Price Sees Tough Job Ahead for WhOeuer Is
 Winner of Leadership
Chief of Bureau, The Associated
 Press, Washington
By BYRON PRICE

Chief of Bureau, The Associated
 Press, Washington
 Democrats inclined to view fac- tional strife with alarm are won- dering about the House of Repre- sentatives leadership skirmishes be- tween supporters of Sam Rayburn and John J. O'Connor. Traditional House resentment at Senatorial "meddling" in it's affairs further complicates the situation for all con- cerned.
 Among others, Vice President Gar ner (presiding officer of the Sen- ate) is in Washington working op- enly for Hayburn. It is not a mat ter of tacit support, MT. Garner has said bluntly that he was here to see that his fellow Texan got the job.
 Some Rayburn men intimated this meant support of the Administration itself. O'Connor denials were quick and hot. Then spokesmen for the New Yorker bounced on MT. Garner he must have expected that-and Senator Guffey, acknowledged boss of things Democratic in Pennsyl- vania.
 The O'Connor adherents thought Guffey had a good deal to do with the pledge of Democratic House members from his state to back Ray burn. He blandly denied responsi- bility. Those who took the trouble to look up the 1884 speakership fight found that Pennsylvania declara- ton of support for the late Joe Byrns was instrumental in his yic- tory.
 Buchanan Seeks Compromise
 Rayburn campaigners contend O. Connor himself has been casting about in the Senate for support, and cite a letter in which he asked Senator Clark of Missouri for aid They predict that in the end their candidate will win by exclamation
 But there was growing apprehen- sion as rival factions charted their offensives toward the opening of Congress, with Chairman Buchanan of the House Appropriations com mittee first to speak up. He skirted the edge of the Rayburn-O 'Connor controversy, contenting himself with calling for a wise leadership" to prevent the majority from split ting into warning blocs.
 That would be inevitable, he thought, if brutal" and domineer- ing course was pursued. No one however, is sanguine enough to think that Democratic lines will remain unbroken. Speaker Bankhead him. i self admits i've can't expect unani- nifty" but harmony minded rep resentatives hope salt won't be rubbed into wounds already pain- ful.
 1 Representative Rankin was so con- cerned over the tenseness that he proposed withdrawal of all candi- dates. himself included, in favor oi Repres en ta tive Doughton. He thought that practical comprom- ise.

On the positive assurance OF the
board of directors Of the National
Symphony Orchestra Association
that the orchestra will continue
as usual, some 200 volunteer work
ers will continue the campaign
for the sustaining fund with re
+. wed energy. With such q large
group Of men and women willing
to work for the continuance OF
the orchestra, now that it has
shown what it can do, it might
be well to review some Of the early
struggles to establish the organ1'
zation.
Not so many were interested
five years ago when q symphony
orchestra was only an idea in the
minds of dreamerS. One Of these
dreamerS, of course, was so inter
ested that he went about almost
single e-handed to make the wish q
fact. Hans Kinder'S heroic efforts
to get sufficient support to form
the nucleus of an orchestra here
are yet remembered well.
The dramatic episodes Of organ.
izing the orchestra have obscured
somewhat the equally important
work DR.. Kinder has done in de-
veloping the artistic standing OF
the National Symphony. Now
when the orchestra, finally eStab-
lished as an artistic success, is
threatened, not by lack Of support,
but because those who are inter
ested in it's artistic welfare, and
those who look after the material
well-being only, do not see eye
to eye.
In the concert hall, If all has
gone well, a conductor at the tap
of baton can summon hundred
men to his bidding. But that
response speaks for hours Of Cruel
ling rehearsal. when success de-
pends more on the leaders ability
to be his own critic than on baton
technique, or talent for memoriz-
ing scores.
It is said that conductors have

men only the high spots. So much
do they rely on the proficiency OF
the players that the complete
score gets its first reading at the
concert. Such has never been the
way of DR.. Kinder with the men
in the National Symphony. Not
the concert ahead, but recognition
in the artistic circles of the music
world has been this conductors
goal. And he started from scratch.
It takes more than money to
make an ambitious conductor
happy. DR.. Kinder finally got
enough money to organize a sym
phony, but what he needed even
more five years ago was person
mel. Experienced players were
hard to find. Washington, unlike
Philadelphia, New York, Boston
or even Rochester, had no training
ground for the symphony recruits
The instrumentaliSts who were
available here, had little or no
