DOAK Salem MacDowell club present ed an auspicious final concert for the year with the appearance Thursday night in the Grand the atre of its chorus together with David Campbell, guest artist The director, Lena Belle Tar tar, has during the past season worked out a combination of vole es, both men's and women's which give promise of a splendid' ly superior chorus. A year of gruelling work, of culling and training, of combining and unify ing was plainly evidenced in the praiseworthy results of the spring concert. The soprano section appeals to the reviewer as one of excellence rarely found in such choruses. Free and soaring in every part this section brought a brilliance to the chorus numbers that stamped the memory. The reviewer felt the need of greater support from the alto sec tion and with such numbers as To the Spirit of Music" and 'Come Away Death" this support seemed to be given with compli mentary results. An Innovation with this year s work of the chorus nnder Miss Tartar, has been the introduction of a men's section of basaand tenor. The wisdom of this de velopment was plainly evident ln the final number, "Bridal Cho rus" from The Rose Maiden by Cowen. Animated, full throated, and with harmonious unity the se lection brought a delightful eve ning of music to a close. The male chorus too, added splendid balance to the program numbers and gave promise of an excellent addition to the Mac Dowell woTk for next year. wants men who can be trained as sub-foremen.

Does the word spell a job, or higher wages, or better ririces for his Droducts or will it cost him more to live? If inflation, merely a catch word up to now, is iunaamentauy a neai thy tonic, why wasn t it pre scribed before?

April 20 (AP) President Roosevelt moved Into the broadest phase ot his new deal program tonight with an unprecedented congres sional proposal to give him power over money Ho bring about a eon- trolled new price level and an expansion of credit. Again backed by the over whelming democratic majority on Capitol Hill, the president took up this most troublesome ot prob lems ln the same confident spirit of success that has marked his other moves for management ot national affairs. ' Some congressional opposition Is in prospect to his latest pro nosal to guide the United States to what he believes are better days, bat Mr. Roosevelt already Is prepared to put the plan into Operation. Never In the history ot the gov eminent has such power been pro posed foe a president as that ad vanced at the capltol to give him authority to issue new currency. to devaluate the dollar and to ac cent silver payments on war debts. But It was Insisted npon by him that limitations be fixed and It was emphasized by his Inti mates that definite objectives were in mind to improve Amer ica's position at home and abroad. The legislation dropped into the senate hopper v late today would give him power to issue $3,000,000,000 in new currency; to lower the gold percentage ot the dollar by as much as titty per cent, and to accept np to a total of $100,000,900 in stiver ra pay ment ot war debts, with a maxi mum price on silver ot 50 cents as ounce.
