many active workers as there are prizes we should
have twice as many entered there thus far
The Campaign is just getting organized and only
few in the list have actually started by turning
in their first subscriptions. This is only natural how

Cittelson, Concert Master
Of Symphony, Resigns Post
accepts Similar Position
in BaltimOre-ActiOn
Is Surprise.

Frank Gittelson, concert master of
the National Symphony Orchestra, has
resigned his post to become concert
master of the Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra, according to an announce
ment last night by Frederick R. Huber,
municipal director of music in Balti-
more.
Gittelson, considered one of the fore
most violin soloists in America, had
occupied the first chair in the National
Symphony Orchestra for several years.
He succeeded Henri Sokolov, the or
chestra's first concert master.
His resignation came as a distinct
surprise to C. c. Cappel, orchestra
manager, and officials of the Orchestra
Association. Cappel, DR.. William p.
Mcclellan, president of the associa-
tion, and Walter Bruce Howe, secre-
tary. said they had heard nothing"
about it.
Cappel explained Gittelson's present
contract with the orchestra expired at
the end of the past Winter concert sea-
son. He refused to comment further
on the resignation other than to say,
Il don't know what to think about it,
He said it will be up to DR.. Hans
Kinder to name Gittelson's successor.
The conductor is in Europe at present.
John E. Birdsell, secretary of the
Musicians Protective Union, with
which the Orchestra Association has
been deadlocked for several months in
dispute over two labor problems,
said Gittelson's resignation will be a
great loss TO the symphony here. He
will be hard to replace"
Outside OF this new development,
there has been no apparent change in
the situation confronting the Or
chestra Association and the union.

ey the Associated Press.


With a study of legislative interests
of the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. completed, Communications
Commission investigators yesterday
mapped plans for an intensive study
of its large-scale financial transac-
tions.
Commissioner Paul A. Walker, di-
recting the investigation, said hear
ings this week would be devoted to a
scrutiny of A. T. & T. financial op-
erations. Data on these had been
procured by F. c. C. accountants
working in the companys New York
offices, he said.
The evidence on the attention the
S5.O00,0 100000 utility gave to legisla-
ton was presented the commission in
A. T. & T. exhibits supplied at the
request of Samuel Becker, special at
torney in the F. c. c. inquiry of the
company.
Among other things, these pur-
ported to show that attorneys in New
York had examined thousands Of bills
introduced in State Legislatures and
249 congressional measures since
1919 to determine their possible effects
on the company.
Cite Lawyers Reports.
Lawyers for operating companies
throughout the country were de-
scribed as having made reports to
New York headquarters on the prog
ress of these bills in State law-mahng
bodies. The bills ranged from pro-
posed blue sky laws to measures set
ting up zoning regulations. Regard
ing Security Exchange legislation, a
memorandum to J. H. Ray, general
A. T. & T. solicitor, said the company's
position was that "our securities
should be exempted from registra-
ton"
Another exhibit contained a copy
of a letter from J. F. Krizek, general
attorney for the Wisconsin Telephone
Co., in which he told R. T. Holt, A.
T. & T. counsel in New York, that
bill in the Wisconsin Legislature
which would have increased telephone
taxes had been quite effectively de-
feated."
Letter Describes Bill.
Dated June 20, 1927, the letter said
the bill was one of the most vicious
measures we had to deal with and one
which would have cost us upward
of 100000 in additional taxes year
ly." The letter added:
I'VE succeeded in having the bill
come up for hearing at time when
the Wisconsin State Telephone Asso-
citation, of which we are a member,
was in annual session at Madison.
I'VE marshaled practically the en-
tire membership in attendance at the
hearing and this, together with some
very effective and logical presenta-
tions of the telephone induStrys side
of the matter-freed Of any evidence
of one-company interest-served, in
my opinion, in a large measure to
bring about the result obtained"
Krizek expressed the opinion that
the bill would not be revived, but
added: eff it is, We will keep on top
of it to see that it does not make any
progress"

Scrip Plan Hit by Retailers as
Old and Futile Experiment
Eight OBJ bjections Listed in National Fed
GRAFTON Circulars, Asking Serious Con-
siderdtiOn of Creen,ray Proposal.

Setting up eight objections to the
stamp-scrip plan proposed by Repre-
sentative Greenway, Democrat, of Ari-
zona, and approved by the House Dis
trict Committee last Wednesday. the
American Retail Federation, national
organization of food dealers and gro
GERS, yesterday crcularized its mem
bers with an explanation of just how
the plan would operate.
At the same time four "of its great
est benefits" were cited by the
federation.
Although the plan is conceded lit
tie prospect of enactment by Congress
during this session." the federation's
bulletin concluded, Notwithstanding
its favorable report by the House Com
mittee on the District, of Columbia.
nevertheless it merits serious attention
because its sponsors intend to rein
troduce the plan in the future so that
the District of Columbia may act as
a test laboratory for the Nation as
a whole.
This type Of proposal is not new.
1t has been advanced in related forms
on several occasions in the past,
notably by Irving Fisher. professor of
economics at Yale University, and by
Others"
Declared InflatiOnary.
The federation disagreed sharply
with the District Committees report
yesterday in which the Greenway plan
for relieving unemployment was de-
clared to be not inflationary. The
first Of the eight objections set up
asserts: The plan is infationary and
will tend to increase prices" Other
chief objections are that the stamp
certificates will not be accepted by
banks and that the plan will offer
any number of opportunities for
chiSeling."
Those who favor the plan, the bull
letln declared, claim the following
benfits:
Il. That the unemployed will secure
jobs in established business instead of
receiving relief or made work by the
Government.
q. That the unemployed will be alb
Sorbed in this way without cost to the
taxpayer. since the certificates used in
the plan are self -liquidating for the
local government.
80. That it will act as great stim-
ulant to business turnover.
q That any cost to merchants or
other employers in paying for scrip
stamps will be Offset by the increase in
business and the additional free labor
which they will obtain"
Points of Objection.
The Objectionable points cited by
the federation are:
81. The plan is inflationary and will
tend to increase prices.

CLEVELAND, June 6.-The pros

publican National Convention ap-
peared today after it was learned
P. L. Rapkoch, Las Cruces delegate,
and j. j. Emmons, Gallup alternate,

Albert G. Simms, national commit

New Mexicans tonight that the only
way a substitute for Rapkoch could
be seated was through approval of
the Convention Credentials Com

The situation was complicated by

%. The plan requires complete par
ticipation of all local businesses.

left holding the bag with a large
amount of non-negotiable and con-
tinually depreciating scrip.

of town will in effect get free labor,
which will be paid for by the retailers
and by others employees.

Of opportunities for chiSeling, both in
regard to obtaining free labor and in
speculation in the certificates.
g. The principle that bad money
drives out good would apply here.
The system would develop so that
all employees might eventually be re-
ceiving the stamp certificates in pay
ment of wages. and regular currency
would be driven out of circulation.
~. The fact that the certificates
would not be accepted by banks and
could not be used in other than local
transactions would create great diff
cultieS for business generally.
g. The certificates will be accepted
only by those who must do so"
Merchants View Lacking.
The bulletin also said the proposal
has not yet been acted upon by mer-
chants of the city, either individually
or through their associations, pending
further study in regard to the sound
ness or practically of the proposal. "
In explaining how the plan would
work, stress was placed on the fact
that the certificates would have to
be within one week of their issuance
and at least once a week for the
next succeeding So weeks or the holder
would lose 2 per cent of the face
value.
Each certificate would specify that
on a certain day each week a 2-cent
stamp would have to be attached by
the holder Thus, if the employe
spent the certificate before the date
the 2-cent stamp fell due, he would
get full value for it; otherwise, he
would be diminishing his earnings
by 2 per cent for each week he
held it."
In order to set the plan in operation,
the bulletin said, it would be neces-
sary to organize under the District
government. merchants and other
employers, employees and the public
This organization then would buy the
stamps from the District and conduct
their business transactions, involving
the employable unemployed, for whose
benefit the proposal has been made.
There is little prospect that action
can be taken on the Greenway resolu-
ton at the present session of Congress
because of the small likelihood that
another day will be set aside for Dis
trict business.
