■TMI IMPORTANT MEN'S CORNER.
Y'
Amish Leader Victim
Of Mountain Fever
At La Plata
Stephen Stolzfus One
Of Three in Family
Stricken by Disease
B5 the Associated Press.
! LA PLATA. Md.. Aug. 5 —Stephen
F. Stolzfus, who two years ago led
an Amish emigration from Lancaster
County, Pa., to avoid controversy
over Pennsylvania school laws, was
to be buried today in a private plot
on his farm near New Market.
The 77-year-old clergyman died
Saturday in Physicians' Memorial
Hospital of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, the result of a tick bite re
ceived about two weeks ago.
Now ill with the fever are the
wife of one of his three sons. Mrs.
Samuel Stolzfus, and her small son,
I Reuben, 3. They were described
I as not seriously sick.
Came to New Haven.
Mr. Stolzfus. or plain Stephen,
as he preferred to be called, be
lieving that only the Savior was
worthy the title of "Mister,” headed
! the group of eight Amish families
which moved last year to a 1.950
acre tract in Southern Maryland to
set up a new community.
The reason for the exodus was
partly the Amish aversion to the
borrowing of money. Establishment
__IVlAI* I
former home in Lancaster County
was to be financed by the sale of
bonds, a policy they opposed on
I principle. Perhaps a more impor
tant reason, however, was the price
of the land in their home com
' munity, which had increased at
least partly through their own in
dustry to as much as $500 an acre.
This made the price of "landing”
their sons when they were married,
in accordance with the tenets of
! their religion, almost prohibitive.
The land they bought in Southern
Maryland averaged about $30 an
1 acre.
Only recently Stephen remarked:
"A year ago we came here from the
Lancaster Valley. Some told as the ;
soil was w'orn out, others that we j
: might not be welcome in the com- '
munity. They were WTong. We are
happy and prospering.”
Community Flourishing.
New barns, enlarged houses and I
larger herds of cattle and horses .
and bumper crops bear witness to ,
the statement of the Amish leader. |
Their plain, buttonless clothes and
1 quiet manners have made them a
welcome addition to the Southern !
Maryland community in which they
have made their home.
In Baltimore, Dr. C. H. Halliday.
chief epidemiologist of the Maryland
Health Department, said Mr. Stolz- j
fus’ death raised the number of tick
; fever fatalities to seven in Maryland
this year, two more than were re- :
ported during the entire summer of
1940.
Two fatalities have occurred in
Baltimore County and one each in
Anne Arundel. Cecil. Charles. Mont
gomery and Wicomico Counties.

28 or older would be released as soon
as possible and transferred to a
reserve component of the Army.
The compromise must yet be ap
proved by the Senate. It contained
no reference to labor or industry,
though the original Senate proposal
provided for seizure of plants w'here
stoppages interrupted defense pro
1 duction.
Counting their battle won after.
the vote on the Taft bill, Senate |
leaders pressed for a final vote at
today's session on the legislation.
Under the administration's bill, the
Chief Executive could keep all se
lectees, Reservists, National Guards
men and regular enlisted men for
an additional 18 months, unless
Congress meanwhile canceled the
authorization. The measure repre
sents a compromise for an earlier
proposal asking an indefinite ex- i
tension of the training periods.
The administration gained support!
today from the Republican side
when Senator Barbour of New Jer
sey announced he would support
the 18-month extension.
“It just does not make sense.” he
declared in a statement, "to build up
an army with all this effort and
cost and then start tearing down the
structure, especially in view of all
that is going on with increasing fury
in constantly widening areas.
Affects Objectors, Too.
“It is now the duty of Congress
to provide for extension of this
(Army) training to mee^ the chal
lenge of armed power all around
us.”
Senator Thomas. Democrat, of
Utah, floor manager for the exten
sion measure, told reporters today
that the pending legislation would
provide for an additional 18 months
of service for conscientious objec- i
tors who were assigned to non- j
:ombat work after they were drafted.
Bitter charges and denials that
the administration had placed the
Nation in danger of w’ar were heard
in the Senate yesterday.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
; Montana read what he termed the:
report of a British Army major as-'
serting that Secretary of the Navy J
Knox was “passionately anxious for!
America to come into the war at
once.”
Called Propagandist.
Senator Wheeler said the major,
whom he described as a man con
! ducting publicity and propaganda
activity in the United States, had j
referred to President Roosevelt as
"the greatest dictator of all time”
and had said there was "more real
war effort” in the United States
than in Canada.
When Senator Brooks. Republi
i can, Illinois asserted that “the ac
! tual progress of this administration
toward war” had placed the Nation
in peril, Senator Lee, Democrat, of
Oklahoma replied with a shout that
. such talk was the "rankest form of
i demagoguery.”
“This Nation is still at peace,” he
told the Senate, "and if we are able
| to escape the blight erf war It will
| be due to the matchless leadership
of the President of the United
States."
Registered as Agent.
During the debate, Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Iowa said that Maj.
Gen. John P. O’Ryan of New York,
recently appointed adviser to Secre
j tary of War Stimson, had been a
representative of the Japanese
Economic Federation in the United
, States. Gen. O’Ryan, Senator Clark
added, had declared himself “ready
to go to war” against Germany but
not against Japan.

August 2, 1941.
His Excellency
Constantine A. Oumansky.
Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics.
My dear Mr. Ambassador:
I am pleased to inform you that
the Government of the United
States has decided to give all
economic assistance practicable for
the purpose of strengthening the
Soviet Union in its struggle against
armeu aggrehMon. inis uruaiuu
has been prompted by the convic
tion of the Government of the
United States that the strengthen
ing of the armed resistance of the
Soviet Union to the predatory at
tack of an aggressor who is threat
ening the security and independence
not only of the Soviet Union but
also of all other nations is in the
interest of the national defense of
the United States.
Priorities Granted.
In accordance with this decision
of the Government of the United
States and in order to implement
the policy enunciated above, the
Government of the United States is
giving the most friendly considera
tion to requests from the govern
ment. institutions, or agencies of the
Soviet Union relative to the placing
in this country of orders for articles
and materials urgently required for
the needs of the national defense
of the Soviet Union and, for the
purpose of promoting the speedy
completion and delivery of such
articles and materials, is extending
to these orders priority assistance
upon the principles applicable to
the orders of countries struggling
against aggression.
In order to facilitate the exten
sion of economic assistance to the
Soviet Union, the Department of
State is also issuing unlimited
licenses permitting the export to
the Soviet Union of a wide variety
of articles and materials needed for
the strengthening of the defense of
that country, in accordance with
the principles applicable to the fur
nishing of such articles and mate
rials as are needed for the same pur
pose by other countries resisting ag
gression.
Ship* May Be Provided.
The appropriate authorities of the
Government of the United States,
in pursuance of the decision to
which I have above referred, are
also giving their favorable consid
eration to requests for the extension
of available American shipping
facilities for the purpose of expedit
ing the shipment to the Soviet
Union of articles and materials
needed for the national defense of
that country.
I am, my dear Mr. Oumansky,
Very sincerely yours,

Acting Secretary.
The Hon. Sumner Wells,
Acting Secretary of State.
My Dear Mr. Acting Seecretary:
I am pleased to take notice of the
contents of your communication of
this date in which you informed
me that the Government of the
United States has decided to give
all economic assistance practicable
for the purpose of strengthening the
Soviet Union in its struggle against
armed aggression. You add that
this decision has been prompted by
the conviction of the Government
of the United States that the
strengthening of the armed resist
ance of the Soviet Union to the
predatory attack of an aggressor
who is threatening the security and
independence not only of the Soviet
Union but also of all other nations
is in the interest of the national de
fense of the United States.
Gralitnde Expressed.
On behalf of my government, I
wish to emphasize the correctness of
the view that the aggressor who has
treacherously invaded my country is
threatening the security and inde
pendence of all freedom-loving na
tions and that this threat naturally
creates a community of interest of
national defense of those nations.
My government has directed me to
express to the Government of the
United States its gratitude for the
friendly decision of the Government
of the United States and its confi
dence that the economic assistance
you refer to in your note will be of
such scope and carried out with such
expedition as to correspond to the
magnitude of the military operations
in which the Soviet Union is en
gaging, in offering armed resistance
to the aggressor—a resistance which,
as you so justly observed, is also in
the interest of the national defense
of the United States.
I am also pleased to note your
statement that:
"In accordance with this decision
of the Government of the United
States and in order to implement
the policy enunciated above, the
Government of the United States Is

Bay State Executive
Pleads Innocent at
Impeachment Trial
Democratic Official
Denies Any Part
In Pardon Scandal
B» the A*socl»ted Press.
BOSTON, Aug. 5.—Opening Massa
chusetts’ first impeachment trial in
120 years, Daniel H. Coackley, a
Democratic member of the State
Executive Council, today entered a
general plea of innocence to charges
that he had sold his political influ
ence to obtain pardons for criminals.
Just before he appeared, the State
Senate had resolved itself into a
High Court of Impeachment, fol
lowing a set of rules laid down at
the last such trial, in 1821, when
Daniel Webster served unsuccess
fully as defense counsel for a judge.
The initial proceedings were brief,
however, as the court delayed all
presentation of evidence until
August 25.
The 76-year-old councillor, long a
power in the Democratic party in
this State, protested that he never
had received a penny for any of the
pardons for which he voted in his
10 years in the Council.
“And I'll prove it before the bar
of the Senate,” he asserted.
Meanwhile. It appeared likely
that actual presentation of evidence
would be delayed for at least a week
or 10 days. Defense Counsel Wil
liam H. Lewis, a former assistant
United States district attorney, said
he would ask the Senate for time
to file answers to each of the speci
fic allegations.
He contemplated also three addi
tional motions, among them a de
mand that he be permitted access
to secret records and stenographic
transcripts of testimony of witnesses
who appeared before the State
Commission during its long inquiry.
Plans for calling a long list of
witnesses, among them former
Democratic Gov. Charles P. Hurley,
have been made by Attorney Gen
eral Robert T. Bushnell, serving as
prosecutor for the House of Rep
resentatives, which instituted the !
impeachment proceedings.

soring agencies. The Star and the
National Symphony Orchestra As- ,
sociation. were elated with its sue- J
cess. Net proceeds will be turned ;
over to the United Service Organi-!
zation's war chest.
Added evidence of the success of j
this massive climax to the summer
concert series was seen in the ap
plause given the music of the Na
tional Symphony Orchestra and the
singing of Miss Lucy Monroe, "star
spangled soprano” and director of
patriotic music for R. C. A.-Victor.
As the crowd filtered in after
sundown, it saw 20 feet from shore j
a barge shaped in the form of a
stage and dimly lighted, with a blue
background set off by an outspread
American flag. Floodlights shone
from the edge of the seating space,
and off in the river the water glim
mered silver in the moonlight,
broken only by occasional canoes
paddling in to tie up.
A bell rang out from the stage
at 8:30 pm. The lights came up.
Charles O'Connell, guest conductor,
•Iso from R. C. A.-Victor, walked to
his stand in front of the orchestra.
The lights dimmed, partly shutting
out the craft along the river, and
then came the opening chord of
"Pan-Americana,” first of five Vic
tor Herbert selections that made
up the symphonic portions of the
program.
The crowd quieted to an impres
sive stillness. There were many faces
peering from the bridges, like the
beehive humanity from some French
court scene.
Three Solos by Miss Monroe.
"Kiss Me Again,” "Italian Street
Song” and "Romany Life” came in
quick succession, all sung by Miss i
Monroe. There was much applause '
and the soprano returned to the
stage to take her bows.
The orchestra struck up a medley
of familiar songs—“Grand American
Fantasy,” a number tuned to a night
for music lovers. From it came the
chords of “Swanee River” to harmo
nize with the canoes floating lazily |
in the moonlight, and when the
musical climax was reached with
“The Star Spangled Banner,” the
audience rose and, without leader
ship or invitation, sang the national
anthem. This entirely spontaneous
exhibition from the crowd was a
high light of the whole evening, j
There was a spiritual quality in
these thousands of untrained, un
rehearsed voices joining by a com
mon impulse in "The Star Spangled
Banner” that brought lumps to
throats and tears to eyes. It was
unexpected. Nothing like it had
happened before And as the echoes
died the intermission was reached.
People got up and walked around.
The orchestra left the platform for
a rest.
Musical History Made.
After a 10-minute intermission.
Miss Monroe, at shortly after 9
o'clock, made a brief announcement
in which she reported that it was
the largest crowd in the history of
the Water Gate and that the eve
ning's event made musical history,
for never before had a community
sing been accompanied by a major
symphony orchestra.
The first song she called for in
the mass singing was “God Bless
America.” A handful of singers dis
played at that time their patriotism
by standing, even though a vast
majority of the audience was seated.
The song began, grew louder to
the encouragement of Miss Monroe's
soprano and four male quartets on
the stage.
The opening song was sung twice,
and then the singers did better on
“Take Me Out to the Ball Game,”
“You Wore a Tulip” and “Pack Up
Your Troubles."
“Let’s open our sheets and sing
No. 49,” Miss Monroe suggested as
the singing wanned up. A sudden
rustle spread over the crowd, and
white song sheets flashed in the
floodlights.
In the midst of “Sweet Adeline.”
a burst of applause sounded loudest
from the upper level, near the
Memorial Bridge. Those within
hearing distance turned. A powerful
barber shop tenor was singing far
louder than his neighbors.
The quartets on the stage were
a feature of the evening. One of
them was composed of soldiers from
Fort Mver. another of Marines from
Quantico, the third of sailors from
the Navy School of Music and the
fourth was made up of members of
the District Department of the
American Legion. Friendly rivalry
among them was encouraged by
Miss Monroe.
The Bailors sang “Anchors A weigh” 1
and the soldiers tried to outdo them
singing “The Caisson Song.” Then j
the Marines took over with “The (
Halls of Montezuma.” It has a
number of verses and the Marines
doggedly sang them all while the
other service men looked on wyith
some concern. Later, when “School
Days” was sung by every one, the
soldiers tried to best the Marines
with a kind of swaying dance in
time to the music. The Legionnaire
quartet was best on the old numbers,
ditties reminiscent of 1917 and 1918
—“My Buddy” and “Hinky Dinky
Parlez Vous.”
Members of the quartet are as
follows:
Soldiers — Sergt. Donald Moore.
Sergt. Benjamin Tylendo. Pvt.
(First Class* Oliver D. Jones and
Pvt. (First Class) George F. Rey
nolds.
Sailors — Tweed Shedden, jr.:
Merle Goady, John Reynolds and
Milton Schneider.
Marines—Sergt. William H. Robi
son and Pvts. (First Class* August
H. Laube, Harry E. Dack and
Harold Beaty.
Legionnaires—William P. Kersch
ner. Francis Gages, Russell Clarkson
and Milton C. McGuffin.
At 9:30 p.m. the sing was broad
cast Sn a coast-to-coast hookup over
WMAL and the blue network of the
National Broadcasting Co. Quar
tets from the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps and American Legion helped
with the half hour of broadcasting
that followed, but nothing gave the
singing more zest than when Miss
Monroe, as the audience sang “and
a pale moon beams.” from "Long.
Long Trail,” pointed above to a
moon that was described in the
song.
As the final song of the broad
cast, Miss Monroe called for the
national anthem, her favorite song.
The audience rose. Their voices
swelled out over the river. At the
words “and the rockets’ red glare,”
fireworks were touched off on the
farther shore. They soared high
above the water, exploded behind
the barge of a shower of colorful
lights.
In other parts of the program,
there was laughter. A ripple ran
through the crowd when the soprano
asked each person to turn and take
the hand of the person on his right.
Many followed her suggestion, how
ever, as they sang “Auld Lang Syne.”
As the evening advanced toward
10:30 o'clock, Miss Monroe called
for "The Star Spangled Banner,” as
the closing number. At the last
note, the concert singer called a
brief farewell over the loud-speaker.
Then the lights died down, the
crowd shifted toward the sides and
the canoes moored in the river
shoved off and began to fade away
into the darkness that hung low
over the water.
Huge 'Sing' Cast
Praised by Critic
Bv ALICE F.VERSMAN.
I was assigned rather casually last
night to cover the "sing” from a
“musical angle,” This ls perhaps the
first time on record that a music re
viewer was faced with the problem
of writing about the performance
of 30,000 people. Taking our task
seriously, we considered it from the
formula applied to artists' criticism
which runs something like this—
background, talent and present de
velopment, future possbilities—and
set to w'ork.
As a musical background, the au
dience of last evening showed an
understanding and love for music
that does credit to the education
that the National Symphony and
the other concert attractions of the
winter season have given it. For
talent, the finest, clearest voices ever
heard in communal singing rang
out toward the Virginia shore with
a richness of tone and volume of
sound that cannot be too highly
praised. The future of this singing
audience can be a brilliant one if it
will keep up the good work, practice
together with others and sing al
ways from its heart. The possibili
ties are unlimited. It can achieve
national fame by being a musical
group that will sing in face of all
adversity and be a leader in keeping
the spirit of the Nation free and
untrammeled by smallness of
thought or unworthy ideas. Its pub
lic debut last evening was an aus
picious one and one that should
lead to greater things.
And thanks. Miss Monroe and Mr.
O'Connell, for starting us on a ca
reer.

Brinton, 70, Gives 'Priceless'
Art Group to Philadelphia
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5. — The
public is going to get its first look
at Christian Brinton's collection ol
contemporary European art because
he feels that *'70 is the time of life
when a man who collects treasures
should share them with the world.”
He presented to the Philadelphia
Museum of Art his complete col
lection obtained through contacts
with the artists during personalized
collection tours of Central Europe.
It will go on display starting No
vember 15.
The noted art critic and collector
refused to place a monetary value
on his 160 paintings, 75 drawings,
innumerable wood carvings, deco
rative work, textiles and costumes,
but said that "so far as the educa
tional value is concerned, the collec
tion is priceless.”
The majority of the work is that
of Russian artists. In addition to
the actual art pieces, there are
more than 5,000 books and pam
phlets concerning the artists, many
written by Mr. Brinton, who has
been a prolific commentator on art
since 1908.
"This collection represents 35
years of very fortunate circum
stances.” said Mr. Brinton. "Not
one picture has ever been on the
market. I feel sure that It will
come as a revelation to the public,
as no similar collection has been
shown before.
"I don’t believe that a collection
should belong to one man. especi
ally when the man reaches the age
of 70. It should be placed where
| the people who can profit by It are
I able to enjoy it.”
