Reading clerks intoned the
president's message to both
houses shortly after they met. In
the senate, there was a loud buzz
: of conversation, meanwhile, sen
ators wandered in and out of theL
; era, Senator Barkley (D-Ky) and
Senator McNary (R-Ore) .stood
- In the middle of the center aisle,
holding an animated discussion.
. This scene hadits i parallel in
the house, and there confusion
' was increased by the failure of
the loud-speaker system.
Mr. Roosevelt warned civilians
in his message that on the aver-
. age they can be supplied with
but $500 worth of goods and ser
vices during the fiscal year, or al-
most 25 per cent less than In the
"record year of 194 L. But "even
then", he continued, "most of us
; will be better fed, better clothed,
and better housed than oth
peoples in the world."
.- Each citizen, he continued, must
.be assured of "the necessities ' of
life at prices which he can pay,1
or "rising prices will lift many
igoods : beyond his reach just as
- surely as if those goods did not
i exist. A concerted effort to sta
bilize prices, rents and wages, he
; added, had kept the "rise in the
cost of living within narrow
bounds." Prices, he said, could
and i would be stabilized "with
only a limited use of subsidies to
stimulate needed production."
He warned that seme wanted
the stabilixation controls re
laxed for this or that group.
These, be added, ferret that
"to relax the eentrels far one
- group was an argument to re
lax for. other groups, thereby
etarting the east of lirlng spiral
which would undermine the
war effort and cause grave post
war difficulties."
Without the, tax increase, Mr.
Roosevelt estimated that the new
. budget would' Increase the na
- tional debt to a total - of $210,
49,000,000. Some $78,000,000,
00 would have to be borrowed to
Y cover the broad spread between
? vjuvernmental Income and outgo.
- The "nation Is soundly solvent'
be said, and "such a debt can and
will be repaid.'
At a supplemental press con
lerence held on Saturday, Mr.
Roosevelt informally broke the
contemplated outlay of $109,000,
000,000 down in this way:

Almost everyone knows there is
music in an - automobile's well-
tuned motor; most of us have
heard the melody which may lie
behind rhythmically played type
writer keys. But did you know
that there can be an entire sym
phonic ring in the sounds from
a battery of linotypes on a
"smooth" night?
That is the time when every
operator turns out a little more
than ordinarily, punches the keys
and touches the lever with a
lightness matched only by a fine
instrumentalist. Think back as I
will I can remember no such pro
duction before other than the
back shop's usual public. So
'twould probably do no good for
a layman to stand in the doorway
to listen for the humming back
ground that sometimes carries the
melody, the sharp, clear fore
ground, timing the whole and now
and then rising to provide the
soprano highlights. What he would
hear would be rattle and crash,
disharmony so great as to be for
ever outside the realm of music
Or, can it be that the melody
lies within the ear of the listener
only? I have never, since Decem
ber 7, 1941, heard the! teletype
do other than mutter and jangle
as it brought in its burden of
news, and yet, somewhere back
in that pre-dimout era there was

The navy said Rear A dm.
Charles P. Mason of Pensacola,
Fla., was commander of the Hor
net and that he is safe.
The battle in which the Hor
net was lest was a costly one for
the Japanese. The only other
American ship lost in the action
was the destroyer Porter. The
Japanese, on the other hand,
suffered two aircraft carriers
heavily damaged, a battleship
damared, and damage also to
five cruisers.
The name of the Porter had
previously been disclosed and no
reference was made to that ship
in Monday night's communique.
The cruisers Juneau and Atlan
ta, practically new ships, having
been commissioned in 1942 and
1941, respectively, were lost , dur
ing the great mid-November bat
tle of Guadalcanal in which the
Japanese were defeated with ex
tremely heavy losses in their
greatest attempt to reconquer the
strategic island from which the
battle takes its name. ,
The seven destroyers also were
lost in that furious night engage
ment. Tfte Northampton was sunk by
enemy action during an engage
ment north of Guadalcanal on the
night of November 30-December 1.

damaged, but the Northampton

Violin Artist

Albert Spaulding in
Concert. Pleases -
Average Listener
By MAXINE BUREN
From the I moment that Albert
Spalding, brilliant American vio
linist, drew his bow across the
strings i of his violin in the first
number until the last tones of his
final encore faded,' listeners Mon
day night were completely cap
tivated.", 1: - ..
A mere layman cannot describe,
does not know, the technical per
fection of his performance, and
words cannot do it justice.
But an "average listener can
enjoy violin music thoroughly, and
have a definite reaction to this
performance : which thrilled the
music lover ; and satisfied to the
utmost the ' : technically . trained
musician. .
The layman's enjoyment came
in the sheer beauty of tone and
the confidence of the artist. The
audience was not shocked Into
listening by affected mannerisms,
it was compelled by the sheer
beauty of the music From the
swing of the violinist's bodyand
the draw ot the bow, one feels
that Spalding means what he is
playing.
The velvet tones of the "Pas
toral Gentile1 'by Frascobaldi,
Beethoven's "Sonata in G Major,"
Granados "Spanish Dance" and
Spalding's own "Alabama" and
"Castles in Spain" were all pleas
ant to the ear, and understand
able to the "average listener."
"Nocturne by Chopin and "Ca
price" by Saint-Saens were me
lodious. The brilliant, "Concerto
in D Major" by Pagan ini was
compelling in its perfection.
His selection of encores was the
final seal of the audience's appre
ciation for Albert Spalding "Ave
Maria" by Schubert, Brahm's
"Waltz" and sonorous tones of
Chaminade's "Serenade."
Treat Soldier
Like Man, Is
Major's Plea
Soldiers should be treated as
though they were civilians, as in
dividual human beings, Maj. R.
E. Riordan, director of intelligence
and internal security "at Camp
Adair, told a Salem chamber of
commerce audience Monday noon.
They are no different, because
of their uniform, than civilians,
the major declared, and their con
duct averages out favorably.
"Look at what kind of men they
are," the speaker advised. "You
don't want to have the same un
favorable remarks passed - about
your boy who is in service' that
you often hear about the man in
uniform" ; .
1 w
Law enforcement problems are
not changed by the presence of
soldiers, Maj. Riordan asserted'
Those problems still are, as to the
soldier as much as to the' civil
ian, ones or obedience and dis
obedience to -established laws,
problems that in each case are for
local police departments to han
dle, he said. ;
Major Riordan warned, how
ever, that "if one of your places
begins" to assure the aspect of a
dive, the soldiers will be told to
stay away and they will do just
that."
In defense ; of the soldier, - Maj.
Riordan challenged the city of Sa
lem to equal the record of Camp
Adair, which he said was in ef
fect a larger city.; Since Septem
ber 1 the camp has had only ,127
listed , cases of drunkenness, he
explained. ;. ' X v -:
The major urged that soldiers
be treated a men "because they
are doing a man's Job." He also
suggested that they not be given
"entertainment Indigestion by
having : so many things planned
for them that they have no chance
to plan anything for themselves.

WASHINGTON, Jani 11 (P)
-President Roosevelt's nomin
ation of Edward J. Flynn, re
tiring democratic national chair
man, as minister to Australia,
touched off the first seal fire
works of the new congress Mon
day. ' , -.::. ;..
Senator Bridges (R-NH) took
the senate floor shortly after; the
appointment was announced to
term it an "insult" to the people
of Australlia. Democratic leaders
nonetheless expressed confidence
the nomination would be con
firmed.1 :-: ; f
Flynn himself wrote the senate
foreign relations committee asking
that "a fun and complete hear
ing" be held on any charges that
might be raised against! him.! He
added in a statement : that - he
welcomed an opportunity for the
committee to bring into the open
"baseless charges" mat he had
used New York City materials and
labor to pave the courtyard of his
estate. -
In addition to the post of min
ister to Australia, Mr. Roosevelt
named Flynn as his personal
representative with the ; rank of
ambassador in the southwest I Pa
cific area. He will, however,' receive-
only a minister's pay, 110,
000 a year, instead of the $17,500
salary paid to an ambassador.
The nomination, which the
democratic chieftain revealed in
a precedent-shattering an
noancement in New York last
Friday, was one of a a umber
seat to the sonata Monday. The
president named former Sen.
Prentiss M. Brown of Hlehlgaa
to be price administrator suc
ceeding Leon Henderson, and
former. Sen. Josh Lee of Okla
