The State Department was
warned today that if it wishes to
succeed in binding the United States
and Latin America closer by inter-
change of music, it must pay little
less attention to symphony and
considerably more to f1ddlers who
can play "Old zit Coon" hymn
singers who can chant Rock of
Ages" and swing music that comes
out Of New York's night spots.
Carleton Sprague Smith. chief of
the music division of the New York
Public Library. expressed this
opinion at Conference on Inter
American Relations in the Field of
Music, sponsored by the State De-
partment's Division of Cultural Re-
lations. Today's session was held in
the Library of Congress with Laur-
ence Duggan, chief of the division
of American republics of the State
Department, presiding.
Along Line of Foster.
when we Americans send music
to Latin America, we shouldn't try
to disguise that we are gum
chewing population" declared Mr.
Smith Our tradition is along the
line of Stephen Foster, not Schu-
bert.
Those of us who know Beethoven
are too likely to be embarrassed by
folk music or popular tunes. We
don't know what to do with them. "
he said. Il think it is about time
we quit being ashamed"
These sentiments we're echoes by
John G. Bradley, chief of the divi-
sion of motion pictures and sound
recordings at the National Archives.
In suggesting that the most power
full machinery for distributing music
today is the movie, Mr.. Bradley as
serted that the shrine of Walt Dis
ney and his music may become as
important as the shrine of Bee
thoven He said, however, that the
music distributed through animated
cartoons need not conflict with art
music"
The greatest difficulty in Pan
American music today is that it
operates on one-way street." Mr..
Bradley asserted. I'VE send our
popular music down to South Amer
lea by our motion pictures, but we
are still greatly in need of Latin
American picture industry which
can send southern music to u.s.
Have Ignored Mexicans.
A protest that the United States,
in its efforts to understand Latin

Urges Business
Standards Unit
For District
Superintendent Of
Weights Suggests
Department Expansion

Expansion of the Department of
Weights. Measures and Markets in
to one of the major divisions of the
municipal government under the
new reorganization plan was pro-
posed to the Commissioners today
by George M Roberts, superintend-
ent of the office.
A considerable increase in powers
of the division, to include enforce
ment of all laws and regulations
relating to standards of perform
ance in connection with the sale and
distribution of commodities or mer-
chandise of every kind. Mr.. Roberts
declared. would be to the benefit of
honest dealers as well as the gen.
eral public.
This was his reaction to the tenta-
tive plan for District reorganization
now being completed by Corporation
Counsel Elwood H. Seal, which
would place the Weights, Measures
and Markets Office in the Police De-
partment.
Might Partly Control Liquor.
Adoption of Mr.. Roberts plan, OBJ
servers believed, would give his de-
partment at least some measure of
control over the regulation of the
liquor trade, now under the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board, as we'll as
some control over other mercantile
activities not now regulated by his
office.
In lengthy brief, filed with the
commissioners, Mr.. Roberts sug-
gested that the name be changed to
Department of Business Standards,
or Department of Business Regula-
ton, or Department of Trade and
Commerce.
In a description of the functions
Of the department., Mr. Roberts pro-
posed they include "all functions of
the District in relation to the ad-
mlnlstration of laws and regula-
tlons affecting the operation of mer-
camille and manufacturing business
within the District of Columbia, and
all laws and regulations relating to
standards of performance in con-
nection with the sale and distri-
button of commodities of merchan-
disc of every kind"
Sees "Desirable" Method.
In the draft being prepared by
Corporation Counsel Seal, provision
is made for a License Department.
Mr. Roberts said under his plan it
would not be essential" that the
Department of Business Standards
include the clerical work of issuing
licenses but he added that change
might also be desirable
Specifically. his plan proposes that
the new regulatory department be
given the functions of administering
the weights and measures law, in
cluding laws and regulations Ito in
sure quality of business perform
ance"; administration of the law
relating to business licenses and reg
ulations Hereunder. including the
power OF revocation: administration
of the law to prohibit false and
fraudulent advertising-and he in
sisted little effort now was made to
enforce this law, and administration
: of laws and regulations dealing with
sale of gasoline and motor fuels,
closing out sales" sale of used auto
mobiles and supervision of public
markets.
Mr. Roberts told the Commission
ers his general idea has the support
of a number of leading authorities.

BUTTE, Mont, June a.
w. T. Sweet, whose hobby for
years has been the study of rat
tlesnakes, says a lot of the popu-
lar beliefs about the reptiles are
not founded on fact.
Debunking some popular fan

blind in August; they cannot
stand the hot summer heat of
the sun on their bodies; they do
not like to fight; they will not
strike unless disturbed or fright
ened; they cannot strike farther
than half the length of their
bodies and they do not always
rattle before striking.

And for this reason: The '.use

from the efforts of the school
