He has grown up with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra,
since his father, Emmanuel
Fielder, came from Europe to
accept the position of first vio-
linist with the orchestra He
was born in Boston, studied q.
Public Latin School, went on
to the Royal Academy in Ber-
lin 10 complete his musical
education and studied violin
with Willy Hess, once concert
master of the Boston Sym
phouy. In 1915 he became a
member of the orchestra in
good standing under DR.. Karl
Muck, first playing violin and
later viola. He founded the ES-
planade concerts in 1929 and
the following year was sp-
pointed conductor of Pops.
In the Coast Guard Now
His contribution to the war
does not end with making re-
cordings for the men overseas
or with giving pleasure to
thousands Of war workers at
home through the Esplanads
/ concerts. During the winter he
gives a full day each week.
from Z in the morning until
7 in the evening to harbor
| patrol work as a member Ct
the Temporary Reserve Of the
United States Coast Guard.
Ask him the nature Of his du-
ties, and he smiles and says
Il can't tell you. Interesting
experiences? Yes. but I can't
/ tell you about them either. We
are concerned with port secuT-
ity,. that's all"
He had never had any sea-
faring experiences before he
| joined the Temporary Reserve
on October 80 last year, but
said, Il wanted to DO my BIT.
Somebody has to, and we have
been told that the biggest pro-
portion Of harbor patrol work
is now being done by Temper
airy Reserves, so that We at
least have the satisfaction Of
knowing that We are releasing
men for more active duty

service, like most busy men, lie

and admiration of musicians
and deYotees OF music not on

are heard.

It was one o'clock and the
IS Symphony players of the
Boston Pops orchestra had Just
finished rehearsing tor the
evenings performance under
Arthur Fielder. The day was
very hot and close. Most Of
them were in sports attire or
in their shirt sleeves. Mr..
Fielder himself was wearing a
maroon polo shirt and and
white Stacks. Although he was
tired and very busy, ne was
quite willing to give a few
minutes TO a reporter at the
close Of a Pops season which
has been even more successful
than usual.
Views Successful Season
He attributes the unusually
large attendance and early
Sell-out of tickets partly to
the war and the fact that peo-
pie have more money to spend
on entertainment than ever
before. What he cannot under
stand is the attitude Of young
men, evidently intent upon
impreSSing their girls, who
give up the idea of going TO
Pops at al, rather than ask
their girls to sit in the second
balcony when table and first
balcony seats are sold out.
IF I want to see an opera
or hear a concert. I take what
seats I can get. If was talk
ing my girl TO see 'Othelle' and
was told that only balcony
seats were available, I would
tell her frankly. Well, you see
how it is. I don't want to be a
piker, but balcnoy seats are all
I can get. Do you want TO see
this or don't you?"
Girls Everywhere
Mr.. Fielder talks with as
much energy and emphasis as
he puts into his conducting. He
| commented on the large pro-
/ portion Of women in Pops aud
/ fences. Il looked up in the
second balcony one evening
recently, and it was full of
girls. 7 couldn't see a man
there. 1t was terrific, he said,
shaking his head.
The Pops Programs
It is a matter of course for
Arthur Fielder to notice his
audience, More than any Of his
I. predecessors he studies his
| audiences. noticing the selec-
tons which appeal to them. He
has combined popular hit
tunes such as Oklahoma Sc
lections with such works as
Wagner's introduction to the
third act Of 'Lohengrin" and
RoSsini's Overture to William
Tell, " keeping a nice balance
between the classical and mod
ern, the light and the more
serious music. TITS like mixing
q salad" he said.
The Pops repertory includes
several hundred works in a
single season and is constant
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1944-07-15

ly augmented with popular hits
and with new works by Amer
lean composers. IF it's good
and I know about it, said Mr..
Fielder, "a new piece of music
generally appears on the Pops
program. Forty years ago he
Merry Widow selections were
played frequently, think that
'Stardust,' Smoke Gets in Your
Eyes and some of the tunes
from Oklahoma will be pop
ular forty years from now,
while naturally many Of the
current tunes will be forgot
ten"
Truckloads Of music arrive
at Symphony Hall for Mr..
Fielder consideration during
the Pops season. Two success
full first performances this
year were Keith Browns "BCs-
tonia Suite" and Vaughn Will
liams' English Folk Song
Suite" Mr.. Fielder also tries
to encourage young musicians.
and many appear as seloiSts on
Pops programs.
mo Great Song in This War
Although hundreds of war
songs are sent to Mr.. Fielder,
he agrees with the music crit
les declaration that no great,
living song has yet come out
Of this war. But after all, IS
he said, How many songs
have survived the last war?
Three or four. And those were
the songs the men were sing
ing in France. We don't know
what the men are singing. I
believe that the song Of this
war will be something the men
bring home with them, and We
may not discover it until the
fighting is nearly over"
Pops in New Guinea
His fanmaiI comes from as
far away places as Alaska and
New Guinea, from seryicemen
who have heard recordings or
rebroadeastS Of the Pops pro-
grams. The appreciation shown
in their letters is more than
ample proof of the value OF
music to these men away from
home. Certainly the large and
enthusiastic Pops audiences
indicate the value OF music ir
wartime TO those at home and
prophesv even larger audiences
at the EsDlanads when the
concerts begin there next

duction for the first quarter OF
1914 to 41O ships, aggregating A.
1881 dead weight tons, the COM
mission announced Wednesday.
Production for the first quarter
of 1943 totaled 379 vessels of 3,757,-

WASHINGTON, April 5. up
Three government agencies dealing
with food and farm products re-
ported Wednesday that:

creased during March. and if they
continue to increase, point values
can be decreased
2. There is no surplus of sugar
but rather a six per cent reduction
in total civilian supplies as COM
pared to l943.
3. There should be little more"
beef and a little less pork next fall.
f. An impending wheat shortage
may force cutting in half of live
stock feeding next year and cur
tailment Of industrial alcohol pro-
duction from wheat.
The War Food Administration,
optimistic over the butter situation,
said supplies at the end Of March
we're mostly adequate" to fill ra-
toned civilian demands. However,
WA said, sales were still below
normal due to the high 16-point ra-
ton value coupled with the wide
spread use of margarine and other
spreads"

Coastal Areas
Face Heavy
Labor Shortage

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5. CUP)
The west coast labor shortage
will reach its most critical stage
within three months with 100 per
cent more manpower needed than
is now available" William Hopkins,
regional director Of War ManpoWer
Commission predicted here Tuesday
before Senator Sheridan DoWney's
one-man subcommittee hearings on
California war problems.
Hopkins blamed part of the
Shrinkage Of manpoWer on predic-
tions of an early peace which caus-
ed many persons "to return to their
home states
The labor problem and testimony
of Joseph j. Deuel., California Farm
Bureau Federation official, that
California agriculturists are faced
with serious truck shortage, were
highlights of the initial session of
the U. S. senate hearing attended
by army, navy and numerous war
agency representatives.
Deuel. pointed out that no more
than 10000 trucks would be regis
tered in California this year, as
against 100000 in 1941. Normal re-
placement has been about 10000
annually, he said.
Deuel. claimed that California
agriculture was slated by the Of
flee of Defense Transportation to
get 100 new trucks last year, but
the whole state only was given
that number"
Robert Hicks, ODT representa-
tive from Washington, announced
that California will get $500 of the
$4,000 new trucks to be released
this year for civilian use through
out the nation.
