THE EVENING STAR,” WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY,” MARCH 21, 1935 mmmm— Plenty of Parking Space ™™e=== Open a Charge Account ™ WORKERS PUSHING SYMPHONY DRIVE Intensity of Campaign Is Noted—*‘High-Brow” Appeal Scouted. Campaign workers were urged to in- tensify their efforts today as the home stretch neared in the National Sym- phony Orchestra’s drive for a $100,- 000 sustaining fund. Stress was laid on the need to de- stroy the idel that the symphony caters only to “highlbrows,” it being pointed out that the orchestra belongs to the Capital as a whole and should be supported correspondingly. Evidence that the symphony’s con- certs appeal to the “working class” is seen in the many small contributions being received along with the sub- stantial gifts. Donations thus far have ranged from $1 to $5,000. Due to the critical illness of Louis McHenry Howe, secretary to the Presi- dent, Mrs. Roosevelt will not appear in person to deliver her radio appeal at the symphony concert this after- noon in Constitution Hall. Mrs. Caro- line O'Day, Representative from New York, a close friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, will read the speech over Station WRC during an interim in the program, which starts at 4:45 o'clock. Star Makes $1,000 Gift. The Campaign Committee reported at its daily luncheon meeting at head- quarters in the Carlton Hotel yester- day that one of the four gifts of $1,000 each that are needed to cover the terms of a provisional gift of $1,000 by Mr. and Mrs. Christian Heurich has been pledged by The Evening Star. It had previously been announced that the Friday Morning Music Club also will match Mr. and Mrs. Heurich’s offer. Members of the Campaign Committee feel confident the two remaining gifts will be se- cured before the drive closes. Mrs. Oliver Strunk, cochairman of the Business Committee, reported the following contributions: Frank R. Jelleff & Co., $500; Julius Garfinckel & Co., $500; E. F. Droop & Sons, $200; Palais Royal, $100; Southern ‘Wholesalers, $75, and gifts of $25 each from Morris Cafritz, Willard Hotel, Alexander Arons, House and Herrmann, Joseph Kaufman, David Buckingham, Herbert Guggenheim and Mary A. Lindsley. Woman’s Life Memorialized. The Navy Committee announced several contributions, including $100 which was given in memory of the late Mrs. Dwight Chester. Frances Nash, pianist and wife of Col. E. M. Watson, military aide to the President, contributed $100. Mrs, Robert Carey and Mrs. John Holister, vice chairman of the Government Committee, reported $174 had been received from the wives of members of Congress. John Jacob Niles, composer of XKentucky folk songs, was a guest at the meeting, and pleaded for further support of the Symphony. He stressed the value of the orchestra as & medium for introducing new works by American composers, and men- tioned the many native works that have been given their first perform- ance under Dr. Hans Kindler’s direc- tion in Constitution Hall, Arts Club Supports Drive. Mrs. Reeve Lewis, cochairman of the Associations’ Committee, reported the Arts Club had pledged its sup- port in the drive and had adopted the following resolution: “The Board of Governors of the Arts Club of Washington, convinced that the civic patriotism which makes cities great cannot be better expressed n time of peace than by community support of a great symphony orches- tra, feels pride in the brilliant record of the National Symphony Orchestra since its organization under Dr. Hans XKindler, a valued member of this club; heartily supports its present ! campaign toward a still greater cul- tural achievement, and earnestly recommends to Arts Club members the generous subscription of indi-{ vidual doriations to the fund being raised for that purpose.” Dr. William McClellan, chairman | of the General Campaign Committee, | said that “more people are chipping | in, but contributions must be received in greater amounts if the goal is to be reached. Music lovers in general and friends of the orchestra are responding in great numbers, but there are still thousands who hdve mnot yet awakened to the importance of the National Symphony. When one considers how much $100,000 will do —give the musicians of the orchestra = living wage and provide more con- certs—it is, I believe, not asking too much for every Washingtonian to contribute to the fund, especially ‘when it will maintain the high artistic standards already achieved by Dr. Kindler and his players.” WAR PROTEST PLANNED Ballou to Pass on Request for School Demonstration. | Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintend- ent of schools, will pass on the appli- cation of the United Strike Commit- tee, 532 Seventeenth street, for per- | mission to stage a one-hour protest | against war in the public schools on the morning on April 12. An application, signed by Clarence, Gurewitz, secretary, was presented to the Board of Education yesterday and referred to Dr. Ballou without com- sment. The letter said the strike here is to be part of a Nation-wide demonstration. ® Modernized ® Repaired ® Created Speaker Greets Old Auto Employes Speaker Byrns shaking hands with James M.

Plan Makes Tenant Owner Bankhead Discusses Needed Relief for confined, as far as possible, to aid- ing tenant farmers and sharecroppers to acquire homes on land now in cultivation.

Speclal effort will A plan whereby farm tenants and sharecroppers may become jarm owners is described here by the junior United States Senator from Alabama. “The social and economic values in converting a large number of farm workers into Jarm home owners” are stressed by Senator Bankhead, who has intro- duced a bill for a billion-dollar Federal loan agency to carry out his proposal. BY JOHN H. BANKHEAD, United States Senator from Alabama. HE hope behind my bill is to convert as many tenant farmers, sharecroppers and farm laborers into farm owners as possible. Something like one-third of all the tenants in the country move every year. In some parts of the country, particularly in certain sections of the cotton belt, the tenants move about | so much that it is impossible to say what percentage change farms every year. The percentage is very high. You can’t build a community, or & country, or a section when so large & percentage of its people move out every year, and their places are taken by new people who follow the same practice. Taking the country as & whole, tenants move entirely too often for their own good as well as for the good of the community. Farmers on Relief. Another problem has arisen in the last few years which has added fuel to the already damaging flame. Fol- lowing the crash of the stock market in 1929, there was an exodus of in- dustrial employes from the cities back to relatives on the farms. Many of these have a farm background, but their return made it necessary for some farm families to go on relief rolls. On top of these two conditions, we have & big army of tenants who have simply farmed themselves poor and almost helpless on submarginal lands. Many of these would become prosper- | ous farm owners with a future if they could be relocated on better land, and could be given a good start toward home ownership. But, as it stands now, all they can do is to plug along until they die trying to eke out a liv- ing on land too poor for profitable cultivation. Here is my plan. The bill would set up a corporation with financial power and authority similar to that of the Home Owners’ Loan Corp. The financing is to be done principally through an authorized bond issue of $1,000,000,000. The corporation would be managed by a board of di- rectors composed of three members appointed by the Secretary of Agri- culture. Autherity for Purchase. This " corporation is authorized to purchase farm lands and all necessary farm equipment, or to make loans for the purchase of such property. Title to the property may be taken either in the name of the purchaser or in the name of the corporation. Pur- chasers are limited to farm tenants Acid c;mdition ater, direct from sa itive Valley Mineral Water Met. 1062 1405 K N.W.

Pref- erence will be given to those who are married or have dependent families. The loan principal will be made payable in not less than 30 or more than 50 annual installments, begin- ning three years from the date the land is acquired, if the purchaser or borrower so desires. In other | words, the purchaser can defer the first payment for three years after! he goes on the farm, if that is neces- | sary. The rate of interest will be just| as low as the corporation can get the money for, plus a reasonable charge for administration. We don't know yet just what that will be. | Purchases of W. & J. Sloane be made to avoid, as far as possible, expansion of production of crops of which there is already a surplus. Lots of farm land is owned by banks, insurance companies and absentee landlords. Most of this land is worked by tenants, and many land- lords and owners are anxious to dis- pose of this land because it is out of their line of business. In many in- stances it was acquired since boom times through foreclosure. My ob- ject is to enable the tenants and sharecroppers and farm laborers, al- ready on such farms, to buy them. (Copyright. 1935, by the Notth American ‘wspaper Alliance. Inc.) Symphony Fund Success Vital, Says Editor Newbold Noyes of ‘Star |} Believes Public Will Support Program. Having tasted the enjoyment of its own regularly scheduled symphony concerts, Newbold Noyes, assoclate editor of The Star, does not believe ‘Washington will ever willingly permit their discontinuance. Expressing confidence that the pub- lic will respond generously in the National Symphony Orchestra’s drive for a $100,000 sustaining fund, he said: “It seems to me that the only thing necessary to insure the success of this campaign is that the significance of the orchestra to Washington shall this year be fully understood by the community as a whole. The days of experiment and cautious test are over. The local demand for first-class symphonic programs, played by a group of first-class Washington musi- cians under the direction of the :nost competent leadership available, has been fully established. “In order that the symphony con- certs may be confinued and the scope of their "appeal broadened and en- hanced, the established enthusiasm of the National Capital must take con- crete and practical form in terms of dollars and cents. The popular prices at which admission to the regular Sunday concerts have been main- tained from the start must not be in- creased. There should be more of them. The children’s concerts, so es- sential to the cultural training of young Washington, must be continued and, if possible, the whole orchestra employed at these performances.” | N Greece Expects Surplus.
