CANDIDATES FACE | NEW ENGLAND TEST Roosevelt-Smith Contest Due in New Hampshire Vote Tuesday. BY D. HAROLD OLIVER Associated Press Staffl Writer. March political winds, having shredded the legislative truce flag on Capitol Hill, shift to New England this week to stir up the first voting contest for the Democratic presidential nomination between the rival camps of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith. The present and former New York Governors will come to grips in New Hampshire on Tuesdey in the first presidential preference primary. Only eight votes in the national con- vention at Chicago June 27 are at stake, but supporters of the victor un- doubtedly will seize upon the advantage for all it is worth in gauging Eastern sentiment. Roosevelt Given Edge. Full delegate slates pledged to the oppusing candidates are in the fleld Roosevelt, with the support of most State leaders, is belleved by observers to have the edge. James Roosevelt, son of the Goyv- ernor, who has been organizing in Massachusetts, went to New Hampehire and conferred with leaders. Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, a stanch supporter of Smith, spoke in Manchester and Nashua for the titular leader. TRoosevelt and Smith, who conferred Priday in New York for the second time since becoming contestants for the nomination, but without any open political developments, are likely to clash again later in Massachusetts and ‘Vermont. Smith has carried his receptive can- didacy a step further by consenting to use of his name in the Bay State pri- mary April 26, but he insists he will make no personal campaign for dele- gates. Undecided in Bay State. Roosevelt managers are undecided whether to enter him in Massachusetts. Both Democrats and Republicans will choose 32 delegates each this week. This will bring the Democratic total already selected to 96, the Republican to 65. Each party will have 1,154 votes in the June conventions, with 770, or two-thirds, necessary to nominate for the Democrats and 578, & majority, for the Republicans. Besides New Hampshire, which also chooses 11 Republican delegates Tues- day, Kansas, South Carolina and Min- nesota will select by the older conven- tion method during the week. On the same day as the New Hamp- shire primary, Kansas Republicans will name seven delegates at large, and the Tolbert faction will convene in South Carolina to name 14 more Republican delegates. The Hambright faction meets there April 26 to name 8 similar slate. Both factions claim suthority. On Wednesday Minnesota will name 24 delegates to the Democratic con- vention. Seven counties are sending delegations to the State meeting pledged to Roosevelt. The others are sending uninstructed groups with some favor- able to Smith. . ‘The Republicans, who foresee Presi- dent Hoover's renomination without much trouble, picked up 20 delegates for him during the last week, 8 more in Kansas, bringing his total there to 10, and 12 in Louisiana, where two factions named Hoover delegates to develop the first seating contest. Hoover forces also claim 11 delegates at large from New York, already named, but uninstructed. Line-up Is Unchanged. The week saw no change in the Dem- ocratic delegate line-up. Of the 64 already chosen, 22 from Oklahoma are instructed for Gov. Murray, 20 from Louisiana are uninstructed, 16 from, ‘Washington State are for Roosevelt and 6 from Alaska are claimed by both Roosevelt and Murray camps. A pri- mary there April 24 will settle the issue. ol tiEing polnte, i Con: campaign ng points - gress, particularly concerning Federal economy and unemployment relief, Re- publican leaders are growing more Thopeful.

This was the climax of the children’s orchestral season which the National Symphony has made so popular. Hun- dreds of children attended the last con- cert at Central High School yesterday m . When it was over they were reluctant to leave and asked Conductor Kindler if they couldn't sing “Auld Lang Syne" over again. Before this they had listened with obvious enthu- siasm to Mr. Kindler's musical exami- nation, which consisted “in answering the question in advance,” and to & pro- which featured Rebecca and elope Tarwater in a series of Ten- nessee Mountain songs, some of which they, had sung before &t a similar morn- ing concert. The orchestra also played the Jarnfelt “Preludium,” Geainger's “Irish Tune from County Derry,” and “The Flight of the Bumble Bee," all of which were played by request. The awards for the letters were then | delivered by Miss Kindler in the name of her father and the orchestra. The medals were designed by Mrs. L. Corrin Strong, member of the Women’s Com- mittee of the National Symphony Or- chestra, and well known in Washing- ton as a sculptress.

I have attended five of them and each one has been more interesting, more educational and more beautiful than the last. “To me music is a sacred thing, something with so far greater a mean- ing than most of us realize that it is pitiful that people in general know so little of its beauty. Your concerts have shown us children a little of its real meaning and sowed the seed of appre- ciation for good music in our hearts. “I myself have Jearned more than I can say sbout the orchestral instru- ments.

They were not told in a com- plicated way, but in the simple form and language which we could all ap- preciate and understand. “The music itself has been indescrib- ably lovely. It is played so beautifully that it has held the strict attention of every one. So much of the music that was played is familiar to us and who does not enjoy music more when he knows it? The type of music that was chosen, the way it was played and the interesting little accounts you gave us of each piece before it was played all aided in making us love it as we did. “I enjoved every concert to the ut- most and am only sorry that there will be only one more of them. “Very sincerely yours, “MART!

Walsh of Richmond County said, to the slaying of his wife, Elsie, 33, last January 1. He had been missing since the woman, & Russian dancer whom he met in China, was found dead two days later | in Miller Barracks, Staten Island. Smith, a native of White Cloud, Mich., said he had trouble with his Army accounts at Camp Dix, N. J., and had decided to commit suicide, Walsh said. On New Year's Eve, he visited his wife and, during the night, awoke with a determination to kill both her and himself. After shooting Mrs. Smith_through the head as she slept, Walsh sald, Smith lost his nerve and fled to New York City, where he had stayed since. He was pick=d up tonlght, Walsh said, when he was seen walkipg aim- Soon afterward he confessed, and physi- cians, who examined him, pronounced |him to be suffering from mental dis- orders. | Smith, Walsh said, enlisted at San He will be turned over NURSES TO ENTERTAIN A program of classical music will| feature the Spring meeting of the | Graduate Nurses' Association of the | District at 7:45 o'clock tomorrow night lin the Red Cross Chapter | Seventeenth and E streets. |~ Musicians who will appear on the program, arranged by Miss Mary A Cryder, teacher of voice, include Miss | something to be regarded with awe, | Lijlian Feldman, mezzo soprano, and | Miss Mary Alexander, pianist A business meeting will be called fal- | lowing the musicale to take final action {on the revision of the assaciation's bv- | laws.

I searched for signs of Spring today And found a cardinal swinging low Upon a dogwood’s frosted branch— A flash of flame against the snow. I heard the song of winds today— They sang the gentlest lullaby Composed of brooks and scent of fire, | The blueness of the Summer sky. I've been in Paradise today, Transported by a symphony— The beauty of the universe Unlocked by music’s magic key. The third prize letter, written by Kelvin Duane Kable, included, in part, the following: “I have used my mother's opera glasses to watch the players’ hands on the strings and bow. This has helped me to learn how to use my fingers (in violin practice). Every one says I can- not sit still very long, but I have been able to sit still through your concerts | because I have enjoyed them. It was fun to see the little boy and girl play the piano and that made me know that little children ean play.” Jean Davis' correspondence with the conductor was protracted and excep- tionally lively and frequently trenchant. She stated, in one place, that she liked | Ann Sugar, a child piano soloist re- | cently heard at a children's concert. | “I can't tell you why I liked her be- cause I don't know myself, but I know I liked her,” she wrote.
