occasional full power Of which
was quite enhancing.
The chorus of about 100 voices
was not unwieldy and responded
well to the movement of the baton.
An especially beautiful effect was
heard in the pianissimo choral ac-
compartment to the baritone solo,
Lord, Make Me Know" sung by
Edwin Steffe. Taken as whole,
this concert might well be termed
the high point of vocal effort so
far in Washington this season.
Mercado'S Tipica Mexican Or
chestra gave an interesting and
colorful concert last night to a
capacity audience in the ballroom
of the Willard Hotel. Interesting,
because of the unique instrumental
tion and Mexican works used; COL
orful because of the dances, bril-
liant costumes, and the general
stage dressing.
Using an orchestral combination
of two violinS, cello, bass viol, per-
cussion, xylophone, two salters, two
large guitars, flute, clarinet, trum-
pet and piano, Mercado showed
great ingenuity in obtaining a great
diversity of tone coloration.
The several dances of Luis and
JoSefina Ojeda, in the Mexican
style, provoked much enthusiasm,
especially in the Eel Caminante
del Mayab." The costumes worn
for this dance were gorgeous and
were crowned by exceedingly large
feathered headdreSSes.
Lolita Valdez, soprano, possesses
a sweet voice of unspoiled fresh
ness backed by captivating stage
presence. GuStave Carrasco, tenor,
has an even tone throughout his
range, but his voice was all too
often covered by the accompany
ing orchestra.
Viscount Hidemaro Konoye, the
gifted japanese nobleman, will be
presented as guest conductor with
the Philadelphia Symphony Or
chestra next Tuesday night at
8:45 o'clock in Constitution Hall.
Eugene Ormondy, the regular con-
ductor, will yield the baton to Wis
count Konoye for the first half Of
the program for the overture,
"Leonore No. l." and Symphony
No. g." (Beethoven).

TROUBLE
IN CAPTIVE
MINES
International News Service

AhtBEuAEAUAhtAA ENV"B 6CANlEo
Statements Of Carnegie Illinois
Steel Company attorneys attending
the National Labor Relations
Board complaint hearings here, to-
day indicated trouble might be
ahead in the captive coal mine in
dustry.
They said the steel companies,
owner Of the captive mines, were
opposed to the recent union request
for an increase in the "checkoff"
deducted monthly from the miners
pay by the companies for union
dues. While they refused to say
flatly that the companies would
defy the union request for the
added deduction, they indicated
this decision might be made in
the near future.
Officials of the United Mine
Workers, on the other hand, took
the stand that the preSnt work
ers' contract with the mines called
for a "checkoff" of whatever
amount the unon asked and the
men approved. They added that
the union would never accept
contract violation without a fight"
There are some $4,000 miners
working in the captive mines,
and in the past, the union has
shown no histancy in calling the
men out when employers refused
to meet workers demands. From
sources close to John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine
Workers, it was learned no de-
cision has been made on this
matter although Lewis is not
disposed to accept a continued
employers refusal to deduct the
increased fee for dues and to
reimburse the union treasury for
heavy recent expenditures.
The general impression here,
among both steel company Of
ficials and mine union heads,
was that the friction would be
Smoothed out without a clash so
severe as a strike.

work of the concert will be the
"Daphnis and Chloe" Suite No. 2,

It will be remembered that last
season DR.. Stokowski presented a
surprise encore at the final concert

own composition, "Etenraku." DR..
StokowSki has most enthusiastic
praise for Viscount Konoye's abil-
ity as composer and conductor.
In his native land, Viscount Ko-
noye is the moving spirit Of most
musical accomplishment. Stokow-
ski has said of him, "Konoye has
deep feeling and understanding Of
our Western music and a mastery

Several seasons ago, Gregor
Piatigorsky made his Washing
ton debut in one Of Mrs. Law
renee Townsend's morning musi-
Gals. He was born in the Uk-
raine in 1903, and has suffered
many varieties of hardship and

his country and in Germany.

will pick from its own body a

sarily be a resident of Greenbelt.
FEDERAL AIDE, TOO
The council and the town man
ager will work in cooperation with
a community manager, who will
be appointed by the Farm Security
Administration.
Officials at the model COM
munity have made every provision
to prevent the entrance of politics

ber Of the council or the mayor

HAMBURG. Germany, Nov. %
G.NSO .-Nazi court officials took
measures today to speed up the
trial of Arnold Bernstein, trans
atlantic shipping magnate, ac-
cused of violating German for
eign exchange laws.
After days of struggling through
a maze of technical legal points
that confused even experts, Inter

the trial will be suspended for Q
full week following today's ses-
sion.
SPEED SOUGHT
Thereafter, however, the wheels
of Nazi justice will be set hum
ming at a swift pace to obtain q
quick verdict, which could legally
bring the death penalty if Bern
stein and his co-defendants are
found guilty.
The suspension of the trial will
take place because the presiding
officer of the court, Judge Moeller
of the Hanseatic special tribunal,
is leaving Hamburg on pressing
official business.

He has decided, rather than
leave the intricate proceedings In
the hands of a substitute during

sions altogether.
However, officials declared, the
trial will be speeded up when he
returns to such an extent that it
is expected to be completed within
