Gertrud Wettergren, contralto,
and Lauritz Melchior, tenor, ap-
pearing in joint recital yesterday
at the morning musical at the
Mayflower Hotel, were accorded a
most enthusiastic reception by toe
audience and number of encores
were sung.
Nine. Wettergren received two
bouquets of flowers and Mrs.
Lawrence Townsend, the sponsor
Of the series. personally presented
Mr.. Melchior with a wreath in ac-
cordance with the European
custom.
In her opening song of the first
group, Nine. Wettergren pro.
nounced "Ich liebe dich" (Bees-
hoven) as if ch were sh, thereby
causing some furtive glanceS N
the audience. But she was merely
giving the pronunciation in one
of the PruSsian dialects which is
considered in some circles as being
quite the thing, just as Bostonesa
English is regarded by similar
circles in this country.

AS a final encore she sang the

(Bizet), much to the delight of the
audience.
When one has to sing the role
of Tristan the same night, it is
expecting too much of Mr.. Mel
chior that he be up to his best
in the morning. Melchior needed
the first song and the second
group of songs to serve as timber
ing-up exercises, but when he ar
rived at the group of Schubert
and Strauss art songs, his voice
was in top condition.
His delightful Interpretation of
the Schubert songs, Der Doppel-

moods ranging from the heroic to
the most carefully controlled soft
passages, brought forth showers Of
praise. AS an encore, he sang

UP NUISANCE
TAXES SOON
international News Service

House leaders tentatively de-
cided today to start action next
week for reenactment of 500 mil
lion dollars in miscellaneous sales
and nuisance" taxes.
Hope that many of the levies
can be abandoned because of riS-
ing national income and tax re-
ceipts faded somewhat as the time
for action neared.
Fear that repeal of few levieS
would arouse demand for similar
action on others, C h a i r m n
Doughton (DD of North Carolina,
of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, indicated, may force continu-
alton of all.
Expire In June
The levies, most of which ex-
pire June 80 unless reenacted, in
clude excises on automobile, &C
cessories, rubber tires, mechanical
refrigerators, sporting goods, gaso-
line, stamp taxes and the three
cent interstate postage rate.
Some of the many levies, Treas
ury experts have found, cost so
much to collect that very little
net revenue is yielded. Doughton
said some Of these may not be
extended.
Whether revision Of the cor
porate surplus tax law enacted last
year will be considered is still un'
certain, Doughton said. 1t is prob.
able no action will be taken until
after the March Is tax returns
are in.
Few Complaints
Doughton said that while there
has been demands for modifica-
ton of the law to aid corporations
In debt and to permit plant eXpan-
sion, complaints against operation
Of the law are not numerous.
Decision to consider the miscel-
laneous tax bill separately from
others may doom proposals Of
some members to cut the Federal
tax and return the scent glass of
beer" Consideration of other pro-
posals for new tariff taxes also
may be indefinitely postponed.
The feminine bloc" is planning
a fight against reenactment of the
tax on cosmetics. They argue it
Is tax on necessities" of women.

Drug Find Called
Check to Pneumonia

years as an inferno in Boston,
three years in research work at
Johns Hopkins, and three years
as instructor at McGill University
in Montreal, Canada.
Found Mercury Antidote
Declaring that the results of the
treatments given the mice have
been very encouraging, DR.. Rosen-
thai explained that the treatment
consists of injections into the mice
of a synthetic drug whose molecule
is essentially the molecule Of
pronteSil, which has come into
such prominence in the last few
months in the treatment Of strep-
tococci infections in humans, but
was split in half. It's chemical
name is para-amino obenzene sui
phonamide.
In addition to his accomplish
ments in the pneumonia treatment
and the development Of the liver
tests, DR.. Rosenthal, who has been
with the Government service for
the past eight years, is also credited
with the discovery of an antidote
for bichlorid of mercury, which
has been commonly accepted by
the medical profession.
The pneumonia discovery, he ex.
planned, started several years ago
when it was learned that a sulphur
containing drug that was an anti
dote for hichlOrid mercury also
had an effect in curing pneumonia
infection in mice.
The experiments on the mice
showed that those untreated died
from the lethal doses of pneu-
mococci within Is to "a hours,
while those given treatments lived
until the third to fifth day and
at the end of the week 25 to a
per cent were alive.
