Swing music-the delight Of young
Americans-is just as popular in
Mexico. Maybe more so.
So says Carlos Chavez, the Mexi-
can composer and conductor Of the
Orquesta Sinfonica de Mexico. Mr..
Chavez took time yesterday to dis
cuss such things after a practice
session at Constitution Hall, where
on Sunday he will direct the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra as guest
conductor.
Mr.. Chavez says that American
dance music has become so familiar
and popular in Mexico through radio
programs, movies and records that
its influence is even to be seen in
the writing of modern popular Mexi-
can music.
Mr.. Chavez has the dark, thick
hair typical of Mexicans, and his
eyebrows are heavy and black.
Genial and soft spoken, he gave the
impression he would be willing to
sit and talk all afternoon despite a
busy morning with the Symphony
Orchestra.

His calm and poise were cracked,
but only momentarily, when a pho
tographer asked him to ascend the

smiling. Il cannot pose. I don t
mind If you take a picture while I
am actually conducting, but If I

music good" with definite prom

pressed a liking for the former S

Mr.. Chavez is a busy composer,

to Americans. Probably best known
is his ballet, H. P.," which was
given its first stage presentation by
Stokowski and the Philadelphia Or

PARIS, Feb. 2.-France,s blockade
ministry in a communique today
supported Britain's contention that
the allies are within their rights In
examining United States and other
neutral mails in their search for
contraband destined for Germany.
The communique said the allied
contraband controls had seized mil.
lions Of dollars In currency. jewels
and goods which 1t asserted Nad
agents and sympathizers had dis
patched to German destinations.
1t said goods seized included q
heavy traffic in foodstuffs labeied
commercial samples"
Hague Agreement Cited.
Like the note in which Great
Britain two weeks ago rejected q
United States protest against exam
ination of mails, the French com.
munique said the rights of bellig.
erents in this respect were clearly
defined in article one of the Elev.
enth Hague Convention in 1907.
Moreover, it asserted, THE United
States Government on May S,
1916, admitted that notes and
negotiable instruments were com.
parable to merchandise and sub.
mitted as such to the same exerciso
Of belligerent rights"
The blockade ministry expressed
the allies desire to reduce cargo
and mail delays to minimum, and
suggested that a "navicert" (navi-
cation certificate), or passport"
system, might speed the passage Of
ships.
Britain, in rejecting the United
States protest, said that Q large
scale racket" has sprung up in
the United States to get foreign
exchange to Germany by sending
cash and checks through the mail.
Spokesman said evidence also had
been uncovered that traffic in food
for Germany from the United States
and South America was organized
on an enormous scale" and that

ployed.
$4,000 Packages Seized.

that examination of transatlantic

Pupils Flag Salute Case
Before Supreme Court
By the Associated Press.

~ tIlc ASSOCldteQ TIeoS.
The Supreme Court was asked to-
day to decide whether school chill
dren may refuse to salute the Amer
lean flag on the ground that saluting
violated their religious beliefs.
Counsel for the Minersville (Pa)
School Board contended in a petit
ton that "the saluting of the flag
is no more than an acknowledge
ment Of the temporal sovereignty of
this Nation and has nothing what
soever to do with a persons re-
Igious feelings"
The board sought a review of a
decision by the Third Federal Cir
cult Court at Philadelphia holding
that a 12-year-old girl and a 10
year-old boy had a right to refuse
to salute the flag at the opening OF
school exercises.
Salutes were required by the
Minersville School Board. The chill
dren-Lillian Gobitis and William
Gobitis-.were expelled.
In past years, the petition said,
the Supreme Court has refused to
review f1ag-salute cases appealed
from Georgia, California, New
Jersey and Massachusetts,. In those
controversies, lower courts upheld
the requirement.
