EVENING OF MUSIC AZ
UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

4 w
The Department of Music at th'
University of Delaware will present
1 In Mitchell Hall on March z. at S:3l
! p. NJ, three musical treatments ol
the Biblical theme of Jephthah and
his Daughter, representing the work
of. seventeenth, eighteenth and twen-
tieth-century composers
The 30O-year-old ''Jephte". of Car
issimi as an example Of the early
oratorio form will be performed in
its entirety This will be preceded by
chorus from Handlers "Jephtha"
The element of contrast in the Inu-
slcal treatment of the Biblical theme
will be especially emphasized by a
chorus and an aria-chorus from La
zare Saminsky's "The Daughter of
Jephta." The contemporary tenden-
cies of this composer will stand out
in marked relief against the back
ground of the simplicity and distinct
form of the classic Italianism of the
Carisssimi work.
The string accompaniment for the
CaTissimi composition will be pro-
vided by students of the Wilmington
Music School, all of whom are in
structed by members of the we'll
known Curtis String Quartet of Phil
adelphia. Mr.. Paul Terry, organist
of Wilmington. has arranged and
transcribed the accompaniment of
Mr.. Saminsky's composition.
Preceding the music program,
which will be under the direction of
Assistant Professor Anthony LOudis,
Professor W. owen Sypherd of the
Department of English. who has
done extensive research in the musi-
cal. and literary treatment Of Jeph-
thah and his Daughter, will give a
brief talk with special reference to
this program.
Miss Margaret Dennis. instructor
of voice at the University. will sing
the soprano arias in both the Caris-
simi and Saminsky compositions.
The additional sOloists for Caris-
simi's "Jephte" will be Mrs. Thomas
Mylrea. Mr.. Thomas Siudowski and
Mr.. Major Travers.
The University Choir of As voices
will be supplemented by members Of

formance of choral works. The stu
dents and guests taking part in this

ARE YOU A SOCIALIST!

OF late. high official quarters have
been saying again that the impOr-
tance of the IVA as a pOwer-pro-
ducing agency, has been much over
stressed. Twas activities in other
directions. such as soil conservation.
flood control and navigation. have
been pointed out as proof" that
Bower production and sale is sec
ondary. II is now proposed that the
IVA area should be made into a
great national playground - with
more millions in tax funds.
The great bulk of the money spent
by the TVA has been spent ON power.
Twas principal controversies. which
!avc held the headlines and kept the
courts busy for years. have con-
ccrncd electric power. The iva at
the present time has virtual mon
OpOly on the power supply of the en-
tire State of Tennessee, and it ap-
parently has similar designs on the
resources of other states. Out in the
Pacific Northwest, where the social
lists are whOoping it up for taX-sub-
sidizcd. taX-free power from Bonnie
Vile and Grand Coulee dams. the
rVA is the pattern to show how gov
ernment business can absorb pri-
vate business.
Furthermore, the old argument that
TWAS hydro power is simply by
product of other activities. has been
blasted sky high by the iva itself.
The Authority has been building
steam standby plants to make up
for the drop in hydro production
when the supply of water season
ally dwindles.
The playground propaganda to
mask TWAS real purpose is on
par with previous efforts TO disguise
its aims. If the people who are see
ing private property wiped out by
this sort of government competition
can now be fooled by playground
prattle. socialism is, in fact. just
around the corner for all of us.
CamOuhaged backgrounds" will
not fill the treasures of states which
are searching vainly and desperate
ly for ways to make up for the taxes
lost by Twas acquisitions.
Government power projects in
various states mean government in
business on a vast scale. AS Norman
Thomas, socialist leader, said long
ago, it is pure socialism. And that's
the whole story-are you social
list?

AMOS AND ANDY FINANCING

In a recent critical survey of our
national budgetary problem, DR.. Fred
r. Fairchild, professor OF political
economy at Yale, said: Il am con
vinced that Congress must modify its
Rppropriating and procedure. ApprO-
priatiOns are now voted piCccmeal
at such different times as may suit
the convenience of Congress. AT no
time does Congress consider the bud
get as a whole nor is there any sat
isfactory opportunity to debate broad
fiscal policies. There is no proceed
ure whereby the revenue raising and
the appropriating committees of the
two Houses can cooperate and Co
ordinate their work
1t has long been urged by ecOno-
mists and industrial leaders that
Congress take the steps necessary
to making scientific consideration
of the budget possible. And this pro-
pOsal, whose adoption is obviously
necessary if we are to have any
thing resembling efficiency i'll fed
eral finance, does not lack champions
among men high in the government
at present. Some months ago, for in
stance, Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau suggested that the two
Houses appoint committees to meet
together and consider the budget as
whole This joint committee, pre-
sumably. would not deal with indi-
vidual items. Instead it would eX-
anime total expenditures, with a
view to meeting the nations needs
and holding spending down to what
we can afford.
To quote DR.. Fairchild once again,
"The budget expenditures are now
tending to Stabilize around nine
billion dollars. There seem to be
three choices-additiona taxes on
a scale heretofore undreamed of and
probably impossible under anything
like existing economic conditions; a
chrOnically unbalanced budget with
ultimate insolvency of the govern
ment; or a reduction of expenditures
to an amount that can be supported
by a reasonable tax structure. The
welfare of the nation demands rigid
adherence to this last method" And
II must be clear to any student of
government that this goal can never
be reached so long as the present
wasteful hit-and-miss appropriation
procedure is adhered to. No business
which spent money on piecemeal
basis without regard to income,
could long survive. And that Is Just
es true Of government as we'll

GAHNRR GOES OUT on 4 .nIMB

There was q tie vote in the SEN
ate on, an appropriation bill for a
reduction in Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration expenses. Vice Presi-
dent Garner said:
ION this vote the years are 81 and
the nays are 81. The Vice President
votes yea" Thus, Sli5,259 was
stricken from the appropriation.
Such an amount is not big in Gov
ernment affairs. But this desertion
of President Roosevelt and the New
Deal may prove to be very important
Mr.. Garner has been out of sym
pathy with many Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
moves for two or three years. But
Garner has all along been one of the
''Big Four" whom President Ro0se-
welt called TO the White House every
time any Administration measure
was in danger. Garner is one of the
few men of the country who does not
hesitate to discuss differences of
opinions with the President.
When Garner announced his can
didacy for President the comment
from the White House was to the
effect that the Y. P. had made a
frank and clear statement and that
he had a perfect right to aspire to
the office of President
The Vice President has a perfect
right to go against the President
and vote as he did on one of the
items in the Presidents budget.
But, the fact is that Garner has
gone out on a limb. The President is
not going to let the desertion go
unnoticed. The parting of the ways
between the President and the Vice
President will not be postponed
very long.
