Voters Called
In Whisper
Each Party Fears
TO Arouse Campaign
BY FRANK MORRIS

LANSING, March II - For
many years. voters have been
hearing about a political tactic
known as whispering cam
paign," and this year they have
the pleasure of actually witnes-
sing one.
1t is not a whispering campaign
in the sense that scandal is being
spread from willing ear to gabby
mouths. 1t is campaign in which
the candidates, If they speak at
all, are talking low-voiced TO
themselves.
Yet only three weeks remains
before a general election in which
some of the states most important
offices are at stake including that
Of highway commissioner.
LITTLE INTEREST
Only in Detroit does there APP
pear to be any interest at all,
and even there the public concern
is no greater than the worry over
the outcome of the contest among
barber shop quartettes.
1t is a perfect set-up for the
Democrats. Republicans are just
beginning to realize that they can
be knocked galley-west despite
the easy victory of their state
ticket last November.
But Democrats are aware that
if they can get out even 80 per
cent of the vote in Detroit in the
election April 2, they can sweep
h the state.
Democratic strategists hesitate
to arouse the Republicans by stag
ing a noisy campaign. Their
strategy has been TO work quietly

427.OOO AT POLLS

Two years ago, only AT 900 vot-
ers went to the polls in the spring
election. OF this total, 1l4,00O
were in Wayne.
Due to the war and the inactiv-
ity of politicians. the vote out
state will drop this year. Hence,
if the Democrats can get out 260,-
600 of the 100000 registered vot-
ers here, they can win.
Aware Of the danger, James w.
Lyons, the astute Wayne County
COP chairman, has launched an
extensive campaign to contact the
voters by mail.

Revival Seen

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 GNS)
Diplomatic quarters in Wash
ington raised the possibility today
that Russia may be seeking 10
break the deadlock of the five
power foreign ministers council in
London and TO revive the discus
sions.
Informed diplomatic sources
said this Interpretation might be
placed on the return 10 the Amer
lean capital of Soviet ambassador
Andrei Gromyko.
The reason behind Gromyko's s
return was said to be a plan to
discuss with President Truman
and Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes the questions which tied
up the recent abortive meeting OF
the foreign ministers council.
Moscow has been inclined tC
blame the London failure on lack
of preparation. II was believed
possible that Gromyko will offer
to agree on an agenda and the
precise points TO be discussed al
the next meeting.

The Go asked the Senate to-
day 10 scuttle the House tax re-
duction bill and substitute one
giving individual taxpayers saw
ings 7of $500. 100000 on income
and excise levies.
The union denounced the House
for reducing the corporate excess
profits tax and declared there is
mo justification" for repeating the
tax outright, as proposed by
treasury secretary Vinson.
The CIO recommended relief
for small business in the form of a
$1,000 exemption from the corpo-
rate income tax. lowering rates
below the 100000 net income
bracket, and permitting small
business 10 be taxed as partner
ships
In place of the House program,
the CIO proposed generally;
Repeal of "the grossly unfair"
three per cent normal tax. This,
the CIO said, would bring savings
of some two billion dollars for
conversion into added purchasing
power.
Boost exemptions for single in
dividuals to $1,000 and for mar
ried couples to $1,000. with $500
credit for each dependent.
Permit individuals. like corpo-
rations, to carry back and carry

Brazilian Soprano, Bidu Sayao,
Hailed by Capacity Audience

could relax and listen with pleasure.
She does not expend herself in
high power dramatics, either Of
Interpretation or vocal display, and
in this she is unique among artists.
Standing quietly and singing
quietly, she puts into her tones the
necessary color and feeling and this
is strong enough to take care Of
everything.
From the lowest to the highest
notes of her register, Mime. Sayao's
voice retains its sweet, pure quality
with the tones matching each other
perfectly. Its f1exibility is such that
fioritura passages are pearl-like in
their clarity yet its expressive
warmth is its greatest appeal Lovely
and the swelling of a
tone gradually to forte are her
specialities which she used with pro-
nounced effect several times during
the program.

who has been too long absent from

the seldom heard Air de l'Enfant"
from Ravel's "L,Enfant ct les Sor-
tileges" and the familiar "Chanson
Triste," by Duparc, formed varied
collection for an appreciation Of
Nine. Sayao's interpretive eloquence.
The lyric mood Of the recital was
set in the opening group where
Haydn's "She Never Told Her Love"
and Sympathy" and Scarlatti's
"Violetta" showed the elegance of
Nine. Sayao's style and the char
acter of her musicianship. In the

Final Recital
In Festival Held at
National Gallery
By ELENA DE SAYN.


The final recital of the Second
American Music Festival in the Ma
tional Gallery of Art under the di-
rection of Richard Bales gave an
opportunity last night to become
nine American composers the last
of whom on the program was the
unsurpassed march king John
Philip Sousa. 1t was a happy
thought on the part of the manage
ment to close the series with 1.-The
Stars and Stripes Forever" not only
because it is timely, but because
such music gladdens the heart and
spirit. Mr.. Bales and the members
Of the National Gallery Sinfonietta
lent a distinctive "Sousa" touch to
the performance of the march.
1t was interesting to compare the
works of the three graduates of
the Juilliard School of Music:
Charles Jones, whose Cowboy Song
had its first local performance,
Lehman Engel's Film Music No. l"
with its marcial beginning and re-
sounding apotheose and Frederick
Woltmann's Solitude" arresting for
Its beauty. Bernard Wagenaar, who
for the past 18 years has been on
the staff of the Juilliard Graduate
School, Is not stranger here, his
works having been performed on
all programs but one of the just
completed series. His "Fantasietta
on British-American Ballads" heard
here last night for the first time,
gives evidence of excellent crafts
manShip and consists of three short
numbers Beauty Bride" Jack
Monroe" and William How"
Drawing his inspiration from
three paintings in the Kress collec-
ton, Giorgione's "The Alteration of
the Shepherds" Veneziano's Saint
John in the Desert" and Watteau's
italian Comedians" Mr.. Bales pre-
sented his National Gallery Suite
No. 2" in three movements: "Passa-
caglia," "Interlude" and "Scherzo.
Georgiano's picture invites devo-
tional contemplation. The harsh
theme beginning with the wood
wind and repeated in every section
of the orchestra seemed contrary to
the serene impression the picture
evokes while the jolly "Scherzo,"
massive in structure, contained the
expected elements of buffoonery of
the baroque period
Mr.. Bales was not the only COM
poser who was called on to acknowl-
edge applause. Mr.. Engel and Jack
F. Kirkpatrick, whose Oklahoma
Sinfonietta" had its premiere were
the other two composers present.
The opening number on the pro-
gram was Harold Morris modern
istic Suite for Orchestra" heard
here for the first time.
Among compositions which had
most success with the audience was
A. Walter Kramers "Elegy," ar
ranged by Herbert Bangs, member
of the National Gallery Sinfonietta.

manner we are accustomed to asso-
ciate with Russian music of the COS. |

1t reminded me very much OF a
room had seen In the White House
when visited II some time ago
and around a table were seated
several fellows. playing p!nochle,
smoking cigarettes and cigars and
pipes, and having darn good time.
Those fellows-in my dream -
were IN shirtsleeves and some OF
them had their shoes off and .here
was beer on the table and the whole
atmosphere was one OF great gen.
iality and contentment and sim
plicity.
One OF the fellows-in my dream
looked very much like Harry Tru.
man. Another resembled Schwellen.
bach, still another Vinson, a fourth
looked exactly like Byrnes and a
fifth like Henry Wallace.
Suddenly a very excited chap, the
splitting image OF Bernard Baruch,
came rushing in and hollored: THE
house Is on fire. Hurry up or you'll
all burn up"
But these fellows only smiled.

Relief Of the Needy
These DaysS1ys sso 9"I e. So*oI5H

In . previous article | pursued a
usual error when | suggested that
Governor Lehmans task with
UNRRA is greater than Herbert
Hoover S was during and after the
last war. | suppose that | inyol-
unfairly assumed that everything
TODAY is larger than anything ever
was before. We speak OF billions
so readily and blithely these days
that one slips too easily into the
false notions that heretofore every.
thing was done on a smaller scale.
Actually, UNRRA has functioned
In few countries. According to Mr..
Lehman. UNRRA is now function
ing in Greece, Yugoslavia, Poland,
CEech3slovakia, Italy, Albania and
China-seven countries. II expects
to be permitted to operate in two
Soviet Russian provinces, the Tx
raine and White Russia-makinR q
total Of eight countries.
Herbert Hoover's relief organiza-
tons functioned in 20 countries:
Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Bull
garia, CZechoslovakia, Danzig, Dem
mark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Hungary. Italy, Yugo.
slavia, Latvia, Lithunania, Poland,
Rumania, Russia, Republican and
Soviet, and Great Britain.
Altogether, Hoover's organiza.
ton supplied, in the post-armistice
period. nearly 100000 metric
tons OF food. OF which the United
States supplied nearly $4,000, 600
metric tons. These figures do not
include the tremendous feeding and
reliet enterprises, including Bel
gtan relief, prior to the armistice.
1t Is interesting to note that Mr..
Hoover's organization was able to
make an agreement with Soviet
Russia for the feeding OF the
Russian masses who we're then
starving. The Riga Agreement, ne
gotiated upon the initiative Of
Maxim Gorky. was between the
Ameri. an Relief Administration, an
unofficial volunteer American
charitable organization under the
chairmanship of Mr.. Herbert HooV-
er, and the Russian Socialist Fed
erative Soviet Republic. II was
strictly American charity.
The first clause OF the agreement
Is interesting in view Of the sus-
picions of today:
First: That the ARA. may
bring into Russia such personnel as
the ARA. finds necessary in the
carrying out OF its work and the
Soviet authorities guarantee them
full liberty and protection while
in Russia. Non-Americans and
Americans who have been detained

Eighth: That the relief supplies
are inteLded for children and the
sick, as designated by the ARA.
...Rn1 remain the property of the
ARA. until actually consumed by
these children and the sick, and
are 10 be distributed in the name
OF the ARA.
Ninth. That no individual re-
ceiving ARA. rations shall be de-
prived o. such local supplies as are
given TO the rest OF the population.
"Terth: That they will guar.
antee and take every step to in
sure that relief supplies belonging
to the ARA. will not 20 to the
general adult population nor TO the

ployes but only to. -" children
and the sick without regard to
race, religion or social or political
status").
Eleventh: That Soviet authorities
undertake to reimburse the ARA.
in dollar1 at elf. cost or replace In
kind any misused relief supplies"
There were no monkeyshines IN
those days and no fear Of hurting
the sensibilities OF the country on
the receiving end. The object was
to care for the hungry and needy.
In this connection. ! wish to quote
Clause q OF the Riga Agreement
which is pertinent today when sol
diers tell OF switched labels on
goods sent from the American peo-
pie TO the needy OF Europe, new
labels being put on cans to give the
impression that the benefits come
from some other country or from
nowhere. The Riga Agreement
provided:
"Twenty-hrst: That they will &C.
quaint the Russian people with the
aims Ind methods Of the relief
work OF the ARA. In order to IA
cilitate the rapid development Of
its efficiency and will assist and
facilitate in supplying the Ameri-
can people with reliable and non.
political information OF the existing
conditions and the progress Of the
relief work as an aid in developing
financial support in America"
And that one about supplying
information is important at a time
when UNRRA objects to the pro-
vision that American reporters be
permitted to see what Is happen
ing to American charity.
