BY HANS KINDER,

The essence of Debussy's music Is
its constant aristocracy. its exquisite
reticence. Nowhere is this economy
of means" more perfectly illustrated
than in the opening bars of the first
nocturne, called Clouds"
This work starts the imagination
by the simplest of means. Only two
clarinets and two bassoons, followed
by a short and melancholy phrase
on the English horn, are heard, and
nevertheless a picture, perfect
tonal impression of the dreamlike
quality of slowly passing clouds is
evoked
And in Festivals" although here
the scoring is more brilliant, more
iridescent in its musical color. the
most magical effect once again is
achieved in the most easily accom-
plished way. After a long, false
climax the music stops abruptly;
then from far away We seem to
hear the approach of a phantom
pageant, very slowly, very gradually,
until it comes closer and closer and
passes by us and then, equally slow
ly, vanishes in the far distance.
leaving us with bated breath at its
chimerical magnificence The mood
was set with just few instruments
-tympani and low plucked harp
notes and three muted trumpets-
but picture. an effect was created
such as music had not known until
then.
The same holds good of the warm,
midsummer atmosphere of the ear
lier composition known as THE
Afternoon of Faun." Small Won

was joined by the newest member,
William o. Douglas. The former
chairman of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission took the oath
as the court met, thereby bringing
the tribunal to its full compile
ment of nine members.
This also brought dissent from
Justices McReynolds and Butler.
Decision Saves I. C. C. Trouble.
One of the decisions, reversing a
District Court ruling in Oregon, saved
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion from being forced to reopen
proceedings in thousands of cases
involving motor bus operation. The
commission had held that an ap-
plicant was not entitled to bus
permit under the grandfather
clause" e"-proof of service prior to
the enactment of the Motor Car
rier Act-and the lower court said
that the commission should have
investigated to determine if there
was need for the service anyway
and acted accordingly.
The high court said, however,
that the applicant had only based
his claim to operating rights on
the grandfather clause" and that
the commission was not required
to pass to any other point.
Other decisions included these:
That an order by the Federal
Power Commission denying applica-
ton of public utility companies to
consolidate is subject to review by
a Federal Circuit Court.
That the proceeds from veterans
war risk insurance may be included
in the gross estate for computing
the Federal estate tax.

Stronger Alien Laws
Studied in Congress
On Courts Decision
Several Would Introduce
Bills for Deportation
Of Communists
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated P-eSs.
The Supreme Courts decision
blocking deportation Of Joseph G..
Strecker, one-time Communist,
brought demands in Congress today
for strengthening the laws affecting
aliens in this country.
In addition to the 6O-odd meas
ures already introduced, several
legislators said they would offer new
proposals to meet the situation
created by the courts ruling.
Terming the decision "a blow to
law enforcement Representative
Hobbs. Democrat, of Alabama. said
he would propose expulsion of any
alien, who, at any time since his ar
rival here, belonged to such an or
ganization.
We had believed the law to be
that proof only was necessary that
an alien was member of the Com
munlst party at any time" Repre-
sentative Hobbs said.
Representative Hobbs said the
courts decision seemed to Justify
Secretary of Labor Perkins in sus-
pending deportation proceedings
against Harry Bridges, C. l. o. West
Coast Maritime leader, until the
Strecker case was decided.
Representative Dempsey, Demo-
crat, of New Mexico, member of the
Dies Committee on Un-American
Activities, said the Strecker decision
should expedite Senate approval of
his bill, already passed by the House,
calling for deportation of an alien
who advocates ANY change" in the
United States form Of government.
Pending in the House are bills
for broad investigation of the i'm
migration laws and for detention in
special camps of aliens ordered de-
ported but whose native countries
refuse them passports.

cally that Mr.. Strecker was entitled
to the writ of habeas corpus, and
ordered him freed.
The minority opinion of Justices
McReynolds and Butler referred to
the majority view as both un-
warranted and unfortunate
Sees Protection Vanishing.
IF by the simple process of re-
signing or getting expelled from a
prescribed organization an alien
may thereby purge himself after
months or years of mischievous ac-
tivities hoped-for protection against
such conduct will disappear" it
added. Escape from the conse-
quences of deliberate violations of
our hospitality should not become
quite so facile."
1t was said shortly after the de-
cision was announced that Labor
Department attorneys would study
it thoroughly before making any
move in the Bridges case.
In San Francisco Mr.. Bridges was
quoted by the Associated Press as
declaring that the ruling will not
satisfy the people who seek my
deportation" He added that he was
taking all possible steps to pro-
cure my citizenship papers"
In Hot Springs, Ark, Mr. Streck-
er expressed elation, saying that Il
knew they were going to turn me
loose. because I fight for democ-
racy."
He came to this country from a
part of Austria that now is Po-
land and told the Associated Press
he had sold his restaurant to pros
ecute his fight to remain.
In the labor case opinion, read by
Justice Stone, the court reversed q
ruling by the Third Circuit Court
of Appeals which refused to make
effective an order of the National
Labor Relations Board against
Benjamin Fainblatt and Marjorie
Fainblatt, doing business under the
name of the Somerville Manufac-
turing Co. and the Somerset Man.
ufacturing Co. of Somerset, N. J.
Employed by Gotham Firm.
The Fainblatts are employed by
the Lee SportsWear Co. of New
York, which cuts clothing ane
ships it to them to be made ur
and then returned or sent through
distributing channels.
Efforts to organize the concern
by the International Ladies Gar.
ment Workers Union were accom-.
panied by a strike and other trou.
bles, which the Labor Board even.
tually held were in violation of thu
Labor Act. The Appeals Court, rul.
ing adversely, contended that tn.
Jersey concern, as a professor, wa.
not in interstate commerce.
Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne.
braska, foe of the Labor Relation.
Board, indicated approval of the mi.
nority opinion, saying it was "a vio.
lent stretch of Government author.
ity" for Congress to regulate ar
industry engaged in intrastate proc.
essing activities.
On the contrary, friends of Sena.
tor Wagner, Democrat, of New York
author of the law, said he was
greatly pleased with the decision
believing the ruling cleared away tht
last major question as to the Labor
Boards jurisdiction.

Elliott Roosevelt
Proposes Licensing
Of Radio Networks
Presidents Son Says
individual Stations Are
Not in Control Of Time

A proposal for governmental II.
censing of radio network systems
under the same conditions by which
radio stations are now licensed was
made before the Monopoly Investi-
eating Committee of the Federal
Communications Commission today
by Elliott Roosevelt, second son Of
President Roosevelt.
1t was Mr.. Roosevelt's third ap-
pearance before the committee
Before he testified the commit
tee heard Fred Weber, gneral man
ager of the Mutual Brosdcasting
System, tell Of practices of the large
national networks which, the wit
ness said, prevented development Of
another network to meet demands
by the stations themselves and the
public in various sections.
Broadcasting stations, Mr.. Roose-
velt testified, are actually not in con-
troll of their time when it is being
used by regional and national net
works. He cited recent instances
where stations had been taken to
task by the F.. c. C. because of GER
tain programs alleged to be not in
the public interest. He said in such
cases the stations had no prior in
formation concerning the material
to be broadcast, and merely had
turned their facilities over to the
| networks under their contracts.
He said the only remedy for such
a situation would be to have net
works licensed. He said they should
be brought under the same F. C. C.
scrutiny as that to which the in
| divldual stations are now subjected.
He added that he believed this would
remove many of the complaints
within the industry and before the
| commission.

crowd to understand the new Ian
guage Debussy spoke in this work.
Not until Nijinsky, the great dancer
and choreographer of the Russian
Ballet, identified himself in a mar
velous creation with the amorous
faun did the composition become
generally known and admired. Gre
ative artists are apt to pretend scorn
for their early works, which they
have outgroWn or discarded. De-
busy himself in later years spoke
slightingly of The Afternoon of
Faun' as "a piece of youthful folly"

Psychologist Takes
Stand in Trial
Of Mrs, Rdnd|e
Accuser 1estifies She
Was Offered Repayment
To Drop Case

DR.. Robert A. Brotemarkel, noted
psychologist of the University of
Pennsylvania, testified in District
Court today against Mrs. Rosalyn
Randle, indicted on a charge of
false pretenses for allegedly taking
$500 on a claim she could improve
the mental health of boy and said
he had never met the defendant
who claims also to be an expert, ac-
cording to Government charges.
The Government charges that
Mrs. Randle took $500 from Mrs
Catherine H. Reed, 1881 California
street NV. to cure her son Rufus
of mental ailments. The morning
session was spent with cross-eXaml-
nations of Mrs. Reed by defense at
torney, Robert H. McNeill, and re-
direct examination of the complain
ant by Assistant United States At
torney Arthur B. Caldwell.
The boys mother testified she re-
ceived literature from Mrs. Randle
before paying the $500 and that the
defendant told her she was licensed
to practice medicine in several States
as we'll as being leading psycholo-
gist and food expert. Justice Jesse
c. Adkins asked about the literature.
Mrs. Reed testified she was offered
a $3.50 refund and later was offered
repayment of the $500 plus costs on
behalf of Mrs. Randle, If she would
get the district attorneys office to
drop the case against her. On re-
oirect examination by Mr.. Caldwell,
Mrs. Reed declared she had not been
offered anything by Mr.. McNelll or
Mrs. Randle until suit was filed IN
Municipal Court. Mrs. Reed said
Mr.. Caldwell would not sell the
United States Government" swhen
the proposal to drop the indictment
was put up to him by the defense.
She further testified that Mrs.
Randle promised to make her son
Seth an official in Rosalyn Randle,
Inc, and give him stock and that
the defendant told her her sons
condition was similar to that OF
North Carolina tobacco heirs.
An unexpected angle cropped up
yesterday when Mary Lea, 1927 Mon
roe street NV. filed in District
Court a complaint for fraud and
conspiracy against the Rosalyn Ran
ole Corp. Mrs. Helen G. Randle-
whom the Government says is also
known as Rosalyn Randle-and
Hertz g. Co., Inc, which has offices
in the Southern Building here,
claiming they owe her 81 545 as the
outgroWth of stock purchase.
