enormously important Antibon-
lite Valley dam and irrigation
project. This has been In pro-
cess Of development over q
period Of six or seven years
and probably will require two
years more for completion.
Built at q cost exceeding $50
million. with loans from the
Export-Import Bank and the
Development Loan Fund, the
dam installation and the ir-
rigation system will permit de-
velopment Of perhaps 10000
acres Of agricultural land.
Mistakes have been made in
construction and costs are run
ming higher than originally es-
timated, causing irritations be-
tween Port-au-Prince and
washington. But the long-range
benefits Of this undertaking are
recognized on both sides.
Stresses Technical Aid
In appealing for further as

recognizes that technical advice
from the United States is es-
sential. for this primitive coun-

little along that line.
The Communist movement
in Haiti seems to have beer
limited so far to intellectuals
who are believed by American
officials to be more theoretical
than militant.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Duvaliei
says the danger of spreading
communism is made clear by
recent secret investigations. He
said Red inf1ltration is notable
among teachers and he prom

months.

The sad plight Of Haiti pre-
sents one Of the gravest prob
lens requiring solution If ten
sions are to be eased In the
turbulent Caribbean region.
The little Negro republic is
broke.
The people are impoverished
and hungry. They are poorly
clothed and badly housed.
This Is the fourth Of six articles by
M. Horner based on an intensive
personal survey Of the Coribbeon
trouble spots. Tomorrow's story will
deol with Venezuela and the last
article in the series will sum up
Mr.. HoTner's Impressions.

Roland Hayes returned to
the Rankin Memorial Chapel
at Howard University last night
for another of those evenings
anticipated with the keenest
pleasure.
The program was rich in
music well known to Mr.. Hayes
admirers. One of the most
beguiling of his StandbyS is
Monteverdi's M aledetto,"
which the artist sings with the
greatest adroitneSs, controlling
his pianisSimo to an ever more
subtle Whisper with each sue
ceeding refrain. The incompar-
able Hayes pianissimo was in
evidence throughout the eve
ming, most memorably in "Ab-
sence," a lovely Berlioz song,
and in an unaccompanied spir-
itual which ended the program.
Mr.. Hayes is at his best with
THE early English and Italian
songs of the type which opened
the concert and, of course, with
the spirituals, for which he Is
unexcelled. But there is still
much of great value in his per-
Torrance Of the more physi.
cally demanding German ro-
mantle repertoire. In Bee
thoven's Adelaide" he finds 9
pastoral lyricisfn which Is usu-
ally lost sight Of in the dra-

jim BISHOP:
REPORTER
The Talent Statesmen

You hear a lot on tele-
vision about agents these
days. Most of it is gently dis
paraging. 1t is amusing to
kid the theatrical agent-a
no-talent man who gets 10
per cent Of the stars earn
ings. He is described as a
leech who stands in the wings
waiting for his check, a we'll
dressed heel with a pedi-
cure.
This is libel. The agent
whether he is big like Music
Corporation of America and
William Morrison small and
independent like Maria Horch
and Kenneth Littauer-is a
catalyst who finds work for
talent. Most of our great
actors and writer's would
still be starving in the prov
inceS If it were not for their
agents.
1 know. Once upon a time,
I was a literary agent and,
as was also a writer at the
time, / was the only agent
who had an agent. l sold
stuff to book publishers and
to the magazine editors-al-
ways trying for the best price
and the best terms. In all, /
had 1870 clients, among whom
were Nevil Shute and Dashiel
Hammett and Irwin Shaw
and Walter Van Tilburg
Clark.
Most Of the time I was the
buffer between the client and
his ego. The men mentioned

But. after two years of abuse,
I went back to writing. Being
a cipher does not hurt a man,
but being a cipher in debt
does. That was my category.
I wrote a 700-word outline
on a book to be called THE
Day Lincoln Was Shot" I
took it to an agent.
She is Phyllis Jackson of
MICA. Il must confess" she
said, that I know very little
about your writing, but. If
you can do a good job on this
book, it will sell and it will
sell big"
will you represent me?"
I said. She nodded. I had an
agent. The book, in time, was
written. 1t was turned down
by five publishers. That made
it unanimous. They're nuts"
Miss Jackson said in a lady
like way, This is a great
book"
She kept trying. Harper
and Brothers bought it. The
book became lucky. Lights
were Pickering everywhere,
like hitting the jackpot in
a pinball machine. 1t became
a Book of the Month and a
lot Of other things.
I knew all the publishers
pretty well before Imet Miss
Jackson. If I had been mar
keting the book myself, I'd
have given up after three
turn-downs. The story Of

literary-is not confined to

DEAR ABBY.
He's Got q Locked Room
By ABIGAIL VAN buren,

DEAR ABBY: My wife
thinks she's on the verge of
a nervous breakdown and is
seeing a doctor: He claims l
am the cause of her trouble
because I have a room in the
house which l keep locked
up. 1t contains my business
records, personal correspond
ence, magazines, tools, etc.
If she ever wants anything
from this room, she has only
to ask for 1t when I'm
around. I spend most Of my
evenings in this room because
I'm tired after a hard days
work and don't want to be
disturbed. If 1 don't keep this
room locked, she'd be snoop-
ing around and would mislay
things trying to clean up. /
don't think this is anything
for her to get upset about.

Hayes Offers Rich,
FomiIior Program

matte renditionS of more opu-
lent, younger voices. His great
understanding of Schubert's
songs is set forth in immaculate
musical phrases and verbal ar
ticulation.
Reginald Boardman accom-
panied Mr.. Hayes with his
customary skill and sympathy,
characteristic of the close col
laborator of many years stand
ing.
Mr.. Hayes met with the stu
dents and friends of Howard's
Music Department this noon to
discuss the singers art. While
I'm sure many young singers
found this an instructive ex-
perience, no lesson in finely
wrought melodic phrasing, i'm
peccable diction and genuine
muSicianship could be as valut
able as the practical applica-
ton of these qualities Mr.. Hayes
made last night.
