By the Associated Press. The problem of determining when a musician becomes an artist is worrying the House immigration committee. Joe W. Webber, president of the American Federation of Musicians, in testifying yesterday before the com- mittee in favor of the Johnson bill to restrict the entrance of musicians as artists to those who can qualify under the definition, classified an artist as one whose skill and genius were sufficient to make him an independent attraction. Webber and Samuel T. Ansell, counsel for the federation, said that at present any person who could claim to make a living by playing a musical instrument was being admitted into this country under this exemption in the immigra- tion act. In addition, Ansell said, Jjugglers, pantomimists and other per- formers were admitted under the term of artists. ‘Webber said that the foreign musicians entering the country outside the quota were throwing American players of employment, as they were willing to accept lower wages. The committee decided to name a subcommittee to work out a definition for the word. SORORITIES SCORED.
