Symphony Campaign
Looks 10 Government
Workers for Success

AS the National Symphony Or
chestra's drive for $13O,O0O entered
its final phase today, leaders count
ed heavily on Government workers
to contribute their share to support
the orchestra.
E. R. Finkenstaedt, drive chair
man, said yesterday that I'VE are
stalking the success of the drive on
the Government committee" The
quota for this committee is $50, 900,
of which only 81 ,528 had been raised
at the report meeting last Friday.
The campaign for funds to carry
the orchestra through next season
officially closes tomorrow with final
reports scheduled to be given by
chairmen of the IL fund-raising
committees at a luncheon in the
Hotel Statler Thursday.
Mr. Finkenstaedt and members of
the Government committee said
they were sure the interest dis
played at the Federal Employees
Command Performance" last week
would reflect itself in support OF
the orchestra.
II was told" said the drive chair
man, that active campaigning in
the Government agencies would
start this week. but because of the
interest they expressed at the con-
cert l have every expectation that
we will see splendid results from this
large and very important part OF
Washington.
John C. Junek, member of the
Government committee, said he felt
the command performance was the
start of a real community feeling
realization to hundreds of people
that the orchestra is really their
own, and that they can share the
exhilirating experience of being at
one with such magnificent body"

U. 5. Primary Aluminium
Output Up 75% in 1943

Ey the Associated rress.
Production of primary aluminium
in 1943 totaled 1900 900 900 pounds,
Is per cent increase over l942 the
War Production Board reports.
A canvass of all production re-
ports, the board said yesterday,
showed peak production of primary
aluminium was reached during the
final quarter of 1914, when average
monthly production was 1876 900 900
pounds.
Aluminium recovered from sec
ondary sources during the year ex-
ceeded 100000 pounds, the WPB
reported, up sharply from the $780,
400 900 pounds recovered in 1912.
During 1943 Canadian aluminium
sent to the United States amounted
to 428, ZOO, 900 pounds, compared with
the 262, 300 pounds Canada shipped
to the United States in 1912.
The WPB recently ordered a
number of aluminium production
lines closed down because the out
put Of primary aluminium exceeded
combined military and essential
civilian requirements.

ID. T.. Architect Assai|s
|AFL Statement on
Public Housing Costs

Matthew G. Lepley, Washington
architect, yesterday took vigorous
exception to claims made by Harry
c. Bates, chairman of the Housing
Committee of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, that Government
agencies have built housing for low
income families at less cost than
private builders could manage.
Private builders did not fail tc
furnish type, kind or quality of any
project" wrote Mr.. Lepley in a let
ter to Mr.. Bates. .-.
Since 1941, private builders were
told by the Quota Boys the size
house, the size apartment, the size
OF each room and even restricted the
amount of material that could be
used for each square foot of rentable
space produced by private builders
and in early 1943 stopped all priori-
ties and left only the Government
agencies in the building field.
THE comparison of costs of the
Defense Homes Corp. project at the
Mclean Gardens is fair ano honest
because it substantiates the fact
that private builders can produce fo,
one-third what the Mclean Gardens
job cost and this was done within ]
mile of the Mclean Gardens Job by
a client of mine, witt, every appoint
ment OF the Mclean Gardens
matched, and better construction
our buildings being fireproofed, Nc
Lean Gardens semifireproof.
Within seven blocks of this job
and another group within five blocks
OF this job, Mr.. Ihlder John l:llder
executive officer of the National
Capital Housing Authority built
wooden shacks on leased ground at q
cost of 5000 per unit more than the
job I just referred TO-"
Mr.. Bates claim on the low cost
OF Government housing was con-
tanned in letter 10 Chairman Bur-
ton OF the Senate District Subcom-
mittee investigating LEGAL housing
conditions.

IWLB Panel Orders
Union Maintenance
For Phone Workers

Voluntary maintenance of union
membership and substantial reduc-
tions in the length of time required
for employees to reach maximum
wage rates were among the provi-
sions for employees of the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. ordered
by the Third Regional War Labor
Board yesterday.
Affected by the order, retroactive
to last August 6, are $500 workers
in the traffic, plant and commercial
departments as well as all female
clerical workers IN all departments
of the company. The case involved
a dispute between the telephone
company and the Federation of Tele-
phone Employees of the District.
In addition to maintenance O.
membership, the order granted the
unions request for double-time pay
for work on "the third and subse-
quent consecutive Sundays worked
regardless as to whether such Sun
days are the seventh day in a regu-
lar work week or not" The unions
request for increased and differ
iential pay was referred back to the
parties for further negotiations
while request for premium pay
for seven hour day employees
when they work a sixth consecutive
day was denied
In the same order. the board also
provided that rates in the Rockville
plant and Offices be raised to the
present Kensington and Berwyn
wage schedules. Meanwhile, the
Kensington rates are to be raised
to the present Falls Church rates
and the latter rates are to equal
those paid in Washington.
Members of the Labor Board
panel heard the case here last Sep
tember and held a second regional
board meeting in Baltimore.
