The musical world should flock
to Washington next week for one
Of the most comprehensive ex-
hibitions of the art of Beethoven
ever staged.
The works to be played range
from opus IL to the last Of the
symphonies.
PROGRAMS COINCIDE
The Beethoven Festival ar
ranged by DR.. Kinder and the
National Symphony coincide with
those chapters of the current
Stradivari Festival sponsored by
the Whittall Foundation at the
Library Of Congress auditorium.
Josef Hofmann, one of the truly
great, comes on Wednesday eve
ming to play the fourth piano con-
certo. Ruggiero Ricci, the gifted
boy discovered in California by
Louis PerSinger, appears tomorrow
afternoon with the symphony, to
play the violin concerto.
DR.. Kinder has delegated re-
sponsibility for the sixth and
eighth symphonies and the accom-
paniment Of the violin concerto
to Antal Dorati, the conductor Of
the Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo.
He retains for himself the splen-
did seventh and ninth symphonies,
and the "PremetheuS" overture &C.

violinist, offer the piano-violin
sonatas.
MeSSrs. Serkin and Busch con.
tinue the sonata programs Friday
evening with the C minor opus 80,
the A major, opus IL, and the A
major, opus Al.
The great ninth symphony
comes Sunday week at 4 o'clock,
by the National Symphony and
the chorus Of 800 voices in Con-
Stitution Hall.
Ballet in the twentieth century
was the theme of the lecture given
last night in the Mayflower Hotel
by Rolf de Mare of Paris. That
one may be assured he spoke with
the voice of authority it should be
added that he is president Of the
Association Of Dance Writers and
Critics of France and creator of
the interesting and important In
ternational Archives of the Dance
in Paris.
The f1exibility of the ballet
which permitted it to adapt itself
to the present has save& it, though
somewhat tardily. Painting, sculp-
ture and music freed themselves
from tradition much sooner.
Like every modern, M. Mare
acknowledges Isadore Duncan, of
California, as the real mother of
the modern dance.

arts Of music. painting. and the

ORLEANS IN COSTLY
WAR AGAINST RATS

NEW ORR Fans, Jan. s. CUP.
This city is being freed Of rats by
ESQ modern Pied Pipcrs, using
latest scientific methods instead OF
the traditional flute.
A project designed to end for
all time the danger Of epidemics
carried by rats is being conducted
by the federal government, thru
the WPA. Ii has cost 100000 SO
far, and is expected to cost about
$3.50, 900 more. But its value to
the city from the standpoint of
health and sanitation, will run in
to millions.
Technical workers examine the
rats in the city laboratory. If
fleas are found on the rats, fur
Their tests are made. Evidences Of
disease infection such as typhus
and bubonic plague are sought.
Meanwhile, scores Of other work
ers lay traps throughout the city,
in floors, in yards, roofs, open
lots and drainage canals. Their
work is to attempt to eliminate
breeding grounds.
Still others patrol the water
front. inspecting ships, seeing that
metal rat guards are properly
around the ropes holding ships to
the wharves
The waterfront inspection al
ready has reduced by far the num-
Der of South American and Asiat:c
breeds of rats that were found
when the project started. Nearly
100000 rats have been captured
examined at the city laboratory
and later eXterminatcd.
| The project also calls for efforts
! to eradicate mosquitoes BY screen
ing and oiling stagnant water
where it cannot be eliminated by
ditching and drainage.

ly $4,000 foreigners, drawn from
~ nationalities, now are taking
part in SPANS bloody civil war.
From conflict over purely do
nestle issues, the fight has turned
into a general war, fought or
Spanish territory, over the funda.
mental issue of Fascism versus
Communism.
From neutral observers who have
spent months on one or the other
side, from British information and
from personal observations In
Spain, | estimate tina There are
nearly $4,000 foreigners with the
armies of Rebel General Francisco
Franco. They include $4,000 Ital-
ians, 10000 Germans and about
1000 Portuguese, Irish and other
nationalities. These do not take
account of the foreign legion
which, including Moors, is about
80 per cent Spanish.
On the government side. the in
ternational brigade on the Madrid
front includes about 5000 foreign
erS, mostly French, Italian anti
Fascists, German anti-Nazis, Brit,
ish, Poles. Czechs, Hungarians and
Belgians and about 10000 other
foreigners, similarly comprised, in
training behind the lines.
Francois air forces are compos'
ed roughly of 80 per cent Ger
mans, 10 per cent Italians, and
five per cent Spaniards. The gov
eminent air forces are roughly
half French and half Russian, with
a scattering of other nationalitieS,

On the other hand, they also
agree that the only thing which

Of the international bridage and
the arrival Of Russian tanks and
airplanes.
The non-intervention committee,
after four months Of discussion,
has succeeded only in setting an
all-time high in international
hypocrisy and futility.
As far as can be discerned, the
committee has not succeeded in
preventing a single man or shell
from reaching the rival Spanish
armies.
Two factors are principally re-
Sponsible for the committees fulfil
ity:
!. Whenever u seemingly prac-
teal plan has been presented for
putting teeth into the non-inter-
vention pact, Germany and Italy
have sabotaged it by linking il
with the entire question Of indirect
non-intcrvctnion such as the pre-
vention Of finacial assistance.
2. Britain, by straddling the
fence, has encouraged the inter-
ventionists.
France has been paralyzed in
the committee meetings because il
feels that it cannot act unless
Britain supports it.
1t is understood that Germany
is so secretive about it's intervcn-
ton that relatives Of regular sol
dierS who volunteered and who
were killed in Spain were notified
merely that the men "died in an
accident"
An investigator who studied re-
cruiting for the Spanish Rebel ar

consulates were directed to the
