By the Associated Press MOUNT VERNON, Ohio, January 26—In a scathing ecriticism of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Senator C. C. Dill of Washington, was on record today with ja statement that {1t may be the first step toward Gov- ernment ownership | of the railroads. Addressing the | Knox County Dem- ocratic victory din- nér last night, the Senator also at- tacked the mora- torium measure, the farm loan re- lief bill and the first deficiency bill Senator Dill charged the corpo- ration was formed chiefly to aid the railroads, which have an estimated $1,000,000,000 worth of securities due next year. “If this corporation loans the rail- reads $1,000,000,000 it will put the Gov- ernment so deep in the railroad busi- ness it will never get out,” he said. “With $1,000,000,007 invested and the railroads unable to pay their first mort- gages, the Government will be com- pelled to loan more money to protect its earlier loans, so that step by step the Government will take over the railroads.” “The Reconstruction Finance Corpo- ration is a big name for a big organiza- tion to loan a big amount of money to big_ business institutions.” Commenting on the appoiniment of Charles G. Dawes to the presidency of the finance body, Senator Dill said, “the truth is that Charley Dawes is the best work horse President Hoover has, but the President better be careful or he'll overwork him.” He added, “the tragic thing about Mr. Hoover's plans to end the panic is that he leaves about 7,000,000 unemployed.” - . o= CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

She warned that those |other than a lucky omen. who oppose the pay-slashing proposals and cheers were dimmed only by the thunderous applause. The audience was composed of the First Lady of the Land, members of the cabinet, diplomats, Senators and Representatives and others prominent in soclety, as well as musicians and music lovers. Their enthusiasm and delight sometimes broke into a com- position, or between the movements of the soratas. | Program Stupendous. The program chosen by Mr. Pade- rewski for the recital, which was given [ for the American Red Cross fund for | the unemployed, was a stupendous one, opening _with Liszt's arrangement of Bach's “Prelude and Fugue in A Minor” | and including a Mozart Sonata and a Chopin Sonata, as well as composi- tions of lighter vein. Mr. Paderewski played the Bach and | the two sonatas without leaving the| stage, a test of endurance that would | be difficult for much younger musicians. | Yet there was no sign of fatigue at the close of the Chopin sonata. These | three compositions were striking con- trasts, the difficult Bach, with its in-| tricate passages, the delicate and grace- | ful Mozart music and the romantic| Chopin, into which Mr. Paderewski puts | all_the poetry of his native Poland. The second half of the program (for he divided it into two “sittings”) con- tained a group of Chopin, a noctourre, | mazurka, etude and valse, each played {in Paderewski’s own inimitable style; a Liszt Hungarian rhapsody. In each composition there was warmth of tone and tremendous volume, brilliant and well-nigh perfect scales, cadenzas and arpeggios, and through it all a well defined and well marked rhythm. Many times he took liberties with the tempo, but never did he lose the rhythm. One of the charms of his playing is the very evident enjoyment which he appears to get. Encores at Close. ‘There were no encores until the close of the program, and after several re- calls, the audience still remaining seated, he played Chopin's “Berceuse,” and as the last note died out, without tak- ing his hands from the keyboard, he dashed into the same composer’s etude, known as the “Butterfly.” Again' he was recalled and his second encore was another Hungarian rhapsody of Liszt, and after several more recalls, he came back and played Schubert’s Impromptu, | with rich, warm singing tone and great delicacy. Not until the lid of the plano was lowered by an attendent of the hall and his chair, which he uses wherever he plays, was removed from the stage, did the audience start for the exits. It was a great occasion, the former premier of Poland appearing in —his role of one of the world’s great pianists, playing to aid the unemployed of the country which befriended his own peo- ple in their time of need. K. B. LACK OF FRANCHISE ONBILLS ASSAILED Representation Demanded by | Gorgetown Citizens in Pro- test at Passage. Assailing the manner in which the Mapes Committee bills for increased | taxation in the District of Columbia | were “railroaded” through the House, | the Georgetown Citizens' Association | last night reiterated its stand that| Washington should be represented “in | the body that taxes us.” In accentuating its position with ref- erence to the enfranchisement of the District, the association pointed out that no notice was given to residents of this city before the sudden passage of these bills and that such action is con- trary to all American principles.
