Keemle) New York UE Ignace Jan Paderewski, the 78-year-old Polish pianist who is by now almost a legendary figure, started his 20th concert tour of the United States a week ago Sunday over the radio.

When it was still the Nineteenth century and radio was not even dreamed of, Paderewski was well-embarked on the career which made his name a byword in every city, town and village of America. "Paderewski" was synonymous with There was no radio to spread his fame but In communities where he did not appear, It was known through the public prints and by word of mouth. Although he made his most recent tour six years ago, there is a large group of the younger gen-eoition which has never heard Paderewski. They made his acquaintance on the broadcast, when he played over the National Broadcasting Company network from New York. An invited "physical" audience of 1,450 was present in the large studio in Radio City, but many others will see and hear him on the tour, which STEVENS POINT STRIKERS' TOLD THEIR JOBS LOST Stevens Point, Wis.

0P) Workmen who walked out at the Lullabye Furniture Corporation plant last Wednesday reported for work this morning and were told by Alex Bukholt, plant superintendent, that they were no longer employes as they had lost their jobs by going on strike in violation of a union contract. The plant remains closed. The which the union declared was not a strike but a protest, resulted from a labor dispute arising over the layoff of a group of men while a conveyor was being installed in the finishing department.

Oshkosh super intendent of schools, who returned Friday from Cleveland, where he attended the national conven tion of school administrators, will report events of that meeting to members of the faculty of the Oshkosh State Teachers College Training school this afternoon, and will review the Cleveland pro gram again Wednesday in a talk to the Oshkosh school principals and the seventh and eighth grade teachers. OFFICERS FOR '391 Two Rivers, Wis. UP) The Commercial Fishermen's association yesterday elected Frank Le Clair of Two Rivers to succeed Henry Raatz, Sheboygan, as president. Joseph Bassler, Port Washington, was named vice president, and Everette La Fond, Two Rivers, secretary-treasurer.

The association, La Fond announced, would sponsor a bill in the legislature to take away the Wisconsin conservation commission's right to make laws for outlying waters. PRES. ROOSEVELT TO RENEW FIGHT FOR RELIEF GASH (Continued From Pace 1) houses, congress has evinced no indication to reverse itself and provide the additional funds. Mr. Roosevelt contends that a relief emergency exists, and that under the $725,000,000 appropriation drastic reductions will have to be made in relief rolls after April 1.

WPA rolls currently total about 3,000,000, and WPA officials estimate that approximately persons will have to be dropped after April 1, unless the new funds are granted. A provision of the deficiency appropria tion specifically forbids cuts totaling more than 5 per cent before April 1. The president conferred with legislative leaders for an hour and a half. LABOR PARLEY NEXT Representatives of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations will meet with the president and Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins at the White House tomorrow in response to a summons to negotiate for labor peace. A successor to Associate Justice Louis D.

Brandeis, who retired from the supreme court last month, may be named this week. The senate interstate commerce committee shortly was expected to jar the White House with an adverse report on the nomination of former Rep. Thomas R. Amlie, lame duck Wisconsin Progressive, to the interstate commerce commission. House action in appropriating direct to Administrator Elmer F.

Andrews funds for the wage-hour division of the labor department had raised a rumpus inside the New Deal because some persons interpreted that action as a slap at Secretary Perkins. The renomi-nation of Donald Wakefield Smith to the national labor relations board appeared to be stymied by well-organized senate opposition, although he probably will continue a member of the board until this session of congress ends. Piling up for congressional attention were blistering problems, including farm relief, continued authorization for dollar devaluation, increase in the national debt limit, railroad legislation, the re lief appropriation for the next fis cal year, and amendment of the national labor relations act. SEE NO REDUCTIONS The economy battle almost may be reduced to a dispute over re lief and related emergency spend ing as there is small prospect that congress will materially reduce agriculture, national defense or appropriations for the operation of the regular departments of government. Tax reform will be toward eliminating what remains of the corporate surplus tax and the amendment of the capital gams tax, both of which are held to be deterrents to business.

Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. over the weekend announced hf was sending all available tax data to congress. WITTENBERG, DREWS FACE YEAR TERMS (Continued From Tajfc 1) Drews. O'Boyle denied, however, that any arrangement for leniency had been made between Wittenberg and the district attorney's office. Judge Schinz replied sharply that Wittenberg's relationship with Dr.

Trump could not conceivable have been that of attorney and client. The court described the situation as an "open and shut case of blackmail" in which Drews and Wittenberg demanded $2,000 from Trump for the suppression of evi dence that Trump allegedly had agreed to perform illegal abor tions upon two women employee. by Drews. MAY BE DISBARRED Possibility that Wittenberg will be disbarred was seen in the fact that the Milwaukee Bar association was investigating complaints against him at the time of his ar rest, according to Francis J. Hart, chairman of the associations grievance committee.

Hart said the committee had recommended Wittenberg's disbarment and a hearing on it was to have been held on the day the attorney was arrested. Drews was suspended by the state board of health at the time of his arrest Dr. Stephen Cahana, vice president of the board, said, however, that he will not be replaced until his sentence becomes effective or the possibility of an appeal to the supreme court has been exhausted. Dr. Henry Gramling, chairman of the state board of medical examiners, indicated also that inquiry would be made into Dr.

Trump's activities. Trump's license to practice was restored after he had been deprived of it temporarily once before. SUE FOR PEACE IF LIVESJiRE SPARED (Continued From Page I) said Wednesday that Martinez Barrio, who is in Paris, had assumed the post but he declared he would not accept it. Martinez Barrio said he often had told Azana after Spanish na tionalist conquest of Catalonia had forced them from Barcelona, that Miaja, "defender of Madrid" could make peace with Franco. "I must tell you," he added in an interview, "that we are com pletely in agreement, those who have just revolted against Negrin and to end the war.

Now I can tell you publicly that the permanent committee of the cortes met March 3. It decided to send a note to Negrin. This note said I would not accept the presidency of the republic unless there were an agreement with the cortes and with the permanent committee. DICKER FOR TERMS "The permanent committee also sent him a note signed by all its members Ir. which it declared it was disposed to collaborate in the political work he was undertaking only If it were exclusively directed toward liquidating the Spanish situation with the least damage and as few sacrifices as possible." A radio broadcast from Madrid said Negrin had accepted his cabinet's overthrow by a six-man 'defense council," thus legalizing the coup by which power was seized in Madrid.

Despite the pledge of the "de fense council" to continue resistance, informed quarters declared it would sue for peace. Some quarters expressed belief that peace talks might already have been started. They based this on a radio speech by General Scgismundo Casado, leader of the uprising against Negrin, in which he declared to the nationalists that his followers "wish for peace" if a "real peace" were offered. NEGRIN STANDS GROUND Negrin and his ministers were reported under arrest by republican troops. They consistently had demanded a fight to the finish un less Generalissimo Francisco Fran co agreed to full amnesty for republican leaders.

Part of Casado broadcast was addressed to "Spaniards on the other side." It appealed to them to join the new republican rulers to help eject "invaders" foreign fig liters. "Spain wants peace," Casado proclaimed. "It is op to you to help her secure it. If you offer us real peace, an independent peace, we shall be glad to meet you. Otherwise we shall fight on.

The question is either peace or fight until death." The Madrid radio said Negrin had telegraphed his government's formal resignation to Barrio. At the same time, dispatches from Madrid said troops had been assigned to guard the homes "of several political personalities opposed" to the council. This was believed to have included Negrin and his and to mean that they were under arrest. NAVAL BATTLE IMMINENT Madrid (U.R) The new Madrid defense council announced officially today receipt of a message from the republican war fleet somewhere in the Mediterranean pledging its unconditional support. Eleven warships put out from Cartagena on Sunday in opposition to the regime of Premier Juan Negrin, who was later overthrown.

Negrin's appointment of Francisco Galan, a communist, as commander of 'the Cartagena naval base touched off the revolt. The naval craft cruised off the north African coast this morning and sent a message to the new Madrid regime saying that it would unfailingly support "those who have shown how to stand up against Negrin's anti-Spanish policy." (Reports from nationalist Spain said Gen, Francisco Franco had ordered nationalist warships from Palma and Barcelona to find and attack the republican vessels.) MUST SURRENDER OR (By Manuel Casares, United Press Staff Correspondent) Burgos, Spain (U.R) The nationalist radio today warned republican Spain that all persons attempting to continue resistance would be "inexorably punished." Forecasting a quick end to the civil war as a result of the over throw of the "red" government of Premier Juan Negrin in republican Spain, spokesman for National ist Gen. Francisco franco Droaa cast a promise to enemy territory that those who surrendered wan out further fiEhting would be treated with justice. But at the same time, the broad-coster told the republicans that only a few days could be permitted for surrender. Franco's armies are ready to strike with renewed force if republican Spain does not capitulate, the radio message said Rebib Arrumi.

one of na tionalist Spain's leading war cor respondents, broadcast the warn' ing to republicans. "Yesterday Minorca, today Car tagena and tomorrow other pieces of territory join our cause," he said. "The generosity which Franco once more offers the red zone will have a limit for there can be no pardon for those who commit new outrages or are responsible for further bloodshed. "Spain calls you and will re ceive you piously and indulgently. But those who refuse to hear our call and wish still to show their spite against us for defense less reasons will be Inexorably punished." The broadcasts were intended for listeners in republican Spain, especially at Cartagena where na tionalists claimed an uprising still was in progress.

The earlier concert was "jinxed." Rosa Ponselle was originally scheduled to appear but illness forced her to cancel and Miss Bampton agreed to substitute. On the way to the hall, she caught a chill in the taxicab and a throat condition obliged her to stop at the intermission. Yehudi Mcnuhin, violinist, has gone to Europe for appear ances in 20 cities. He will return late in May to pass the summer at his California ranch, resting for his second around-the-world tour which will include America, Europe, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and way points. Maurice Eisenbcrg, American 'cellist who is better known in Europe than in his own country, is back alter 15 years abroad.

He made his second New York recital in Town Hall last week. Eisenberg was "discovered" by Leopold Stokowski, playing 'cello solos in a Baltimore night club, and put him in the 'cello section of the Philadelphia Orchestra when he was 15, the youngest musician ever to play with that orchestra. Emerson Whithorne's second symphony, which Arturo Tosea-nini announced as a novelty for his final season with the New York Philharmonic-S three years ago, but did not perform, has just had its British premiere in London under Basil Cameron and the British Broadcasting Company's symphony orchestra. The work had its world premiere under Eugene Goossens with the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra in 1937. Whithorne is a native of Cleveland.

Tokio reports that the wave of nationalism which Japan is experiencing as a result of the China war has brought three ancient Japanese instruments back into popularity. Once again, the weird, minor-keyed sighing of the "shakuhachi," classical Japanese flute of bamboo, can be heard in the streets and in homes. The "samisen," three-stringed banjo played with a pick resembling a flattened-out shoehorn, is being taken up by classes of people other than theatrical folk and the Geisha, with whom the instrument is traditionally associated. And the "koto," that bizarre contraption which foreigners in Tokio, for lack of a better translation, call the "Japanese piano," has been receiving a share of attention disproportionate to its long established position as a museum piece. Japanese music is mostly written in a five-tone scale.

There are songs of sadness, minor-keyed and rich with quarter tones, religious chants more solemn, perhaps, than the Gregorian intimately connected with the nature worship of the Shinto faith, folk songs, dances, songs of bravery on a distant battlefield or the universal lament of a broken heart. Japanese are a music loving people, as is indicated by the fact that there were more Beethoven records sold in Japan in one year than anywhere else in the world during the same period. The New York Metropolitan Opera opens the 16th and final week of its season this evening. Subsequently there will be the previously announced tour of the country, extending as far west and south as Dallas and New Orleans, and finally some presentations at the New York World's fair. Musical patronage in Philadelphia steps out this month with a series of four recitals in the private homes of the elite by the Curtis String Quartet, an interlude in a countrywide tour by the organization.

The exclusive "society" evenings will be in the homes of social registerites in Philadelphia and the nearby countryside. 0 it ft A When the Oshkosh All Stars and Sheboygan Redskins, professional basketball teams, meet in an exhibition game here Wednesday evening at the Merrill Junior High school gymnasium, the teams will have three members each from the recent Wisconsin and Marquette university teamr. Manager Lonnie Darling of the All Stars announced at noon today that he had completed arrangements with Byron Bell, Dave Du- pee and Bob Weigandt of this year Badgers to play with the Stars in games Tuesday at Wau- pun and Wednesday in Oshkosh. The Wisconsin cagers will be used in other games also to try them out for next season. They will not be eligible for the league play off games between Oshkosh and Akron, Firestones.

Weigandt is an Oshkosh product. He will be assigned to guard Rube Lautenschlager, a former Oshkosh State Teachers college eager, who is a forward with Sheboygan. Both reside on the West Side of Oshkosh and the duel between them will be watched with interest. Sheboygan recently added Graf, Quabius, and Adams to its lineup from the 1938-39 Marquette squad.

MAIN THOROUGHFARES IN COUNTY ARE OPEN IN SPITE OF STORM According to the highway de partment office, traffic moved to day over all main roads the county, but isolated instances remained where town roads were blocked by snow which fell over the weekend.

The state and federal roads were kept open without interruption, it was reported, although in many places the plows had to cut through deep drifts. The state and federal roads were sufficiently clear by today, however, to permit the use of the county's snow fighting equipment on the town roads.

Kuester versus Philip K. Van- derhiden, both residents of Me- nasha. In the original suit Kues ter sued Vanderhiden for $100 nllpsinc the latter's dog had caused John Kuester to fall and break an arm. Justice Kay Fink decided the case in favor of the defendant and ordered the nlaintiff to nav costs of $8.80 Kuester appealed, then decided to riron the matter. He was repre sented by Atty.

Silas L. Spengler. Atty. George Stine represented the 'defendant. Dist.

Atty. Lewis C. Magnusen returned to his desk at the courthouse this morning following a two-week's trip to Florida. Deeply tanned from the Florida sun, the district attorney reported excellent weather at the southern resort. He said Miami, where he and Mrs.

Magnusen made their headquarters during their stay, was crowded to capacity and that hotel accommodations were available only for those who had made reservations in advance. They motored to Miami, over excellent concrete roads going south by way of Nashville and Chattanooga and returning approximately the same route. One of the interesting diversions reported by Mr. Magnusen was witnessing a game of jai alai, said to be the fastest game in the world. Gambling flourishes to such an extent in Florida that pari-mutuels are operated even for the jai alai games, he said.

State and municipal governments raise a substantial revenue from legalized gambling, the district attorney observed, mentior.ing that on a single admission ticket to Hia-leah track, the government collects 75 cents tax. Bets on the races at this famous track average $175,000 a race, with six races held daily.

The committee opened study of military outlays expected to total $2,000,000,000.

Finance Minister Sotaro Isha wata was asked: "Is Japan for mulating her budgets with an eye to the military preparations of the soviet union?" The minister replied: "The new situation of the soviet union is is being taken into consideration." (Domei, Japanese news agency reported yesterday 15 Russians were killed or wounded Saturday on the Manchukuo-Siberian bor der, near Manchuli, scene of re current clashes in recent weeks.)

Madrid V- A "big six" defense council dedicated to -an "honorable peace or a fight to the death" replaced today after a bloodless coupe to the regime of Premier Juan Negrin, who had held out for "resistance to the end" in the Spanish civil war. (A dispatch from Hcndaye, on the French-Spanish border, said the probable effect of the new administration on continuation of the conflict was not apparent immediately, but that frontier observers believed the new council favored surrender to the nationalists despite a proclamation of further resistance.) Gen. Segismundo Casado, the military governor of Madrid, seized power in a swift move. He broadcast that "the die is cast.

We shall all save ourselves or sink together. Our struggle will not end until independence is assured." CITY BEWILDERED Madrid was calm but somewhat bewildered by the rapidity of developments. A manifesto indicated Negrin had been prevented from leaving Spain, but it was not known where he and his daughters were. Julian Besteiro, a council member, in an address said: "There is no disorder. The army stands firm and holds the solution in its hands.

Representatives of left-wing republicans, socialists and U. G. T. and C. N.

T. (labor unions) stand with me, ready to render assistance." General Casado early today telephoned Gen. Jose Miaja, republican commander of air, land and sea forces In central Spain the one-fourth of continental Spain not yet conquered by Nationalist Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Afterwards Casado said "We shall receive Miaja with embracing arms" and added that Miaja had told him he was joining the national defense movement and was starting immediately for Madrid, from some place in the central zone. UPRISING QUELLED The revolt against Negrin began Saturday at Cartagena, the republican naval base, when a group of officers and soldiers attempted to capture the city.

The uprising, an announcement by the Negrin government said, was "promptly and completely quelled," with the fleet remaining loyal. (Advices from Burgos, nationalist capital, said, however, that nationalist sympathizers gradually were taking over Cartagena.) (Five Diane-loads of officers fleeing Cartagena landed in French Algieria, where French authorities arrested and disarmed them. The Spanish officers said only that revolt had broken out against republican authorities and that the fleet had put to sea for an unknown destination.) iGeneral Casado told the Associated Press the Cartagena revolt was not a fascist one, but directed mainly against Negrin. "HANDFUL OF MEN" A manifesto immediately after the defense council took control scathingly referred to the Negrin cabinet as a "handful of men in whom no one had confidence any longer." It indicated members of the government had been using their position to cloak their preparations for flight. Soma people believed the sudden turn of events would mean peace negotiations or an early resumption of Franco's offensive.

The nationalist troops were reported concentrated near Valencia and Madrid. 'The well-known Anarchist Commander Cipriano Mera, a former plasterer who rose to command the people's army, in a radio speech called Negrin's attitude "treacherous and criminal" and said his policy was "aimed exclusively at making a booty of national treasures and attempting to escape while the people were left handcuffed at the front before the enemy." "DONE ALL THREE" "He continued: "It is imperative to oppose one who robs, sells or betrays his own country, and Negrin has certainly done all three." Mera, who addressed himself to "antifascist workers and dignified Spaniards," said the Catalonia defeat in January suffered by the republicans was "besides being lamentable, quite inexplicable until I am convinced it was due to the treason of some men who prepared to sell for gold the generous blood of the Spanish pe6ple." HOMER MARTIN FACTION BANS COMMUNIST HEADS Detroit W) The United Automobile Workers faction led by President Homer Martin, now in convention, adopted an amend' ment to its constitution today to forbid the election as officers of members affiliated with the Com munist party or nazl or fascist organizations. Martin has accused his opponents on the C. I. U.

A. W. A. executive board of being "under the influence of communists." Pending resolutions would alter the union's name and set up machinery to push organization in the aircraft industry. Another constitutional amend ment was adopted limiting the of ficers to the president, one vice president and a secretary-treasurer, and reducing the number of executive board members from 24 to 13..

Formerly there were vice Washington. (P) Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, renewed today the navy's effort to obtain congressional authority for a $5,000,000 improvement program on the tiny island of Guam, 1,400 miles from Tokio. Despite a previous assertion of Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, chairman of the senate naval committee, that the Guam proposal should be dropped for the time being because some critics considered it a war threat toward' Japan, Leahy told the senate committee: "The opposition has In general been based on the assumption that what is really intended is the fortification of Guam so as to make it an important and strongly-defended naval base for airplanes and submarines. VALUE TO AIRLINES "This is not the case; the only, improvements contemplated at the present time are the building of a breakwater and dredging to improve the seaplane takeoff area and minor preparations for handling planes." The naval official said a authorization for improving airplane facilities at Guam would be of great value to existing American commercial airlines as well as to the operation of any naval patrol planes that might be in the Guam area.

Leahy declared the island's strategic position made it of inestimable value as a possible defense base which would act as a strong deterrent "to any foreign power contemplating a hostile move towards the Hawaiian islands or continental United States."
