] COUZENS T0 SEEK VAL PROBE POVER New Committee Head to Ask I. C. C. Right to Discover Holdings in Mergers. By the Associated Press. Greater power for the Interstate Com- merce Commission to permit it to de- termine the actual holders of railroad sscurities involved in consolidations is favored by Senator Couzens, Repub- lican, of Michigan, who will take over the chairmanship of the Senate inter- state commerce committee. The Senator, however, is in no hurry to have the Senate act on the Fess rail MUSIC WOMAN COMPOSERS’ SONGS. A program compos2d chiefly of songs | was presented ‘by three well-known members of the compoesers’ group of the League of American Pen Womeér at the Congressional Country Club yesterday afterncon. The event was arranged by Dorothy De Muth Watson of this city. To Mrs, Watson belongs the credit of assembling both composers and the gracious group of Washington singers who interpreted the songs. A large audience, including & number of mem- bers of the dipiomstic corps, filled the Pompeiian room and showed much enthusiasm over the proglym. The novelty event of i.e afternoon was the Initial presentation anywhere of a group of “Four Songs of the Air.”| The composer, Pearl Adams of New York Cily, stated in a brief foreword that she attemptzd to give a suggcstion of old Irish melody in the working out of this grouo, in deference to the Irish birth of Lady Mary h, British aviatrix, who wrote the lyrics of these road consolidation bill, reporied the committee last session. Unless the is some assurance of a change in t| administration policy at the extra so sion, opening the way for House con-| sideration of raiiroad legislation, he wants to wait until tha regular session | in December. The- Michigan Senator sees no ad- vantage in the Senate passing & bill at ! this time, it it will b> impossible for | the House to act for perhaps another | year. He believes ths Senate commit- tee could profitably spend that year in| further study on the measure. | While he did not support the consoli- | dation bill of Senator Fess, Republican, | Ohio, last session In the committee, | Couzens said yesterday he was not op- | posed to the general language of that | legislation. He was agalnst reporling | it to the Senaie until the committee had furiher opportunity to study his own proposition. Under present law. Couzens said, it ‘was impossible for the Interstate Com- merce Commission to examine into! holding companies. He fears that th2 holding companies of some railroads may make a practice of buying up sscurities of competing lines and wants the commission clothed .with of all railroad securities. “I want the commission to know the motives behind the moves for consoli- dation as well as the obvious facts in- volved,” he said. Senator Watson of Indiana is relinquishing the chairman- | ship of the interstate commerce com- | mittee because of added duties falling upon him as the new leader of the Senate, but will remain on the com- mittee. | ning. contralto, sang the | Adams spoke of an inlention to reflect | its discoverics, full | power to examine into the actual owners | “aviation love songs.” Caroline Man- congs most | reditably. pariicularly so considering | he fact that she had to prepare them on very short notice. Although Miss the power of the scientific world and through music, there was no modernistic dissonance. The songs are lilting and the.words are not unusual. There are some trying vocal intervals, especially in “Up Hill, Up Wind, Up Strcam,” which requires the | contralto to climb suddenly to high | soprano for & typical, banal ending. Elvina Neal Rowe, & charming young soprano, sang several songs of Marianne Genet's of Pittsburgh, in which she has been heard here previously. With the advantage of famitiarity with her songs, Mrs. Rowe gave them admirable in- | terpretation. The lyrics of most of these songs were wrilten by Grace Thompson Seton, a former president of | the league, who was introduced at the beginning of the program. | Arthur Talbutt, baritone, who has fairly recently com: to Washington, showed a resonant and very pleasing baritone voice in_two Genet so “Out of the Deep” and “Si-Moon,” a dramatic song with werds by Mrs. Seton. | Mary Lindsay-Oliver, the third com- | | poser on the program, was not repre- | sented by some of her songs as| originally planned, but instead she | played the piano works “Whirlwind” | and “Lamentation” from “The New | Day” and “Ecstasy,” a short etude.
