10000 Hear Symphony Speak
For Europe's Invaded Nations
Program of Water Gote Concert Musical
Reminder That Fight for Freedom Isn't New

The National Symphony Or
chestra spoke last night for the in
vaded peoples of Europe and 10000
people, gathered at the Potomac
Water Gate for the first Sunset
Symphony of the summer, heard the
message.
1t was a message of defiance and
of hope for the future. 1t was a
reminder that these countries had
arisen before from ashes of oppres-
sion. And it was touched with
nostalgia for the simple things OF
the past.
Once the message stook verbal
form. That was when DR.. Hans
Kinder laid aside his baton to
face the audience.
Il have had a few requests not to
play Finlandia tonight he said.
"One of those requests gave as a
reason for obvious reasons and
left it at that. will play Finlandia
tonight"
He spoke of Finland over
whelmed by lone of the two big
bullies" of Europe. He told of its
stolen land and it's opportunity to
make that land its own again.
The audience, which had ap-
plauded his decision to play the
Sibelius work, listened gravely as
he said that now Hitler proclalms
Finland as Germany's ally.
1t Amt Necessarily So.
But when Hitler proclaims some
thing. to speak in musical language
it amt necessarily So,' he went on,
and the crowd laughed.
The theology of Hitler is treach-
cry and tyranny" said the man
whose own native land was invaded
"The theology of Finland is one of
courage, honor and freedom. 1t !,
for that reason if for no other that
We will play this hymn to freedom by

Among the men and women who
listened there to DR.. Kindler's words
and the music that followed was

land.
The flags of the invaded countries
moved gently on ropes swung from
barge to shore, touched occasionally
by an orphan breeze in the sultry
night.
Atop the barge few the American
flag, spotlighted.
1t was as if the house lights had
winked out in a theater when DR..

D. T.. 'DomiciIe'
Question Bans
Estate Taxes
Morgan Rules Out
Collection From
Federal Worker

The controversial question of the
Sdomicile" of Federal employees liv-
ing in the District was extended to-
day to District estate and inheri-
tance taxes under ruling an
nounced by 10 V. Morgan. member
solo of the District Board of Tax
Appeals.
The question was settled in n
come tax cases by the ruling of the
Court Of Appeals to the effect that
Government employe maintain
ing voting residence in a State, even
though residing in the District, was
legally domiciled in the State and
therefore exempt from the District

James J. Sweeney, Justice Depart
ment emplOye, was based on pay
ment under the old intangible per-
sonal property tax, but was taken
to apply to the income levy which
now replaces the Intangible tax.
District Plans Appeal.
Expressing the belief that extern
sion of the Sweeney ruling to in
heritance and estate taxes may cost
the District a lot of money. AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Glenn
Simmon announced the District
would appeal Mr.. Morgans decision.
Mr.. Morgan's ruling announced
today involves taxes on the estate
of Charles F. Pace. former financial
clerk of the Senate. who died here
March "a, 1910. The tax appeals
chairman ruled against the District
making collections from the estate,
declaring that although Mr.. Pace
had maintained physical residence
here since 1918. he had voted in
Florida frequently if not regularly,
and sometimes by absentee ballot
in which he took oath he was
legal resident of the State.
Bound by Sweeney Case.
Had Mr.. Pace been a private in
dividual, Mr.. Morgan said he un-
quesionably would have held him
domiciled here but since Mr.. Pace
was a Government employe he felt
bound by the Sweeney decision.
The Supreme Court of the United
States, it is understood, will review
two cases probably next fall which
finally will settle the domicile ques-
ton.
Last year the District collected
more than S80O0O0 in estate and
Inheritance taxes.

the results disclosed in the report
which ]. Edgar Hoover. director 1i

vestigated. OF the 1872 kidnappings
since they were made Federal VIOLA
tons, 180 have been solved, while the
other two are under active investi-
cation. These are but examples tax
en- from the wide field of activity of
the FBI, which should be strong
deterrents to crime.
On the national defense angle, the
report says: "Since the outbreak of
war in Europe, there have been no
acts of sabotage in our country at
tribuable to foreign agents.
while operating on the amazingly
small sum, as government expendi-

Ready-And Then
Some

The railroads OF this country are
in better position to meet our
needs normal and abnormal-than
they ever were before. Even so, they
aren't sitting back on their laurels.
They are working to improve their
vast facilities.
For example-at recent meeting
of the Association of American Rail-
roads, methods of obtaining more
complete utilization OF available
equipment and the purchase of addi-
tional special type freight cars to
meet increasing demands of the ma
tional defense program, were the
principal topics of discussion. AL
though the peak movement of traffic
for this season has now passed and
larger supply. Of cars is becoming
available, the railroads are pushing
ahead with their preparations for
handling the heavier demands for
transportation that will come with
the development of the defense drive.
The lines are taking special precau-
tions to kee padequate supplies of
unusual types of equipment, such as
extra large box cars for carrying
government trucks, at strategic
points.
This is the kind Of industry that
American can count on. It repre-
sents private enterprise at its best.
1t doesn't wait for "edicts" from gov
ernment before it moves. It isn't
dominated by bureaucrats. 1t is sim
ply a private business with big job
ahead, and it is determined to do
that job without waste or delay. No
industry is more vital to the success
ful eonsummation of the national de-
fense program than the railroads,
and the railroads know it and are
acting accordingly.
The railroads began planning for
just such an emergency as this many
years ago, long before there was war
abroad and a total defense program
at home. They did that on their own
in full realization of their
duty to- be ready for anything that
might happen in the future. That
work is bearing fine fruit now.

Gardens For National
Defense

There Is one contribution that mil
lions of us can make this year to-
ward national defense preparations
and it will also mean substantial
savings in the family food budget
1t is the planning and planting Of
a home vegetable garden.
According to national gardening
leaders, the nations home garden
.ioutput this spring is expected to be
far under that of 1917, with only
about half as many gardening famil-
les now as then.
There are three points for you to
consider: Devote increased space to
vegetables in the coming season,
perfect plans so as to get the great
i'est possible yield from the space
available, and use quality seeds.
To increase the yield from vege-
table gardens of limited size, ex-
perts OF the Ferry-Morse Seed Com
pany, largest seed concern in the
country, say two major devices
should be relied on. First, compan-
ion cropping-the planting of fast
growing crops like radishes, spin
ach, and lettuce between, rows OF
slower-growing vegetables such as
tomatoes and cabbage. Second, sue
cession crOppingthe repeated plant
ing of major crops such as beans,
sweet corn, radishes, carrots, beets,
and lettuce. Moderate-size, new
paintings made at regular intervals
during the early part Of the season
win provide steady supply of fresh
vegetables until the seasons end.
Gardening improves the national
health in more ways than one. To
raise a good garden you must work.
Garden work takes you outdoors for
long hours in the sun and. fresh air.

American Doctors
Score Again

Paul de Kruif, noted bacteriolo-
gist, in an article in Readers Digest
draws attention to the efforts of Dr.
Tom Spies in lighting pellagra and
other deficiency diseases, at the Hill
man Hospital In Birmingham, Ala
hama. Ten years ago, DR.. Spies
shocked by the. high death rate OF
chronic famine victims, began his
work. Quietly he set out to find why
recommended diets" were not
enough to save the lives of persons
dying of starvation. What he found
was new gateway TO better civil
ization. Out of 1,729 victims of var
ious forms of chronic famine treated
at Hillman last year, not one died,
whereas a few years ago chemical
starvation killed nearly so per cent
of those hospitalized.
Through chemistery, DR.. Spies has
done more than discover quick, posi-
tive cures for pellagra and other
forms Of chronic famine. He has
clearly established the fact that lazi-
ness, nervous disorders, skin dis
eases, intestinal ailments, ETC., are
also often due to chemical deficiency,
and in the course of his work he has
identified those deficiencies and
learned how to restore the required
chemicals to the system
Research is in progress to discover
whether chemistry may solve the
riddle of why one person is old at
forty and another hale and hearty at
seventy. Other Investigators are
graphing with the problem of sup
plying a solution through chemistry
to the famine afflicted populations
that will overrun postwar Europe.
Unbelievable as the work of DR..
Spies and his colleagues may appear,
it is there for all to see. Countless
thousands are alive today; and
countless millions will live longer
in the future; thanks to the men OF
medical science. 1t is great trag-
edy that their work throughout the
world is periodically halted by social
strife. wars aud bitter political diff
erenees.
The outstanding achievements of
American medicine have been made |
possible under a government philo-
sophy which allows full play to the
talents of each individual. In re-
turn for these privileges inherent in
what we like to call the free enter
prise system, American medicine
gives prodigiOusly to all the people,
regardless of class. color or creed.
We should consider well and long
before making any fundamental
change either in this system or in the
institution of private medicine.

Ever-Present Shadow

There are a few people in this
country who don't have to worry
about fire. If, for instance, you live
In an abode house in the middle OF
a barren desert. fire holds few haz-
ards for you,
But for 999 people out of each
1000, fire is very real problem. 1t
is an eVer-present problem-fire
doesn't inform you. in advance where
or when it will strike. The shadow of
fire turks over every home and ev-
cry factory, "a hours a day, 1855 days
year.
Fortunately for our well-being
and peace of mind, that shadow can
be dissipated TO very great extent.
In home or business. a small list of
simple precautions will clip most of
fires claws. Heating plants, for in
stance, are among the most prolific
causes of fire. Your town has an ex-
pert mechanic who can examine
yours and make certain it is safe and
efficient. Exposed electric wiring is
still another major hazard-and
again an expert mechanic, through
periodic check-ups, can make it safe.
Improper storage of paints, cleaning
fluids and other infiammables, is
third great hazard-a hazard which
will disappear IL you see to it that
the liquids are kept in covered, air.
tight metal containers. Accumula-
tions of papers, magazines, old
clothes and similar junk, is a fourth
hazard-all you have to do is call
the rA bottles-and-sacks vendor.
If you live in the desert far from
other habitation, in a mud house, and
depend on the sun for heat. don't
worry about fire. But If you live else
where, start to work banishing the
hazards now.
