Mrs. Wilhelmina Reeve Baugh-
man, SO, daughter of former

ment. died yesterday in a Rich

Born In Washington and edu-
Gated here, she was the daughter
Of the late Col. Felix Alexander
and Mrs. Wilhelmina Donelson
Maynard Reeve.
Mrs. Baughman had been a
resident of Richmond since her
marriage to DR.. Greer Baughman
a Richmond obstetrician and pro-
fessor at the Medical College OF
Virginia, who died in 1941.
Surviving are two daughters

in control of Congress after theil
surprising election victory.
On that opening day of the ses-
sion they put the new rule or
the books 275 to 142. Voting for
the rule were 225 Democrats, As
Republicans and one American
Laborite. Only 81 Democrats
joined Ill Republicans in oppos-
ing it.
Exceptional Vote.
This was an exceptionally heavy
vote, with AIT of the 435 House
members accounted for. 1t was
the opening day, and a full mem
bership was on hand to be sworn
in. 1t is unlikely so large a vote
will be recorded tive or three
weeks from now, on the proposal
to go back to the old rule.
Advocates of a return to the
old rule believe they have a good
chance of succeeding. They are
counting on the Republicans be
ing more united than a year ago
and on more Southern Democrats
voting for the change.
Speaker Rayburn still had no

posal to go back to the old rule

existing demand. They charged
that the "drys" weren't particu-
larly interested in advertising but
wanted to use the LANCER bill as
stepping stone to new national
prohibition.
Further, they declared, if SELL
ing alcoholic drinks was legal, the
products had as much right to
be advertised as any other legiti-
mate item. Serious economic
consequences, including loss of
many jobs, would result from
enactment of the anti-advertis-
ing measure, the "wets" told the
committee.
Shuns "Next Step" Talk.
In his closing statement yester-
day, Bishop Wilbur E. Hammaker
of the Methodist Board Of Tenn
perance and Public Morals, who
was unofficial manager of the
"dry" presentation, emphasized
his group didn't want to talk
about any next step" after the
LANCER bill.
"The distant scene is not i'm
plemented or involved in this
single STEP" he said. What the
morrow. or the morrow a thousand
or ten thousand days removed,
may bring forth need concern you
not today. Sufficient unto the day
are the political perplexities
thereof. Be sure of this, we shall
never be able to compel the people
to go where they do not want to
CO."
In closing the hearing, Senator
johnson gave both sides 10 days
IN which to file additional data.
He told newsmen a date for con-
sideration Of the LANCER measure
would not be fixed until the
lengthy record had been printed
and staff experts had a chance to
study the constitutional questions
involved.
Legal briefs attacking and de-
1endlng the constitutionality of
the proposed Federal curb on al
coholic beverage advertising were
filed during the hearing.
"Drys" far outnumbered "wets"
as spectators. Supporters of the
bill, most of them representing
long-established temperance or
ganizations, came from all parts
Of the Nation to attend.
Few committee members were
present. Senators Brewster, Re-
publican, Of Maine and Magnuson,
Democrat, Of Washington asked
a few questions, but most Of the
witnesses were permitted to leave
the witness chair as soon as they

Liquor Hearing Ends,
Confidence Expressed
By0utnumbered VETS
By Chris Mothisen

The "drys''-vs.-"wets"h hear.
ing-1950 edition-was brought ts
a close yesterday by Chairman
Johnson of the Senate Commerce
Committee.
AS to what will come of it, the
"drys" displayed hope, tinged with
a doubt born of repeated disap-
|pointment. The "wets" expressed
confidence they have no cause fol-
worry.
The well-attended three-day
hearing in the big caucus room o1
the Senate Of1ce Building had al
its subject a bill introduced by
Senator Langer. Republican, o1
North Dakota. The measure
would prohibit the advertising OF
alcoholic beverages in interstate
commerce - through newspapers

programs or direct mail adver.
tising.
sponsored by Capper.
This is nothing new. Until his
retirement, Senator Capper, Re-
publican, of Kansas, was a peren-
nial sponsor of such legislation
Hearings were held on his bill in
1947 and 1948. Most of those who
testified in the last few days mere
ly were saying the things they had
said previously-on both sides OF
the question.
The "drys" said alcoholic bev.
erage advertising had been de-
signed with great cunning to in
crease the use of liquor, wine and
beer by making drinking appear
as "the thing to do"-an adjunct
OF gracious living. They were
particularly bitter in referring to
the Man of Distinction" type of
whisky ad and the Home Life in
America" series of the brewers.
These. they contended, led i'm
pressionable youth to believe it
was wholly proper to take UP
drinking.
The "wets" insisted that alco.
holic beverage advertising was
not intended to spur consumption,
but merely to obtain for a seq
ment of the industry, or for an
individual maker, fair share OF

ment reports 1,767 for the Wash
ington Civic Orchestra and other
musical events held under its aus
pices.
The Friday Morning Music Club,
which has weekly program from
fall to spring, considers 3,720 a
likely reckoning. Howard Uni
versity places the attendance for
the series Of six concerts in
Rankin Chapel alone at 2.100. The
American University had an au-
dience Of $500; the Catholic Uni
versity, 1000. The YWCA's %
concerts and the 10 at YMCA
gathered in 3,679. The Washing
ton Cathedral figured 21.297 for
its large and small events. The
Department Of Agriculture Or
chestra and Chorister programs
brought together $500 people, the
Pan American Union concerts had
1000 and the Jewish Community
Center, 5000. About 10 extra
concerts in Constitution Hall. by
artists on their own, not spon-
sored by local concert bureaus,
averaged a total attendance Of 49,
064.
The largest figures come from
the service bands, for their special
winter and summer concerts. The
Army Bands gala programs for
the Sesquicentennial increased the
number to top the list at 100, 900.
The Navy Band ranks next with
10000 and the Air Force Band
had 400 for It's Lisner audi
torium and "Iolanthe" perform
ances. The Marine Band. for its
jefferson Memorial concerts alone,
lists 29.200. The Soldiers Home
Band, giving three weekly pro-
grams. reached |8,640.
Symphony Draws $4,000.
The National Symphony esti-
mate is left to the last. From the
management Office the figures
read: $4,000 for the regular sea-
son, 1900 for the children's
programs and 1890 for the
broadcasts sponsored by WMAL
and The Evening Star. The
Watergate total. as given by the
Office, was 25.228. The National
Park Service raises the figure by
1912. The Park Service is par
ticular In trying to discover how
many come to hear music and
consider that those who sit any
where within hearing distance or
take their place on the bridges
are to be counted. The San Carlo
Opera season at the Watergate
brought out $4,000 and the Grass
Roots Opera Company $500 for
the performance of Mozart's
"Cosi fan tutti." The climaxing
record was for kiss Me Kate"
which reached $4,000.
The imposing impression gained
from the survey is that more
than 100000 people liked music
enough to leave their radio and
television programs to journey to
a hall to hear live music. Even If
no admissions were paid. the effort
and time expended in going to a
concert shows the quality Of ap-
probation. In the Washington
area are many more programs not
counted in this poll. and there is
the large and uncountable audi
ence that listens to the broadcasts
OF the local concerts. Surely
nearly a million music lovers in
this city Of Washington discount
for all time the contention the
Nations Capital Is not musically
