Katz Charges Evasion
Of Wage Law Here

Washington returned to work
today after the annual observance
Of Labor Day-the day that marks
the official end Of the summer
season.
Perfect weather greeted visitors
who packed every train, plane, bus
and boat coming into the Capital.
The temperature reached "a de-
grees, but the heat was tempered
by cooling breeze.
More than As 900 persons visited
the Zoo, while other thousands
picnicked in Rock Greek Park.
Every resort in the vicinity re-
ported capacity reservations for
the weekend.
PLEA FOR SUFFRAGE
The day, which passed quietly
here, saw an appeal by organized
labor for suffrage in the District,
as well as adequate welfare funds
here and a new tax program.
Speaking over the radio, Sidney
R. Katz, secretary-treasurer of the
CIO for Maryland and the Dis
trict, said:
"The CIO in the District of
Columbia is very much aware of
the need of establishing in
Washington form of demo
cratic local self government, in
which those who are governed
have a choice as to how they are
governed"
Katz praised the minimum wage
law for women in the District, but
charged there have been efforts to
evade the law and urged that 1t
be stringently enforced.
He also branded as inadequate
the amount Of money paid those
on relief and urged relief be ex-
tended to all those in need.
URGES LABOR PEACE
In another radio address here,
broadcast to the nation, Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins urged
that the feud between the CIO
and the AFL be ended, and warned
that unless there is peace the
workers will suffer in the long
run.
At Gaithersburg, Md, there was
. big outing held by Maryland
and Virginia volunteer firemen.
Oxon Hill and Hyattsville also
held big celebrations.
Outings were held in Rock
Greek Park by the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans and the United

BLASTS FATAL.
TO 2-PROBED

DEEPWATER, N. j., Jan "a
G.N.S0-In a tumble Of twisted
steel and concrete, investigators
today sought the answer to a series
of 10 explosions which wrecked
an E. I. du Pont de Nemours
building, killed two men, seriously
injured a third and shattered
windows five miles away.
Death toll night have been
higher had not the night shift OF
workers, after reporting a gas
odor, taken an earlier lunch hour
to permit repairmen to conduct
their check up. The result was
that none Of the plant employees
were in the building when the
first explosion came followed by
nine others at approximately
minute intervals early yesterday
Blue-green flames fed by chem
icals, shot high into the air and
could be seen for miles around
The blasts were felt 20 miles away
and in Pennsgrove, five miles
away, plate glass windows
crumpled.
Property loss was tentatively
estimated at $4,000.

NOE IN HOSPITAL.
AS FORCE ENDS.
HIS 22-DAY FAST.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. "a
Q.N.S) His 22-day fast broken
by force, the Rev. Israel Harding
Noe was under treatment today at
the Baptist Hospital here.
Although at first reported in q
critical condition from his vain
attempt to achieve immortality Of
the flesh, it was later said he had
rallied amazingly.
Friends shielded the ousted
dean of st. Mary's Episcopal
Cathedral, and hospital attaches
refused to comment on whether
his voluntary abstinence of food
and water had impaired his
health to the danger point.
He collapsed at the deanery
last evening and was in a coma
when rushed to the hospital. 1t
was stated at first that he had
little chance for recovery.
A close friend, however, was
later admitted to the hospital
room and reported the Rev. Noe
did not appear in a critical state
and spoke nationally to him.
The exact nature of the medi.
cal treatement to rebuild his
strength was not revealed, but the
family, it was learned, had au.
thorized physicians to disregard
the mans feeble protests and feed
him intravenously.
Rev. Noe appeared near the
breaking point yesterday when he
attended the church from which
he had been removed midway In
his ascetic desire to prove nourish-
ment immaterial to life.
Wan and gaunt, he listened
gravely to the Rev. Royden Keith

nantly serious, he persuaded a
&C dly audience of his authority
and fine poetic insight.
POETIC SYMPHONY
He chose the Chausson B flat
symphony, a work so entirely in
the mood and manner Of Cesar
Franck that it sounds almost like
the teachers second rather than
the pupils first. 1t is grave, some
what aloof music, more poetic
than heroic, with a strong ecclesi
astic suggestion in the finale. Sir
Ernest gave it a reading that
stressed the poetic elements. These
are many and of the greatest
beauty. Thanks to the response
of the orchestra members, the
conductor seemed to be able tc
project all his intentions with q
minimum of effort.
He enlarged upon this impres
sion with his account of a quaint
and charming poem by Delius en-
titled "On Hearing the First
The Washington times., 1938-01-24

Cukoo in Spring" This is an au
thentic piec eof British impression
ism spiritually akin to the French
manifestations but with striking
differences in idiom. Sir Ernest
made 1t a delightful study in
mezzo tints.
TWO LOVELY PRELUDES
The two choral preludes of Bach
in transcription of Sir Ernest
showed still another side of his
talent, a congenial one since he
treated these important pieces
not as opportunities for orchestral
showmanship but as fine exam,
piles of religious feeling beauti.
fully and Skillfully restated.
Ruth Posselt was the soloist OF
the afternoon. She, too, is a new
conner in Washington, though a
frequent guest with other Amer
ican and European orchestras
She is one Of the best of contem
porary violinists, though native
of Massachusetts, instead oi
Moravia or some other remote
and artistic cline.
Young, fresh and eager, as at
tractive to the eye as to the ear
she submitted an account of the
Dvorak violin concerto that was
technically impeccable and music
ally as exciting as the composer
permitted. It is not the most eff.
fective Of violin concerti. Until
the stunts of the last movement
arrive it's just another page OF
nineteenth century sentiment
more difficult than important. =.
SUCCESS DEFINITE
Miss Posselt extracted the last
element Of display from this divi.
sion, having made an exhibition

in the preceding movements that
'prejudiced the audience in her
favor. her success was definite
It would be a pleasure to hear her
again in recital.

EARLY PASSAGE
OF HOUSING BILL
NOW FORESEEN
Amended Measure to
Give Break to All
By THEODORE HUNTLEY

: ny IhEODOhE HUN AAGA
Renters and home owners are
about to get a break.
Long-promised reductions in IN
terest rates as we'll as lower costs
are Just around the corner.
They will come with the enact
ment of the new housing bill, fol'
lowing the elimination by House
and Senate conferees of its one big
controversial provision-the pre-
vailing wage amendment written
into it through the connivance of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. jr.,
and Republican Leader Charles L.
McNary of oregon at the behest of
the American Federation of Labor.
THREATENED COLLAPSE
For a time this amendment
threatened to wreck it. There will
still be fight, as it looks now,
over the prevailing wage provision,
designed to force builders to pay
union wages. But the amendment
Is out, and it will be a miracle If it
gets back in.
It was knocked out in conference
when the conferees became con-
vinced that it would not only
penalize the lending institutions
rather than the builders, but end
all hope of the housing boom on
which President Roosevelt and
business interests have counted to
combat the current recession.
AS the legislation stands, it has
these merits:
/. For the next four years
home buyers or builders will be
able to borrow up to 80 per cent
of the appraised value of prop
critics valued at not more than
$4,000, and between 80 and 80
per cent on homes costing from
$4,000 to $4,000, on Govern
ment-insured mortgage, to be
amortized over a period of 20
years. Until July /, 1889. the
Government will insure home
mortgages running Is years.

rates will have ceiling of per
cent instead of 6 per cent, ex-
cept in the Far West, and in
stead of premium and service
charge of per cent or more on
top of that, there will be a
premium charge of not more
than "a of l per cent and per.
haps less.
BOON TO LABOR
On top of all this, the new bill
is expected by its sponsors and by
housing authorities familiar with
its provisions to prove a boon to
labor, to builders and to mortgage
investment companies.
AS a byproduct of special in.
terest to Washington, it will inject
new life into the Federal Housing
Administration and make that
New Deal agency more important
than ever in the governmental
scheme.
Under the new law the .oppor-
tunities for investment in and by
such associations are made more
attractive, and it is hoped that
private capital again will be in.
duced to come into this field, to
finance the construction of dwell
ings costing more than $4,000, or

Government hopes to assist in
having built under the FILA in
