Attorney General Removed
From Puerto Rican Post
BY the ASSociated PresS.

BY the ASSOclAteo f[ess
President Roosevelt has removed
George A. Malcolm as attorney gen.
eral of Puerto Rico and a member of
Congress declared yesterday the ac-
ton stemmed from clashes with the
policies of Gov. Rexford Guy Tug
well.
Neither the Justice Department
nor the President would discuss the
reasons. The department said mere
ly that the Office is filled by the
Chief Executive and can be vacated
by him without explanation.
At his press conference, Mr..
Roosevelt told a questioner that he
had better ask Attorney General
Biddle if he wanted details. The
Attorney General made no comment.
A department attache said Mr..
Malcolm had been requested to re-
sign but refused. The post than was
vacated.
Attributing the order to discord
over the policies of Gov. Tugwell,
Representative Crawford, Republi-
can, of Michigan declared that with
drawal of Mr.. Malcolm would mean
the loss Of the greatest career man in
the insular departments of the Gov
ernment.
"He couldn't agree with Tugwell
and one of them had to co." Mr..
Crawford said.

music is rapidly disappearing" he
seid.
Mr.. Heifetz revealed that the de-
mand for classical records at service
camps far exceeds that for popular
music. He attributed this to the fact
that many soldiers and sailo.s had
never before been subjected to ccod
music and, therefore, didn't ~ lily
know whether or not they likeu it.
The results of his tours, he said, are
definitely encouraging.
Reminded that lover There" was
written by George M. Cohan the day
war was declared by the United
States in 1917, and that no COM
parable song has been written for
the current war, Mr.. Heifetz de-
clared that such stirring anthems
don't come very often. He indicated
that Praise the Lord, and Pass the
Ammunition" along with Der
Feuhrer's Face" offered some posi-
bilities.
Mr.. Heifetz was greeted last night
by Hans Kinder, conductor of the

Heifetz Arrives for Concert
After Tour of Army Camps
Violin Virtuoso
To Appear With
Symphony Tonight

This war hasn't produced any
music that can compare with that
which came out of the First World
War, Jascha Heifetz, noted violinist,
conceded when he arrived in town
last night. But there's reason.
There's marked difference be-
tween the way this country entered
the war last time and the way we
got into the present conflict, he said.
In 1917, Mr.. Heifetz pointed out, the
United States joined the Allies in a
spirit of jubila ton. This time. after
the shock of Pearl Harbor, Ameri-
cans were sad and serious. he said,
and music can only reflect the at
titude of the people in whose midst
it is written.
Mr.. Heifetz, who contributed his
aluminium violin to the scrap drive
more than a year ago, will be the
featured artist with the Washington
Symphony Orchestra at Constitu-
tior Half tonight. He viii play
Mozart's Concerto in D Major" and
for the first time In this city,
Paskof1eff's Second Concerto"
Touring Army Camps.
Mr.. Heifetz, who is one of the
organizers of the American Guild of
Musical Artists, has not exactly been
"fiddling while Rome burns" He
has been fiddling, all right, but for
the benefit of service men in camps
throughout the country.
Il am interested chiefly these
days. he said, ''in doing what I
can to help. For me, that means
giving concerts-not only for serv-
ice men, but for everyone. I sup
pose you would say that comes
under morale"
The remarkable thing about play
ing for soldiers though. Mr.. Heifetz
finds, is that they actually like
classical music.
They discover" he said, that it's
not so highbrow as they thought.
Music is becoming to many people a
necessity rather than a luxury"
Popularity of Classics Rising.
The virtuoso pointed out that
great music today is not merely en-
tertainment but escapism for the
great multitudes.

Transit Probers
Study Widening
OF PUG
Jurisdiction Over
Nearby Federal
Property Proposed

A proposal that the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission be given
jurisdiction over all utilites-gas,
electricity, telephone and mass trans
portation services-in Federal Gov
ernment-owned areas In nearby
Maryland and Virginia, will be con-
sidered by the special Senate SUBJ
committee investigating Washing
tons wartime transit and traffic
problems, it was announced today;
by Chairman Burton.
The plan, it was said would em-ll
power the PUG to regulate utility,
rates and services to Government
buildings in Suitland and Bethesda.
Md, and those in nearby Virginia, !,
including the huge Pentagon Build
ing, which is expected soon to have
population of 10000. \
Senator Burton said the idea for
such broad control by the PUG Of
the utilities serving Government.
buildings contiguous to the District
in Maryland and Virginia was first
suggested by Gregory Hankin, a.,
member of the PUG.
"The idea is thoroughly funda-
mental" he said, land will have to
be explored and studied" I
Await McCarran's Return.
The subcommittee is not expected
to tackle the subject until early in
December, following the return to
washington of Chairman McCarran
of the Senate District Committe,
who already has made sveral legis-
lative moves to have F'ederal-owned
property in nearby Virginia placed
within the geographical boundaries
of the District.
Senator Burton said his subcom-
mittee also would consider at the
same time suggestions that the
Washington & Old Dominion Rail-
road resume passenger service on it's
line from Rosslyn to Purcellville,
Va, to provide transportation for
Government workers living in
Arlington and Fairfax Counties. The
railroad now devotes it's service en-
tirely to hauling freight.
The subcommittee concluded two
phases of its inquiry yesterday
afternoon after continuous session
of more than four hours. The first
related to efforts to get the transit
companies serving the Pentagon
Building to work out uniform rate
of fare. Senator Burton predicted
\ negotiations now underway probably
will end in an early settlement.
The second concerned public safety.
particularly as it related to the OPP
Grafton of such mass transportation
vehicles as streetcars, buses and
taXicabs.
A definite date for resumption Of
the subcommittee inquiry has not
been set. but Senator Burton said it
would be after Thanksgiving"

zoning Powers
For Planners
Being Studied
Shift Of Authority
Weighed as Move to
Speed Results

The Budget Bureau has under
taken study of the powers and
authority of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, with
q view to possible expansion of its
work, which would include many of
the executive duties now carried out
by the District Zoning Commission
The planning commission has had
influence in its advisory capacity
In many different directions in the
District Of Columbia for years. But
there have been those who felt that
Its ability to implement it's proposals
was severely limited, so that often
times its suggestions fell by the
. 'wayside. or we're delayed for many
years in accomplishment, because
some other agency was charged
with the business of execution.
Delano Originated Idea.
The study is the direct outgrowth
Of suggestions made to President
Roosevelt sometime ago by Frederic
A. Delano. who recently relinquished
the craftsmanship of the planning
commission. It Is understood to
touch on all agencies whose work
Is identified with that of the plan
ming commission, and it was said
today that some tentative conclu-
sions have been reached and taken
up with the establishments con-
cerned prior to the formulation of
definite recommendations.
In connection with the suggested
Incorporation of zoning commission
functions in the planning body, it
was said that this might involve
shifting of control over new real
estate development.
The Fine Arts Commission is an
other group which might logically
be expected to be affected by any
general reorganization plan, it was
said at the Budget Bureau.
Setup Called Cumbersome.
In suggesting the revamped setup,
Mr.. Delano told the President that
the original scheme of park and
planning commission probably was
the best that could have been de-
vised when it was set up Is years
ago, but at best it was a somewhat
cumbersome piece of machinery
aimed to accomplish coordination
between District committees of
Senate and House, the Commits
sioners and other groups.
He pointed out. for example, that
there has been no direct tie-in with
the Commission of Fine Arts, with
the Bureau of Public Roads or with
the Bureau of the Budget"
Mr.. Delano oommented further
that mot unnatural criticism had
come from the District government
because of the fact that while the
Planning Commission was au-
thorized to do the planning here,
it was up to the District to find
the money to execute the plans.

Often Slept on Premises.
Because Ewing supervised work on

necessary for him to keep late hours
to compile records, Attorney Smith
told the jury. He frequently slept
on the premises and as the janitor
was off on the night before the al

Ewing to make minor repairs for

no time on that night did Ewing
completely disrobe, the attorney told

BroziIion-U. S. Rubber
Corporation Formed

Formation of a Brazilian-Un
States rubber corporation to meet
this country's growing wartime
needs and to provide a perpetual
rubber supply that will make the
United States less dependent on
East Indies sources Is being ar
ranged in Washington, Arthur De
Souza Costa, Brazilian finance min
lister, disclosed yesterday.
The amount Of capitalization and
the organiSational structure are
now being worked out. Mr.. De Souza
Costa said after a conference with
Federal loan off1cials. The rubber
would come from the vast Amazor
basin.
The corporation would be set ur
as a long-term organization; not
as stop gap" move to meet the
present critical rubber situation.
Undersecretary of State Welles
has disclosed that the Brazilian
mission does not seek any new
loans. Instead, it seeks expedi-
ton of loan commitments already
made. These undisbursed loans To
Brazil total approximately $66 ,O0O,- :
600. of which SOS. .000, 900 is ear
marked for the Bank of Brazil and
which could be diverted to rubber
development.
