(P) The superlatives market hit a new high today aa Rockefeller Clty'a music hall threw its doors open to the general public after a "first night" that last ed Into the early morning. On the world's largest stage in the largest temple of amusement of Ha kind, the most magnificent opening night audiences assembled In ft long time saw 500 entertainers perform. Notables Present. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. Alfred E. Smith, Miss Anne Morgan, Will H. Hays and hundreds of others whose names read like "Who's Who," came to see the spectacle that S. X. Itotha fel (Roxy) offered. There were many comments on the Korgeousness and spectacular beauty of the music hall itself. This was noted too by all critics, but there was only lukewarm enthusiasm in some criticisms of the performance. The Boxy ushers (whose garb had been & close secret) paraded to the stage to make their debut clad In quiet uniforms of black with sliver buttons and -white piping. Roxy, long a devotee of the spectacular, used to dress his ushers in clothes rivaling an admiral's. Seats 0,200. The great auditorium with its seven ourved celling arches telescoping into one another to give a feeling of Inti macy to the audience of 6,200, nfld 1 marvels of lighting brought endless exclamations. Tomorrow night a motion picture theater, another unit in the $250, 000,000 Rockefeller center, opens. Last night's performance, heralded by bugles, was late in starting. Be ginning at 9, It continued until after midnight, a procession of spectacle a negro choir of 110 voices, ballets, stage pictures and the comedy relief Of prominent stage stars, the list in cluding DeWolf Hopper, Weber and Fields, Ray Bolger, Dr. Rockwell, "Sis tens of the Skillet," and others. There was an orchestra of 100. Equipment Intricate. Even the mechanical equipment of ie new music temple was called up on to show off, the first number of the bill being called the "Symphony of the Curtains," Introducing the special curtain which requires 13 mo tions to operate and which opens in a variety of forms. Percy Hammond, critic of the Her-nld-Trlbune, wrote: "The show Is ex travagant and cumbersome, but it has occasional moments of beauty and alacrity." Gilbert W- Gabriel, the American: "Some of the monster festival goes slow and dull on you. . , , The huge, Incredible house itself Is really the hero of this first presentation." J. Brooks Atkinson, the Times: "Al though the opening bill is dull, It is likely that Roxy will develop an r nat type of music hall diversion bet ter suited to his tremendous palace." EASTERNELEVEN BAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 29. (AP) An epidemic of injuries has reduced the east team from the favorod spot to even terms with the west eleven for their Shrine charity contest here next Monday. Chief among eastern casualties was Harry Newman, brilliant Michigan quarterback, who watched practice trom the sidolines yeatorday and said a weakened ankle would keep him on the bench during today's scrimmage with an eleven headed by Ernie Ne ver, former Stanford fullback. Bruised shoulders bothered Gil Ber ry, Illinois halfback; Roy Horstman, Purdue fullback, and Joe HIU, Col gate guard. The westerners, confident and un scathed by Injuries, face a hard scrim mage today at Berkeley. The boya from the other side of the Mississippi do their practicing in the Stnnford stadium at Palo Alto. TALENTGROWERS 10 IE!

That would de stroy all values except consumption and production. Communism is re actionary compared to that. What officials are afraid of la that the public will not understand that phase of the matter. Advocates of the plan are apparently purposely vague In offering details as to their intentions. Some writers on the subject are trying to popularize it with mislead ing slogans. Two are: "Everyone will make 520,000 a year under Technoe racy" or "It means a 1929 income and the 414-day week." That la hooey. What they do not say Is that It could mean the destruction oi wealth, debts, stocks, bonds and prac Jcally all privately owned property, The creation of a super-state that cannot be or Is not being adequately explained Is Implied. Something may be said on this angle on the floor of the senate. Certain congressional authorities have recently gone to Roosevelt on the proposed special session of con gress after March 4. Their purpose was to get him to hold off on the session until mld Aprll. They wanted htm to get his feet on the ground before getting tangled up with congress. Some thought he ought to let the session go tintll May 15. Roosevelt took the matter, under advisement. The Wagner program for reorga nizing the R. F. C. will probably m held back like everything else until Roosevelt comes in. Few object to the program. The proposition of charging 5 to 7 per cent for relief loans when the gov ernment Is getting the money for one-half of one per cent Is In for a hot attack. The government will be accused of making usury money on that deal. The supreme court decision against entrapment of prohibition violators showed that the court reads the elec tions returns and the newspapers. Court followers think the decision augurs well for 3.2 per cent beer when it comes before the court. The decision seemed to mark a change In court opinion since the days when wire-tapping was sanctioned. F. Henry 168 N. LeMaster 108 1 DEFEATS GAELS, 19 10 la OAKLAND, Dec. 29. (P) The Uni versity of Oregon basketball team's barnstorming tour was ended today by a 19 to 15 victory over St. Mary's college here last night. Strong defensive play by both teams accounted for the low score, the Ore gon guards forcing the Gaels to take most of their shots from far out on the floor. The northerners led at half time, 8 to 7. Captain Robertson of the Webfeet, played center, scored three goals and a free throw to make seven points for individual scoring honors. Last of Caribou Will Be Saved ST. PAUL, Minn., Deo. 29.

Cal Dec. 29.-p Technocracy, the body of scientists studying economic conditions from the standpoint of energy and produc tion In the light of the machine age, came in for some criticism as did present business leadership here to day, at the annual Pacific Coast eco nomlo conference. The conference, composed of econ omists of western universities, heard Prof. Reld L. McClung of the Uni versity of California, describe tech nocracy as a -pseudo science "that lures us on to a type of fantastical society, a modern Ulopla where alt will live In a fiction cf elegance and ease." Distrust in business leadership was expressed In addresses by Prof. E. J. Brown of the University of Arizona and Prof. Arthur Coons of Occidental college. Prof. Shirley J. Coon of the Uni versity of Washington, president of the conference, in his address said the role of economist In a distressed era was "to diagnose social problems and possibly to devise remedies for existing defects." Sams Valley Quint Defeats Methodists Sams Valley defeated the South Method 1st basketball team of this city last night on their own floor, 27 to 17, before a large crowd.
