Record
Row
By Betty Miles

Ringing in the new: From the
country's record factories discs
come tumbling, with 1948 releases
predicted plentiful. After weeks of
frenzied and prolific recording,
weary bands and hoarse vocalists
can, if they choose, now peacefully
hibernate with Brer Bar for the
rest Of the winter.
An after-January l release that
should prove interesting is the Beryl
Davis recording of Experience,
with Russ Case and his orchestra.
Miss Davis, who recently stepped
into Doris Days shoes as Hit Parade
star when Miss Day went to Holly
wood, is a Britisher with a sultry
singing style. The number is from
the latest Hope Crosby travelogue,
Road to Rio" and, of course, was
introduced in the film by the third
of the travelling trio, Dorothy
Lamour.
Marked for success is the Songs
of Friendship" album, composed
with the small set in mind. The
songs in the newly released album
are sung by composer Irving Caesar,
who also penned "Swanee, Tea
for Two" and another album beamed
at children, Songs of Safety" A
book, Songs of Friendship" with
a format resembling sheet music,
has also been published. The album
containing four 1o-inch records
explains in light and interesting
manner the meaning Of the "One
World" type of friendship. Ger
man, French, Spanish, Russian,
japanese and Chinese versions OF
the same composition have also
been produced.

Also released by the trio is the dole

Worth looking for is the Khachi-
turian "Saber Dance" turned out
in single 10-inch record form. For

part of the "Gayne Suite by the

Out marched matadors dressed in
their golden festooned capes, fol-
lowed by horsemen carrying long
barbed prods. And then, the pica-
dors.
No sooner had this proud process
sion marched round and off than
out rushed the angry. bucking bull.
Aspiring matadors teased the bull
with their capes to test his manner
of attack. Then men on horseback
prodded Eel toro's" neck with the
sharpened barbs of the iron poles,
as the bull threw the horse into
the air. Then it was time for the
picadors. Three men must each
approach the bull without capes and
jab two picantes into the neck flesh
of the poor beast. Their job COM
pleted, the stage was set for the
climax of the strange, exciting
drama.
Silence reigned. The matador
stood calmly. poised and expectant.
The sound of the bulls snort printed
itself on every ones mind. He
paved the ground, lowered his head,
the crowd leaned forward, and the
bull charged! Closer and closer he
drew toward the red cape. With
one sweeping motion the cape sailed
up and over "el toros" head and
slithered down his smooth black
hide to the matadors side. He
wheeled about. glaring at his tor
mentor. The matador inched for
ward, coaxing the bull into action.
AS he charged again, the man whis-
pered a short prayer and pulled in
his stomach another inch. The cape

stirred and as one body breathed,
"Ole"-"Bravo" for the brave
matador.
There was a superb fighter, ele-
CANT, motionless and willing to face
danger. Every man, woman and
child hoped he would kill the black
bull in one graceful motion, as ex-
perts do. Apparently the matador
did not want to leave before he had
proved his ultimate supremacy. He
teased the bull again and again,
each time passing him gracefully,
bringing enthused cheers from the
wild crowd. This matador might

terminedly, he thrust the sword up

The beast fell to the ground In q

The fight being over, pride lit up

|hIder Denies Charge
OF Inferior HOUSING
Offered by NCHA

John Ihlder, executive of1icer Of
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority. struck back yesterday at
charges that public housing in the
District area is inferior to that
offered by private landlords.
Mr.. 1hlders statement was con-
tanned in letter to Chairman Aiken
OF the Senate Expenditures Com
mittee. In his letter he answered
charges against public housing made
recently by Joseph H. Deckman,
chairman Of 4 housing committee
Of the Home and Property Owners
Foundation.
Denying that public housing rem
tails are about the same" as rents
OF certain selected private properties
under rent control, as alleged by
MIR. Deckman. Mr.. Ihlder pointed
out that it is the policy of NCHA to
graduate its highest income families
into private housing. This is be-
coming increasingly more difficult.
however, because rising private rents
make the gap too wide for NCHA's
tenants to bridge, he said.
Error Is Charged.
Charging that the foundation
chairman shows no indication az
the PURPOSE Of public housing" the
letter said that Mr.. Deckman had
erred in adding taxes and subsidy to
the economic rents charged at the
public projects when making com
parison to private rates. The fact
is, Mr.. Ihlder said, that taxes are
included in the economic rent and
subsidy is used to reduce rents be-
low the economic, or cost level, for
those families who are unable to
pay.
Answering allegations that condi-
tions at public projects are deterio-
rating and cannot compare with
those OF private properties, Mr.. Ihl-
der cited instances OF bad conditions
at even the best private projects.
NCHA Accepts Children.
Furthermore, he pointed out,
NCHA has made a practice of ac-
cepting families with children, even
though Landlords are acutely con-
scious OF the fact that children are
destructive, Grass, windows ana
doors may suffer as the result of
that policy, Mr.. Ihlder admitted.
"NCHA's management difficulties
would decrease if it were to reverse
and accept only families with no
children, or with only one or two
children. But In that case, larger
families whose incomes are too low
to enable them to buy homes would
have no refuge"

FuIbrighi Scores Russia,
Calls for U. 5. Of Europe
BY ths A,,oeiafsd Ir.s,


TORONTO, Dec: s.--An outspoken
attack against Russia, coupled with
plea for establishment Of a United
States Of Europe, was made last
night by Senator Fulbright, Demo-
crat. Of Arkansas.
Condemning Russian policy
toward Europe, Senator Fulbright
declared that an attitude OF isola-
tionism on the part OF the New
World would permit the Soviet to
consolidate its power In Europe.
In view. of the Kremlin's policies,
no one can doubt that such a con-
solidation of power by Russia in
Europe would ultimately spell war
for the world and that the two
primary belligerents would be, RUS
sia and the United States" he said.
Such enormous power and un-
limited resources under the control
Of one autocratic government, when
geared to the emotional drive to
world revolution. would be accom-
panied by an irresistible urge to
dominate the world"

Whitehursf Stresses
Long-Range Solution
For Barney Circle

The plan finally adopted for Sc
luton OF the traffic problem at
Barney Circle Sc. should seek to
alleviate conditions there on q long
range basis, Highway Director H. c.
Whitehurst emphasized yesterday In
explaining six possible treatments
Of the circle 10 the District Advisory
Board Of the American Automobile
Association meeting In the May
flower Hotel.
Capt. Whitehurst said his expe-
riences with increasing trafiic now
would lead him to oppose any meas
tre designed as short-term solu-
ton, since wed be back where We
started in couple Of years"
II do feel that the people of the
Southeast, who have been very
patient. are entitled to some re-
lief" he commented.
Capital Transit Plans.
Capt. Whitehurst pointed out six
plans now are under consideration
that Of his department, four alter
natives suggested by the Capital
Transit Co. and another submitted
by certain citizens groups of the
area.
He said one Of the Capital Transit
schemes, . surface treatment with
out underpass features, is being
studied In conjunction with experts
Of the Public Roads Administration
TO determine its value as tenn
porary expedient.
Capt. Whitehurst indicated, how
ever, he would prefer to go forward
on his own proposal, calling for
routing OF Pennsylvania avenue
trafiic directly through the present
circle with provision for an under
ground streetcar terminal.
Load Triples Since 1889.
He said the Sousa Bridge is crossed
by nearly 10000 vehicles in a "a
hour period and by about $500
vehicles during a peak rush hour.
The load has more than tripled
since the bridge was opened in
1899, and ut almost seems now that
you cannot overestimate" in pre-
dieting future >trafic flow, Capt.
Whitehurst added.
Asked about beginning Of work
on the Dupont Circle underpass, for
which bid has been accepted, Capt.
Whitehurst said the contract prob
ably will be signed within a week.
He does not expect construction to
start before sometime in February,
''or perhaps as late as the first of
March," he added.
Daylight Time Endorsed.
He explained 1t Is considered ad-
visable to permit sufficient time for
the contractor to assemble materials
before beginning rather than just
digging hole and waiting for them
to come"

mer daylight saving time for the

RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS
HATRED IN THE CHURCH

Coming to the fore now is the
question How much longer can
the Church regard as members in
good standing those who provoke
and agitate for racial ard rellgi-
Gus hatred?
Certain it is that notorious evil
livers have always been subject
to the Churchs discipline and,
since We know most assuredly
from the history of the past de
cade that the propagation of rae
ial and religious hate issues in
widespread human suffering and
produces the most debased kind Of
character-w which is scandalous in
the Church-it is reasonable and
right that hatc-mongcrs be de-
cllrcd to be in a serious state Of
sin.
The Book Of Common Prayer Of
the Episcopal Church puts the
matter this way If among those
who come to be partakers of the
Holy Communion, the Minister
shall know any - to have done
any wrong to his ncighbors by
word or deed. SO that tho Congrc.
cation be thereby offended. ne
shalt advertise him. that he pre-
sumo not to come TO the Lords
