National Symphony Orchestra.

=
National Symphony Orchestra.
To the Editor Of The Star:
TT Is to be hoped that the public will
respond to the appeal for funds now
being made in behalf Of the National
Symphony Orchestra. It would be nothing
less than a calamity if the orchestra were
to be disbanded because of lack Of support.
In this connection. why cannot the man
agement give us series of open-air con-
certs this year like those we have had in
the past? Besides providing much-needed
entertainment for those of us who are
obliged to stay here all summer, they
would give employment to the musicians
and to others who need work. Also the
winter season of the orchestra would
beneft from the interest in symphonic
music aroused in thousands Of people who
ordinarily do not hear 1t played at all.
The National Symphony, asking our sup
port for its regular season, is in a position
to provide these concerts. and many Of us
feel they owe it to the public to do 50.

BY MARK SULLIVAN,

Nv MONDAY and Tuesday of the
coming week there will meet in
~ Chicago some 225 men and
women who compose Program Commit
tee" set up by the Republican party. Its
junction will be to write set Of principles
and recommendations designed to be an
alternative to the New Deal.
The meeting next week will be for organ
ization. The expectation is that the COM
mittee will divide into groups, that each
group will meet separately over perhaps a
considerable length of time and that after
some months the complete program will be
presented to the country. 1t may be a
year before the full result OF the commit
tees work is put forth in formal docu-
ment.
I write about this meeting because it will
ngure in the news the coming week and be-
cause it has some importance The results
OF the committees work may ultimately
have considerable Importance But would
mislead the reader If I did not reveal to
him my feeling that practically anything
done by the Republican party, as such, and
practically anything done by the Demo-
cratic party. as such, is of little conse-
quence relative to the great issue before the
country.
Labels Held Antiquated.
Compared to what is taking place be-
meath the surface, the very words "Repub-
ican' and Democratic" are antiquated.
The spectacle of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties facing each other along old
lines OF battle on old issues-that spectacle
Is ghastly irony, as meaningless now as
revival Of the ancient English fights be-
tween rounheads and cavaliers, or between
Lancaster and York. The real struggle
ahead Of America. and already under way,
is whether this country shall retain its
present form Of government and society or
shall pass into an authoritarian form, one
roughly similar to the Nazi type.
However, few seem to see this. Until the
public generally does see it. we shall 60 on
in the familiar way. holding primaries next
Spring and an election next fall-one group
Of Americans who call themselves Republi-
cans contending against another group who
call themselves Democrats. This consti-
tutes what We call political news, and the
newspapers must report it, for readers will
wish to follow it. For the present, the re-
porting is useful enough, for probably the
two old parties will not disappear soon;
probably the real struggle, when it comes.
will be fought out, in its early stages, under
the forms OF the old parties, though each
of the old parties will come to mean some
thing new.

Urges Sound Foreign
And Domestic Policies.
r.. A. VHL..


What is our present foreign policy? do
not believe the present administration has
any more of real, definite, principled
foreign policy than it has any definite do
mestic principled policy. OF course. I am
aware Of its practical political practices of
"molasses to catch flies" efforts, trying any
old thing and every old or new thing this
or that articulate group wants. And no
wonder that in five short years our national
wealth or the industrious, thrifty savings
and planned granary" Of nearly two
centuries has shrunk from about $50 billions
of dollars worth to less than $50 billions!
And also, no wonder we are running amuck
domestically and already in another un-
necessary depression.
New Deal (as If it were not planned
deal. not involving even a square shuffle)
neutrality legislation impresses me as de-
ceptive and spineless-just more "molasses
to catch f1ies"-to mislead and confuse the
public demand for our not meddling in
other nations affairs.
The Presidents Chicago pacifist speech
was merely a Quarantine" speech-just
weasel words, absolutely in opposition to
the sale of war materials to the war
aggressors," war pirates" and war gang
sters" that he denounced while allowing
such sales to continue. He is as much for
entering foreign entangling alliances" as
he was in 1920. His acts, which speak
louder than his words, show that he Is
heading us for another world war that will
sink us still lower economically, financially
and morally; will make the world still less
safe for democracy" and create more "for-
gotten men" than the world has even
known
What we need is foreign policy like
George Washington prayed and plead for
and an honest domestic policy of planned
economy dnstead of planned waste and
extravaganza like Thomas Jefferson and
all real Democrats stood for

Computations on
The Value of Pi Noted.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In last Sundays Star Thomas r. Henry
has an article, Maths Pi-3.14-Be-
comes Involved in 262 Decimals" Mr..
Henry states that the computation Of the
log and square of the mathematical con-
stant pi to 215 and 262 decimals ARE
probably the two biggest numbers ever
written" and implies that the value Of pi
itself has not previously been computed
to this degree OF accuracy.
It may interest your readers to know
that the value of pi was computed to 248
decimals in 1S47 by Clausen. This, how
ever, is only beginning. Six years later
Rutherford carried 1t out to 40 places
I have in my possession volume Of 95
pages by the British computer, William
Shanks, published in 1883. He publishes
all Of the terms as well as the final result
of the computation Of pi to GOT decimal
places. Twenty years later shanks ex-
tended this computation to TOT decimal
places-which stands today, think. as
the greatest degree Of accuracy to which
q mathematical constant has ever been
computed
The German mathematician, lindanann.

in 1882, proved that pi is a transcendental
number-that is, that it can never come
out even" no matter how many decimal
places are calculated.
incidentally this volume of Mr.. Shanks
also contains many powers of 2, the
largest being 2 raised to the 721st power.
i. e., 2x2x2x2x, etc. until is used as a
factor 721 times. 1t requires 218 figures
to express this number. Perhaps some of
the financiers and statisticians Of the
New Deal will want to borrow some of Mr..

There is evidence that Mr.. Roosevelt is
getting uneasy about these tremendous ex-
penditures. He is even reported to have
said some Of this relief spending must

from his Santa Clausian trance
It reminds me Of the case OF old Aunt
Hester Hurlock, down on the Eastern
Shore Of Maryland, when was a boy.
Aunt Hester was good old colored woman,
and she always attended the annual camp
meeting at Mauls Pond. Along about mid
night, when religious fervor was at its

vouchsafed to her while she was in the
trance. One night Aunt Hester was
taken" with one of her frances, and as
usual. she was laid out" on a bench. She
had just gotten new pair of shoes, and
unknown to Aunt Hester, this new foot
gear was the subject of some dirty schem-
ing on the part Of Sis Comfort Togus.
The trance was about 10 minutes old when
Sis Comfort came very quietly to Aunt
Hesters side and began unlacing her new
shoes. Well. sir. Aunt Hester had the
quickest spiritual awakening on record
She raised her head and growled: Lego

looks as though the most monumental
trance Of history might be over in time

To the Editor of The Star:
MR.. ROOSEVELT tells the Protestant
Ministerial Association there has
been a great spiritual awakening in this
country in the past four years."
That statement was amazing, to say
the least. But when the peculiar workings
of Mr.. Roosevelt's imagination frequently
betray him into seeing Utopian visions
that are denied the ordinary mortal. Any
how he knew that was what the preachers
wanted to hear. It was surprising that
he did not embellish his statement with
the remark: I'VE planned 1t that way"
He did imply it by having the spiritual
awakening occur during the past four
years.

to address the astronomers of America,
It need occasion no surprise II he promises

Asks Lower Rates
For Symphony Concerts.
-... . ~ @A-

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS A music lover and supporter Of
the National Symphony Orchestra, I
suggest that the general public would more
than gladly support its symphony orchestra
If they could afford to attend the concerts.
The high admission price of from IS cents
to - and up is beyond Js means of many.
This also applies to concerts given by
out-of-town and foreign artists. BY lower
ing the admission price more money will
be realized for the sponsors, and every one
will be satisfied, as artists love to express
their appreciation to . full house.

one, who used to get occasional en-

VEGETABLE fondue is deli

be easily made and is bound to
please the family. To make the
preparation extra simple start
with can of mixed vegetables.
1t may be one canned especially
for salads or soup. Drain the liq-
uid from the vegetables, but do
not throw it away as it contains
good food value. Chop the vege-
tables rather fine, or mash, which
ever seems easier to do.
A little suspicion of freshly
grated onion is good to add to the
vegetables if the family likes the
flavor, and surely they do.
