The childhood of Johannes
Brahms was as unpleasant as that
of any great composer. Before hi
was 10 years old he was studying
music in the daytime and playing
piano to swell the family purse al
night. His father, contrabass play
er in a Hamburg theater orchestra
could barely support the family, and
Johannes did all manner of odd jobs
to help, from blacking boots to play
ing in his fathers travelling band
and music halls and peddling his
own melodies.
Toured With Remenyi.
When Brahms was 20, Remenyi
the Hungarian violinist, took him
in tour as accompanist. Through
Remenyi. he not only learned the
gypsy melodies later incorporated In
the Hungarian Dances" but also
met Joachim and Liszt, valuable
friends to him in later years.
Brahms lived his later life in
Vienna, the center where all the
mighty In music, literature and art
foregathered. From 1862 until his
death in 1897 he held his place in
that circle.
His works include four symphonies
many orchestra pieces. chamber mu-
sic, instrumental music and $50
songs Of unique beauty.

For Nicaragua
Like Brazilian Pact
In Return He Promises

Cement Solidarity
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. '.
President Anastasio de Somoza Of
Nicaragua disclosed yesterday that
one purpose Of his visit here is to
seek concrete economic aid for his
country Of the same general nature
AZ that the administration already
has extended to Brazil.
In return, he promised Nicaragua s
full cooperation with North Amer
ican capital and with this Govern
ment's effort to cement continental
solidarity.
Speaking to newsmen slowly in
the English he learned as student
in this country, President Somoza
discussed his aims shortly after con-
cluding an overnight stay at the
White House.
He related that he had talked over
with President Roosevelt every
thing of mutual interest to my coun-
try and yours" In the busy "a hours
since he was greeted with unprece-
dented pomp on his arrival Friday.
Interested in Highway.
Nicaragua, he said, was much in
terested in getting assistance in de-
veloping the country, and especially
toward completing the international
highway. Long sections of this pro-
jected link between North and
South America already have been
built south Of the Rio Grande, with
some help from the United States.
The Nicaraguan President indi-
Gated he had urged construction Of
the long proposed Nicaraguan inter-
oceanic canal-which already has
been sidetracked In Congress in
favor of q third set Of locks for the
Panama Canal.
He said he hoped to confer next
week with heads Of several Federal
departments on details Of closer CO.
operation with the United States.
In the same manner, Foreign Min
lister Oswaldo Aranha earlier this
year, helped shape a far-reaching
arrangement between Brazil and
the United States.
Brazil Got $40 Je00, 900 Loan.
The Export-Import Bank lent
Brazil approximately $40 900 900 and
Brazil, in return, modified its foreign
exchange restrictions so as to facili-
tate trade with this country. Credits
also were arranged for Brazil and
that country agreed to resume pay
ments on her dollar Indebtedness.
The Nicaraguan executive con-
tended there was ample basis for
greater trade between the Americas
I'VE can produce in Latin America
many products more cheaply than
the United States and we should be
able to cooperate to greater mutual
advantage" he said.

Jury Out Six Hours.
The Jurors deliberated approx
mately six hours after hearing the
Judge charge them that "the right
to go about and speak ones mind
and have it in print is q right guar
anteed by the United States Con-
stitution.'
The Government contended that
the six on trial conspired to intimi-

lister, who was conducting cam
paign against gambling, by photo
graphing him at the home Of wom-
an last February IA, then beating

spiracy to intimidation 'of any citi-
zen in the free exercise of or
enjoyment of any right or privilege
secured to him by the Constitution
of the United States"

Judge John McDuffie In delivering
his charge shortly after noon said
In part:
1.-The sole question is whether
these defendants entered into con-
spiracy to interfere with the right
to print or speak. That's all
there is to it.
"You are not trying case of the
Mobile Press or any other paper
against somebody. The whole ques-
ton is: Did these defendants have
an understanding among them
selves that they would get some
thing on the man responsible for the
editorials and news articles?"
Mr.. Ewald resigned and left Mobile
after the incident on which the
charges were based.

Under the leadership of Attorney Joseph Bernblum as chairman, a meeting was held last week at which tenta- tive plans were made for the drive for funds and committees selected to the care of all details.
