Chamber Protests
Action of Union
Labor i'm Seattle
Endorse City's Protec-
tive Ordinance to Pre-
vent Labor Agitation

For some time the city council
has had under consideration the pas
sage of an ordinance to regulate la
Dor difficulties. Pending the out
come of the trial case resulting from
the anti-picketing ordinance re-
Gently passed in walla Walla, the
city has delayed local action.
AS a result of the upholding Of
the law in the courts, the chamber
of commerce has endorsed the act
ion Of the city and is urging prompt
passage of a similar regulation for
Kennewick.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the members Of the
chamber of commerce as result OF
q recent experience in Seattle by q
local businessman. The dealer in
question had made purchases in Sc
attic and was prevented by the UNI
ion group in Seattle from loading
his own property into his own truck
Police told him the employment OF
union labor would be the safest pro-
cedure. They stated they were pow
erless to help him otherwise.
Since the change in administra-
ton in Seattle it is hoped that a
different attitude viii be shown in
Seattle affairs and the secretary OF
the chamber WAS instructed to pro-
test the action above related to the
mayor-elect, the Seattle chamber o,
commerce and Governor Martin
Copies of the letters will be sent the
three leading newspapers in Seattle
in the hopes that sufficient pub.
Lefty will be given to prevent ar
outbreak of the sort experienced by
local citizens who attempted to op-
crate in Seattle during the past
year.

Benton County
Welfare Work
Given to 351 Folk
State Has No "Old Age
Pension" System; Pay
ments are Small

Recently there have been many
expressions Of intelligent commun-
ity interest in the work of the BEN
ton County Welfare Department.
OF particular interest to old folks
of this county is the fact that no
person is now receiveing an "Old
Age Pension" The term "Old Age
Pension" has been used in connec-
ton with various National and local
movements such as the Townsend
Plan. These various plans specify
that any person who reaches GER
tain age of retirement is entitled to
a pension; based on the theory that
the government owes the individual
q living" after the individual as q
certain age has retired from active
employment, writes Fern Massie,
Acting Administrator Of Benton
County Welfare Department.
Under the existing Law in
washington-"Any person in need
of assistance, 65 years OF age or
over, having resided in the State
for five out of the last 10 years and
continuously for the year immed-
lately preceding application, is
eligible for Old Age Assistance.
There has been much controversy
over the question Of what consti-
tutes need, but at present 1t must
be interpreted as need Of such
basic items as food, clothing and
shelter. It follows that II any Of
these items can be supplied through
relatives, owning own home, etc.,
that the need does not exist.
At present 351 persons in Benton
County are receiving total Of ST.
$500 monthly in Old Age Assist
ance grants. This is an average
grant Of 500. The state average is
$23.33 per month.
This article is in answer to many
questions asked regarding only one
program under the Social Security
Department. AS this explanation Is
about Old Age Assistance, the COM
munity should remember that there
are other integral parts Of the work
now carried by the Benton County
Welfare Department, including: Aid
to Blind; Child Welfare Service, i.e..
Crippled Children, Aid to Depend
ent Children, Boarding Home Ser
vice for Dependent Neglected Child
rem; general relief, W.P.A. certifi-
cation, private, T. B. and insane
disqualification.

Big Development
to be Started at
White Bluffs
Corporation to Seek
5000 Acres of Land in
Irrigation District

/. Extensive oeVelOpmeNt III GuS
Priest Rapids valley In the near fu-
ture IS foreseen by officials OF the
Priest Rapids irrigation district as
negotiations proceed with the Col
umbia River Farms, Inc, for the
sale Of over 5000 acres Of land in
the district.
Manly B. Haynes, one Of the or
eanizers Of the Hanford Irrigation
and Power company, which began
the development Of an irrigation
and power system In this valley 80
yeazs ago, and ]. K. MCDOWELL, Sc
attic attorney and builder Of the
NcDowall Building in that city, are
representing the corporation In the
transaction.
Their plans call for the large
scale production of forage crops
through the use of q sprinkler irri-
CATION system. Water for irrigation
Of this project would be furnished
both from the districts canal and
from additional pumping units to
be installed along the river.
Land included In the transaction
extends from Hanford to Wahluke,
the largest body Of it lying in the
In-B-Tween.
The transaction has not yet been
concluded, the deed to 5000 acres
Of the land having been placed In
escrow by the district awaiting the
payment Of the first installment of
the purchase price by the corpora
ton, and an option on the balance
Of the land having been given the
corporation. The time limit within
which the deal is to be consummat-
ed Is April q.
The purchase and development
OF land for farming is the wisest in
vestment that can be made at this
time" Haynes and MCDOWELL said
IN discussing their project, land the
Priest Rapids valley is the only
section In the northwest where such
an investment can be made on q
large scale.
In all other districts, all avail
able land has been put into cultiva-
aon and, too. their supplies of wa
ter are decreasing, with the cost
Of water and water rights steadily
increasing, as well as other Incl
dental costs.
Costs Of new development in
otner parts Of this country are high,
with the result that the initial cost
OF the land will be too great to sup
po0 large-scale operations.
Here In the Priest Rapids valley
win an ever abundant supply OF
water from the Columbia river, and
an equally abundant supply Of
power at Priest Rapids to put the
WAFER on the land, lies the only op-
portunity for development such as

BRAHMS, BACH
AND BEETHOVEN
PROGRAM GIVEN
DR.. Kinder, Myra Hess
Join in Recital
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Bach. Beethoven and Brahms
Hans Won Buelow'S famous three
"B's" of German music, formed
the National Symphony program,
last night in Constitution Hall.
The greatest of these three, on
this occasion. was Brahms.
DR.. Kinder chose the romantic
second symphony for this concert,
but read il for its eXuberance quite
as much as for its sentiment. He
brought the vigorous finals to a
climax that greatly excited the
public. 1t was no mere tour de
force, but a logical development
Of as fine an example of the mu-
steal pattern as any that Brahms
created. The secret of Kindler'S
success lay in the faculty to make
the music create itself not merely
In its superb symmetry, but in
its more obvious and perhaps
more important function as an
expression of feeling.
ADAGIO KEPT IN FRAME
He did not dwell upon the senti-
mental content, however. He cor
rectly evaluated the humorous in
terruptionS of the third move
ment's song, and kept the ardors
Of the adagio within the frame OF
the work as a whole. 1t became,
therefore, q fresh, happy and
wholesome Interpretation, free
from any kind of eXaggeration and
technically efficient on the part
Of the orchestra as well.
The Bach chosen was the c
Minor organ Prelude and Fugue
in the new transcription by Edgar
r. Paul of Baltimore. Himself an
organist, Mr.. Paul has enlarged
and varied the sonorities OF this
noble music without altering too
far their original character, so
that in the end, it sounds much
as it does when played on a mod
ern organ by a virtuoSo, except
that the living tone of the or
chestra gives it more impulse. 1t
Is a grateful addition to the or
Chestral repertoire.
THIRD BEETHOVEN CONCERTS
The Beethoven work was the
early third concerto for pianoforte
and orchestra, interesting because
Of it's prophesy of the fifth SYM
phony, but endowed with many
virtues of it's own. The exponent
of the solo part was Nine. Myra
Hess, English pianist of over
whelming popularity. She played
it with great enthusiasm, soften
ing some of its harsher and there
fore more characteristic moments,
dwelling with great sentiment and
much beauty of tone upon the
lyric aspects, notably Of the slow
movement, and reveling in the
lively rondo.
Her success was great and she
quite rightly insisted upon shar-
ing it with DR.. Kinder and the
orchestra, who provided her an
accompaniment that often was of
greater interest and beauty than
the solo.
