Program for U, 5. Aid
To China Is Outlined
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May "A vast pro-
gram for the irdustrialization of
China with American capital is pro-
posed by Donald M. Nelson in the
current issue of Golfers Magazine
Mr.. Nelson, who was President
Roosevelt's representative on inter-
national economic matters, returned
recently from China, where he made
\ thorough survey" Of postwar po-
tentialities.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
and other leaders in China, Mr..
Nelson says, have agreed with him
on the need to develop the textile
and simple export" industries, and
are favorable to the idea OF Ameri-
can Joint ownership and operation
until China gets started. Mr.. Nelson
Is convinced that such American aid
would create q vast market for
United States capital goods.
The greatest Of all plans for China
as outlined by Mr.. Nelson, is the
damming Of the Yangtze Kiang,
with q power generating capacity
twice rs large as the present total OF
IVA, Grand Coulee, Boulder and
Bonneville Dams.
Mr.. Nelson warns against "im-
perialistic-minded" aid to China
He asserts, 1--WE shall help China
because 1t is a sensible business
policy"
when Japan is defeated the
present great organizing force in the
Orient will be eliminated" Mr..
Nelson points out. "A commercial
vacuum will be left. which must
either be filled by China or chaos
will follow"

Budapest Quartet
Presents Three
Outstanding Works
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

Last nights concert by the Buda-
pest Quartet in the Library Of Con-
gress, under the auspices of the
Gertrude Clarke Whittall Founda-
ton, was a refreshing departure
from the regular quartet playing
routine, the group presenting three
outstanding works for a larger en-
semble with the assistance of Milton
Katims, viola, and Daniel Saiden-
berg, cello.
Mozart's Quintet in D Major" for
two violins, two violas and cello.
separated the two sextets on the
program, one by Brahms: "Sextet
in B Flat Major" his first attempt
in this form, characterized by its
sturdy vigor and compactness,
especially when contrasted with
Dvorak's, which closed the concert,
written along simpler lines, reflect
ing national color.
The enjoyable evening was nota-
BILE for the usual freedom of execu-
ton and beauty of tone and more,
because the compositions, especially
the first two on the program, gave
many opportunities for individual
display of style. The opening theme
of Brahms sextet fell to Boris
Kroyt, violist of the Budapest
Quartet, who more than once
showed his sympathetic tone and
led in the rapid spiccato passages
toward the effective finale. Favor
ing the deeper toned instruments
throughout the work, the composer
allotted also several lovely themes
to the cello, the most eloquent being
the one in classic mode where
MiScha Schneiders artistry could
be enjoyed to the fullest.
Listening to the exquisite strains
of Mozart's quintet, written only a
few months before his death, one
could never suspect that under the
polished brilliance and sauve love-
illness of this music lay the tragedy
of dire want which was to carry the
composer to his premature grave.
The adagio of the second move
ment, like a celestial song for the
first violin, scars high above the
other instruments. Supported with
sympathy and understanding by the
rest of the ensemble, Josef Rois-
mann, leader of the organization,
carried the melody with conviction
and refinement.

By ALICE EvERSMAN.

The Hall of the Americas In the
Pan American Union was well filled
last night by representative audi
|ence to welcome Raul Spivak, Ar
|gentine pianist, in his debut recital
in this city. His activities in various
fields and his concert appearances
abroad and in his own country have
made him one of the prominent fig-
ures Of Argentine's musical life. He
has but lately come to the United
States, giving his first concert in
New York a few months ago.
Mr.. Spivak brings to his playing
Ia firmly grounded tone of warm
and sonorous quality and smoothly
flowing technique, used not so much
as an establishment as an integral
part of his Interpretation. This
sound viewpoint. escrewing the
spectacular, and his thoughtful ap-
proach give a substantial character
to his performance that is intelli-
gently directed and at the same time
capable of climactic effects and
broad discourse. His command OF
power is of virtuoSo stamp and In
numbers such as Chopin's "Polon-
aise in A Flat, OPP. 3d." was bril-
liantly handled.

Children's Lobby

Economy minded members of the House Appropriations Committee are not letting any grass grow un- der their feet. Chairman Clarence Cannon of Missouri, parsimonious John Taber of New York, and tight-fisted Richard Wigglesworth of Massachusetts, ranking Republi- cans are cutting expenditures to the bone
 But they're under plenty of pres sure from their colleagues to per- init continued operation of the Child-Care Centers which the Fed eral agency has been operating These centers, which make it pos sible for working mothers to leave their children in competent hands while they are on the job, are scheduled to be closed next month. The protest against closing them has been extremely strong. Espec- ially in the west.
 A score of Pacific Coast con- gressmen met Wednesday morning with Federal Works Administrator General Philip Fleming to reach a solution to this problem. Fleming told them child care was never contemplated as permanent Fed eral project, and would have to be fakar nuar hu tho Ctofac
 Representative Richard Welch of San Francisco insisted, however, that Federal operation until. the States were ready to take over is imperative-at least until CT. fa- thers are back on the scene.

said. If you could see the pitiful letters on my desk, you would have no doubt about it. Hundreds and thousands of mothers, whose hus- bands are still in the Army, are desperate at the thought that the child centers will close down. They can't live on soldiers pay, and they want to know how they are going to keep their jobs if they have to stay home and take care of their children"
 General Fleming, who personal ly wants to keep the centers open, said he was aware of these prob lems, but it was clearly understood at the time Congress voted the money that centers were to be op- erated only as a war measure.
 Freshman Representative George Miller of San Francisco then ask ed Fleming if it were not true that

A MANS OWN HOME

In the current discussion of housing problems so important in virtually every section of the United States must not forget that private ownership of homes should continue to be the goal toward which a majority of Americans strive.
 We may be tempted to accept the fallacy that government housing is an answer to our wishes It such assistance and consideration by certain Federal agencies But private ownership is of the bulwarks of the American system. That we never should be allowed to forget
 The family which its house and lot has attachments for and interests in the community which never can be duplicated by other devices No tenant in government housing project could achieve the close feeling of attachment which comes naturally to those who have labored, saved and panned-and finally to acquire their tiny empires.
 Such home has much more than financial value. Every tree that has been planted and grown to maturity is tie binding that family to that bit of earth. Every year the garden blooms every spring when the grass comes green again-a these among the sentimental values which only to those who have bought their own dwellings.
 There other values too-reflecting as much upon the community perhaps as on the individuals family and to each individual in it. The very fact of property ownership makes each person better cit- gen. enlarges his contribution to society.
 We hope sincerely that America never will tend to swerve from the path of individual home owner ship; that the time never will come when any great number of people will fail to appreciate all the advantages which with such acquisitions. Ger tainly this nation has been built and has grown to

No Back Pay
Washington Evening Star)


 The matter of Major James P. s. Devereux's back pay provides material for interesting study in the extent to which common be tortured by regulations and red tape
 Imprisoned by the Japanese after his heroic de- fense of Wake Island, Major Devereux, May 16, 1922, promoted" to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Presumably this intended to serve as recognition of the great service he had rendered and to compensate him in small degree for the personal sacrifice that national unpreparedness had imposed on him. But now it seems that the promotion may have been more apparent than real since Major Devereux, under Marine Corps regulations, is not entitled to any back pay at the higher rank and may not receive the rank itself unless he pass a physical examination If he had been released by the Japanese more than three years ago, he would have received both the higher pay and the higher rank. But because he has had to endure the ordeal of imprisonment he loses the back pay and his health has been sufficiently impaired he may also lose the rank.
 It is regulations of this sort plus routine adher- to them which associates with the term brass hat in it's most unfattering connotation. Forum ately, Chairman Vinson of the House Naval Affairs Committee has promised that Congress will see to it that the regulation is not applied to the prejudice of Marines who have been prisoners of war and the sooner steps to this end taken the better will be
