WASHINGTON, July 26.-The
main lines of what will be his
toric presidential contest are al
ready becoming visible.
Reduced to its simplest terms.
the fight will be straight-out
scrap between Roosevelt and Will
kie. their strengths and their weak
nesses. their personalities and their
records. Except in so far as they
bear on the two leaders, the party
platforms are of little Importance.
The Republicans are obviously
going to hammer away at the third
term issue They began to chirp
about it at Philadelphia; dissent
ing Democrats like Carter Glass
gave them some brand-neW ammu-
milton at Chicago.
WILL HOP ON
DEFENSE BAND WAGON
On the more positive side, the
Republicans can be expected to
Jump on the national defense band
wagon in a big way.
They will argue (as speeches at
Philadelphia clearly foreshadoWed)
that the nations great need is for
a super-eXecutive, an organizer, a
man who can unite all factions and
get willing cooperation out of the
nations tremendous industrial and
financial machinery. Roosevelt, it
will be urged. has had eight years
and still hasn't got things clicking;
Willkie will be presented as the
one man who can do the Job.

HOLLYWOOD, July 26 = Mr.
Frank Capra is nervously chewing
on his left thumb again, which is
a way of saying that he is hard
at the fashioning of another of
those folksy epics. A Capra pro-
duction is a major event in Movie
land but one of the least exciting
to watch No haste or confusion
or hollering The boss himself is
the quietest member of the compa-
ny, even when he isn't munching
on that thumb.
First called "The Life and Death
of John Doe" the picture has been
retitled Meet Mr.. Doe to escape
the inference that it's biography.
Apparently it is biography, though
of an average guy in rather re-
markable circumstances, all of
which should add up to another
entertaining lecture on the Ameri-
can way.
Details of the story are being
withheld even from the large cast
headed by Gary Cooper and Barb
ara StanWyck and including 100
other speaking roles. Miss Stan
wyck must know more than the
others. though, because she says
her knowledge of the plot is the
first secret ever intruded between
borca1f anI Dnhort
Capra declares he isn't trying to
be mysterious, but that he can't
afford to reveal some of the trick
twists of the yarn. He takes such
long time to get a production on
the screen that larcenous quicki-
makers might rush some of his
ideas into their pictures.
RISKIN' THEIR
OWN MONEY
This is the first completely indie
pendent enterprise of the team of
Frank Capra and Writer Robert
Riskin. The former had almost a
free hand when he was working at
Columbia under Harry Cohn. But
each time, as costs rose past a
million and the schedule stretched
into months, the wear and tear OH
Mr. Cohn'S nerves and business
instincts was something awful. Cap
ra now admits that it doesn't seem
quite fair for a director to be SO
prodigal and autocratic with some
one else's money.
So this time he and Riskin are
paying every nickel of the cost
from Cooper's 100000 wage to
the last dab of makeup on the
loWliest extra. The director tossed

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Returning from concert tour
crowned with success, the National
Symphony Orchestra continued its
Beloved Masterpieces" series with
a program yesterday afternoon in
Constitution Hall. DR.. Kinder and
his men were in splendid form and
seemed to carry with them the aura
of appreciation with which out-of-
town audiences had surrounded
them. There was spirit and au-
thority in the presentation yester-
day and an added finesse noticeable
always after one of the orchestra's S
excursions afar. That the audience
was glad to have them back and
thoroughly enjoyed the Beloved
Masterpiece" fare that was SET
before them was given ample at
testation in the genuine and often
repeated applause.
What most of those present par
ticularly came to hear was Schu-
berts Unfinished Symphony" which
could have no more understanding
Interpretation than that which DR..
Kinder gives it. 1t has long been
recognized as one of the mastery
bits of playing by the Symphony and
is heard repeatedly with the same
pleasure. Yesterdays performance
was as moving and as warmly tinted
as ever.
Preceding the Unfinished" was
another of Schubert's, symphony
No. a." known as The Tragic" SYM
phony for some obscure reason. And
to frame them the program opened
and ended with two of the several
overtures Beethoven wrote for his
opera "Fidelio,' the "Fidelio Over
ture' and the ''Leonore No. g." The
'Fidelio" was substituted for the
listed "Leonore Overture No. @"
Only Beethoven Drama.
The operate form was an unac-
custom one to Beethoven and his
only attempt at writing a music
drama was fraught with difficulties.
The we'll known Beethoven temper
played a part in it and partly to
this is due the surplus of overtures
to "Fidelio." They have proven
source of trouble to historians who
have not positively placed the order
in which they were composed. Frag-
ments of still another overture were
found among Beethovens effects
but, as it was never developed, mu-
sicologists were spared the addi-
tional task of trying to place it in
the sequence of works in this form.
The "Fidelio Overture" as it is
known, was played at the perform
ance of the opera in Vienna in 1914.
This was eight years after its pres
entation with a new overture, now
called "Lenore No. g." The program

weighed down with poverty. For .
young man with ambition, his condi-
ton at such young age may have
been sufficient reason for his nam
ing this symphony Tragic" Except
for the serious note in the beginning,
it has little Of tragedy in it and is as
ingratiating as most of his lyric
works and not even holding q sug-
gestion of the mood voiced in the
Unfinished"
The orchestra played it with SYM
pathy yesterday but now that it is a
part of the repertoire, further per-
formances will undoubtedly point
many of the passages which were
not fully emphasized at this presen-
tation. 1t was interesting to hear
1t in juxtaposition to the "Unfin-
ished," yet better appreciation of
it could be arrived at if programmed
with other composers works. Schu-
bert's symphony No 8" is so popu-
lar as to overshadow anything in
like form from his pen.

ming of the two works on the same
theme made for study in compari-
son as we'll as for welcome oppor-
tunity to hear the seldom played
"Fidelio Overture"
Nothing could be more dissimilar
in mood than these overtures. The
"Lenore No. 3" is highly dramatic
and written with an extraordinary
appreciation of suspense and devel-
oping climaxes besides containing a
mounting glow of enthusiasm in its
composer. 1t so completely tells the
story of the opera and it's dramatic
and lyric scenes that nothing more
is needed. A remodeled version of
"Lenore No. O." it is broader and
more intense in every way.
Played With Sympathy.
1t is difficult to understand there
fore why Beethoven was not suf-
ficiently satisfied with it to use it
at the Vienna production in 1914.
Rewriting "Fidelio" once again
after lapse of years he also wrote
a new overture differing in mood
and style from the preceding one.
1t is gay in spirit, evidently eschew-
ing the dramatic entirely and even
the type of sentiment which makes
the "Lenore No. 3" so affecting. 1t
is pleasant music written with f1uen-
cy, but the effort to avoid the emo
tional is apparent.

The announcement, distributed by

sphere. These bases must be pro-
tected as far as the ingenuity of
man can do so against destruction
from the air. We must be constantly
alert in research and invention of
the means OF defense against new
weapons of aggression. To accom-
plish these ends, we must fully uti-
llze our mass production system, we
must marshal and conserve our
great credit resources, we must have
executive direction and responsible
ity, we must cut through red tape
and bureaucratic delays.
We must have united people.
with each citizen willing to make
sacrifices and ready to stand
shoulder to shoulder in the interests
of national defense. We need that
pioneering spirit that characterized
the days OF the covered wagon.
And what shall be our leadership
as we move forward upon this tre-
mendous task? Shall it be that group
of men who for seven years have
peen IN complete charge of our Gov
ernment, using the Democratic label?
Let us examine their record. For
seven years they have had not only
the presidency and the cabinet, but
strong majorities in both houses of
Congress. They have had complete
authority and they must take full
responsibility for what has hap
pened so far as Government is con-
cerned during these past seven

features Of this advance. No one
shall suffer for want of food, shelter
or clothing. The needs of that por-
tion Of our population who have
no other means of livelihood shall
be met by society, as a whole, acting
through its Government. But 1t
must be equally clear that this is
not the answer to our problem.
After meeting the immediate need,
the great challenge before the
Nation shall, be to furnish more real
jobs for the unemployed In private
industry. We must recognize that
in q free country government in
meeting the need Of its people who
are unemployed Is not solving a
problem, but is only temporarily
easing the consequences of an un-
solved problem.
We must recognize that the answer
to all Of our problems of q domes-
tic nature is not to shrug our
shoulders and say, LET the Govern
ment do It," The role of Govern
ment must be that of an aid to
private enterprise, and not Of sub
stitute for it. More and better jobs,
better housing and improved living
conditions can best be secured
through recognition of this principle.
There has been talk to the Nation
Of more abundant life. In a vain
attempt to secure it they have gone
from greedy contest over the
division of past accumulations of
production to an irresponsible squan-
dering of mortgages on the future.
Would Not Hamper
Investment Capital
Those great revenues which our
Government must raise, to be finan-
cially sound, should be raised in
that manner which shall to the least
degree restrict and hamper the flow
of idle money into the creation of
new products and new jobs for idle
men. Incentive taxes must take the
place Of punitive taxes. We must
exercise to the least possible degree
the powers of Government, to meet
definite abuses, rather than using
abuses as an excuse for the Govern
ment to reach out and grab all the
power in the name of regulation.
Those powers which Government
takes must be clearly divided as to
legislative, executive and judicial.
There is hardly any greater deter
rent to private capital in its desire
to develop more jobs than the
morass of uncertainty which arises
when great autocratic powers, to be
rule maker and investigator, witness
and prosecutor, judge and jury, are

prewar government or their pre-
war generals, yet how necessary and
how fatally delayed was their
change. When democracies face a
crisis, their first step must be an
extremely frank and fair analysis of
their leadership as they prepare to
meet their hours of peril.
I consider it to be the patriotic
duty of my party to analyze frankly
and fairly, from the facts and the
records, the leadership this country
now has and that which it should
have.
Criticism Is Sign
Democracy Is Working.
Let nothing that this convention
may do or say be construed or dis
torted by the enemies of democracies
as reflection upon our form of
government. The constructive criti-
cism in which we must indulge, the
vigorous debate in which we pro-
pose to engage, the severe condem-
nation we intend deliberately to visit
upon those who deserve it-these are
not the signs that democracy is not
working. They are the living evi-
dence that here, in the last refuge
of liberal government, democracy
still Is working.
AS we face the future we see
plainly that if this Nation is to full
fill its high destiny, if we are to
yooko Aroa,-;no cfropo o~l Az, x.o,
of life secure, whether the next years
be years of peace or of conflict, we
must advance with a decisive and
determined step upon four major
fronts:
The front of national prepared
ness.
The front of fifth column defense.
The front of domestic economic
welfare.
The front of governmental effec-
tiveness and integrity.
What shall be the salients of our
advance? What shall be the char
acter of our leadership? These are
questions the answer to which our
Republican party must suggest and
our people must decide.
Everyone recognizes the vital ne
cessity for this Nation to advance
rapidly and effectively upon the
front OF national preparedness. We
need more than millions of men and
women willing to spring to the de-
fense of the country. We need the
physical and mechanical means of
answering the challenge of those
who seek to turn the great benefits
OF machine development into a me-
chanical Frankenstein of destruc-
ton.
We must develop our, air force to
take its place beside the Army and
the Navy. We need large quantities
OF the most modern aeroplanes and
anti-aircraft guns, the most mod
ern tanks and anti-tank guns, the
most modern ships and coast de-
fense. We need highly mobile
trained fighting units with bases
for air, water and land defense
