Prokofieff Thanks Party
For Criticism Of Music
BY the Assoeioted Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 18.-Serge Proko-
fieff thanked the Communist Party
today for helping him correct the
mistakes he was making in his
music, the trade union newspaper
Trud reported.
The paper said the Soviet COM
poser, widely known for his ;"Peter
and the Wolf" commented in a let
ter to the Union of Soviet Com
posers that the Communist Party's
resolution of February II separated
the decayed tissues of musical art
from the healthy tissues"
The partys resolution censured
Prokofief and six other Soviet COM
posers for writing music with wi
cious journalistic trend against the
people," It demanded that the
composers write music embodying
more harmony and melody and
criticized "survivals of bourgeois
theology nurtured by the influence
of the modern decadent music OF
Western Europe and America"
Trud said Prokoflef1 was unable
to attend the meeting of the union
of composers because of illness.

Concessions Dispute
Delays Draft Of Bill
On Armory Control

The battle over concessions profits
from public use of the District
Armory was continued without de-
cision today before the O'Hara SUBJ
committee of the House District
Committee.
Progress, however, was made at a
two-hour hearing devoted to the
compromise bill which would place
control over nonmilitary uses of the
big hall in Joint board of three.
Informal agreement was reached on
virtually all provisions of the latest
draft of the measure by all in
terested parties, but snag was
struck again over section which
would give to the District govern
ment, instead of the National Guard,
any profits from concessions, includ-
ing hat-checking and sale of food
and beverages.
This would leave to the National
Guard only the profits from sales
from the Guard canteen.
New Meeting Planned.
Chairman o Hara said another
meeting would be called soon to
give Maj. Gen. Albert L. Cox, COM
manding the guard a chance to
testify. He could not attend today's
session.
Joseph McGarraghy, speaking for
the Board of Trade, cautioned the
subcommittee that much more
might be involved than the receipts
from sales Of hot-dogs and soda
pop or hat checking. He said it
was quite possible that a big ma
tional organization might want to
stage a banquet at the Armory
which would entail large concession
funds. 80
IF that Is the case" he said. "We
might just as well not set up the
control board. The idea was to let
the Guard keep the relatively small
sums from operation of it's own
canteen and to do with them as it
pleased, but to have other profits
go to the District"
Guard Claims Stressed.
Col. Peyton G. hewitt, adjutant
general of the Guard, said the
Guard probably would not claim
profits from a big banquet affair.
but maintained that. otherwise all
of the concession receipts should go
to the Guard. ~
The proposed Armory board would
consist of the president of the Com
missioners, commanding general of
the Guard and the architect of the
Capitol. The board would name a
manager to promote and handle
nonmilitary uses of the Armory..

take OF judgment in ordering

w. Scott to declare he felt the
prosecutors office. "in effect. was
protecting the interests" Of the

5000, the amount set on the one
remaining active charge. instead of
the full total, Judge Scott con-
tended.

statement:
II have investigated the facts in

the action taken was merely mis-
take of judgment in the nolle PROSE-
(dropping) of the cases without the
defendants being present"
Defendants Presence Required.
1t was pointed out by court at
taches that a principle of law" re-
quires the presence of defendant

clare the 5000 bond forfeited in the

Report B|ames Plight
OF GaIIinger Staff
On 40-Hour Week

The District Health Department
implied the 40-hour week is to be
blamed for staff deficiencies at
Gallinger Hospital in a report to-
day to the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant
health officer, wrote District Sub
committee Chairman Dworshak, that
District health officials would like
to discuss the effect of the curtailed
work week when Gallinger appro-
priations are reviewed by Congress
this year.
Reduction in the work week, the
Gallinger administration has re-
peatedly insisted, has created an
extra strain on the hospitals under
manned staff and an increase in the
number of positions authorized by
Congress is felt to be necessary, in
order to compensate for the 40-hour
week, effective last year.
DR.. Seckinger's report, although
not released by Senator Dworshak's s
office until today. reached the Sem
ate last week. The Appropriations
Committee official had asked Health
Officer George c. Rutland for an
explanation of recent widespread
criticism Of the hospital admins
tration, and a justification of the
extra staff positions the hospital is
requesting.
DR.. Seckinger explained that he
was answering the Senate communi-
cation in DR.. Ruhland's temporary
absence from the city. Dr. Rutland
has since returned.
The report was accompanied by
statistics and other exhibits de-
signed to show that the District
health officials have done their best
to fill existing vacancies on the
Gallinger staff.
Spokesman for the Senate Com
mittee indicated no further action
was contemplated until the Gal
Iinper hearings begin.
