With current business statistics

financial circles believed today con-
siderable part still is resting in vete-
rams pockets.
The Federal Reserve Board esti-
mates that about half the 81, l,204 4,000,-

demptions still Is in circulation. This
means that about $500, 100000 has
not flowed back into banks, and thus.
either is being held by the veterans
or is being kept in circulation by
general demands for currency.
With vacation trade in the fore
front, many business barometers
abandoned seasonal trends to register
gains after the bonus payments
started in June. These upturns, which
were themselves widely attributed in
part to bonus outlays, helped to keep
money circulating. Retention Of cash
by the veterans, however, also is
considered q factor.

the bonus money has been salted

Iturbi Hero
Of Trinidad
Plane Crash
Famous Pianist Goes
to Engagement as
Incident Ends.

Jose ITURBI, the celebrated Span
ish pianist and conductor. who was
recently announced for a piano re-
cital at Constitution Hall next season
as one Of the attractions Of Mrs.
Dorsey's Sunday afternoon concert
series of 1936-37, not only proved him
self a hero In saving the life of his
secretary in the airplane accident
at Port of Spain. Trinidad, that almost
cost this artist his life. but he doggedly
adhered to his concert schedule under
conditions which would have made
music impossible for most artists.
This information is contained in
a letter from Jean Dalrymple. Iturbi's
secretary, to friend in New York,
which offers the first detailed account
of the accident.
After describing the circumstances
leading up to the crash and the con-
fusion and excitement prevailing
aboard afterward, Miss Dalrymple
writes that it was only by miracle
that the rescue launch sent to the
scene arrived in time to dislodge
passenger who had blocked hatch
in trying to escape and had imprisoned
other passengers. As soon as the
hatch was cleared, Iturbi gave his
secretary a shove that sent her flying
into the water and gave the launch
crew an opportunity to pick her up.
an act on the part of the pianist which,
she says, saved her life.
BY the time she was hauled on
board the launch, the plane had dis
appeared, and with it Iturbi, ap-
parently, but he was shortly discovered
in the water-it was early in the
morning and Oakland was likewise
hauled into the launch. He had sus-
tanned wrist injury and some one
had stepped on his hand, but as
soon as he and his secretary could
change to dry clothes, they embarked
on another plane for Buenos Aires,
where Iturbi was scheduled to first
rehearse and then conduct the Colon
Orchestra.
The trip down the coast, Miss
Dalrymple writes. was very stormy
and fierce headwinds were encountered
all the way to Rio, which forced
numerous stops at emergency land
ing points and made it almost i'm
possible for any of the passengers
to obtain rest en- route. Yet within an
hour after his arrival at Buenos Aires,
Iturbi was on the podium, putting
the Colon Orchestra through a re-
hearsal with a borrowed score, all
his music having been lost in the
crash at Port of Spain.
