Jessye Choir
Recital Enjoyed
By Large Group
By Estyr l.. Bradley

An ensemble of eighteen men
and women known as the Eva Jes-
sye choir, dramatists of Negro mu-
sic, presented an original recital in
Northrop Auditorium, Monday eve
ming, March 20, as a part of the
University Artists Recital Course.
The group was led by Conductor
Eva Jessye, and aided by Robert l..
Nolan of Cleveland, Ohio, talented
pianist.
The concert was a bit disappoint-
ing in that Northrop Auditorium
was entirely too large a place for
so intimate concert. Many of the
fine dramatizations were lost be-
cause they couldn't be heard clear
ly. One of the assets to their
presentations was the effective
manner in which the group assem-
bled on the stage for their differ
ent numbers.
Among the most applauded num-
bers during the recital was the
popular spiritual, "Shadrach, Me-
shach, Abnedgo," 81 STAN an Fol'
My Arms" valley of Dry Bones"
''The Strawberry Woman" "All 1
Got Done Cone" and the travesty
on the wake scene in "Porgy and
Bess," Incorporating the st. Louis
Blues, the production in which the
choir first came to public notice.
Male Members Hit
The male members of the group
made a decided hit with the audi
ence with their renditions of "Rock
My Soul" Casey JONES'" and the
"Steel Drivers Song"
Robert L. Nolan, the gifted ac-
companist, rendered "a New Hidin'
Place" and Spoon River"
Striking Costumes
Nine. Jessye wore two striking
costumes during the performance,
one a white sheer evening gown
and the other a floral print gown
with green and black predominant
ing colors. For several of the Sc
lections, she sat at one of the two
pianos on the stage and very effec-
lively joined with Mr.. Nolan in the
Accomplishments.
The large and appreciative audi
ence gave the choir quite an ova-
ton and they graciously responded
with four curtain calls, the best
known of which was, Fare Thee
Well, Fare Thee Well"

Baby Born on Bus as Women
Passengers Assist Stork

The stork outsped cross country
Greyhound bus in race to the Alex
andria Hospital early today when
Mrs. Julia Hermes, 30, of Brooklyn
N. Y, gave birth to 6-pound baby
boy while travelling at As miles an
hour. There were 81 passengers on
the bus.
Claude w. Blythe, the driver, first
knew of his extra passenger when
he heard the child cry.
While Milton P. Hermes, husband
of the young mother, walked ur
and down the aisle, wringing his
hands like any other expectant
father" two women passengers
ministered to Mrs. Hermes and
urged Mr.. Blythe to hurry on to a
telephone or the hospital.
Earlier Mr.. Blythe had stopped his
bus at the home of a Triangle, Va
physician so that Mrs. Hermes could
have proper attention, but the doc
tor explained that he had no facili-
ties in his home for taking care of
her and expressed the view that she
could reach Alexandria Hospital be-
fore the child was born.
There seemed to be two opinions
among the 81 passengers on board
Mr.. Blythe said today. THE hus-
band kept walking up and down the
aisle and wringing his hands and
asking me to hurry to the hospital
The two woman passengers, whose
names / didn't learn, wanted me to
Evening star., 1939-01-26

get to telephone, but demanded
that the bus be kept moving. I got
worried and stopped two or three
times, but every time they got more
excited in their demands that ]
drive on. When I heard the baby
cry felt sure everything was all
right"
AS soon as the bus arrived at
Woodbridge, Va, Mr.. Blythe stopped
and called the Triangle physician
and an ambulance from the Hall
funeral home at Lorton. The doctor
arrived a few minutes later and
commended the two woman passen-
gers on their admirable" handling
of the situation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hermes, who were
en- route from Florida to their
Brooklyn home, today were with
their new son at the Alexandria
Hospital and mother, child and
father were reported doing nicely"
The young husband, who works
for finance company, said his wife
is daughter of Judge Philip Maeg-
her of Municipal Court, Kings
County, New York. He praised the
bus driver for his help in the emer-
gency and said he had discovered
that the bus steward, Robert Holi-
day, who also assisted, is a neigh
Dor from Brooklyn.
The child will be named Michael

Hanes Defends Plan
To End Tax Exemption,
As Hearings Begin
Treasury Aide Calls 1t
Simple Proposal to End
Obvious Injustiees'
BY the Associated Press.

Undersecretary of the Treasury
John w. Hanes told the House Ways
and Means Committee today Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposal to end tax
exemptions on governmental sala-
ries and securities was simple
proposal to correct obvious injus-
! tees"
Speaking exclusively on the effect
/ Of the proposal on salaries, Mr..
Hanes pointed out that although
Federal and State employees pay in
come taxes to the governments for
which they work they are exempt
from levies of the other govern
ments.
The president of a State univer-
sity with $4,000 salary, Mr.. Hanes
said in illustration, has a big ad-
vantage over the head of denom-
inationa! college in the same State
who has the same salary, because
the State university president is ex-
empt from Federal income taxes.
He said the situation irked the
public, explaining:
Inc glDeS 10 Wnlcn we nave all
been subject, as we'll as the letters
we have received. and the editorials
we have read make that clear. Public
hostility to tax-eXempt salaries is
particularly disturbing because it
springs in part from misapprehen-
sion of the actual degree of tax ex-
emption."
The Undersecretary added that,
from the point of view of revenue,
the exemption of governmental en-
ployes is of little significance. ""'
Because of the relatively low average
level of salaries, the removal of the
present exemption of governmental
employees is not expected to add more
than about $16,0O0000 to Federal
revenues"
