The size Of audiences which
patronized concerts this past
season, especially those free of
charge, shows definitely that the
public recognizes the stimulating
effect of musical art and makes
good use of it. Participation in
q performance as an auditor Is
the best way to learn about music.
Repeated hearings of the same
compositions create understanding.
Listening develops the mind, ap-
probation and taste.
The educational possibilities
offered by the public perform
ances Of music should be seriously
studied at this time of the year
by parents, teachers. by develop
ing musicians and by Aymen
music lovers. These different
groups are as important as the
professional artist in the con-
tinued process of strengthening
the cultural life of this country.
Cooperation between them
should be fostered, and while it
operates more pronouncedly with
the adults, it should start with
the children.
Music Begins at Home.
That musical education does
not begin, or end, with lessons is
a well-known fact. It's deepest
roots will be found in the family
circle where music is cultivated
out it can terminate and grow
in the concert hall. Children of
musical parents absorb subcon-
SciouSly and have an advantage
over those who live in a different
environment. While the radio has
done much for the spreading of
music literature it will never take
the place of Give" music. Only a
personal contact with a performer
can completely satisfy and fill the
need. interpretations differ as
do personalities. Each artist
leaves his imprint upon the work
he plays. This makes for variety
and teaches by comparison.
A common mistake made by
concert-goers, laymen, amateurs
and professionals alike. is that
they are frequently partial to
one type of music and ignore
every other. Those interested in
voice usually listen only to sing
erS, instrumentaliSts to those
whose pursuits are similar to their
own. Both are inclined to dis
regard opportunities at hand TO
hear everything, to observe and TO
learn.
It is impossible to become
thoroughly acquainted with any
composers idiom without being
familiar with his works in every
form. Only by hearing specialists
of each branch of music can a
student hope to round out his ed
ucation and improve his style, or
the music lover to broaden his
vision. Taking into consideration
the city'S musical activity no one
can say that means for musical
education are wanting. Every de-
partmert of music. except one

TAX HIKE
URGED BY
SEC. TREA.
Synder Wants 10 Raise
Enough Money TO Bal
dn1e u. 5. Budget

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 = ZAP -
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
said today President Truman will
call on Congress this week to raise
taxes enough to balance the budget.
Snyder refused to give any figure
whatsoever on how much taxes that
would involve-or how much the
budget will be for the fiscal year
beginning next July 1.
There were indications elsewhere
that tax hike of nearly 40 percent
in present taxes would be neces-
sary.
The Treasury Chief told reporters
the President will lay down a full
pay-as-you-go" policy in his eco
nomic report Friday and his budget
message next Monday. This, Snyder
said. will be followed by specific
tax-boosting recommendations in a
special message before February l.
The Presidents recommendations
will deal with fiscal 1852, beginning
July l, which will be the first year
in which the speeded up rearma-
ment program will show real i'm
pact on the budget.
Earlier there had been talk on
Capitol Hill that taxpayers might
get a years breather before taking
on any new tax burden although
the chairman of the House Tax
Committee said he expects new
leyies to be enacted by midsum-
mer.
One Democratic Congressional
leader said he understands the bud
get will be in the neighborhood of
$40, 900, 100000 and that Mr.. Truman
will ask for about $15,000,000 900
in new taxes. That would be jump
of nearly 80 percent.
This official, who asked not to
be named, has been in close touch
with the White House on tax and
budget matters.
That's the way the program was
shaping UP the last heard" he told
a reporter.
He added that original plans
called for a budget of about $75,-
600, 900, 900, but I understand they
have decided to cut that back some
to around $4,000, 100000. Last min
ute changes might make the figures
a little higher than that"

No Rearnlinq
Of Japanese
Says Yoshida

TOKYO, Jan. 10-tR-Japan's
Prime Minister. Shigeru Yoshida,
told the world tonight that re-
armament OF his nation should not
be undertaken without "discrees
handling as well as mature DELHI
erations."
The political chief of Japans
100000 people said putting arms
into the hands of the japanese
was not to be taken lightly.
In a speech at the Tokyo Cor
respondents Club, Yoshida said
there were two prime reasons why
building up of any army would be
serious move:
/. Some nations are desperately
afraid of the implications of the
renewal Of japanese armies. In
ternally, we have every reason to
avoid doing anything which might
intensity that fear"
2."Moreover the cost of rearm-
ament would upset our entire pro-
gram for economic rehabilitation"

Congress today to approve a draft

He told a Senate Armed Services
subcommittee that system of uni

Marshall, former Army Chief of
Staff and former Secretary of
State, was the first witness at what
Chairman Lyndon johnson (D-Tex)
of the subcommittee said would be
an overall hearing on manpower

Under the present draft law, boys
of 10 are required to register but
they cannot be drafted until they
reach 10. Their service after induc-
ton is limited to 81 months.
The present draft law expires
next July 9. The Senate subcom-
mittee hearings are aimed at de-
veloping such questions as how long
the law should be extended and
with what changes.

January 80, it was announced at
last nights meeting of the local
civil defense council.
The former lack of interest locally
in civil defense is gradually being
overcome, according to the local
civil defense council members pre-
sent at the meeting. This lack OF
interest has made it difficult not
only in completing the civil defense
organization but also in obtaining
volunteers for courses in Red Cross
first aid, home nursing, nurses aides
and canteen services. The council
was informed last night that about
go women have indicated their de-
side to take the nurses aide course.

investigating this matter to ascer-
tain to what extent such need can
