AID TO FINNS
FEARED KILLED
Congress Blocks President's
Proposal to Aid Victims
of Red Russians
WOULD INVOKE ACT
Washington, Jan. 17 Presi
dent Roosevelt's plan for financial
aid to Finland appeared today to
have been sentenced to death by
Congress.
Federal Loan Administrator
Jesse H. Jones will explain the
proposal to the Senate banking
committee this morning, but in
formed senators said they doubted
that it would reach a vote in eith
er the Senate or the House.
The President suggested that
the Export-Import Bank's revolv
ing fund might be increased to
permit extension of credit to Fin
land for nonmilitary purchases.
Charges that such a step would be
"unneutral" were made imme
diately, and even friends of the
administration urged "extreme
caution" in dealing with the prob
lem.
Simultaneously, there were Re
publican and Democratic efforts
to have the neutrality act invoked
against Finland and Russia, and
against Japan and China. Mr.
Roosevelt replied at his press con
ference yesterday by stating that
the act had not been invoked be
cause there had been no formal
declaration of war.

DOUGHTON NOT
TO RUN AGAIN
Veteran Member of House
Will Retire at End of
Present Term
ENDS ON DECEMBER 31st
Washington, - Jan. 16 —Repre-
sentative Robert L. Doughton, of
the ninth North Carolina district,
and one of America's elder states
men, announced late this after
noon his fixed and final purpose
to relinquish his public duties at
the expiration of his present
term, December 31, 1940.
The announcement was con
veyed to the public through a
formal statement made available
to the press in the house press
gallery. Mr. Doughton's col
leagues were unaware of his im
pending retirement, although they
have understood for some time
that it was a step he had long
pondered.
Representative Doughton, 75
years of age in November, was
very strongly disinclined to ask
re-election two years ago, but
President Roosevelt, upon being
apprised of the plans of the
North Carolina member, and
having in mind revenue and kin
dred legislation then demanding
attention, prevailed upon him to
serve through the present Con
gress.
The President indicated this |
afternoon, when questioned at I
his regular press conference, that I
he is not yet fully reconciled to;
the idea of Mr. Doughton's plan- ]
ned retirement. Mr. Roosevelt
said he would be very sorry if the \
North Carolina member goes |
through with it, because, as he,
explained, he would hate to lose
him out of the house. The Presi- j
dent added that Mr. Doughton's j
services had been of great value
to the Congress.

PADEREWSKI
When Paderewski, the great
Polish pianist, was 26 years old,
. he had an unexpected bit of good
I luck. He met the most disting
■ uished physician in Warsaw, a
. man of 70—the kind of man he
longed to meet. This man was
, famous and rich, but, more im
• portant, he was a man of in
, fluence, a man who could aid a
[ struggling young musician on his
way up in the world. Paderewski
, would now be able to meet other
famous people through this cele
brated doctor.
Paderewski's father had been
seized by the Cossacks and put in
prison. The family did not have
enough to eat. Young Paderews
ki did not have enough clothes to
keep him warm. But the turning
point in his life had come; he
could see light ahead.
The doctor invited Paderewski
to his home, where Paderewski
discovered that the doctor had an
i o/erwhelming love of Mozart. He
I was fanatically devoted to the
great composer, and when he
found how well young Paderews
ki could play Mozart, he was de
lighted. Ah, a discovery! He
would introduce him to his circle
of rich and powerful friends.
The doctor would sit spellbound
as Paderewski played, and the se
lection over, would leap to his
feet and exclaim:
"Mozart is divine. No one has
ever written such wonderful
music as Mozart. No one will
ever write music that can com
pare to Mozart."
Paderewski and the renowned
doctor were making splendid pro
gress. But there was one catch.
Paderewski knew only three or
four Mozart compositions. His
repertoire was running out. He
could not go on playing the same
pieces over and over.
And he wanted so much to give
pleasure to the doctor! Sudden
ly an idea came to him. He might
compose a piece in imitation of
Mozart and play it to the doctor.
But, no, that idea was ridiculous.
But maybe x 4t wasn't. Anyway, he
would try!
In his rooming house he sat
down at the piano and improvised
a.minuet, worked diligently, re
peating the melody over and over,
and finally got it into shape. He
went back to the doctor and the
doctor seated himself 'to his his
beloved Mozart, when Paderewski
played his own composition in
fear and trembling.
The doctor leaped to his feet.
"Oh, Mozart! There never will be
another like you. You are wonder- ,
ful." Then Paderewski told the
truth. The doctor was flabber
gasted. But the music was splen
did no matter who had composed
it. Paderewski's minuet, com
posed through sheer necessity,
has become world famous.
Padereswki had not known that
he could compose in the style of
Mozart. He never even dreamed
he could do it. But when it
seemed necessary to him, he did
