A New Symphony
A couple of weeks ago the Columbia Broad
casting company featured the first playing in
the western hemisphere of the new Eighth
Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovitch, the con
temporary Russian composer and erstwhile
fire watcher. Time magazine later said that it
had "all the usual Shostakovitch features, in
cluding special, deluxe non-collapsible cli
maxes, probably the most efficient roof-raisers
of their type known to the trade." While hardly
a review in itself, this should suffice for criti
cal comment on the music itself; Shostakovitch
has already proved in his earlier work that he
is an acquired taste.
Be that as it may, there is one purely mer
cenary point to be made in connection with the
playing of this work the fact that Columbia
paid some $10,000 for the first-performance
rights, sight-unseen, when the completed man
uscript was still a dream in the composer's
consciousness. Considering the days when Bach
composed on his regular wage as chapel organ
ist; when Mozart, no longer, a prodigy, made mu
sic practically for nothing; and when Beethoven
himself depended exclusively on the capricious
patronage of several wealthy Viennese families,
this Js indeed something of note. Even recent
composers, whose works became current in the
last forty years, have never known such bid
ding for unwritten works, and certainly no
such solid cash payments for the completed
products.
What this emphasizes again is something
that has come up Jrom time to time in connec
tion with the not infrequent bouts of John Q.
Public vs. Caesare Petrillo of the Musician's
union namely, that radio and the automatic
phonograph have, between them, popularized
mucin tn iifH an evtont trtnt this indtistrv has
never offered more attractive economic status
to its professional adherents than at the pre
sent time. Petrillo to his own satisfaction has
proved that recorded and relayed music has
kept a lot of musicians out of work; but no
fcody ever offered a composer $10,000 cash for a
first playing : until the contemporary era, and
corollary-wise, smce a new symphony must be
played by somebody, nothing ever contribut
ed to the ultimate wide employment of mu
sicians so much as the popularization of music
like Shostakovitch's (and the deathless creator
of Mairzy Doats) so much as the four-lung
receiving sets and the scratchy phonographs.
Rest easy, Petrillo; and you, Shostakovitch,
make it an even bigger and better Ninth!
ment could report, but the comparison would
doubtless be staggering. - 4 V
What is perhaps more pertinent Is to figure
the investment of every citizen of the world
who walks upon two feet in this undertaking;
Figuring the population of the globe at around
2,800,000,000 (two billion, eight hundred mil
lion) people, which may be a little bigger than
it really is, after some four years of Continental
stavation and mercy-killing in some parts of
Europe, and in Asia, the figure comes to $356
per person. That goes for the Brazilian abor
igines in the headwaters of the Amazon, for
the incredulous chieftains of native . dans who
come as part of the installed equipment of Pa
cific atolls, we capture, as well as every literate,
able American and Briton who thought in 1918
and 1919 never to have to subscribe to another
liberty loan. It
How will it be paid? For all countries who
participate, it will be a burden for this gener-,
ation and the next, and longer. Wi have this
hope that in this country our linances will be
wisely handled and that the 'world may be
spared another such expenditure in War. '
356 Per Person
The last war acquainted the country most in
timately with the million as a standard nu
merical counter for quantities, whether of shells,
men, shipping tons, or dollars.
The new, deal administration introduced the
nation to the billion in the same way, but most
ly in terms of money. Whereas by the end of
the 'twenties a million dollars was still quite
a pile, in public finance as well as private, by
1937 we were pretty well innured to having
our, change counted by the billion. "
Now this war brings us to the trillion mark,
although, happily, not in terms of the single
expenditure of our own government, or of any
other single government. Rather, according to
a New York organization known as the Tax
Institute, has this sum already been approached
in the total expenditures of all the belligerent
governments, and will probably be passed next
year if the war continues on its present scale.
A billion, obviously, is one thousand millions;
and a trillion is a thousand billions. What the
sum is in terms of silver dollars laid edge by
edge, or even stacked in a single pile, would be,
only mathematicians and the treasury depart-

The War Jlews

Mad mid-Aprtt weather over aU Europe this
weekend, set continental skies swarming with al
lied and Russian bombers night and day In ob
vious preparation for furious invasion battles, soon
to open against Qermany from east and west alike.
Even across the Pacific seasonal weather condi
tions rated high in the making of allied operation
. al plans against Japan. The approach of the wet
monsoon period in the India-Burma theatre, had
some relationship to dispositions to meet the only
Nipponese offensive move in months, the Invasion
of India across the Chindwin river. :.-
. . The monsoon rains, when they came in Assam
and northern Burma, will increase ten-fold the
supply difficulties of enemy columns . operating
scores of miles from Burmese rail or river com
munications. They will much less hamper allied
movements in eastern India, or the slow but steady
progress of the Ledo road conection with China
the Japanese thrust into Assam was designed to
Check. -
In the Pacific perimeter from New Guinea to the
. Kuriles, monsoon weather is not a factor. Here
was ample evidence that new and deeper thrusts
- into the Japanese defensive belt were impending.
In the southwest General MacArthur's bombers
were "spraying enemy bases on the New Guinea
coast as an Indicated preliminary to further ad
vance by his American-Australian ground troops.
In the central. rone Admiral Nimitz mighty air
sea force appeared grooming for new power drives
closer to the heart af Japan Itself. Tokyo rumbled
with warnings of American bombing attacks to
come.
It was In Europe, however, that the weight of
both Russian and allied air power was coming into
. its own as weather conditions improved. The mid
April -weekend saw the most sweeping and sus
tained seven days of night and day attack from
the west and the linked long range allied bombing
from bases in Italy brought to its culmination. Shat

Sen. Reed of Kansas wants to trace the let

Henry J. Kaiser's penchant for fusing the
phrase "lead time to mean the time that is

to prepare for war, in time of war to make a few;
preparations for peace is mentioned in a na

Henry J. Kaiser and others like himf the "lead
time" we had to prepare for this war would
have been tragically insufficient. j Jj

WASHINGTON, April 15 A New York col
umnist on Washington affairs, Westbrpok Pegler,
missed the bus rather critically (by this, I mean
he fell on his face) in Interpreting the advent of
Mr. Roosevelt's leading press
propagandist, Lowell Mellett, to
the newspaper columniing field.
The New York writer wrote
that the press always had pub-1
lished Mrs. Roosevelt's view-:
point in column form and he,
, therefore, defended! the, free-:
dam of the press on that
ground. Mrs. Roosevelt's col-
I J. I. S umn is sold commercially by
LiZi 11 the same syndicate which sells
rani tanoa Pegler, and apparently his un
derstanding of the whole American press is limit-'
ed to that syndicate as he frequently mentions by,
name, pro and con, writers for his syndicate, but;
has not, to my knowledge, even mentifaed others.'
Legitimate columnists came up in the newspa
pering (not the political) business. The good news-j
paperman scorns propaganda, the political pub-:
licity man lives by how much of it he can put
over on the newspaperman and the public. Never :
the twain should meet. " ,f
Mr. Mellett was Mr. Roosevelt's gbod proparf
ganda adviser for the third term campaign. At that;
time he worked from inside the White House,
traveling with the president, advising oh press re
lations and promoting same. if
When he left his position as one of Mr. Roose
velt's assistants the other day to start a; newspaper
column, with the campaign coming on, both he and
the president made it publicly clear tbit they had
not fallen out, that neither had changed his views:
or purposes, but that both thought Mellett could
do better work on the outside. The exact words;
of Mr. Mellett's resignation letter were:; ij
"I honestly believe I can be as useful doing thai
(writing a column) as I would be if : 1 .remained
in more obvious public service.' i -
This plainly seemed to me to mean Mr. Mellett
"is going to do his campaigning job inside the news
papers this time instead of inside the White House;;
and he expects the newspapers to pay fo it I think
the whole new deal publicity wing hits reached
somewhat the same decision, namely)! that their'
work has not been effective from official position
and believe they would be more effective if they
could work on the outside. it f
Some other lesser new deal publicist! have left
recently to go into the movies or into newspaper-i'
ing. They are obviously right Yu can readily see
that Elmer Davis and Robert Sherwood are prac
tically wasted in OWI adniinistratlve work, for in
stance, whereas, before, were doing the Roose
velt cause or the war cause more practical good,
Davis on the radio and Sherwood as playwright
Now, the function of American journalism is not
to circulate propaganda, but facts. Every news
man knows they must take a lot pf propaganda in
official government handouts, speeches; and such,
but at least the newspaper before never paid for it
Never In all the history of Journalism did the
press set up a system of paying its own good money
for official viewpoints until Mrs. Roosevelt, Hop
kins, Ickes, et al (the latter two mostly in mag
azines) discovered in recent years they could sell it
In full justice then, should not the'Mni. Roosevelt
. and Mellett columns be furnished free? Furthermore
Is it not necessary for the papers publishing them
j to get columns from an equal number of republican
officials, and publish these alongside the official'
campaign columns? -
In this case, Mrs. Dewey could well be circulated
by Mr. Peeler's syndicate to balance Mrs! Roosevelt,
and if Dewey has an official news propagandist, or
cares to get one, he should be writing a column
to balance Mellett but all free. s; ; ,
That would be the fairest way, the; free press
. way, the democratic way, not the delusive - way
Into which Pegler has lightwittedly faen at Mr.
-Roosevelt's invitation. That is how they did it. in
the last campaign when Charles . Michelson dis
pelled, without cost,' the fog democratically and
Carlisle Bargeron redirpelled it republicsnly.

metals without the salvage from
. the old battleship. It is reported
now that the navy Is bargaining
to buy the hull for some spe
cial purpose. If It does it will
probably pay a lot' more than
the i $35,000 it received for the
whole ship. But at least the
steel shell might really go to
war! and be of some service.
Having as governor labored
to save the battleship from the
scrapheap though willing to let
it go into service again as m
fighting or supply ship I am
disheartened at the botch which
appears to have been made of
the whole : enterprise by the
government authorities. ; Cer
tainly there was poor planning
; both as to probable need and
. time for converting the vessel
into; usable material. ' It - may
eventuate that when the war is
; over material from the Oregon
' will be offered just for junk.
It seems to me the navy and
the j war , production board - owe
an explanation to the people of
Oregon and particularly to the
Spanish - war Veterans - who "
. prized this ship, if the facts are
as stated by Edwards in his ar
ticles in the Oregonian.

varying rates, 5063 will share in
the savings. A total of 1682 will
receive the lowest rate of 1 per
cent, 1623 at 1.5 per r cent and
1812 at 2 per cent. All other cov
ered firms will pay at the normal
rate of 2.7 per cent, including
2628 " whose employment '.. experi
ence is three years or less.
Combined payrolls of j the new
firms amounted to $245,408,641
last . year, more than the entire
covered wages reported for 1939
and 1940.! Included in this group
are several shipyards and other
war plants which will have suffi
cient reserve to gain a reduced i
rate by 1945.
j Employers entitled to reduced
rates reported 1943 payrolls ag
gregating $362,241,874, more than
half of the taxable wages total
ing $715,874,982. In addition, em
ployers exempt payroll of $62,
158,118, paid to employes earn
ing -more than $3000 in one year
with one employer.
j In addition to the savings for
employers entitled to low rates,
649 firms saved $163,070 which
they would have paid in penalty
rates' if the "6 per cent ceiling"
had not been exceeded by the
employment trust fund.
I Publishers, financial houses and
utilities made the greatest savings
of any industrial groups, while
construction, lumbering and min
ing were at the' other end with
less- than half of these firms se
curing reduced rates.
The analysis disclosed 52 firms
with more than a million dollar
average annual payroll. Only two
of these were in the penalty rate
division, while 44 secured reduc
tions from the normal tax.
Of the 1100 firms with payrolls
averaging from $50,000 to $999,
000, reduced rates went to 813,
while 68 were in the penalty rate
classification.

Educators Seek to Create
Single State Fund for Schdoh
Iliminary initiative petition for a constitutional amendment
which "would essentially provide for one levy to raise approxi
mately $12,000,000 a year In state tax funds; for support of pub
lic schools of Oregon was filed here Saturday.
Supported by the Oregon State Teachers association, with Beryl
Holt of Salem as co-signer, the petition would place on the No
vember general election ballot an
amendment to the state constitu
tion creating a single state fund
for suport of common and ele
mentary schools to include all
funds now derived by state taxes
and to be in amount sufficient to
provide not less than 4$ cents per
child per day of school attend
ance, i
The measure further provides
that this fund shall be in addition
to the income from the common
school fund and that it shall be
distributed by the legislature. Un
til June 30, 1950. the legislature
would be required to distribute it
so - that $8,000,000 of the total
amount would be used to reduce
property: taxes levied in. local
school districts, with the provision
that such distribution shall not af
fect the tax base of any district.
Current state school taxes in
clude the two min levy adopted
by the last session of the legisla
ture and a $5,000,000 levy. The to
tal of the two would fall approx
imately $4,000,000 short of the 45
cents per day per shild require
ment, state department of educa
tion offices estimated Saturday.
. If the initiative ' proposal ap
pears on the November' ballot,
sponsors must file completed pe
titions with the secretary of state
by July 8. School officials said pe
titions would be in circulation in
a few days. ;
