the convention’s formal opening last night in the Indiana Theater. The artists were the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Ferdinand Schaefer conducting; Arthur Loesser, Beryl Rubinstein, Bomar Cramer and Dwight Anderson, pianists, who played a Bach concerto with the orchestra, and the Louisville Chorus of 97 voices, conducted by Frederic Cowles and accompanied by Ellen Lawrence Gardner.

Festival of States

|Preceding the concert there was a Festival of States, in which 500 delegates marched, and carried banners showing that 40 states were represented. Oklahoma boasted the largest delegation present. A hymn by the chorus and a responsive reading led by the Rev. Ernest N. Evans, secretary of the Indianapolis Church Federation followed. Theodore Griffith, representing the Indianapolis Citizens’ Advisory Committee, welcomed the delegates, and the national president, Mrs. John Alexander Jardine; responded in their behalf. The audience and performers then settled down to the evening’s music. The orchestra offered a group con- ’ sisting of Wagner's Prelude to “Die Meistersinger,” the Tschaikowsky “Capriccio Italien” and Strauss’ “Tales From the Vienna Woods.” . In the last number the zither part included in the score by the composer was heard, played by Henry Von Bank. Mr. Schaefer and his ladies and gentlemen delivered the brief program to their credit and were received cordially. Seven |songs comprised the chorus’ contribution, the first three of which were carried on the National Broadcasting Co.’s Blue network. Following the Russian liturgical music by Lvov and Ippolitov-Ivanov which made up the broadcast program, Mr. Cowles led his singers in Lutkin's “Cargoes,” “The Blue Bird” by Stanford, and Southerrt Mountain and French Canadian folksongs, arranged respectively by Joseph Clokey and Louis Victor Saar.

Chorus Is Praised

The chorus presented a nicety of attack and release, excellent diction and a fine-spun pianissimp. There was ‘a strident |tone in the louder passages, however, and a noticeable weakness in the basses’ strength and number. The evening’s high point came with the distinguished collaboration of pianists and orchestra in one of the loveliest: of the Bach concerti. Unanimity of ensemble and rectitude of style in the soloists’ playing served to highlight the music's joyous content and the composer's inexhaustible wealth of contrapuntal invention. Insistent applause brought the players to the footlights repeatedly, land Mr. Schaefer’s able direction was saluted in the general ovation. i Beryl Rubinstein, as composerpianist, and three| choruses shared the honor, yesterday afternoon in the Indiana, of giving the concert preceding the formal opening. Mr. Rubinstein, | director of the Cleveland Institute of Music and a widely-known recitalist, was heard in his own Sonatina in C Sharp Minor, and five shorter pieces—an Arabesque, Caprice, “Whirligig,” Nocturne and Gigue.

and they are to choose officers at the close of the convention Thursday. Mrs. MacDowell’'s subject, “The House in the Woods,” was to concern the MacDowell Colony, Peterboro, N. H. founded by Mr. and Mrs. MacDowell 30 years ago as a retreat for talented writers, composers and artists. The Junior Music Clubs of America contribute toward its upkeep. Among eminent writers and composers who have availed themselves of the seclusion of this mountain top for work during the summer months, are Edward Arlington Robinson, Willa Cather, Mrs. H. H. H. Beach and Rollo Walter Brown. Thornton Wilder was inspired to write “The Bridge of San Luis Rey” at the MacDowell Colony. Miss Mabel Daniels, whose musical composition, “Deep Forest,” recently brought her great acclaim, also finds the colony a retreat for uninterrupted work, Mrs. MacDowell was to say. Lauds Junior Clubs

“Junior Clubs have given generously to the colony,” Mrs. MacDowell said in an interview. “The 40 Texas Junior clubs have contributed more than any other group.” When colony funds grow low Mrs. MacDowell, who is an acclaimed pianist, packs her traveling bag and sets out on a concert tour. “But in the summer time I lose my identity completely and become the hard-working manager of the colony,” she said. Her duties are manifold in overseeing the housekeeping functions in the 24 buildings of the 700-acre colony. A Secretary of Fine Arts in the President's Cabinet—that is the goal of an 80-year-old composer attending the convention in the Claypool Hotel. White-haired, rosy-cheeked Edgar Stillman-Kelley, composer of the “Alice in Wonderland Suite” that is to be sung this afternoon, said: i “Establishment of a Department of Fine Arts in Washington, one of the major goals of the Federation, would be of great cultural benefit to this country.” “Future Rests With Youth” “The future of music rests with the youth and the children of the country,” he said. Dorothy Gordon is to appear in a costume recital at 3:30 p. m. in the Indiana Theater, with Adele Holsten at the piano. At tonight's Federation banquet in the Riley Room at 7 p. m,, “Opera in America” is to be discussed. Mrs. Herbert Witherspoon is to speak on “The Metropolitan Opera Guild”; Paul Longone, “Opera in-Chicago’”; Nickolai Sokoloff, Federal Music Project director, “Opera and the Federal: Music Project,” and Milton Cross, “Opera and the Radio audience.” Winners or the Metropolitan Opera Auditions of the Air—Maxine Stellman, soprano, and Thomas L. Thomas, baritone, are to be presented by Mr. Cross. Mayor Kern is to introduce Mrs, John Alexander Jardine, Federation Srfsident.

Thomas to Be Heard

John Charles Thomas, noted baritone, is to be heard at 8 p. m. tomorrow in the Indiana Theater,

Dr. Stillman-Kellogg was inspired by his wife, also a musician, when he wrote the beginnings of the “Alice In Wonderland Suite,” he said in an interview. He recalled that 20 years ago he composed the first part of the suite as a Christmas gift to Mrs. Still-man-Kelley. ‘They were in Berlin at the time, he said, and he was so inspired in his purpose that he dreamed of Cheshire cats at night. Since that time he has added the choral prelude and children’s choruses and has heard his composition produced by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and many other notable orchestras. Dr Stillman-Kelley agrees with his wife (and musical critic) that the establishment of a Department of Fine Arts in Washington would be of great cultural benefit. “Mrs. Stillman-Kelley is National Federation legislation chairman,” her husband said. “We wish to forward the movement in every way possible.” Mrs. Stillman recently returned from a Southern concert tour, where she presented her husband's compositions on the piano.

Praise Federation

This couple met almost half a century ago when Dr. StillmanKelley was feted in San Francisco at the production of his first real musical composition, “MacBeth.” Mrs. Stillman was in the audience. “We believe that the National Federation of Music Clubs is the greatest influence for the development and encouragement of music in this country,” said the StillmanKelleys, concluding the interview. Yesterday, the Richmond Glee Club, Sanford, Me.; the Mother Singers, Inc., Cincinnati, O.; Beryl Rubinstein, pianist, and The Tulsans of ‘Tulsa, Okla., performed for federation delegates in the Indiana Theater. Last night, Ferdinand Schaefer led the Indianapolis - Symphony Orchestra, with a piano ensemble of Beryl Rubinstein, Bomar Cramer and Dwight . Anderson the Louisville Chorus, in a program at the theater. « Mrs. Vincent Hilles Ober, national junior counsellor, presided over today’s sessions. The Junior Civic Orchestra, Albuquerque, N.

Miss Eloise Palmer was local chairman and Mrs. Lenore Coffin, Mrs. Elizabeth Kaltz Cochran and Miss Helen Hollingsworth were judges. Winners of prizes for the best books submitted by individuals were Junior Hartzell, Jonesboro, Tenn.

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 24.—The Justice Department's antitrust suit against the Aluminum Co. of America fulfills a plan formulated four and a half years ago by the late Thomas J. Walsh, President Roosevelt's first choice for Attorney General. Senator Walsh said shortly after his selettion for the Cabinet that one of his first official acts would be preparation of an antitrust case against the big Mellon company. He had studied the matter for years and had charged repeatedly in the Senate that the aluminum company violated antitrust laws. In 1930 when the Smoot-Haw-ley tariff bill was®pending, he bitterly opposed high tariffs on aluminum as requested by the company.

“It should be understood at the

Suit Against Aluminum Co. 1 ultills Wish of Senator Walsh

is in the hands of an iron-bound and copper-riveted monopoly. The Aluminum Co. of America . . . is the sole producer of aluminum in America. It controls innumerable subsidiary: companies all over the world—in South America, in the countries of Europe, in Canada, and in the United States. “Not only. is it the sole producer of aluminum but it controls all commercial supplies of bauxite in the United States out of which aluminum is made.. Not only that, but it controls very largely the supply of bauxite coming from South America, from British and Dutch Guiana, as well as holding in Europe. “So not only has it a monopolistic control of the production of aluminum in this country but it is in such a situation by reason of its control of the supply of bauxite that no company can be organized in the United States in order te compete with it.”

to arguments on the subject. The hearings ended last night. The committee will begin its private deliberations Tuesday.

Committee’s Stand

On the straight issue of the President’s proposal as it stands, the committee would divide as follows: FOR (8)—Democrats (7): Ashhurst (Ariz), chairman; Pittman (Nev.), Logan (Ky.), McGill (Kas.), Neely (W. Va.), Dieterich (Ill), Hughef (Del); Independent (1): Norris (Neb.). AGAINST (9) — Democrats (6): Burke (Neb.), Connally (Tex), Hatch (N. M.), O'Mahoney (Wyo.), King (Utah), VanNuys (Ind.); Republicans (3): Borah, (Ida.), Austin (Vt.), Steiwer (Ore.). Senator McCarran is the only doubtful member. Both Senators Hatch and O'Mahoney have been noncommittal. Both will vote “no.” The first controversy in the committee when it meets is expected to revolve about procedure; that is, whether there will first be a straight vote on the original proposal, or whether amendments will be considered first.

Amendments’ Defeat Forecast

the Administration meanwhile works out with its friends a compromise that would be acceptable to sufficient foes of the original plan, all proposed amendments would be defeated. Senator Ashurst is insisting upon the plan as it stands, as are some of the other proponents, and will vote against amendments. Most opponents, likewise, will vote against all amendments so they can vote down the President's plan in toto. Some members predicted the measure would be before the committee for as long as {wo weeks.

Court May Rule Monday On Job Insurance

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 24—The Supreme Court promises at least five exciting \ “decision Mondays” starting day after tomorrow, when its two-week recess ends. At any of them the Court may ‘hand down its decision in the state and Federal unemployment-insur-ance cases from Alabama, which affect directly all of the more than 18 million persons enrolled under state plans set up as a part of the Federal social security plan. In addition, the Court probably will decide Monday whether to hear a special expedited appeal of a decision by the U. S. fircuit Court of Appeals at Boston, which held unconstitutional the Federal old-age security tax. Some 26 million persons are already enrolled under this feature of the Social Security Act:

Two Judges May Be Added To Court, Watson Says

By United Press KOKOMO, April 24. — Congress will not approve President Roosevelt’s Supreme Court Revision proposal but may permit appointment of two additional judges, James E. Watson, former senator from Indian%, told the Howard County Republican Women's Club here last night. “He may get two new judges through a compromise and ‘that would accomplish his purpose of packing the Court,” Mr. Watson said.

VANNUYS TO MISS DEMOCRATS’ FEAST

Will Not Attend Dinner Here For Farley.

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 24—Senator VanNuys has no intention of attending the Indianapolis Democratic dinner for Postmaster General James Farley Wednesday night where, it has been reported, a candidate opposed to Senator VanNuys may be discussed. “I am not going to leave Washington while this important Supreme Court case is pending,” Senator VanNuys said today. As one of the leaders in opposition to the President's plan, Senator VanNuys expressed pleasure at the success of the hearings just terminated before the Senate Judiciary Committee of which he is a member. The Committee will hold executive sessions, beginning Tuesday. Senator VanNuys expects to press his motion to split the bill into two parts, divorcing the part putting six new members on the Supreme Court from that speeding up procedure and providing for Federal defense in Constitutional cases. It is only the “Court packing” which he opposes, he said. Postmaster General Farley, Ambrose O'Connell and Smith Purdum, assistants, will be in Indiana to dedicate postoffizes and the Indianapolis dinner has been arranged by Governor M. Clifford Townsend and Democratic organization leaders,

second place I can't proceed against a person on the mere allegations contained in this warrant. I'm waiting to hear from McNalley.”

Parker Trial Tuesday

The “Faulkner” development came as the Government was preparing to try two other well-known figures in the Lindbergh case on charges of kidnaping. Ellis H. Parker, Burlington County, N. J. private detective, and his son, Ellis Jr. go into Federal Court in Newark on Tuesday, charged with kidnaping Paul H. Wendel, a Trenton attorney. They are charged with torturing Wendel until he signed a confession that he, not Hauptmann, committed the Lindbergh crime. Wendel repudiated the confession. Governor Hoffman was attempting at that time to prove his theory that Hauptmann did not commit the Lindbergh crime alone.

Agents’ Talk With Hoffman Revealed

By United Press WASHINGTON, April 24.—Treasury agents have informed Governor Hoffman of New Jersey that the “J. J. Faulkner” gold deposit slip was the “sole unexplained angle” of the Lindbergh kidnaping case from their Sisndpein, it was

learned today. The agents, Frank J. Wilson, Secret Service Chief; Elmer Irey, Chief of the Internal Revenue Bureau's Intelligent Unit, and A. P. Madden, head of the unit's Chicago office,

| were invited to Trenton early this

week by Governor Hoffman to relate the Treasury's efforts to solve the crime through tracing ransom bills. They provided these. details: The serial numbers of the ransom cash were taken down at the insistence of the Treasury men over the objections of Col. Lindbergh. Of the $50,000 paid the kidnapers, $35,000 was in gold certificates of $10 and $20 denominations. When President Roosevelt called in all gold and gold certificates by May 1, 1933, a letter was sent to every banking institution in the United States and some in foreign countries, notifying them to check carefully all gold certificates against the numbers of the ransom bills.

Probe Proved Futile

On May 1, $2980 in gold certificates was deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the name of J. J. Faulkner. A quiet, undercover investigation was conducted and finally” a businiessman who had married a woman named Faulkner was questioned. Experts could find no resemblance, however, between his = handwriting and that on the deposit slip. The investigation was aropped because it was found that no suspicion attached to the man. Treasury agents have a theory, however, that the gold note depositor may have appeared at the bank with bandaged hands and asked another person to sign his deposit slip with a name taken from an old city directory.

New Romance

For Denhardt EF 1ancee Hinted

Bi United Press NEW CASTLE, Ky., April 24 — Hints of a new love story were ine jected today into the trial of Brig, Gen. Henry H.
