plicated system Of balloting which per.
mits the voters to cast hrst and second
choice votes when there are more than
two candidates for some offices. Under
the States county unit system Of voting.
that means that an election IL decided
by 4 convention Of elected delegates II
no candidate receives q clear ayority
Of the unit votes.
The delegates, Of course, must vote
for the hrst choice candidate. and then.
If none has majority. the lowest candi-
date il dropped and his delegates must
vote for the second choice on their
ballots. Two convention ballots in the
Maryland contest will result in the drop
ping Of Mr.. sasscer and William 3.
Gordy, jr, = fourth candidate. leaving
Mayor Howard w. Jackson Of Balti-
more and Attorney General Herbert r.
O'Conor tied with seventy-one votes
each, according to present Indications.
In that situation the seven votes Of
the delegates from Prince Georges
County will decide the election. It ap-
pears, however. that Mr.. oordy was the
second choice in that county. and when
he is dropped from the convention
balloting the seven delegates will be
released and free to choose between Mr..
oConor and Mayor Jackson, or, ap-
parently. q third party.
That, in the opinion of most observers,
means that Mr. sasscer will make the
hnal decision, since the Prince Georges
delegates are connected with the politi-
cal faction he heads. In other words,
the defeated candidate will be in 4 posi-
ton to name the winner or deadlock the
convention.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES r. TRAcENBLL.

into it something which 1t, alone. u

Any one. therefore. who values this
hesitate to argue In relation to 1t, even
IN 10 petty q form as strictly informal
remarks between friends.

Music Is, above all. emotion.
In such matters there In really no
ground for argument, any, more than
In matters Of taste, which, after al, are
mostly emotional.
that many persons like to argue over
nothing SO much as their likes and dis
likes. 1t is all wasted time. but the
natural thing to do. evidently; when it
gets into the subject Of musical likes
and dislikes. 1t is far worse, for 1t violates
not only its universally, which ought
TO be inviolate, but 1t causes loss to all
who indulge in 1t.
Music is emotion, and when We begin
to grow red in the face over the right
of some other person to love Swing"
music we are In great danger of COM
pounding emotion.
This Is the plain reaction. tending to
make . musical bigot where before was
Just . plain music lover.
The title of music lover Is no little
one, and nobody can deserve it who
selects narrow list Of forms or types
Of music and holds them up ~ not only
perfection. but beyond which nothing
can be worth listening to.
How does he know?
He doesn't, Of course. One of Great
Britain's greatest musicians has cast
well-deserved doubt on such persons a
proclaim that no other music except
the great symphonies Is worth listening
to.
Such listeners he calls lazy, because
they have drugged themselves into q
belief which puts them in q state Of
hypnosis, thereby enabling them to listen
to music without putting themselves into
1t in any way.
They listen to the same music year
after year, fancying themselves superior,
when all the time they are using neither
intelligence nor emotion. Now both Of
these have their part to play in certain
types of music; because music Is Basic
ally emotional does not mean that GER
tain sorts Of music must not be intel
lectual, too.
4
Because most music Is emotional, at
bottom, 1t will mean nothing to those
who do not get that emotion out Of 1t.
II they do not, they should let it alone.
and not grow red in the face over 1t
just because they cannot get" it. The
waltz once was damned as indecent
but today we know the great works of
Strauss and Waldteufel IS delightful
music, nothing more.
II we no longer get "het up" over the
supposed wickedness of the waltz, why
did the peoples of Strauss time do so7
The answer is easy: They thought
music WAS something to argue about,
rather than listen to; they put the thing
the wrong way around. and 50 fell into
disputation, instead of listening.
II we do not or cannot, like q certain
sort of music. let US turn away from 1t
to the sorts We do like. and spend no
time in arguing against it.

The Navy Yard.

The great expansion program Of the
United States Navy, which has been
going forward at top speed against the
day when the defenses of reason may
break down and the Nation be forced
to protect itself behind the bulwark of
an efncient fleet, is giving Washington's
only heavy industry 4 boom.
BY the end of the year work will be
under way on new buildings and equip
ment at the Navy Yard, which will call
for an expenditure of more than two
and = quarter million dollars, the major
portion Of 1t going for the construction
Of modern gun assembly plant. At
Alexandra, also under the Jurisdiction Of
the Washington yard, more than two
and half million dollars is to be spent
in restoring to full production capacity
the torpedo plant Of World War days.
Aside from the importance of the pro-
gram to the national security, 1t brings,
in smaller way. measure Of prosperity
to the National Capital. Building con-
struction and 4 high production sched-
ule at the Nays plants in and near
Washington mean work for large num-
ber of highly paid artisans and me-
chanics. Its benefits are widespread in
the city. For large proportion Of
the five million dollars for construction
will be spent eventually in or near WASH
ington. And when the operations are
completed and elephants are put into
production other large sums will con-
tinue to how into the city.
The building program is vital to the
building up of the fleets, providing as
it does greater productivity for the
Nays only gun factory. And it is i'm
portant to the well-being Of the Ma
tional Capital.

Music ID something to listen to. not
argue about. It Ia because 20 many
persons forget this that We hear 50
much pro and con about swing music.
At all times In the world there II q
great deal more music than any one
listener can hear. This was always true,
and 1t II more true today than ever.
with the universality of the radio. and
the spread Of school orchestras.
The world Is filled with music. Even
the roar OF guns might be said to be
music Of q sort. Sensitive ears catch
melodies in street noises. the hum Of
wires, noises OF vehicles. and the disap-
pearing cries Of venders.
Music Is meant to be listened to, not
argued about; II the hearer will keep
this In mind, he will do more listening
and less taking sides In regard to things
musical.
Just as music Is the universal Ian
guage, 80 1t brings home to Its devotees
the simple fact that there Is no real
need for taking sides.
II you do not like q certain kind Of
music. do not listen to it. Do not patron
ize 1t. Leave 1t alone for those who do
need 1t.
This would be . wholesome attitude.
II It could be applied in all the walks
of life, but quite evidently 1t cannot.
More than Just letting alone" Is nee
sary, man being built mentally the way
he is.
Only in music, It would seem, have
We the right to let alone without incur
ring the displeasure Of some one else.
~ ~
The great symphony. the hillbilly
ballad, the Hawaiian hula, the hymn,
the art song, the harp solo, the Bali
gamelon-
These are few Of the forms Of music.
In addition, there are such forms as the
string quartet. the string and piano
quintet, the Spanish gypsy melodies,
the preludes Of Debussy, the trio sonatas
of Bach. the great masses, the many
kinds Of instrumental dances
All these touch only certain forms.
There are many others, some instru-
mental. some vocal, all having to do
with some phase OF the life Of the peoples
Of the earth.
The modern photograph Is partic-
ularly useful in breaking up any musical
provincialism which the owner may
possess. It enables him to get records
Of exotic music which otherwise he
would never hear.
The further he pursues his studies
along this line, the surer he becomes
that argument. after all, In relation to
any music, misses the mark much further
than disputation in any other so-calied
walk of life.
Differentiation must be made between
argument and discussion.
There are few activities Of man which
merit honest talk more than music. It
seems strange, therefore. that 80 many
persons distort this into argument,
"argufying." Of which the most common
example today is the widespread fight
about swing"
The moment one takes sides, for or
against, any type OF music, or any sort
of playing, he is stepping down from the
universal attitude of tolerance which
makes music great, and Is introducing

swaying gently along the footpaths be-
tween the ponds, with frame Of long
branched willow trees silhouetted against
the light. there are few hghts In the
United States with which the gardens
can be compared.
Now these gardens have been pur-
chased for the Nations Capital. They
will be added to an already magnificent
park system as an eventual unit in the
Anacostia project. The location u espe.
cially fortunate, lying as It does almost
directly across the river from the site
Of the National Arboretum.
Hundreds of thousands have gasped at
their first glimpse Of the magnificent
beauty Of the garden which was built up
over q period Of half . century by an
imaginative veteran Of the Civil War.
Walter B. Shaw spent the free hours Of
most Of his lifetime In developing what
began as = hobby to make . valueless
tract Of swampland an attractive adjunct
to his little farm. After his days work
as Government employs he planted,
planned and experimental. He collected
rare water plants from the ends Of the
earth. He developed many new varieties.
The gardens expanded from one small
pond to more than score. In recent
years the work has been carried on by
his daughter. Throughout the period Of
development the beauty of the gardens
was enhanced. Expansion meant only
greater charm and from almost every
angle the area offers colors and compost
ton which delight the heart of an artist.
The movement for the acquisition of
the lily gardens for q public park began
fourteen years ago. The elimination
of the purchase means = great deal to

Replies TO Communist
Party Defense.
To tha Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
WITH rising ire perused the letter
w written by Martin Chancey, secre-
tary. Communist party, in this evenings
edition of The Star. and for the frst
time in my many years decided to write
. letter to the editor"
Mr.. Chancey quoted the preamble Of
the constitution Of the Communist party,
pointing out that the Communist party
Of the U. s. A. is working class poll
tical party carrying forward today the
traditions of Jefferson, Paine, Jackson
and Lincoln, etc."
First of all, permit me to point out
that Mr.. Chancey knows and every we'll
informed person knows that Communism
is not political philosophy but . social
philosophy world wide in character, dedi-
Gated to the overthrow of capitalism
through revolution, and the substitution
of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Mr.. Chancey likewise knows, unless
he be grossly ignorant Of the aims Of his
party (and few Communists are), that
the preamble which he quotes was FORM
ulated at the last convention Of the
Communist party In America, dictated

munist leaders, with headquarters in
Moscow. for the one purpose Of further
cloaking their activities in America by
hiding behind the principles Of persons
long dead, therefore unable to refute the
implied relationship. 1t Is known by
those of US who have followed the acttvi-.
ties of the Communists, especially in
recent years. that this is not the first
time that they have completely reversed
their policies in order to At into the
American situation. ...
Communism Is not goth century Amer
icanism, 5'it Is not the; solution of our
economic problems, and 1t Is the duty
OF all Americans to bestir themselves
in an honest and sincere endeavor to
rid the country Of those who would lead
us into a situation equaled only by
FAscism and Na1 ism.
Perhaps the Communist party can
furnish the reason why Messrs. Browder
and Foster found it necessary to spend
30 many years in Russia in order to
formulate . platform Of adherence to
the principles Of Jackson, Paine, Lincoln
and others Of our forefathers, and they
