How Barden
Was Licked
Bill TO Educate Vets
Barred as a ShackIe
By DAVID eAMELON
Ds,roi, Time. Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, May 20 -
Here's the inside story of the
effort 10 shackle the veterans Of
this war in a web of federal
bureaucracy, and of how that at
tempt was smashed by the alert
governors of Americas still-sov-
ereign states.
II is the first chapter OF what
appears increasingly to be a con-
certed effort on the part OF New
Deal internationalists TO climb 10
new heights of world bureaucratic
control on the shoulders of Amer
ica's fighting men and women.
The first blow for the regimen
tation of G. Joe and Jane was
aimed at their freedom of oppOr-
tunity, and specifically at their
freedom of education. The man
who rules the schools rules the
ideas implanted in mems minds,
and may, sometime, be thus able
TO rule the men themselves.

The effort 10 shackle their

OF the Barden educational bill,

10 the American Legion's CT Bill
of Rights which passed the House
by the overwhelming margin OF

The Barden bill would have Gre

responsible: Frank Bane. execu-

director Of the governors confer

Bane told the governors that
the bureaucratic Barden bill was
"a states rights" bill. and de-

measure For a time. he pretty

perhaps IL is Madame 1lueenly. AC
any rate, she is supported by such
talented subjects as Victor Moore,
William Gaxton, Xavier Cugat and
Hazel Scott, to mention but a hand
full of her associates in this ambi-
tious enterprise. All told, "The
Heats On" may not be the answer
to Fuel Administrator Ickes' pray
ers, but it should satisfy those who
have been longing for the sight of
Mae West again. That's something,
If not much.
"The Heats On" as the title more
than intimates. is a typical Mae
West composition, kind of minor
triumph of matter over mind. 1t
is fundamentally a musical comedy,
generously spotted with songs and
dances and counterpointed with the
kind of gags that go with Miss Vests
style and wardrobe. The produc-
ton Is not on the elaborate side,
but Columbia and Director Gregory
Ratof have seen to it that every
thing IS adequate to Miss Vests art.
The book of "The Heats On" Is
another Of those dealing with life
backstage. 1t seems that there is
an ailing musical comedy, a thing
called "Indiscretions," in which Miss
West is the siren star, an actress
with hips and sultry voice. Hero
in the setup is William Gaxton, a
legitimate producer who pines legit-
imately for Miss West. The villain
is Alan Dinehart, another kind of
producer, who wants her for her
box-offlce attractiveness. Moore's role
is that Of kind of innocent
scoundrel, one in which he is less
funny than usual, almost as if he
were so surprised to find himself
In a Mae West picture that he could
not do a thing about it.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

When the famed -pianists,
Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson
give recital they manage to create
social atmosphere that contributes
considerably to the enjoyment OF the
audience. This was noted again at
their program Of yesterday after
noon presented in Constitution Hall
under the auspices Of Dorothy
Hodgkin Dorsey. The artistry of
this popular team never suffers any
stacking and their approach to each
program Is with the same unabated
zest. From the moment of their
entrance the graciousness and ease
Of both artists communicates itself
to the listeners.
What time ana thought the
lpianists have given to polishing their
performance is never evident or that
their playing has anything more
back of it than their own skill di-
rected by vivid temperaments. Their
poise and, at the same time, their
abandon, mask the keen analysis
OF a vast amount Of detail and the
command Of ensemble that dove
tails their respective parts into a
smooth and coherent whole. A kin
ship OF tonal quality is the founda-
tion on which the artists achieve
a brilliant variety OF color and
dynamics.
The program was disappointing
in some respects, for its main OBJ
jective seemed to be purely that
OF entertainment. The Bach
Mednikoff 'Fugue in G Minor" and
the Bach-Howe sheep May Safely
Craze" together with Milhaud's
suite "Scaramouche," represented
the most serious numbers. In the
two Bach arrangements the artists
managed to infuse a delicacy of
touch in their delivery that gave
a buoyancy to these two lovely
works. Milhauds suite is one Of
the most charming of his concep-
iions, compact in its structure and
adroitly contrasting in the moods
OF its three sections. In the un-
fettered ease Of the pianists' per-
formance and their deep apprecia-
ton OF its emotional content the un-
usual beauty Of this work was fully
realized.
Schumann's "Andante and Varia-
tions" and Chopin's "Rondo," per-
formed recently by another piano
team, gained in Bartlett and Rob-
ertson's Interpretation, especially
the Schumann, the tediousness Of
the rather cloying melody being
completely obliterated. The reso-
nant tone, sparkling technique and
ardent temperament of both players
were richly employed in the Scherzo
from Mendelssohn's midsummer
Nights Dream" Webers Motto
Perpetuo," the waltzes from Strauss
Die Fledermaus," de Falla's "Jota"
and LISTS Hungarian Rhapsody
No. D. the last four in Kovacs' ar
rangement for two pianos. The
Bartlett and Robertson arrange
ment of Granados' The Lover and
the Nightingale" completed this
pleasant program.
Sergt. Lawrence L. Whisonant,
baritone, returned to Howard Uni
versity, Of which he is a graduate,
yesterday afternoon to give a recital
particularly for servicemen, although
