Chamberlain Cites “Cour- t age, Wisdom and Initia- i§. tive” of Roosevelt. By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 23.—“An almost miraculous change” has occurred in the United States since the inaugura- tion of President Roosevelt, Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain sald in the House of Commons last . Chamberlain referred to eco- nomic conditions throughout the world as well as in the United States, and his remarks were optimistic. “Looking over the world,” he said, “one can see indications that the in- ‘dustrial situation is likely to improve within the next few months.” Reflected in Europe. Recent improvement in the United . BStates, he asserted, has been reflected on this side of the ocean. ‘A few weeks ago,” he told the House, “any one looking at the situation in the United States, could have done so only with a feeling of gravest anxiety. Today, thanks to the initiative, cour- age and wisdom of the Presidemt, a change has taken place which is almost miraculous. “Confidence has been largely restored. People who have withdrawn their money from the banks are bringing their hoard- beck. A new sense of confidence in the future has returned, and it is re- flected in the markets on this side of the Atlantic.” Auto Exports Increase. Mr. Chamberlain said the restoration of export trade would be the greatest factor in business recovery in the United Kingdom. Trade, he asserted, _has been hampered by excessive tariffs, "exchange regulations and prohibitive 0tas. q“He informed the Holise that although there has been stagnation in some sec- tions of British trade, in others there has been considerable activity—for in- { stance, in the first two months of this year automobile exports equaled in nhumber and value the exports of the first three months last year. FLORIOA MAY REMOVE CONVICTS FROM ROADS Prisoners May Be Used to Culti- vate SBugar Cane in Ever- glades. By the Associated Press. TALLAHASSEE, Fla, March 23— ‘The Board of Commissioners of State Institutions yesterday authorized the beginning of an experiment which may result in Florida's taking more than 1,400 convicts off the roads and placing them in the Everglades to plant, harvest and handle sugar cane. The board approved planting of 150 acres of sugar cane at the Belle Glade prison farm this year.

NEW YORK, March 23.—On the ground that his wife deserted him 44 years ago, William C. Kauffman has RUMANIA’S MILITARY Espionage Accusations Also Are Made in Parliament by Peasants’ Leader. By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumania, March 23.— Allegations of espionage and corrup- tion in Rumania’s military affairs have thrown the Capital into a fever of ex- cited questioning. In Parliament last night Nicolae Lupu, head of the peasants’ party, charged that an agent of the Austrian Skoda ammunition works had mysteri- possession of impor- tant military documents belonging to ously come into the war ministry. He also charged that there are in existence documents showing that of 15 billion lel ($75,000,000) in muni- tions orders placed with the Skoda plant, 25 per cent went for bribing an unidentified Rumanian cabinet minis- ter, and 700,000,000 lei for dh!rlhll;tl.xm ica, among various politiclans.

A brilliant audience of music lovers, including Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the President, and a party of friends, was held spellbound by the artistry of Paderewski yesterday afternoon in Con- stitution Hall. ‘The program was an all-Chopin one and the poetry, the yearning and the unquenchable fire of the man of gentle nature was laid bare with an under- standing that had something psychic SEtud in it. It was not only the Chopin of crashing chords, of brilliant passages or romantic melodies, but a Chopin in- spired by beautiful visions or suffering from overwhelming sorrow that flowed out from Paderewski’s subtle fingers and entranced and uplifted an audience whose various motives for coming were forgotten in their united submission to the spell that was exercised over them. Prom the first row of the orchestra to the last in the balcony every seat 'was taken. An atmosphere of quiet and intimacy was created by the dimming of the lights above the stage, which was further carried out by the heart-to- heart way in which Paderewski played. The audience hung on his playing with breathless interest. Plays Six Encores. Paderewski was in splendid form. His remarkable vitality seemeq to increase 8s the program progre: and his voluntary addition of six encores—two groups of three each—was exactly in keeping with his own feelings and the desire of the audience. At the end of this magnificient two hours, few made & move to go and it was only when the men came with their implements to remove the piano that the audience could be persuaded that the communion with Chopin was at an end. It is seldom that an artist conveys the impression of a rounded circle of perfection. Paderewski’s conceptions are 80 complete in themselves that they &‘n into that uu;:ane;l t{::rnlnm has g 280 yon point where he ne:dert:)"d make technique and inter- pretation meet and can therefore lend himself to the music in the ideal way and give prominence to the thoughts and emotions as ‘they were intended to be. Paderewski has retained all the buoyant ideas and passions of youth, but beautified them by the addition of spirituality and refined them_ through his own temperament. His play- ing of Chopin has a personal under- )| standing and & kinship of feeling that no other pilanist arrives at in quite the same degree. Beginning with the “Fantasie Opus 49.” he immediately submerged himself in its poetry and with liquid tones played Iit as it has seldom been played.

The suit became public yesterday when a Supreme Court order was is- sued permitting service by publication on the defendant, who, the papers say, now lives In Los Angeles where she is known as Mrs. Lillilan Mae Langcake. The action was instituted in Kauff- man’s behalf by his sister, Miss Vir- ginia Kauffman, who was appointed committee of her brother’s person Janu- ary 22, 1931, when he was adjudged in- competent. g John Thomas Taylor, legislative of- ficer of the American Legion, said yes- terday his organization had been as- sured by President Roosevelt and Bud- get Director Lewis Douglas its opinion would be sought on proposed cuts in veteran expenditures. Taylor said he understood the Bud- get Bureau and the Veterans’ Admin- istration planned to formulate their regulations to carry out slashes in vet- erans’ expenditures and then invite heads of veteran organizations to ex- press opinions on them before the reg- ulations were promulgated. “We have been asking that such ex- pression of opinion be granted all alo; Ta id.

Paderewski's playing of the “Sonata B Flat Minor” was a revelation of grandeur and so rich in thought that it seemed unbelievable that mere music could convey so much. The sonata became a living story that moved through different phases to the final denouement with the thread of emotion the living by a quicker tempo than ordinarily heard and which led easily into the magnificent presto finale where all Paderewski’s uncanny technical bril- lancy came into piay. After this first group of serious sub- Jects the program moved through the “Ballade in F Minor,” three les” and the “Scherzo in C Sharp Minor” to the more dramatic “Polon- aise, E Flat Minor,” the ‘Mazurka in D Majar” and the final “Grand Valse Brililante, Opus 18.” ‘The national spirit, the grace and charm and the high imagination which Chopin has produced in perfect manner by the man Who showed in his playing he was feel- ing their rhythm, aglow with their bexttuzy and nvtlnx their emotions.
