dom" series, to be presented to-
morrow at $50 pm. over Station
WMAL, goes back % centuries to
the time of Socrates-the philoso-
pher with the brilliant mind and
golden tongue.
This dramatization, entitled "The
Death of Socrates" is another pro-
gram presented by The Star in CO.
operation with the Civic Theater
and Georgetown University.
Struggle for Rights.
Like the other episodes, "The
Death of Socrates" is based on his
tory and depicts the courage, suf-
fering and sacrifices of the common
man in his struggle for the rights
and privileges enjoyed today.
For those who need brushing up
on their history, Socrates was SEN
fenced to death by the Court OF
Athens after being tried on charges
of heresy to the gods Of Greece and
corruption If the young.
Although these were the formal
charges, the court, made up of
leading citizens, really decided to
silence the old philosopher because
lesser men could no longer stand
his searching questions, his insist
ence on virtue in public and private
life.
The script for this play was writ
ten by Charles Dillon, veteran radio
writer, in collaboration with DR..
James T. Lowe of Georgetown Uni
versity.
Orchestral Music.
The program will be announced
by Bill Coyle, radio director of The
Star, and appropriate music will be
furnished by an orchestra directed
by Fritz Balzer.
The cast, members of the Wash
ington Civic Theater, directed by
F. Cowles Strickland, will include
John Hoar, Dot Lewis, Marvin Beers,

Final Instructions Given
For Symphony Drive

Final instructions have been given
the more than 600 volunteer workers
who will start Sunday to raise
Sill 900 for the National Symphony
Orchestra's 1939-40 season. It will
be the symphony's ninth annual
sustaining fund campaign.
Ten campaign divisions will inter-
view approximately 10000 Washing
tonians before the drive concludes
February %.
+, Thomas P. Morgan, jr., general
chairman of the campaign, today
stressed the Importance of small
donations to the success of the drive.
Although the Special Gifts Commit
tee, soliciting larger donations, is
responsible for raising about IS per
cent of the total fund, he pointed
out the symphony had grown as
the number of small givers in
creased.
Mr.. Morgan explained the Sill, 900
fund does not include money for
outdoor summer concerts at the
Water Gate. However, if the con-
tributions exceed the goal by more
than 8 per cent, he said it might be
possible again to present the Sun

Wallace Opposes
Price Fixing Bill
For Farm Products
Says Consumer Costs
Would Be Increased
$1,000, 900, 900 Annually
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Wallace opposed a
price fixing farm bill today, saying
it might increase consumer costs
,0OO,0O0,O0O or more annually.
The Secretary testified before the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
which is considering a "cost-of-pro-
duction' farm bill that would fix
minimum prices for long list OF
farm products.
This would involve consumers
tax several times as great as any
processing tax that could pass Con-
gress," Secretary Wallace said. This
is a very interesting possible method
for collecting a consumers tax of
$1,OO0,O00,000 and it might be several
times that
How does it differ from the tar
iff?" interrupted Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana. That also
is a more painless way of getting
the tax out of the consumer"
Similar to Tariff.
Mr.. Wallace agreed the fixing of

industry, and added:
"A great many people would throw
up their hands in holy horror at a
80 cents bushel processing tax who
favor a minimum price OF Sl.50
bushel for wheat" he said.
The Secretary speculated that the
proposal to license all buyers OF
farm products to assure payment OF
fixed prices probably would result
In bootlegging" of farm products.
This brought protest from Sen
ator Wheeler that under the present
Farm Act some farmers were getting
benefit payments for doing nothing.
Mr.. Wallace asked Senator
Wheeler to supply specific details"
to the Agriculture Department for
investigation.
All payments, the Secretary said,
were controlled by county commit
tees of farmers, and the department
always tried to prevent chisellng."
Hot Exchange Over Cost.
Mr.. Wheeler, one of the Senators
advocating the price-fixing bill, en-
gagged in a sharp exchange with
Secretary Wallace over estimated
cost of administering the proposed
bill.
The Secretary said these costs
might amount to S275 100000 an
nually or several times the cost OF
administering the present farm pro-
gram.
That's sheer nonsense" Senator
Wheeler snapped.
The Secretary said he favored any
program to increase the farmers
share of the national income, but
expressed preference for going ahead
with the present program for 1899.
Instead of sweeping changes" IN
the program, he asked that only
minor changes" be put in operation
this year.
Farm leaders are sick and tired
of having a new farm bill passed in
the late winter or early spring" he
declared. The almost universal
belief is, that as far as 1899 is con-
cerned, we should 60 ahead with the
present program.
ANY sweeping changes in the ma
tional farm program should be de-
layed until 1910 If there are any,
they should be passed at this session
of Congress"

Then when the exaggerated racism
of Nazi Germany offended the con-

pastoral vigilance Plus XI was true
to the historic character and mis-

long record of Christianity and its
conflicts spread before him, he de-
tected the modern phase with un-
erring intuition, whether it origi-
mated in Moscow or Berlin.
Over two years ago men thought
the pontiff's end was near. BY the
miracle Of radio, sheer drama was
enacted on world stage. The in
defatigable voice was heard again
as the stricken pontiff spoke what
he thought was his last will and
testament into microphone on

failing strength for one supreme
effort. he painfully and heroically
besought the listening world to rec

recedes and eternity approaches
With no sword in hand save only
the two-edged blade Of truth and
justice, Plus XII made his final
stand in his City of Souls and pro-
claimed an ancient verify: No
state on earth is placed so high as
to be beyond the reach of the nat

the Pulses throughout the centuries.
So replied the latest Plus in what
then seemed his final hour with the
conscious faith that his frail flesh

historians to record the manner in
which the issue was finally Joined
between followers of the Word
