TACOMA Band
IS BROKEN UP
Order Transfers
IL Musicians to
Seattle Group

I When Don G. Abel. state WPA
administrator, issued an order
Thursday breaking up the Federal
Music Project band in Tacoma and
assigning L of the men to the
Seattle band, he stirred up mare 5
nest.
kilograms protesting the order
were sent to Senator Homer T..
Bone, Representative John M. COT
fee and other officials at Wash
hngton Thursday afternoon. Dr..
Nikolai Sokoloff, national director
of the federal music project, now in
Seattle on leave OF absence, today
was asked to use his influence to
have the order rescinded, and a
ritizens' group was beingTorgan-
szed to protest to the state ad-
ministrator.
The effect of the order will be
to eliminate the Tacoma band en-
tirely. For the II men ordered TO
report TO Seattle, it means a re-
duction of pay equal to the cost
of transportation daily between
Tacoma and Seattle. The other
10 members stand virtually sus-
pended as the number is too small
TO maintain a band.
First public announcement OF
the order was made at the College
of Puget Sound Friday when the
band appeared in several selections
on the chapel program. Conductor
Joseph Rausch announced that the
Ichapel appearance marked the end
of the band in Tacoma.
: The order is said 10 have origi-
hated in Seattle, where John Spar
CUR, capable musician and conduc-
tor. has built up music project
band outstanding in the west. but
needed a few more players to com
'llete a concert ensemble. Players
tere not available in Seattle, hence
tfs raid on Tacoma.
Sinuld the order stand. Tacoma
will be without a band for public
function. community gatherings
or park oncerts.
