jurieS sustained in a traffic acci-
dent on January %.
The aged woman was thrown
from seat in taxicab when the
vehicle stopped suddenly in traf-
fic. Preliminary Investigations in
dicated that her death will be at

MANY OTHER
MEASURES TO
Be STUDIED
Committee to
Consider Procedure
at Early Date

Early consideration Of more
than score of bills affecting Gov
ernment employees, including the
McCarran pay bill, was promised
today by the Senate Civil Service
Committee.
Senator William ]. Bulow CD
of South Dakota, chairman of the
committee, is planning to hold a
meeting this week to determine
the committees course of proce-
dure on all bills involving pay, ex.
tension of the Civil Service and
retirement.
The meeting IS being called pri-
marily to decide whether the COM
mittee will hold hearings on the
bill introduced by Senator Pat Nc.
Carran CD of Nevada to increase
Government salaries, by establish
ing $500 as the minimum and
raising all other salaries up to
$4,000.
Await Roosevelt o. X.
Originally, hearings were Sched-
uled for this measure pending a
report from the Budget Bureau on
the bill. The bureau last week
reported, however, that the Presi-
dent is making a survey of Gov.
ernment personnel conditions with
a view to drafting new legislation.
This held up committee action
for some time, but now Senator
Bulow has decided to ask the COM
mittee'S views on whether the
hearings should be held.
The same holds true Of the two
postmaster bills before the COM
mittee, the Ramspeck and O'Ma-
honey bills to extend the classified
civil service to postmasters of first,
second and third classes.
O'MahOney Bill Broader
Senator Bulow's committee has
been awaiting reports from the
Post Office Department, the Bud
get Bureau and the Civil Service
Commission on both these meas
ureS, one of which, the bill intro
duced by Representative Robert
Ramspeck CD, of Georgia, chair
man of the House Civil Service
Committee, has already passed the
House. The other measure was Of
fered by Senator Joseph c. O'Ma-
honey Cd, of Wyoming.
The difference between these
bills lies in the fact that the Sen
ate measure is wider in scope, per-
mitting the entire postal service
to qualify for first class postmaS-
terships instead of establishing
geographical limitations.
The retirement bills offer wide
variety of remedies for the present
retirement system.

YOUTH
URGED TO AID
DEMOCRACY
Program Combating
Unamerican Ideas
Is Proposed

Calling on Jewish youth to con-
slant support of American democ.
racy, John Lewis, president Of
the Young Peoples League of
the United Synagogue of Ameri-
ca, today outlined at a session of
the leagues convention at the
Willard Hotel, a program COM
batting Communism and Fascism.
Mordecai M. Kaplan, dean of
the Teachers Institute of Jewish
Theological Seminary of New
York, yesterday declared that
Jewish youth should participate
in a broad program to support
American doctrines and bar alien
theology in government.
Dean Kaplan declared it "high
time" that Jewish youth who are
associated with the synagogue
"evince some signs of maturity"
as Jews and assume responsibility
for making Jewish life creative.
He said:
Jewish youth must launch a
program of activities that will
inform the mind, stir the heart
and impel the will. They should
stimulate the reading Of Jewish
books, and urge our great writ
erS in themes of Jewish interest.
They should enlist Jewish artists
and architects to help us beau
tify our homes and our public
institutions. They should foster
music in all its forms as an ex-
preston of Jewish emotions.
"They should organize choral
groups to take part in religious
services as well as sing for joy
and pleasure. They should en-
courage our great Jewish musi-
clans In their efforts to create a
repertoire Of Jewish music"
Dwelling on the effects of Nazi
teachings, Dean Kaplan declared:
"TheSe interpreters fail to re-
aliZe that the vagarieS of tOtali.
tartan 'kuItur' are foreign to the
spirit of our country. Is is far
more important to boycott Jew
ish aSSimiIatiOnism which is
made in Germany, than to boy.
colt German goods.
SEMINARS BUSY
After-luncheon group seminars
on current social and educational
problems were held and attended
by all of the delegates. A deter
mined stand against Communism
and Fascism was resolved upon by
a seminor, led by Asher Block, of
Wilkerbarre, P, and the group de-
clared democracy is the only form
of government consonant with the
teachings of religion. Their reso-
luton ended with the following
statement:
Dictatorship is a denial of the
value of personality and the
Young Peoples League ought to
cooperate with every Organiza-
ton that stands for respect for
personality and the development
and growth of the human self
without respect to color, race or
creed"

his superior knowledge of tonal color.
Repeated recalls by a highly ap-
preciative audience were responded to
by the several encores which Iturbi
generously gave. Here he rose to
the greatest heights of the evening,
feeling and playing with all his ac-
customed power from the first notes
Of Chopin's "Fantaisie- -Impromptu, +"
which he played before the inter-
mission, to the several additional

OF each, and the Schubert sonata. an
output OF one Of the rare successful
periods Of the young composers life,
held the joyous lyricism which di-
rected the inspiration of composing.
1turbi's sparkling technique, splendid
musicianship and sense OF dynamic
contrasts took advantage of every
opportunity of expression, thereby
forming a perfect medium for these
two exquisite works. Yet the tender
creation Of tone and the 10y in the
perfecting Of details which have al
ways been Iturbis particular attrib-
utes, did not rein supreme.
1t was in the latter numbers of the
program, all well known here in
Iturbi's Interpretation with the ex-
ception Of the Bennett composition,
that his peculiar style was more evi-
dent. He painted pictures in tone
OF the multi-colorSd events Of a
Corpus Christi celebration in Seville,
the varied effects of water in move
ment, and the savagry and directing
rhythm Of the ritualistic dance, skill
fully and brilliantly. His tone carried
changing hues as needed and the de-
tails Of his paintings were etched
with clarity, power and Imagination.
The two etudes from Robert Ben
nett's "Vu" or Seen in Paris" are
interesting for their study in con-
trast and for their reproduction in
Evening star., 1937-12-06

For many years Iturbi's fame was
confined to the role of pianist, but
lately he has augmented that fame
through his success as orchestral con-
ductor. Knowing of his work before
and after his determination to become
an orchestra director, there seems to
be an effect left In his pianistic per-
formance by this division Of interest.
The former thoughtful mood from
which he drew the power to infuse
thoroughly original character into
his manner Of playing was evident
yesterday to lesser degree. One is
accustomed to regard him as an artist
who from some mysterious source
within himself is able to reconstruct
the works he played in such a way as
to bring to the foreground angles of
thought and feeling that no one else
had discovered. In certain numbers
Of yesterdays program it seemed that
that mysterious source remained un-
released.
There were. for instance, moments
In both the Schumann and the Schu-
bert numbers, when the meaning Of
some notes in their relationship to
others was not emphasized and when
phrases were played for their pianistic
value solely. The charming Kinder
zenen" which Schumann wrote from
the fullness of happy heart, were
reproduced with fidelity to the mood

The greatest appreciation and Then
began asking for those which are iden-
tified with Iturbi because of the special
beauty of the Interpretation he brings
to them. So, among others, he played
Debussy's Poisson dor" Chopins
"Scherzo in B Flat Minor" a Brahms
waltz and Spanish dance by Navarro
after his program was finished, thus
rounding out highly interesting per-
formance.
There was no note OF sorrow or
drama in Iturbi's selections for yes
terday'S recital. For his opening
Evening star., 1937-12-06

numbers he selected two which are the
reflections of a happy period In each
of the composers life. Schumann's
"Kinderzenen' and Schubert's 80
nata in A Major. Op. 100" Following
these major works were Ravel's "Jeux
dEau," two etudes from Seen in
Paris" by Robert Russell Bennett;
Albeniz' "El Puerto and "Fete Dieu
a Seville" and De Falla's Ritual Fire
Dance" effective numbers In which
no deep emotion was stressed.
