impetus, the opportunities here have
been increased by the influx of many
of Europe's best musicians and
teachers of music as a result of po-
litical upheavals In the Old World,
he points out.
Radio has been a big factor In
spreading knowledge and apprecia-
ton Of good music in this country,
Renardy believes, and it is where
good music is appreciated that good
musicians develop and thrive.
His concert here this afternoon
concludes Renardy's third concert
tour across this country and Canada.
He will 60 from here to New York
to make recordings and has not
completed plans for the summer.
No Stranger to Capital.
He is not stranger to Washing
ton music lovers, having appeared
last summer as a soloist at one of
the National Symphony Orchestra's s
Water Gate concerts. He was such
a success then that he Immediately
was engaged for today's appearance.
For his solo number this after
noon, he has chosen Tchaikovsky's rs
violin concerto in D major.
Ossy Renardy was born Oskar
Reiss, but adopted the former name
when he made his musical debut in
Italy and was informed that an
Italian name would go over" better
with his audiences there.
His genius for the violin has been
developed by only one teacher
Theodore Pashkus, who had q studio
next door to the Reiss home when
Ossy was 1 years old. Mr.. Pashkus
now is in this country, too, and by a
coincidence is in, Washington. For
eight years, Mr.. Pashkus taught the
talented child in Vienna before
putting him before the public.
His debut in Italy in 1888 was the
prelude to a continuous round of
concerts throughout Europe before
he came to the United Etates.

candidate for the Republican pres

night voters faced a choice of re-
turning the Republican party to
power or risking the chance that
"the next great New Deal expert.

Concluding a two-day speaking

Taft made clear in q speech his
belief in policy of military isola-
ton.
THE sentiment of our people Is
for peace" he said, that was proved
in the case of the arms embargo
issue last fall. The Senate has

Roosevelt Delegates

New Hampshire Man
Detected in Primovy

Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ROCHESTER,, N. H., March 23.-
Former State Representative Ru.,
dolph G. Cartier, defeated In the
March IL primary for Democratic
National Convention delegate pledged
to the President, charged tonight
that New Hampshire's delegates
pledged to Mr.. Roosevelt were, in
reality, for Postmaster General
Farley.
Mr.. Cartier, who asserted he was
defeated by the Democratic ma
chine" whose leaders "are and have
been for many years under the con-
troll Of Mr.. James A. Farley" said
the eight delegates at large and four
district delegates would do every.
thing possible to discourage Presi.
dent Roosevelt from seeking q third
term.
Three candidates pledged to Mr..
Farley ran well behind the Roosevelt
slate In the primary
Every Farley man in this State
knew my position" Mr.. Cartier said
in statement. "They knew would
stay by Roosevelt to the end, and
that I would do everything possible
in my power to have him seek an
other term. They knew that should
Roosevelt decline . would be
for Hull SIS second choice"
Mr.. Cartier said he was against
Mr.. Farley because the latters re-
ligion would mean "a repetition Of
the election of 1928 and for the
Democrats to nominate him would
mean that they are tossing in the
sponge and electing a Republican
President"
Mr.. Cartier also charged that the
religious issue caused the defeat Of
Gov. Francis P. Murphy, a Catholic,
as a delegate to the Republican con.
vention.

he will carry about 136 In clips and

Read this" said Gen. Reckord,
tossing over a copy of the Infantry
/ Journal. In it was an article writ
ten by Maj Gen. George A. Lynch,
chief of Infantry, United States
Army.
Gen. Lynch said: "The fact
further is that the individual SOL

function of the amount Of am
munition he can carry rather than
of the rate of fire of his weapon
The soldier armed with the MI
(Garand rifle has a fire power

HE has to pack his own. If he
expends 1t uselessly his gun Is out

Possible significance attaches to
the lowering Of qualification scores
by the Marine Corps battalion US
ing the Garand rife. In the late
summer of 1899, says the Leather
neck, Marine Corps publication,
qualifying standards of marksmen
using the Garand rifle were lowered
from scores of 1896 out of 440 to 378
out of 440. This. according to the
publication. had the effect Of cost
ing marines who had equaled the
qualifying standards loss of marks

Qualifying standards for the
Springfield rife were not changed.
