FRENCH PAYMENT OF DEBT IS URGED Resolution Is Presented Chamber to Pay U. S. $19,000,000. By the Associated Precs. PARIS, March 18.—The movement to | pay the United States the $19,000,000 in war debt intercst due last Decem- ber 15 was brought officially into the Chamber of Deputies today in a reso- lution urging payment. The call for payment is gaining such support that the government coon may be forced to_favor it openly. Rene Richard, Radical Socialist Deputy, who presented the resolution in the chamber, asserted that a “gesture” at this time would be an excellent move because “a severe crisis has struck the money and credit of the great American republic.” Newspaper Shifts Stand. ‘Ths presentation of the problem in | the chamber caused the Nationalist | newspaper La Liberte, hitherto a vio- lent opponent of payment, to shift its camp and support th> measure | The attitude of President Roosevelt | and the fact that France in refusing to pay in December gave solemn warn- ing of how she fels about the question, the newspapcr continued, meke p2y- ment appear advisable at this t'me. Edouard Herriot, whose government | fell because of his insistence that lhe“ payment be made, has be:n leading the new agitation, supported by larmer; Premier Painleve and other leaders. ‘The movement has had the tacit en- couragement of the government. $19,000,000 Credit Urged. “The chamber,” the resolution of Deputy Richard said, “invites the gov- ernment to place at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America a credit of $19,000,000, the amount of the deferred payment due December 15, 1932.” The resolution will go to the Foreign Affairs Committee, headed and domi- nated by M. Herriot, and to the Finance Committee, the chairman cf which, Louis-Jean Malvy, opposes payment. It probably will not be debated in| the chlmber for about a week. CAPT. MUNGER HEADS NAVAL HOSPITAL HERE‘ Oapt. Curtis B. Munger, Medlcal Corps, U. 8. N, will be in commnnd‘ of the Naval Hospital here for the time being. | ‘This announcement was made yester- day by Rear Admiral Perceval S. Rossiter, the new surgeon general of the Navy, who until a few days ago | was in command of the Washington | Naval Hospital. Capt. Munger has been serving with Admiral Rossiter as executive officer. ‘The surgeon general said no change ‘would be made for the present in the command of the Naval Hospital, as several shifts in positions of high- ranking naval medical officers are in prospect during the Summer. Capt. Munger will remain in command until this new slate is announced, the aa- miral asserted. As Shown Made to Special Order and Including the re-setting of your own MUSIC “Some dance rhythms as used by great composers” as subject matter for illustration, the final young people's concert was given yesterday morning at Cantral High School, thus bringing to a close the serles of concerts which the National Symphony Orchestra had arranged for the children's benefit. A large crowd filled the hall in an- ticipation of the awarding of prizes for the best letter about the con- certs. Dr. Kindler explained how difi- cult it had been to reach a decision as to the best letter, for there had boen so many excellent ones to chcose from. Twenty-four were finally selected, 4 to receive the medals offered and 20 to be given recognition by Dr. Kindler in some manner during the week. When the medals and prizes were be- stowed, Dr. Kindler asked the or- chestra to salute the winners with a special fanfare, which was given heartily, acccmpanied by th: ap- plause of the audience. In the informal talk which has become a delightful feature of these concerts, Dr. Kindler explained the music to be played. A polonaise of eighteenth century statclincss by Bach was followed by the lively military poleneise by Chopin. thus picturing the development of th's dance in a hundred years. The “Dream Pantomine” from ‘Humper- dinck’s “Hansel and Gretel” was given after the story of the opera had been told, with modern tauches, by Dr. Kindler. In response to a special request for a harp solo. Prospero Miraglia, harpist of the National Symphony, Fllyed Hasselman's “Morceau Re- igieux.” Mr. Miraglia plays with a ringing tone which he diminishes with skil) to the faintest pianissimo and marks his interpretation with careful stressing of the sentiment of the composition. That the harp, when well played, is welcomed as a solo instrument was evident from the enthusiastic applause which greeted this first opportunity to hear it independent of the orchestra. Two other request numbers were played. Rimsky-Korsakov's “Flight of the Bumblebee” had to be re- peated and Ravel's “Bolero,” with which the program closed, was fol- lowed through its long development with careful attention by the chil- dren and wildly applauded at the finish. Dr. Kindler told the chil- dren in a short good-by speech how much he had enjoyed these concerts and that he hoped they would all be together again at the tame place next season.

FOR |notable degree and was an accomplished MUSIC FOUNDATION LONGWORTH HONOR Dr. Putnam Announces Trust Established at Library of Congress. Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian, yes- terday announced that & new founda- tion in aid of music has been estab- lished at the Library of Congress in tribute to the memory of Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, late Speaker of the House of Representatives. !xplslninx the purpose of the trust, Dr. Putnam said: “As its title indicates, it is to be devoted to the furtherance of music. It is to commemorate Mr. Lonog- worth's interest in muic and in the promotion of a sound appreciation of the purest and noblest expression of it. He himself had such appreciation in a musician in his own right. A violinist ! of marked ability, he cultivated a genius of understanding of the art as a whole. He served as president of the Friends of Music in the Library of 'Congress, an organization with a netional member- ship, which, besides maintaining a se- ries of concerts with programs of excep- tional refinement, assigns each year a certain portion of its income for the en- richment of the music collection in the Library. Starts With Modest Fund. “The Longworih Foundation starts with a modest fund representing ini- tial contributions by a small ~~oup of the late Speaker's personal friends in Washington. The hope is that it will grow until it reaches a dimension which will permit not only an annual com- memorative caoncert, but provide for other undertakings in its general pur- | pose of ‘the furtherance of music.’ This term in itself invites the interest of pa- trons of music who may wish, individ- ually and co-operatively, to do some- thing for the cultivation of it and of Americans in it, and perceive in the music division of the Library a compe- tent and influential agency toward these ends.” The Library of Congress possesses one of the three largest collecuom of musical scores and literature in the world. The music division has expert administration and maintains a Na- tion-wide relation with musical enter- | prises. Under the Library's manage- | ment is the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge | Foundation, sponsoring concerts for lo- | cal audiences and by radio for the en- | tire country and contributing in aid of AIR PASSENGERS AIR EXPRESS U. S, AIR MAIL Information and reser- vations for all airline destinations. EASTERN AIR TRANSPORT SYSTEM 808 15th STREET, N. W.
