Playing of Classics on Guitar
Repired by Spanish Composer

Have you ever heard Bach played
on the guitar?
If so, it was probably by Andres
Segovia, famed Spanish guitarist, who
is to give his third concert here at
the Wardman Park Hotel tonight.
Bach is not only his favorite COM
poser, but the "Chaconne," an exact.
ing piece written for the violin, is his
favorite.
The 44-year-old Spaniard. who
played his first concert 80 years ago.
explained his classical use of the in
strument by saying that the guitar
has two definite aspects, the popular
and the classic, of which the latter
has been sadly neglected.
THE guitar is used in Spain. as
it is here" he said, mostly to accom-
pany the voice. Somehow, that use
of it never appealed to me. I wanted
to play the airs of the great composers
and I started right in at the age
of 10 to do it."
His particular reason for liking
Bachs "Chaconne" is that, apart
from the artistry it requires. it has
a Spanish theme and is in a good
key for the guitar.
Contrary to most composers,
Segovia. who looks very much like
Franz Schubert, has no special esteem
for his own works, but infinitely
prefers the work of the masters.
Sor, an eighteenth century Catalan
composer, is his idea of a great COM
poser whose works are suitable for the
instrument.
His guitar, though. Is a different
matter 1t was made especially for
him by Ramirez, a famous Spanish
guitar maker, in 1911 and he carries
it around in a great black case COW
cred with stickers from the various
countries in which he has played on
his tours to Europe, America and
South America. 1t is worth at least
$4,000 in cash. he said. but to him
it is invaluable. It could never be
replaced
Segovia practices four or five hours
a day and uses no pick of any sort.
Many of the modern composers who
have heard him play have been so
impressed that they have written
music especially for him. These in
clude De Falla, Turina and Torroba.
The key of D minor is the one best
suited for the instrument. he said,
because it is right in the center of
the strings. leaving the player equal
range up or down.
Segovia not only has very hand
some guitar, but his wife loses nothing
in the comparison. Il have but two
interests in life" he said. putting an
affectionate arm about her-"my
guitar and my wife"

DRIVE UNDER WAY
ON GAMING PLACES
Harassment Campaign Reported
in Full Swing in Second
Precinct.

A harassment campaign against
gambling establishments in the Sec
ond precinct, generally recognized as
the hub Of the city's gaming activities,
was in full swing today.
On the order of Capt. James E.
Bobo, precinct commander, three
officers we're walking short beats
in the HOO block of Ninth street and
the HOO and 1000 blocks Of Four
teenth.
Two Of Washington's most notorious
gamblers have establishments in the
second precinct area, it was said.
I'VE are going to drive them out, "
Bobo declared. ANY other known
gamblers are going, too. If they move
from one place to another within the
precinct limits, We'll follow them
Bobo said the short beat" already
was affecting one gambling place,
located in cigar store. The fact
that an officer was passing the door
every few minutes was influencing
customers" to buy tobacco instead of
placing bets, according to the captain.

WAGE AND HOUR

Administration Supporters
Predict Roosevelt Will Soon
Give Proposal to Congress.


BY the Associated Press.
Administration supporters predicted
today the President soon would send
wage and hour proposals to Con-
gress.
The forecast followed delivery to
the White House yesterday of the re-
port Of a committee of Government
experts who have been studying the
problem.
James Roosevelt, the Presidents
son and secretary. said he would CO.
ordinate the recommendations and
give his father a final draft.
Those who made the study were
Benjamin v. Cohen and Thomas G.
Cor0ran, who have helped shape
several major administration meas
ures; John @. Winant, former chair
man of the Social Security Board, and
Robert H. Jackson, Assistant Attorney
General.
Some administration officials ex-
pressed the belief the President would
ask Congress to outlaw excessively low
wages and long hours in a revision Of
the antitrust laws.
Voluntary agreements among busi-
ness men to ban unfair and wasteful
trade practices also may be proposed,
although it is emphasized the Presi-
dent has made no final decision on
the form of the legislation.

HACKENSACK. N. j., February rs.
-G-man science has removed a major
obstacle to finding the owner Of gun
used in the murder of r. Norman
Redwood, New York "sandhog" union
leader, Bergen County Police Chief
Peter ]. Siccardi said today.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton laboratories at Washington re-
stored the flled-off serial number, he
said, and the purchasers name was
expected today from the manufacturer.
He said he hoped the records of the
factory at Hartford, Conn, eventually
would lead to the killer.
Aid of the Connecticut State police
was enlisted in tracing the gun num-
Der, as picked detectives of a special
New York-New Jersey crime bureau
followed other tangled clues.
The F. B. I. report. Siccardi said,
caused Investigators to drop trails that
led to New York, Detroit. st. Louis,
Oklahoma and to police chief, now
dead, Of a town near here.
This is the final, authentic check
on the gun" Siccardi declared.
The F. B. I. methods were def
nitely more accurate than those OF
the private crime detection bureau
at Elizabeth, which reported the in
correct number"
John j. Breslin, jr, prosecutor OF
Bergen County, said county officials
and members of the Interstate Crime
Bureau would confer today with two
union leaders, Joseph Moreschi, presi-
dent, and James A. Bove, vice presi-
dent of the International Hod Car
riers and Building Laborers' Union.
Breslin and members of his staff
conferred for several hours last night
with New York police officials in New
York.
II still say Redwood was killed be-
cause of a terrific labor dispute in
New York, and over labor trouble OF
the union," Breslin declared.
He refused to comment when asked
if the case was near solution, If he
had any idea who killed Redwood, il
he expected an arrest or If ne in
tended to issue any warrants.
Deputy Inspector Richard F. Oliver
of the New York police will issue Or
ders to the New York and New Jersey
detectives assigned to the bureau, and
they will work as If no State line ex-
isted, Breslin said.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 25.-Repre-
sentatives of coal miners and operators
in the Great Appalachian field, sitting
about q green-topped conference table
in an effort to reach new wage
agreement, faced a job of indefinite
duration today in the second day OF
their resumed deliberations.
The issues go deep and the union
the United Mine Workers of John L.
Lewis-has threatened strike unless
a new working basis is formulated
by March 81, the date the present
agreement expires.
The conferees, forming joint COM
mittee of the Appalachian wage con-
ference, must pass upon the demands
of 100000 miners for higher wages
and for 200 guaranteed days of work
. year.
Harmony Is Reported.
They got well into the discussion
Of wages yesterday. but whether they
reached the highly controversial de-
mand for a minimum annual wage
was not disclosed
Charles P. O'Neill of New York, an
operators spokesman, said every
thing is harmonious-so far" but
neither he nor Phillip Murray, the
union vice president. would predict
when the task might be finished.
The committees deliberations, con-
Quoted in complete secrecy, had
touched at least generally, said
Murray, upon every major issue in
volved, but there was concurrence of
opinion that the heaviest part Of the
spade work in the negotiations was
still to come.
The annual wage guarantee was
said by a semi-oficial operators
spokesman to be one of the toughest
issues. Small operators, in particular
1t was asserted, had evidenced strong
opposition.
Murray, however, said he had noted
no substantial difference toward the
principle among any of the classes of
operators, but he would not discuss
the situation further.
30-Hour Week Demanded.
The negotiations reached the COM
mittee in regular course through the
Appalachian Joint Wage Conference,
which passed it along for face-to-face
solution by picked representatives of
both sides.
The unions demands include a 30
hour week, rather than the present
IS hours, and base daily pay Of Sc
in the North and $3.50 in the South,
in each case so cents above prevail
ing rates.
The operators have rejoined with a
proposal for a 40-hour week and a
IS per cent reduction in hourly pay.
