Albert Spalding To Be Here May 3
Albert Spalding, America's foremost violinist, will present a concert at 8:20 May 3 in Hoch auditorium as part of the American Music Week program and the last number on the University Concert course.
Mr. Spalding has studied with Chiti, the famous Florentine master, Buitrago, in New York, and Lefort, in Paris. He was graduated from the Bologna Conservatory at the age of 14 with the highest honors ever accorded anyone since Mozart.
The artist has appeared with the leading symphony orchestras in America and Europe, and has played return engagements with some of them as many as 20 times. He is the only American violinist and one of the five world famous violinists who have appeared at the famous Scala Opera house in Milan. Mr. Spalding is the only American violinist to be invited to appear as soloist with the famous Conservatoire orchestra.
In 1917, Mr. Spalding cancelled his contracts to enlist in the Air Corps. He was assigned to active duty overseas, and as recognition of his distinguished service in the A. E. F., he received the Italian Cross of the Crown of Italy and the rosette of the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France.
Besides being a concert artist, Spalding is recognized as a great American composer. More than 60 of his violin and piano compositions have been published.
Legislator He Hates WAVE's
Washington, (INS)—Breathing indignation and declaring himself opposed to a bill to permit WAVES to be sent overseas, Rep. Vincent (D Ky., told the house this week;
"When Gen. MacArthur is begining for planes, what do we propose to do—we propose to give him a little WAVE."
The house Naval Affairs committee member declared the pending bill has "less merit" than any brought before congress since he had been a member. Of the organization of women in the Navy, he said:
"It's inefficient, it's a fad. It's all right if you want to teach them to say 'good night, mam,' but for God's sake don't put them in the position where they'll be coming to congress for pensions and asking allotments for their husbands."

Order Specifies Control of Food
Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt issued an executive order yesterday designed to clear up any conflict in the over-lapping powers of war food administrator Chester Davis and Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard.
The order changed the name of the food production administration, of which Davis was head, to the war food administration.
In effect, the order returns to Wickard the powers taken away from him after the appointment of Davis if the secretary finds the use of such powers is necessary to carry out his duties.
The order also gives Davis the right to use any powers which were exclusively those of the secretary if Davis finds such action necessary.
MILITARY---his stay "south of the border," was a little after-dinner habit of the Yaqui Indians. The Yoquis had the quaint custom of ambushing parties which traveled the roads and killing at will, especially enjoying the destruction of Mexicans.

13, 1941, as a WPA project, originally planned to cost $125,000, and work was halted January 28 of this year when all WPA projects were discontinued. Mr. Green will build a second story on the building, roof it, and finish the plastering, flooring, and painting.
Lewis Holds Out For Wage Raise
Mr. Green and his brother, Mont J. Green, have built several buildings on the campus, including the Mineral Research building, for which Basil Green has the completion contract.
Washington, (INS) — The United States government and John L. Lewis yesterday clashed in two critical labor controversies with a possibility that the final outcome will be a strike of soft coal miners and the army taking over a vital war plant.
The developments are:
1. Lewis defiantly refused to appear before a meeting of the War Labor Board which met in an attempt to end the long wage deadlock between the powerful labor chiefship and soft coal operators.
2. President Roosevelt, a short time later, ordered striking members of Lewis' union to return to work at the Celanese plant at Newark, N. J., or the army will take it over.
Thus the stage was set for a final showdown between the White House and labor's most forceful leader.
Lewis and the soft coal operators have been deadlocked since mid March on the demands of the miners for a $2 a day increase.
Members of Lewis' UMW (Dist. 50) have been on strike at the Celanese plant for 12 days and have established a picket line in defiance of the president's no-srtike order and of the WLB.
Tokyo Raid Japs Now Lead Hate Parade
By WALTER KIERNAN
BY WALTER KLEIENAN After what the Japs did to our fliers it's going to be difficult to keep our minds on the strategy of knocking Germany out of the war first.
There may not be much choice between the ruthlessness of the Nazis and the Japs, but at the moment the dirty little Nips are leading our hate parade.
If we needed anything to steam up our interest in the war in the Pacific, this is it.
And now that we've got it, what are we going to do about it?
All the indignant speeches of officialdom put together don't disturb the compacency of the scurvy little bandits of Tokyo.
But waves of bombers will.
And that's not an original thought —every fighting man in the Pacific has been looking for the arrival of more bombers since before the Philippines fell.
Thought for the day: put up or shut up . . . that's the way wars are fought.

Mexico, Then Siam Geologist Lee
"Suiting You, That's My Business"
Just Missed Being a Corpse
924 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Mass.
Geologist Wallace Lee, who began his colorful career in a secluded spot in Mexico some 60 miles from the nearest railroad station, has been at the University since 1937 on a cooperative state and federal geological survey project doing research on gas and oil deposits in northeastern Kansas.
One time, just before Lee began a trip over the highway he learned that the preceding party had been ambushed and murdered. Another time he was the last person to travel the road before the Yaquis struck again.
A bit of local color which Lee contended with throughout
But Wallace Lee's experiences in Mexico (near Sonora) are 'only a small part of his "experience book." His work with geology has carried him also to Siam and Central America.
Shortly after the last war Lee was sent to Siam where he lived for two years. It was necessary to learn the "tone" language spoken by the Siamese, in which the slightest difference in tonal quality can change the meaning of the word. "After two years I was able to send fairly well, but my receiving was still muddled."
Siamese Can't Be Monotones
He is unusual in that he has no hobby, but he is interested in many things. His collection of Siamese curios has been displayed in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Toward music he turns an appreciative ear. Composers? "Till go as far as Tschaikowsky." But he is not hep to rhumboogie, solid drumming, and wailing clarinets, adding with a smile, "I guess that dates me."

More Russian To Be Offered Next Semester
Two new courses, Masterpieces of Russian Literature in Translation I and II will be offered by the University next fall and spring semesters, Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College said yesterday. The new courses were approved by the faculty at their last meeting.
These two-hour courses will cover the chief literary works of modern Russia, with emphasis on the novel. Prof. John W. Ashton, chairman of the English department, will teach the courses, considering character traits, dominant ideas, and relationships with other European literatures.
In the first semester, writers from the time of Pushkin to Turgenev will be studied; and Tolstoy up to the modern Soviet writers will be taken up the second semester. The courses will be conducted in English.
Elementary Russian, a five-hour course, and Russian Reading and Grammar, a three-hour course, will be offered in the 16-weeks summer session, Dean Lawson said. The second course will be offered for the first time, and it will emphasize the spoken language.
