Right now, he is composing ancook a cougar, all incidents gleaned other musical which he expects to have on Broadway this winter. Some composers compose their songs on a piano, some in their head. Romberg composes most of his music on a Hammond organ, so that he can get the effect of the entire orchestra as he tests a melody on the Hammond. He used to do it on a pipe organ, sitting in solitary majesty before the gigantic instrument When the Hammond organ was invented, he got one of the first made.

Finishing his schooling in Vienna, he had to serve his term in the army. When that was finished, the crisis came. His father, though very musical himself, was determined his son was going to be an engineer and build bridges. The peace maker in the dispute, that arose was his mother who suggested that he spend a year in America before making a decision. America had a lot of fine bridges, she figured, and maybe her son would learn to love bridges over rivers more than musical bridges. It didnt work. Romberg came to the United States, went to work packing pencils in a pencil factory for a brief period and then got a job as a pianist in a restaurant he had stopped at to satisfy his Samuel Goldwyn will come up of The Winning of with a Barbara Worth, remembered as the picture which launched Gary Coopers career, in 1926.

Observers report the Korean situation serions. Republicans Gail Taking the administration by surprise, the Republican party made sweeping gains in the senate and house in one of the most hotly contested national elections In years. As final tabulations were being completed, observers believed that the Democrats would retain 49 senate seats and the Republicans would have 47. To all practical purposes the Republicans will have a working majority in the senate and will control legislative voting with the aid of rebellious southern Democrats. In the house the Republicans made sweeping gains, but not enough for control. Most startling aspect of the election, in the opinion of most observers, was the defeat of such men s as Democrat Sen. Millard E. of Maryland and Sen. Scott Lucas of Illinois. Lucas was the Democratic mas jority leader in the senate and was a strong supporter of the administration and the state department. In Ohio, Sen. Robert A. Taft won a resounding victory over the purge attempt Foreign policy played an important part in Tafts campaign and the results of the battle may shake the foundations of the Republican party. Some observers saw Taft's victory as a plain indication that the people were not happy with the administrations foreign policy.
