Symphony Proceeds
With Wafer Gate
Concert Plans
Programs to Be Given
Mondays and Thursdays.
Starting June 30

The National Symphony Orches-
ira Association today went ahead
with plans for its Sunset Sym
phonies" at the Water Gate after the
Musicians Protective Union had
agreed to accept the curtailed season
made necessary by a ruling from the
Office Of National Capital Parks.
The concerts will be presented
Monday and Thursday nights, be-
ginning June 30 In former years
they were given Sundays and We'd
nesdays.
The unions Executive Board, on
which largely hinged the fate of
the popular summer concert series,
voted yesterday for weekly salary
increases despite the five-week
season, which is all Parks Supt
Irving c. Root will allot to the
concerts.
H. A. Brooks, chairman of the
Orchestra Associations Summer
Concerts Committee, commented
that the union had showed the best
kind of cooperation" in accepting
the short season without weeks of
negotiations and arbitration.
Faced by a probable $4,000 deficit
since the summer series has not
been underwritten this year, the as
sociation had asked the union to
accept the same rate of pay per week
as it did last year. but for five weeks
instead of the eight weeks pay il
had last year and the six weeks pay
of previous years. Anything which
added to the expenses, such as q
salary increase for the musicians tc
make up for the shorter season
would jeopardize the concert, he
said.

Henderson Predicts
Years Defense Outlay
OF $4,000, 100000
Price Administrators
Figure Nearly Double
January Estimates
3, the Associated Press.

6y tne AsSOClAtcu fTeeS
Leon Henderson, defense price ad-
ministrator. predicted today that
the compulsion of events" would
increase defense spending during
the coming fiscal year to "at least
$4,000, 100000 and probably to
$40, ,000. 900 000."
This forecast, higher than any
previously made officially. was pre-
sented to the House Ways and
Means Committee in a discussion OF
the relation of proposed new
$500, 100000 tax program to the
big defense-war aid effort.
Budget estimates in January were
that defense costs in the next fiscal
year would be $4,000 100000.
Income Tax Plan Called Fair.
The price administrator expressed
agreement with the Treasury's new
revenue goal of $3,5OO,O0O,OO0 but
opposed excise levies on what he
classified as goods and services of
mass consumption" and on "lux-
uries" on the ground that they were
"deflationary and unnecessary"
At the same time he said that
the Treasury proposal for sitter
income taxes on lower and middle
income brackets seemed fair and
equitable although they may per-
haps be more drastic than is neces-
sary at the present" The Treasury
proposal would add a new and
higher system of income Surtaxes,
starting at IL per cent on the pres
ent bottom income tax bracket.
AS. counter proposal to the
Treasury's suggestion for excises on
goods. services and luxuries, Mr..
Henderson recommended greatly
stiffened impostS on such goods as
automobiles and refrigerators, which
he said compete very heavily" for
materials. productive facilities and
skills with defense production.
20 Per Cent Auto Tax.
Instead Of the Treasury plan to
boost the tax on automobiles to 7
per cent from the present 3i2 per
cent, Mr.. Henderson said he would
make the tax 20 per cent.
If new excise taxes on con-
sumers' durable goods are levied
according to the principles I have
suggested" he said, very probably
about 5000 900. 900 could be secured,
in comparison with the Treasury
proposal of only little over $780,
100000 from this class. and Of
$3.50 100000 for excise taxes of all
classes. I would then propose drop
ping increases on most other con-
sumers goods"

Dorothy Thompson Urges
War Footing for U. 5.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. May 7.-Dorothy
Thompson, colunnist, advocated
last night that the United States
'be put at once on a total war
footing, for our ability to avoid war
and resist capitulation will be ex-
actly commensurate to our strength,
as will be our ability to win the war
if it should come"
Miss Thompson, speaking at a
dinner in her honor, urged that
America mot make the mistake of
every other nation, in waiting toe
long. Let us demand for the Presi-
dent the power and authority COM
pletely to mobilize and organize the
economic and moral strength of this
country"
Miss Thompson called on Ameri-
cans to subscribe to 10 articles of
social faith" and create "a move
ment in America for defense and
reconstruction-not another COM
mittee, nor another party, but a
brotherhood of dedicated beings"

With Restraining Trade

Seeking to reduce defense con-
struction costs, Government suit
was on file today in District court
charging the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association has fos-
tered "a combination and conspir-
acy to restrain trade" from Octo-
ber 1, 1885, to the present
The civil suit contends that the
association, operating largely from
its Connecticut avenue headquarters
here, produces over 80 per cent of
the construction lumber used in
the United States through its re-
gional associations and affiliates.
1t asserts that the Sherman Anti
Trust Act has been violated by:
Curtailing and determining the
amount of lumber to be produced,
sold and distributed in interstate
trade and commerce.
Stabilizing prices for lumber sold
in interstate trade and commerce
at artificial, arbitrary. uniform and
non-competitive levels.
Adopting. promoting. maintaining
and enforcing arbitrary and unrea-
sonable rules, policies and practices
relating to the distribution and sale
of lumber in interstate trade and
commerce.
District Court was asked to enJoin
the acts complained of and decree
that the activities violate the Anti
trust Act The Government suit
mentions "others unknown to the
plaintiff" besides the association and
its affiliates.
The suit claims that the alleged
combination and conspiracy had
been carried out in part in the Dis
trict, as it was said many meet
ings, conferences, acts and deeds,
each comprising part of the COM
bination and conspiracy, had been
held, performed and committed here.
Filing the action were United
States Attorney Edward M. Curran,
Assistant Attorney General Thur

lta|y's Admiral Lais
Reported Freed by
British al Bermuda
U. S. Understood to Have
Interceded on Behalf
OF Ex-Attoche Here
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
British authorities at Bermuda
were reported today 70 have released
Admiral Alberto Lais, former italian
naval attache at Washington.
Secretary of State Hull declared
at his press conference today that
he thought Admiral Lais should be
freed and that the whole question
of his detention would be cleared
up soon.
Officials declined to say whether
the United States interceded to
bring about the release. But it was
understood this was done in fulfill
ment of the American Governments
promise of safe conduct for Admiral
Lais, whose recall was requested in
connection with the sabotaging Of
italian ships in American ports.
Admiral Lais was detained by
British authorities at Bermuda dur
ing his homeward voyage
1t was understood here that he
was now awaiting only transporta-
ton to continue his trip to Rome.
An earlier dispatch from Rome
said Admiral Lais' release was un-
derstood in reliable quarters there
to be in prospect through the media
ton of United States diplomatic
officials.
The British were said to have de-
tained Admiral Lais under the i'm
preston that the Italians were hold
ing Britains Minister to Yugoslavia,
Ronald Ian Campbell, a virtual
prisoner at Durazzo, Albania, after
taking hdm there from Rotor,
Yugoslavia.
With the Italians gradually bring
ing the British Belgrade Legation
staff from Albania to Italy, en- route
to Lisbon and London, the British
we're expected to allow Admiral Lais
to proceed to Italy.
italian authorities said they lacked
any official notification of the de-
tention of Admiral Lais and his re-
lease was expected to be arranged
without formal representations.
Nine members of the former Brit
ish Legation staff at Belgrade ar
rived in Rome today from Durazzo to
join 40 others waiting at the water
ing resort OF Ciano for transporta-
ton to Lisbon and thence to Eng
land.
The party will not depart until
the full staff of 1o4 is assembled.
Minister Campbell is expected to
arrive tomorrow or Friday.

New Nazi Operations
From Seized Greek
Islands Indicated &
Aseenduney by Air Force
Over British Fleet in
Mediterranean Claimed
By the Associated Press.

Dy Lnt hSSuCldltu FItSS.
BERLIN, May 7.-German com.
mentators declared today the Nazi
air force, operating from bases in
Greece, already had demonstrated
its ascendancy over the British
Mediterranean feet and limited at
possible new operations stemming
from the occupation of Greek is
lands In the Aegean.
Dispatches from the eastern front
said seizure of the islands of Les
boS and Chios-announced yesterday
by the German high command
had been accomplished without the
slightest interference by the British
Navy.
tReuters, British news agency,
said in London that German
seizure of the Greek island of
Samos, southernmost Greek is
land off the Turkish coast. was
reported reliably at Ankara, Tur-
key.)
German observers generally took
this as indicating that the British
recognized the superiority of the
Luftwaffe over the British Navy and
that they were unwilling TO expose
their Warships to devastating diye-
bombing attacks.
The well-informed commentary
Dienst aus Deutschland said German
military circles regarded the occupa-
ton of the Greek islands as "of the
greatest Importance" and declared
future operations in the Eastern
Mediterranean would be "decisively
influenced" through the possession
of these bases
Adolf Hitler's paper, Voelkischer
Beobachter, in a lengthy editorial
entitled England Will Fall" asserted
meanwhile that despite operations
in the Balkans and North Africa the
German high command had not-let
Britons forget for single day the
menace to their motherland.
The time is approaching, the
editorial said darkly, when England
will be unable further to escape the
final decision"

SfaIin Takes Over
Soviet Premiership
From MoIotov
Changes in Government
Leadership Greeted
By Moscow Papers
4y the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, May 7.-Joseph Stain
has assumed Soviet Russia's pre-
miership.
The change was greeted today in
the Soviet press with publication
OF huge portraits of the leader and
prominent display of the orders for
the cabinet shift by which he re-
placed Yvacheslav Molotov. But
there was no further explanation.
Both Pravda, the Communist
party paper. and Izvestia. the gov
ernment organ. printed the same
four column photograph of Stain
addressing military academy gradu-
ates Monday.
There was no comment beyond
that contained in the orders of the
presidium of the Supreme Soviet
putting Stain in open leadership
of the Soviet Union which he had
guided from behind the scenes as
secretary general Of the Communist
party.
NAOiOtVN
Molotov, Premier or chairman of
the Council of Peoples Commissars
for II years, continues in high posi-
ton as Commissar of Foreign At
fairs-the Office he took over from
Maxim Litvinov two years ago, only
a few months before the Soviet
German non-aggression pact was
signed.
Molotov, now so, was relieved of
the premiership at his own request,
declared communique circulated
today by Tass, official news agency.
It explained he had said repeatedly
that 1T is difficult for him to full
flll the duties of chairman of the
Council Of the Peoples Commissars
of the U. S. S. r. simultaneously
with the duties of the Peoples Com
nissar of Foreign Affairs"
He became, instead. vice chair
man Of the council and retained his
membership in the Political Bureau
of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party, compact execu-
tive organization.
Stain Moving to Fore.
Stain, secretary general of the
Communist Party since 1922. has
moved increasingly to the fore in re-
cent months. Twice during Yosuke
Matsuoka's visit here last month
Stain received the Japanese Foreign
Minister, who signed for Japan a
neutrality pact with Russia.
Twice. too, within the past month,
Stain has made speeches-after
more than two years in which he
made no published address,
In his last speech, Monday night,
he said the Red Army had been or
ganized and re-equipped in line with
modern military experience.
A hint that Molotov's star might
be descending was seen by some OBJ
servers last February when his wife
was dropped as candidate for the
Communist Party's Central Com
mittee.
A British radio broadcast heard
last night in New York recalled that
Molotov's replacement Of Litvinov
preceded sudden swing Of Soviet
foreign policy toward Germany, and
said now "a further change seems to
be Indicated"
Other sources in London, however,
commented, that "there has been
nothing IN recent official dispatches
from Russia to permit an assump-
ton that big changes are coming"

tage, Mr.. Hillman said.
Some prime contractors already
have discovered that they can turn
out more goods by subletting up
to 80 or 40 per cent of their work,
Mr.. Hillman explained, while other
contractors who might readily do so
have made no subcontracts at all.
Another major problem that ex-
pansion of defense production in
tails. he continued. is that of train
ing foremen and supervisors for new
workmen and new work shifts. This
is being done largely through in
plant training.
Mr.. Hillman praised the defense
vocational training program, which
soon will graduate its 1,00o000th
worker.
