CHURCH AND CONCERT LaSka TRENDS OF THE TIMES The Ways and Means committee of ths House of Representatives, the old story goes, was compiling a new tariff law. An election had been won. The men for whose profit tariffs were levied had contributed handsomely to the party funds. New tariffs were to be their reward.

The spokesmen for one interest and then another had been heard. Yet higher tariffs, allowing higher prices, for steel and sugar, for stockings and soap, for shoes and textiles must be allowed. The committee heard them gladly and wrote the rates accordingly (this tariff pie-passing was long ago, no later than 1930, to be exact).

MlAi DAILY NEWS TOWER SAN FRANCISCO M4 RUSS BLDG. To tha Editor of Tha new. i Is Dayton so unimportant frt the musical world that it must take without question what is cast its way, or is it sheer neglsot on the part of those doing the booking? I refer to the scheduled date of Feb. 11 chosan by the Civic Concert Series for a recital by ths eminent organist, E. Power Biggs.

That Feb. 11, happens to be Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday, as well as all Wednesdays in Lent, is traditionally reserved for attending church services. In our Lutheran church, as in many Protestant churches, these services are held in the evening. Our country is trying hard to show disrespect to our Creator and the Protector of our nation; this is but one instance of that disrespect.

Let us hope that in making future bookings all organizations (musical, athletic, etc.) will consult a religious calendar before set-ting a date. Dayton. BERTHA E. WEIST.

"I have worn upon tha altar ot God eternal hoitlltty against every form ot tyranny over the mind ot man." Thomae Jeffenon. There was a stir in the committee room. A man arose in the audience and said he, too, would like to be heard. What special interest, the chairman demanded, did he represent? He wanted to speak, the stranger said, not for any special interest, but for the common people who would pay the higher prices these higher tariffs would produce. The chairman called him out of order and hs wag ejected from the room.

(This story has been questioned as the invention of some cynical journalist expressing the spirit, rather than the letter, of the tariff-making there. That could be true.) HEAVEN what ig heawn but the fellowship Of minds that eaeh can stand against the world By its own meek and incorruptible will! Emerson. Meaning Of The Markets When a man is suffering from pneumonia and his fever mounts up and up and then breaks, his physician knows that he has passed the "crisis." When a nation is suffering from inflation and prices mount up and up and then break, its economists are not yet sufficiently skilled to know whether or not the break is the turning point in the malady or is merely a minor incident, In the last two days, grain prices in America have taken a severe licking. Pi- 1 1 1 A 1 The Senate Banking committee is holding hearings on inflation. The experts with their figures havs been heard.

The special interests served by inflation have put in their defense. Ths politicians have done their special pleading. By billions of dollars and millions of people the statistics havs been displayed. There is a stir in the audience. A man and his wife and two of their six children take the witness stand.

They come as a living document to tell what inflation has done to one human family. utunw WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Eccles' Battle With The Gianninis Also, Eccles feels that the Reserve board has a stake in this latest Giannini move, since the new banks would be national bank branches, and thus automatically become part of the Federal Reserve system, if approved, i CIVIC MOVES To the Editor of The New: My son and his wife visited us last July, driving here from Illinois. Crossing the Third st. bridge, he comment- on it deplorable condition, saying: not London bridge that's falling down, udt the Dayton bridges. It's hard to believe that such conditions exist in my old home town, th Gam City." Why not spend the taxpayers' money tot essentials rather than "play checkers" move this and move that? What eomea next in the dismantling of Dayton Newcom tavern? Lovers of Dayton should take a hand in this game and beat to the king row those who favor such moves.

Now is th wrong time to throw our money away on such needless and senseless things as $80,000 to $100,000 to move the Soldiers' monument. It has always proved a safeguard as to accidents. As for speeding up traffic, probably if we slowed down a little there wouldn't so many heart failures. Then there's the matter of housing for our returned veterans. We may need their services again, and they wouldn't be human if they didn't recall their return reception.

Anything but gratitude was awarded them. Col. Deeds deserves credit for his plan foi an arena, as does the University of Dayton. These projects will suffice in a measur keep down the heavy burden we taxpayer have to assume for needless expenditures. Why don't the so-called "progressives" move to a city of their choice Our country is large, but they might run up against other treasured historical spots, as there ar a lot of clear thinkers in this good old United States, who realize true and intrinsic values.

Devoid of sentiment, the world would be all chaos. Dayton. MRS. C. E.

DOWDELL. Cyrus J. Waud, worker in a soap factory, his wife and two of his six children show what is happening to them on a take-home pay of $2500 a year (that would have been wealth unbelievable before inflation struck at them). Now inflation meant meat once a week, the cheapest meat at that. With milk at near a dollar a gallon the children can have only half the milk they need.

They are lucky at having but $32 a month to pay for rent a low-rent government project. They can see no movies. They have no coffee or tea, no ear. They owe $300 to the doctors. They need dental care for which they cannot pay.

BY DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. Ths mystery of who killed "Cock Robin" Marriner Eccles slowly begins to unravel. It now looks as if A. P.

Giannini, the West Coast banking tycoon, fired the fatal shot. Friends of say that when he got word Marriner Eccles was out as chairman of the Federal Reserve board, he put his large thumbs in the large armholes of his large vest and boasted, "Well, I did it." The reason for Giannini's hostility to the man who kept the American banking system on an even keel all during the war is well known in banking circles. Eccles, who comes from Utah and whose father owned several banks of his own, long has opposed what he described as ths "banking octopus of the West Coast" the Giannini chain. To eom-bat this "octopus," Eccles last year helped draft a new bank holding company bill which Sen. Tobey of New Hampshire introduced and which was approved by the Senate Banking and Currency committee.

tation of our peoples toward perpetual collaboration" Was he free of all doubts as he listened to Molotov denounce "the incendiaries of a new war from the imperialist camp" who are "making efforts to form military and political blocs directed against the democratic Did he regard Molotov as a good authority to whom to entrust the definition of If he did, he has a surprise awaiting him when he returns to Bucharest. For. there he will read the American diplomatic protest against the undemocratic methods practiced by his own government, methods amounting, in the words of the note, to "all manner of chicanery and extreme physical violence employed to reduce the legitimate political activity of any elements not subservient to the controlling minority." Did this puppet, who is not a Communist but who has been, to date, a willing tool and fellow-traveler, really enjoy his trip to Moscow? It would be illuminating to know. Orville Wright's Will The will of Orville Wright turns out to be the perfect measure of the man, a reflection of the philanthrophy of his spirit, of the catholicity of his interests, and, most of all, of his simple loyalty to human beings with whom he had worked or who had served him. The bequest of $300,000 to Oberlin college was hedged only by terms which would apply a portion of the income, during their lifetimes, to certain relatives, friends and servants.

There were grants to Berea college (Orville Wright, while living, had made a gift of $40,000 to Earlham college) and to the Dayton Art Institute. There was careful attention to the distribution of aviation memorabilia. Most Americans will be sorry, at least at first blush, that Orville Wright apparently never wrote the letter that, according to the terms of the will, would have brought the "Kifctyhawk" home to a resting place in the United States. What happened here or rather what did not happen, and why it did not happen may never be known. It was in all dignity and rectitude that Orville Wright lent the plane to the South Kensington Science museum at a time when officials of the Smithsonian Institution were perversely insisting on giving false priority to the Langley plane.

He was correct in refusing to relax his stand until the attitude of the Smithsonian changed. At the time the will was written, the Smithsonian was adamant. In 1943, however, the director of the institution, Dr. Charles G. Abbott, made a manful public apology, and shortly afterward Orville Wright expressed the intention of having the plane returned.

The actual return was delayed by the war. Now, unless a letter is found that would come under the terms of the will, the plane remains on assignment to the South Kensington museum. Did something happen to make Orville Wright change his mind Or was this just one of the things that men intend to do but somehow do not get around to putting on paper before death overtakes them If it could be established, on indisputable authority, that it was Orville Wright's continuing, though unwritten, intention that the "Kittyhawk" should be brought back to the United States, the South Kensington museum might well consider the desirability of voluntarily relinquishing ths plane. If there is reason to believe that Orville Wright actually intended, at the end, that the plane remain in England, then his wishes should be respected. If there is reasonable doubt, the terms of the will should govern, at least for the present.

In one sense, indeed, a continuation of the present situation might have a happy symbolism. The airplane which the Wrights gave to mankind has drawn the world together in geography. It is now up to mankind to draw the world together in spirit. The "Kittyhawk" in England might emphasize the paling of pure nationalism and the growth, at least in the English-speaking area, of a new sense of community. Those Who Can't Take It The suicides of Gens.

Blaskowitz and Stuelpnagel just before their trial for war crimes emphasizes a trait which has appeared in so many Germans since they lost the war that it suggests a pattern of national behavior. Perhaps it is not exclusively a pattern of German behavior, but one that encompasses all bullies. Its main lines are this: In success the Germans are intolerable swaggerers; in adversity they are crybabies. Naturally, this is a generalization which could not fairly be applied to every member of the Teutonic race. Some Germans are contrite, some are working hard and uncomplainingly at the job of reconstruction, some are sincerely trying to learn the ways of democracy, and a few have even tried to make active restitution to the victims of the Nazi tyranny over Europe.

But it is worth noting that Goering, who typified the Nazi street-brawler; Himmler, who typified the German bureaucrat, and now Blaskowitz and Stuelpnagel, who typified the Prussian officer, all chose to make their exits as sissies. The hunger strikes in the Rhineland and Bavaria, where the occupying powers are blamed for the sins of the German black marketeers, would seem to fit into the crybaby pattern. So would the swelling outcry against the denazification policy, an outcry joined by supposedly so noble and stoical a figure as Pastor Niemoeller. nanciai snares in me swick marnei nave gone down, too, though not so precipitately. What does it all mean? When there was a break on the stock market about a year ago, one of the smartest university economists in the country proclaimed: "We are now in the recession." Some others echoed him, a few said we were on the threshold of depression.

Actually, as events proved, we were living through a minor "shaking down," an insigificant "rectification." Demand held, quotations recovered and then advanced, prices went on and up until in recent months we have seemed to invade the very anteroom of wild inflation. Can anyone make an analysis of the present market break with less danger of having events list him among the false prophets? If he can, he is smarter than the general run of men who make economic analysis their business. All that can be said is, perhaps, that supply is overtaking demand in some areas of the economy, that consumers are beginning to resist high prices in certain other areas, that backlog savings of individuals have been steadily eroded, and that Naturally, this was not forgotten by the two bankers. It also happens that these tww financiers have been potent backers of the Democratic party on the West Coast. Their financial influence in party circles is not to be sneezed at.

And it was the question of campaign contributions to the Democratic party which finally tilted the scales against Marriner Eccles. Sam Husbands, ex-vice president of the Trans-America is credited with doing part of the Eccles meat-axing. Husbands, a former member of the RFC, is a close buddy of Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder. Just how much John Snyder had to do with It isn't known. Truman swore that John was not guilty which may have meant that John was only acting as messenger boy for the powerful Gianninis.

NOTE In the end, the Gianninis won only half their battle. They didn't figure that Eccles would take the embarrassment of being demoted as shairman and still continue on the board. Actually, Eccles will still control the balance of votes on the board, so the Gianninis' battle is a long way from won Tn Qoti Trihoi' ia nmir tv, nru Clothes! It takes all they have to clothe the children at the prices inflation makes. There is no carfare for the children. They must walk to school.

They are "just existing, not living," the father said. This testimony in behalf of the common people is heard by the senators with sympathy. So times have changed since tariffs passed the pork. A Cyrus Waud and his wifs and six children are not out of order when they ask to speak. One senator, indeed, made one of the children happy with a gift.

Yea, charity is sweet, but it never mads wrong right. Will the senators see to it that the force, the inflation, which reduced this industrious family to poverty no longer preys on them? The senators who voted for this inflation see in this family the fell work their hands have done. Will they be appropriately repentant, quick to right the wrong? determined than ever to pass the new bank holding company bill. This brought storms of protest from the Gianninis. Eccles, however, was not discouraged.

He accused the Gianninis of trying to monopolize West Coast banking. He told senators that 40 per cent of all banking offices and 38 per cent of all the commercial deposits in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington belonged to the Gianninis. He pointed to 41 banks in the Trans-America group operating the huge total of 619 banking offices, with aggregate deposits of more than $6,500,000,000. And he demanded of the Senate that this financial stranglehold be broken. Even manufacturing firms, ranches, shipping and retail business on the West Coast are beholden to the Gianninis, Eccles claimed.

He argued that this is too much power to put in the hands of only two men. Eccles also has frowned on the approval of Giannini applications for the opening of between 15 and 20 new branch banks in Cal-fornia, now pending before Comptroller of the Currency Preston Delano. Though Eocles has no direct jurisdiction over the applications, he has informed Delano unofficially that the Federal Reserve board feels that further Giannini expansion would be unfair to independent bank competitors. Strict newspaper eensorship has been placed on all information about the tests of new atomic weapons on Eniwetok island. Newsmen can't even report the dates when certain weapons were tested for fear enemy scientists will be able to figure out the new weapon by studying air masses from the Pacific bases as they pass over their own land The U.

S. has virtually broken relations with the military and naval attaches of all nations behind the iron curtain except one Czechoslovakia. Representatives from Russia, Poland and Yugoslavia are still admitted to this country only Czechoslo-valdan attaches are still invited to military functions. Life nowadays is complicated, hard to understand. Life is engineering, mathematics, machinery, corporations, chemistry, labor unions, parties, physics, finance, pressure groups, Congresses.

Life nowadays is simple as of old. The Waud family, working hard, has not enough to eat. It lacks clothing, health and happiness. It is "just existing." Simple enough to be clear to a senator! NOTES ON THE WRIGHTS To the Editor of Tha New: On the passing of Orville Wright, Dayton's most distinguished citizen and one oi the greatest scientists and discoverers of all time, it is interesting to recall that hi great-great-grandfather, John Van Clev, was killed by the Indians on June 1, 1791, in the heart of what is now Cincinnati, and that his great-great-grandmother after her marriage to Samuel Thompson, arrived her with the first settlers of Dayton on April 1, 1796. While Orville Wright always declined speak in public, he was a fluent and animated conversationalist with decided opinion on many subjects.

Our esteemed fellow citizen, Albert D. Wyatt, tells how hi friend, the delightful Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb to Dayton for'th great celebration or ovation given th Wright brothers in 1909. Wyatt took him out to the home on Hawthorne st. after th ceremonies, where Riley studied Wilbur' features and declared him to be the likenes of hi beloved and witty friend, Bill Njr who had died in 1896. Orville deeply resented the false label put on the Samuel P.

Langley plane which was recovered from the bottom of the Potomac river and, after 21 structural changes had been made, years after Langley's death, was made to fly. Langley was an ardent aviation pioneer, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and made his experiments with money appropriated by Congress. Langley worked under misapprehension of aerodynamic laws which the Wright brother were first to discover. After he died, th successor Smithsonian secretary was over-zealous in his attempt to do him honor. After the first plane was deposited by Orville as an historical treasure in the Kensington museum in London, the matter was thoroughly probed by the Military Affairs committee of the U.

S. House of Representatives, and the Smithsonian secretary had to and did admit the falseness of the claims for Langley. Orville also resented the fantastic, baseless claim that the sister, Katherine, contributed from her earnings to help her brothers. But such irritations must ever afflict mortals, and seem now of little importance when Orville has taken his seat with Wilbur and with Leonardo da Vinei and Thomas A. Edison in the Pantheon of the world's greatest minds.

Dayton. ROY G. FITZGERALD. Boilermakers' Chief Would Gag Members BY VICTOR RIESEL A government must deal with other gor-emments, so there is a secretary of state. A government must have and handle money.

There must be a secretary of the treasury. Governments, unhappily, have wars to fight. From the first there was a secretary of war. A government has laws to administer. An attorney general is indispensable.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6. The bigger the ham and the more florid the oratory in this speech-jammed business, the more certain you can be that the breast-beating labor chief runs his own barony in a fashion that would chill the heavy in Uncle Tom's Cabin even while not crossing the ice. I'm allergic to the well-fed, husky hand-wringers and loud lamenters over on the labor side who would have you believe that the rest of the country spends its waking hours just planning how to throw chains on the working stiffs. That's why I and some of the American Civil Liberties Union people are in a rash today over the boilermakers as tight a little labor bailiwick as John Lewis ever daydreamed of.

There you have George Washington's Cabinet all that the times called for in the year 1789. Thomas Jefferson secretary of state, Alexander Hamilton secretary of the treasury, Henry Knox secretary of war, Edmund Randolph attorney general. The simple, good old times! governmenx is moving to iignten controls on the kind of credit that normally would replace, as a buying force, the shrunken savings. There are some factors, then, that would indicate we may be at, near, or even gently past the peak of inflation. But who can say even this much with certainty? That we are on the verge of a collapse of prices, that we are heading down a steep place into the sea as we did in the fall of 1929, would seem to be pretty nearly out of the question.

Public panic could do abrupt damage to the economy, for public panic ii a powerful and unreasoning thing. Even so, the limits within which even panic can affect our economy have been narrowed by powers which government, under the New Deal, assumedpowers to regulate credit, powers to maintain the circulation of money and the purchasing capacity of low-income groups, and automatic protections such aa insurance of bank deposits. Even a bearish binge by the popular psychology would have hard sledding against these obstacles, and in the end it would be brought up fairly short by such underlying economic factors as continuing shortages in important consumer items and the undiminished need for providing help for Europe. Lip Service To Dead Presidents Republican and Democratic senators are reported to have formed a little cartel, the effective period to be the next fortnight. By "gentleman's agreement," the Senate will be in virtual recess all next week while the Republicans trek back to their home states to address the Lincoln Day dinners.

In return, the Senate will again be in virtual recess during the following week so that the Democratic senators can disport themselves at the Jackson Day banquets. As with all cartels, the effect of this one will be to limit production not production of oratory, for that will merely undergo a transference from Washington, D. to Columbus, Memphis, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City and Seattle, but the production of legislation. It is a little odd that this Congress whose economic war cry is "Production! Production! Production!" should, in the face of tremendous emergencies both domestic and foreign, decree its own private slowdown-It is equally odd that, while Lincoln and Jackson were great statesmen because they made a habit of meeting emergencies, the best way the Republicans and Democrats in the Senate can think of to pay them tribute is by not meeting emergencies. Wouldn't they feel more at home addressing a Nero Day celebration? The "Democratic" States The man who signed for Russia the 20-year "friendship" pact with Romania was the man who had signed for Russia, eight and a half years earlier, a certain pact with Germany.

Playing opposite Mr, Molotov in the affair of Wednesday night was the puppet premier Petru Groza. The man who played opposite Mr. Molotov in the affair of 1939 was von Ribbentrop, who swung from the gallows as a war criminal not so long ago. Did Mr. Groza feel comfortable as he initialed the pact, even considering the fact that there wasn't much else he could do? Did he feel wholly light-hearted as he spoke the words: an expression of the gravi ging techniques of his own.

He tried to seize the union, and its treasury, shut down its newspaper a tough little sheet which spoke up for its rights and put the leaders out of jobs. It happened this way: The Seattle local had been puffed up during the war by thousands of new ship and metal workers. Recently it decided to cut the salaries of some of its officers from about to $400 a month. The members voted this at a meeting. They wanted to save money.

They also wanted the officers to resign so another election could be held. Why another election? Because Brother Charley's crowd in the national office off in Kansas City, far from the noisy shipyards, had the gall to rule that elections even in locals should be held once every four years. That's a labor gimmick, brethren, to keep your friends in office. Those great labor patriots, with their wages cut th a meager $100 a week, rushed complainingly to Brother Charley. And about that he was sensitive.

He ruled that it was against international boilermaker policy to cut salaries. The Seattle union thumbed its nose at him. So he sent telegrams suspending the remaining officers, ordering the newspaper to cease publication and the members to give up their headquarters to his representatives. The postmaster general was not a member of the Cabinet till 1829. In 1798, a war with France impending, a Department of the Navy was decreed.

Benjamin Stoddert was its first secretary. The scope of government, spite of men's fear of government, grew and grew. There were public lands to manage. The Indian tribes were to govern. There must be a Department of the Interior.

Thomas Ewing of Ohio was appointed by President Zachary Taylor in 1849 to be its head. Boss Charley McGowan (he's listed as president) of the boilermakers, iron ship builders and other sundry trades, has been making loud noises about the Taft-Hartley law putting the shackles on the duespayers. A privilege, I presume, he thinks shouldn't be taken from soms of the big labor boys. Not so long ago, Brother Charley went out to Phoenix, and told some good people there, in what the generous labor press dubbed a "two-fisted speech," that: the members of trade unions have been gagged and bound hand and foot by the new labor law. Well, let me tell you about some gagging of trade union members Brother Charley has specialized in this past year.

But first you ought to know that the boilermakers' international union is big busi-nsss. In soms years it has taken in almost $2,000,000 In dues. And it's tightly run. McGowan has the power to suspend all members, officers or lodges (locals) when HE thinks they violate boilermakers' policy-whatever that is. Well, only a few months ago Brother Charley, who is modestly billed as one "of labor's best orators," grew very sensitive over that sacred thing boilermakers' international union policy.

So he moved in on a Seattle boilermakers' outfit with some gag Was not farming as great as finance or war? Norman J. Colman became first secretary of agriculture (how the city folk laughed!) in 1889. Should agriculture outshine commerce, and commerce labor? All three must come into the Cabinet. So now Washington's Cabinet of four is grown to Truman's Cabinet, with War and Navy united, of nine. Nor can a secretary of education be kept much longer out of the Cabinet And here is Sen.

Taft proposing that ths man who administers the Marshall plan be a member of the Cabinet. Man fails to recognize wife's voice over the phone. It couldn't have been because he hadn't heard It very often. THE PEOPLE GAIN ONE (New York World-Telegram) Hirohito of Japan continues to ensnare our interest because he is an individual in a peculiar transitional stage. He is an ex-god trying to get a job as a man experience limited.

Recently we made note of his reputed ability to hold a fan between his toes and fan himself while swimming in the rain with an open umbrella in one hand. To do this he may have had to draw a bit on some of his old-time powers, so the feat is none too conclusive evidence that he had descended all the way from divinity. But now comes new testimony of his progress. In a speech opening the Japanese parliament this week he used the significant phrase, "We, the people." Japanese quickly noted that it was the first time the emperor in a formal statement had put himself in the same category as an ordinary citizen. They retorted by setting up a 24-hour guard.

Then the thing went into the courts. Recently the Washington Supreme Court heard the case but has not yet handed down its decision. But what gets me is the gagging part. Brother Charley, of the great speeches; Brother Charley, member of the AFL executive council; Brother Charley of the AFL's inside group of political leaders; Brother Charley tried to suspend a union's newspaper because it was critical of him. This he said was an "attempt to poison the BIRD SONG A bird upon a field of snow, Jn search of food, Frustrated plainly, still upon one leg it stood, And poured from out its throat not one not of complaint, A dozen notes of faith from out a heart grown faint.
