RUbE[ WILL HEAD
CHEST PUBLICITY
Complete Reorganization of
Unit PIanned-Rotto
Is Vice Chairman.

Laurence E. Rubel has been named
publicity chairman of the Community
Chest and this unit will undergo
complete reorganization, it was an
nounced yesterday.
The publicity unit and the speak
ers' unit will be combined into what
will be known as the educational pub
licity unit
Chairman Rubel has chosen James
Rotto, advertising manager for the
Hecht Co., as vice chairman in
charge of the printed publicity de-
partment and w. w. Wheeler of the
public relations department of the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co.
as vice chairman in charge of the
spoken publicity department Harry
Hites will continue as secretary of
the combined unit.
All three men are thoroughly ex-
perienced in the work of this unit
Mr.. Ruhel headed the publicity unit
last year, executing a publicity cam
paign that was highly praised by all
the officials. Mr.. Rotto handled the
display advertising in manner which
brought commendation from all sides.
at the same time reducing the cost
to the Chest to a minimum Mr..
Wheeler has been affiliated with the
speakers unit in various capacities
and his public relations work with
the telephone company eminently fits
him for the new post.
Plans are under way for a meeting
later this month. at which time the
work of the year will be generally out
lined and a start made toward OBJ
tanning further cooperation from
various organizations in the city. 1t
is planned to have speakers appear
before organizations. not especially on
the topic of the Community Chest. but
rather with educational talks designed
to show the work of the Chest agencies
and by this means give the public a
better idea of Just how contributions
to the Chest are spent
Appointment of H. L. Rust, ir.. as
campaign manager for this year. and
his acceptance, makes it possible for
the educational. publicity unit to get
much earlier start on campaign pub
llclty this year These plans will
not be undertaken until after the new
Chairman and vice chairmen have had
an opportunity to study the situation
and select committee to function
with them

High School Cadets March,
Origin Revealed in Letter
Former Editor of Central High School
RerietU Asked SOusn to Write
Stirring Martial Piece.

1t is long time since the late John
Philip Sousa, local boy who made
good" wrote the High School Cadets
March" Washingtonians must thrill
to its strains who do not know its
title and there are probably as many
more who. knowing its name, yet are
unaware of the fact that it was
dedicated to the high school cadets
of the District.
An original letter now In posses
sion of Anton Heitmuller, 1907 Four
teenth street, written by Sousa in
1910 to Ralph G. Waring, the then
editor Of the Central High School Re-
view. tells how the boys of that
school. In the early 1905, asked the
already famed leader of the United
States Marine Band to write a march
for them and to "be sure to make it
as good as the National Fencibles
March" Leader Sousa's letter, which
is of interest to local residents of this
and former generations: to lovers of
martial music. and especially to the
wearers, past and present, Of the high
school blue, is as follows:
Dear Sir: While ! was conductor
Of the United States Marine Band l
composed and dedicated certain
marches to organizations. When my
National Fencibles' became immense
ly popular, the high school boys Of
that date came to me and asked II
would write march for them, add
ing, and be sure to make it as good
as the National Fencibles."' I told
them that would try my utmost and
the High School Cadets March was
the result.
1T stands, in the estimation Of
both Americans and Europeans. as
one of the best marches I have writ

Right now the .ASCAP is battl- ing in the high courts the charges of the federal government that 1t is a. monopoly, and acts in violation of the, antitrust laws-charges which ASCAP denies in a lengthy memorandum which has come iri- to our hands. In all probability; the question will have to be brought to U. s. Supreme Court be- fore 1t is finally decided.
 { Naturally, the broadcasters, through the National Association of Broadcasters and independent or ganizations, have battled ASCAP all along thesline, threatening sev- eral times to get music of their own and to secure the use of all available non-ASCAP music. Hence, you can be sure, they're praying fervent1y that the government wins it's suit. \
 Our sympathies as they have been since the subject was treated lengthily in this column last win ter, are with the writers and pub- fishers. Radio, no matter how much it is denied, has killed the sale of sheet music, records, piano player rolls, on all of which the writers and publishers depended for their incomes. Then, ironically radio itself adapte dmusic to form the major portions of it's pro- grams, which made the hurt doubly cutting. With sheet music sales at their lowest in modern history radio itselm adapted music to form make 70 per cent, on an average, of their programs musical. Our hope is that, ASCAP wins the bat tie and writers and publishers get a slice of the profits which their music enables the networks tc h .N#.t "

Inside Stuff

Here is something new to worry
 about. Jack Denny, the orchestra leader, has learned from Dr Wolfe ] Adler, eminent scientist of Colum-
 bia University, that radio, com bined with other man-made noises,
 will tend to increase the size of | the human ear. We have become
 a nation of listener-inners, and the added strain on the aural append ages cannot help but enlarge l their area, according to the infor- mation Jack Denny received. The Pickens Sisters, lovely NEG
 harmony trio, will introduce their own orchestra to the airwaves with the broadcast of Saturday, Novem-' Der 17th, at 7:45 p. m., EST. oyer the WIZ network. The formation of their own network was inevit- able in view of the fact Jane Pickens has been writing their Or- chestrations anyhow. She is prob. ably the only woman in the coun- try who can do this, and her mu- sical arrangements are the talk or
 Tin Pan Alley.
 vivienne Segal, who attained re-
 
 | prano, has lowered her vocal range to contralto since she joined l the ranks of radio performers. Miss Segal realized that the micro phone is much kinder to voices of | lower pitch and she took meas ures accordingly. The reslut is she has disclosed one of the richest voices onsthe air.
 Dance music may be accused of arousing the emotions, but, as matter of fact, it is a sedative to city dwelers, according to Don Bestor, orchestra leader. The noises of the city make it's inhabi- | tants more susceptible to speed and rhythm. The business world is
 ruled by quick action. There is
 always a hustle and hustle. When | the New Yorker seeks relaxation, therefore, soft sweet music may get on his nerves. He lacks the patience for 1t. Dance music, on | the other hand, soothes him. Annette Hanshaw is trying to loa cate young woman who has been
 using the name of Patricia Ellis to
 get music from publishers and crash the studios by referring to
 her many recordings made under | that name. The girl is an impos- tor, because Patricia Ellis is one of | the names used by Annette Han | shaw for recording purposes. Buddy Rogers, who has just fin ished his commercial, is playing

One of those little problems that came along to xex WATR studio attaches yesterday afternoon dur Ing iWATR's last broadcast of the day, the late afternoon news bulle- tins.A As guests during our news broadcast were the worlds tallest man. Colonel joseph Finch" who stands eight feet and a quarter Inch tall, and his side kick, the tiny Major Silver Wedding" " who's four and a half feet tall if you count his silk hat.
 The problem to solve was how Go put on the air in quick success sion five foot. eleven inch re- porter, an eight foot giant, and a four foot mite, as well as to have another mike ready for the regu- lar news accounts. It was accom- plished, thanks to the ready clever ness of George Duffy of WATR, who arranged a mike on a pulley rope for the broadcast.
 While the first Democrat
 news bulletins were being
 given over one mike, George
 had the other mike ready for
 the interview, and without
 break, the program switched
 over. The mike was at the
 conventional height for the
 introduction, raised two feet
 for Colonel Finch, sent back
 to normal again, lowered
 almost two feet for the major,
 returned to regular height
 again, and so on, till the tn-
 tervieW over the air was fin-
 ished.
 It got us dizzy for a mo-
 ment or two, the way the mike
 had to be worked like roller
 coaster, and we had n rather busy time trying to follow it
 around. ...
