of the Square Deal Market Co.,
Inc, in connection with 13 con-
victions on violation of the District

posed in the District for violations
of the law.

who visited five Square Deal stores
and made purchases of meat which

Judge Newman. after hearing de-
fense counsels plea for considera-
ton of the efforts made by Mr..
Siegel in correcting the situation,
declared:
Frankly, I can't conceive of
case that deserves less considera-
ton. The record of the defendant
dates back over a period of Is years,
with numerous convictions, and
from my observation and investiga-
ton of the case I think there are
strong indications of intent on the
part of the company. If it was
merely negligence by the manage
ment. then it would seem to be neg
ligence with intent.
Il therefore impose a sentence of
80 days on each count. and $500 or
80 days additional in default of the
fine on each count to run consecu-
lively in each Of Is counts

between the Capitol and the Treas

The paving, 3i2 inches thick. on
a 9-inch base. will bear the weight
of heavier airplanes than any now
in existence and already has been

They do not deviate from absolute

engineers in charge.
Nickle Tests Depression.
The "nickle test" is used to check
all settling of the runways. After
rains, if the water collects in pud-
dies, or ''bir dbaths." as the en-
gineers have christened them, a
nickle is laid in the deepest part
of the puddle. If the nickle is
covered, the puddle is ringed with
chalk and PAYERS are sent to build
the area up to absolute level. The
result Is a pavement over which
automobiles can be driven with
accelerators all the way to the
floor board without a bump or sway.

BedIam Of Approval
Greets Concert by
Youth Orchestra
Shouts MineIe With
SoIvos Of Applause by
Enthusiastic Audience

Cheers broke from a crowd that
filled Constitution Hall last night
lusty voices raised above the ordered
thunder of more conventional hand
clapping.
That was what Washington
thought of Leopold Stokowskis
All-American Youth Orchestra.
The first shouts were scattered
through a salvo of applause at
the close of the first portion of the
all-Bach first half of the program.
BY the time the Bach group was
finished with a not-soon- to- be for
gotten performance of the tremen-
dous Passaglia in c Minor. the yell
ing was all over the thronged hall.
Stokowski. his collar wilted. mo-
toned the youthful musicians TO
rise. Again and again he was called
back. and the orchestra took his
ovations with him, and each time
there were shouts more suggestive
of a football game or a political
rally than of the more staid de-
meanor of the concert hall.
Enthusiasm Grows.
After the intermission. there was
no stopping the enthusiasm Of the
big audience, even when the famed.
silver-haired conductor showed
plainly that he wanted no applause
between movements OF the SYM
phony. The crowd was with those
gifted boys and girls who put such
peaks of enthusiasm and such
depths of feeling into their playing.
The applause even increased as the
concerts went on. switched from
the stately. classic Bach to the dar-
ing experimentations and free
lvricism of the contemporary Rus
sian composer. Shostakovich. At the
close the demonstration was a posi-
tive bedlam of approval.
It's doubtful If Constitution Hall
ever saw more appreciative audi
ence
The Youth Orchestra had come

they typify. They had arrived fresh
from a triumphant tour of South
America They were scheduled to
play at the Water Gate early in the
summer, before they set sail. but the
weather thought otherwise, and this
was a concert months deferred.
Diplomats Present.
Cheering this good looking group
of 100 youthful men and women

diplomatic representatives. come to
express their appreciation Of the
compliment Stokowski showed their
countries, remaining to add their
enthusiastic admiration.
Boxholders also included cabinet
officers, many members OF Congress
and others prominent in ofiicial life,
as we'll as leaders in civic and ar
tistic fields. Just as South Ameri-
can audiences went wild" SO did
they.
Stokowski had added another

Western Hemisphere which he has
conquered with his young, intrepre-
tive geniuses.
