CONCERT SERIES TERMINATES IN FITTING GLORY Goossens and Gieseking Join in Giving Brilliant Performance. BY LOUISE DAUNER iMembfr of Indlanapolik Symphony) The fourth Martens concert season was concluded in a burst of glory when two luminaries of the concert field joined forces yesterday afternoon at the English theater. They were pianist Walter Gieseking and the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra under the direction of Eugene Goossens. Together, they presented a concert the like of which has not been heard in Indianapolis for many years. For it has been some time since an eminent soloist and a major orchestra have appeared simultaneously. The program included the Symphony No. 3 in C major by Sibelius, Rachmaninoff's Second Concerto” for piano and orchestra, Mr. Goossens’ own “Sinfonietta” and the Overture to "Le Baruffe Chiozzotte.” by Sinigaglia. Orchestra Technically Adequate The Cincinnati orchestra is a highly polished organization. Its tone is excellently balanced, its ensemble notably sound. Tone quality of the string sections is luscious or brilliant as the case demands. j always is technically adequate, fre- ; always is technicall yadequate, fre- ! quently emotionally inspired. Its phrasing is smooth and well-bal- i anced and it has a pleasing continuity of style. Mr. Goossens’ directing is sane, j sensitive, sympathetic. It has a commanding breadth and a quiet ; vitality both of which are commu- i nicated to his men, although, unlike some conductors, he does not dominate the scene to the extent that he always is the central figure. On the contrary, he is almost retiring, with the result that one’s attention is centered first upon the music itself, then upon its medium, the orchestra. The Sibelius symphony, a difficult j work from the standpoint of involved rhythms and tonal nuance, was given a satisfying and warmlycolored performance, vividly conveying the spirit of desolation so inherent in the Finnish composer’s works. Gieseking’s Brilliant Technique It was followed by the concerto and Mr. Gieseking. To hear Walter Gieseking for the first time proved, for one listener, an experience not soon to be forgottten. In the man himself, genial, kindly, sympathetic, one sees the artist. The pianist imbued the always rich and colorful concerto with a poignant beauty. It is hard to imagine more satisfying playing, for here is an absorbing artist. It is as though he abandons himself completely to the music at hand. Possessing as he does apparently all the requirements for great art, one becomes almost unaware of the brilliant technique, elegant phrasing, velvety tone, in the deeper significance of an all-encompassing humanity which is perhaps his outstanding characteristic. One felt his complete sincerity and belief in the power of the message of beauty that he brings. Something less than a dozen curtain calls brought two encores. Debussy's “Clair de Lune” and “Serenade” by Strauss, both exquisitely played. Humorous Numbers Presented The remaining two orchestral numbers, comprising the second half of the program, had a distinctly light and humorous trend. The "Sinfonietta" presented Mr. Goossens in the dual role of composerconductor. It is a piquant and definitely modernistic composition, based on a theme which the composer heard whistled on a London street. It revealed him as a capable and resourceful orchestral writer with a diverting sense of humor. It was enthusiastically received. For the concluding overture. “The Squabbles of the People of Clnoggia," the baton was turned over to the assistant conductor, Vladimir Bakalienikof, who is also principal violinist of the orchestra. Under his dynamic direction, it provided a sparkling and effective climax to an afternoon unique in recent local music presentations.

Complete Nationalism Needs Social Discipline America’s Surrender to Robust, Individualist Past Would Ask Resolution and Staying Power.

This is the seventh of a series of articles written for the Foreign Policy Association and the World Peace Foundation. a tt tt BY HENRY A. WALLACE Secretary of Agriculture PAINS AND PRIVILEGES OF TRADE THE great virtue of trade, as it entered into our pioneer or primitive farming society, was the release it afforded each man and woman to develop special skills and follow a special bent. The settler who has no hand at making his own shoes, but who liked to breed fast horses, could spend more time with horses and trade his special skill as a horseman for shoes. On the other hand, the man who delighted in the craft of shoemaking could devote more of his life to that and own a far better horse than any he himself would ever manage to breed and rear.

This is a very elementary example of how civilization is advanced by specialization and trade. We all know the aberrations and injustices which have accompanied the process, but the fact remains that a peaceful trading society based on natural advantages leads to a better way of life for all. To the degree that trade is artifically bounded, the world as a whole falls short of developing regional advantages and native skills. Adam Smith made much of this point in his great book, “The Wealth of Nations,” published in 1776. England's trade policy of the nineteenth century derived in some part from his clear-cut and truly noble concept of a world exchanging freely of its best. But Adam Smith heid that trade let alone “laissez-faire” would balance and govern itself for the general good. We know now from bitter experience that there is no such magic in “laissez-faire.” Absolutely free competition, conducted nationally or on a world scale, produces unendurable overconcentrations of goods and power. When the pressure gets too high, we have a war or an interior outburst, and the dreary cycle begins anew. That was the old deal. It was the product of unbridled greed and opportunism. I hope that we are through with it. We have come perforce to think in terms not of free production and trade, but of planned production and trade, within and between nations. Nevertheless, Adam Smith's refusal to draw petty little lines of locality around concepts of trade and civilization may properly, I think, move our minds and hearts to large efforts now. To a free people the pain of nationalism is actual. As yet, we have applied in this country only the barest beginnings of the sort of social discipline which a completely determined nationalism requires. In previous pages I have raised the question whether we as a people have the patience and fortitude to go through with an international program when the world seems with varying degrees of panic to be stampeding the other way. It is quite as serious a question whether we have the resolution and staying power to swallow all the words and deeds of our robust, individualist past, and submit to a completely armylike. nationalist discipline in peace time. With the world as it is today, thorough-going nationalism often requires no less. If you doubt that, consider even the little news of strictly nationalized countries, under dictatorships. which leaks into American newspapers and magazines, still clamorous and free. Our own maneuvers of social discipline to date have been mildly persuasive and democratic. We have paid cash to farmers to cooperate in necessary reductions or acreage, pro-rata. We have appealed to the patriotism of corporate and individual manufacturers, transporters and storekeepers, with a passing part-way appeal to consumer sentiment for a necessary reduction in working hours and raises of pay. We have called for criticism and have heard it. so far as the pressure of events allowed, receptively. Following since March 4. last, anew? design for American life, we have been letting people out of jail for crime of expressing disagreement, instead of putting them in. I want to see things go on that way. I would hate to live in a country where individual thought is punished and stifled, and where speech is no longer free. Even if the strictest nationalist discipline reared for us here at home, exclusively, a towering physical standard of living, i would con-

sider the spiritual price too high. I think, too, that this would be pretty much the temper of the rest of the country; but there is no telling. A rampant nationalist feeling grows by what it feeds on, and it swells to unpredictable proportions with marvelous speed. Once it gets going headlong it puts down objection brutally; and the speed of the march is thus accelerated. That might prove just as true in this country as elsewhere. Regimentation without stint might indeed, I sometimes think, go farther and faster here than anywhere else, if we once took the bit in our teeth and set up for a 100 per cent American conformity in everything. We are a people given to excesses. I recall particularly the pressure tow r ard conformity brought to bear during our war time Liberty Loan drives; and we all have seen the same thing more or less repeated on a smaller scale whenever a town had a Y. M. C. A. or something of the sort to build. These outbursts of local high-pressure are not necessarily plotted and pushed from above. During the first year’s cotton plow-up campaign in the south, for example, time did not permit sending out anything from national headquarters at Washington very much more than the contract itself. We had no slogans or banners, and very few set speeches. We had no insignia for the farmer who signed up to put on his mail-box. We knew what pressure would fall on the man who had no mark on his mailbox; and we purposely wished to avoid things like that. We wanted the thing put as a plain take-it-or-leave-it inducement to voluntary co-operation; and all our national plans and directions were drawn with that in mind. Immediately, however, many local communities formed drives in the old 100 per cent “come along or be accounted a traitor” spirit; and before the thing was over there was even, I am told, a little night riding, with the neighbors coming in to take out the cotton of the man who refused to sign. The American spirit as yet knows little of moderation, whichever way it turns. Tomorrow'—Can We Stand Discipline?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MINTON GOES TO CAPITAL IN UTIUTYPROBE Indiana Public Counselor to Testify in House Committee Quiz. Enormous expenditure of public funds, spent futily by the public service commission in rate cases in federal courts, will be revealed to a congressional committee tomorrow' by Sherman Minton, Indiana public counselor. Before leaving for Washington last night with Perry McCart, chairman of the public service commission, Mr. Minton condemned the acts of past public service commissions in their dealings with public utilities. Mr. Minton stated that he would take a firm stand to restrict public utilities from resorting to the federal courts in rate cases, as provided by the Johnson bill to be considered soon by the house of representatives. Cites Water Cos. Case “Red tape and great expense to the taxpayers and utility consumers of the state always have resulted from federal court action in the matter of public utilities,” said Mr. Minton. “The case of the Indianapolis Water Company, which cost the public service commission more than $50,000, and is nowhere near settlement, is a glaring example of why a public utility should not resort to the federal court.” Mr. Minton pointed out that the recent 8 per cent cut in electric rates in Indianapolis, amounting to more than $500,000 a year, had been accomplished at practically no expense to the state or rate payers. Costly Cases Reviewed Among the Indiana cases which have been expensive to the public service commission in the past and W'hich will be cited before the congressional committee tomorrow by Mr. Minton are the Vincennesx water supply case which cost the commission $3,849 at one time and $1,165 on another occasion. The Indiana Bell telephone case w’hich never got to the federal court, but which cost the commission $122,337; the Southern Indiana Telephone and Telegraph case, costing $4,418; the Wabash Valley Electric Company case, costing $1,005, and the Indianapolis Water Company case, w’hich cost $20,588 at one time and $20,897 for another hearing.

State’s Youngest Mayor Administers Bedford

City’s Operating Costs Cut by Henry S. Murray’s Management. Down among the picturesque hills of southern Indiana there reigns the youngest mayor in the state—Henry S. Murray, chief magistrate of Bedford. Mayor Murray was elected to this office in November, 1929, at the age of 26. The poll books showed in November, 1929, a 2,500 Republican majority—after the votes were counted the town possessed anew mayor. The new mayor was ninety-six votes to the good, and even the Republicans conceded this an admirable feat for a Democrat , There were those who owlishly shook their heads, declaring the new mayor was far too young and inexperienced to take over the affairs of a city government. But the following figures will show that these same critics have since been forced to "back water.” Four years ago when he took office, the tax rate was 51.14, $15,085,000 of assessment which collected $185,000 in taxation. The balance in all funds were $32,507.53. Since taking office he has reduced the tax rate every year until three years later he was operating on a 75 cent rate and $11,890,000 of assessment with a tax collection of $89,000 as against the past administration's $185,000. Three years later the balance in all funds was $90,576.32. He is operating the city on exactly half the amount used by the last Republican administration, and this with practically the same force of employes and with the handicap of $9,000 of delinquent taxes. Up to the present time, he has not increased the bonded indebtedness of the city—a matter of which most towns can not boast. Due to his management, the city of Bedford has not missed a pay day under his administration and he has money enough on hand to meet the payroll for the remainder of the fiscal year. The young mayor is very active in the affairs of the Municipal league of Indiana. At the 1932 convention, Bedford and Fort Wayne were the chief contenders for the 1933 convention. Mayor Hosey of Fort Wayne, who is the oldest mayor in the stale wanted the next convention for his city. Indiana’s youngest mayor harbored the same desire for his town. Thus entering the fray single-hand-ed and exemplifying the old adage that youth must be served, the “youngest” mayor succeeded in getting the convention for Bedford. At the 1933 convention the young mayor was elected vice-president of this organization. He is now recognized as one of the leaders of his party in the southern part of the state. He is one of the moving spirits of the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Lawrence county. This club was organized in 1928 with fifteen members and now has between four and five hundred active members. During the last campaign, he was Governor McNutt’s campaign manager in Lawrence county. When the state convention opened, Lawrence county’s delegation was solid for McNutt. Mayor Murray only recently attained his thirtieth year; he is a product of the neighboring town of Paoli. having spent his entire residence in that city prior to his arrival in Bedford. He was first employed in the freight office of the Monon railroad at Bedford, from there he accepted a position with the Prudential insurance company which position he held until becoming mayor. Thoughts of the poor and unfortunate are ever unpermost in his mind, and should yoif be a visitor to

INDUSTRY AID PLANOFFERED Ex-Mayor Suggests U. S. Underwritten Bank Credits. A plan for revival of industry through bank credits underwritten by the federal government w’as outlined by Charles W. Jewett, former Republican mayor of Indianapolis, in an address to the Indiana Society, Sons of the American Revolution. Annual banquet of the society w r as held at the Columbia Club Saturday night. “Officers of all local banks would be organized into a local credit committee to determine credit needs of each industry,” Mr. Jewett explained. “Local banks would provide credit for local industry to begin normal employment. “The bank W’ould take the notes of the industry secured by a lien upon the finished product. These notes and securities could be discounted without recourse w’ith the Federal Reserve bank of the district and the RFC w’ould guarantee the reserve system against loss.”

his city and marvel at the number of ragged urchins smiling under the burden of heavily laden sacks you may know that these sacks contain breakfast food secured for them through the thoughtfulness and kindness of the young mayor. For recently a carload shipment of breakfast food was forwarded to Bedford through a mistake. Upon learning of this the mayor telephoned the company petitioning them to donate this food to the poor of his city, one of the striking facts being that the company acquiesced to the mayor’s wishes. Henry S. Murray has the brain and the ability to use it. That which, he sets about to do will be done thoroughly. It will be done honestly. It will be treated intelligently. Indiana’s youngest mayor steadily is growing in political stature and bids fair to some day rise higher in public affairs. (Written for The Times by Leroy S. Moore.)

STATE INDUSTRY SAID TO LACK HELPJDFBANKS Federal Loans Advocated by Indiana Witnesses Before House. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 —lndiana industries need money to pay operating expenses and the banks of Indiana are not supplying that need, a subcommittee of the house banking and currency committee was told today. The Indiana witnesses at the hearing, who advocated government loans to industry through the reconstruction finance corporation, included Representative Louis Ludlow, Indianapolis; Representative James I. Failey, Augurn; H. M. Cochrane. Indianapolis; representatives of the Indiana Association of Manufacturers, and W. H. Arnett, secretary of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Ludlow’ read into the records of the hearing a letter from John E. Fredrick of Kokomo, president of the Indiana C. of C., suggesting that the law be framed so as to allow banks to handle the loans, with the RFC underwriting 75 per cent of each loan. “There is but one way to revive stagnant business, start the w’heels w’hirring and give self-respecting men jobs that will enable them to earn a living for themselves and their families,” said Representative Ludlow. “The way to do that is for the federal government to make loans to good, solvent concerns that have ample security but no working capital with which to start operations. Half a billion dollars loaned direct to industry would create at least a billion-doliar pay roll in the year 1934.”

TRIO IS REINDICTED IN JONES SLAYING Mason, Giberson and Dean to Face Trial Here. William Mason, Ernest (Red) Giberson and Edwin (Foggy) Dean, gangsters indicted for murder in the commission of a robbery in Indianapolis Feb. 7, last year, in which Sergeant Lester Jones was killed, were reindicted for the crime by the Marion county grand jury today. It was explained at the prosecutor’s office that the three men who were to be tried at Noblesville early next month, are to be tried in Marion county instead. It was feared that the case might be nolle prossed in Noblesville because of the withdrawal of the defense attorney recently. Giberson recently escaped from the county jail at Noblesville and is still at large. Mason is held there while Dean is held at the Marion county jail to await trial. CHARGES INJUSTICE TO 0. S.

THREE DIE IN TRAIN COLLISION Locomotive. Seven Coaches Are Derailed at Delphos, 0. By United Press DELPHOS. 0., Feb. 26.—Three persons were killed and four others injured when the locomotive of the Ft. Dearborn No. 73, on the Pennsylvania railroad, turned over with seven coaches as they w’ere derailed in a collision w’ith a truck of the Bates Motor Service of Chicago here early today. The dead are: George Lamin, 54, engineer, and Andrew Palmer, 30, fireman, both of Ft. Wayne, Ind., and Philip Long, 40, truck driver, of Chicago. The express, running late from New York to Chicago, was going at about sixty miles an hour when it collided with the truck at a crossing here. The impact threw a number of passengers from their berths, although only three women were cut and bruised. The truck piled up on the pilot of the locomotive and was carried more than two blocks before it was hurled into a ditch and burst into flames. Two blocks farther along the track, the engine turned over, derailing seven of the nine coaches. The engineer and fireman were crushed beneath the engine and efforts to recover the bodies were not successful immediately. PROFESSOR IS SPEAKER Dr. R. M. Harger of I.

HOOVER FACES LOSS OF HOLD OVER G. 0. P. National Committee to Take No Part in Congress Campaigns. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Former President Hoover’s control ovei the party of which he is the nominal head appears today to be i.hallenged by a political maneuver which almost excludes the Hoover wing of the Republican party from this year's congressional campaign. By the same maneuver house and senate Republican campaign managers have made the first real effort in a decade to woo progressive Republican bolters back into the party camp. Announcement of consolidation of the senate and house campaign committees under a joint board of trategy \Vas followed immediately here by a dinner at one of the capital's swankiest hotels. Hitherto throughout the Republican party’s long history the house and senate have campaigned separately through their own committees with more or less assistance of the national committee. Senators Hiram W. Johnson (Rep., Cal.), Bronson Cutting (Rep., N. M.) and Robert M. La Follette (Rep., Wis.), three notable protestants against Republican policy, were “expected" at the dinner by Senator Daniel O. Hastings (Rep., Del.), the official host. They did not come and Mr. Hastings probably knew they would not appear. But the suggestion they would be welcome indicates a change in the state of mind of the Republican high command. It is possible the 1934 congressional campaign set up is predicated on a sincere belief that Republicans can regain the house and increase their senate strength. The real campaign drive is pointed to 1936 when President Roosevelt must submit his administration to the people. There has been dispute over policy between Chairman Everett Sanders of the Republican national committee and congressional Republicans. It js significant that he has been relegated to no where so far as this year's campaign is concerned. On this point, the Republican announcement of the 1934 strategy board states: “The joint committee w’ill have the full co-operation of the national Republican committee. This latter committee, however, will take no part in the campaign activities of the combined senatorial and congressional committees.”
