A Notable Season

The opening this afternoon, with
a concert in Constitution Hall, of
the National Symphony Orchestra's
fifteenth season Is noteworthy
mark in the life of an organization
which has become increasingly i'm
portant in the cultural life of Wash
ington. Since its establishment, in
the face of difficulties which would
have meant defeat for less deter
mined group of sponsors, the or
chestra has grown in number OF
musicians, in prestige and in the
variety of its undertakings. Some
forty-f1ve concerts will be played In
Washingtfn this season, including
the regular Sunday afternoon and
Wednesday evening series, the
school concerts and several special
performances, such as the ballet
series and, in April, Beethoyen's
Ninth Symphony" with chorus. But
an even more ambitious program Of
out-of town concerts has been ar
ranged. The orchestra, beginning
this week, will open its fourteenth
series in Baltimore. After a trip to
New Jersey for two concerts in No
vember, the orchestra will go on tour
in New York and New England In
December for ten concerts. In
February, for the first time, the
orchestra is taking an extensive
Southern tour as far south as Sa-
vannah, with shorter Southern
tour in March and another trip into
Maryland and Pennsylvania later
that month. Thus, in addition to its
advancing claims on Washington,
the orchestra is making itself better
known outside of Washington. In
this policy of constant search for
broader fields of activity, Mrs.
Walter Bruce Howe and DR.. Hans
Kinder have furnished a type of
leadership, in different roles, which
makes the difference between sue
cess and failure. With the loyal
support of the orchestra association
and the increasing patronage of
Washingtonians, the orchestra is
building the foundations for a future
which will secure it's place as an in
stitution of the National Capital.

British Tax Program

The tax reduction proposals con-
tanned In the British Labor govern
ment's budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning next April provide for cuts
ranging from 10 per cent In the
higher income groups to so per cent
in the lowest bracket, applicable to
the regular tax rates. At first glance
these figures may suggest drastic
slash, but actually the program Is a
conservative one aimed at the two
fold objective of stimulating recon-
version and checking imitation.
Under the proposed reductions g.
100000 persons would be exempted
entirely from the individual income
tax and there would be an estimated
loss Of revenue of 1928, ,00o,0 900. As
an offset to this, however, there
would be an end to the practice Of
giving postwar credits to taxpayers
for part of their tax. AS extended
during the war, these credits-a
form OF compulsory savings-have
really amounted to an obligation as
sumed by the government. BY doing
away with them in the new budget,
a saving of about $1,000 100000
would be effected, thus largely bal
ancing off the revenue loss, which
would be further reduced by an in
crease in surtax rates on high in
comes.
Reports from London all seem
agreed that this arrangement, since
1t ends postwar credits, promises no
great reduction In the net amount
Of the taxes to be paid by Britons,
although their actual cash outlay
will be less. As an anti-infiationary
measure. moreover. the built-up
credits-which have, in fact, been
war savings by individuals and in
dustries-wil not be immediately re-
paid to the individuals, but to stimu-
late reconversion the Labor govern
ment's budget provides for repay
ment to industries, beginning next
April.

up by the Attlee government-also

Repentance
By Rabbi S. II. Metz,
Adds Israel CONGREGATION.

Discussing the theme Of repentance.
the Talmud tells the following pro-
foundly significant story:
There lived In the Near East .
cultured, wealthy man by the name
Of Eliezer whose life was addicted
to the gratification OF the senses. In
the pleasure narts of the notorious
port cities Of the Mediterranean his
name had become byword. For
years this man went on sowing his
widest oats, apparently without ex-
periencing the slightest twinge OF
remorse or regret. But, strange to
relate, one day q chance remark by
his latest companion in vice stabbed
his conscience into the deepest spir-
itual agitation. With q family con-
temptuous smile, the woman had
said: "As the exhaled breath never
returns to its source, 50 will our
Eliezer never find redemption through
repentance"
Thereupon, the Talmud relates, he
went and sat between mountains and
hills and prayed, 20 ye mountains
and hills, plead for divine mercy in
my behalf" But they answered, say
ing, Rather than plead for you, We
should plead for ourselves. Hasn't
the prophet Isaiah said: The noun
tains will depart. and the hills will
be removed'?"
He then turned to the heavens and
the earth imploring, 20 ye heavens
and earth. plead for divine mercy for
my sake But they, too, replied
Rather than plead for you, should
We not plead for ourselves? Hasn't
Isaiah prophecied, saying: The
heavens shall vanish away like smoke
and the earth shall wax old like .
garment'?"
In despair, the distrausht Eliezer
turned to the sun and the moon,
imploring, 20 ye sun and moon,
plead for divine mercy for the sal
vation Of my soul" But the sun and
moon replied: Rather than plead for
you, We should plead for ourselves.
for it is written in the Scriptures:
The moon shall be confounded and
the sun ashamed"
In his anguish he turned to the
stars and the planets, crying, 20 ye
abiding stars and planets, plead for
divine mercy for the redemption of
my lost life" But the stars and the
planets answered, Rather than
plead for you, We should plead for
ourselves: can't you hear the echo
Of the words Of the prophet of old
reverberating in the iInmensities OF
time and space, saying, And all the
hosts of heaven shall moulder
away'?"
Then something flashed across the
mind of the unhappy man. He said:
Indeed, the matter Of my redemp-
ton depends entirely upon me-upon
me alone" Thereupon he laid his
head on his knees and wept; and,
concludes the Talmud, . heavenly
voice was heard saying: "Eliezer, the
son of De Rodia Is destined to life
in the world to comet"

Future of Armed Power

Electronics and atomic energy are
certain to have a revolutionary effect
on military science in the years
ahead, but armies, navies and air
fleets are likely to remain, no matter
how much their tactical and strate-
gical concepts may change and ire
spective of the new forms they may
assume. Massed infantry, carrier
task forces and bomber commands,
as we know them today, may become
obsolete but the best of our generals
and admirals are all agreed that as
long as we have land, sea and sky
there will be some kind of armed
power for each dimension.
To assume otherwise would be to
be premature in the extreme. AS
the National Planning Association
has just pointed out in preliminary
report on a study of postwar avia-
tion, this seems especially true of
air power. The atomic bomb, accord
ing to the association, is not sub
stitute for air power but simply an
instrument of air power, and air
power-as it exists now and as it will
be developed in the future-must be
maintained in strength as our pri-
mary means of serving the peace and
security of the Nation.
The air power enviSioned by
the National Planning Association
would be such as to guard the coun-
try against the danger of sudden
attack by "stratospheric envelop-
ment" in which geographical posi-
tion would offer no defense. To
provide for this power the associa-
ton would promote civilian aviation,
set up civilian pilot-training pro-
gram for college-a age youth, and have
the Army and Navy air forces work
closely with the aircraft industry in
developing offensive and defensive
guided missiles.
Particular stress is placed on the
latter point. According to the asso-
citation, "electronics, jet and rocket
propulsion, air foil design for super
sonic speeds, and the nuclear physics
all have direct application to aero
nautics; that is, to airplanes and to
self-propelled and guided missiles.
Defense against such weapons re-
quires aircraft and guided missiles,
capable of fantastic speed, which
will be able to find, intercept and
destroy opposing weapons in the air
and at their landing bases"
This emphasis on research and
development is very much to the
point. AS the association declares,
electronics and the atomic bomb
have not supplanted air power, but
they have opened up future in
which the kind of air power we have
today will have to undergo a pro-
gressive evolution to keep up to the
minute with scientific advances. The

ties were organized, athletic con-
tests were held. Two chaplains In the
Sd Marine Division helped sponsor 4

pate themselves. One chaplain walked
of with the ad-jump honors, the

Bible classes. guided by the chap
lains, were an important part Of life
aboard many ships and in many units.
Young men whose training for the min
istry had been interrupted by war con-
tinued their studies under the tutelage
of their chaplains.
Now that victory is here, chaplains
have found that. in many ways, their
responsibilities have increased. Men
anxious to get home to their loved ones
are taking their problems to the chap
lain, who is playing an active role in
the Nays civil readjustment program.
The chaplain remembers the faces Of
his fshting men congregations, re-
calls the grip OF their hands ~ they
filed out Of his makeshift chapel His
prayer now is that these men whom he
has seen through the most trying times

the transition back to civil life.
When demobilization is completed, the
Navy hopes to have corps Of some
500 chaplains on active duty. The chal-
lenee Of their Navy ministry win have
in no way diminished in peacetime.
The powers of darkness" which were
our chaplains' enemies during the war
have not agreed to any surrender terms
--they were not among those present
when the documents which brought
military peace were signed.

Capital Sidelights
a By VIII P. Kennedy.

Republican House members are taking
an extraordinary interest in q campaign
candidacy for the House Of Delegates
from Fairfax County, in the Democratic
State of Virginia. A. X. Barta, 4 vet
eran Capitol employe with national
experience in Republican campaign
politics, is opposing 4 Democratic NOM
inee who Is Endorsed by the Political
Action Committee, with the result that
the old-line Democrats have organized
a committee to support Mr.. Barta In
avowed opposition to the Sidney Hillman
influences.
For a decade-lsls to 1s2s-Mr. Barta
was with the House Appropriations
Committee. He was national director
of the Republican Speakers Bureau In
1884, and director Of the speakers divi-
sion, including the area from Ohio to
the West Coast in ls36-1s4o. In.1s36 he
also was organizer and director OF the
sound d-truck division, and continued that
activity in the 1910 campaign. He was
executive assistant to Representative
Will r. Woof of Indiana all the time he
was chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee. Seldom. if ever,
has such an able and experienced figure
in national politics, accepted candidacy
for a State legislative ONCE.

the question that has baffled many .
religious thinker: why do 50 few
OF us avail ourselves Of the saving
power OF repentance power always
at hand?" Individually and collec.
lively, man Is bending under the
cumulative burden Of transeression--
a burden that easily could be lifted
by manfully admitting the error OF
our ways and turning a new page in
the book OF life. Why do we refuse
to listen to the voice OF divine
compassion calling man to repent
and redeem himself from misery
Wherefore have come" asks
Isaiah in the name of God, "and
there is not one man? have called
and no one answers"
Why are there 80 many homes de-
void Of sladness because Of misun-
derstanding, suspicion and friction;
homes clouded by vague resentments
and petty grudges-which easily
could be dissipated by candid ad-
mission Of errors made?
We resist the appeal OF repent
ance because In our pride we are
loath to admit that we have been
wrong in our actions or unjust in
our judgments, or weak in our prin-
ciples.
Even when the logic Of our wretch
.dness forces the truth upon us that
ve have failed, We do not want to
put the blame upon ourselves. We
blame society, environment, heredity,
the stars. We are like young colts
reselling against the yoke of our
responsibilities as fres agents. We
prefer to think of ourselves as the
helpless playthings Of circumstances,
as pieces of cork adrift and bobbing
aimlessly with the slightest ripple
of the river. We waste our emotional
strength in complaints and self-pity
instead of drawing upon the hidden
reserve Of the spiritual energy within
us to refashion our lives after the
biblical pattern Of faith, beauty and
. goodness. A sage once remarked:
The fool always blanes others; the
philosopher blames no one; only the
saint blames himself" When we
wrong our fellowmen and down deep
we feel rather cheap and small.
more often than not, we try to mufne
the voice that admonishes us. In
stead of holding ourselves to account,
We act like children-we justify our
ethical sins by finding or inyenting
all sorts of defects, faults and evils
in the persons wronged.
Humanity has come Of age scien-
tiftcally and industrially. II We want
to build our world upon the founda-
tions OF justice and peace, We must
outsrow our infantile understanding
of our own nature. II We are to be
the master builders Of our future,
We must recognize that fatalism
is the escape Of adolescents. To
become spiritually of age means to
have the courage to accept the reality
and the mandate Of our inner free
dom and to walk the highway OF
repentance which leads to the living
wells of salvation.

A Boys Mockinuw

One readily admits that clothes
serve many purposes other than
utilitarian. A cursory survey of
women's hats, women's shoes and
mems ties confirms the fact. Clothes
are, on occasion, apparently made
for such purposes as to engender
aStoniShment, give amusement and
create discomfort. OF course, if the
wearer is satisfied, if his ego is boil
stored and he feels glow of con-
tentment, then a psychologist could
reasonably argue that clothes really
do make the man.
No doubt there are problems to-
day in regard to vegetable, animal
fiber and synthetic coverings, but it
hardly seems possible that they can
be so puzzling and difficult as the
question of decision that faced
twelve-year-old boy when he was
choosing mackinaw from the mail
order catalogue generation ago.
The mackinaws were pictured in
gorgeous colors-beautiful colors.
There were flaming reds and deep
blues, hard-hitting green's and
creamy whites, grays and blacks,
purples and orange. There were
mackinaws in checked patterns and
mackinaws in stripes.
A lads mother leaned toward a
soft smoked gray with a darker belt
and collar. "It won't show the dirt
so much" she would murmur. A
fellows sisters always had a good
deal to say, mostly in high disdain
Of his tentative choices. Father had
very little comment, but his smile
was understanding. In the evening,
as the family sat in the kitchen and
the wood fire cracked cheerfully in
the stove, the arguments waxed and
waned. The young folks leaned on
the catalogue, spread out on the big
table with its black and red checked
cloth. Father occasionally put down
his farm journal to decrease the
volume of argument that a lad and
his sisters could produce. At last 1t
was settled. The boy had the final
choice. He chose nackinaw that
satisfied his heart. It was big and
warm and had deep pockets. It was
satisfyingly emphatic combination
of eye-stopping reds and blues, with
touches Of black and gray. In 1t a
chap could walk to school when the
snow drifts were high and the ther-
mometer was low. A mackinaw of
distinction and zip meant the future
could be faced with equanimity.
