MARIA GREvER, Latin Ameri-
IVK. cas- poet laureate Of romantic
song, upset the musical traditions
or a score of years when early this
year she strayed from the classic
standards to write her first popular
song. She had created nearly five
hundred standard songs, many COM
posed for individual stars of the con-
Icert stage. when she evolved the
light gay number, "Ti-Pi-Tin."
Now "Ti-Pi-Tin" is to Maria
lGrever what the Prelude is to Rach-
maninoff. or the Minuet to Paderew-
ski =. an unacceptable part Of her
musical personality. She likes to
dream of the recent past when she
was hailed as composer and artist
of the concert stage, before she dis
covered that she also had the touch
of a popular songwriter. And as
iRachmaninoff emissions heaven as a
place where his Prelude never is
heard, she can picture her paradise
Jas a region not ringing with the
rhythm of "Ti-Pi-Tin."
Maria Grever never regarded I'll
Pi-Tin" as more than a passing
fancy, and reluctantly consented to
its publication early in the year,
when friends who heard 1t in her
studio pressed her to give its gay
melody and lifting lyrics to the
world of popular music lovers. Ray
lmond Leveen. A.S.C.A.P., wrote the
English lyrics.
Maria Grever's career in song has
been international. A native of
Mexico City. she was reared in
ISpain. Returning to her native
land. master of piano. violin and
guitar, she sang with a velvety
coloratura soprano. Her patrician
lfamily frowned upon her theatrical
Inspirations. Married at fourteen,
she found her husband in sympathy
with her ambitions for a career in
music. A chance recording of one
OF her first compositions, "Besame,"
kiss Me) brought her recognition.
when "Jurame," promise Me) fol-
lowed, her fame was secure. Soon
she was a reigning faYorite Of Latin
Americas concert stage, where for

twenty years she has played and
sung her own songs.
Early in the 'thirties Sonora
GreYer made New York her perma-
nent address, became an American
citizen, and by virtue of her mahy
compositions, became a prominent

Among concert artists, she is known
as a couturlere of song, for she has
composed dozens OF songs, words
and music, for such singers. One q
her early patrons was Caruso. The
others constitute a who's Who" in
music.
OF the numerous fctions follows
ing the success of "Ti-Pi-Tin," onaI
that most amuses its composer
places her in the role Of an aged.
INDECENT songwriter. The fact is,
that Sonora Grever ranks among|
the most successful of women COM
posers, and that, while she proudly
boasts three young grandchildren
who have inherited the jet hair and
flashing black eyes of their talented
grandmother, she might well be
mistaken for their mother.
So different from the usual run
of her creations is "Ti-Pi-Tin" that
in Latin America many will not be-
lieye it is her work. Yet like the
Prelude and the Minuet, apparently
it is destined to haunt its creator, a
musical Nemesis, to remind her
even if it is with swelling royalty
checks, of her m%omentary lapse.
from the classic ideals of her other
works.

Revenue Down, Morgenthou
Plans Short Term Notes

QNS,) Despite 5 per cent increase in revenues
recorded during the first Fl days Of this month from
income tax payments Secretary Morgenthau said today
the total was not up to the Governments expectation
Accordingly, the Treasury will be forced to float an
extra 100000 of short term securities to augment
its cash reserves.
Morgenthau estimated tax receipts between $780,
100000 and $50,O000O0 short of anticipation. He did
not attribute this to possible tax avoidance evasion by
large taxpayers he did year ago when receipts fell
short of calculations.
At the time, the Secretary said that in future
years the Treasury will not make public elegraphc re-
ports from internal collection offices showing
the total number of income taxes received He ex-
planned that these teegraphc reports were based largely
on hazy guesses by collection Officers
"The internal revenue agents walk around their dis
trict offices and kick the mail bags and then try and
guess how much money is in them,' he said. "After
this we will wait until have the money deposited in
the bank then publish it in the regular way the daily
Treasury statement"
By this method it will be impossible to ascertain
quarterly income tax collections for nearly month after
tax returns have been sent into the Treasury.

LOBBY PROBE

GN.S) A tentative meeting

was scheduled for today to con-
slider the latest refusal Of a mem
ber Of the National Committee to
Uphold Constitutional Govern
ment to comply with the Senate
committees subpoenas.
The meeting was called, pro-
viding it is convenient for mem
bers, to study testimony taken
during hearings, to decide on

whether DR.. Edward A. Rumely,
executive secretary Of the ma
tional committee, is to be cited for
contempt of the Senate.
Minton expressed the opinion
that Rumely was guilty Of con-
tempt Of the Senate for twice re-
fusing to comply with two sub
poenas calling for information
concerning the national commit
tees campaign against the Gov
ernment reorganization bill and
other Administration measures.
Rumely's latest refusal to COM

the tax deficiency lodged against
the estate Of the late Andrew w.
Mellon, former Secretary Of the
Treasury.
Originally, the bureau sought to
collect $3,00o.000 from Mellon for

ruled the Treasury in the majority
of its contentious and exonerated
Mellon on all charges of fraud.
The sum agreed upon today does
