Mrs. Cummings
; Succumbs After
Long Sickness
Ex-Cabinet Member's
Wife, 40, Was Noted
As a Hostess
Mrs. Homer S. Cummings, 40, wife
of the former Attorney General,
died last night at Ruthven, their
estate at 2700 Tilden street N.W.,
after an illness of several months.
Mrs. Cummings had suffered from
high blood pressure since returning
from Florida in March. An unfavor
able heart condition complicated, her
illness, her physician. Dr. Paul F.
Dickens, said.
The funeral will be held at 5
p.m. tomorrow at the residence.
Burial will take place at Stamford,
Conn., Saturday.
Before her husband's retirement
from the cabinet early this year,
Mrs. Cummings was one of the Cap
ital's most prominent hostesses. She
rarely invited large gatherings to
their home, but numberless parties
of 10 or a dozen gathered informally
on the lofty terrace there.
Mr. and Mrs. Cummings celebrated
their tenth wedding anniversary
this spring. She shared her hus
band's absorption in political econ
omy and practical politics to a de
gree unusual even in a cabinet wife.
At the height of any congressional
debate she could usually be seen in
the gallery.
The same interest drew her abroad
in her youth to study at the Sor
bonne and the Alliance Francaise.
I
MRS. HOMER S. CUMMINGS.
; Later she matriculated at Columbia
University and attended the New
School for Social Research in the
days when its educational methods
were new and revolutionary. She
spoke French fluently.
Mastered 40 Books in Month.
On President Roosevelt's first
election, her husband was slated to
go to Manila as Governor General,
only to be shifted quickly to the
post of Attorney General on the j
death of Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, who was named for the Justice
Department post. Within that brief
month Mrs. Cummings had mas
tered 40 books dealing with the
Philippines.
During her husband’s service as
Attorney General, Mrs. Cummings
: took a keen interest in the Depart -
; ment of Justice and became SC
'S quainted with a large number of
; its personnel.
i Her sympathy for the New Deal
was as ardent as her husband's.
Less than a year ago she summed
j it up this way:
“We both feel sorry for conserva
| tives these days. They die a thous
■ and deaths. We believe in new
things—not because they are new, '
: but because we recognize that times
and conditions change and we must
keep up with them.”
Before coming here Mr. and Mrs.
Cummings lived in Greenwich. |
Conn., on a knoll overlooking Long
Island Sound. Mrs. Cummings was
born not far away, in Darien, on
November 4. 1898.
She loved the theater as only one
who has lived in a Connecticut sub
urb of New York can. An invet
erate first-nighter, she continued
to appear in her colorful evening
dresses at opening New York per
formances even after moving here.
, The opera and symphony also at
i traded her and she was keenly in
I terested in literature.
Liked Bright Clothes.
Bright hues were her passion in
I clothing. She created a mild sen
I sation at the Court of St. James
in the spring of 1937 wh<?n she ap
peared not in traditional white, but
in a brocaded gown tinged with red.
One of the liveliest of cabinet
wives, she always had a witty word
for the society editors who neces
sarily called her several times a
week, at length becoming so popu
lar with them that she was made
an associate member of the News
paper Women's Club of Washington.
Mrs. Cummings, then Miss Cecelia
Waterbury, was married to Mr
Cummings April 2, 1929. At that
time he was practicing law in Stam
ford, Conn., and was senior mem
ber of the firm of Cummings &
Lockwood. Her husband is her only
immediate survivor. Her parents
were the late William W. Water
bury, who died in 1931, and the
late Mrs. Margaret A. Waterbury
who died in 1925.

Odd Senate Subway Cars
To Be Auctioned Off
Next Wednesday at 2 p.m. “Peg”
and ‘'Tommy,” the two outmoder
Senate subway cars at the Capitol,
will be autcioned off.
The two canary-colored vehicles
which preceded the present mono
rail cars were once the delight of
tourists to Washington and carried
many a pre-war luminary from his
offices to the battles on the Senate
floor and back.
The two old cars have been sit
ting, their batteries long since dead,
in the Senate Office Building sub
way shops since 1912.
David Lynn, architect of the Capi
tol, has invited antiquarians and
museum representatives to the auc
tion in the shops next Wednesday.
Each has a capacity of eight per
sons and a driver. They were built
especially for the purpose by the
Studebaker Co. The present mono
rail subway trolleys were installed
in 1916 and, after being used for
several years only during rush hours,
the two old cars were allowed to
gather dust in the shops.
Nearly 700.000 men idle in Bri
tain in January are now at work.

Rain Fails to Scatter
i
Water Gate Audience
Rudolph Ganz Rewards His Listeners;
Taylor as Soloist Is a Triumph
By ALICE EVERSMAN.
Rain at the Water Gate has no
terror for the "Sunset Symphonies”
audiences and last night, once again,
Washingtonians showed a willing
ness to brave discomfort for the
pleasure of listening to music by the
National Symphony Orchestra. One
of the attractions of the program
was the return of popular Rudolph
Ganz as guest conductor. Another
was the appearance of Concertmas
ter Millard Taylor as soloist.
The heavy shower just before the
concert hour had its effect on many
who had started for the Water Gate
and. fearful of a wet evening, re
turned to their homes. But others
stayed, taking shelter beneath the
underpass when necessary, but oth
erwise sitting with determination
under umbrellas until the end of the
program. When the curtain of the
barge was lifted as a sign that the
concert would be given there was
an outburst of applause from those
who had waited the few minutes
past the openingN^iour during which
the management decided the pro
gram should be given.
Rudolph Ganz as an orchestra
leader—one of his many accom- j
plishments—already has made a'
deep impression on local music pa
trons through his former appear
ances with the National Symphony.!
His concise, clean-cut and virile
manner of directing receives an in
stantaneous response from the or
chestra members and last night they
answered his interpretative direc
tions with the same readiness, in
spite of the difficulties which the
dampness caused. His reading of
Weber's overture to "Euryanthe”
emphasized the brightness and easy
flow of the music rising to a splen
did climax at the finish.
In like manner was the perform- |
ance of the first suite Bizet wrote
for ‘L’Arlesienne.” the bits from
Wagner's "Die Meistersinger” and
"Got tterdaemmerung." Saint-Saens'
"Danse Macabre" and Tschaikow
ski's "Capriccio Italien.” The one
disappointment of the orchestral
part of the program was Emerson
Whithorne’s "Fandango,” which 1
needed a smoother and more under
standing performance than that
given it last night for one to form a
positive judgment. Although this
composer’s "Second Symphony” has
received considerable acclaim when
given in New York, the "Fandango”
is not a work that either by its con
struction or thematic material re
veals a composer of startling gifts.
It was a pity that Mr. Taylor
had to cope with the effect the
weather has on violin strings in his
playing of the Bruch "Concerto in
D Minor,” for this splendid violinist
has had too few opportunities for
solo appearances. His tone is lovely
in the extreme, fine and expressive,
and he is a musician of the first
rank. He played the concerto with
authority and sentiment, scoring a
well deserved triumph with both his
fellow musicians and the audience.
Under the influence of the clear
ing skies and balmy atmosphere, the
Water Gate audience was in a mood
to hear as much music as it could,
and to oblige it, Mr. Ganz, whose
success was evident from the amount
of applause after each number, gave
Halvorsen’s "Entry of the Boyarda"
and the “Dance of the Clowns.”
from Rimsky-Korsakoff’s “Snow
Maiden,” as encores.
Vandenberg to Remain
Aloof From Campaign
By the Associated Press.
BOSTON. Aug. 10.—United States
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Re
publican, of Michigan, intends to
remain "scrupulously detached from
the pre-convention campaign” for
the presidency but hopes he is “pre
pared to meet whatever responsi
bilities subsequently develop.”
In a letter to the "Vandenberg
for-President" Club in Massachu
setts, the Michigan Senator said:
"I have no presidential aspirations
whatever,” but “the situation is up
to the Republicans of the Nation
themselves.”
He added, former Representative
Everett R. Prout of Quincy and
William J. MacHale of Boston, club
organizers, said:
“Personally, I would greatly prefer
to remain in the Senate, if I am to
continue In public life at all. Per
sonally, I shall seek no convention
delegates—directly or indirectly—
and I shall keep myself scrupulously
detached from the pre-convention
campaign. But I cannot ignore the
fact that I am not an entirely free
agent in these matters. I hope I
am prepared to meet whatever re
sponsibilities subsequently develop.”
Anglo-French Missions
Arrive in Leningrad
By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Aug. 10.—British and
French military missions arrived at
Leningrad today on their way to
Moscow for stafT talks with Soviet
army and navy leaders.
Moscow newspapers avoided any
mention of the Brltish-French-So- j
vlet negotiations on a mutual aid
pact, even In dispatches from for
eign capitals.
Nineteen British delegates headed
by Admiral Sir Reginald Plungett
and eleven Frenchmen led by Gen.
Joseph Edouard Doumenc planned
to spend the day at Leningrad and
leave for Moscow shortly after mid
night. Formal talks are expected
