'EMPTY PURSE' TO GREET NEW GOTHAM MAYOR La Guardia Faces Huge Task; City $2,250,000,000 ‘ln Red/ By T'nitrrl Press NEW YORK. Dec. 20 —Fiorello H. La Guardia. who challenged the twenty-year dominance of Tammany Hall and triumphed in the November elections, will face one of the most stupendous tasks of municipal reconstruction in the history of New' York when he assumes office Jan. 1. To meet the problems involved in a budget of more than 5500,000,000 and an empty treasury, he will take into office with him a brain trust of his own. consisting in part of political professors and in part of con•titutional Tammany-baiters and social experts who rallied to the Fusion banner last summer. In addition to a complete readjustment of the city's finances. La Guardia is called upon to unify the disjointed subway systems, which is a major railroad-economic job; to bring the city under the new repeal regulations and at the same time eliminate police graft; to abolish an overgrowth of expensive political offices; to reorganize the crazy-quilt of department activities that make the municipal machine a cumbersome, unwieldy and inefficient agency for government; to furnish relief for an army of unemployed; to reduce a total city debt that has mounted to more than $2,250,000,000. ! Pension ‘Grab’ Starts The tw’o most important posts in ; the La Guardia cabinet, under these circumstances, are those of commissioner of accounts and commissioner of police. For the first, he chose Paul Blanshard, w'ho for fifteen years, in season and out, has fought Tammany rule, waste, corruption, extravagance and graft. As commissioner of accounts, Blanshard has the pow'er to launch investigations as sweeping as the Seabury probe that produced the Tammany debacle. With him, as counsel, will be Irving Ben Cooper, Samuel Seabury's right hand man, who turned up the evidence that sent many a Tammany chieftain scurrying for the pension cyclone cellar. For police commissioner, La Guardia chose Major General John F. O’Ryan, a fighting Celt, W'ho w r on the distinguished service medal and the Croix de Guerre as commander of the Twenty-seventh division of the A. E. F. Tammany's dying days at city hall have been marked by a rush for safety in the open-handed and generous pension system established long ago by foresighted politicians to take care of lame ducks. Judges w'ho “retired” under the hottest of the Seabury fire have marched up to the pension desk and been made happy on $7,000 a year. Police inspectors, fearing the ax, have suddenly decided to take their pension dues. People Are Confident Asa result, the city’s pension costs, which were $29,000,000 this year, threaten to rise within the next ten years. to $60,000,000. La Guardia’s job—with the assistance of the state legislature—will be to reorganize the city's eleven pension systems, safeguard the civil service worker, and eliminate the political pension grabbers. But the supreme task will be the balancing of a $551,000,000 budget which is out of trim today by $27.000,000 —more than 5 per cent. The people of New York have no idea how r this will be done, but several millions of them, who cheered La Guardia in his November fight, have a bland and childlike faith in his financial alchemy.

BOY. 10, IS FULL-FLEDGED ANIMAL TRAINER

Children the world over play at animal training, but Manuel King, 10, of Brownsville, Tex., scorns such subterfuges. He puts real lions through their paces and makes them like it, even keeping the peace when his dog, Tridie, joins the act, as shown here. Manuel, said to be the only child in the world to have such a perilous vocation, was born on an animal farm and has been taught by Chubby Guilfoyle, famed in the business, to handle ten lions. He’ll soon hit the circus trail.

Inspiring Oratorio Presented at St. John’s by 200 Singers, Musicians BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

Amid a setting of religious simplicity, the first American performance of Evangeline Lehman’s oratorio, There of the Child Jesus, was presented in SC John's Catholic chruch last night. Under the patronage of the Most Rev. Joseph Elmer Ritter, D. D., administrator of the diocese, the religious setting was made possible for this inspired w’ork. In an introductory talk, the Rev. Clement O. Bosler, in emphasizing the importance of the American debut of the oratorio, recalled the memory of the late Rt. Rev. Francis Gavisk. Father Bosler said the presentation w’as made possible only because of the co-operation of the city’s finest singers and musicians. Several Groups Assist Those assisting were the Choral Ensemble of the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale, Schola. Cantorum of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, St. Philip Neri male choir assisted by the clergy choir of this city, A Cappela Choir of the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music and an orchestral ensemble from the Indianapolis Symphony. Father Bosler had high praise for the genius and energy of Elmer Andrew Steffen, conductor. Fred Noble was concertmaster and Mary Helen Brook, organist.’ The choral ensemble, the Cappela Choir, and the boy choristers of St. Philip Neri, a marvelous singing organization, occupied elevated positions before the altar with the orchestra to the left and the clergy choir to the right. Divided In Three Parts The characters w'ere sung as follow's: Sainte Therese, the boy choristers of St. Philip Neri; Pauline, Mrs. Robert W. Blake; Narrator, Perry M. Rush. The oratorio is divided into three parts. The first deals with the childhood of Sainte Therese and

opens with an orchestral prelude with the chorus giving the glorious setting of the birth of the little child. The beauty of devotion and the child’s love for holy orders is beautifully developed in music and words by Miss Lehman. The second part, opening with an orchestral prelude, is concerned with the first communion of Sainte Therese. The third part is concerned with the time from Carmel to the death of Sainte Therese, closing with her dying prayer with a chorus quietly and beautifully closing the oratorio from afar. Probably never before in the many years of Mr. Steffen’s splendid w'ork in this city has he accomplished such a gigantic undertaking as directing the oratorio. More than 200 singers and musicians were actively engaged for v'eeks in study and preparation for this event.

and glowing power at the close of each part. The score is of tremendous beauty and the words are.simple and devout. Probably no Catholic church here has been the scene of such an inspired offering as Mr. Steffen conducted last night. The oratorio has been presented three times in France, alw'ays in a great church. It appeals, as Father Bosler pointed out, to Catholics and nonCatholics alike. Everyone taking part in the oratorio deserves the highest praise for unveiling such inspired beauty. n n tt In City Theaters Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Blood Money,” at the Palace; “Disraeli,” at Keith’s; Raynor Lehr on stage and "Mryt and Marge” on screen at the Lyric; Bert Lytell in “Ten-Minute Alibi,” at English’s. “Sporting Chance,” at the Ambassador; “Female.” at the Circle, and burlesque at the Mutual and Colonial.

—Your Health — MORE CARE IN LIVING NEEDED AS AGE RISES Avoiding Cold and Falls Among Important Precautions. BY’ DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. The older you get, the more of a problem and a care you become, unless you are one of the exceptionally few who maintain themselves in later years almost as well as in youth. Today the problem of old age is far greater than in former years. When the life expectancy at birth was about 35 years, few persons lived to 70, 80, or 90, and a centenarian was so unusual that he attracted special attention. Now that life expectancy at birth has moved up to some 58 to 60 years, there are vast numbers of persons who live to 70 and 80 years of age, and the number of centenarians in any large community is considerably higher than in the past. Circulation Slow As you get old, your circulation is not as active as it was in youth. Old persons are sensitive to cold. Hence, they should wear warm underclothing and should have suitable overcoats, sweaters or shaw'ls to keep them warm during the day. | At night it may be necessary to provide them not only with stockings and cap, but also thick sheets and warm bed covers in excess of what other persons in the family use. Particularly valuable for their comfort is a hot water bottle or electric heating pad for use when they go to sleep. Poor circulation sometimes causes cramps in the muscles of the legs and thighs. These can be relieved by rubbing with oil or some stimulating ointment before going to bed. Extra Clothing Advised It frequently is difficult to ventilate a room satisfactorily for the aged and at the same time keep it pleasant for the young. It u desirable to keep the room q,t about 70 degrees temperature and to provide w'armth for the aged by extra clothing. Many an older person is stimulated, by the speed of our modern life, to excess not compatible with age. Dancing and particularly any sudden muscular movement may bring about serious result. Especially dangerous is walking on slippery sidewalks, climbing on

chairs to reach high shelves, or go- ! ing up and down stairs in the dark. ' A broken bone, particularly a broken hip bone, is far more serious for an old person than for a young one. j The' older person is not as alert' mentally as the younger one. He may fail to notice the odor of escaping gas or the sound on an approaching motor car. He tends to become somewhat careless about spots on his clothing, not because he is becoming shiftless, but simply because his i perception is diminished and his j muscular control is less accurate. Before young persons criticize, they should realize that the apparent untidiness is the result of age and not of any mental laxity. There is far too much tendency among young persons to manage-the i old. When a business man has conducted a large industry for many years, or when a woman has man- j aged her household, reared her fam- i ily and taken an interest in charity j and club work for several decades, it is not easy to sit around and be told what to do by the next genera- j tion. Many old persons are happiest if let alone in warmth and comfort, j without too much attention to their interests and amusements. (Copyright, 1933, by NEA Service Inc.)

ALLEGED ‘POOL KING' TO KNOW I COURT VERDICT Rahke Asks Acquittal on Plea of Double Jeopardy. Following the filing of briefs by opposing counsel, decision will be rendered Thursday by Special Judge Alex Cavins in the case of Emil Rahke, charged by police with being the city’s "baseball pool king.” The briefs will argue the question of double jeopardy as a result of Rhake’s trial several weeks ago before Municipal Judge William H. ShaefTer. at which time a motion to suppress evidence was sustained. Later. Rahke was indicted on the charge of operating a lottery and gift enterprise, and specifically charged with the sale of a 25-cent pool ticket to Edwin H. Little. At the conclusion of the state’s case, presented yesterday by Deputy Prosecutor Oscar Hagemier. no defense was offered by Rahke's attor-
