Mr.. Cugat is not anticipating
any wane in the popularity Of the
South American music he plays
for North Americans, of course.
He will follow his local stay at
the Capitol with a date at the
Strand in New York, a five-week
engagement at the Astor Roof
and then a visit to his native
Spain and other European coun-
tries. Last year, Mr.. Cugat played
only rumbas and sambas and kin
dred rhythms on the Astor Roof
and broke all the records the ho-
tel ever had. He expects to do the
same this year, musically speak

far as the records go.
Mr.. Cugat, a canny business
man, always sees to it that there
is some insurance that business
will be good wherever he goes. He
plays a New York theater date
only if the accompanying picture
has his approval. He doesn't want
to be taking the blame when some
Glass B turkey drives the custom

appears only in the springtime.

New York in the summer and the

only in South America, apparent

the Cugat music to be North
American. In North America they
like it South American.
Oh, yes, Mr.. Cugat is getting to

Indiana braced for new flood
threats. The Weather Bureau

Brannan Farm Plan
Again Hit by Kline

The Brannan farm plan, au-
thored by Agriculture Secretary
Brannan, has come in for more
blasts from the head of the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation.
Federation President Allan B.
Kline told the Washington Rotary
Club luncheon at the Mayflower
Hotel yesterday:
If you think the Brannan plan
will give you cheaper food, you
are crazy"
He compared some of the state
ments made in support of the
plan to Fabian socialist state
ments" in Great Britain at the
turn of the century.
IF you want to get your
moneys worth for food, take it
to the grocery store" Mr.. Kline
told the club.
Mr.. Brannan's proposal calls
for surplus perishables to seek
their own level. If prices averaged
below support levels, the Gov
ernment would make up the diff
ference to farmers.

knowledge that her purse con-
tanned confidential documents the
night they were arrested. The
couple had been together for
two-and-a-half hours before their
arrest. Mr.. Pomerantz said, and
Miss Coplon had ample opportu-
nifty to pass the documents in her
purse to Gubitchev if that had
been her mission. Yet when
Gubitchev was searched not a
single document was found on his
person, the lawyer said.
Wants Cold War Ignored.
Mr.. Pomerantz pleaded with the
jury to consider the evidence with
their minds free of this atmos-
phere of a cold war between Rus
sia and the United States which
confuses everything these days"
He reminded the jurors that
Judge Sylvester Ryan had in
structed them that the morals of
the defendants should not be
considered an issue in this case.
He said he was not condoning
Gubitchev's actions as a married
man in the courtship of Miss Cop
Ion. He will have to answer to
that to higher authority" Mr..
Pomerantz said, "but it is not an
issue in this case"
Before the opening arguments
began. opposing counsel met in
the chambers of Judge Ryan to
continue the argument which re-
suited yesterday in an angry split
between MIR. Pomerantz and Archi-
bald Palmer, attorney for Miss
Coplon.

that Mr.. Palmer be prevented

which resulted in the conviction
OF Miss Coplon on charges Of pill

documents with intent to turn
them over to a Russian agent.
Mr.. Pomerantz served notice
yesterday that he would ask Judge
Ryan to declare a mistrial later
today If Mr.. Palmer was permitted
to discuss the Washington trial in
his opening address.
The jurist ruled yesterday that
MIR. Palmer would be permitted
to discuss the Washington trial
in his opening statement provid-
ing he did not mention the out
come of that case. Miss Coplon
was convicted in that trial and
sentenced to serve from 40 months
to 10 years in prison.

Democrats Assemble
For 3-Day Conference
And Jefferson Jubilee
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, May 13.-Democrats
from across the Nation were in
Chicago today for a three-day
party conference and jefferson
Jubilee celebration.
The biggest political show since
the national party conventions
two years ago will end Monday
night with Chicago Stadium
speech by President Truman.
William M. Boyle, jr., chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, told the party leaders to-
day to give voters first-hand re-
ports on the Truman administra-
tion's stewardship. He said such
strategy can win for the Demo-
Gratis in the fall campaigns. He
declared the Republicans are de-
liberately distorting the facts.
Panel Talks Begin.
The unusual 15-event program
is attracting Democratic politi-
clans from all 48 States. 1t marks
THE 150th anniversary of Jeffer-
sons election as President.
The first two days of panel
talks on campaign questions en-
phasized women's youth, and ma
tionality problems.
Mr.. Boyle addressed an open
meeting of the national commit
tee before it went into closed ses-
sionS at the Blackstone Hotel.
He said the Chicago powwow
gives the party an opportunity to
compose different opinions"
within the party on various ma
tional issues.
e Our Democratic Party is at
tuned to the tempo and needs of
the times for the important elec-
tions of 1880" he declared.
Boyle to Be Host Tonight.
He said first hand reports being
given by Mr.. Truman on his trans
continental tour, and by his cab-
met members when they meet in
Chicago tomorrow for a televised
program, will hurt the COP.
"You will have the necessary
ammunition to effectively answer
the misstatements and distortions
deliberately developed and cir
culated by the Republican opposi-
tion," Mr.. Boyle said.
Il don't know of a better way
of getting at the facts than by q
personal report of the officials
responsible. :"
Through what we learn here
and what we resolve to achieve
here we can be assured of a Demo-
cratic victory in 1885,"
Prominent guests among the
5000 Democratic visitors will be
entertained tonight by Mr.. Boyle
at a private reception and buffet.
Visiting Governors will be hon
oreQ at q breakfast tomorrow,
given by Illinois Gov. Adlai Il.
Stevenson, a Democrat.
After the public cabinet meet
ing tomorrow afternoon at the
Civic Opera House, Vice Presi-
dent Barkley. and other Washing
ton figures will attend a civic
dinner given by q Chicago host
group.
President Truman is expected
to arrive from Wisconsin tomor-
row evening.
Most of his "a hours in Chicago,
however, before he goes to the sta
dium Monday evening, will be
devoted to rest and private con-
ferences in the Blackstone Hotel.
