New York, April A revival of the old-fashioned singing school as a means of stimulating interest in music in rural communities is urged upon the 4,800 member units of the National Federation of Music clubs in threefold program issued by its department of education, of which Mrs. w. Carruth Jones of Chicago is chairman.
 This program, formulated with the assistance of Miss Ada Bicking, director of the Arthur Jordan Con- sevatory of Music in Indianapolis and chairman of the department of music in schools and colleges, and Mrs. D. c. Chaffee of Shelbyville Illinois, chairman of rural school music, is comprehensive, including not only systematic campaign to see that music is given more at- tention in all educational institu- tions, both secondary and col legiate, but also the inauguration of wide range of musical activities in the more isolated sections where the prospect of concert or opera at- tendance is remote.
 Among the major projects which the music clubs are asked to pro- mote in these sections, in addition to the singing school, are rural mu- sic clinics in which musicians of good educational background test the qualifications of local musicians; the sponsorship of music memory, hymn singing and playing contests and rural music festivals; the pur- chase of photograph records for the teaching of music where other facili- ties are not available, and assistance in financing itinerant school music supervisors so that each rural school may have some professional instruc- ton.
 Among the many objectives for which the clubs are asked to work are for the appointment of state supervisors of music; the formation of orcheStras or choruSes among sec ondary school graduates who are performing musicians but are not going on to college, so that their musical talent may not become sub merged; and the creation of sing Ing repertoire" in each community by sponsoring movements to select a "Song of the Week" .or Song of the Month" and then popularizing it throughout the community.
 That all clubs may become con- scious of the importance of the study of music in college, Miss Bick- ing is urging that papers dealing with this subject be presented on their regular programs. She also asks that they work for the inclu- sion of music requirement. in the curricula of schools of education which are training students to be- come school principals. superinten- dents and teachers. Attention is di. rected to the course of stury ar- ranged by the federation: also tC music clubs magazine, published al 320 Wait avenue. Ithaca. New York which carries study courses on mu' sic for college and high school stu dents. Among the most dintinguish' cd of these are an outline, "Eighi Milestones in the History of Music, prepared by Mime. Olga 5amaroff. Stokowsli. and Lessons in Opera, prepared by J. Murray Barbour.

 The second play is also impor- tant. You must lead the king of diamonds from dummy and discard the king of clubs and on the jack of diamonds you must discard the ace of clubs. Now. dummy's three clubs are good, and on these you discard your three hearts.
 A spade is led from dummy and the flnesse taken. The ace of spades is played, capturing East's king, and you now can spread the hand for the rest of the tricks, making Q grand slam.
 This hand brings out the impor- tance of being careful about study ing out a hand before playing to the first trick.

Neutrality Bill Scared
by 7. Bassett Moore

ENCOURAGEMENT was given oppo-
IL nents Of the administration neu-
trality bill by the severe castigation of
the measure by John Bassett Moore,
former member of the World court.
His statement was presented at Sc
cret meeting of the senate foreign re-
lations committee but was made public
by Senator Johnson of California, who
doesn't like the bill.
Calling it "a curious blend Of homi-
cidal with suicidal MANIA" Mr.. Moore
caustically denounced the bill, which
would continue the present mandatory
embargo on arms and munitions ship
ments to belligerents, but give the
President discretion in limiting certain
other exports to peace-time levels.
"The homicidal mania," Moore said,
''glares in the proposal to try to starve
other peoples who engage in war; the
suicidal mania CLEANS in the proposal
to demoralize and destroy our COM
merce in order that peoples at war may
not be nourished by what we produce"
Especially vehement was his attack
on the section giving the President dis
erection to curb the shipment of such
war materials as steel, oil and cotton.

United Mine Workers
Defv William Green

United Mine Works Of America, In
~ convention in Washington, shout
ed boisterous defiance at William
Green's plea that they drop their cam
paign for industrial organization.
The A. F. of L. president opened his
speech before the LOO delegates from
the coal pits with plea for co-opera-
ton to prevent split in the ranks of
American labor. The A. F. of L., which
favors the craft Cor skilled worker)
unions, had ordered the miners, led by
John L. Lewis, to abandon their COM
mittee working for industrial unions.
But as he warmed up to his subject,
Mr.. Green clashed more directly with
the views of the miners and the scat
tered applause which had greeted his
remarks changed to boos and shouts Of
opposition.
When Lewis arose to reply to Green
he was given the support Of almost
every delegate in the hall.

InHationists Ready for
Battle in Congress

TNFLATIONISTS in congress, led by
4 Senator Thomas of Oklahoma and
Representative Patman Of Texas. were
all prepared to wage great battle to
force the printing Of new money. They
were just waiting for the introduction
of a new tax program, declaring they
would try to block such legislation If
it were attempted. 1t was believed
that, If the tax issue were not raised
soon, the fight would start over the
Frazier-Lemke farm mortgaging re-
financing bill.
The forces behind this bill, which
calls for the refinancing of farm in
debtedness on easy terms through the
issuance of up to $3.OO0,000,OOO in new
money, had succeeded in getting 215
signatures on petition to force vote
in the house. Only 21S were needed
and its hackers were pressing for the
three names.
Administration leaders were con-
fident they could defeat the inflationists
by q wide margin.

League Experts Study
Oil Embargo Problem

WHETHER an oil embargo against
w Italy could be made effective was
the knotty problem confronting a
League of Nations committee of ex-
perts that met in Geneva. About q
dozen countries were represented, but
Poland refused to take part on the
ground that it exports no oil to Italy,
but only to Czechoslovakia.
League authorities said the investi-
cation into practical possibilities of en-
forcing an oil embargo against Italy, in
addition to the present war penalties,
was likely to center to large degree
on the attitude of the United States.
These sources conceded uncertainty
as to whether such an extension Of
sanctions could be effective if the Unit
ed States administration applied no oil
embargo at all, or limited Oil exports
to Italy to a definite known amount.

The reserve board, which has been
called "a supreme court of banking"
has powers unparalleled in American
financial history. Among these is au-
thority to double present margins that
member banks are required to main
tain against deposits; the dominant
voice on the open-market committee
which charts the systems participation
in the government bond market, and
over which it had no authority under
the former law; power of veto over the
heads of the various reserve banks
which insures the selection of a presi-
dent who will cooperate with the
board, and the power to fix margins

Lindbergh Case Reopened
bv Governor Hoffman

ON ORDERS from Gov. Harold G.
~ Hoffman of New Jersey, further
investigation of the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing and murder case has been started.
Col. HI. Norman Schwarzkopf, head Of
the state police, assigned two of his
star detectives for the inquiry, and
has enlisted the aid of federal investi-
eating agencies and the New York po-
lice.
The governor wants the investigation
to be painstaking and thorough. The
reprieve which he granted Hauptmann
will expire on February 10. After that
date at least four weeks, and perhaps
five, will elapse before the date for the
execution which will be ordered by
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, who
presided over the trial.
The governor believes that by that
time his power of reprieve will have
expired in this case, and he will not
grant another unless Attorney General
David T. Wilentz concurs. Unless new
developments warrant it, the attorney
general will not agree to further de-
lay in the execution.
