! Giving his estimate as of Novem-
Der /, 1887. Col. Smith termed the
astounding growth of German air
| power in four years "one of the
most important world events of our
time"
He reported Germany had %
known aircraft concerns with 46
identified plants with a potential
annual capacity of at least 5000
war planes. These were said to be
supplemented by l3 motor concerns
with at least 18 factories.
"The fact that the United States
still leads in its air science and
manufacturing skill must not be al
lowed to overshadow the German
achievements between 1888 and
1887 and, above all. not to lead to
an underestimate of what Germany
will achieve in the future Col.
Smith advised.
Col. Smith listed these among
reasons for Germany's aviation ad-
vances:
l. The military aptitude of the
German people
2. The technical and scientific
skill of the race.
3. The vision of Gen. Goering,
who from the start planned a fan
tastically large air force and air
industry, and who at the same time
possessed the energy to convert his
plans into reality.
4. The unified direction and
execution made possible by the
dictatorial nature of the German
government.

actions and feelings resulted in mu-
sic much more real and direct
than any preconceived tonal por-
traits could ever be. Rather than
any immediate portrait" therefore,
we can accept the idea of the fate
motive" being personified in this
great composition. For between
Beethoven in different works tells us
OF his struggle with this blind and
purposeless and destructive force"
And in his later works he accepts
it with resignation and surmounts
1t by transcendence. Not so in the
Fifth Symphony" which he wrote
in his 30s.
The sketches for this work ap-
pear in Beethoven's 31st year, when
he needed all of his courage to
face the near certainty of eventual
and permanent deafness, for a mu-
sical genius the most tragic afflic-
ton imaginable. And he then con-
sidered Fate as an enemy, not
merely as an impersonal force. 1t
is the gigantic struggle with this
enemy, more than any romantic
love affair, which seems to me to
be the possible. even probable, basis
of this most famous of all SYM
phonies.
The very opening bars proclaim
the challenge of battle. Again it
breaks into the initial sweetness of
the second movement; it intercepts
the inner anxiety of the scherzo
by its defiant energy. And it is end
ed at last (after the marvellous sus-
pense of the mysterious tympani
passage at the end of the scherzo)
by the triumphant and victorious
spirit of the finale.

throughout the campaign. The booth
IS open from am. to 6 pm. each
day except Sundays, when it will be
closed all day.
A checkup last night gave further
evidence of the overwhelming re-
sponse to the campaign. Since the
distribution of the Schubert SYM
phony started two weeks ago more
than 5000 sets of the recordings
OF this masterpiece and more than
LOO electric record players have
been purchased by music lovers.
In addition reservations for the
recordings and the record playing
instruments continue to pour into
The Star office by the hundreds
coming not only from residents of
the metropolitan area but from
practically every other section of
the country. The total reservations
to date is more than 1000.

tai
Il am inclined to favor the CEN
tral site on Constitution avenue
already suggested by the Auditorium
Commission DR.. Stokes said in q
letter to The Star. arguments fol-
1t seem to me intrinsically sound
and feel that in such matters the
only safe policy is, after general
public discussion, to leave the de-
cision to the Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
There Is an argument of some
force against having the auditorium
placed near the proposed sports CEN
ter at the end of East Capitol street
namely: That from its nature it
would be used primarily in the eve
nlngs. This would make the need
for central site rather than one
on the outskirts more important
and greatly reduce the traffic prob
lem.
Shouldn't Repeat Mistake.
I'VE should not repeat the mis-
take of the Jefferson Memorial bv
going contrary to the opinion of
the Park and Planning Commission
which is made up of public spirited
and experienced citizens who study
all such problems effectively and
are able to take a long-range view
Ernest G. Walker, past president

chairman of the Board of Cover
nors of the National Press Club
also favors a more central loca-
ton "If architects and armory
experts say that creditable two

ed on Constitution avenue" he
writes, cit seems to me that the
auditorium and armory should be
erected there. I would regard the
advantages of such a structure, thus
located, as outweighing objections
on the possibilities of congested
traffic in that part of the city.
otherwise, it does not seem
feasible to me to group the audi
torium, armory and stadium in any
one locality where the Government
or the District of Columbia now
holds title to the land.

close range of the Capitol would
seem to me out of the question. !

OF special articles by DR.. Hans
Kinder, conductor of the Na-
tional Symphony Orchestra, on

probation Campaign.)
BY HANS KINDLER.
Sir George Grove, the great mu-
slcal photographer, tells us that
Beethoven in his Fifth Symphony"
gave us musical portrait of the
composer himself and the Countess
Therese Won Brunswick, whom Sir
George Identifies further as the
original of Beethoven's so-called
Immortal Beloved" the woman of
mystery in the annals of musical
romance, to whom Beethoven wrote
number OF passionate love let
ters.
With all due respect for the emf
nent compiler, scholar and STU
dent, 1t seems to me we will be
on much safer ground if we think
OF the Fifth Symphony" not so
much as the direct musical por-
trayal of specific experience but
rather Of the larger issue, of certain
spiritual and emotional states OF
which the experience was the re-
suit
What I mean is that Beethoven's
music especially this music of the
"Flfth') tells us more of his re-
actions and thoughts and feelings
about life than it does about any
actual facts of his existence.

quent occupation that would enforce
even more strongly requirements for
location within the historic en-
vironment of the Capitol.
Similar reasons as to convenient
| access apply to use of the auditorium
for conventions and for other large
public gatherings.
Another Area Suggested.
IF we could assume the added
expense of purchasing a suitable
site, the area south of the Capitol
| would accommodate nearby audi
torium- -armory with room for a
stadium not far from the waterfront
and looking away to Maryland and
Virginia. That probably would not
be practical under present condi-
tions, but some preliminary study
and survey for such a project might
be worth while"
Letters favoring the alternative
East Capitol street site, however,
continue to pour into The Star.
Joseph H. Hines, banker and busi-
nessman, for example. believes that
there is real cause to think very
carefully before determining upon
a site in an area now so very con-
gested most of the day and espe-
cially in the so-called rush hours"
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintend-
ent of schools, declares: Il feel
that the Importance of adequate
provision for the handling of large
crowds in the vicinity of the audi
torium Is one of the major factors
to be considered"
Emphasized as Problem.
The same opinion is indorsed bv
DR.. Joseph M. M. Gray, chancellor
OF the American University, who in
sists: THE congestion of traffic in
the downtown area would certainly
be an item to be taken into con-
slderation, as those of us who trv
to find parking near Constitution
Hall on symphony nights have dis
covered"
Maurice D. Rosenberg, president
OF the Bank of Commerce and Saw
lngs, phrases his Judgment in the
words: preference for the loca-
tlon at Constitution avenue and
John Marshall place is, in my opin-
ION, mistake. That particular
location is already overcrowded
with congested traffic, and. when
consideration is given to the vast
throng of patrons which an audi
torium would attract, the thought
IS strongly suggested that this oh
