A LETTER FROM
J. w. STUDEBAKER

United States Commissioner of Education
"Those forms of expression which we
are accustomed to call the fine arts are
badly named if the word fine is used to
connote remoteness from the common
struggles, passions and dreams of human
beings.
''The basis of democracy is the belief
that the urge within all of US for richer
and fuller life is valid and vital, and that
opportunity to seek it is the heritage Of
everyone. That is why our forefathers
classed the pursuit Of happiness with
liberty and life as primal rights.
'Victory over want, the attainment of
material comforts and leisure, are not
ends in themselves, or they would be
barren. They are means to the end that
we may live instead Of exist, by creating
and by sharing the glories of life through
unfettered expression.
"The project being undertaken by your
committee should do much toward help
ing US to use our leisure for self-full-
Hlment."

"RENOIR (1s41-1919) was the great painter
Of women His portraits of men secondary
in composition and dimension. His precise eye
caught and his quick brush pictured babies,
girls, women in all their charm and loveliness.
Elegant and plebean, tender and seductive, he
painted them all: Portraits, understanding,
reading, bathing. He gave to painting new idea
of the Nude. Il. But also, like the other impress
sionists, he painted with a bright and vivid
brush colorful masterpieces of the pleasant out
doors-picnics, street scenes, sailing parties,
river banks" (Duret). 80. During his own life
time Renoir starved, sold his pictures for few
dollars. Several years ago the Phillips Gallery
in Washington paid probably 100000 for
Renoir picture, and today millionares bid two
and three times that sum for his masterpieces.

 2 Big Disputes

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. B. The Supreme Court deferred for at least another week, decisions on two major, pending contro- versies which involve the Wash ington State law establishing minimum wages for women, and also whether the 1883 congression al resolution barring payment of obligations in gold applied to bullion as we'll as coin.
 The Court was damned with spectators and long line waited outside. When the Justices filed from their chambers they gave no indication that President Roos evelt's proposal for the reorganiz ing of the court, has made them the center of stormy debate.
 Starting today they listened to a debate on the validity of labor legislation which guarantees col lective bargaining for workmen, and sets up boards to handle in- dustrial disputes.
 Among the litigants opposing the validity of the law, is the As sociated Press.

I have on my desk . copy of one of the pleasantest letters I've ever had the good luck to receive from a Fan club. we often wonder" the members begin their collective message, what are the problems of Q radio singer. Of course we under stand that all singers must con- tinue to practice seriously no mat ter how successful they are. We know they oil have to be good little boys and girls who take care of their vocal chords.
 "But that's not the point. We're radio fans, and we want to know what are the special problems of air artists, that others, perhaps, would never experience"
 The letter went on to say that they were going to have fun send- ing their suggestions for Q "Solu. ton" to the problems I reported, More power to thenl I'll certainly wait eagerly for their reply. Some. times we in the studio are too close to our difaculties to have . clear perspective about them.
 I'm passing along some of the knots we have to untangle, and I'll be more than willing to consider any helpful hints" that might be offered as "a way out"
 First of all, the schedule of Q radio singers whole life must be more exact than that of other per- formers. BroadcastS, as we all know, are timed to the second. The schedule does not vary. Conse- quently, practice hours, meals, and sleeping time must At into Q pre- scribed pattern.
 You've heard of mike-fright, siYn- liar to the stage-fright that makes people on stage forget their lines or even 90 dumb" for the moment, and not. be able to speak e word.
 I can't understand why radio singers new to the airwaves should be alarmed by that harmless lock- ing little microphone. But the more experience @ radio artist has, the more Knowledge he gains of the technical complexities of voice pro. duction over the air. He learns that he ought to stand just this or that far from the mocrophone itself. He discovers, with the aid of sound en- gineers, that certain brand-new tricks of voice-control can be utii- ized to improve the tonal quality he sends into the ether.
 Most everyone has heard a friend someone whose voice is quite famil- far, speak on the air. How many times have you heard such Q com- ment as Well, If that's Homer Zilch
