Camille C.llautenps,
Bonnie Smith Heard
~ Alice Eyersmon

Bonnie Smith, coloratura soprano
and Nine. Camille Chautemps.p .pia-
mist, were presented in q benefit
concert for st. Johns orphasage by
Gertrude NJ. Mustain last night In
the Washington Club. The artists
had a small but appreciative audi
ence that gave every evidence o.
enjoying the program fully.
The greater part of it was devoted
to Miss Smiths numbers, in two OF
which she had the expert assistance
of Dominic Iasconem, f1utist. The
10, Here the Gentle Lark by Bish-
op and the 'Charmant Oiseau" aria
from David's la Perle du Bresn
offer the duet passages by voice and
flute OF which both artists gave a
finished delivery. The fexibility
range and freshness OF quality OF
Miss Smiths voice are promising as
sets that presage career when fur
ther developed and polished.
At present the lack of oVertones
in her voice rob it of varied color
and the effect Is too low placement
although the pitch, except for one
or two instances, was accurate
This did not permit Of many shad-
ings or OF the brilliancy of incisive
attacks that rigthfully belong to
her voice. She sang with musical
feeling and everything was well
planned interpretively. LaForge's
arrangement of Desdemona,s song
90 Willo, WiIlo" from Verdi's "Oth-
clio" and Victor Staub's "L'heure
Delicieuse" were two charming num-
bers well presented. Among the
more taxing selections were Handel's
80 Had Jubal's Lyre," the "Batti,
Batti'' from Mozart's Don Giovan-
nis and the blanche Dourga" from
Delibes' "Lakme," all OF which
showed the possibilities of Miss
Smiths voice, an unusually full toned
one for coloratura. In these and
the final listed aria, "Regnava mel
silenzio" from Donizetti's Lucia di
Lammermoor," she had the sympa-
thetic accompaniment of Villa Sem
pie.
The four numbers played by Nine.
Chautemps were embellished by a
sensitivity in nuance and by strongly

Any Russian Exodus Laid
To Liquidation Of Agencies
BY the As.seioisd Press

Both State Department and Soviet
Embassy officials said today that II
there is an unusual exodus Of Rus
sian citizens from the United States
1t is due to liquidation Of Soviet
wartime agencies in this country.
At the State Department 1t was
said that the Russians still have
about 300 employees winding up the
affairs of their wartime purchasing
commission here, compared with a
peak staff strength during the war
of around 5000, and that some OF
those people might now be returning
to Russia.

What Co-operatives Are Trying
To Do

Co-ops are not just a penny-saving idea.
Co-ops are primarily a weapon for trust-bust-
ing. In food distribution, a single small coop
never saves much for its members and is prob
ably not worth the trouble. But a lot of co-ops
acting together to carry on wholesaling and
production, can cut costs all down the line.
Some American co-ops have already sue
ceeded in cutting prices on some products.
This happened where profit margins were
big, as in farm supplies, or where the co-ops
have been able to get back into production, as
in gas and oil. Probably city people have
made the biggest money saving so far in hous-
ing co-ops, where a saving of 20 per cent can
be expected.
Savings on food will come when there are
enough city co-ops to handle processing and
distribution on a large and efficient scale.
Not that there aren't savings already in city
food co-ops, but they are small compared to
what will come. Today, most coop members
give as their main reason for belonging to the
co-ops the fact that coop quality is reliable.
This puts it directly up to organized labor,
as the largest group of organized city people.
It was the organized farmers who built our
present farm coop movement, to which 60
per cent of American farmers now belong. 1t
will be organized labor that will take the init
iative, in all likelihood, if co-ops in the city
are to reach maturity.
AS yet, organized labor hasn't quite real
lied what it has to gain. Last year, labor got
increases in pay through it's unions which
could have been covered by a LIS per cent in
crease in prices. Instead, the price increase
amounted to ID per cent. Labor lost, and the
masses still unorganized lost even more. The
battle Of organized labor is essential as pro-
lection, but it has become an endless race on a
treadmill. Efforts to control prices through
government regulations and prosecution of
trusts have been ineffective.
Co-ops can keep those prices down. In a
few instances in the United States, in numer-
Gus instances in other countries, they have
done so. More and more, leaders in the labor
movement and liberal minds everywhere are
beginning to agree that the only effective con-
troll of artificially high prices is the COMPETE
ton of co-operatives.
After all, collective bargaining for wages
is only half the battle. Co-ops put a weapon
in your hands for the other half-the battle
for collective control of prices.-LABOR

The Necessity For All Laborine
People To Vote

The members of organized labor. and we
may say all labor, now realize that the future
welfare and we'll being of the laboring people
is the responsibility of the working people.
We have seen a clear demonstration of
the thinking of those who are too narrow to
realize that the future of this or any other
country, rests upon the working people.
Today we see a struggle going on in Eur
ope that threatens to again involve the world
in another war at some not distant date.
Time is the essence, and just as soon as GER
tain European countries have become strong
enough Tin their mind) the bust is liable to
come. In the meantime we are helping them
get ready.
The politicians are giving them all the aid
possible. Instead of trying to cement the peo-
pie of this country together in order that we
may protect ourselves, they are trying to d.
vide the people, and they are making remark
able Roadway.
The strongest single item this nation has
to rely on, is the ability of her workers and
farmers to produce. 1t makes no difference
how much money the insurance companies,
banks, railroads, oil and chemical companies
have, you must have men and women who
can produce the necessities of life, and in
case of need, the weapons of war.
Take away from the people who produce
all the incentive, all the desire, and you are
going to have a disrupted economy. A peo-
pie who don't care, and they may in years to
come be as all the people of Russia today.
Capital and industry, and politicians,
don't forget that without labor, you are as
helpless as were the politicians, capitalists
and industrialists of France, Germany and
other nations.
When are you going to awaken to the
threat that you are creating by your actions?
Of course, it's fine to have money; but if
you have nothing to spend it for, except as
some dictator directs, why have it?
Labor must protect themselves and this
country. 1t was clearly demonstrated by the
majority of the Eightieth Congress, that the
greed for gold is paramount to the interest of
the people of this country.
We must elect men to congress and our
state legislatures, who realize the part labor
plays in the economic life of this nation. We
have failed in the past to do our part as a part
of the political scheme of things. We must
put ourselves in a position to be heard-we

Satira's Trial DELAYED

for the hearing.
The Toledo dancer is accused of
fatally shooting John Lester Nee of
Chicago last April aboard the yacht
Satira.
Nearly 100 witnesses had been
summoned by the defense and pros

30-Year Sentence Asked.
The prosecution has asked that
Miss Schmidt be imprisoned for 80
years.
Miss Schmidt already has told her
story of what happened aboard the
yacht Satira last April 8, the day
Nee was shot fatally through the
throat.
She has told the court she was
intimate with Nee, that he promised
to marry her, and that she fired the
fatal shot during a violent quarrel
after she discovered he already had
wife in Chicago.
Havana newspapers have analysed
the case carefully to date and have

published the conclusion that Miss
Schmidt has not thus far proven

her testimony was that Nee was
shot when the quarrel was over,
while sitting down, and that to
prove self defense her testimony,
under Cuban procedure, should have
been that she shot him while he
was beating her.

The third big problem named
is low income per capita. This
State was 44th in the nation in
1880, he explained; and although
the income increased almost 13O
cent by 1945 it was still 44th.

cultural problem of this section.

in tobacco acreage will be an
other blow, he pointed out.
Howard stressed the fact t h t
intensified farming and produc-
ton of other crops on the 80 per
cent of the land not used for
tobacco would help alleviate this
problem.
In the cities, he said, coopera-
tive promotion of home prducts,
such as the Carolina sweet po-
tato, might be the answer.
For the fifth big problem he
listed industrialization and pur-
chasing power in the cities as
the concern of the farmers. In
