The evenings on which the concerts are to be held and the hours of each have not yet been finally decided upon, Finnan said, and these and other de- tails will be ironed out later. The problem of a barge, such as was used by the National Symphony Orchestra last year, remains to be solved. ‘The cost of offering the public a serles of Summer concerts at the Water Gate is understood to be around $25,000. Neither Finnan nor the Mul- likin group made public any detailed financial statement of the Washington Summer Concerts Association. After the conference yesterday, Fin- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE nan’s office authorizea this statement: “The office of National Capital Parks has announced that a permit for symphony concerns at the Water Gate has been issued to the Wash- ington Summer Concerts Association. The office of National Capital Parks regrets that there has been some de- lay in making this announcement but feels confident that the citizens of the District will be happy with the prospects of another series of Summer concerts at this location. “The park office has taken every means to keep good faith with the various individuals and agencies in- terested in this Summer program of music and has adopted as a course of procedure a policy that would in- sure a complete Summer program of a character and quality commensurate with the setting and with the prece- dent established last year. “C. Marshall Pinaan, superintendent of the National Capital Parks, after a conference with Mr, Thomas J. Mulli- kin and Mr. Jacques Posell of the ‘Washington Summer Concerts Asso- ciation announced that the park of- fice would extend the same co-opera- tion to the newly-formed group as was given last year to the National Symphony Orchestra Associaton. The park office will arrange with Mr, Mullikin the matter of seating ar- rangements, police protection, traffic control and other phases of the con- certs in which the park office is con= cerned. Certain details regarding the arrangements for barge, amplifica- tion and illumination have not as yet been definitely worked out, but will be announced to the geeral public at a later date.” Dr. Hans Kindler, conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra, will not conduct any of the concerts. His refusal was contained in the follow- |ing cable sent from Europe, where he [is vacationing, to C. C. Cappel, man- ager of the orchestra: “Must refuse in justice to Washing- ton public and my own vision to con- duct what association considers will be inferior Summer concerts if restric- tions are enforced.” Wire Walker, 61, In Hospital After First Fall of Life “Dean’ of Profession Drops 40 Feet at Night Carnival. By the Associated Press. ASHTABULA, Ohio, June 20.—In the silence of a hospital room, O. K. Stewart, 61, struggled tonight to sur- vive the bugaboo of high-wire walk- ers—the first fall, “A performer like me only falls once,” said the man who claimed to be dean of his profession. Stewart’s career of 47 years as a wire walker probably ended, hospital attendants said, when he plunged 40 feet from his precarious cable onto a band stand in the midst of a night carnival performance. ‘Two thousand spectators saw the cable slacken under his nimble feet. The veteran battled grotesquely in the artificial light to maintain his balance, The awestruck throng gasped as the entertainer fell. “Possible skull fracture, compound fracture of the left arm, fracture of the right arm and head lacerations,” | the hospital reported. | Stewart claimed he became “cham- pion high-wire walker” at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1907, when he negotiated a wire 260 feet long suspended 120 feet in the air at the dedication of a monument | to President McKinley.

ROME, June 21 (Sunday) ®).— News of the lifting of the arms em- bargo against Italy by Fresident Roosevelt reached Rome too late to elicic official comment, but it met an enthusiastic welcome in press circles. It was believed to presage a new era in Italo-American good feeling and trade, but most Italians viewed the step important also because they believed 1t would furnish the necessary spark for similar action on the part of South and Central American states, —_— BODIES “IDENTIFIED” Believed Those of Captain and .
