MUSIC LOVERS RUMANIA MAY J0IN NEW TARIFF UNION Summoning of Titulescu in Cabinet Crisis Held to Pre- sage Link With Germany. Subscribed ‘With more than $35,000 already sub- scribed to the guaranty fund of the National Symphony Orchestra of Wash- ington, announcement was made yes- terday by Mrs. Wilson-Greene, pro- spective manager of the new orchestra, of a partial list of those who have sub- scribed to the project to give Washing- ton its own symphony. A total of $77,500 will be required to organize and maintain, under Hans Kindler's leadership, an orchestra of 75 musicians for one year. Not all of this amount need be guaranteed, as part of the expense will be met with box office receipts from concerts, it was stated, but a sum in the neighborhood of $50,000 must be realized by June 1 if the or- chestra i to become a reality this com- ing season. Those who have already subscribed to the guaranty fund are Mrs. Adolph C. Miller, Mrs. H. A. Strong, Miss Alice Clapp, Mrs. Karl Klemfim. tM;i. Wlfllm‘e:r May Join Tariff Union. Bruce Howe, Frank J.

The cabinet crisis in Rumania, which under ordinary circumstances would have been unnoticed in Washington, is attracting & good deal of attention to- day in official and diplomatic circles. Nicholas Titulescu, Rumania’s ablest diplomat, has been summoned from London by King Carol and is to be in- trusted with formation of a concentra- tion cabinet. It is believed here that if Titulescu can overcome the internal political difficulties—he belongs to no political faction—the orientaticn of the Rumanian foreign policies may be con- siderably revised. Appeal Sent Out. ‘The appeal to guarantors which isy expected to make possible the formation this year of Washington's own sym. phony orchestra, was sent out to sev- | eral hundred prominent Washingtonian residents who are interested in the| project by an organization committee | composed of Walter Bruce Howe, Nich- | olas Longworth, Speaker of the House: | George Hewitt Myers, Corcoran Thom PFurthermore, Prance seems to be re- luctant to help Rumania economically by purchasing her raw materials. Only recently the French government has contracted to buy a substantial quantity of oll and gasoline from Russia, al- though the Rumanians offered these products, of which they have a con- siderable overproduction, at a much lower price than the Russians. All these facts have produced an un- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO PLEDGE $35.000 FOR D. C.

The opportunity to obtain Mr. Kindler's services as a conductor is ome.of the principal reasons for and justifications of the present undertaking. The per- sonnel of the orchestra and its leader- ship promises performances of first-class musical merit. 2 “A Season of Twenty-four Concerts— During the season 1931-32, the plan is to give eight sypmhony, eight popular and eight children’s concerts during a season of 16 weeks. A symphony con- cert in one week will be followed by a popular and a children's concert the next week throughout the season, The schedules will be arranged to avoid in- terference with the desirable visits of orchestras from other citles. Cost Put at $77,500. “The Cost-—~The total expense for the 24 concerts has been calculated not to exceed $77,500. We have examined in detail the estimates of expense and re- ceipts, and belleve them to be compre- hensive and conservative. The group- ing of three classes of concerts one season makes possible the children's concerts, which are of the greatest im- portance to the conmunity and which would otherwise be impossible on ac- count of expense. By the steady em- ployment of the musicians throughout the season, the cost of each performance is much less than otherwise would be possible. For all these reasons the plans for the performance are sound, and the scope and expense are well adjusted to the needs and means of the community. “Business Organization—This will be the simplest type consistent with ade- quate management and supervision. Mr. Robert V. Fleming, president of the Riggs National Bank, will act as treas- urer. The subscribers to the guaranty ' fund will be represented by a finance committee consisting of Mr. Walter Bruce Howe, Mr. George Hewitt Myers, Mr, Corcoran Thom and Mr. Myron Whitney. A group of ladies wiil be au- thorized by the Finance Committee to assist in gathering subscriptians to the guaranty fund. The concerts will-be under the exclusive management of Mrs, ‘Wilson-Greene. “Checks should be drawn to the or- der of Robert V.

By the Assoctated Press. ‘The icy trall over which il luck dogged the Greely Arctic explorers of nearly half a century ago may be re- traced next year by a private American expedition. John A. Fleming, acting director of the Carnegle Institution’s terrestrial magnetism department, sald today plans for American participation in the second polar year program of interna- tional scientific investigation include re- occupation of Fort Conger (Lady Pranklin Bey), on frosen Ellesmere land. Rescued by Schiey. It was from this lonely white land that Adolphus Washington Preely and a little party of explorers were rescued by Comdr. W. 8. Schley in June, 1884, after two other relief efforts had failed. “We are hopeful an expedition may be arranged through private assistance to supplement the Government's part in the program,” Fleming sald. “If plans go through, Fort Conger might be occupied for two years. “It will be expensive and will involve more risk than the other part of the program, because the expedition would be dependent entirely on itself in this absolute isolation. But it would be par. ticularly desirable because of the loca- tion with respect to stragetic, geopraph- ic and magnetic points.” Plans for American participation in the polar year progrem, call for an ex- pedition to College, Alaska, 3 miles north of Fairbanks, where an auroral station is maintained by the Alaska College. 26 Nations Co-operate. Twenty-six nations have promised to co-operate in the second polar year favorable impression in Rumania. Many Rumanian politiclans argue that Ger- many seems to be the only natural outlet for their raw materials, and if the country could export her wheat, her |{, oil and her cattle duty free to Ger- many the econcmic situation in Ru- mania would improve considerably. King Carol is reported to favor that move. Carol, according to reliable re- mm. has settled down to work. After many adventures and stormy past he has become a hard and earnest worker and is doing his utmost to save his country from the great financial and economic difficulties which are handicapping her progress. Compared to Edward VIL His people compare him with the late King Edward of England, who, after a tempestuous youth, took his role seri- ously after he came to the throne and became an able leader. Carol, it is stat-d, shares the view of those Rumanian economists that Ger- many is the natural aliy of Rumania in time of ce; that Germany can ab- sorb easily, as in pre-war days, the en- tire Rumanian overproduction of raw materials, and can provide Rumania cheaper manufactured products than any other country in Europe. e Finally, in case of trouble with Rus- sia, Rumania can expect mors heip from the Austro-German bloc, if she b d that bloc, too, than if she re- ed allied to Pranc:. It Titulescu accepts the premiership it is believed in well informed quarters here he will proceed without delay to discuss with the Berlin administration the possibility of Rumania joinirg the Austro-German tariff union. will not do anything rash to alienate France's friendship.

BY JOHN GUNTHER. By Cable to The Star. VIENNA, April 6.—Once again, just 85 in the fervid days following his dramatic return to Bucharest, King Carol of Rumania 15 taking the chief role in the Rumanian political drama, again with the tenacious, butcher- faced leader of the National Peasants’ party, Julius Maniu, as his antagonist. King Carol's candidate for the new premier is Nicholas Titulescu, present Minister in London. He is Rumania’s best known non-party diplomat and is distinguished for many services at Geneva and Paris. Mr. Titulescu has been ordered from Londen to Bucharest today and Mr. Maniu also is leaving his refuge on the Italian Riviera for a return to the capital. The Easter holi- days ar: paralyzing the negotiations so far, but King Carol is expected to re- ceive all comers Wednesday. Mr. Maniu is said to want to return to power. His deputy, George Mirones- cu, whose cabinet crashed BSaturday, has simply been keeping his seat warm for him. Since the Maniu party holds five- sixths of the seats in Parliament, Mr. Maniu is unwilling to consent to_the coalition government that King Carol wants. Yet economic affairs are in such a terrible state in Rumania that the King feels himself fully justified in demanding a change. The salaries of thousands of officials, functionaries and clerks are in arrears and most of the proceeds of the recent loan went to cover outstanding foreign obligations. King Carol thinks the best hope is to forget party politics and personal Jealousies and unite all leaders as one team under a neutral like Mr. Titulescu. Only last month, in fact, Mr. Titulescu | visited Rumania at King Carol's re- quest and looked over the ground with the idea of taking the job. But after two or three looks he declined the post and returned to the calmer vantage point of London Now King Carol will urge Mr. Titu- lescu to make a new attempt. Mr. Titulescu wants guarantees of a reasonably long tenure of office. He does not want to head a mere stop- §ap ministry, like the last, King iimself helped to pro- voke the crisis which three Mr. Miro- nescu out. It was at least his foremost henchman, Mihail Manollescu, who made the g ment tumble, and Mr. Manoilescu would hardly have acted without King Carol's knowledge. (Copyright, 1931.) SPECIAL!
