NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York, Dec. 16s-Erich Leins- dorf likes swing.
 If you see nothing remarkable in that you ought to know that Erich Leinsdorf is a leading conductor al the Metropolitan. Not only that but he is guiding the great Wagner ian operas there this season. Not only that but-at 26-he is the youngest ever to wield the baton for the august Metropolitan.
 Short, stocky and unaffected Leinsdorf has stepped into a posi- tion that many, many men-twice his age-have tried to reach and failed. The whole great music world is open to him now. Some day he will conduct the works of Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Bach.
 Yet he likes swing. T study it whenever I hear it." he says, q find it interesting, very. But it must be we'll done"
 Erich Leinsdorf's story is not the narrowing one of the musical genius starving in a garret. It is the pleas ant, grateful one of talent quickly recognized and handsomely re- warded.
 Born in 1912 in Vienna of Jew ish parents, he showed signs ot musical talent at an early age and was set to studying the piano Later he took up the cello and still later composition, harmony, counterpart. He went from one important teacher to the next. At g, he played his first professional engagement and fortune smiled on him, immediately.
 For Bruno Walter, the great conductor of Salzburg, heard him and was impressed. Walter gave the young Leinsdorf the post of assistant at the annual Salzburg Festival. Then, the same year it was 1934-he came into contact with another great maestro, Ar turo Toscanini. The Italian was conducting the Vienna Philhar- monic in an important concert. Leinsdorf was chosen to assist.
 With both Walter and Toscanini singing his praises, Leinsdorf was headed for success beyond doubt. During the next three years he assisted at major musical events all over Europe and by the time he emigrated to America in 1887, he had an important reputa- tion. The Metropolitan engaged him as an assistant conductor.
 Then, once more, fortune smiled on him but this time put him to the acid test. At Easter of this year, Arthur Bodanzky, the regular con- ductor, took sick the day before he was to conduct Wagner's "Parsifal," & very special Easter treat. To frantic Metropolitan officials, Bo- danzky suggested that Leinsdorf be permitted to conduct. They took Be- danzky's advice.
 With only twelve hours notice, Leinsdorf's masterful perform

ance of "Parsifal" wrung Superla- tives from the top-notch critics. It also assured him of a major post with the Metropolitan for the new season. Besides, Tosca- mini, Lotte Lehman, the singer, and others were telling the Met ropolitan how good Leinsdort really is. He was engaged to share the baton with the man who had recommended him, Arthur Be- danzky, a great conductor him. self.
 Though the season is young, Leinsdorf has already led Suc- cessful performances of the diffl- cult Die Walkure" and "Lohen- grin" Now he is at work on an- other Wagner opus.
 Erich's mercurial rise has not turned his head. One of his major worries right now is how to bring over her mother and aunt who are living in Switzerland, refugees from

AVIATION PROGRESS WILL ELIMIN-
 ATE SUCH ACCIDENTS

It is startling news to a nation which IS becoming more and more addicted to flying means of trans poration when giant clipper ship disappears, prob ably taking fifteen persons to their death Disappear ance of the Hawaiian clipper in the south Pacific yesterday is bound to leave question in the minds of many as to the safety of aviation.
 But it will be a temporary mental attitude quickly forgotten Sacrifice is the history of progress Many lives have been sacrificed in bringing aviation to to follow. But flying a means of transportation will not be halted any than will stop driving automobiles because approximately 30000 persons were killed in automobile accidents last year in the United States
 It is a tragic thing that fifteen persons were dent No trace has been found as this is written. But it reveals not that aviation is doomed rather that aerial transportation has still long ways to go in the great strides it is making in developing aircraft navigation instruments and radio communication to provide weather data Great progress has been made Much greater will be made aviation pushes forward
 Such tragedies as occasionally mark the air lines will halt industry which has produced such a phenomenal chap as blythe Douglas Corrigan, who, the other day stepped into $500 flying crate" and hopped across the Atlantic ocean just like that or such men as Lindbergh, Wiley Post Howard Hughes, gress and development in the industry will eliminate a minimum such unfortunate accidents as the one that startles all of us from the south Pacific.

TAKING THE. PROFIT OUT OF
 KIDNAPPING

Report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation just received reveals that since the Federal Kidnapping law was passed in June of 1882 the FBI has invest- gated 127 involving actual kdnapings. Of the 127 cases 124 have been solved and in the other three investigation is still going on In these cases 273 persons have been convicted in Federal and state courts, the sentences imposed having included II death sentences, Al life sentences, and other sen- tences totaling 1882 years eight months and five days; kidnapers committed suicide, six were killed by law enforcement officers, seven died by der at the hands of their gang members and two were lynched.
 It is excellent record that the FBI has made in solving all but three of the kidnapings probably the most mysterious of the unsolved being the Matt son case in Tacoma It reveals that the organiza- ton is functioning with high degree of efficiency.
 But it is sad commentary on American life that in six short have had 127 kidnapings in this nation despite the fact that the stringent Lindbergh law has been in effect and all but three of the crimes solved It would indicate that something more than rigid enforcement and vigorous punishment is needed to stop these ghastly crimes.
 In Canada and in many of the European countries they have laws which prohibit the paying of ransom money. They take the profit out of Kidnapping with the result that America is outstanding of the few countries the unsavory business thrives. Cases are rare in Canada and abroad. Cruel as such

U. s. Is--Us!
(PhiladeJphia Reeord)


 Pierre s. duPont and John J. Raskob have been found guilty, by the U. S Board of Tax Appeals of evading income taxes by "criss-cross stock sales" It all very simple Raskob sold duPont some $l5000000 of stock, and duPont sold Raskob another $15000O00 of stock, and the Government claims that each sold at because stock losses could be deducted from taxable income.
 Whatever the inside story, these deals seem to us to emphasize the remarkable change in public mor- aty during the past decade
 When the duPont-Raskob deals were made during the boom, few would have thought much about them even had they been pubcized They were smart slick-and they were made in smart, slick days-days when it considered a sign of social superiority to beat the Government out of something
 That was true in low estates well as high. There was a general notion that Uncle Sam was anybodys prey and that the more you could horn swoggle out of him-the more power to you There was the notion that the Federal Government was an entity separate and apart from all of us even an enemy of all of us, that it considered that gains made at Government expense hurt nobody.
 Today. of course, know better Which it the important point. Today know that the Govern ment is not something apart from us-but that it IS us
 Uncle Sam simply means that few profit at the expense of all Today know that the big shot morality of the twentes cheap and unworthy not far removed from cheating at cards.
 So, even if the lesson cost quite bit, it was worth learning that the guy that gyps the Govern ment-gyps us.
