Townsend Mary McCall Margaret O'Briei Eleanor Rairdon Anne Margaret Tobin Margaret Thompson Claire Trussell It is a known fact that Fred W. Green spent approximately $100,- 000 while in his four year tearm at Lansing, an amount exceeding his income as chief executive by 400 per cent. Whether Gov. Green was extravagant or not is a matter of doubt, although he was never known to have discarded his per- sonal resources foolishly in private life. He spent just that amount of money which was necessary to keep the state capitol and its chief ex- ecutive "respectable"-no more. And he was expected, on anticipation of his salary as Governor, to do all that was required of $100,000 on $20,000 in four years! This $5,000 annual "fee" hardly suffices to pay, for the chief execu- tive's service and food, much less his social obligations. It is merely a drop in the bucket when com- pared to the top-heavy expendi- tures he acquires automatically when he wins the gubernatorial election. It is the one prohibitive feature about our state government --a poor man, a man without an outside income, cannot become gov- ernor of the state. It isn't finan- cially possible! We believe that an increase to $10,000 would smooth out much of this dilemma; it would serve to remedy the great barrier which has arisen between the poorer classes and the office of chief executive. The increase is hardly one substan- tial enough to insure the incumbent that all his expenses will be paid while in office through the salary alone, but it WILL give him a great- er start toward keeping his head above water while governor of Michigan. It may, in the most eco- nomical circumstances, actually ap- proximate the expenditures which the chief executive. must forego during a year if used by a judicious, careful business man. It will cer- tainly go a long way toward reme- dying the present situation; it will give the poor man, the man with meager fortune and great intellect, a chance to serve his state. I..

Butler, for some time the stormy petrel ofI the marine forces, has now become involved in a controversy that has reached international dimensions and resulted in a formal note of apology from the American depart- ment of state to the .Italian gov- ernment and its iron-fisted leader, Premier Mussolini. But a question can be raised without any difficulty as to the real guilt of the marine officer. Perhaps there is just cause for the demands by Italian ambassador Giacomo De Martino and then again there is a possibility that Major Butler is merely a pawn in a chess-game which has already as- sumed proportions far beyond the i seriousness of the original offense and in which the United States government is playing anything but a winning part. The alacrity with which the Sec- retary of State apologized for the "reflections against the prime min- ister of Italy in the unauthorized speech of Major General Smedley D. Butler," is little less than as- tounding. A court martial has been ordered for the officer but the apology was already on its way to the Italian minister. There was but one fair and decent thing that the United States could do and that' was to give Butler a chance proper- ly to defend himself before the military court, without the added stigma of causing a state humilia- tion. Then, there would still have been plenty of time for the apolo- gies of the government. On the side of Italy, it would ap- pear that Mussolini had reached1 the perennial position which re-1 quires the apologies of some lead-1 ing nation to bring the Fascist gov- ernment back to a place of respect among the countries of the world.1 With his back against the wall, he chose to hang his case on the words of a United States officer which1 were spoken in comparative priva-I cy and without apparent malice ort To the Editor: In his review of the Spalding concert, Mr. Gorman refers to the playing of a work by an "unknown composer" Padre Martini. It should be stated that Giovanni Battista Martini (1706-1784) was a distin- guished composer and theorist in Bologna-from 1729 in priest's or- ders, hence usually called Padre. He composed chiefly sacred music. His works appear frequently on programs and are regarded as among the best of the old Italian school. Padre Martini was also a celebrated scholar and wrote some very important musical treatises and essays. Elisabeth Roth Shartel. To the Editor: I should not attempt to make re- ply to Mr. Albert Donohue's reply to my previous letter had he not taken almost deliberate pains to make the controversy a matter of personalities. This is unfortunate because I dislike putting Mr. Dono- hue at such a disadvantage. In addition to this irritating aspect of the situation, there is always the enraging the embittering element' that stiff-necked seriousness and pompous, outraged dignity ,so man- ifest in the awfully official protest of Mr. Donohue, are bound to en- gender. And as for the immediate re-' sponse Mr. Donohue claims thel Union gave another's criticism of the same fault, I can only say that I am not interested in his graphic description of his melodramatic efficiency. In only know that in the past year I have complained of the same situation no less than a half dozen times, and when I was not told that the situation could not be fixed, I was offered hopeful promises of a rosy millenium. Con- sequently, and this was good rea- soning even for one who lacks those dignified if slightly illiterate quali- ties of shocked protest, I decided{ to turn to other avenues of appeal. L. R. Klein.

Here is the poem. For the sake of variety it may be entitled Fare- well, In Parting, Adieu, Good-bye Now, or So Long Keed. which attempts to link the move- ments, actually little more than a sequence of ballades and scherzi. He plays the Funeral March with restraint, minimising the some bat deplorable contrast between - the mourning strains of the march pro- per and the lyric white veils of the second section. He is magnificent in the Finale: that peculiar move- ment which Chopin thought of as a "gossiping commentary on the march" and Rubinstein always said was "night winds over graves." Rachmaninoff makes it a fierce in- tellectual growl at the universe: which is far more significant than either of the others. BEETHOVEN: First Symphony in C Major: played by Willem Mengel- berg and the New York Philhar- monic Symphony Orchestra for. Victor Masterworks No. 73. Toscannini re-awakened interest -where it was needed-in the First of the Nine by his performances last Fall. Mengelberg's version for Victor with the same orchestra is thus timely. The Syphony needs no apology. It is as graceful as Haydn or Mozart (which is very graceful indeed) and has in addi- tion subtly integrated into the gen- eral graciousness and gracefulness interesting anticipations of a deep- er, more violent sensibility. Mengelberg does an interesting thing. He scales his performance pretty largely to those anticipa- tions: producing a Beethoven that is more recognizable as related to the later Beethoven than the one that comes out of the much more authentic reading of Toscannini. It is an interesting divergence. But Mengelberg so subtly achieves this raising in intensity and dynamiz- ing of the attack that it never be- comes bad taste; indeed the inten- tion is almost convincing. Because of the simplicities of the scoring there are no recording difficulties. RAVEL: Mother Goose Suite for OrWestra: played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the di- rection of Serge Koussevitsky on Victor Records 7370-7361. No other contemporary composer is receiving so handsome a tribute as Victor is paying Maurice Ravel in t h e recording performances. Koussevitsky is doing all of his ma- jor works. The Boston Orchestra is probably the supreme virtuoso of the world. More than any other can it do justice to Ravel's bewitch- ingly intricate demands of an or- chestra. MME.
