and There
in the Realm Of
Broadcastins
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

Good old Maestro Goldman!
What a band leaoer he is!
If anybody can step into the
late John Philip SouSa's boots
it's the white-haired New York
band leader. He has a band
that, with the possible exception
of Arthur Pryor's. is the most
outstanding organization OF its
kind in the country.
And as a composer of stirring
marches, we doff our chapeau to
him.
His "On the Mall" is as New
Yorkese as the smell of the Sub
way. the Broadway nightmare or
a Bronx apartment house.
Goldman has been a prime
favorite with radio audiences for
several years. His annual sum-
mer concerts, broadcast by N.BC.
from the campus of New York
University. are something to can
Gel bridge battles to hear.
At his opening concert, June
IA, Goldman's band will play sew
eral features never before pre-
sented over the air. This year
he is discarding wood clarinets,
and his "woodwind section" will
use recently-developed all-metal
instrument. Goldman also will
have his brass section equipped
with bell-front alto horns, made
under his own supervision and
giving an unusual quality of tone.

CONSTRUCTION
ILOAN URGED BY.
ENGINEERS

NEW YORK, May 10 U.SJ.
Fifteen thousand members of the
American Society of Civil En-,
gineers are unified in their advo-
cacy of a national program of
public construction work as q
means of relieving unemploy-
ment.
Colonel Herbert S. Croker,
president of the society, has
named a committee headed by
John P. Hogan, consulting engin-
eer of New York, to urge before
Congress the advisability of en-
acting legislation to make this
program effective through Fed
eral financing.
Arthur S. Tuttle, of New York.
vice president of the society,
pointed out today that engineers
throughout the country have
been viewing with alarm the
shrinking volume of construction
work the past few years.
A vast public works program,
resolutions adopted by the society
point out, will restore the con-
sumer'S will and capacity to buy
and lead to business recovery
through the resumption of trade.
