Bio Business Scared Again

M EANWHILE big business-and
1VA the country generally-was
discussing with considerable appre-
hension the declaration by the Pres
ident that industry must reduce
prices and at the same time keep
wages up. An immediate result
was the crash of prices on the stock
exchanges, the decline reaching as
high as IN points. Commodities
declined in sympathy with stocks.
eff industries reduce wages this
winter and spring." the President
said at his press conference, "they
will be deliberately encouraging the
withholding of buying-they will be
fostering a downward spiral and
they will make it necessary for
their government to consider other
means of creating purchasing pow
err" -.
Many congressman, Democrats
as well as Republicans, took issue
with Mr.. Roosevelt's logic and eco
nomics, pointing out that industries
lack the resources to keep wages up
on a falling market because their
funds have been depleted by the I'M
distributed profits tax.

Nav Split Labor Vote

N/ LILLIAN GhEEIN, preSiuent v
wv the American Federation o
Labor, threatened to split organized
labor's vote in the 1898 compression
al elections by asking for the with

labor's Non-Partisan league.

Green recommended that the fed
eration's executive council order all
affiliates to withdraw and cease
financial contributions.
Such action, it was believed, may
effectively split labor's vote in the
1888 elections, when all congress
men, 80 senators and many state
officials face reelection campaigns.
In Washington John L. Lewis de-
clared that thousands of workers
now face desperate need, and even
starvation, despite the Presidents
promise to let no willing worker
starve.
In a letter urging all affiliates of
his Committee for Industrial Or
ganization to notify congress that

Hitler's major accomplishments
were described as: Elimination OF
unemployment, abolition of Yer

Germany in position to drive Jews
out of the economic as well as So
cial and political life, suppression
of opposition political parties, and
breaking Germany's isolation by al
liances with Italy and Japan and
friendship with Yugoslavia, Poland,

Still facing the Nazi regime are
the questions of possible colonial ex-

'"The students think child prodigies
are Just as out Of place as child mar

The manners of the virtuoso are

called a young yiolinist who got up

With the discarding of the Buster
Brown collars and flowing ties, the
children have become interested in

their own swing band, which gives
swing concerts twice a year.

Mir. Richter explained. Some of

them to evaluate jazz in terms of

Damrosth Emissions
Appreciation Of Art
|By Every American
Grand Man Of Music
Urges Decentralization
TO Spread knowledge

DR.. Walter Damrosch, dean OF
American symphonic conductors
and pioneer in bringing the best
music to radio audiences, visions an
America artistically like 10Th Gen.
tury Florence or Venice.
I'm those days." he explained last
night in an interview at the May
flower, as he prepared to address
the dinner of the Music Teachers
National Association, "a Venetian
shopkeeper and a shoemaker might
go to a gallery and view a new
painting. They might argue fero-
ciously over its merits and demerits.
And they would have every right to,
because they would know as much
about art as the man who painted
it or the wealthy and educated
patrons of the arts"
Musically DR.. Damrosch foresees
United States educated to appre-
ciate the best of the past and to be
receptive to the most promising Of
contemporary compositions.
Sees Orchestra in Every Town.
To bring this about, he believes,
there should be symphony orches-
ira In every town of appreciable
size. Such an orchestra, of 40 to As
musicians, probably would be partly
amateur, partly professional at first,
he explained, and gradually would
acquire a completely professional

status. It would be supported in
part by the Federal bureau of fine
arts, which he proposes in legisla-
ton to be pushed at the impending
session Of Congress, and partly by
local and State funds.
Despite the rapid increase Of mu-
sical appreciation in recent years,
which DR.. Damrosch attributed
largely to the radio, he estimated
that still only 11a per cent Of the
population had any real grasp Of
the arts.
He would spread over the land,
not only music but painting and
sculpture, with arrangements made
for the Metropolitan Museum Of
Art and other important galleries
to send. their best paintings and
statuary on tours that would include
the most remote sections.
Would Decentralize Art.
Art, he contended, should be de-
centralized - not concentrated In
New York, Chicago and a few other
populous centers.
He wants to see the Government
sponsor the arts, not through q
Federal theater in Washington or 8
Government opera house in New
York, but by lending encouragement
to its mission throughout the States.
II won't live to see It," he said
wistfully, but 1t will come"
Art, he believes, is a natural ex-
preston Of the simple beauty In
nature. He cited the Island Of Ball.
There" he said, "the natives
lived simple. happy lives until the
tourist traffic began to corrupt them.
They dined on their handfuls OF rice
and they gave over their evenings to
music and dancing"

has written many compositions. some
Of which, like the musical setting to
Kipling's Danny Deever," have
found permanent place on concert
programs. And he has educated, In
technique and in the listeners ap-
probation, whole generations Of
Americans.
"The radio has done . lot for
music" he said. 1T has enabled
millions to listen to the best orches-
tras. where only . few thousands
could listen before"
And he spoke warmly Of his chill
dren's hours on the radio-the time
he has give.1 over 70 teaching young
Americans how q bassoon sounds
and what sort Of note an English
horn makes, the role Of each instru-
ment, and, far more important, the
beauty and the mission Of music.

There's a school full Of gifted chill
dren in New York who don't want
to be Bobby Breens or Deanna Dur
bins. They frown on Shirley Temple
and put ban on words like child
prodigy" and genius" They just
want to be normal youngsters.
The school was described yester-
day at the Music Teachers National
Association convention by Alexander
Richter, chairman Of its Department
of Music.
The school, founded by Mayor La
Guardia's Municipal Art Committee
in 1886, is known as the High School
of Music and Art. It's pupils are
selected twice year from the gradu-
ating classes of elementary schools
and 300 are admitted after examina-
ton.
Children, who in general high
schools would be put on pedestals
and acclaimed for their ability as
artists or musicians, find themselves
here in a democracy of talent,
There's nothing to be snobbish about
since their fellow students are about
equally gifted.
Learn to Like Music.
In an interview after his talk, Mr.
Richter said many of the youngsters
are just beginning to like music
Ever since they were toddlers, they
had been forced to practice. They
had always had a feeling of being
different from the other children.
At the school. they become &C.
quainted with the different aspects
OF music. If they play the piano
they are required to study an orches-
tral instrument, and vice-versa.
But all their studies aren't devoted
to the thing in which they excel
They must study academic subjects
Incidentally, the school rates seconc
highest in the city scholastically. It's
attendance record is first in New
York, though many of the pupils
must spend more than an hour or
the subway to get to school.
They learn naturally to abstain
from premature self f-exploited anc
egocentric display" Many OF then
could go on the concert stage, thu
