 In the meantime the musicians set-up is the center of two import ant questions. The first naturally has to do with the name of the person who will succeed the leader. No information has been released in regard to this matter but it is ex- pected that it will be announced in a few days.
 The other item of importance has to do with the fact that the WPA band personnel will probably be cut from thirty-five men to thirty in the very near future. It is believed that those men who are non-relief cases and partial relief cases will be taken off first.
