member for taking a job
with a capitalist" oil firm in Chi
cago and had heard the scientists
father hotly denounced by his own
son.
The scientist, v. N. Ipatiev, and
another chemist, A. E. Chichi-
babin, each of whom had received
honors and subsidies from the So
Wet government, were thrown out
of the academy for taking posi-
tions in the United States when
they left Russia on official mis-,
SionS.
Prof. v. v. Ipatiev, young Ler,
ingrad chemist, denounced his
father for refusing to return to
the U. S. S. r. He said:
Formerly was proud that I
bore my fathers name. AT pres
ent 1 have to keep my head low
to avoid giving my name, when
ever possible"
At one time the elder IpatieV
had been honored by being ap'
pointed head of the State of High
PresSures. Officials of the Acad
emy read letters showing every
effort had been made to persuade
the elder Ipatiev and Chichibabin
to return to this country.
Chichibabin is now working In
Paris. He left the Soviet Union
after the death of his daughter in
1880, and, apparently, has no rela
tiveS in this country.
He and Ipatiev were accused by
the newspaper Pravda of licking
the boots of capitalists.

Mrs. Hewitt, who is accused by her

charge of attempted suicide. At that
time police planned to inform her
that a detainer has been filed against
her by New York police as being a

MOSCOW, March 2.-Application
by the foreign trade and finance COM
missariats of the new exchange rate
of approximately five rubles to the
dollar in all settlements of export and
import organizations was ordered yes

The state bank simultaneously was

The decree permits the state bank

No explanation of the measure was
given and attaches of the United

The weather for the past month

able to get rid of it, but it has
raised the mortality rate among the

thousands and every scrap of food

In these laces the wheat is being
scattered every day, although the
amount seems inadequate for the
