ORCHESTRA
ENROLLING
MUSICIANS

No discrimination against muSi-

Gate concerts was the announced
policy of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association today as en-
rollment Of the orchestra person
mel for the 1936-37 season got un-
der way. The management de-
clared:
artistic excellence will be the
sole criterion for membership in
the orchestra"
In accordance with this line Of
action, it was learned, the major
ity of the men will be recruited
from the roster of last year in all
likelihood. In large number. these
musicians participated in the ac-
tivities of the Washington Sum-
mer Concert Association which
staged the summer series here as
a cooperative venture when the
National Symphony Orchestra AS
sociation abandoned plans for the
outdoor presentations.
Under the terms Of the master
contract signed some weeks ago
by the orchestra association and
Local 161, the Washington unit OF
the American Federation of Mu'
sicians, individual contracts are
now being negotiated by the per-
sonnel officers of the orchestra
I'D some threescor players.
AS was the case in former sea-
sons, choice of the musicians will
be restricted to loc-l men except
where no local musician Of salts
factory caliber can be found for
a position. In such event, impor-
tation of outof-town players will
be allowed after an impartial
examination confirms such need.
Interest at present is focused on
the successor of Frank GittelSon,
of Baltimore, who resigned his
chair as concert master with the
National Symphony. Choice of a
new assistant leader, it is ex-
pected, will be announced by DR..
Hans Kinder after the conductors
return here a few days hence.

John Martin Boland, convicted
of conSpiring to murder Francis

freedom.
Judge Eugene O'Dunne signed a
writ requiring Maryland penal
authorities to show cause why Bo-
land should not be released. Hear
ing was set for next Monday.
Boland contends that since Mrs.
Lyddane, who was indicted with
him, was acquitted in her second
trial, his own conviction is in
valid. He was sentenced to three
years and nine months and has
served more than a year OF that
time.
Following Mrs. Lyddane'S &C

cuted both cases, said he would
take steps to free Boland, and
announced he would confer with

Any person in the District is
welcome to send in nominations
for the award. These should be
mailed to the Chairman Of the
Citizens Service Award Commit
tee of Washington, D. c. at Room
TIC, Metropolitan Bank Building.
Such nominations should give

many organizations in the Capital

of these groups for nominations,

AS the Capital Of the nation,
Washington is the residence of
many distinguished persons-dis-
tinguished scientists, noted doc
tors, nationally known scholars,
economists, financiers and buSi-
ness leaders-and many of these
persons have performed meritori-
GUS acts far beyond their regular
duties.
The committee is anxious to
find who all of these persons are
and what they have done, so they
may be considered for award of
the trophy and designation as
first citizen of the Capital.

ing cup, but will have no voice in
selection of the recipient, leaving
the selection in the hands of the
committee as representative Of
the entire city.
