DC. SYMPHONY
SEASON NOW
ASSURED
DR.. Mcclellan Says
Union Difficulties
Are Settled

Paths to another season of Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra music
apparently have been cleared, it
was learned today, with the dis
closure by DR.. William Mcclellan
vice president of the National
Symphony Orchestra Association
that all difficulties between the
association and the musicians
union have been arranged" DR.
Mcclellan declared:
Everything has been worked
out. All is in readiness for the
season and all that remains for
completion of plans is the sign
ing of the union contract. The
contracts are in readiness and
await the union signatures"
One Of the difficulties to which
DR.. Mcclellan referred was the
dismissal of George Gaul, person
mel manager of the orchestra, by
the union last spring. The orcheS-
ira association had threatened to
refuse to enter into contractal
relations with the union again if
the union insisted on its expulsion
Of Gaul.
Gaul was reinStated by the
union last Saturday, DR.. McClel-
Ian stated. This was confirmed
by A. C. Hayden, president Of
Local 161, the washington unit
of the American Federation Of
Musicians.
Although details of the season
could not be confirmed. it is ex-
pected that the concert series will
closely pattern that of last win
ter. This would call for regular
Sunday afternoon concerts, eve
ming concerts at mid-week, educa-
tional concerts for the city's high
school students and probably an
extended concert tour.
According to reports, the Or
chestra management is seeking to
build the reputation of the organi-
zation along more national lines
than heretofore. To this end, it
is understood that negotiations
are now under way to present the
orchestra in a larger number Of
cities on the road" than in any
previous season

$74,5OO BOOST.
IS SOUGHT FOR
FAIRGROUNDS
DR.. Mann Also Asks
$38, 700 Rise For
Geological Park

Critical blasts against emer-
gency agencies created by the
Roosevelt Administration were
made to the District Commission
ers by heads of the Fairgrounds
Department and the National
Geological Park in submission Of
their estimates of needs for the
1886 fiscal year budget.
Miss Sibyl Baker, supervisor Of
the Fairgrounds department, was
the most outSpoken critic of the
New Deal agencies. She requested
a $74,500 increase in the depart
ment budget, a step-up from the
current appropriation of $204,300
to $278,800.
Programs Uncertain
Seeking IL additional employees,
including a staff to man the new
Palisades and EdgeWood Play
grounds, Miss Baker told the city
fathers:
"The emergency and the
Works Progress programs un-
dOubtedly have assisted in meet
ing constantly increasing de-
mands, but these programs are
inevitably uncertain, the work
done is poor in quality, the work
ers unable to carry full reSpOn-
Sibility.
"In actual fact the WPA and
the NYA National Youth Ad-
miniStratiOn) programs m AXE
such heavy demands upon the
supervisory staff of the depart
ment that at all times their
energy seems to be deflected
from the regular program to
solve the problems of the WPA
workers."
Mann Asks S3S,7OO More
DR.. William M. Mann, director
Of the National Geological Park,
requested an increase of $38,70O
for the coming year. His esti-
mates totaled $263,700, as against
$225,000 in the current budget.
He asked for $6,10O to pass
around pay raises among en-
ployes, $12,960 to create nine new

HAzEN SEEKING
D. E. BUDGET
REVISION
Holds Expense Of 300
Parks and Courts
Really Federal

Seeking to relieve the District
budget Of an annual 100000
financial burden, Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen today suggested
that the special committee ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, to
study District fiscal relations,
give special consideration to sew
eral agencies of a Federal nature
now supported through local taxes.
Transfer Of expenses of two
senior courts of the District-the
United States Court of Appeals
for the District and the District
Court of the United States for the
District-from the local budget to
that of the Department Of Justice,
was urged by Commissioner Hazen.
Half Million Yearly
If this move. now being studied
by court officials and the Justice
Department, is successful, it will
mean the District will be relieved
of approximately $500,0O0 a year
expense. Supporters of the plan
argue both tribunals are Federal
bodies.
Commissioner Hazen said the
committee also should give conSid-
Grafton to the status of such in
stitutions as the National Zoolog-
ical Park, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
the National Capital Parks office
and the United States Park Police,
whose expenses are now carried
under the District budget.
Parks, Zoo, LOrtOn
To the parks organizations and
police the District contributes an
nually approximately $1,250,000,
and for the Zoo approximately
1925, 900. Commissioner Hazen
said:
"The institutions and others
of similar nature are nation
al parks. The District govern
ment has no say whatsoever in
the administration of the organ
izatiOnS, although each year we
foot the bill for them"
The Commissioner also Sug-
gested that the committee might
give consideration to such items
as expenses Of Federal prisoners,
housed at the District Reforma-
tory, Lorton, Va.

Have you, yourself, ever lived in
Q haunted house?
If either experience has ever

I don't want to be told about
o ghost or a haunted house that

ShiverS and hair-raisings as shut
