Mr.. Shure's "Berkie Symphony

in these columns as the various
themes were reproduced. The
theme shown above is played by
the bass clarinet with the con.
slant pedal point rhythm of the
tympani. The Largo movement is

Mr.. SaminSky wrote Pueblo
at his home in Rye, N. Y, last

composed it for the National
Symphony orchestra. Pueblo is
a two-movement work. depicting
the Indians sense of restleSsness
at being shut in tenCI for the
winter, and his joy at the coming
of spring and liberation from his
confinement.
Into his composition, Mr.. Sa
minsky wove themes of a moon
dance of the Ute Indians, and corr
and rain songs of the Pueblo and
Iowa tribes, all of which inspired
him Just as strongly as has that

The girl whose voice changed
from soprano to low contralto
after a parachute jump is remin-
iscent of the story of the man
who wandered around in winter
weather without an overcoat, so to
get a cold in order to sing bass
in a male quartet.
If someone would start fad
for popularizing contralto voices,
many girls with high voices would
doubtless fall for this stunt. 1t is
also advocated as a method for
cooling off torch singers voices.

Mr.. Shure's "Berkie Symphony, "
will be given a first public per

afternoon at 4:45 o'clock at Con

The first movement of the piano
concerto is Allegro; Andante. After
a brilliant introduction. there is an
exposition of the first theme, fol-
lowed by the second theme which
is more rhythmic than melodic In
alternating 60 and "a time. The
second movement, Andante con

ment, Allegro ma non troppo, is in
the form Of a rondo in a light
Scherzo style. The first theme is
patterned after the second move
ment theme and the second theme
is taken from the theme of the
first movement. The movement
ends with a long coda. The first
and third movements contain dis

exercise

but you can throw it and catch it
both.
In throwing the ball, reach the
hands high overhead, then toss 1t
from that height to your partner.
Another good position for the
throwing exercise is to stand with
feet apart, ball held in front of
stomach. Bend over to touch the
ball to the floor between the feet,
return to stomach and throw to
partner from that position.
Here is an exercise which Miss
Dean promises will firm the upper
arms, strengthen the pectoralS and
put the shoulders smartly back in
their place:
Position: Standing erect, elbows
bent and held straight out from
shoulders, fingers resting on
shoulders.
Movement: Keeping fingers on
shoulders, flap elbows forward and
back vigorously. Repeat II counts,
rest, continue IL more counts.
It is amazing how you can lose
in measurements with Well-dlrected
exercise, so if you are not satisfied
with your figure, get busy.

Roosevelt's actions and utterances.
There is some light in two related
episodes that occurred recently.
On one day Senator Mtnton OF In
diana went to the White House and
spent nearly an hour with Mr.. Roose-
welt. Senator Minton has proposal
to limit decisions Of the Supreme
Court. He would have Congress enact
that a law can be held unconstitu-
tional only when at least seven out OF
nine justices unite in saying 1t Is.
When Senator Minton ended his
visit with the President he was ques-
toned by newspaper men. Just inside
the door of the Office end Of the White
House is a small room in which some
half-dozen correspondents keep watch.
Their custom is to waylay callers who
have just been with the President and
ask them what was discussed. Some
times the caller Is eager to be waylaid.
Commonly he has some project he
wishes to promote, and he welcomes
the opportunity to get publicity by
saying he discussed his project with
the President. Sometimes, unless the
President has shouted mo, no, no."
the caller is prone to give the impress
sicn that the President agreed with
him. or at least listened to him SYM
pathetically.
Minton Forecasts Conference.
Senator Minton appears to have
done none of these things; his part in
the episode appears to have been cir
cumspect But Senator Minton was
known to favor measure TO limit the
Supreme Court and Senator Minton
had called at the White House. The
newspaper men asked him if he had
discussed this matter with the Presi-
dent. Senator Minton said he had.
The newspaper men asked other ques-
tions and Senator Minton was quoted
as saying The President told me he
would call a conference" The in
ference was that the conference would
discuss legislation to limit the court.
This seemed to be news in an i'm
portant and highly controversial field.
Newspapers the following morning
printed it on first pages with accom-
panying speculation as to what might
be done. Quite possibly the newspa-
pers carried the speculation farther
than the facts justified. The public
no doubt got the impression that Mr..
Roosevelt favored legislation to curb
the Supreme Court and that some
thing would be done.
Quick Denial Follows.
The following day, soon after the
morning papers were out. one Of the
Presidents secretaries sent for the
newspaper men. What he told them
may be read in an account in the
Philadelphia Evening Ledger under
the caption aides Deny F. r. Plans
Court Curb"
THE White House denied with con-
siderable forcefulness today sugges-
tions that President Roosevelt was
preparing to ask for legislation to
curb the Supreme Courts power. 80

But it by no means will have the
American people from such reprisals
as foreign peoples may devise against
us. Only complete embargo on all
war supplies, including foodstuffs,
would satisfy the absolute require
ments OF strict neutrality. But this
would mean a stoppage of so much
business activity as to bring on a
domestic depression, and the pressure
for resumption of trade would be too
difficult for any political government
to withstand. no matter how much
neutrality legislation had been previ-
ously put on the statute books. What
a majority of Congress can enact to-
day can be repealed by majority OF
Congress at any time thereafter.
Historically. the most important way
to narrow the operations Of bellig-
erents has been for neutrals to increase
rather than decrease the scope of
neutrality rights. The new trend
toward withdrawal of diplomatic pro-
lection for American ships or citizens,

claims, of any property rights Of
American citizens that might be vio-
lated by the belligerents.
What, then, is the most effective
way, if any, to keep America out Of
war?
First. 1t is to impose certain limita-
tions on diplomatic protection, but
permit American ships as well as ciu-
zens to engage in war trade.
Second, it is to use American eco
nomic and diplomatic influence con-
stantly to restore normal conditions
in the world so that international
friction will be reduced to the min
imum.
