Biddle, | Among U. S. Workers And Businessmen $107,600 Required To Assure Concerts Here Next Season workers and to business and profes- sional men of Washington to sup- port the National Symphony Or- chestera’s 10th annual fund campaign during its last two days has been made by the heads of the Government and of the Business Oommimu—l'%; The drive, of which A. P. E. Horn is general chairman, is scheduled to close at noon tomorrow, by which time $107,600 must be if the orchestra is to continue season. Reason for the a) that dur- ing the first six days of the drive the Government Committee ob- tained only 34 per cent of its quota, and the business and professional group raised only 3541 per cent of its quota. Both these amounts are considerably below those raised by the other seven committees soliciting funds for the orchestra. Federal Worker Urged to Help. Urging the Government worker to help his committee raise its part of the sustaining fund, Mr. Noble said today, “The Government work- er is apt to consider himself a non- resident of Washington and conse- quently immune to appeals of a civic nature. But the National Sym- phony, both through its concerts in Constitution Hall and particularly through its summer concerts'at the Water Gate, contributes so greatly to the enjoyment of the Government worker while he is in Washi that he can il afford to neglect its present need.” Although the commercial value to Washington of the National Symphony Orchestra has been pointed out throughout the drive, Mr. Hill said today he was frankly disappointed in the response from business men to the orchestra’s ap- peal for funds. “The fact remains that'the pres- ence of a major symphony orches- tra here is a great factor in attract- ing both tourists and residents to Washington. It's true, too, that the National Symphony gives employ- ment to 80 musicians, and that the National Symphony Orchestra As- sociation actually spends more than $200,000 with Washington enter- prises each year. I can't believe that these imvortant facts will con- tinue to be ignored. I hovoe that they won't be and that the Business and Professional Committee will make a better showing at the final | report luncheon on Thursday.” Vice Chairmen Active. Mr. Hill is assisted in his work | with the Business and Professional | Committee by four vice chairmen: Ruby A. Black, Margaret A. Black- istone, Bert M. Sarazan and James W. Hardey. An elaborate organization has been set up by the Government commit- BRAINS SUPPORT SYMPHONY DRIVE—Shown broadcasting last night for The Star Dollar Club, to assure that Washington will continue to enjoy its National Symphony Orchestra, are Charles W.

British Arms Plant Plans Cabarets to Speed Production By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 15.—To make night work more attractive and step up production, one big Midlands munitions plant an- nounced today it would stage cabaret shows during the em- ployes’ midnight lunch hour. Two Government Officials Will Speak for Symphony Steelman and Carmody Will Join Dollar Club Broadcasts Today Two Government officials planned to come to the N. B. C.-Star Dollar Club today, joining the parade of notables which yesterday included Secretary of Labor Perkins. The Federal officials are John R. Steelman, director of the Labor De- partment’s Conciliation Service, and Administrator John Carmody of the Federal Works Agency. Beatrice Landheer-Roes was to give a violin solo on the 3:05 pm. broadcast from the Dollar Club at 728 Fourteenth street N.W. the program in which Mr. Steelman was to take part. The broadcast was scheduled for Station WMAL. Scheduled to be with Mr. Carmody on the 5 pm, broadcast from the Dollar Club over Station WRC are delegations from the Calvert Paro- chial School and the Girl Scouts. Songs by the Glee Club of the Chevy Chase Women’s Club are to be & featured part of the program. Secretary Praises Orchestra. Urging the audience to keep in mind that the National Symphony Orchestra is Washington’s . own, Secretary Perkins said the orchestra was “a credit to all who live in Washington and as a truly national symphony is entitled. to generous support and encouragement. “More than 200,000 persons heard the orchestra this year,” Secretary Perkins sald. “In addition it has introduced symphony music to thou- sands of school children and pro- chestra. All this munity contribution so valuable that we should exert every effort to raise the fund necessary to keep the National Symphony Orchestra here for the benefit of residents, visitors and the Clpl:ll City metl;." S g during another broad- mtpe“m from Dollar Club headquar- dences of civilization, the most ex- pressive of the emotional and in- tellectual culture of the period. zation with a full realization of its meaning. The work that the Na- tional Symphony has done in con- nection with school concerts and the musical education of the younger generation is part of this job. We are all concerned.” Lee D. Butler, sponsor of the Busi- ness and Professional Committee for the drive, who also spoke, said that the city’s business men feel the symphony is one of the things which make Washington a good city in which to live, “When the standards of civiliza- tion tremble,” he said, “we want to help keep our civilization alive, and support of the symphony or- chestra is one way to help.” John J. Har, a member of the Catholic University student com- mittee collecting for the symphony campaign, came to the Dollar Club to report that his committee was making personal calls on all mem- bers of the facully and student body. He predicted Catholic Uni- versity this year would far exceed its symphony contributions of pre- vious years. Artists appearing on the pro- grams yesterday included Lillian Evanti, who sang; Howard Mitchell, first cellist with the National Symphony Orchestra, and the Girls’ Glee Club of the Y. W. C. A. music department. Committee.—Star Staff Photo.
