Music Found an Aid in Treatin Q
Mentally W at St. Eizabet1,'s

Music has more than mere charm
for the mentally affected patients
of ST. Elizabeth's Hospital. It has
helped to brighten their lives, to over
come the artificiality OF their environ
ment, and to make them forget they
are deprived of their liberty.
This has been proved, it was said
today, by weekly concerts of Works
Progress Administration musicians,
who made their first visit to the in
stitution last Fall.
DR.. Samuel A. Silk. clinical direc-
tor, and Miss Mary Hagan, Red
Cross field director, discussed the
contributions of the programs toward
improving the mental attitude of the
patients.
First of ALL" said DR.. Silk, "let's
take the paranoiacs, who suffer from
delusions of one variety or another.
We cannot say that music helps them
any more than good food. But, as

MORGAN OPPOSES
ANY TAX EVASION
FinanCier Clarifies Position,
but Says Citizens Should
Not Be InsuIted.
Ey the Associated Press


NEW YORK, June IL J. P. Nor
eans views on paying taxes were
Clarified yesterday. The f1nancier is
opposed to tax dodging or tax eva
sion," but feels that taxpayers COM
plying with the law should not be
censored for not paying more than
they owe.
Returning from Europe last Mon
day, Morgan said in a chat with ship
news reporters, IF the Government
objects to tax evasion it should change
the laws, which can be done by Con-
eress, but the taxpayers must not be
tnsulted"
He then further commented: you
only do what you are compelled to do
by law, for it is never any pleasure
for any one to pay taxes You don't
do any more than you have to. 1t is
just as bad to pay too much as too
little"
His remarks received widespread
publicity. Last night Morgan said he
was surprised at the Interpretation
that some people seem to have put on
my off-hand remarks" and he issued
this formal statement:
My interview on shipboard with
newspaper men last Monday took place
before l had seen President Rose
Nelt's message on income tax evasion,
with Secretary Morgenthau's letter.
I am surprised at the Interpretation
that some people seem to have put on
my off-hand remarks, for l certainly
have no sympathy with tax dodging
or tax evasion, and had no thought
OF defending such practices.
What I feel strongly is that when
taxpayer has complied with all the
terms of the law he should not be
held up to obloquy for not having
paid more than he owed"

The Post Office Department recon-
menoed to Congress yesterday a 20
cent per half-ounce rate on first-class
mail to be carried by a new trans
Atlantic airmail service.
Congress appropriated S750,000 for
the service after learning it probably

Karl Crowley, Post Office Depart
ment solicitor, testified before the
House Post Office Committee on a bill
covering details of the airmail con-
tracts by which the Government will
subsidize the Atlantic flights.
To protect the American operators,
Chairman Mead suggested a provision
to insure that the United States would
pay no foreign carrier of airmail a
rate higher than that paid an Amer
ican carrier
Crowley said he saw no objection
TO that precaution, although he said
the Post Office Department would give
all its business to an American line If
there were not proper reciprocation.
