Union Fines
Singer $500
Bond Leader Sang
kotionol Anthem

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. IL
-(P)-Don Mario, an orchestra
leader, has been fined $500 by a
musicians union for making a
personal appearance" at a civic
Fourth of July celebration with
out the unions permission-but
he says that all he did there was
to sing THE Star Spangled Ban
ner" with the rest of the crowd.
The orchestra leader said last
night that union, Local 1913 Of
the Musicians Protective AsSO-
citation (AFL), had refused him
permission to appear at the cele-
bration as an entertainer with
his orchestra and that he had at
tended solely as member of the
Mayors official committee.
Mario said that he might ap-
peal the fine. Members of the
citizens committee in charge of
the celebration said they would
assist him in paying it if it were
sustained.
Vincent Castronovo, president
of the local, said Mario violated
the laws of our national organi-
zation-the American Fedora
ton of Musicians-by making a
personal appearance when lie
was told not to, and therefore
must be punished"
Castronovo said Mario was
familiar with the laws of our
organization" He added that
Mario received no pay for the
appearance, so far as he knew.
