Symphony DiscIoses
S10,153 Deficit From
Water Cafe Season

The National Symphony Orches-
ira Association, celebrating its 10th
anniversary, reported a deficit OF
$10,153 for the summer season al
the Water Gate, which ended July
26, E. r. Finkenstaedt, president OF
the association announced last night
Half of the season OF 18 concerts
was affected by bad weather. Two
concerts were rained out and ad-
verse weather conditions prevailed
just before concert time on seven
other occasions. Other factors con-
tributing to the poor season were
given as the return to the f1ve-day
week. exodus of large numbers OF
military personnel Stationed here
temporarily, the end of gasoline ra
tioning and the lifting of wartime
travel restrictions.
Actual receipts for the season were
s49, ,12l, which compare favorably to
past years income, but expenses ran
higher than normal at $59,275. The
Water Gate in it's 10-year history
has yet to finish season without
a deficit. Deficits are covered by
the sustaining fund based on the
orchestras yearly budget.
208,500 Hear Concerts.
Mr. Finkenstaedt was able te
point to attendance figures, however
that somewhat lessened the pool
showing at the box Office. He esti.
mated that 208,500 people enjoyed
the concerts. OF these, only 65.16s
were paid admissions, the other 143,.
335 were the number believed by the
United States Park Police to have
heard the music from the bridge,
surrounding the shell, from canoe.
and from the grass parkways around
the site.
Five of the concerts were con-
sidered financial success. Police
estimated $4,000 heard Dorothy
Maynor in the opening concert,
$4,000 the Tchaikovsky program
Is 900 Alec Templeton; another
q, 900 the final concert with Lanny
Ross and DR.. Hans Kinder, who
had just returned from South
America, and 5000 turned out fol-
the Gershwin Memorial concert.
Season Tickets Decrease.
Single ticket sales ranged higher
than usual at s37.l4325. But season
tickets and strip ticket sales were
more than $4,000 below average al
only sl1,978.50. AS the symphony
| is supported by contributions from
Washingtonians as well as sale OF
tickets, the association feels an &C
counting is due them.
The Water Gate concerts are pre-
sented each season in cooperation
with the National Capital Park.

District Restaurants
Remove Price Lists
with 0PA Sanction

Price lists Of the 40 food items
most frequently served IN restau-
rants are being removed in Wash
ington eating places, an official OF
the Washington Restaurant Asso-
citation said last night.
OPA issued an order yesterday
withdrawing tn rule requiring res
taurants to post their ceiling prices
This was done, OPA said, because
restaurants now may include the
cost of ceiling free foods in calcu-
lating top prices for meals. Food
costs are f1uctuating so widely that
it would be impractical to arrive at
a set ceiling.
May Demand Posting.
OPA reminded restaurateurs that
should the Price Decontrol Board
order meats, dairy products and
other items back to price control
then posting may be required again
The restaurant official claimed
that despite individual instances o1
higher menu prices, the industry
here generally was holding down,
Its prices better than other large
cities.
Washington restaurateurs, he
pointed out, do not want to face
loss OF business resulting from toe
high prices. Accordingly, he added
the level of prices here may be ex.
pected to be reasonable.
The Bureau Of Labor Statistics
meanwhile, has reported that food
prices generally in Washington rose
81 per cent from mid-May to mid
June, even before the lapse of price
control. The agency's cost-of- LIVING
report issued monthly is regularly
about month and a half behind
current developments.
The increase in food costs was
attributed to rises In dairy and
bakery products and cereals prices
all commodities which have beer
marked by additional advances since
July /.
Clothing Prices Rise.
Clothing prices, the report noted
rose another per cent from Nav
to June. and on June Is were 1874 pei
cent above a year ago. Higher
prices were reported for most items
OF mems apparel and some women's
clothing.
Housefurnishings costs advanced
2.6 per cent, resulting In part from
higher prices for furniture and cook
stoves.
The new 81 haircuts now In ef-
feet in Washington barber shops
brought about is per cent increase
in miscellaneous goods and sery-
ices, the agency reported.
Only rents, fuel. electricity and
ice remained unchanged over the
30-day period.

when the House District Committee
