Dear Washington
By Helen ESSary

Mrs. Roosevelt by way Of the reflecting mirror,
added:
I'D just thought I'd tell you because you need
to do something about the music in this town.
You fix up so many other things"
Mrs. Roosevelt said she would see what she
could do, but she hadn't had her breakfast.
A CleUer Biography
THAT clever stock broker, Frank Morse, who has
just published the most entertaining biography
of the year. Back Stage With Henry Miller" was
once a newspaperman. To be specific, he was
working away as dramatic critic on this very
Washington Times when he wrote history-mak-
ing review of Henry Miller's play. "The Great
Divide" Other critics said the new show was
failure. Young Mr. Morse predicted that it would
be 'the great American play"
And so it has been. No characteristic drama of
this endless country has yet surpassed it.
THE Great Divide" was the beginning OF
long friendship between the young writer and Mr.
Miller. Mr.. Morse's "reminiscences tell IN an ao-
sorbingly good tale what he learned about the
stage and its people from association with the
actor.producer The theater, its personalities, its
sorrows and successes, its reputation making and
breaking come to life under his alert companion
able story telling. Big Names of the past twenty
five years on Broadway become real people,
struggling rejoicing, laughing and crying
Mr.. Morse in addition to the versatile qualities
already mentioned, could also qualify as un cor
don bleu cook. Indeed he is now threatening to
bring out a cook book of his own personal ex-
periences with filet mignon, sauces, salads and
souffles.

and in the same manner you and use when we
meet somebody we haven't seen for long time,
said:
"Nrrs. Roosevelt, There's something I've been
wanting to talk to you about. you ought to get
this city a Civic Symphony. Every big town but
ours has one You see a Civic Symphony wouldn't
only be pleasure to the population but 1t wouio
help lots of people find out if they had any real
musical talent"
Mrs. Roosevelt nodded sympathetically.
"Id Of liked continued the taxi driver, to
play in an orchestra myself. And if there had
been some sort Of musical training school here
free to people like me, wouldn't be spending my
days and nights now running people half way
around the world for 20 cents"
The light changed to green. The taxi leaped
ahead. But the driver, keeping his eye fixed on

JUDGES AssALED


Several members Of the commit
tee then charged local judges with
improper use of their discretionary
powers in sentencing criminals.
Representative william T.
Schult CD Of Indiana cited an
instance to the committee In
which a group of holdup men,
convicted for third offense of rob-
berry, were placed on probation.
This committee should call in
the judges for this kind OF. JUS
tice," Schultz declared.
II am frank to say" Nichols
interpolated, that am not so
sure I am so willing to leave in
the bosom of the court very
broad discretionary powers"
He referred to the case cited by
Mr.. Schultz and to another case
in which a man, with q family,
convicted of intoxication, was SEN
fenced to six months in Jail.
"This does not build UP in me
any high-flung confidence in the
unerring Judgment Of the court"
NO NEED, CLAIM .
At that point Representative
Schultz stated that if the judges
were on the job and on their
toes" there would be no need of
enactment of the bill to curb the
numbers racket, now under consid'
Grafton by the committee.
Representative George j. Bates
(R.) of Massachusetts, then de-
clared that apparently there is
improper cooperation between
the police and the bench"
Somebody on the BENCH" he
said, lis evidently taking his
duties lightly. Perhaps we would
do we'll to call an investigation
of the judges"
The discussion of the diSposi-
ton of cases by local judges arose
during the testimony Of Major
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
of police, who earlier said that
the police faced considerable diff.
ficulty in breaking up the mum
bers game.
He told the committee that the
numbers game was "the source
of considerable evil and at the
bottom of local crime conditions, II
and asked for enactment Of the
pending measure as a material
aid" in enforcement Of the gaming
laws here.
