ICkeS Launches
Blast at Lobbyists
On the Sugar Bill

tactics and shallow arguments of
selfish groups seeking special priv
ilegeS, to be miSled into the adop-
ton of legislation so fundamen-
tally discriminatory and inequita-
BILE as that which the little group
of cane refining corporations is
seeking"
Ickes said the activities of re-
finer lobbyists presented the spec
tacle of an industry which, al
though absolutely dependent for
its life blood on some forms of for
eign and interstate commerce, is
undertaking by all means at its
command to strangle some other
forms of foreign and interstate
commerce which it finds competi-
tive.
Regarding the compromise"
sugar marketing bill which the
house agriculture committee re-
ported favorably two weeks ago,
IckeS said the government of the
United States would be disregard
ing its public trust if such legis-
lation were adopted"
The compromise" bill partial
ly met the administrations de-
mandS by recognizing The right of
Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Vir-
gin Islands to classification as do
mestic areas, but continued dras-
tic restrictions on the amount of
refined sugar they may ship to
the mainland.
Ickes described reports that the
bill meets the views of the admin
istration as propaganda" which
has no foundation in fact and a
consideration of the effects of the
determinations which this bill
contains against the American
citizens of Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands should
make it obvious that the govern
ment of the United States would
be disregarding it's public trust if
such legislation were adopted"
Pointing out that the bill con-
tains no restrictions on mainland
cane refining operations, Ickes
said, this would mean that con-
trary to the fundamental princi-
plies of Democratic government,
one group of American citizens
would be compelled to suffer a
wholly unnecessary and undesir-
able discrimination"

George GerShwin,
Genius of Tin Pan
Alley, Is Dead
Continued from Page One)

He had been collaborating with
his brother, Ira Gershwin, on
musical scores for a new film to
be produced at Samuel Goldwyn
studios.
Gershwin, born in Brooklyn, N.
Y, Sept. 26, 1898. was most cele-
brated for his Rhapsody in Blue
which was first played by Paul
Whiteman's orchestra in 1924.
A product of New York's East
Side where he lived during the
early years of his life, he became
one of the foremost citizens of
Tin Pan Alley" where most of
Americas jazz music was born.
He studied under the late
Charles Hambitzer, who recogniz-
ed the young prodigy's musical
genius when he was IA and took
him under his wing.
Among his early musical hits
were scores for Lady Be Good"
"Oh Kay" and George Whites
Scandals" He wrote the musical
score for the Scandals" when he
was Is.
The Rhapsody" which had it's
premier at Aeolian Hall on Feb.
II, 1924, made Gershwin an inter-
national figure. He was then 25,
and had moved from the East
Side to a five-story house on the
upper West Side which became a
haunt of the strange brood of
Greenwich Village musicians seek
ing Americas Soul"
GerShwin wrote honking of au-
to horns, sirens of ambulances and
the clatter of the elevated into his
music. The Rhapsody" was COM
pleted in 10 days, and after that
came his Concerto in F Flat" and
American in Paris.
GerShwin was standing in his
private study overlooking the
Hudson river when the theme of
American in Paris" occurred to
him.
II couldn't write from the
standpoint Of a Frenchman," he
later explained, because I'm not
Frenchman. But I loved the riv-
er, and I often thought Of how I
had been homesick for it.
And then the idea struck me

The composition was produced
by the Philharmonic society of
New York in Carnegie Hall on Dec,

Quoted.
In March of that year he had
gone to Paris for the production
of the Rhapsody" by the Pasde-
loup orchestra, and ballet ver-
sion was produced at the Champs
ElyseeS theater.
From that time on, GershWin
graduated from his rating as an
American composer and became
an international musician. In the
early years of talking pictures, he
contributed his genius to the
scores of a half dozen major pro-
ductionS.

Alben w. Barkley, D., KY, toward
the majority leadership under cir
cumstances which may bring eau
Gus showdown among senate Demo-
Gratis next week not only on the
court issue but on New Deal spend

Barkley's election would boom ad-

plans. Choice of Sen. Pat Harri-

candidate, would be viewed as no
tice to the White House that a
majority of Democratic senators be-
lieved the New Deal was moving
too fast and too far 1t would be a
step toward early adjournment.
The president wrote Barkley that
it was the duty of congress and
especially of Democrats to devise
methods and enact judiciary re-
organization. In razor sharp Ian
