NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
Follows brief bit OF musical his-
tory which only Bostonians Of ripe
age will remember:
In the decade beginning 1871
Boston was celebrating In various
ways-all Of them entcrprising, some
Spectacular century Of national
independence.
Music played q prominent part
| In the observance and, as 4 master
stroke, Johann Strauss, then In the
flower Of his fame, was brought to
this country to conduct one concert
comprising all his best known works.
The year was 1872 and Strauss de-
manded for his visit exactly 500, 900
which, without demur, was accepted.
When he arrived In New York
from Vienna his reception was no
less enthusiastic than In his subse-
quent appearance In Boston where,
indeed, he found something more
tangible than handshaking, recep-
tions and the like. What he found,
so I am told, was huge building
accommodate thousands Of audi
tors with q musical organization Of
5000 musicians, 10000 singers and
l ASV sSS0ANSeAAAV SSAAAANV0A0s
Conductor Was Amazed.
Amazed at an organization so
vast, the first question the composer
asked when he learned of its scope
was how in the world q unison of
effect could be produced. Reply was
that the signal for the beginning
OF each piece would be the detona-
tion OF large cannon outside the
building. Which was done With
every good result that could have
been wished for, or expected.
The stupendous concert, in truth,
was in every phase successful. Lovely
women abandoned reserve in their
alteration Of the young musician
and when he had completed his
Boston commitment he made a tour
of IA Eastern cities, thereby increas-
Ing materially an original fee which,
in those days, was literally a for
tune and even today by no means
falls into the colloquial category of
peanuts.
Now, coming up to the present,
we find Alfred Greenwald, librettist
OF various accomplishment, includ-
Ing "the Countess Maritza," Drop
ping into the apartment of Felix
Brentano, producer for the new
opera company Of "Rosalinda, "The
Merry Widow" and other successes.
with a script under his arm.
Felix" he said, "here is some
thing I'd like you to read at your
convenience"
Read Script in Bath.
Glancing at the huge pile of
manuscripts on his desk, Brentano
groaned, but told his friend to add
his opus to the miniature mountain
of paper. This was last February.
Every day subsequently for about q
fortnight Brentano observed that
pile with bleak and forbidding eve
until one afternoon, bound for his
bath, he decided to read a script
IN the tub. Picking the thinnest
packet out Of the pile. it turned out
to be the script Greenwald had left
for consideration. Brentano never
took his eyes from the story until
he had finished it-until the water
in the tub had turned chill.
Now you know the way in which
an operetta, or a musical comedy,
or a play with music-Brentano is
not yet certain what sort of tag the
piece will bear-comes into being:
one way, at any rate.
And on January 9 next, or there

abouts, first-night audience OF the
metropolis will see and hear some-
thing that musically, anyway. is
likely to be worth while-Mr.
Strauss Goes to Boston"
As to the music, I can speak with
some confidence inaSmuch as George
Stolz has already set the piece
which now awaits the completed
nbretto OF 0rceNwald and Geza
Herczeg, with lyricist yet to be
assigned. I spoke Of the New York
opening and lest Boston feel that
the proprieties have been over
looked, be 1t said that quite Justly
IT will be the first to see Mr.
Strauss"-on Christmas night next.
The Week Was Weak.
In view Of the openings of the

and antiseptic to think in terms OF

TELEVISTON:

Although Lewiston will come into
general use after the war, it will be
an addition to-, and not a substitute
for, radio, Chairman James l.. Fly
of the Federal Communications COM
mission declared.
Said he: "You can't sit and look at

and make the beds, or play bridge,
or wash the dishes, as you can with
oral broadcasting. Television . . .

grams.
Fly also recounted the spectacular
rise in revenue of standard stations
and networks during the war years,
time sales in 1913 amounting to 1876
million dollars, with net income of
&C million dollars, as compared with
time sales in 1912 of 164 million dol
lars and profits of As million dollars.

PACIFIC:
Subs Boost Bag

While U. S. army and navy planes
pounded the japanese Pacific out
posts preparatory to further strides
along the stepping-stones to the Ash
attic mainland, American SUBJ
marines continued their deadly
warfare against enemy shipping.
In latest operations in far Pacific
waters, U. S. subs were credited
with bagging II vessels, including
two destroyers, to bring the total
number sunk or damaged to 875
since Pearl Harbor.
Operating from advance bases,
U. S. bombers hammered Halma-
hera, strategic gateway to the
Philippines, and also hit the enemy's
supply lines in neighboring waters.

WAGES:
Top Levels

With employment % per cent over
January, 1941, weekly and hourly
earnings in Is manufacturing indus
tries rose to record levels for June.
AS a result of the payment of
higher wages to obtain help in the
lourishing labor market, and over
time to meet war demands, work.
ers' weekly earnings averaged $49.23
for the month, 60 per cent over
January, 1941, while hourly pay
totaled $1.06, a rise of 40 per cent
over three and a half years ago.
Because of a slight dip in living
costs for the month, real earnings"
or income in relation to the price
of goods-increased almost 2 per
cent over May.

WORLD WHEAT:
Ample Surplus

With the four great wheat-produc-
ing nations of the U. S., Canada,
Argentina and Australia expected
to harvest 1900, 600, 900 bushels in
1914, and with a carry-over of 1,100,-
900, 900 bushels as of July l, total
supplies will approximate 3,000,-
600, 900 bushels for the coming year.
Of the amount, the International
Wheat council reported, the four ma
tons will consume about 700, 900 900
bushels and use another 700, 900, 900
for seed and other non-food uses,
leaving a ser of 1000, 900, 900
bushels. Of this amount, about 600,-
600, 900 bushels will be exported, the
council said, and 200, 900, 900 will
constitute a working stock, leaving a
follower supply of 300, 0O0, 900.
AS the result of unusually favor
able July weather for spring wheat
in Minnesota and North Dakota, the
U. S. department of agriculture
estimated a total wheat crop of
1882, 000, 900 bushels for this year,
which would make the U. S. har-
vest about half of the big four's.

BEEF
BEEF:
Cheap Grades abound

Rejecting the heavy run of grass
fed cattle, August beef production
in federally inspected plants reached
the all-time record output for that
month of 500, 900 900 pounds, and 81
per cent higher than the same
period last year.
Meanwhile, August pork produc-
ton was 10 per cent under August
of last year, rejecting continued
short receipts in the markets, which
were expected to prevail until Octo-
Der when the spring crop is moved
to slaughter.
AS a result of the heavy CRASHED
marketings, ample supplies of lean,
pointless utility beef will be avail
able to consumers, but the govern
ment's recent order to packers to
set aside so per cent of their higher
grades for military and lend-lease
account, will decrease the supply Of
the choicer roasts and steaks.

POLIO:

Abating in some sections, infantile
paralysis has increased in others,
with the result that the U. S. is
experiencing it's worst polio cpl
demic in % years, although the
6,258 cases reported up to August
10 were far below the 1916 high of
1875.
Offsetting downward trends re-
ported in North Carolina and Ken
lucky were increases in New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia. States reporting
mild or normal medicines included
California, Kansas, Utah, Florida,
Arkansas, Arizona, Missouri, Wyo-
ming and Oklahoma. New England
and the mountain states reported
few cases.
AS a result of the high incidence
in some areas, school openings have
been delayed as much as a month.
All children under IA were banned
from swimming pools and theaters
in Kentucky, and those under IL

INCOME TAX:

Thirty million taxpayers earning

Uncle Sam himself will undertake
to figure out the taxpayers liability
next year after he has filed a with
holding receipt furnished by his en-
ployer showing income and pay-as-
you-go deductions with space for
listing exemptions.
In figuring out the taxpayers
liability, Uncle Sam will allow 10

tons, interest, medical expenses,
etc., and anyone claiming larger
credits for these items will have
to file a 1040 form.

WORLD MONOPOLY:
Peace Threat

Declaring that cartels - agree
ments among different international
business firms for controlling world
trade-formed the basis for Germa-
ny's military rejuvenation, Attorney
General Francis Biddle told con-
gress that such enterprises must be
destroyed if the Allies are to control
the enemies capacity for future
war.
AS a result of cartel agreements,
Biddle said, important companies
were kept from South American
markets; others could not manufac-
ture such strategic products as syn
thetic rubber; development of the
magnesium industry was retarded;
an American company was prevent
ed from selling a certain munition
to the British, and restrictions were
imposed on plastic production.
Even though certain giant German
corporations were prevented from
manufacturing military products
after the war, Biddle said, they
worked around these restrictions by
organizing subsidiaries in other
countries.
