Effect Is as Important As High Costs. |

The effect of the social security ernment is as important as the con-

ence’ A. Jackson, State Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, told the Service Club today. Mr. Jackson, former Indiana Gross Income Tax director, warned that the problems in the broad field of social security deserve and must have the most careful research. “They must be approached realistically,” he said. “If the wording

background, of the people who administer the laws are not watched closely, financial and-moral bankruptcy of the nation are certain.

Stresses Its Importance

“Last year, the cost ‘of providing social security ‘to Hoosier citizens was nearly double that of education, and education long has |been

mental service, “However, what it may do to our philosophy of government, to the stamina, the courage and the initiative of our individual citizens is vital. Within the framework of the social security structure, our people can be regimented to the extent that the word ‘democracy’ and “America, the home of the brave and the land of the free’ will become ancient history and a hollow mockery.” |! This vast and comprehensive program, he said, has every indication of doubling the cost of government that we knew not many years ago. The social security payroll taxes alone,’a tax unknown before 1935, now is the third largest tax in the U. S. exceeded only by property taxes and the Federal net income tax, he added.

Urges Concerted Action

Mr. Jackson branded attempts to eliminate merit rating for employers and convert Unemployment Compensation benefits into a dole as un-American. He said the plan which rewards the employer who stabilizes employment by giving him a lower tax rate is essential in maintaining the incentive for private industry to provide steady work and thereby make an| individual contribution to the solution of the national unemployment probem, He told his audience that the individual citizen must not lose perspective simply because these problems are large and complicated. “A lasting solution is possible through concerted action beginning at the Court House,” he said. “The great need is for a day by day in= terest in our peacetime problems by the millions of our citizens as they come and go in our stores, factories and offices. “This is the last nation ‘of any consequence where free business enterprises are permitted. It can’t be kept unless we strive for it, and it is worth every sacrifice to keep America as she is today.”

He was a Keystone Kop and a lot of other things. And he’s been in the movies ever since. About that slow burn, Edgar says very few people really understand it. He’s been doing it about 11 years but the country has caught on to it only the last few years. “Most people think of it as the hand over the face deal,” he says. “Even directors, when a scene is dragging, will* stop everything and call: ‘Edgar, we got to do something. Give us a slow burn’” “And for what?” says Mr. Kennedy. “A slow burn is slow. It

He says he learned that from Charlie Chaplin, who, with Fred Mace, are the two greatest screen comedians, in Kennedy’s opinion. “I was supposed to kick Charlie one time,” he smiled. “In those days we did everything fast. It was bang, bang, bang. I kicked him once and nothing happened. I kicked him again. The third time I kicked him he went flying.

“I thought he'd .be sore. He wasn't. He just came back and explained to me what he was trying to do. He said: ‘A kick is a laugh, but a kick that doesn’t work for a couple of times is better. That’s comedy. You've got to work up to it’.” That, says Mr. Kennedy, is the slow burn. Edgar is set in motion pictures now. But he says he wants to be a “regular guy,” and it isn’t affectation.

any previous uvations. As Mr. Sevitzky signaled for the final chord of the final piece until next November there was a burst of applause, shouts and whistles which must have disturbed any seismographs in the vicinity. Yesterday's program was the people’s choice. Light, brilliant and tuneful in its substance, it proved to be a field-day for all concerned. Elgar's “Pomp and Circumstance” opened the program, followed by two movements from the Fifth Symphony of Tschaikowsky. Only the desire to make the program as inclusive as possible limited the symphony’s representation to two movements. For such is the work’s popularity —and perhaps more significant, such is Mr. Sevitzky’s reputation

any other major composition. Sibelius’ “Finlandia” preceded intermission talks on behalf of the maintenance fund campaign -by Dr. D. S. Robinson, Butler University president, and Kurt Pantzer. In the last half were Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2; the Entr’ Acte to Act III of “La Traviate,” with Leon Zawisza, orchestra’s able concertmaster, as soloist; “Anitra’s Dance,” from Griez’s “Peer Gynt” music; | Strauss’ “Tales from the Vienna Woods” ‘and Cesana’s “Negro Heaven.”

this needs is any critical goinginto. The music, with the exception .of the Cesana work, has been speaking for itself these many years. As for ‘Negro Heaven,” it’s a rousing bit of symphonic. jazz, though the themes lead one to believe that Mr. Cesana was George Gershwin and Jerome Kern in. blackface.

MR. SEVITZKY conducted everything with a freshness and spirit which belied the arduous five months which he was completing. The orchestra at times revealed an understandable lateseason weariness in its‘ playing, but for the most part the musicians did their conductor’s bidding with a good will and technical finesse.

‘Broderick Crawford is scheduled to star in a New York play next fall. |

Sevitzky responded to four tumultuous calls, held up his hands for silence, stood and grinned until the audience laughed with him, and then made a sh8rt speech by way of au revoir. He thanked the audience for its co-operation, complimented them on their good taste in the matter of requested compositions, hinted at an allBeethoven “pop” concert in the future, and assured his listeners that he and the orchestra liked them and thought they were “fine people.” i Then he signaleg the audience to rise and conducted “The Star- | Spangled Banner’| ’as the season’s real grand finale. His chorus nubered 2175, and only a lack of space prevented some 300 more frcem hearing the concert and joining in atthe finish.

A symphony ‘orchestra is always a risky and expensive business. But here in Indianapolis it also is obviously accepted, wel= comed and enjoyed.
