COACH LIN T
WILL QUIT

Abandonment of regular serv-
ice on the de luxe extra fare
Chevy Chase coach line, operated
by the Capital Transit Company
between Chevy Chase and Union
Station, has been ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission eff,
fective April /.
However, the com m i S n
granted the company a request
to operate the line during the
morning and evening rush peri
odS for an indefinite trial period.
A recent checkup by the commits
sion showed this lines patronage
had fallen off to a point of only
two passengers per bus on a full
day operation.
A number of buses will be
taken off the line as a result of
this change and put in operation
on other lines. 1t was estimated
a total of 268 passengers might
be carried during the morning
and evening rush periods.

ORCH f ST R A
FUND NOW
T0PSS45,0O0

More than $45,0O0 realized in
the Today drive Of the National
Symphony Orchestra Association
today spurred on orchestra Off
cialS toward attainment of the
100000 goal which will under
write the Water Gate concerts this
summer and the regular Sunday,
midweek and students recitais
next season.
Many of the committee members
only today have begun to report
returns and it is expected that
during the next month or two the
100000 sustaining fund will be
approximately reached. Among
the more optimistic friends of the
orchestra are former Governor
Ralph q. Brewster of Maine; Mint
Director Nellie Tayloe Ross, for
mer governor of Wyoming; Presi,
dent Cloyde Heck Marvin Of George
Washington University; Corcoran
Thorn, president of the symphony
association, and DR.. William NC
Clellan, president of the Potomac
Electri. Power Association.
Among the native Washington
ianS in the National Symphony
Orchestra is Isaac Minovich, 26-
year-old vioIinist who has ap-
peared frequently about the Capt.
tai with chamber groups and
whose recitals before the Friday
Music Club and the D. A. R.
have gained him considerable
renown.
Mr.. Minovich was only years
old when he began to study the
violin, and when he was l6, a
pupil of Josef Kaspar, he went
to Philadelphia where he was
awarded second prize in a COM
petition of violiniStS from all Sec
tions of the country.
A member of the symphony
orchestra since it's organization,
Mr.. Minovich is no stranger to
the radio and is frequently heard
on commercial programs from the
local stations. He also plays at
hotels and clubs.
With his pianist sister, Dora M.
Minovich, the young violinist is
well known as a recitalist, and
among those who have enjoyed
his performances, Minovich counts
the late President Coolidge and
Samuel Gompers.
Mr.. Minovich, who lives at 3012
Rodman st. N. W., attended JEFF
ferson Junior and Tech High
Schools.

Negro folk opera, "Porgy and
BesS," by George Gershwin.
opened a weeks engagement last
night at the National Theater with
the capacity audience showing ap-
probation with thunderous ap-
plause.
Underlying the whole work
there is a sincerity of portrayal
that would be hard to better.
There are intense dramatic scenes,
plenty of fun, and true character
delineation. From the musical
standpoint, the only serious flaw
seemed to be in the recitatives in
the first scene of the first act. The
lyrics for these phrases were some
what awkward. making, the only
moments that were not con-
vincing.
The religious fervor in Serena's
room when she bemoans the de-
parture of her man, singing my
Mans Gone Now" and again when
the inhabitants of Catfish Row
huddle together in fear of the
storm, singing "Oh, de Lawd
Shake de Heaven" furnish scenes
that are most true to the peoples
depicted.
The work song, 1T Takes a Long
Pull to Get There" is another most
characteristic bit of folk music.
Porgy's son, Il Got Plenty O.
Nuttin'," was the song hit of the
opera. sung by the noted Washing
ton singer, Todd Duncan.
The music, both vocal and in
strumental, while not always di-
rectly using Negro themes, was
inspired by Gershwin's observation
of a section of Charleston, S. c..
where the scene of the opera Is
laid. The only stilted portions
of the music were in the aforemen-
toned first scene, when there
seemed to be a touch of imitation
of European opera.
"Porgy and Bess" must be re-
garded as an opera distinctly sepa-
rate from the European type of
opera. The less one tries any such
comparison, the quicker will come
the realization that here is dis
tinct contribution to the musical
art of America. A composer reared
and trained in Europe could no
more have written such a true-to-
life production than could 8 white
cast portray it.

the past three years. DR.. Hans
Kinder has given the first public
hearings of some of these works

them of especial interest to the
audience. Mr.. Stringfield's "Ne-

Mr.. Stringfield is we'll known
as a conductor and composer,
having organized and conducted
the famous North Carolina Sym

was regional director of the Fed

In his compositions, Mr.. String
field has drawn more on the folk
songs If the southern mountain
whites, where he believes the
true Anglo-Saxon folk songs have
been handed down untouched by
outside influences. Mr.. String
field believes that music is the
basis of all art and indeed of
many human activities. Once
when he was asked where he got
the best training for conducting,
he replied that it was obtained
while playing shortstop on the
baseball diamond. He claims that
anyone who performs on a mu-
sical instrument is also quicken
ing his every mental and physi-
cal abilities to better meet all
problems of everyday life.

Striking evidence Of the competition
for livestock which exists between in
terror markets in the Corn Belt is pic
tured in the map above which shows
the situation as it exists in Iowa and
Southern Minnesota.
The large dots show the IA major
interior packing plants, and the small
dots the 70 concentration points and
buying stations. The radiating lines
indicate the points from which hogs
are sold direct to these interior mar
ket outlets.
Overlapping lines reveal the compe-
tition which exists. The map does not
show the competition from central
markets, from the more than 600 re-
tail dealers and small packing plants
which slaughter livestock, nor the
competition from packers in other
States that is available to producers
in Iowa and Minnesota who sell direct
to those markets. If these were added,
the map would be too black to read.
Competition of much the anne ma
ture exists between direct markets in
other Corn Belt States. OF interest in
this connection is the following quo
tation from U.S.D.A. Miscellaneous
