portance by the organization. 6 Cities Ask Parley

Formal invitations for the 1939

biennial convention of the federation were issued today at the closing conference at the Claypool Hotel. Six cities held out promises of

good financial support, adequate concert” halls, energetic promotion and excellent audiences. Spokesmen were Mrs. Harry Steele Haley, San Francisco; Mrs. Grace Widney Mabee, for Los Angeles; Mrs. Eva Whitford Lovetto, for Washington; Mrs. Frank S. Rowe, Cumberland, Md. for Baltimore; Mrs. R. A. Herbruck, Dayton, for Cleveland, O., and Mrs. Theodore Otis Leonard Jr., for Detroit. The decision will be referred to the new board of directors which is to meet tomorrow morning at the Claypool Hotel. ’ A resolution was passed at the morning session that the federation do its utmost to work for the cause of peace in the belief that music is one of the greatest factors in promoting good will. = Drafting of a bill: for présentation to Congress is being delayed, however, pending consideration of the proposal made by President Roosevelt for the reorganization of the Federal Government to add new departments, she reported. A resolution urging that commercial broadcasting organizations sponsoring symphony orchestras in radio broadcasts be urged to incorporate in their programs worthy compositions of American-born composers in proportion to those of of other lands, was unanimously passed by the federation. : This resolution was presented to the National Resolutions Committee by the Indiana Federation. The convention also went on record as indorsing the movement to insure the use of a standardized version of the “Star-Spangled Banner” and urging that this standardized version be the one harmonized by Dr. Damrosch.

Hymn Report Made

In a report given by Mrs. J. Kenneth Pfohl, Winston Salem, N. .C., hymn study chairman, she said that “Music Federation clubs in 35 states are engaged in hymn study. Junior choirs, schools and college organizations and hymn societies are a few of the many interested.” Mrs. Harrison Robertson, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.,, hymn study advisory chairman, announced that in 1937, the Federation is offering a certificate of distinction to state winners in folk hymn playing contests. She also said that Rhode Island has introduced a course of folk hymn lectures. : Miss Helen Havener, Federation convention publicity director, ad-

dressed the morning’s publicity forum on “Two Kinds of News.” Chicago Editor Speaks Philip Maxwell, Chicago Tribune good-fellow editor, spoke on ‘“Journalism in Music.” Mr. Maxwell also is ‘director of the Chicagoland Music Festival, held annually in Soldiers’ Field, Chicago. He made a plea for music festivals “wherein all the musical talent of a community is gathered together in one great burst of song.” “There is a mistaken concept that baseball is America’s national game,” Mr. Maxwell said. “The great American game is really music. Go over statistics for the last 10 years and you will find that the largest crowd in America did not attend the Harvard-Yale game or any other football or baseball classic. But a crowd estimated at | 150,000 people did hear the first Chicagoland Music Festival in 1930. Oscar Thompson, Musical America editor-in-chief, talked on ‘Problems of the Music Critic,” at the publicity forum. A trio of Indiana speakers participated in the luncheon conference at Roberts Park Curch. They included Elmer Steffen, SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral music director;

. Temple Destroyed “In the year 70 thé Temple was destroyed and instrumental music was omitted as a token of mourning,” Rabbi Feurerlicht said. “It was not until the early part of the nineteenth century that instrumental music was reintroduced and then only to the reformed congregations. Orthodox synagogues still have no instrumental music as a part of the regular service.” Members of the choir, which illustrated synagogue music, included Mrs. Jane Johnson Burroughs, Virgil Phemister and Farrell Scott. “Music as an art had its birth in the church,” said Mr. Steffen. “While it is true that a great many of our parish churches have done little toward eliminating the theatrical and secular types of hymns, in the most part these are exceptional! cases. The tendency today in Catholic Church music is a marked one toward a greater knowledge of

the liturgy of the church.” Following their addresses a round

When Stork Comes to Ducks, Riverside Routine Is Upset

Fence Is Asked to Keep Mama Birds at Home When They Start Laying Eggs.

(Photos, Page One)

By JOE COLLIER Last year 12 new ducks were launched into Lake Sullivan from No. 10 fairway, Coffin Golf Course, where they had been “run-away” eggs. This year things are going to be more regular if Andy Miller, who

keeps the Riverside Park ducks, can do anything about it.

Today he

will go before the Park Board and ask for a fence around the duck

ranch. That ought to hold them. When ducks.get to having children the whole routine at Riverside Park is upset. At this time of the year duck mamas are astonishingly careless about their babies. Andy says that they lay eggs around Lake Sullivan like a pearl necklace and then waddle away and leave them. He gathers them and puts them under hens who hatch them, although at times the hens get notions and peck at ducks’ tail feathers. After this week, the ducks will settle down seriously to parenthood, Andy said. They then will build nests in the rose bushes, under the hydrangeas and in the shrubbery. Then maybe two or three ducks will lay eggs in the nest—as many as 30 eggs—and all three will set (or sit) on them. When they hatch one duck usually will walk away with all of them, launch them in the lake, and leave the other two sitting (or setting) on a nest that would be empty if they would be up and about. Andy says he has no idea of why all this ducknapping takes place. The two bereft ducks usually do nothing about it. Sometimes,

though, they adopt baby ducks from

the foster-mother hens. This makes the hens mad. All this has happened or is going to happen at Riverside. Meanwhile

guineas, dressed in slate-gray dotted

Swiss, continue to be plain mean. |

There are five of them, and they go around pecking at tail feathers and upsetting ducks and chickens alike. , They are very pugnacious. Andy says that the ducks eat more during this season. He threw a handful of oats into the lake and all the ducks dived in practically as one feather. caught in the duck tide and wound up in the water. It flew out. The geese go honking about, not accomplishing much, except for laying bigger eggs than any of the others. Guinea hens lay the smallest eggs, and are the hardest to get along with, They don’t make much noise, either, except by proxy. That's about all there is to report, except that while the mama ducks are on the nests, the papa ducks keep bachelor quarters over on an island. They just eat, swim around and loaf. Andy says he never saw a duck papa pacing the bridle path when he and the little woman were hav-

Warns of Nazi Work Here

British Peer Notes Unrest in Europe as Forerunner Of Possible War; Lauds Schools to Benefit Minorities; Here to Address Jewish Dinner.

Lord Marley, traveling in the United States in the interest of oppressed European minorities, said today that he was not at all certain that war could be prevented in eastern Europe. Lord and Lady Marley are in Indianapolis to speak tonight before the Jewish Welfare Fund in the Columbia Club.

Lord Marley said that it was almost certain there was Nazi activity in Indianapolis as well as in every city of any size in the United States. “Conditions in Europe today are pretty serious,” Lord Marley said.

“Conditions in western Europe are

better, but it is' very dangerous in the east. “This arises in a large part because of the economic and aggressive policy of Germany. Germany is bound to have some sort of excuses for aggressive policies. “In whatever country there is internal unrest, there is a risk of some external aggressiveness.

Poverty Stirs Unrest

“Poverty is the basis for internal unrest. People for some reason dislike starving. They try to find out who is responsible—they seek for a scapegoat. “As a result, they blame a minority, the group which differs by language, race, culture or religion and which, for some reason, has not become assimilated politically and economically.” Lord Marley said that there are a number of schools in eastern Europe which are teaching members of these oppressed minorities industries and trades so that they can become part of the economic unit. Nearly all Jews, he said, are in distributive trades in eastern Europe and as such middlemen, are cordially disliked by both manufacturers and consumers. Millions of Jews are starving in Poland, he said. These schools, he said. for which he is hoping to raise money, educate the minorities for trades. When they ‘become self supporting, they cease, in a sense, to be minorities and thus one cause of war is removed.

Lady Marley Sews

Lady Marley sat through the interview in their Marott Hotel suite, sewing a button on her jacket. She looked up at this point and said: “The schools also help raise the purchasing power and that is a very vital point. It ineans another pair of boots sold.” She looked at Lord Marley and said: “I think that’s a very important point, don’t you, Daddy?” Lord Marley said he did, but pointed out that until the goods manufactured by the graduates of these schools were purchased there would be no lift in the purchasing power.

METHODIST LAYMEN HOLD CONFERENCE

Harry W. White of Indianapolis Addresses Parley.

Times Special ANDERSON, April 29.—The annual laymen’s conference of the North Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was held here today. Harry W. White,

MURDER REWARD DIVIDED 3 WAYS

Victim's Widow Shares $2500 Posted by Kroger.

A $2500 reward posted by the Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. for the arrest and conviction of the killers of John M. Penny, truck driver, was ordered divided three ways by Special Superior Judge Alan Boyd today. : He ordered $1250 of the reward paid to Ira - Holmes, attorney for Gerald Haygood, who implicated two others in his confession. He ordered $750 paid to the Police Pension Fund and $500 to Mrs. Ruth May Penny, widow of the driver who was stoned to death in March, 1935. Those who lost claims to part of the reward were L. G. Epstein, auto salesman; Morris Moss, private detective, and Mrs. James Haygood, mother of the accused. Haygood is serving a sentence im the State Prison.

State Board Holds Budget Approval Necessary To Validity.

(Continued from Page One)

struction of the proposed Mile Stuart Memorial Building at Technical High School might be delayed

for another budget year.

The - Tech structure's estimated cost by the board's buiiding committee more than a year ago was $800,000. Mr. Boyd said he doubted the building could be built for that amount under the present higher material costs.

Pay Hikes Hit Funds

Teachers’ salary increases amounting to $196,780 made at this week's Board meeting has resulted in reducing the Board's proposed building program for next year, members said. Mr. Boyd that

said when

: the School city’s tax levy of $1.10

was cut to $1.07, the current rate, expenditures for the current year were based on. the $1.10 levy. The result is, he said, that the School City begins the next budget year $150,000 in the “red.” “This must be budgeted for,” he explained, ‘and when you add the increase proposed for teachers’ salaries of $196,780 to the $150,000 and then deduct both from the current $875,000 building program about $325,000 is left—or an amount sufficient to build the Crispus Attucks structure at increased material prices.”

Schools’ Needs on Parity

Both Mr. Boyd and School Supers intendent Paul C. Stetson said the needs at the Attucks and Technical schools are ‘on a parity.” Overcrowding of pupils in both schools have mounted yearly, they said. At Attucks there is an esti mated excess of 1000 pupils over the school’s normal quota. Completion of the Irvington High School, for which bids are to be ree ceived May 19 is expected to help some in relieving the Tech situation. Departmental heads of the School City are beginning a study of budgets.
