There's something strangely Diff
ferent about the violin playing
of Joseph Szigeti, internationally
known virtuoso who will be soloist
at $50 tonight with the National
Symphony Orchestra in Constitu-

Following public appearance, he
receives unusual and often pathetic
letters from total strangers, some
times celebrities. Not ordinary fan
letters, they all ask the same thing
advice.
The willowy Hungarian, who skill
fully coaxes soulful and expressive
music from the violin, can't ac-
count for the confidence his play
Ing inspires. The letters even come
1ntermittently from persons who
hear his recordings.
AS an example, he regularly re-
ceives notes from Jewish refugee
girl who fled from Berlin and now
lives in Christchurch, New Zealand.
She wants to come to America and
asks Mr.. Szigeti where to study

 In mid-February national CAP committee will make it's recommendations for perpetuation of the organization.
 In the meantime, CAP is re- ceiving around 75 new member ship application a day and about 75 per cent of these are veterans of the Army and Navy Air Forces.
 CAP is a kind of Red Cross of the airways. Its oldsters fly on missions of mercy throughout the land. Its cadets get basic training which equips them to become pi- lots and ground workers.

 On the practical side, they say: How can you keep out a union of 6O0,O00 members because it treads
