Famous Negro Spirituals An hour of folk songs and spiri tuals of the negro rare, with Harry Burleigh, foremost colored musician of the world, singing them with orchestral, band and rhoral accompaniment, will fea mr: tie Fripidaire program In the series of General Motors family pirties on Monday evening, Feb. Hurleish if one of the outstand i.m leaders who has brought dig nity and distinction to his race. For thirty-five years he has been the principal soloist of St. George's Kpisiopal chnreh In New York City, retained over that long pe riod by a white congregation be cause of the beautiful quality of hij baritone voire and his devotion to religious music. Not only In the rocal field, however, has he at tained ret-orniiion. He is given full credit in the world of music for havinr saved the now famous negro folk songs and spirituals from oblivion. Years of research and, study of the music of his own people have resulted in the com position and arrangement by him of one hundred and thirty-five of these songs, whose beginnings go back to days of antiquity among the black tribes of Africa, His best known composition of this na ture is "Deep River." Burleigh wa? a poor boy, born of obscure parents in Erie, Peon.. 61 years ago, and grandson of a slave. Hie success in music has been co-incident with a long strug gle for livelihood in a restricted field of endeavor, varying from deck hand to bookkeeper. In apite of these limitations he managed to work his way through school and to graduate from Howard Univer sity in Washington, D. C. During later years bis path ha been smoother, a his great roice and his compositions have brought him substantial remuneration. The spirituals of the American i negro to be sung Monday evening, are said to constitute the most ex tensive and varied body of folk song that is ftill alire and grow ing in any civilized country today. The tyre itself is a hybrid.with almost infinite variety. As a ba sis ihe negro used the hymns of white people, more or less uncon sciously, taking them apart and ildinir them with additions from many sources. He Incorpor ated a little of everything from the Bible down to popular stage songs of his day, and unified an hv instilllnit into it hi own pe culiar psychology, pathos and hu mor. The results were aomelimes crude, but not infrequently he hit upon a literary effectiveness great er than the studied artistry of more learned composers. Unique in their imagery, style and creative effort these songs defy Imitation. With the singing of the old folk songs, the Negro can banifch all feeling, and project himself beyond the reaches of hu man limitations Into the land of the sDlrlt. The religious songs, with their weird intonations, produce a mys tical effect that is generally touch ing the pathetic. Never since man first lived and suffered was . his lnneine and suffering uttered more Dlaintlvely. There is no parallel instance of an oppressed race thus sustained bv relieiouF sentiment. Its songs are but the real expression of the KimnilHtv of its faith and the sun liniity of its long resignation. The wild sad stories tell, a the suf ferers themselves could, of crushed hopee, keen sorrow and a dull daily misery, which cover them. On the other hand the words breathe a faith in rest for the future to which their eyes seem constantly turned. Assisting artists in the Frigid aire hour will be the Hall-Johnson Jubilee singers, a chorus of negro vocalists almost as famous in their field as Burleigh in his.

' In addition to the attitude of the Federal Radio Commission In op posing the extension of license pe riods until the broadcasting situa tion has been satisfactorily cleared up, opposition has developed in Congress to "freezing" the radio spectrum. Judge Eugene O. Sy- kes, acting chairman of the com mission, aeciares it would be un wise to grant long term licensee until reception has been greatly improved. The commission has been granting licenses for only 60 days so that It could make neces sary changes In the Interest of the listening public. Representative Ewln L. Davis, democrat, of Tennessee, haa sug gested to the committee on Marine and Fisheries which has charge of radio legislation in the House, that the law be amended to limit the life of broadcasting licenses to 90 days. The radio law authorizes the Issuance of licenses up ftp three years. Mr. Davla said he did not propose to strike out the three year clause but would hold it in suspension a year. Paul W. Morency. field repre sentative of the National Associa tion of Broadcasters, declares the desire of every station, which in tends to remain In the broadcast ing business, is for stabilization of the industry. There are two factors which will Uses AC Tubes constructed for alternating; current By C. K. Bntterfleid -(Associated Press Radio Editor) NEW YORK (AP) Alternat ing current tubes, when placed in the audio end of a receiver, per form as satisfactorily as storage battery valves. A few precautions are necessary in construction, with a slight change in the filament circuit wlr ing. Otherwise an AC amplifier is no different from one using direct current tubes. Filament wires of lampcord or other twisted cable should be kept as far away as possible from the other parts of the set. Filament current Is obtained through a step- down transformer connected to the house lighting lines. Several models of AC tubes, with varying voltages, are avail able. Those selected for this am plifier are of the heater type, hav ing five connections. Filament wires come out at the tops of the tubes. The base has four prongs but only three of them are used. To facilitate wiring, filament posts on the sockets should be wired together as a single unit, to which grid returns are fastened. In selecting apparatus for the amplifier, quality should be the governing factor. An output trans former is almost a necessity. It keeps the high plate voltage out of the loud speaker windings and aids in production. Volume may be controlled by a variable resistance of 200,000 ohms or so shunted across the secondary of the first transform er-. A C battery la necessary, the voltage for the first tube being smaller than for the second, de pending upon the B voltage. The heater tube will take up to 190 volts on the plate. The filament voltage Is three In placing the filament wires, the tube should act as their support. Attached to a tuner having s step of radio frequency and a re generative detector, the AC ampli fier will deliver without distortion. While there will be a slight AC hum when tuned off a station. It is not disagreeable. bring this about, Mr. Morency says, the granting of longer term licenses by the commission and the finding of men of ability to place in managerial and sales men's positions. "The first factor Is vital to the industry in order that the second may be given a fair opportunity of accomplishment" said Mr. Mor ency. "With license granted in the near future for six or nine months it would be possible for the prin cipal stations to proceed vigorous ly In the organization of their sta tlons. the placing of well spon sored hours and the production of sxcellent programs.''
