RELIEF POLICY
REVISION IS
PROPOSED
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

International news service
Reorganization Of Federal re-
lief policies was proposed today
by q Senate appropriations sub
committee. The subcommittee
reported the $500, 000,0 900 relief
fund with a provision calling
for local contributions to the
cost Of all non-Federal WPA
projects.
If approved by Congress, the
new policy would require local
contribution to relief projects or
q return to direct cash relief
for the needy unemployed. Spon.
sors Of the local contribution
plan declared it would stamp out
waste, eliminate useless projects
and force local communities to
assume q measure of responsible
ity in caring for their own I'M
employed.
Local Savings Seen
The provision, sponsored by
Senator Byrnes CD Of South
Carolina, was adopted by the sub.
committee only after it refused
to reduce the fund to $1,000, OOO,-
900. Byrnes said local contribu-
tons would reduce Federal RELIEF
costs. $50
The proposal would require
States, counties, cities or their
political subdivisions to put up
40 per cent of the cost Of each
non-Federal project in order to
get so per cent out Of relief funds.
This would apply to all WPA
projects, including even leaf
raking, bodybuilding and such
white-collar projects as mural
decorations.
Where communities are unable
to raise the necessary 40 per cent,
the provision would give the
President power to fix the ratio
in conformity with the locality'S
ability to pay.
Byrnes, meanwhile, declared his
plan would make $4,000, 000, 900
available for relief and remove
the necessity of dropping 100000
persons from relief rolls.
The whole subject was turned
over to the full Senate appropria-
lions committee, which met be-
hind locked doors to pass upon the
bill.
Would Save Dismissals
Byrnes said:
':H the local governments com
ply with the 40 per cent require
ment, It will make available q
total Of $2,50O, 600, 900 for relief
projects IL the Federal Govern
ment apprOpriates $1,5OO, OOO,-
600 for that purpose. II the
amount finally appropriated is
less, the total will be cut In
proportion.
with this money available,
there would be no necessity for
the dismissal from the rolls Of
100000 people, that Il antici-
pated by Administrator Hop
kinS.
"Of course, If the local govern.
mentS do NOS meet the require
mentS, then to the extent they
do not, it viii reduce the Federal
expenditures on relief. My own
belief is that many projects are
asked only because other COM
Inunities are getting them and
that when the local govern
mentS are asked to put up 40 per
cent Of the cost, it will cause
their citizens to hesitate unless
the projects are really neCeS.

voice showed to best advantage in the
English numbers, the tones free and
expressive in the contrasting character
of the songs. A lack Of tonal stability
and a too great changing of vocal color
was most evident in the aria, while the
slow tempo in which it was taken did
not realize the joyous outburst of the
text. In the numbers by the girls

solo passages effectively.

are equally we'll matched and this
balance, together with their technical
command gives finish to their per-
formance. In Nevin's "Venetian Love
Song" and Godard's Lullaby from

'Glee Clubs
.OfG.W.Give
Fine Recital
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.
\HE George Washington Univer-
sity Glee Clubs gave their tenth
annual Sr,ripc concert loet ava

annual Spring concert last eve
4 ming at the Willard Hotel
before a festive, capacity audience.
The clubs had as assisting soloist,
Margery League, soprano, and in one
OF the numbers. the solo part was
taken by Randolph Hughes, baritone.
The Brusilof Concert Orchestra played
as the singers marched on the stage
while Paul De Long Gable and Vance
Shlflett supplied the accomplishments
for the choral numbers.
The fresh, young voices of both the
men and girls clubs are clear toned
and ample in volume although the
ampllfying system used last night was
not OF the best. The director, Robert
Howe Harmon, has trained them in
precision of attack and distinct enunci-
alton, two points which determine the
success of group organization with
the audience. They sing with spirit
and the harmonization of vocal tone
is mellow and true. For these essen
tias OF good choral singing, the uni
versity singers are outstanding and
their programs are presented with an
elan that keeps the listeners atten-
ton in a most pleasant mood.
The usual Prayer OF Thanksgiving"
opened the program sung by the mems
club with fine vocal quality and was
followed by an old favorite with this
group, Robertson's The jolly Roger"
A clever song Of Bartholomew "Old
Man Noah" made a decided hit as
sung in lusty fashion by the men
This first group concluded with Walter
Grimes Buff and Blue Forever" a
well written alma mater number.

Molnar Play.
NOV. in the middle Of May, the
King-Smith Players come along

local Little Theater season. Their
production Of F. (we're not going tc

Good casting is a major reason for
the success Of the student production
Or rather good casting, good acting
and good directing have been combined
with telling effect, for the two leading
roles are played with a sincerity which
points up every one of Molnar's excel
lent scenes. At the beginning of things
