Kills Farm Opposed Appropriation Measure Silver Is 0 tl.Ki WASHINGTON, March - The senate banking and currency committee today voted 14 to 4 for repeal of the administration's foreign silver purchase program. The committee approved a bill by Sen. John G. Townsend, R., Del., to end purchases of foreign silver which have been made by the U. S. treasury since passage of the silver purchase act of 1934. In Conflict The action was in conflict with the recommendation of Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgbnthau, the committee Jr, who toadvised withhold a vote until yesterday after completion of an authorized inquiry into fiscal and monetary policies. Committee Chairman Robert F. Wagner .said the action probably foreshadowed approval of the repealer by both the senate, and house this session. Billion Bought The United States has purchased -- about gl JXiU.tUU.noo -- of foreign silver under the silver purchase act. Wagner opposed the repealer together with Sens. Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky.; John H. Bankhead, D, Ala.: and William Smathers, D, N. J., Sen. James F. Byrnes, D.. S. C., was absent and Sen. Sheridan Downey, D.. Calif, was present but did not vote. Wagner pointed out that passage of the Townsend bill will not affect existing government contracts calling for purchase of ounces of silver, largely from Mexico. He scouted reports the administration might use its $2,000,000,000 currency stabilization fund, of which is unexpended, to continue its efforts to bolster world silver prices if the Townsend Dill is enacted. $1,800,-000,0- South Cache Band To Present Concert South Cache high school band, under the direction of W.

Welles Heads For America With Confidential Report EN ROUTE TO NEW YORK, Sumner Welles, March 20 y of United States state, sailed for home today to make a confidential report to Presexident Roosevelt on his ploratory tour of Europe. He was expected to tell Mr. Roosevelt that despite of all reports of a peace offensive, Europe apparently was settling down for a long and stubborn war. Develop ments of the last 48 hours, since the conference of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini at Brennero, had indicated the present war aims of Germany and the allies were irreconcilable. The report which Welles may be able to make to Mr. Roosevelt, based on more than 50 conferences in four capitals with such figures as the Pope, two kings, two dictators, a president and the premiers of both allied governments, is: (1) Some indications exist, despite Germany's threats of loosening a "big offensive at any time, that the war may drag on in its present stalemate indefinitely with neither side finding a place to deal a crucial blow; (2) As long as the stalemate continues there is the chance that the seed of peace may find root, because people in the warring countries are beginning to grow restless with Inactivity, are asking how the war can ever be won under present methods, and are seeing their resources slowly being used up; are under (31 "Developments way looking to a German-Italiin- under-secretar- Give Drama Tonight v e Hall In l. miners were entombed.

Sen. Robert A. Taft, Rei'iblican contender, then atpresidential tacked the $212,000,000 parity item written into the bill by a senate appropriations committee. Sen. Josh Lee, D., Okla., and Sen. Theo G. Bilbo, D., Miss., sponsored the larger parity fund, which the senate turned down, 56 to 27. If congress is to stimulate business to pick up the economic load, Taft said, it must resist attempts to increase the budget. The least that can be done, he said, is to keep deficits down to levels anticipated in the budget. If the present "policy of spending $10,000,000 more than tho government receives each day is he said, bankruptcy maintained, inevitably will result. Even without the $212,000,000 parity fund, he said, no clear way of remaining within the statutory debt limit of $45,000,000,-00- 0 is apparent. The budget, he 8160,030, 000 ;1n said, ' proposed special, taxes for national to keep the debt slightly under its ceiling.

HU playing U poetry in motion. From the first notes of Bach's Concerto in D minor to the last chord of his final encore, Brailowsky had 1500 persons under his spell. Seldom have the artists brought to Logan through the Civic Music Association met with such unanimous acclaim as was given to Brailowsky last night. Combining tone with technique to give perfection to his playing, every note was a masterpiece under his fiery touch. So magnificent did he play each composition, the audience was reluctant to have the program come to a close and only after he had played four encores was he granted hU leave. Brailowskys hands are a marvel to the eye, at times barely hovering over the keyboard and again moving with such vibrant passion as to be almost invisible. Although he gave all composers hU own magnetic personality in interpreting their compositions, it was not 'difficult to perceive his leaning toward Chopin. For it was in tho Chopin group that he rose to his greatest heights. Here hU eloquence reached a peak of superb perfection, combining power with lilting phrases of melody such as only Chopin could compose, and only a Brailowsky ' give full worth.
