TRUST DRIVE
INDICATED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 UP)-
Attacks on monopolies by Assistant
Attorney General Robert jackson
gave rise to speculation today as to
whether the administration may
take a more favorable attitude to-
ward licensing of interstate cor
porations in a general drive for dis
solution of major trusts.
The tone of JackSon's address
strengthened reports the admins
tration is preparing for concerted
drive against monopolies i'll the
courts and the regular session OF
congress. Some congressional spon--
sors of federal licensing of corpora
tions saw the possibility of more
friendly attitude toward their pro
posals as an outgrowth of Jackson's
Speech.

Kammen said they were all gone.
They suggested I sell them my
rights and offered $50 for "Bei Mir
Bist Du Schoen" and another song.
I took it and we signed a contract,
yielding my rights. I'm not COM
planning about the contract because
it was all perfectly legal.
But then somebody wrote some
English lyrics to the tune and a
few weeks ago Guy Lombardo
broadcast the song. You know what
happened after that"
What happened after that was
that "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen"
became the song hit Of the day
as popular, perhaps, as The Music
Goes Round and Round" Radio
orchestras play it and it is heard
in movie houses that have vaude-
vile programs. J. and j. Kammen
said they planned to do all right
by Secunda" as soon as royalties
start rolling in, but meanwhile no
one can explain to Mrs. Secunda
why her son has to keep working
in the Yiddish art theater where
he says the most he can ever earn
is SIS a week.

MOTHER PRAYS FOR SON TO
GET MUSIC HIT RECOGNITION

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. (UP)-
This is story out or Tin Pan Alley
about composer who sold the
song hit of the day for a paltry
$50 and about his aged mother who
fasts in a synagogue from sunrise
until she sees the first evening
star in an attempt to wash away
this mistake with tears and prayers.
You will hear this song today if
you turn on your radio--a lifting
tune that CLUES itself to your mem
DRY and is called "Bei Mir Bist Du
Schoen". Somebody is going to
make fortune out of it, but 1t
won't be Sholem Secunda, who
wrote it and who tried to reason
with his mother in her Brooklyn
home today and to tell her about
contracts and the law. Unless he
can make these things clear to her
she will 90 back to the synagogue
on Monday for another day Of
prayer and hunger, and Secunda
is afraid she can't stand it.
Freely translated, "Bei Mir Bist
Du Schoen" means you Are Beau
tiful to Me"
But it is your song" Mrs. Anna
Secunda said over and over again
to her son in Yiddish. What is
a contract? You wrote it and 1
know you wrote it and my friends
say to me Sholem should have
million dollars soon for that song.
And want you to have a million
dollars"
Mrs. Secunda is rs and speaks
no English. She believes that some
where along the years of her life.
which began in Russia, she sinned
against God and that now the wrath
of God has been poured upon the
head of her son. She does not know
what that sin could have been, but
yesterday she spent the day in a
synagogue where no water or food
passed her lips, trying to purchase
forgiveness.
II wrote the music for that song
in 1882" Secunda said "It was for
a Jewish musical comedy that open
ed in New York and then toured
the country. Last month I hap
pened to want some copies of it,

News Behind theNeWs ByPamMa1zm

In the light of these circumstances, the riddle
becomes fact, namely:
Mr. r and Mr.. L have not quarreled and have
not made UP, but are continuing their always
delicate relationship on the same plane as
formerly, which will permit Mr. R to run the
country and Mr.. L to run the C. l. O. without
either of them getting mixed up about which is
which.
Mr.. Roosevelt's game is not hard to understand.
He is not switching his support over to A. F. of L.
as some believe. Nor is he cutting himself away
from the c. I. O., as others suspect.
He seems to be simply playing one against the
other.
Black Enigma Worries
Not so easy to understand is the Black enigma.
1t is darker than the Justices name and deeper
than his Khan history
In the first place, political observers in
Washington, whose experience dates back to Khan
times have always associated the new justice
with the Khan movement. The first question
anyone from those pre-Roosevelt days would have
asked of Black in considering him for an appoint
ment, was whether he was member of the Khan.
But the Senate, in considering his nomination
did not even investigate the question. No one
seems to know why
Then Appointee Black fastened to take the
oath in most unusual way He was sworn by
Senate clerk, while the court was not in session.
The most logical thing, the safest thing, would
be to let Mr.. Black face the cards on the table
and see if he desires to turn in his hand or stand
pat. CThe way he has been running around
England, in terror, ducking the issue, has not
encouraged those officials here who hope the
trouble will be settled in the easiest possible
way-for the ADMINISTRATOR
However that seems to be what is being done.
and what will be done.

The Listening Post By Carlisle Bmgerm

on Hugo involves a highly emotional thing
Neither John nor Bill was deeply interested in
the wages and hours bill which was Hugo's labor
masterpiece and what made Mr. Roosevelt feel
so kindly toward him. But then Hugo has been
on their side of the fence They undoubtedly
would like to do anything for him they can.
John will undoubtedly separate the two though
That is, both the Administration and Hugo need
help. He is liable to do some tall bargaining on
the proposition Of helping the Administration.
John, it seems, is in better position to demand
than he ever was on that $550,000 contribution
he made to the campaign.
Irony of Situation
The irony Of the whole thing is that the Khan,
although it may return to its earlier racket now
with the publicity it is getting, had been trying
to stage comeback in the South as a Tory vigi-
lante movement directed against such "alien" in
fluences as Johns C. I. O. Had it moved along
these lines it undoubtedly would have been work
ing against Hugo in his campaign next year. It
shows you how dangerous getting mixed up in
these movements is.
In the meantime, the general assumption seems
to be that Mr.. Roosevelt will certainly tell Hugo
few things when he gets back. 1t is apparently
tice Of the United States Supreme Court and that
he doesn't have to go see Mr.. Roosevelt or even
talk to him on the telephone. In fact, we have
bunch that although Hugo heretofore has been of
the school that insisted upon cooperation between
the judicial and executive branches, he will now
insist upon complete separation.
