RALLY IS STAGED

Bonds OF Denmark, Norway
And Others Turn Up Fol-
lowing Nose-Dive

NEW YORK, April 10 Up -
Rallying from Tuesdays collapse,
Scandinavian loans came back from
1 to 6 points in a bond
market today.
With only slender clues so far to
the outcome of crucial fighting m
the north, bond traders moved
warily. Selling flurries alternated
with activities Of some bargain seek
ers willing to buy in anticipation of
a : technical rebound, and the result
was a highly erratic price movement
throughout the list.
Corporate liens generally felt a
preponderance of selling, although
most losses were comparatively mar
row.
Leading the recovery in Scandin-
avians were Denmark IS, up 6
points, Denmark 4 LIS, up 4 1-2 Nor
way 4 Ids, up 2, Norway 4 LIS up
? "a, Copenhagen 4 1-2s, up 2 ga.
However, ONE other Scandinavians
which were untraded yesterday took
their beating today. Oslo City 4 1-2s
dropped "a points on sale of one
bond, and Askershus As, the cbliga-
ton of a Norwegian governmental
department, plunged down %.
A few other foreign issues picked
up some of the previous losses, not
ably Belgium Is and Italy Is.
U. S. governments, excepting scat
tered issues, lost further ground in
light trading.

nothing at all to Albert. 1t was just an indefi-

was the only important color Mason hadn't
tried, he guessed that was what it must be.

When Albert began to get the hang of the
architectural profession he picked up his old
hobby of music and began new one-read-
ing. In his few leisure hours, Albert was either
reading voraciously or playing the piano.
Kahn today is still intensely interested in
music. The architects collection of classical
phonograph records is huge. But he hates jazz
- it irritates him.

When he was eighteen years old and an
accomplished draftsman,' he was the main
support of his family, then numbering ten.
His weekly pay check was given to his moth
er, who returned an allowance to him.
When the young architect graduated to
job as contact man for the Mason Office, he
met Ernestine krolik. The kroliks were a
well-to-do Detroit family who had decided
to build new home. Mason was the architect
and Kahn was put in charge of the work.
Young Albert was much taken with the charm
and intelligence of the daughter of the house
and made up his mind that he would marry
her some day.
After ten years of experience in architec
ture Kahn, at the mellow age of twenty-one,
heard that the American Architect magazine
was sponsoring a contest First prize was a
$500 travelling scholarship. He sent some
sketches without any real hope of winning.
Perhaps there weren't many entries that
year" Kahn says. Anyway, won a scholar
ship and went to Europe. The only catch to
the prize was that must do twelve articles
and twelve sketches on the trip
in Europe l saw so many wonderful
things just got completely bewildered. My
sketches proved very acceptable. but my

~UznED and little frightened an eleven
ear-old German boy landed in New
. York with his mother, aunt and five
younger children.
None spoke more than few syllables of
English They were surrounded in foreign
country with foreign language and the situa-
ton looked pretty difficult.
The eleven-year got them through
immigration inspection and customs, and
managed to get them aboard the train for
Baltimore where Papa, who had come from
Germany year earlier. was waiting.
That was sixty years ago.
Today that little boy, Albert Kahn. is
celebrating his forty-sixth year as an inde-
pendent architect
Kahn has probably designed more factories
than any one man or finn in the world. A large
proportion of the industrial architecture in
the United States comes from his office.
During recent weeks he has designed many
millions of dollars worth of national defense
construction for the United States govern
ment 1t is literally true that the sun never
sets on kahn's work. Examples of his archi
down the globe He has built new house for
the worlds industry.
Il listened to what people said they needed
and gave it to them," Kahn tells you today
When began" he continues, Architects
were little interested in factory building.
The office boy was good enough to design
them.
I'm still that office boy designing fac
tories.
He did start out as an Office boy But he
took advantage of the opportunities that
offered themselves. His ability to work furi-
ously and for long stretches is part of the
chemistry of his success. There are other fac
tors in his climb to fame, too he has the cour
age to do what no one else has done; he has
foresight most of ALL he has determination
to succeed
Albert Kahn has certainly moved fast since
he came to this country. Albert was born to
Joseph and Rosalie Kahn in 1869 in Rhaunen,
near Germanys Ruhr basin. His father was
sensitive young teacher; the family was in
tellectual, but not wealthy.
His experiences as boy gave Albert load
of responsibility which stayed with him for

years. Perhaps the fact that the youngster
did have to struggle explains the success of
his later life. When he was a child, Albert
knew what it meant to do without things
other boys accepted as normal.
At seven, Albert was something of child
prodigy-not at the drawing board which
later led him to fame, but at the piano. He
spent hours day in hard practice, hoping
to become concert musician.
But he couldn't draw for sour apples. In
fact he never began to draw until he exercised
some of his now-famous determination. And
then the boy who couldn't draw became one
of the great architects.
Hod a Hard Time ofh
SHoRrLY after young Albert shepherded his
family from Rhaunen to Baltimore, Mr.. Kahn
decided to move the whole brood to Detroit.
As soon as they we're settled, Albert went
to work at the first job available - in an
architects Office. He became apprentice and
office boy at eleven years of age.
Il had hard time of it," he now recalls.
"One day, when utterly discouraged. just
went outside and bawled. Who happened to
drop in at that moment but Julius Melchers,
much beloved sculptor and father of the
famous American painter Carl Melchers. He
asked me what was the matter.
Il told him they wouldn't give me chance
to do anything"
Said Melchers: 'See here, Albert, l run
drawing school Sunday mornings. Why don't
you join up? If you have money, you can pay.
If not, that's all right, too
OF course little Albert had no money. He
was working for nothing All architects-to-be
had to spend years apprenticeship in those
days. But he went to Melcherss school.
"Melchers really taught young architects
to draw" Kahn says. Il hung on and learned
something. Melchers then found me place
in the architectural Office of George D.
Mason"
While working in this Office, it was found
that Kahn was color blind serious handicap
for an architect To an extent, he still is blind
to some colors He can see red and other
primary colors, but gets lost on the secondary
colors-the blends The head craftsman found
out about his plight and told the boss. MIR.

Bill Involving Budget
Messages Given House

By the Associated Press.
A bill which would prevent Presi-
dent Roosevelt from transmitting
another budget to Congress if he is
not reelected for a third term was
proposed yesterday by Representa-
tive Cochran, Democrat, of Missouri.
The measure would change the
date for transmission of the budget
to Congress in years in which a
President is inaugurated.
Under existing law, Mr.. Cochran
said, the President is required to
transmit the budget on the first day
of each regular session although the
actual practice is for it to be sub
mitted the day after the Presidents
annual message is delivered.
AS a result of the so-called lame
duck" amendment to the Constitu-
ton, the presidential term starts on
January 20, but Congress meets on
January 3. so that unless the budget
law is changed the outgoing Chief
Executive would be required to
transmit a budget more than two
weeks before his successor takes
Office.
Mr. Cochran suggested that in in
| auguration years, the date for sub
mission of the budget be fixed as
February 20.

Delivered 10 Allies
In 18 Months
Negotiations for Many
More Indicate Reliance
On American Plants

By the Associated Press.
Busy American aircraft plants have
delivered more than 1,100 warplanes
to the British and French fighting
forces, an authoritative compilation
showed today.
The two governments together
have placed orders for approximately
1000 planes since they first turned
to the United States for help 10
months ago.
Current negotiations for upward
of 5000 additional bombers, pursuit
craft and other types, which Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau is
watching to protect this Govern
ment's interests, testify further to
allied reliance on American factories.
100 Craft a Month Delivered.
These and existing untitled orders,
coupled with the pressure for speed
from purchasing missions, promise
to step up materially the recent de-
livery rate of more than 100 craft a
month.
More than 300 planes have been
loaded on merchant ships or tugged
across the Canadian border since
