Conductors At Odds

| Leopold Stokowski and Arturo Toscanini
are not in complete agreement on conducting
orchestras. 1t cannot be called battle of the
batons as Mr.. Stokowski no longer Yields a
wand Once he did, with violence and con-
tortions, but following bout with rheumatism
quieted down and in recent years has SUBJ
stituted his right forefinger, merely throwing
the score from choir to choir with a mild
wiggle thereof.
Nor has it anything to do with genuflec-
tons from the podium It has nothing to do
with gyrations, which Mr.. Toscanini would
surrender only over his dead body. His love
for his baton is little less than for the music
concert when he directed the greatest aggre-
cation of instrumental and vocal artists ever
assembled for a single performance in this
country and raised a fabulous amount of
money for that great agency of mercy they
can't come too big. In this it appears he re-
sembles the California carpenter who had a
separate set of tools for all sizes of buildings,
using the small ones on small house and
larger ones for bigger dwellings, and, like
Mr.. Toscanini, did good job on ALL
Nor is it reported that the gentlemen find
themselves divided on personal grounds Each
respects the other personally and artistically.
But it may be that Mr.. Toscaaini is bit
jealous of Mr.. Stokowski Artists are often
born that way and never get over it. Any
way, Mr.. Toscanini has objected to sharing
with Mr. Stokowski the leadership of the NBC
orchestra during the coming season, and so
strong is his hold on that organization that
the National Broadcasting Company has not
renewed Mr.. Stokowski's contract. The reason
given is that Mr.. Toscanini believes it would
be better for the orchestra if it had one prin-
cipal conductor and were not asked to split
the winter season under two conductors with
contrasting styles
So. Mr.. Stokowsh goes out. There will be
guest conductors, including Eugene Ormaady
But no more split seasons Well the country
is large. Surely there are podums and audi
ences for each.

Postwar Trade With Russia

Amid the din Of representations on whittier
Russo-American relations after the war, Eric
Johnston, president of the u S. Chamber OF
Commerce, seems to have put his finger on
the governing factor when he brought u2 the
question Of postwar trade on his trip to the
U. S. S. R.
Johnston, first private citizen to visit Mos
COW by official invitation, told a press con.
ference that Foreign Trade Commissar Anas-
tas Mikoyan had authorized him to say that
the Soviet Union wants to buy many billions
of dollars worth OF American goods on pur.
chase terms mutually advantageous to the
two countries.
Logically, the Soviet Union should offer a
big postwar market for American products

More About Memorials

The suggestion Of the city recreation direc-
tor, Jesse Reynolds, that Wilmington create a
memorial park in honor of it's war heroes has
sound support in an editorial in the archi-
tectural magazine "Penci1 Points," which
urges that after the war we build memorials
instead of monuments.
H. R. Emory, executive director of the Will
mington Housing Authority, in directing our
attention to the above, adds, sit is definitely
fact that memorials can have utility as well
as good appearance To which we add that
if memorial is wisely located with reference
to community convenience it is not SO likely
to have to be moved as monument.
Washington, city of statues, has learned
with sorrow that with the great increase of
traffic and the need for wider and more
through streets and parking space, some of
its best monuments have created accident haz-
ards besides interfering with the smooth flow
of traffic.
The first to go was the famous Washington
statue in the plaza at the east front of the
Capitol-the marble shaft that bore the ia
miliar summation of the first President S
attributes, first in war, first in peace, first
in the hearts Of his countrymen. The eques-
trian statue of General Logan also had to be
moved to make way for traffic. Others have
been moved to new sites or removed entirely,
and as the National Capital continues to ex-
pand still others will have to 90.
To a lesser degree, to be sure, but still
inevitably, Wilmington faces the necessity to
find new sites for statuary. 1t is not probable
that it would ever have to relocate a great
memorial park dedicated jointly to its war
riors and to recreation and entertainment
Mr.. Reynolds suggestion deserves endorse
ment on every count.
