Sir Henry Wood, Is,
Concert Conductor
For 50 Years, Dies
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-Sir Henry
Joseph Wood. rs, British maestro
whose aim was "democratizing the
message of music" died today before
he could see an orchestral hall
which a grateful nation was sub
scribing to honor his so years with a
baton.
An attack of jaundice forced him
to bed early this month. He never
recovered.
Flying bombs robbed Sir Henry
of the triumph of conducting the
1914 promenade concert series which
he inaugurated in 1895. The series
golden jubilee opened in June with
the musician on the stand, but the
robots soon forced the orchestra into
protected studios.
The conductor with the massive
beard, always pressing the classics
to new popularity with the masses,
was a favorite in America as well
as England. On several visits to the
United States he conducted in Holly
wood Bowl and Boston. After long
consideration he refused an offer
in 1918 to become conductor of the
Boston Symphony.
Sir Henry was born March 3,
1869. At 6 he was a musical
prodigy, playing the works of
Mozart, Haydn and Bach. He
learned virtually every orchestral
instrument as a student at the
Royal Academy of Music.
He composed under the name of
Paul Klenovsky." Later he ex-
planned that he took the name
because he believed composers with
foreign-sounding names were &C
corded higher praise than Eng
lishmen.
Sir Henry said American audi
ences were colder than British be-
cause they were not given to profuse
applause, but he praised their con-
cert manners as the worlds best.
He liked the competition of Ameri-
can radio networks, which he con-
sidered superior to Britain's.
He was knighted in 1911.

Mrs. Clara McCracken, Fairfax
County resident who was given two
weeks to dispose of 80 grown dogs
following her conviction August
in County Trial Justice Court on
cruelty to animals charge, has not
yet located homes for 25 of the pets
She is due to appear in court to-
morrow for sentencing.
Judge Harry L. Carrico, who
granted the suspension to allow
Mrs. McCracken to dispose Of her
dogs. indicated yesterday that he
might be willing to extend the time
limit when the case comes before
him at 10 am. tomorrow because of
a misunderstanding which has
arisen over the disposal of the
animals.
Judge Carrico said Mrs. McCrack-
en- told him Friday that she had
been told by officials of the Animal
Welfare League of Arlington. the
organization that brought the
cruelty charges, that under the
court order she was not to dispose
of any of the dogs without theil
consent. The league, it was pointed
out, was merely suggested as ar
aid in the disposal of the dogs.
Mrs. Paul Twyne, president of the
animal welfare league, said last
week that three dogs-two grown
animals and one puppy-which were
taken following the trial, had beer
destroyed because of their physica
condition. Three other puppies
taken for placement last Sunday
by the league also were destroyed
after it was found they had mango
and rickets. Mrs. Twyne said.
Mrs. McCracken said yesterday
that she will appeal her conviction
IF I can find the money" She sale
an appeal would allow her time tc
dispose of a part of her dogs "the
way I want to-"
In addition to the Is adult ami
mails, representing a general mix
ture of breeds, Mrs. McCracken has
two litters of puppies for disposal
In one litter are four Daschuno
puppies about month old, and an
other litter of six fox terrier pup
pies are about two weeks old.
Declaring that she knows ]
should get rid of part of my dogs
Mrs. McCracken said she would like
to keep 10 or II of the pets she
has had for a number of years
She said she would like to have
time to sell the others and "at
least get some money out of them
or get them in good homes"
Mrs. McCracken said the welfare
league officials did not tell her the
three dogs had been killed. She
charged that when they returned on

Government HOUSING
Hit as Tax Burden
Al Southeast Council

A resolution urging Congress not
to grant additional funds to the
National Capital Housing Authority
and to order the sale of present pub
licly owned properties to private in
terests was referred to a special
committee for redrafting after an
hours discussion last night by men,
bers of the Southeast Council of
Citizens Associations.
This action was taken after John
j. Watson of Anacostia Citizens
Association who introduced the res
olution, outlined the extra tax bur-
den that will be assumed by owners
of private property" to maintain
Government housing subs dies to
loW-income groups.
1t was the sense of those present
that, while they agreed with the
principle embodied in the resolution,
1t needed clarification and more
temperate treatment before being
presented to Congress as expressing
the views of representatives of IS 900
citizens of Southeast Washington.
Named to Committee.
Named to the Redrafting Commit
tee were President w. J. Smith, Mrs.
c. H. Hagerty, secretary; Joseph H
Deckman, chairman of the councils

of Anacostia Citizens Association,

the District Leader, remarked it is
seldom smart to tell congressman
they are a bunch of dumb clucks;
they like to be told it is impossible
to pull the wool over their eyes"
Mr.. Deckman, terming public
housing plans vicious" said Gov
ernment ownership of more land
and buildings means a new form
of Government through the back
door, sitting to private enterprise
and totalitarian in principle.
LoW-income housing is based on so
