FOES OF SHIP
SUBSIDY CITE
AAARUL|NG
BY ROBERT A. McGHL
International News Service

A small but determined group
stands ready in the Senate and
House to block any bill embodying
President Roosevelt's ship subsidy
program-a program for a mer-
chant marine second to none"
This was revealed today as inter
department controversies over a
new ship subsidy bill threatened
to subject the whole program to
a stalemate. The bill was intro
duced by Senator Copeland CD
of New York, chairman Of the
Senate Commerce Committee.
The group Is composed for the
most part of Western Senators
and Representatives. among them
Senator Bone CD Of Washington,
who led an attack on a ship sub
sidy bill and helped shelve it dur
ing the last session Of Congress.
AAA Ruling Cited
The principal objection to the
Presidents proposal for an out
right subsidy plan, Senator Bone
said, is that it would appropriate
large sums of taxpayers money
for the sole benefit of a few
shipbuilders and operators"
Senator Bone said the group
would contend legislation of this
type is unconstitutional and that
they would base their contention
on the Supreme Courts AAA
ruling. They expect to cite as
an example this language used
by the court in the adverse
ruling:
"a tax, in the general under.
standing Of the term, and as
used in the constitution, Signi-
flies an exaction for the sup
port Of the Government. The
word has never been thought to
cOnnote the appropriation Of
money from one group for the
benefit Of another"
Senator Bone declined to pre-
dict whether he can marshal
enough strength in the Senate
to seriously endanger passage Of
the subsidy plan, but added
that a large number Of Senators
would flock to his side If the
issue is brought out in the open
on the floor of the Senate.
Copeland Awaits Word
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt
has before him the new bill pre-
pared by Senator Copeland. It Is
based on the Presidents special
message to Congress on March A,
1885, in which he suggested out
right Government subsidies to re-
vive the merchant marine. Sen.
ator Copeland dispatched a copy
and letter to the President ask
ing for comment on the new meas
use, but so far has net received
an answer.
The new bill, however, is said to
be unsatisfactory to the Post Of
flee and Commerce departments.

ing up a measure for submission
to the President; likewise Post Of
flee officials.
In answer to this Senator Cope

no attempt to revise his new bill,
even should it be suggested.

If you are wondering whether
or not the new Club Amsterdam

good food, just note who is the
manager of this spot. He is G..

His experience should certainly

that he can satisfy even the most
critical. And behind the bar

Mr.. Huston has made for himself
a name known to radio and screen
fans as well as those who follow
the legitimate drama on Broad
way. His role in "Dodsworth" has
been acclaimed throughout the
country by critics in the cities
where he has presented the play on
the current tour. The company is
now appearing on the West coast.
"Dodsworth," a dramatiZation of
Sinclair Lewis widely read novel
about Americans abroad, opened for
the first time on Broadway at the
Shubert Theater Feb. "a, 1884, and
ran for lat performances. Then it
was revived in August, the same
year, and ran for ITO performances
before the present road tour was
begun in January, last year.
Mr.. Huston was seen last here on
the screen in a brief sequence in
Transatlantic Tunnel" Richard
DiXs latest film. In this picture
Mr. Huston appeared without
charging the producers any sal
airy. He portrayed the President
of the United States while George
Arliss represented the Prime Min
lister Of Great Britain.
"Dodsworth" was dramatized by

An important step in the movie

by Kenneth Collins, Apollo Theater

of long research by Western Elec-

possible to record and reproduce.
The ordinary sound equipment will
give range from rs up to 5000 cy-
Giles. The new equipment is said to
provide a range for sounds from 40
up to 10000 cycles.
Almost every movie fan knows by
now that the singing and talking in
soundpictures is mostly dubbed in
after the picture is taken. Especial
ly is this true of the recent opera
pictures. The films are taken Of a

Then later, under more efficient &C
couStical conditions, the singer sings
the song for the recording. Then it
is up to the sound engineers to fit
the sound track onto the film, for
perfect synchronization.
That system is not the ideal one.
Movie men realize that, and they
want to eventually reach the place
where they can record the scene as
it is filmed. That was done in Pro

Offers Course
in Choir Work
CheSton L. Heath to Stress
Training of Boys.

Course in training and tone pro-
duction of boys voices, designed for
choral conductors, teachers and mu-
sicians in general, has been an
nounced by Cheston L. Heath, Or
ganist and master of choristers at
Christ Episcopal Church. The first

Practical in character, the series
is to embrace such subjects as the
psychology of the boy mind; meth
DDS of imparting musical knowledge
to the child; problems of conduct
and organization. Illustrative work
is to be done with boys who have
had no previous training.
Mr.. Heath is well known as a
trainer of boys voices, having served
as choirmaster at Christ Church for
the last 10 years, and in the same
capacity at st. Paul's Episcopal
Church in Norwalk, O., for IL years.
