Mr.. CreSton obviously doesn't

who write a symphony because
somebody left a tuba lying around
the house.
He has a definite pattern which
he works out with expert crafts

although at times one feels that
he's been too careful and that a
little more harmonic spontaneity
would be appreciated.
However. it's a work we should
decidedly like to hear again.
The final orchestral selection
was the Suite of three dances from
Manuel DeFalla's Three Cornered
Hat" which the orchestra did with
such verve, almost as though all
the members were swept away by
those haunting rhythms and sway
ing Latin melodies.
ROBUST AND ROTUND
The soloist. as we've said, was
Salvador Baccaloni, operas Mr..
Five by Five" basso who is as
rotundo as he is profundo.
This is the first time we have
heard him in concert, but so far
as acting is concerned he might
lust as well nave been on the Met
stage.
He grimaced, he gestured, he
sang 10 the men in the orchestra
and he delighted every member OF
the audience.
A master Snowman, Baccaloni
capered through Don Baslllo S
aria. la Calumnia," from The
Barber of Seville" in which he
described how a breath Of gossip
can turn into a storm Of derislon
so graphically we howled.
BASSo BUFFOON
The same thing happened with
Bartholos scolding La Vendetta
from Mozarts The Marriage OF
Figaro" and when he finally came

Mr.. Dionne said that the quin-

know all about Washington and
Jefferson and about Lincoln, too"
He added that the girls were the
proud owners of United States War

A famous father came to WASH
ington yesterday not to talk babies,
but to talk ships. And he talked
both.
Olivia Dionne, father of IL chill
dren, S of whom are the famed
quintuplets, Yvonne, Annette, Cecile,
Emile and Marie, conferred yester-
day with Rear Admiral Emory S.
Land, chairman of the Maritime
Commission, on plans for christen-
ing of the "Quint Fleet'-five Lib
erty ships which will be launched
May 9 by the Walter Butler Co. at
Superior Wis.
The five ships will be named for
the oulnts and each of the girls per-
sonally will break bottle of Lake
Superior water on the prov of one
OF the ships in the christening cere-
mony.
Mr.. Dionne, who looks like a busi-
ness executive rather than a dirt
farmer" which he likes to be called,
sat in his Mayf1oWer Hotel suite last
night and deplored the publicity to
which his daughters were subjected
while they we're in the custody of the
Canadian government. The quints
now are legally in the control of
their parents.
MY daughters tMr Dionne never
refers to the famed five as quints)
are only now beginning to live nor
NAL, happy and private lives. The
excitement which attended them at
every turn during their first years is
giving place to the quiet pursuit of
studies that will fit them for a place

Hull Denies Trade pacts
Contribute 10 War
BY the Associated Press.

Aos 'iC hSSOCldttu PRESS.
Secretary of State Hull. denying
hotly that reciprocal trade pacts
contribute to war, said yesterday he
would label the charge 100 pei
cent piffle if anybody but a Con-
gresham had made it.
Mr. Hull told a House committee
Monday that Representative Gear
hart, Republican. of California, was
headed straight down the gulch
of extreme nationalism" with his
contention that other nations had
taken undue advantage of the treaty
program. Yesterday the Secretary
discussed at his press conference
Mr.. Gearhart's later statement that
instead of promoting peace. this
program has contributed to war"
The record shows. Mr.. Hull said.
that Germany began early in the
1930's to rob every foreign nation of
any properties and monies inside
Germany, beginning by the seizure
of about $1,200,00000 900 of American
holdings.
Germany always had the oppor-
tunity to resume the role of an
honorable nation, he commented,
but had done every imaginable vio-
lation to any idea of fair treatment
among nations
Mr. Gearhart is member of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, now considering legislation to
extend the treaty program beyond
its June expiration date. He has
accused the State Department of
"encircling Hitler" by writing
treaties with surrounding countries.

ID. c. Must Find Agency to Pay
For I temporary Soldiers Home
Committee Includes $17,67 in Budget,
But Says Another PIon Will Be Sought

The District government was con-
fronted today with the problem of
finding "a proper Federal agency
for financing of the Temporary
Home for Soldiers and Sailors,
maintenance of which has been in
cluded in the 1914 District appro-
priation bill reported to the House
yesterday.
In asking for 1875 for the home,
the committee report said that while
possibly the maintenance of the
institution is not proper charge
against the District" it added that
1t has the assurance of the budget
officer walter L. Fowler that an
effort will be made toward some
other arrangement whereby the cost
OF the institution will be transferred
to the proper Federal agency"
Mr.. Fowler, who admitted today
he was puzzled as to why the Dis
trict should solve the problem, said
if Its up to us we will, of course,
try to solve it." He said that he
had no plans at the present mo-
ment.
1T naturally belongs to the Fed
eral Government" Mr.. Fowler de-
clared. 1T shouldn't be in the Dis
trict government"
No Estimate Submitted.
No estimate had been submitted
for this fiscal year by the District
Commissioners, who told House
subcommittee that they had cut the
item because I'VE decided that we
should not pay for it
The item was first included in the
District budget for the fiscal year
1894, when $4,000 was appropriated
for the then Temporary Home for
Soldiers and Sailors, Grand Army of
the Republic.
In his testimony before the COM
mlttee Commissioner John Russell
Young explained that the building
belonged to the Federal Govern
ment.
1T has nothing to do with the
District he added They are not
District people"
During the hearings in March,
Watson B. Miller, representing the
American Legion, revealed that in
the last five years only AL men from
the District had gone to the home

SIote-G Gray Working Uniform
Designed for Naval Officers

Secretary of the Navy Knox yes

ing uniform, slate gray in color. had
been designed for officers of the
Navy.
The new uniform will supplant the
khaki which has been used as a
summer working uniform for more
than a year. However, officers will
be permitted to wear the khaki for a
certain transition period governed
by the time required to supply the
new cloth. A date on which all Off
GERS must wear the new uniform is
to be fixed later.
At the same time. the Secretary
announced specifications governing
a similar working uniform for chief
petty officers will be set. Naval Off
clals are also working on a uniform
similar in color for the enlisted per-
sonnel.
The change was brought about
primarily to provide a uniform which
would be less conspicuous than the
present white and khaki outfits, par
ticularly for officers serving aboard
surface vessels. The khaki uniform,
1t was explained, made officers con-
spicuous to the enemy during air
attacks on ships.
The new coat will be similar in
design to the present khaki except
that the lower patch pockets will be
smaller in size and the buttons will
be OF blue-black plastic The shoul-
der marks will be of a flexible mate

braid and black embroidered insig-

corning veterans services. He said
that for many years the home was
conducted at the expense Of the
Grand Army of the Republic and in
later years with the help of several
veterans organizations, such as the
American Legion, Veterans of For
eign Wars. the Disabled American
Veterans and the Spanish War Vet
Grams.
Asked if these organizations still
contribute, Mr.. Miller told the COM
mlttee that the time came when
the cost became too great to be
handled by the veterans organiza-
tlonS,' but that "the veterans or
CARNATIONS contribute services.
which, in terms of dollars, amount
to great deal, because we have
the Rehabilitation Committee of the
American Legion and similar COM
mlttees maintained by other or
ganlzations to help these people"
In regard to the position of the
commissioners that maintenance
should be a charge of the Federal
rather than local government, Mr..
Miller declared:
I'VE have no quarrel about that
With the Commissioners of the Dis
trlct OF Columbia. l think from
their viewpoint they have taken a
fairly sane position There would
be very little reason for veterans from
the District of Columbia being given
temporary care and assistance"
Consideration Promised.
Il am not sure" Chairman Mahon
observed, that this charge should
be against the District of Columbia.
but we will consider the matter fully
and do the best we can after COM
plete consideration"
Mr.. Fowler told the committee
that lin accordance with my policy
l have suggested to the Commits
sioners that these estimates that
could not be justified as charges
against the taxpayers be eliminated :"
Explaining that he had discussed
the matter with a member of the
committee, Mr.. Fowler added:
80 1t seems to me if YOU could
grant us some time in these in
stances SO that we could work out a
method whereby some other depart
ment could take it over in future
years, that might work out. 1t is
