Declares Poverty and
Crime to Be One Problem.


To the Editor Of The Star:
FOR weeks the resident Of Washington
has been informed through the news
papers Of the different tax proposals, the
alarming" crime wave and the relief situa-
ton.
The Star recently contained accounts
showing that thousands of destitute fami-
lies have been denied relief because Of lack
Of funds These families are actually be-
ing forced to use extreme means to keep
alive, or starve; society does not give them
opportunity to earn living and does
nothing to alleviate their distress.
Were it not because children in the ele-
mentary grades know 1t, would believe
tnat our ofncials have no conception Of
the causal relationship Of poverty to crime.

Concerning Prices Of
National Symphony Concerts.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. William Frisch, in letter about the
National Symphony Orchestra mentioned
the high admission price of from IS cents
to 50 and up" for the concerts. Mr. Frisch
has apparently been sadly misinformed
about the prices and think the statement
needs correction.
The National Symphony Orchestra has
lower scale Of ticket prices than any Wis
iting orchestra has charged in the past or
is charging now. Tickets for our series of
eight mid-week concerts with the excep-
ton of boxes) are sold from 371a cents each
to $2.25 each for the series. Single con-
certs are from so cents to So each. The
lowest price for our II Sunday concerts is
Al 2-3 cents and the highest $125 for the
series, or if bought singly the lowest is so
cents and the highest is 81 with the ex-
ception of boxes).
agree with Mr.. Frisch that tickets
should be as inexpensive as possible and
believe the National Symphony Orchestra
has more than lived up to its civic RESPONSE
bility in this respect.
