on these that current influences
are seen to have set their mark,

Pan -Americon Union

The Pan-American Union con-
tinues its policy OF presenting Latin
American artists in single recitals,
afternoons being favored as giving
variety from the evening series when
the programs are shared by the
service bands.
On Friday afternoon at 5 O'Clock
the Argentine pianist, Maria Ines
Gomez Carrillo. will give a program
combining works of Bach. Brahms,
Chopin and those of Argentine COM
posers under the patronage of the
Ambassador Of the Argentine Re-
public, Senor Don Felipe Espil.
The young pianist is one of those
to benefit from the interchange of
opportunities following the adoption
of the good-neighbor policy. Last
year she was awarded a scholarship
by the Comision Nacional de Cul-
ture for study in the United States
and has devoted herself to interpre-
tation and composition under Steu-
ermann and Fitelberg. Arturo Ru-
binstein has been her adviser in
theSe matters.
Her career. which began at the
age of 7. has been watched with in
terest by prominent musicians of
her country. She has appeared
there extensively in concerts with
several appearances before the
WagnHrlan Association. a coveted
opportunity in Argentina. Two
years ago she was winner in a COM
petltlve contest conducted by the
Comlslon, but war conditions in
Europe prevented her availing her
self OF the study and recital tour

appeared as guest artist of the
National and Columbia Broadcast

Patterson Declares Strikes

Undesecretary of War Patterson
declared today that labor strikes
which tend to slow up or defeat the
purposes Of the defense program
cannot be tolerated"
He made the assertion at a press
conference in commenting on the
War Department effort TO avert
threatened five-State strike in the
aircraft industry.
He said he had received no re-
port this morning from Col. Roy NJ.
Jones, Eastern district supervisor Of
air procurement, who was dispatched
to the Bendix, N. j., plant of Air
Associates, yesterday to arrange
reinstatement Of strikers.
There is no question that strikes
defeat the defense program. We are
trying to avoid them whenever we
can. A strike is a very bad thing
for the progress of the program and
it should be recognized as such by
all concerned. They cannot be
tolerated" he declared.

in England only six weeks from the
beginning of the war to May, 194l.
He said Mr.. Coward left his busi-
ness in the hands of others and it
was a staggering blow" when he
was accused Of evading responsibility
and hampering the war effort by
living extravagantly when he should
have been contributing to the treas
ury.
He added that his client could not
pay large fine" This statement
was made before the levy of f22O
was announced.
Harold McKenna, the magistrate,
said the Coward transactions re-
suited in a loss to the Government
of fl1 900 approximately $4,000
but ut is only fair to say the loss
has not gone into Mr.. Coward S
pocket"
He said he was impressed by the
fact that Mr.. Coward had gone
abroad with the governments con-
sent with only fl0 (about s40) in his
pockets when sit was obvious that
he could not carry on with this s1O
only"
What Mr. Coward should have
done. Magistrate McKenna said,
was apply for more money and OBJ
tain official consent to use it instead
OF making use of his United States
assets which should have been of
fered to the government.
The prosecution made these ac-
cusations: -
1. Mr.. Coward failed to offer to
the treasury s57,847 in United
States currency.
q He sold, without the treasury s
consent, 100 shares Of American Can,
receiving 11,420.
3. He sold 100 Chrysler Corp.
shares without consent, receiving
$500, and 100 General Food Corp.
shares for $4,798.
The three charges were brought
In Bow Street Court. Two others
charging violation of the securities
regulations are pending at the Man
sion House.
The prosecution said it was fair
to point out that the money Mr..
Coward received in connection with
the second and third summonseS
was, in fact. paid into his account
and was included in the S57,847 cited
in the first summons.
1t was added that Mr.. Coward
had q balance in the United States
of some $3.50 at the beginning of

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 30.--A pos

The minerse awaited word from
the Washington conference of John

president, and his lieutenants, on
whether the union will accept a
proffered peace plan to end the
strike of $4,000 workers in the steel
mill coal mines.
P. T. Pagan, president of District
s, U. NJ. W., and William Hynes of
Uniontown, Pa, president of Dis

day to meet Mr.. Lewis.
Four Furnaces Closed.
So far the largest change in op-
erations reported was announcement
of the Carnegie Illinois Steel Corp,
largest subsidiary of the United
States Steel Corp, that 1t was clos
ing down four blast furnaces as a
result of the three-day-old strike.
The furnaces, which produce iron
that goes into steel tanks, armor
plate and guns, depend on coke
from beehive coke ovens, most OF
which are banked now because Of
the mine strike which cut off coal
supplies.
Closing of the furnaces, which
left 90 operating in the Pittsburgh
YOUNGSTOWN district, followed U. s.
SteeTs announcement Monday that
production in the area would be cut
20 per cent.
Others May Be Affected.
A spokesman for Carnegie said
other steel-making facilities soon
would be affected unless coal pro-
duction resumes operations are at
the Isabella Furnaces, Etna; Edgar
Thomson Works, Braddock; Du-
uuesne Works, Duquesne, and Mingo
