R0SSLYN LINE
APPROVAL

ROSSLYN, Va, Sept. 25.-With
all necessary equipment ready to
be put into operation over Key
Bridge and into downtown Wash
ington, the Arlington-Fairfax Rail
way Co. yesterday asked the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to
overrule the decision of a joint
board which has recommended
denial of the carriers petition for
permission to transport passengers
and mail into Washington by way
of RoSSlyn.
The railroad line has negotiated
for the purchase of number of
the newly designed auto-railerS
and proposes to carry passengers
over it's regular route until reach
ing RosSlyn, where the cars would
leave the rails and operate as a
bus into downtown Washington,
thus preventing the necessity Of
their passengers having to transfer
to street cars in Rosslyn.
John F. Bethune, attorney for
the railroad company, who filed
the utility's brief with the COM
mission, said in part:
"The report of the board
was based principally on the
premise that there is already
adequate transportation service
between ROsslyn and the Dis
trict, and that, to a large ex.
tent, the service of the appli-
cant in Virginia is duplicated
or paralleled by other carriers.
"Under existing conditions
passengers of the applicant ar
irving at ROSSlyn, either COM
ing to or going from the Dis
trict, are required to transfer
to or from a street car by
traversing a distance from $50
to 300 feet and crossing, day
and night, an unguarde

that II Capital music lovers rally
to the support Of the National
Symphony Orchestra, not only
viii the current quota Of Sunday
mid-Week and students concerts
be duplicated next season, but the
series Of river bank recitalS will be
repeated this summer.
This assurance was given by the
board of directors Of the National
Symphony Orchestra Association
in designating March S to IS for a
campaign to obtain sustaining
fund" of 100000.
River Concerts Promised
Fears that even with realization
Of the 100000 goal it might be
necessary to omit the river bank
concerts which proved so popular
last summer were swept aside by
DR.. william Mcclellan, vice presi-
dent of the board Of directors,
who asserted:
'Tf we get the 100000, you
can bet on the summer con-
certS."
The campaign will be under
direction of Mrs. Walter Bruce
Howe and Mr.. Harold N. Marsh.
both prominent in musical and
professional circles here. The
Orchestra Association now lists
1,700 contributors and TOO mem
bers. In addition, scores Of SYM
pathiZers have done their part
anonymously that Washington
may take its place with other
leading cities in adequate musical
representation. According to DR..
Mcclellan, a few hundred more
contributors can assure the sue
cess of the campaign.
Tour To Be Extended
If the 100000 total is sub
scribed, the already high standard
Of the orchestra'S musical presenta-
tions will be materially enriched
and improved. association officials
pointed out. One factor would be
the continuation Of the weekly pay
basis inaugurated for orchestra
members last year. Another, and
very important development, as eX-
planned by c. c. Cappel, orchestra
manager, would be the likely ex-
tension Of the orchestra's concert
tours through other cities.
According to Manager Cappel,
many Of the cities already have
sought return engagements. The
list includes Boston, Hartford,
