Wh-n Reed flings his colors to the bresze for 1932, the expectation is that he will seek to divest himself, in some degre-, of the name REED. John J. Raskob's summoning of the Democratic hcsts on March 5, to map out the oncoming presidential cam- pa‘gn, may sooner or later be the signal for Reed's plunge into the race. “Jim" red at the thought of “Raskob’s on the Democratic party.” 1le is for lifting the mortgage and cast- ing out the mortgagor promptly and bodily. Reed will have much to say on that score when he mounts the wall to trumpet his own cause. He will assail Raskobism, in its financial aspect, not on any personal grounds. as far as the Democratic national chairman is concerned, but on the rounds of its inherent political un- healthiness. Reed thinks his party has become a vassal and he would rescue its machinery from that bondage. Nearly 70 Years Old. “Jim” is climbing toward 70. When anybody reminds him of that, he snorts: “All my ancestors lived to be a hundred.” He is about the youngest near-septuagenarian in the ~ United States. He was never so busy at the law as he now is—not even in the days about which he used publicly to boast in his congressional directory auto- biography: “Prosecutor of Jackson County, Missouri, for three years. Pro- secuted 187 persons; convicted 185." Clients camp on_the doorstep of his modest Kansas ‘City chambers. He| picks his cases nowadays and they | have to be class A causes before “Jim™ deigns to take them up. He has made a pile of money since he quit the Sen- ate, in 1929. It was frankly in order to do so that he temporarily abandoned public life. Now that he finds him- self rejuvenatod, both financially and physically, by his respite from arduous | senatorial duties, amid which _he gathered a crop of 18 years of white hair, “Jim” is ready for the political warpath again. What a gorgeous battle it would be | should the fates pit Reed against Hoover in 1932. For the better part of 15 years the two men have regarded ( each other as arch-foes, to sail into the depression issue, with Hoover as the principal target of his ruthless in- | vective, probably strikes “Jim" Reed as about the most inviting job he could wish to tackle. | self so well suited to the part of Yancey. When he was cast in this role, a long drawn-out growl was heard from coast to coast. Mr. Dix seemed the last person for the part. But he has fooled the growlers, and done a good job. He is, as a matter of fact, pretty con- sistently excellent, except when he is in the midst of his oratory.’ He even gets away with his defense of Dixie, which is a pretty over- . “dramatic” bit of business. The final sequences of the picture are as incredulous as they were in the book. Somehow, when it comes to the “Congresswoman” part and the ofl tragedy, the audience’s credulity has just about exploded. But this is after the best has gone along, and after one has been sit- ting there a good two hours—so one may be expected to be slightly weary. The players who appear to best advantage other than Mr. Dix are Edna May Oliver and Estelle Taylor. E. de 8. MELCHER. SOUGHT By a Staft Correspondent of The Star.

Boy Violinist Wins Ovation at Recital. O say that Yehudi Menuhin is a prodigy is no longer fair. He is infinitely more than that. He is one of the great- est violinists of this day. Think of him, as you listen to him playing his mellow Stradivarius, not as a 14-year-old boy, but as a vet- eran exponent of his veteran art. Shut your eyes while he does a Men- delssohn “Con- certo” or a Bach “partita” and the image evoked will be that of a man full grown, playing as few can play even after a Jife- time of study. ‘The impres= sion of matu- rity and infinite advancement since his last concert here was evident in his re- cital yesterday afternoon at Consti- tution Hall. A large audience gave him an ovation. Afterward he was besieged «by a crowd of admirers, some of whom had come all the way from Ba'llimore to hear him. One Jady in that crowd said incredulous- 1y, “Why, he looks positively tired!” That this might very well be the cace was not hard to believe. Yehudi had played a two-hour pro- gram. He had included the Schu- bert “Rondo,” the Bach “Solo Par- tita,” doubly difficult with no piano support; the Mendelssohn “Con- certo in E Minot” and seven shorter selections, two of which insistent applause forced him to play twic He had done them all wiihou flinching—with something that re- minded one strongly of his great friend and admirer, Jascha Heifetz. Yehudi has, in fact, come very near to growing up. He is now able to tune his violin himself. He plays with feeling—a feeling that will no doubt expand even more in time. His tone is smooth and velvety, his bowing easy and not stilted even in the transitional movements and his technique is something that makes one readily understand why Einstein sald after hearing him “This little Yehudi proves-to me again that our dear cld Jehovah is still alive.” This young artist does not—as well he might—cut down on his pro- grams They are as long and as dif- ficult as those used by the elder virtuosos. He comes out alone on the stage and undertakes something like the Bach “Partita,” a frighten- ing thing, since the violin seems so small and so humble without the Will Rogers Says: Yehudi Menuhin.

TH!R! is no question but that Alice Finckel is destined to be heard from soon—very soon- -on the great metropolitan concert stage, and that she and her husband, Alden Finckel, can present a pro- gram with more grace than almost anybody ‘in town. The scope of their merits, in wkich there was no amateurish mincing of details, all full-blooded expression given to music of the firit rank. was more than evident yesterday at the morn- ing" concert givan by the Friday Morning Music Clun in Barker Hall. Due to a 9:30 a.m. illness of Henri Sokolov, the National String Quin- tet, which had promised to play the Cesar Franck “Quintet in F minor.” was prevented from appearing. But this noted music club, with its usual briskness, found Emily Coville wiil- ing to oblige with some songs, and those two admirable young artists, the Finckels, ready to play a Rach- maninoff concerto without batting an eye. The hall, crowded to the ceiling with excited youngsters as well as admiring old-timers, voiced its ap- proval with more intensity than usual. It well-nigh cheered when Mrs. Pinckel polished off the diffi- cult Bach-Busoni “Chaconne” with force, energy and a brilliant polish that one could scarcely credit to so young a musician. An encore fol- lowed. Then Mrs. Coville, in her charming way, sang three Russian songs—" We're a little uncertain,” said Miss Lucy Brickenstein, but Mrs. Coville wasn't—and she sang two more English songs, and an encore which she richly deserved. ‘The finale was the Rachmaninoff —=s0 well done, except for an oc- casional off-tone by Mr. Finckel, that those present sat there fairly amazed—at least this listener did— for at 11:45 of the m-rning on~ fen't apt to expect such things, or get them either. |HALIFAX COUNTY SHERIFF DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME Death Ends Career of One of Most Fearless Peace Officers in Southside Virginia.

From time to time advertisements, with a coupon read- ing about as follows, make their appearance: Y “Perfume and powder—manufacturer’s intro- ductory offer—bring this coupon and 98c and re- ceive $5.00 gift package of perfume and powder— you save $4.02. Beautiful strand of pearls FREE.” This coupon method of arousing interest gives a false idea of the real value of perfume combinations, pearls, fountain pens, etc. Their value is usually no more than the actual selling price. This selling scheme injures public confidence in advertising he- cause it imposes upon the public, and that is why the Better Busi- ness Bureau opposes it. Usually the sale is staged by an out-of-town sales promoter who merely borrows the name and rents temporary space from some shopkeeper. However, most merchants refuse to loan the prestige of their name or store to any such scheme. This is another step forward for Washington advertising—another evidence that merchants closely watch the interest of the public. The appearance of this announcement in these columns is evidence that this newspaper co-operates with “and supports Better Business for your protection. the Bureau The Better Business Bureau of Washington, D.
