Robertson, professor of music at Brigham Young university. He returned re-turned July 25 from a year of study in Germany and Switzerland. One reason he advanced for what he termed an unmistakable slump in music there was the discrimination discrimina-tion agains the Jews. Most of the best musiciansin Berlin were Jews or had Jews among their ancestors. Thus they lost their influence in the wave of anti-Semetic feeling and many find It extremely difficult diffi-cult even to exist there, stated Professor Robertson. Anbther reason was "Hitler's choice of a political friend, poorly qualified as a musician for the post as musical director, according to the' processor. ' He- praised ' the vigor, and enthusiasm en-thusiasm withwhich Germany is endeavoring to struggle out of social so-cial and- economic troubles, however.. how-ever..

THOMPSON United Piress- Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 U.R) Aroused by evidence of 'chiselingr" on; the Voluntary re - employment agreements, officials of the national recovery recov-ery administration today de termined to make a strict check-up of violations and evasions. Administrator Hugh S. Johnson prepared for a- survey to disclose not only actual violations of signed agreements, but also roundabout methods by which some employers are seeking to display the Blue JSagle and obtain benefits of the agreement without making any real contribution to re-employment and wage increases. Reports from regional offices showed hundreds of thousands of Mh. a signatures to tile uvLjb&s agreements. wnat tne nka officials are- more anxious to know, however,- 1$ the number of men actually re - employed em-ployed ana the wi 00 own PART amount of money added to the nation's na-tion's payrolls. This information will be obtained through a questionnaire to all employers. em-ployers. The great- organization being be-ing developed through all the states wiU make a check-up comparatively com-paratively simple. In its final form the organization, designed to spread the gospel of the re-employment drive in every city and town, will be adaptable also to store- o-store o-store canvasses and other methods of. obtaining desired information. Perfect Organization The nation-wide organization is being perfected rapidly. Members of 26 district and 48 state recovery boards were appointed late yester day. They will supervise and co-4 ordinate local campaign workers. The great volume of inquiries reaching the NRA is interpreted by officials as meaning that many employers are seeking exemption from the blanket code through technicalities or by classification as borderline cases. There is every intention to administer ad-minister the blanket agreements with justice to all and with a great degree of flexibility that will prevent pre-vent undue hardships to individual enterprises.' But seme uneasiness has been aroused by the widespread wide-spread tendency to cavir over fine points in "the general cole. There really is no occasion for all this questioning' one high official of-ficial said.

VIOLATIO K'nr Itr U " FLOWERS (Editorial) Not only patriotic and unselfish co-operation, but genuine leadership was demonstrated Tuesday night at the mass meeting in the city and county building, when; 200 business men, of Provo and Utah county wholeheartedly whole-heartedly endorsed President Roosevelt's NRA program to increase wages and reduce working hours for the purpose pur-pose of putting tne country bacl? on a solid economic foundation. The meeting was called by the retail merchants committee of the Provo chamber of commerce for the purpose of discussing the NRA program, with the idea in mind of formulating a co operative program whereby the affairs of each and every business of the cities of the county would be so arranged, especially with re gard to closing, that a 100 per cent backing could be given the Roosevelt program in" Utah" county in the fastest possible time. The response accorded the proposed store schedule from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m., indicated that it will be adhered to throughout the county. Citizens of Provo and Utah county may well be proud of the business and industrial leaders of this county As in the past, these men and women have unhesitantly risen and responded to the call of their people and their country. As' far as Utah county is concerned, at least, the NRA program will get the honest tryout it deserves. And to these retailers, the Herald pledges its support sup-port and assistance in carrying out the uniform code.
