Robot planes. controlled entirely by

Wisdom Prevails.

Congress returns to work now on con-
structive legislation with one grave
menace to domestic tranquility and
American peace removed with the killing
OF the Ludlow war referendum PROPOSAL.
1t Is fortunate that the Roosevelt ad-
mlnistration by promptly unlimbering
Its oratorical heavy artillery and with
the support of its customary foes was
able to prevent extended consideration
OF a plan to divide the control of Ameri.
can foreign relations.
There is substance for thought, how
ever, in the narrow margin by which the
motion to discharge the Rules Commit
tee-an astute move by Mr. Ludlow-was
beaten, and by an unusually large num-
Der OF Representatives voting. Eleven
votes decided the issue with 397 MEM
oers OF the House balloting.
The conclusion to be drawn is not only
that Congress is keenly alive to the
issue of peace, but also that a large
number-although a minority-want
some discussion of that question in Con-
gress at this moment. The heavy vote
Tor the motion to consider was less an
index of support for war referendum
than 1t was Of the desire for discussion
OF immediate means to fortify peace.
Further evidence Of this sentiment Is
found In the number of bills introduced
IN the present Congress dealing with
amendment of the neutrality act, def
milton OF aggressors, economic sane
tions and respect for treaties.
But the agitation over Mr.. Ludlow,s
plan was not all in vain, even if it did
cast = momentary pail over the prestige
OF the United States abroad. The united
response Of Democratic and Republican
leaders alike to Mr.. Roosevelt's appeal
against the proposed amendment served
notice on the world-and chiefly would
be aggressors-that this country may be
hopelessly rent on domestic issues and
still present a solid front with the
President, whoever he may be, in in
ternational affairs.
The idealism of the Ludlow plan, that
those who die and suffer in war should
decide on that war, is unimpeachable,
but practical soundness was woefully
absent in its failure to recognize the
anarchy of relations between nations
and the position Of the United States
amid that chaos.
Common sense has prevailed. Con-
gress may now face Americas peace
problem free from diverting excursion
into the realm of idealism.

OverOrganization.

Those who view with alarm the pres
ent state of the Nation and would dis
cover the cause may find the theory of
REORGANIZATION is worthy Of attention.
When the Colonists braved the Atlantic
to seek freedom in q New World it il
strongly suspected one Of the principal
varieties Of freedom they craved was the
privilege of forming and joining as many
new organizations as they pleased. How
well they succeeded is evidenced by the
fact that the obituaries Of all "promi-
nent" persons today contain long lists
of the organizations to which they
belong.
And the worst of it is that almost every
days newspaper contains accounts of
still more organizations being formed.
One Of the latest proposed is q society
for the prevention of cruelty to people. /"
The proposal apparently is the New Year
dream Of State legislator and in no
way connected with the long -esta ablished
AAN "oAIAly O. Z. -. n. Inc sponsor
says the S. p. c. p. would do works OF
kindness and charity" and render assist
ance from direct and neighborly stand
point.
With thousands of churches, fraternal,
civic and welfare groups already doing
much the same thing, the need for an
additional society of that sort is ques-
tionable. The aim undoubtedly Is worthy
enough. But even admitting the chronic
undersupply Of the milk OF human
kindness" is 1t not true after all that
dispensing kindness and preventing hu-
man cruelty is basically an individual
function?

Congress last year on a platform calling
for repeal of law a day. He probably
can be promoted" to the Senate in the
next election if he makes his slogan In

fore the President of the United States
announced my mission to the govern

Mr.. Roosevelt delivered his annual mes
sage to Congress. Because of present
facts and future hazards the President
devoted the entire preamble of his re-
port on the state of the Union to the
United States view Of the acts and poll
cies OF. nations in other parts of the
world. He reminded Congress that we
live in a world of high tension and dis
order, a world where stable civilization
is actually threatened He pointed out

servance both of the letter and the
spirit of treaties He explained that

treaty obligations, we cannot be certain

president Roosevelt then used Ian
guage which most Americans feel was
directed at Germany, Italy and Japan.
1t may not be inappropriate for me to
reproduce 1t, for, If am not mistaken.
1t did not receive general publicity in
this country. The President observed
that disregard for treaty obligations
seems to have followed the surface trend
away from the democratic representa-
tive form Of government. 1t would seem.
therefore, that world peace through in.
ternational agreements is most safe in
the hands Of democratic representative
governments-or, in other words, peace
is most greatly jeopardized in and by
those nations where democracy has been
discarded or has never developed
Finally, our President INDUCED in a
hope. He voiced confidence that over
the years, democracies will survive. and
that democracy will be restored or es-
tablished in those nations which today
know 1t not. In that faith lies the fu-
ture peace Of mankind It is in that
spirit that it becomes my privilege, as

States to the Third Reich, to embark
upon this high mission Of amity and

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. TRACEWELL.

Those who love this form Of music
will bless his name for that.
He Is said to have axed the four
movement form by incorporating the
minuet Qater changed by Beethoven to
the scherzo) and especially by building
up the "working-out" section Of the first
movement in sonata or symphony.
The lay reader must not confuse the
word sonata" with the term "sonata
FORM"
A sonata is simply . sound piece" !"
to distinguish It from cantata, or sing
ing piece.
Sonata form is-something, a. the
young people might sayl
It means the way the first Of the
usual four sections Of 4 symphony or
sonata Is worked out.
The great masters elaborated and per-
fected the form, but the oldsters eH-
IDENTIFY had something to do with 1t, too.
1t has statement. restatement and .
great deal more. That Is why q SYM
phony, rs We know 1t today, Is not Just
q big noise, as the wholly unframed
listener may think, but is q planned
art work. in which definite rules are
followed.
A symphony is, in other words, think
Ing in musical terms.
It is emotion in motion.
That is why even the musician cannot
hear too much symphony music.
1t would tear him to pieces.
That Is why the average listener
should not listen to symphonic music
to the exclusion Of the lighter FORMS
He risks not only his musical health,
but his physical and mental health as
well, for emotions are powerful, and too
much Of even the good ones is not good.
4 4 -
As music is a universal language, It
also is q common, shared thought proc
ess Of mankind.
If we insist on knowing its meaning"
however, We run a great risk, for the
usual meaning Of meaning" Is what is
meant" and that signifies, to most of
US, logical processes Of thought.
The thought of music is not logical,
In the usual sense, but wholly emotional
Has laughing meaning, or getting
angry meaning?
OF course-but not in the same way
that . reasoned piece Of writing has.
AS long as we insist on trying to
put a meaning, in the usual sense, into
the music We hear, We will miss its
real, or emotional, content.
The plain fact that music is loud or
soft. fast or slow, gay or gloomy. ought
to have told all people all along where
the real meaning lies.
X
Music teaches US not to be ashamed
of our emotions. but to keep them under
control. by making them work accord
Ing to strict rule
The rules Of music are among its most
beautiful features.
An age which knows no rules, or
knowns them only to sneer at them and
break them. Is q degenerate age.
One Of the lesser glories of the musical
art Is that, while it is emotional think.
Ing, 1t Is done according to the rules.
Such masters as Beethoven and, no
doubt. Johann and Karl stamitz, broke
the rules only in few instances It
is because their music is responsive to
the rule OF law that it lives today.

To the Editor Of The Star:
For the past two years the Community
Chest fund has failed to reach the
amount set and it appears that the
deficit has been placed to the account
of the local hospitals.
As q remedy for this situation I sug-
gest that each subscriber, in sending his
remittance, make out ut least two
checks, one payable to the account Of
hospital. In this way they will soon be
out Of the red.

Why Is 1t Not T,oca1p

DISCUSSION at yesterdays opening
meeting Of the House subcommittee on
District taxes included the adyisabilitv
OF dropping the gross receipts tax. Mr..
Dirksen OF Illinois suggested that Con-
gress should move slowly In discardine
this tax because of what other iurisdtc-
tions might think of it. 1T has in It
much more than merely a local cues.
tion," Mr.. Dirksen said.
Why is it more than a local question?
In legislating for the District of Colum.
bia, cannot the members of CONGRESS
forget their own voting constituents
long enough to act for the best interests
OF their voteless constituents who live
IN the District? Must every question
affecting the people of the District of
Columbia be judged from the point of
view of what everybody but the people of
the District of Columbia think about it?
Perhaps there is merit in the sugges-
ton by Representative Nichols that the
business privilege tax be retained, but
modified or amended to rid it of the
inequities which have brought such criti-
cism from local taxpayers. But before
deciding this, the subcommittee should
hear from those who pay the business
privilege tax and are opposed to it. And
their views, not the possible views of the
voters who have sent Mr.. Dirksen and
his colleagues to Congress, should de-
eide the matter.
In legislating for the District of Co.
lumbia Congress becomes, In effect, a
local legislature. It's members should
meet their responsibility by seeking to
carry out the wishes Of the residents Of
the District-not the conflicting theories
of the constituencies which are not
affected.
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Dirksen will
not find in the whole catalogue Of tax
plans in the States another gross re-
ceipts tax like the one in operation
here. He will find that healthy ma.
jority of the States, their sources Of
taxation diminished by adversely or Fed
eral duplication Of taxes, have adopted,
to their own satisfaction, retail sales
taxes.

One Of the smaller recording COM
panies has done music q good service
by putting out two discs bearing q com.
position by Karl etamitz.
Unless the music lover Is q browser
through Groves famous set Of books,
or through the Encyclopedia Brittanica,
he is not likely to know much about
Stamitz.
Yet this mans father, Johann, Il
credited by the latter work with being
the man who not only put the clarinet
in the orchestra, but with having . great
as we know it today.
In the eighteenth century the German
city of Mannheim was one Of the chief
musical centers Of all Europe.
Such famous men as Mozart and
Beethoven, and such cities as Vienna
and Berlin. were all to come, and to
build on the work Of the members Of the
Mannheim school, of which the elder
and younger stamitz were leaders.
Karl Stamitz Is said to have left at
least 10 symphonies. not one of which
has been heard performed by living
ears.
Yet he was born in l74e, not 40 long
ago. judged by the annals Of recorded
history.
Recorded history-recorded music
they have much in common, when they
bring back to us the worthy men Of the
past.
Just a little over 200 years ago, but
the work these two men did has been
practically overlooked, and their names
even forgotten.
Those who love music today are inclined
at times to feel that such great figures
as Beethoven, let us say, somehow
sprang out Of thin air. We know they
must have built musically on some one.
or many someone's, but we believe that
nothing done before them could have
amounted to much.
No doubt we are wrong in this belief.
Music. IS we know it today-and the
modernists have not succeeded as vet
In changing 1t for most OF us-is 4
continuing structure.
1t came from some place, and it Is
going somewhere.
The listener today is privileged rs
never before. Not only has civilization.
harassed by wars and warnings Of wars,
the greatest orchestras of all time. but
1t possesses the accumulated music Of
the ages.
AS listeners We must not make the
mistake of thinking that there were no
other musicians or composers than the
ones generally known to all lovers of
the art.
Such men as Johann and Karl
stamitz gave great deal to the modern
orchestra, just as old organists, such as
Landino. in the l4th century, and
Hofhaimer In the 18th. did something
for Johann Bach and his sons.
4
There were organists, evidently, be-
fore Bach!
And good orchestras before Toscanini
ever led one!
Johann Stamitz is said by the ex-
perts to be the real pioneer Of the
modern symphony.
