It will be a happy occasion for everyone concerned Former pastors of the church will return and take part in the program and tribute will be paid to the founders, who through their energy, spiritual leadership and convictions took the first steps in organizing the church. From a handfull of devote members, the congregation has grown annually, is now housed in a beatiful and commodious brick edifice and its membership has always been associated with the spiritual and civic life of the community. A most happy event will be the part of the program honoring three of the early members who still live.

THEATER USED AS CLASSROOM Chicago.—(U.R>— An innovation in educational technique—conversion of a large downtown theater into; la university classroom for 2,000 ■ persons — will be attempted by > Northwestern University this fall in a music appreciation class. An opportunity to’hear some of 1 the outstanding musical artists and . organizations of the world will be afforded those registered for the > course, university officials said. The university college, one of the evening school divisions of Northwestern university, has made ‘ a cooperative arrangement with the Auditorium theater in Chicago whereby the huge concert hall is I to be used 10 evenings this fall and ' winter as a classroom for the pre-; mentation of a course on "The His- , ; tory and Enjoyment of Music.” The public may register for the course, and members of the audi-. once will receive academic credit

'if they desire it. Each recital will be accompanied ; by an interpretative lecture designj ed to give those who are not specialists in music a viewpoint from which to enjoy the works offered ; in the series and to provide a background for more intelligent listening to other compositions. I Scheduled to appear in the unique university-theater undertaking and Lucrezia Bori, Metropolitan lOpera soprano; the San Carlo Opera company in several productions; the Moscow Cathedral choir on its first American tour; Mary ; Garden, soprano, with Rudolph Ganz, concert pianist; the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo; the Chicago (Symphony orchestra; John Charles Thomas, baritone; Albert Spalding, ; violinist, and Marian Anderson, ‘contralto.

DISPELLINGJ'HE fog Bv Charles Michelson Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee

The most recent of the socialistic crimes of which the Roosevelt administration is accused is the passage of the bill including pota toes among the basic farm comrnod Itles which benefit by the A. A. A. enactments. Describing the measure as a New Deal diabolism, the 0.0. P. critics of both the open and the under cover persiuwioa point out the Iniquities of the act, from their point of view, and deduce them as proof that the administration is bent on the total regiment of agriculture In consonance with Franklin D. Roosevelt's sinister plan of dictatorship. It just happens that the day the potato program was tacked on the A. A. A. amendments, despot Roose velt was not despoting. He was not dictating the legislation tn Con gress. Perhaps if he had been, the potato amendment might not have gone through. The measure for the relief of the great legume came up originaliy iu the form of a separate bill in the House of Representatives. A minority report of the Committee on Agriculture recited specifically that the Department of Agriculture had not asked for the enactment of the bill—apparently on the theory that as the potato was not processed during its transition from the ‘ farm to the table, it could not be classed with wheat, cotton, tobac-' co. etc., the prices for which and 1 the acreage limitations of which are taken care of by the processing j tax. The other side of the argument is that as the cotton and wheat I people, complying with the acreage restrictions, wore putting in potatoes to keep the land busy, there threatened to be a spud excess that periled the prosperity of j the sacred Idaho and Maine pro- - dues. I. of course, do not know , what the Whits House attitude toward the royal vegetable is. But apparently the people who wanted I potato protection had some notion • about it. The bill as presented to . the House was. of course, subject ito a Presidential veto. It was per-i 1 haps on this account that when the proposition got to the Senate I it was hitched onto the general A.- , A. A. legislation as an amendment. Fortunately, or unfortunately, r the President cannot veto part of a bill. He has got to accept or re-; ‘ ject the whole thing and they reas- 1 oned logically that he would rath _ er take the potato than destroy the, whole measure asked by the A. A. i A From time to time when such a | situation has arisen there have ’ been proposals that the executive power be broadened in order to; ' correct the situation. I don't think; ' that anything of the sorf-nas oc-| leurred during the present adminis-t -tration, but in previous admtnistra-'

tions it has come up Congress generally showed a face of flint to the proposal- For just think what a conscientious President could do; to a pork barrel bill if he were al j lowed to discard a half million! dollar appropriation for the Improvement of Bilgewater Creek, I which the Bilgewater congressman had added to the bill in exchange for his agreement to support a similar appropriation for the extension of the Gumshoe Highway, advocated by his Gumshoe colleague This dissertation is. however, concerned neither with the merits ’ or demerits of the whole-bog-or none theory of government nor of! the potato act. The idea is to con-; vey the unanimity with which an euactment. that the administration had nothing to do with, was herald ed by the anti Roosevelt press agents as part of the New Deal. Mr. Mark Sullivan points out that un ' der the law the federal government ; through the A. A. A. will dictate ' tor elch farm how many potatoes I can be rawed, etc. Obviously, the' potato package having been handed the A. A. A., it must carry out i the Congressional mandate. Mr. Frank Kent quotes Mr. Sullivan — and so on down the line always the theme being the terrible things the Roosevelt administration has I done or is doing. The other day the anvil chorus raised a question as Io whether the President had departed from some of his party’s platform pledg es. Mr. Kent was quite ferocious ; about it. Mr. James P. Warburg quoted Mr. Kent, and 1 have no doubt tffat presently, if he has not already done it. Mr Kent will quote as admiringly from Mr. Warburg's book. There may not be a complete harmony among the Republicans as to their prospective candidate or their policies, but the harmony among the press agents passeth understanding. But to get back to our potatoes: I wonder how bad and unconstitu tional is a measure that received the vote of Senator Borah, that great constitutionalist, whose de- : votion to the sacred document is his strongest bid for the Republi-
