Borah Idaho. "No attempt the veteran isolationist said, "has been made to adjust the South American loans already in default to our people. This plan would simply turn over vast amounts of the taxpayers' money for the South American politicians to play with." His statement brought immediate approval from Sen.

Scott W. Lucas, 111., who said that "everyone is familiar with the unsound, unstable conditions in South America in the last few years." Borah declared that no new foreign loans should be granted "until provision has been made to take care of those already long overdue." "I think we should, not make them any new loans except upon honest conditions, which I believe they would comply with in order to secure a loan," he said. "I think we can dictate what would be a reasonable formula for settlement of their obligations, and that we should dQ.it." Borah declared. WASHINGTON, June 24 President Roosevelt and his legislative spokesmen planned today to proceed immediately with pump- priming $3,860,000,000 lending program in another attempt to increase business activity and raise the national income.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This week's Brass Ring and one free ride on The Washington Merry-Go-Round to Philippine High Commissioner Paul Vories McNutt, who loves a good ride). WASHINGTON If there is an American Legion parade in Indianapolis, or any kind of parade anywhere, Paul V. McNutt is sure to be the first man in the parade. Therefore it was not unnatural for McNutt to be the first among the motley crew of Democrats now plodding toward 1940 to make it absolutely clear that he was a candidate for president of the United States. He has never deviated from that goal since.

McNutt's return from the Philippines this week is part of a campaign which began two years ago in one of the most bizarre political rallies ever staged in sophisticated Washington. McNUtt gave a cocktail party. To it were invited all who counted politically, and a lot who didn't. More than 3,000 people crowded the dining-room and lobbies of the Mayflower drinking McNutt tea or sipping McNutt Martinis. A lot came to scoff, some out of pure curiosity.

Of doubtful political value, the party did one thing. It put McNutt emphatically in the Democratic political parade for 1940. Since then he has been wise enough to keep the Pacific ocean between him and the internecine warfare of the Democratic party. The "purge" never bothered him. He has'also been wise enough not to stay too long in the Philippines, only to return and find the cards stacked against him.

McNutt has carefully timed himself to get home one year before next year's convention, with twelve on Page 1, Sec, 2) Garner Predicts Lower Exemptions WASHINGTON. June 24 Vice President John N.

Daredevil Girl To Perform Here At July 4th Show An exhibition of skill by Miss Jammie Graves, top aerialist in the field of suicidal endeavor, will highlight the star- studded July 4th stadium show, according to Clayton Jenkins, executive secretary of the celebration committee. Performing on a slender tower 115 feet in mid-air. Miss Graves runs through her routine of "working the pole" and doing many other hazardous feats. Her act is culminated with a six hundred foot teeth slide for life. Increasing the thrill of the per- f-rmance, and decreasing her chances for life in case of the merest slip-up.

Miss Graves performs her death-courting feat without the circus net ordinarily used by trapeze and high wire workers in tent shows. By PROF. LeROY ROBERTSON Provo has again earned for self an enviable reputation. Just before boarding the train for San Francisco, Peri Roth remarked that the tabernacle in Provo is one of the two finest auditoriums he and his quartet have ever played in anywhere, and that the festival audiences in Provo were the finest they had ever played to in the United States. Mr.

Roth is a sophisticated and an exacting critic, and I have never heard him give a compliment unless it was highly merited. Personally, I have never been so proud of nay own people as I was at these concerts. One would have thought that ly trained musicians judging, from tiie various parts of the programs on which appreciation was centered. For instance, Friday night the third movement of the Brahms quartet was enjoyed by the audience more than any other part of this quartet. It just happens that in this particular type of a movement in which there is a certain subdued melancholy, Brahms makes his most original contribution to music.

The series was a financial and artistic venture on the part of the university, the community and the quartet. It is to sincerely hoped that this series may be repeated in the future because there is no more sure way of learning music and enjoying it at its source daring and! than with the quartet. From a financial point of view it will be impossible to perpetuate this festival unless we can hold and augment all our local support and acquire additional support from the outside. Fortunately, the fine, artistic impression made upon the quartet and other visitors will help considerably, it is believed, in gaining financial support from the outside.
