States of America and the Soviet
Union"
A special police precinct head

men were stationed in the great
arena. The remainder were on
duty outside.
Communist officials estimated the
attendance at the rally at $4,000;

spector Louis F. Schilling was be-
tween 10000 and 1900.

onstrations of the records and of two
types of record players.
The general plan of the program
and the educational and community
advantages to be derived from it
were described in special broadcast
last night by Commissioner Melvin
c. Hazen, president of the Board
of Commissioners; Mrs. Henry Grat-
tan Doyle, president of the Board of
Education, and S. H. Kaufman,
assistant business manager OF The
Star. The broadcast, heard over
Station WMAL, marked the open
ing of the campaign. Commissioner
Hazen and Mrs. Doyle are members
of the Committee of Sponsors of
the project.
Widens Intellectual Horizon.
Calling attention to DR.. Ballou's
plan to bring the campaign and its
advantages to the attention of school
pupils, Mrs. Doyle said:
Young minds need to understand
completely the meaning OF music
they hear before they can fully en-
Joy it. BY playing the recorded SYM
phonies over and over again, the
student will enrich his own insight
into the objectives and creative
forces of the composers. The public
schools of the District of Columbia
are ever on the lookout for ways of
widening the scope of the students
intellectual horizon. When the an
nouncement of The Stars Music
Appreciation Campaign was received
1t was at once realized that here was
project worthy to be recommended
not only to grown-ups, but to the
children in the schools"
Mrs. Doyle added that the record
ing releases will conveniently sup
plement the work that is being done
in teaching music in the schools of
Washington.
Naturally as one who is deeply
concerned over the development of
cultural appreciation among the
students of Washington schools,
cannot but feel that such an offering
of recordings will do much to stimu-
late interest in fine music" she add
ed. Every educator knows that
music is very important part of
the student curriculum. Ever since
time began man has sought comfort,
solace and expression In musical
composition. A deep appreciation of
music, therefore, is something that
becomes more valuable as one grows
older and the sooner that apprecia-
ton Is sharpened, the more enjoy
ment one will obtain from the better
things of life"
Hazen Sees Offer Welcomed.
Commissioner Hazen declared he
Is confident the vast majority of
Washingtonians are lovers of music
and that they will welcome the ef-
fort to acquaint them more inti-
mately with the truly great music of
the past.
"As every one knows" he said,
there are thousands of people in
the metropolitan area who are de-
MED the privilege of enjoying The
classics Of music. Only on rare oc-
casions do the great majority of cit
tzens have this opportunity. As
pointed out in indorsing the cam
paign, the thing that impressed me
was the fact that The Stars offer

Dr.. BIauch DepIores
Cut in j. 5. Share
OF District Expenses
Tells Midcity Citizens
Schoo! Funds Are
inadequate

Deploring the decrease of Federal
share in District maintenance, DR..
Lloyd E. Blauch Of the Advisory
Committee on Education declared
last night that congressional power
to govern disposition of the total
appropriation should be reduced or
denied altogether. Speaking at
meeting Of the Midcity Citizens
Association, DR.. Blauch blamed
excessive slashes" In Board of Edu-
cation estimates, necessitated by in
sumcient Federal support, for diff
culties in the. educational system.
Congress has virtually given up
its share in District expenditures,
now contributing only one-eighth of
the appropriation, yet it exercises
more authority than any other gov
erning branch" DR.. Blauch de-
clared. I'VE fought a war over
similar circumstances over a hun
dred years ago."
DR.. Blauch said that the existing
confusion in the school system is
due to the fact that responsibility
is couched with the board while the
authority to administer is denied.
The association opposed the King
measure to charge the District Com
missioners with regulating the num-
ber Of taxicabs in the District, hold
ing that the bill might encourage
mOnopolies.
Government supervision of estab-
lishments operating under class A
liquor licenses was advocated.
An appeal for rigid enforcement
of the laws forbidding sale of sa-
lacious magazines was made and
will be directed to the office of the
United States attorney for the Dis

The proper authorities will be
asked to tighten regulations on the
transport and sale OF bootleg" coal
in the District.
Following complaints of vandal-
ism in the area, Midcity voted to
request Maj Brown to send men,
bers of the Police Boys Club among
the schools, appealing for co-opera-
ton to end the condition.
