Marshall Plan.
= To Extend Over
5-Year Period
my Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. g.
The Department of State disclos-
ed today that the Marshall Plan
is intended to be extended over
a period of five years, by the end
of which time the nations that
have been helped by its opera
ton will have attained a self
supporting economy.
1t was further revealed that
the operation of the Marshall
Plan will cost the United States
between SIS and $40 billion for
the five-year period. Amounts to
be used yearly will be on a slid
ing scale till 1852, when the as
sistance will be discontinued.
The department further said
that the chief element in the
plan now is for its speedy ap-
plication, because, in several
countries that will be helped,
need for foodstuffs is daily be-
coming more acute.

WASHINGTON, Sept. g.
Housewives in many parts of the
country have gone on strike
against buying beef, it was an
nounced today on the receipt of
news that there had been a de-
cided falling off in beef pur-
chaSeS.
Butchers in some of the larger
cities reported that sales of beef
during this week have decreased
as much as 35 per cent, and that
indications are the drop will be
more decided if prices stay up at
their present level.
1t was explained that house.
wives in some cities have been in
formally banded together to try
to stop the uptrend in beef prices.
Many housewives pledged them
selves not to buy beef until the
costs come down.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for
the Department of Agriculture
said that indications are beef
ppices will decrease in the next
four months, but that they will
show an uptrend again in jan
uary.
Shortage of grains is given as
the primary cause of the in
creased prices of beef and pork,
due to the large shipments of
grains to foreign countries. The
spokesman said that the govern
ment is considering proposal to
cut down grain shipments and
for them increased
amounts of sugar, fats and<oilS.

Teachers Protesting
Pay Checks; A]bury
Asks New Payroll
kCOUNTY SUPT. ACCEDES
TO REQUEST TO ASK
STATE FOR PAYMENT
FOR ALL OF AUGUST

AS a result OF meeting OF the
Monroe County Teachers Asso-
citation held last night at the High
School = mex, committee of
teachers visited County School
Superintendent Willard Albury
this morning and protested the
amounts of their August pay
checks.
The teachers said that the
checks should cover the period
from Aug. 1 to 81, instead of from
Aug. ID to 81. Supt. Albury ex-
planned that they were paid for
the period they worked and
would be paid for the August
1-18 period next August.
The teachers, however. con-
tended that their contracts call
for IL equal payments. that they
are badly in need of funds at the
start of the school year. that
many are new teachers who have
had the expense of moving here
and that the provisions of their
contracts are not being carried
out in this regard.
The Association retained At
torney William v. Albury to rep
resent them and last night he
presented settlement by Supt.
Albury under which the payment
for the remaining part of August
would be paid later. The settle
ment was rejected.
r Hence, this morning Attorney
William v. A1bury and a
committee visited Supt. Al
bury. The COMMITTEES consisted
toa Mrs. Amelia cobct y. psgisioss
Street School. and Frank Frantz.
Mrs. Grace Hilton and Joel
Martin, all of the High School
faculty. They asked that the
Superintendent submit a supple
mental payroll to the State 10 pay
Key West teachers for the period
August 1-18.
Supt. Albury reluctantly
agreed to submit the supplement
tai payroll. ut seems to me they
are asking for payment in adj
vance of their services" he told
The Citizen this morning. But
it makes no difference TO me. IL
the State says to pay them, I'll
be glad to do it. They can only
be paid once anyway"
The superintendent told the
delegation that there is always
a possibility of teacher walking
out on a contract in which case.
he asked the committee. who
would bear the loss of paying
him for the first part of August?
The superintendent said that the
counsel for the committee an
swered. THE county would lose"
Supt. Albury said that he had
talked with a high Department
of Education head in Tallahassee
by telephone last night on the
matter, and was informed that he
was taking the proper procedure
in paying the teachers only for
the period they worked.
The problem arose because this
is to first year in which the
teachl have come to work IN
August. Under new state law the
teachers work 10 months. serving
a pre-school and post-school
period. Heretofore. they report
ed for work Sept. | and their
first checks covered one month.
Supt. Albury said the pay
ment of the checks for the period
Aug. 1881 has been all in good
faith" He characterized as fool
ish and remarks by teachers that
the county was trying 10 out
mneuver them.

Like a festive flourish the an
cient bronze lures sound a ringing
introduction to the history Of Dan
ish music, bringing an inspiring
message from a civilization dat
ing back more than 5000 years.
The old sagas of the north give
evidence of high degree of mus
ical culture, and wealth of
medieval ballads and folk songs
from a later period indicates how
deeply rooted in the popular soul
music is. Many musicians of re-
nown were called by the Danish
kings of the renaissance period
to heighten the lustre of their
brilliant courts. Thus the English
man John Dowland and the Ger
man Heinrich Schultz, two of the
most eminent composers of that
period, held positions at the Court
of Christian ", whose reign end
ed in 1913. One of their contem-
poraries was the Danish composer
Mogens Petersen (1585-1623)
whom the king sent to Italy and

later made Vice-Director of the
Royal Orchestra.
The greatest Danish composer
of the baroque period was the
master-organist Dideric Buxte-
nude (1637-17O7) who played the
organ at Elsinore for many years
prior to his appointment to st.
Mary'S in Lubbock from where his
fame spread all over Europe His
renown was such that even Jo-
ham Sebastian Bach came on
foot from Thuringia to hear him
play
However, specific national
note in Denmark's music was not
in evidence until about the close
of the 18th century. The first
time we meet this real Danish
note is in the music of Johan
Ernst Hartmann (1726-1793) to
the song-pIays "Balder's Death
and The Fishermen written by
Johannes Ewald (1743-17sD, one
of Denmark's great poets. Here
the composer has embodied the
spirit of the north, though the
music IS presented in the neo-
classical style.
An event which marked an
epoch in the history of Danish
music was the introduction of
opera on the stage of the Royal
Theatre as an art form on
level with plays and ballets. Up
to then, opera performances had
been given in Copenhagen only
occasionally, and mostly by visit
ing troupes. The Saxon composer,
I. G. Naumann, was brought to
Copenhagen to reorganize the
Royal Orchestra. He wrote the
opera "Orpheus and Eurydice'
which was given its first perfor-
nance in 1856. In addition to the
opera, a great many musical clubs

soil for the thriving of the art
of music in Denmark.
The first musical director Of
the opera after its fusion with
the Royal Theatre was l. A. P.
