NEW YORK, Mar. 2.-History
repeated itself in Carnegie Hall
this winter.
Six years ago when John Barbi
rolf was brought to this country
for part of a season as conductor
of the Philharmonic Symphony
Society, Arthur :Rodzinski was en-
gagged as a guest the same winter.
Before Rodzinski's turn with the
orchestra came, Barbirolli had
been chosen as permanent conduc-
tor.
This winter Rodzinski was a
guest and so will be Fritz Reiner,
now conductor of the Pittsburgh
Symphony. And before Reiners
turn has arrived, Rodzinski is
announced as the Philharmonic S
new permanent conductor.
Not everybody is satisfied with
the arrangement that brings
Cleveland's conductor to New
York-"We didn't expect that"
Arthur Judson, manager of the or
chestra, says. But he was invited
here by unanimous vote of the
board of directors. and he will have
full authority.
I'VE thought Rodzinski would
adapt himself to the situation, and
develop into great conductor.
We still think so. The important
thing is the future of the Philhar-
monte, the oldest Americas or
chestra."
Few intelligent and unpre-
ludiced musicians doubted Barbi-
rolls musicianship; most agree
that he grew amazingly in his first
season. Three things led him to
transfer his home and most of his
activities to the Pacific Coast
critic trouble; lack of interest in
social affairs; to some extent the
difficulty of preparing the Phil
harmonic's three or four weekly
concerts, work that taxes the re-
pertoires of many an old conduc-
tor.
One influential New York critic
wrote an anti-Barbirolli piece be-
fore the young Englishman raised
a baton in America. Later other
reviewers fell in behind, although
the most reliable musical element
in the orchestra's audience, the
balcony, did not always think the
reviewers were right.
Barbirolli was exceedingly
charming with his intimates, and
wholly uninterested in meeting or
entertaining the fright" people.
The enmity of these important
people, plus unfavorable reviews,
plus the inhuman labor of Phil

new TELEPHONE
DIRECTORY ISSUED
APPROXIMATELY $500 COPIES
ARE NOW BEING
DISTRIBUTED

A new telephone directory con-
tanning the latest compilation of
telephone subscribers and their
numbers is now being delivered
IN Key West. Approximately 1900
copies are being distributed.
Howard Overlin, local manager
of Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company, asked tele-
phone users to start using the new
directory at once to decrease the
possibility of getting wrong num-
bers. 1t should be referred to on
all calls where there is the least
doubt about the desired number.
ne said. He also asked that tele-
phone users look up the numbers
IN the directory instead of asking
Information" for them.
The new book is bound with a
gray cover. If the old green-coyer-
ed directory is not taken up at the
time of the new ones delivery, it
should be discarded because many
new numbers appear in the latest
issue.
An important message on the
front cover asks the public not to
make telephone calls during or inn
mediately after an air raid alarm
or other emergency, as it is essen
tial that the lines be kept free for
use by the authorities.
Every effort is being made to see
that each subscriber receives his
copy, but if any subscriber does
not receive copy, he should call
the telephone business office.

La Motta Gets Chance
For Fistic REVENGE
Favored to Stop Reeves,
Who Beot Him Twice
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 19.-The popu-
larity of New York's Jolting Jacob
La Motta as a Detroit adopted son
will undergo severe test tonight
at Olympia Stadium in a 10-round
fight with Jimmy Reeves of Cleve-
land.
La Motta, the one-man riot from
the Bronx, wasn't even listed in the
first 10 of the middleweight division
when he came to Detroit on New
Year Day to fight Jimmy Edgar.
Largely against smaller opponents.
La Motta ran up winning streak
here, climaxed by a surprise victory
over Ray (SugaD Robinson. He
was beaten in his last start by Rob-
inson, but is popular mere.
La Motta dropped two decisions
in 194i to Reeves, one-time holder
of the National AAU lightweight
title, but Jacob is an 8-to-5 choice
to get one of those back tonight.
They are to come in at 162 pounds.
Joey Pirrone of Cleveland has
replaced Lulu Costantino of New
York, who pleaded illness, as the
opponent of Joe Bagnato of To-
ronto in another 10-rounder.

with one of its own and never was
threatened seriously thereafter.
