PRESIDENT HIILIIS CABINET MEET ,iL?.-..--1 CHIEF EXECUTIVE CONFERS WITH CABINET MEMBERS ,i-i-i President Hirshleifer conferred to- day at the Executive Mansion with the Secretary of the Treasury, Mar- jorie Reinhardt, the Ioint Secretaries of the Interior, Alice and Edith Boehm, and Kenneth Bielfeld, Secre- tary of Agriculture to discuss current problems and issues of the country at large. The chief matter under con- sideration, newspapermen were in- formed, was the further lowering of the federal income tax, and of other direct taxes levied by the federal government, since, even with the sizable reduction made this year in the now rapidly decreasing national debt, the expenses of the govern- ment for the past fiscal year have been reduced thirty percent. Rita Reiskiri, personal secretary to the President, said that the Chief Execu- tive communicated to the Cabinet members the long awaited details of his recent conference with Presi- dent del Pasos of Argentina, at which the two Chief Executives, as- sisted by the United States Secretary of State, Robert Solomon, drew up a list of principles for future co-opera- tion between our two countries. This completes the last of the twenty agreements which the United States has been working to bring about ever since Cordell Hull, former Sec- retary of State, entered upon his duties. It was thought necessary to include some provisions about co- tContinued on P. 43 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASS'N OPENS CONVENTION ,il- Under the auspices of the Ameri- can Medical Association, a cam- paign for funds was begun in Chicago yesterday with a special plea by Doris Freedman, Red Cross head, for a nation-wide drive to aid those caught in the recent Los Angeles earthquake. Miss Freedman reported that conditions are more serious than first believed, and that DODGERS CAPTURE GRID HONORS AGAIN The Brooklyn Dodgers, fightingest team that professional football has seen in years, yesterday took the National League championship for the fourth time in the past five years by defeating the Chicago Bears, 43-0, and at the same time stretched their phenomenal streak to thirty-one consecutive wins. The victory was directly due again this year to a well-balanced team, with a star backfield, sparked by the brilliant passing combination of Hoyle and Hill. Art Hill was transferred from center to back this year, a revolu- tionary move, made necessary by the injury of Taliaferro, who has since retired. Hill took to his new position as a duck takes to water, and incidentally, kept taking passes from Hoyle right under the collective nose of opposing players. Hoyle, of course, has been chucking passes to Brooklyn receivers for the past four years,-and doing a mighty good job. He has had excellent support in the form of Dave Sadofsky, the line plunger who has been con- tinually picking up that extra yard to a first down, much to his oppo- nents' grief. And many of the games, won by one or two points, have gone to the enemy if it were not for the faultless kicking of Dick Wayler, This fellow seems better as the situation tightens. He kicks coolly with opposing linemen all about him. His eighty yard punt from behind his own goal was a classic in itself. And if you doubt whether McCoy Hopson and Frankie Tuccio make the line tough to buck, ask opposing players, because the would to get fContinued on P. 225 the cooperation of all will be neces- sary. After reporting on the state of the stricken city, Treasurer Howard Lieder and Secretary Teanne Gordon publicly pledged all of the Medical Association's facilities to the Red Cross. After the open meeting, the officers, headed by President Arnold Pensig, met with Miss Freedman to fContinued on P. 121 METROPOLITAN MUSEUM FEATURING WEEKLY LECTURES Virginia Sarafianos, foremost wo- man artist in this country, will lec- ture this week at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at an exhibit of some of her most famous paintings, among them being Ephemera, The Child, Sunrise over Brooklyn, and Melee, Although these paintings are well known, and most art class- rooms in the country have copies, this is the first time the originals have been in New York, and doubt- less, many will come to see them, as well as to hear Miss Sarafianos lec- ture in her interesting style. There is some question among art circles as to whether she has created a new school of painting, but no question about her ability. This is the second of a series of lectures to be held at the Met, the first of which was given last week by Anita Minne- man, a leader in the field of impres- sionism. She has been largely responsible for the bringing of im- pressionistic art to the level of understanding of the general art enthusiast. Next week, the well- known portrait painter, Iames Mara- vel, will lecture on his series of studies of our political leaders which he has been working on for several fContinued on P. 31 M.I.T. CHOOSES NEW DEAN On the recommendation of retiring Dean Wallace, the Massachusetts Board of Education today chose Maxwell Rosenlicht to succeed the former as Dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. Rosen- licht, whose theses in the fields of calculus and of relativity have aroused much interest and comment in this country and abroad, said, when interviewed, that his accep- tance would be made with pleasure. Dean Wallace first met Mr. Rosen- licht in Berlin, when Dr. Leonard Swern and Mr. Rosenlicht were working on fourth dimensional pho- tography and its application to fContinued on P. 8l
