average concert seats not more
than $500 people. At most, the
great outdoor amphitheater, the
Hollywood Bowl, where Stokow-
ski made his concert debut in mid
August, will seat and stand some
$4,000 listeners.
In an unprecedented transcon-
tinental tour with his famous or.
chestra, Stokowski recently took
the 100 men and three women on
a six-weeks tour of 30 major
American cities, and was ap-
plauded by 100000 enthusiastic
listeners.
AS one of the pioneer symphony
recorders, Stokowski has been
played millions of times on the
monographs of the world. Scores
of his interpretations of Bach,
Beethoven, Brahms and the other
masters, are on sale. Yet the pur-
chaser Of an expensive concert
ticket or a fine set of records is
the individual who has already
been wooed and won by the spell
Of symphonic music, not the
stranger to its beauties.
And these strangers are the
ones Stokowski is most interested
in reaching.
A Greater Audience
The number of listeners to
big broadcast of fine music on
the radio can be estimated only
with great difficult. Many a
family has the radio set turned
on, or roaring full blast, but not
single listener" in the place.
Father may be sound asleep in
the arm chair, mother gathering
dishes in the kitchen sink, the
son and heir tipping his home
work in the back room, and
daughter in the midst of an in
volved and endless conversation
on the telephone.
So, Stokowski concludes, there
is no emotional compulsion to
focus attention on the music
and the best music reveals it's
beauties only to the attentive ear.
Motion picture audiences, on
the other hand, can be very &C.
curately measured. Throughout
the world each week some 200 mil
lion men, women and children pay
to see-and hear-pictures on the
screen.
These are individuals who are
"all eyes" and "al ears"-who are
keen to catch every nuance, who
are emotionally open to impress
sionS, not distracted by the end
less Interruptions Of daily life.
For such an audience, Mr.. sto-
kowski has chosen to perform the
"Fugue in G Minor one Of the
grandeSt and most enduring Of
his arrangements of the compost
lions of John Sebastian Bach,
master Of masters in the music
Of the Occident.
Technical advance in sound re-
production can fulfill its true
function only when it serves the
needs Of the greatest number Of
people," believes Mr.. Stokowski.
1.-THE coming Of faithful sound re-
production to the magic Of the
motion picture should open a new
field Of achievement for those Of
us who would bring the best music
to the greatest number"

VETERANS HAIL
PREFERENCE
FOR JOBS
Ruling Gives Priority
for PWA and WPA
Works Projects

The decision handed down by
a Philadelphia court yesterday,
giving preference to veterans in
employment on PWA and WPA
projects, was hailed by American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars officials as "a step In the
right direction"
The ruling, from the lips of Fed
eral Judge George A. Welsh, de.
creed that honorably discharged
World War veterans, their wives
or widows, are entitled to prefer
ence over all others on PWA, WPA
and other Government work
projects.
Col. John Thomas Taylor, legis-
lative official of the American
Legion, apprised of the Phila-
delphia decision told The Times:
Contrary to the popular no
tiOn, both Harry Hopkins and
Aubrey williams have ruled
that veterans must exhaust
their borrowing ability on both
bonus and Government insur-
ance before they are eligible for
such employment.
"In q number Of States, nOta-
bly, Massachusetts, and Ne
braska, where soldiers relief
boards have been set up, vet
erans can get neither PWA nor
WPA employment"
Expressing the wish that the
decision would be binding on the
entire country, Colonel Taylor an
nounced that he would seek
congressional support for the
measure.

AIRPORT PLAN
PUT OFF TO
MONDAY
Threats to Shut Port
Withdrawn; Senate
Move Awaited

With Washington Airport cov-
cred with several inches Of slush
and mud, flying was virtually Sus.
pended today, with only one air
line operating out of here, while
Congress and the War Depart
ment were passing the buck" as
to the closing of Military Road.
Several planes attempted to take
off from the field, but were un-
able to clear the ground. A liner
Of the Pennsylvania Lines did get
away, however, bound for Pitts
burgh, and the line planned on
sending another ship off this af-
ternoon.
A number Of transport planes
landed during the morning, but
the quagmire field was too much
for them to take off, the wheels
sticking in the mud and melting
snow as the pilots vainly at
tempted to get away.
Airport Action Waits
In the face OF statements from
the War Department, the Com
merce Department and the man.
agement of the airport that un-
less Congress took some definite
stand on providing additional
safeguards across the road, the
airport would be closed, the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee
yesterday decided to wait until
Monday before acting. The wait
was agreed upon to allow the
Attorney General to deliver an
opinion whether the Federal Gov
eminent has legal right to
control the road,
Shortly after this decision was
reached fear was expressed in
some quarters that the airport
would have to be closed today
because Sam Solomon, manager,
was ready to carry out his threat
to withdraw the guards at 4
o'clock this afternoon.
Agreement Reached
It had been stated several days
ago that il the guards were with.
drawn the Commerce Department
would declare the landing field un-
safe and the transport companies
would have to stop landing their
planes. The Post Office Depart
.ment also was ready to move the
mail depot to Baltimore.
Chairman John j. McSwain, of
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee started to work just before
Congress adjourned for the day
and corralled an agreement from
all interested parties to keep the
guards on the road and the air.
port open as a temporary measure
until Congress can enact the nee
essary legislation for permanent
solution of the, problem.
Guards to Stay
Representative McSwain an.
nounced:
"The highway patrol guards
at the traffic lights on Military
Road will be continued as q
temporary measure, pending
the enactment Of legislation
and the airport will continue
in operation for transport and
mail service. This arrangement
is to meet q temporary emer-
gency and is to continue for
10 days from February Is,
which should be ample time
to provide proper safeguards"
