Concert Association Announces
Series of Artists for Season


cert association takes great plea
sure in announcing its serles o.
concerts for the season as follows:
Bruna Catagna, contralto, Novem-
Der 10; Don Platoff Russian Cos
sack choir, December 20; Angel
Reyes, vionnist, Feb. 7; and Rob
ert Weede, baritone, April ID.
With completely sold-out house
and long waiting list, the Artist
committee had very favorable
BUDGET and was able to secure the
best of available talent. Member
ship cards will be received by the
Association secretary within a few
days, and as soon as they can be
made up, will be mailed out to
subscribers. All members are ask
ed to note the early date of the
first concert, November 10.
Bruna Castagna possesses one OF
the richest and most dramatic OF
.contralto voices of the present day,
and has sung top roles in the La
Scala in italy and Colon, as well
as in Teatro Municipal in South
America. She has been one OF the
leading contraltos o. the Metropoll-
tan Opera company for the past
nine seasons, and has been heard
often over the largest radio net
works.

has had repeated demands for
their re-engagement. The Russians
pres ent a varied program running
from the beautiful Liturgical mus
ic OF their church to grand finale
of brilliant dancing. Solo work is
also included on the program.
From the standpoint of popular ap-
peal, no presentation of the Con-
cert association has ever received
as universal acclaim.
Angel Reyes, violinist, is an at

Reyes has recently been the re-
c4lient of a $4,000 Stradivarius,
given to him by an American in

with his playing that he took this
means of showing his admiration.
Robert Weede, baritone, has
been for several years a leading
baritone with .both the San Fran
cisco and Metropolitan Opera COM
panies. His voice is large, with a
great range and beauty of tone.

agreed to demand revision OF the
price control law before an ex-
tension Of the act is voted.
The Republican program, as re
ported by steering committee mem

right OF court review and slashing
of red tape" in administration Of

so.
A group of Republican senator's
under assignment from Sen. TAFT,
Ohio. chairman Of the steering com
mittee, now is working on a series
of amendments to be offered TO
the extension measure.
While the Republican commit
tee agreed TO back continuation of
effective price control, members
insisted that the "dictatorial'
powers OF OPA and harsh penal
ties in the price control act be
modified.
The Republican committee is I'M
decided. however, on its attitude
on consumers food subsidies.
One proposal being considered
is that Congress definitely specify
in the price control act the subsi-
dies which may be used by the Ad-
ministration and that they be lim-
tied generally to subsidies to in
crease production.
President Roosevelt's latest
statement on the sterilization act.

May Shatter Calm
A House-approyed anti-poll tax
bill threatens TO shatter the Sen
ate calm and extension OF the
price control law, with its sub
sidy issue, may touch off another
long and bitter row, during the
next several months.
Republican House Leader Mar
tin said he did not believe II would
be possible for Congress to dis,

in time to adjourn for the COP

had been proposed. Martin sug-

meet July 10.
Some members are suggesting
that bills such as the income tax

until autumn TO help bring about
midsummer recess TO enable sen
ators and representatives to look
after their reelection campaigns.
Consider Filibuster
The Senate faces a possible tie
up in its legislative program
through filibuster against the
