Lily Pons. were names recognizable to
any one who attends concerts even ir-
regularly or occasionally listens to the
radio.
But each year has topped the one be-
fore as far as artists are concerned. 1t
took l943 for the orchestra to shine with
II stars for II concerts.
OF all years, why this one when gas
rationing has discouraged trips even to
the neighborhood movies? Symphony
officials can give a number of reasons.
Big Season Is Justified.
In the first place they say, more than
114,000 people jammed the Water Gate
for last summers Sunset symphonies.
At the waters edge, hearing the tiny
waves ripping at the bank in pauses
of the music, looking toward the misty
blue of the Virginia shore, feeling the
relief of a breeze relaxing taut nerves
with music, the people found the
strength to meet another humid, crowded
day.
In the second place. symphony officials
point to the service men, Soldiers about
to leave for some place where there was
no music, sailors on shore leave from
long, dangerous convoy trips-more
than 200 men in uniform at every con-
cert-had music to remember wherever
their orders carried them. Their ad-
mission was a gift from the orchestra.
Recreation Limited.
In the third place, Washingtons rec
reation facilities have failed to keep up
with its swelling population. Long lines
wait outside movie houses for a seat.
Crowds are turned away from night
clubs for lack of space No one knows
how many girls, strangers in Washing
ton who have seen all the movies and
couldn't go to a night club alone, spend
each evening leafing through magazines
in crowded, airless rooming house third
floor rears.'
In the fourth place. this transportation
bogy isn't much of bogy after all. The
Capital Transit Co., which wouldn't be
allowed by the Office of Defense Trans
portation to resume it's shuttle bus serv-
ice to the Water Gate even if it had the
gas to do it, got together with the or
chestra people and the two groups came
up with all sorts of suggestiona
You can take special streetcar on
four lines-Mount Pleasant, Fourteenth
street. Friendship Heights or Seven
teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue
s.E.-to reach Nineteenth and c streets
NV. From there, its exactly $500 feet
to the Water Gate.

CTTY'S TREASURER
 SUBMITS REPORT
Greatest Balance in His= tory Now on Hand; No
 Loans Anticipated

Serge A. Belanger filed the city treasurer's report at yesterdays meeting of the board of finance that indicated the largest balance that ever existed in the city treasury, in the amount of $3,5O1 ,829, was on hand at the end of May. The bal ance at the same time last year was s, ,425 ,296.
 The amount of $1,791 ,670 was the balance on May 1. Receipts during the month amounted to $3,317757 and disbursements to $597,597. The largest item of receipts was taxes amounting to $3,062,206. The next largest revenue came from the con- troller's office, amounting to $204, ,205, of which $183, 150 was from the sale of bonds for finishing the reservoir.
 It was revealed that the present balance is so large that it will easily carry the city through the rest of the year without necessitating any loan for the November installment of taxes, and that it probably will be sufficient, with the November taxes, so that it will be unnecessary to make any such loan even during the first half of next year. The city bor- rowed $8o0,OOO at the beginning of this year in anticipation of taxes, but paid it back two weeks ago.
 One hundred thousand forged ra- tion coupons were seized recently in Liege, Belgium.

mains the same as for May, mark ing the first time since the rationing of processed foods began that changes have been confined to a single food classification.
 The reduction in tomato juice point values is the second in Suc- cession. On May 2, the point value of the No. 2 can size of tomato juice was lowered from 12 points to the present level of five points. The reduction was ordered when an OPA survey revealed that April sales had run 30 per cent below the "sched- uled movement" On the June chart, the No. can is lowered to two points.
 Other changes on the June table:
 l. Processed fruits now include all spiced, pickled and branded fruits.
 2. "Leafy greens" now consist of beet, collard, dandelion, kale, mus tard, poke and turnip greens. Pre- viously, all greens were carried in this classification, except spinach. In the new table, spinach is carried as a separate rationed item.
 3. Mixed vegetables" include all combinations containing over 20 per cent by volume of rationed vegeta- bles, which puts on the unrationed list a product that might contain 5 per cent rationed mushrooms for in- stance, intermixed with bean sprouts, bamboo shoots and liquids
 4. Tomato sauce" includes all sauces that contain five per cent or more of dry tomato solids, even when packed in combination din- ners. Packaged dinners such as spaghetti and macaroni are subject to rationing only if the tomato sauce used in their preparation con- tains per cent or more of dry tomato solids.
 5. Fresh shelled beans" include black eye peas, soybeans, and other types of fresh shelled beans whether they are called beans or peas, except for fresh lima beans which are listed separately.
 6. The new point value of corn on the cob, in the frozen foods classification, Is calculated at one point per ear, rather than on the current weight basis of six points per pound. The OPA said the change of method was made "for the convenience of consumers and the trade"
