Pianist

Orchestra
ShirleyLevin Soloist
AS Student Music
Series Ends.

TINE final students concert of tha
season by the National Sym.
phony Orchestra at Constitu-
a ton Hall yesterday morning
under the baton of DR.. Hans Kinder
brought with it two interesting fea-
lures. the appearance of a l3-year-old
pianist, Shirley Levin. as soloist, and
the participation Of an orchestra
formed by senior and junior high
school students which almost equaled
the regular symphony organization
in size.
Jointly with the National SYM
phony the students performed three
movements of Bizet's suite "l'Arlesi-
enne," which was enthusiastically re-
ceived by thousands of children in the
audience. 1t must have been an in
spiration to the young people to be
allowed to sit upon the stage of Con-
stitution Hall and to perform with
experienced musicians. Still in a
formative state. the work of the inter-
high school orchestra has not as
yet reached the standards set here by
visiting organization of a similar
nature several years ago which ap-
peared in Constitution Hall present.
ing an entire program alone.
Work Praiseworthy.
However, since the object OF this
appearance was to encourage study
more than the actual giving of fin
ished performance, much Of the work
was praiseworthy. More attention
placed upon detail in individual ef-
forts would result in greater self
confidence of the ma ajority and better
understanding Of the rhythm.
1t was with genuine interest that
one followed the playing of the first
movement of Mozart's "A Major Con-
certo" by Shirly Levin, winner Of the
contest for young pianists sponsored
by the Washington Music Teachers
Association Her astoundingly resonant
tone combined with faultless technic,
her skillful use of dynamics and her
sympathetic understanding of MoZarts
music made her performance border
on the professional. Self-possessed and
unaSsuming. Shirley Levin concen-
trated on the interpretative side of
the composition which made her read
ing mature and artistic. She received
a number of floral tributes and was
recalled many times.
Other Selections.
The orchestra presented Fresco-
baldl's "Toccata." the second move
ment from Mendelssohns italian
Suite" the Pizzicato movement from
TschaikoWsky's Symphony No. 4"
and Wagners Overture to Act III
of 'Lohengrin"
As customary, explanatory remarks
by DR.. Kinder preceded each number
He opened his talk by thanking his
youthful audience for its support of
the symphony orchestra. The children
were demonstrative in their apprecia-
ton of the orchestra and its conduc-
tor, who received regular ovation.

tional Resources Committee, that will never bring Alaska development
 The committee apparently was convinced that lit is not the time to develop Alaska We quote pas sage from the report
 Timing is something that should be determined changed important changes in conditions occur But national policy or plan for Alaska ought not to vacllate with the shifting winds of politics It should be altered only broad trends in technology indicate the need of alteration national social aspra tions undergo substantial change"
 To get right down to cases, this Alaska plan obvi- ously drawn up by two departments of govern ment which have vast interests in Alaska-the In terior Department and the Agricultural Department Neither wants relinquish control it has over the Territory Neither wants to Alaska move forward toward statehood with the ultimate result that Federal control would become secondary to Alaska interests and control Why can't attempt to say. The ar gument is conservation preservation, reserve and on of Alaska. Sometimes there is to believe that conservation and preservation of power ful Federal bureaus which though they believe it not throttle private enterprise to death in the Ter ritory.
 The Alaska plan presented yesterday is not all bad. It has redeeming features It very fairly pre- sented that adequate Alaska development program should be drawn up by Alaska agency. On this we hope the Congress agrees We hope that the Senators and Representatives will the wisdom of such and give to Alaskans through the Alaska Planning Council opportunity to be heard; to pre- sent plan of development for the Territory which will actually develop it and direct it toward state hood instead of stfling its advance and keeping it ever storehouse on which the Federal govern ment draw at will

CIRCLE AREA HAS SMASHING
 COLD OUTPUT

Smashing all it's previous records, the Circle mining district is going over the top for the season of 1888 with an output of two million dollars in placer gold
 This means gain of half a mil lion dollars for the district over the field of 1937-and sets new high, thinning even that of the early boom days of the camp when Circle turned out many fortunes to it's discoverers and carly operators and was the sensation of the North.
 Such is the summary as given to the Fairbanks News Miner.
 Leading Creeks
 The heaviest production of the present season in the Circle dis trict is from those creeks on which dredges are operating. The volume of production by creeks has been in the following order: Deadwood, Coal Creek, Woodchopper, Man. moth. Eagle, Mastodon, Ketchum, Independence, Harrison, Porcupine Portage, Bonanza, Half Dollar and Butte
 Dredges
 Dredges are located on Deadwood. Mammoth, Woodchopper and Coal Greeks. The Deadwood and Nam moth dredges are in the heart of the old Circle camp While the Woodchopper and Coal Greek dredges are on streams emptying into the Yukon above Circle City, they are in what is a part of the Circle quadrangle and head in the same divide as the South Fork of Birch Creek, parent stream of the entire Circle placer creek system.
 Draglines are operating on Dead wood, Mastodon. Portage, Harrison and Porcupine Numerous hydraulic plants and bulldozers and other modern equipment are used by op- orators on most if not all the creeks.
