KGRSO PRIGRANSSRD Drive Short of $100,000 Goal, but Schedule Will Be Carried Out. Although still short of the $100,000 sustaining fund, there seems to be | littie doubt that the National Sym- phony Orchestra will participate in | an enlarged program next season, In announcing that the drive has not_gone over the top, Dr. William MsClellan, co-chairman of the Gen- eral Campaign Committee, said he felt safe in saying the program out- lined for the orchestra would be carried out, The new schedule will include a series of sunset concerts this Summer near the Lincoln Memorial, and a group of Winter and students’ concerts. Committees to Continue Work. | At a luncheon meeting in the Carl- | ton Hotel yesterday, marking the close of the official campaign, Dr. McClellan pointed out that the various commit- tees had promised to continue work- ing quietly until the entire sum had been secured. It also was announced that the | Carlton headquarters of the Sym- phony would be discontinued and all future activities centered at the or- chestra’s office in the Woodward Building. Committee chairmen will have another luncheon meeting April 16 for further reports of progress. Lawrence Rubel, chairman of the Publicity Committee, reported that all | the newspapers and radio stations had co-operated in a most gratifying way | in the campaign and that his commit- tee’s success was due to the co-opera- tion of the newspapers.

During the Senate hearings, it be- came known today, the Senators dis- cussed a plan to create a new office | of general superintendent of hospitals, with indications that Dr. Edgar A. Bocock, superintendent of Gallinger, would be given this rank and a new | superintendent selected for Gallinger. The text of the bill does not indicate whether this plan is to be carried out. In the Water Department the larg- | est increase was $120,250, for laying a main from Eleventh and Kenyon | streets to Seventeenth and Taylor | streets. | An important Senate amendment | which does not figure in the increased | total of the bill, makes available an unexpended balance of a prior appro- priation of $150,000 to continue the reclamation and development of Ana- costia Park. The Senate allowed the Public Utilities Commission an increase of $25,000 for personnel.

Moylan, who was backed by the Cur- ran machine. The machine was hard-pressed in other city elections. Jackson must meet the Republican nominee, Blanchard Randall, jr, on election day in May. The third party movement took heart in Wisconsin where the Progres- sives elected two more State Senators. This brings the Progressive within one vote of the Democratic numbers in that branch. In the House, the Progressives have a wide margin of control anyway. The elections were interpreted as an indorsement of Gov. Phillip La Follette and the Progressive party. Michigan's election Monday, in which the Republican candidates were successful with a very few exceptions, was hailed here today by Republicans as indicating a swing-back to the G. O. P. in the Middle West. “Michigan led the Republican pa- rade last November,” said Senator Vandenburg. “We continue to for- ward march. Sanity is convalescing.” Senator Vandenburg was re-elected on the Republican ticket in Michigan last Fall and the Republicans re- gained several seats in the House from the Democrats at that time and also elected a Republican governor.

Zion City, Ill, Control Passes From ““Overseer’s” Hands. ZION CITY, Ill, April 3 (#).—Op- ponents of Wilbur Glenn Voliva beat their victory drum today with the scepter he wielded more than a quar- ter of a century, while the general overseer of this religious colony found new reason to observe that “the world is flat.” The city passed irom Voliva’s con- trol yesterday with the election of People's party candidates to seven of eight offices.

The Senate committee struck from the bill a House provision which would have prevented the District from using printing apparatus acquired only recently by requiring all work to Office.

During the hearings, there was some discussion among the Senators as to the possibility of writing into the ap- propriation bill & new proviso that would seek to make taxicab liability insurance compulsory, but no action | along this line was taken by the | committee. 15 Die in Barn Fire.
