ROOSEVELT DENIES SPLIT
WASHINGTON, April 18—(IT-P)— The white house again today insisted emphatically that President Roosevelt and Vice-President John N. Gamer have not broken over new deal spending but Gamer did not add his voice to the disavowal.
Hull To
Brand
Powers
New Foreign Policy Viewed as Result Oi 'Quarantine' Talk
WASHINGTON, April 18—(U.P)— The United States shortly will place the official brand of “treaty violator” on at least three major powers, it was indicated today coincident with publication of the senate naval affairs committee’s favorable report on President Roosevelt’s super-navy bill demanding a fleet powrful enough to defend American interests and citizens throughout the world.
Chairman Sam D. McReynolds, D., Tennessee, of the house foreign affairs committee, said that Secretary of State Cordell Hull, in a statement to congress next week, will for the first time name all nations which have violated treaties to which the United States is signatory.
SEEK TREATY INFORMATION
He said a resolution introduced in the house by Rep. Byron N. Scott, D.. California, demanding treaty information, will “if not incompatible with public interest,” be referred to the state department immediately.
President Roosevelt reportedly will instruct Hull to name Japan, Italy, and Germany as “treaty violators” or “aggressors.”
This development in the administration’s foreign policy, announced on the eve of the senate’s consideration of the huge navy expansion program, is expected to bring the most far-reaching discussion of America’s international position since the World war.
REVISION WANTED
The Scott resolution, pointed at revision of the neutrality act to make it applicable only to aggressor nations, called on the president to inform congress what nations have violated any of the following treaties in recent years:
The Kellogg-Briand pact, outlawing aggressive warfare; the Nine-Power treaty guaranteeing China’s territorial integrity; the Pan-American peace treaties adopted at Buenos Aires by all American Republicans in 1936; and the Anglo-Franco-American-Japanese agreement regarding Pacific island possessions.

II Duce Speeds
Pact
Diplomatic Concessions Assure French-Italian t Friendship Pledge
PARIS. April 18 —(U.P)—Premier Benito Mussolini has waived his demands that France restore full diplomatic relations by sending an ambassador to Rome before he enters into negotiations on an Italio-French pact of friendship, official government quarters said tonight.
The concession from H Duce was said to have been transmitted to Paris as result of an approach Sunday to the Italian foreign minister. Count Galeazzo Ciano, by French Charge d’Affaires Jules L. Blondel who asked whether Italy was ready to enter into immediate discussions.
IMMEDIATE AC1 3N ASKED
Blondel’s informal contact with Ciano was said to have brought about an unofficial agreement to hasten the conversations for an agreement paralleling the Anglo-ltalian agreement initiated in Rome Saturday.
Blondel will see Ciano again tomorrow in Rome and it was believed that the groundwork for the discussions would be laid at that time. France is particularly anxious to conclude her understanding with Mussolini before Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany arrives in Rome May 3 on a state visit.
PARLEY TO BEGIN
Rome, it was said, has shown the same desire as Paris for immediate talks and was said to have suggested that the “preliminary phase” of the discussions could be started this week.
French official quarters said that Italy had agreed to begin the talks without waiting for France to appoint a new ambassador bearing letters of credence addressed to King Victor Emmanuel as “emperor” of Ethiopia.
PROMISES CITED
France, it was said, will be permitted to withhold de jure recognition of Italy’s Ethiopian conquest until after the league of nations council, which convenes on May 9, releases France and other powers from anti-recognition pledges.
Ciano, in his first conversation with Blondel, was reported to have agreed to extend to France the same promises concerning the Mediterranean, Red sea. the Suez canal, and North Africa which are contained in-the Italian pact with Britain.

Favorites of Bach,
Haydn and Brahms To Be Heard
Favorite works of three famous composers, Bach, Haydn, and Brahms, will compose the program of tomorrow’s Listening Hour at 2:30 p.m. in Bovard auditorium. The first is an arrangement of Bach’s Choral Prelude, "Out of the Deep I Cry Unto Thee,” by Stokowski.
Bach wrote choral preludes for organ fantasies based on old hymns. These compositions were the darlings of his heart, and Stokowski's arrangements of them for orchestra are labors of love.
The “Surprise Symphony” of Haydn was written during the happiest time of the composer’s life. He was at the height of his popularity in London. His music had been recognized in Vienna, but here it had also been taken for granted. In London he was a celebrity.
Johanes Brahm's rhapsody, “Winter Journey in the Hartz Mountains was one of the composer’s favorites. Of it he wrote, “I am so fond of this work that I cannot help putting it under my pillow at night so that I may always have it with me.”
It is a musical interpretation of a poem by Geo the. The poem was written in 1772 after Geothe had made a trip to the Hartz mountains. It gives the bold mountain scenery and the glamour of the legends of the country in about 50 lines of blank verse. This Brahms has put into music.

Hitler Accused Of Papal Snub
VATICAN CITY. April 18—<U.P)— Vatican prelates tonight said that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany, who will come to Rome May 3 on a state visit, appears to have “deliberately snubbed” Pope Pius XI by failing to request a papal audience in conformity with diplomatic custom.
Normal diplomatic protocol, they said, requires visiting heads of states to call on the pontiff and arrange for the audience in advance.
This indication of a continued widening of the breach in relations between the Vatican and the third Reich came a few hours after the Pope conferred the Apostolic blessing on the Insurgent cause in Spain,
Prelates close to the Vatican secretary of state, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, admitted that the chances of a meeting between Hitler and the Pope were growing “slimmer and slimmer” each day.
yearly projects to be sponsored by the School of Music alumni for the purpose of establishing a scholarship fund to be known as the “Walter F. Skeele Memorial foundation,” in honor of the former dean emeritus who served for 40 years as the head of the music school. Fundj from the projects will be used in the establishment of annual scholarships for talented music students.
The text of “Bombastes Furioso'' is an English burlesque which mad* its initial appearance at the Hay-market in 1810. and which has had repeated revivals during the following years. The play was introduced in the United States during one of the early theatrical productions at Harvard college.
AUTHORITY ON SATIRE
Mr. Rhodes, the author was the chief teller of the Bank of England, a collector of rare books, and an authority on classic satire and comedy.
First edition of "Bombastes,” now a collector’s item, was printed shortly before the authors death in 1837 and was illustrated by William Cruickshank, also the illustrator for Charles Dickens.
The piece is a burlesque of all the familiar situations of melodrama. with love, mystery, two duels between the principal characters and knavery predominate. In the musical version all the dialogue is sung but the play has been left unchanged.
MUSIC IS DIRECT
Professor Alderman’s music, written orginally as a study in English comedy style is direct and tuneful. The opera has no chorus; there are only four characters, and an army that does not sing. An army consisting of a long fifer, a short drummer, and soldiers of assorted sizes. The cast is as follows:

Dr. Townsend Granted Last Minute Pardon
WASHINGTON. April 18—<lT.P>— Dr. Francis E. Townsencfs plan to become an imprisoned martyr for his old age pension movement was nipped today by a presidential pardon.
The gaunt. white-haireQ messiah for the aged had just surrendered to U. S. Marshal John Colpoys to serve a 30-day sentence for contempt of a congressional investigating committee when the white house telephoned that President Roosevelt had granted him a complete pardon. A few moments later a department of Justice agent arrived with the document and Townsend was free.
The pardon text reviewed the entire case, relating how Dr. Townsend angrily walked out on the committee with the allegation that he was being “persecuted.” The house cited him for contempt, and a federal court conviction followed February 14, 1987.

Toccata im P major_______Bach
This toccata is ooe of the finest of the big preludial movements oI Bach. Like the Dorian work, lt has none of the brilliance or the rhapsodical quality we usually associate with the title. Instead there is an immense and unflagging vigor, a spacious design, and a power of development, that even Bach himself rarely, if ever, exceeded.
The Sun’s Evensong ......... Karg-Elert
This is taken from “Seven Pastels” from the Lake of Constarce, a very modem and colorful work.
