Beat LaGuardia or Face Fair
Boycott, Nazis Threaten

BERLIN, March IL G.N.S0.
The New York 1888 world fair
without Mayor LaGuardia, or the
world fair under a Fascist boycott.
This possibility became firmly
fixed in Nazi minds today as
future possibility, according to pri-
vate indications.
The present Nszi intention is to
snub and isolate LaGuardia in
every respect, and, If he is re-
elected, to consider the possibility
Of persuading Italy and other Fas-
ciSt countries jointly to discourage
participation in the fair.
This action, the NaZiS feel,
would impose an exposition boy
colt throughout large portion of
Europe and the Far East, including
Japan.
At present, however, the Ger
mans are stalking their hopes in
Mayor LaGuardia'S defeat for re-
election in the New York balloting
this fall. A Nazi spokesman said:
at is hoped that by the time
Of the fair LaGuardia will no
longer be mayor.
II am inclined to think the
Reich government itself would
hardly dignity LaGuardia by Of
ficially bOycOtting the fair be-
cause of him. Germany can
only hope the New York electors
will choose another mayor"
Mayor LaGuardia reached the
peak of his unpopularity in Ger
many last week when he suggested
Adolf Hitler as Exhibit A in a
chamber of horrors at the New
York fair.

COLIidge Quartet Modern

The final program of chamber
music in a series of eight concerts
was given yesterday afternoon by
the Coolidge Quartet at the Lii
brary Of Congress auditorium with
a full house in attendance.
The program opened with the
full harmony and sometimes play
full melodies of the Haydn Quar-
tet in F, Opus IT, No. g." But
thereafter the concert was given
over to the sweet dulcet OLSON
anceS of modern harmony.
Randall ThompSon'S THE Wind
in the Willows" in three parts,
was rather cute. The River

which not all of the thoughts
we're pleasant; there was a forced
gayety in Toad, Esq" as if the
warted tailless amphibian were
trying to forget his status in life;
1.-The Wild Wood" gave a good
imitation of the wind whiStling
through the wood, or, better still
through the facadeS of the new
Interior Building, with occasional
realistic sounds of the Surreptiti-

mails.
THE Wind in the Willows" was
suggested after the book for chill
dren by Kenneth Grahame bear
il-g the same name. The stories
in the book are doubtless attrac-
tive to the child mind, but the
child mind is more discerning when
it comes to the music. The music
is the mixed phantaSy of the adult
mind.

GEORGE
SCORES COST
OF ARMS

LONDON, March IL Q.N.SO.
Use of rearmament programs to
relieve unemployment was vigor-
ously criticized in the House of
Commons today by David Lloyd
George. The wartime premier
said:
ut is a bad thing for nations
to work out an artificial pros
perity even for q short time by
expedients which menace the
life of civilization and threaten
the human race with the great
est calamity that can befall IL.
The ornaments race will come
to an end because nations can
not afford It,"
Urging that o portion Of the
prospective 1900 million dollar
arms expenditure be used to aid
agriculture, Lloyd George warned
the house that a mighty navy,
army and air force alone in the
next war would not win for Brit
ain. He added:
"The front where we nearly
broke down in the last war was
a food 'front.'
at was q shortage Of food
that broke down Germany and
other enemy countries, and very
nearly broke us down before It
broke them down.
To-day we are less prepared
from q food viewpoint than in
1914"

sonances. There is q more pains

does not bring about such rude
clashes as is evident in most of
the music called modern. The

their Stilted whimsy, are interest

GERMAN JEWS
THREATENED
NEWWOES
BY PIERRE ]. HUSS

BERLIN, March IL qN.SO
Amid threats of further woe for
Jews in Germany, United States
Ambassador william E. Dodd
made last minute preparations
today to lodge emphatic com
ments" with the German govern
ment against outspoken jibes in
the Nad press regarding American
women and conditions.
Ambassador Dodd was seized
uled to present the sharp protest
verbally to German Foreign Min
lister Baron KonStantin Won Neu-
rath this afternoon. The Nazi out
cry against America resulted from
a sally by Mayor FioreIlo H. La
Guardia Of New York, who sug-
gested an image of Chancellor
Hitler be displayed in chamber
of horrors" at the 1899 World
Fair.
NaziS Delay DOdd
Efforts of the American Am
basSador to hasten delivery OF the
protest were hampered by the Ger
man foreign office, however.
Officials there insisted Won
Neurath's appointment list was
crammed until $50 p. m. as a re-
suit, Dodd, attired in an ordinary
business suit, was expected to
leave the American Embassy at
Sis p. M, to deliver the oral pro
test.
Hull, 1t was learned, instructed
Dodd not to mince matters in
pointing out Washington's dis
pleasure with the Nazi press at
tack, especially the language used
by the newspaper Der Angriff, the
official Nazi organ. This paper
used such strong language much
Of it was considered "unprintable"
in the United States.
German officials appeared sur
prised and even little shocked
at the turn events have taken.
They declined to comment on the
prOGeSC, however,
Press Attack Continues
But the illustrator Beobachter,
a NaZi weekly, kept on cunning for
La Guardia. 1t published photo
graph Of the mayor with his mouth
open in a speaking attitude. Be
meath appeared the caption:
zone glance shows the classic
descent Of this political gangSter
of the Ghetto. This cramped
'ikey' gesture points to the old
Jewish nobility. A thing like
this is allowed impudently to
proVOcate!"
Furtherance Of the German boy
colt movement against Jews within
the Reich was revealed by minis
try of interior bulletin, which made
its appearance in honor Of Minis
ter of the Interior DR.. Wilhelm
Frick's birthday today. He is 50.
Label All Stores
This bulletin said German"
stores in the Reich henceforth will
be labelled as such to distinguish
them from Jewish stores. German
officials will be forbidden to buy
anything from Jews or even to
have anything to do with Jews.
Germans, meanwhile, are veer-
ing more and more toward the
opinion that Communism is flour
fishing in the United States. Re
porting a speech on this subject,
the Berliner Tageblatt carried a
headline:

The opening lines of "All Points
West" which will be featured on
the concert program Of Paul
Whiteman and the National SYM
phony Orchestra March IT, sound
like strange words for song. But
the piece by RodgerS-Hart, which
made such a hit in the Philadel-
phia Symphony Orchestra con-
certs under Whiteman's direction,
is new in form.
It is a combination Of orchestral
tone poem, dramatic, aria and
recitation; the whole presenting a
musical reflection Of the thoughts
that run through the head of a
train announcer as he uSherS out
the various expresses and locals,
bound for far places with their
more or less precious loads OF
human freight. The announcer'S
soliloquoy continues:
That's old Senator Hawkins.
Only comes here to look at the
musical shows and go to cabaretS.
Now he's runnin' back to make
our laws. Must be nice in Wash
ington. Never been to Washing
ton. See that salesman with his
sample cases and his wife. He's
kissing her good-by. A long, long
trip. She's whispering In his ear.
He promises. Oh, yes, he'll be
true. Oh, yes; he'll be true! Ha!

are! How clean they are! How
fresh and beautiful! Their hands
are soft, their eyes are bright. At
night they sleep and dream their
hearts away"
Don't Shoot!
Whats that yelling! What's
that crowd! Police whistles! The
crook! The prisoners broke away!
Look at the cops-they got him!
No, they didn't; I hope he makes
it. Look out-there's a cop be-

You'll hit someone! Oh, you fool!
Why me? Here! Here! I'm
goin'-goin'! On track seven, at
IL! Oh, sights to see-to see-to
go! I'm goin' Somewhere-now!"
This tragic ending to "A1l
Points West" somehow strikes
common chord of recollection.
How often is the remark made
that someone ought to shoot the
train announcer because no one
can ever understand what he says.
