1900 al Lancaster
Acclaim Symphony
snseial pispoteh 10 The Stor

LANCASTER, Pa, Mar. 20-The
National Symphony Orchestra last
night received an ovation from 1900
persons at concert here.
Although the audience had looked
forward to the return of DR.. Hans
Kinder. conductor, and a favorite
with music lovers here, it was not
disappointed with the performance
under Howard Mitchell. Mr.. Mitch
ell, assistant conductor, substituted
for DR.. Kinder, who is i'll in Wash
ington.
The program included Symphony
in D Minor" by Franck; 1.-TWO
Etudes," by Scriabin, and "Capric-
clio Espagnol," by Rimsky- -Korsakov
all of which were so we'll received
that no less than four encores would
satisfy the audience.
The orchestra more than did JUS
tice to the somber symphony by
Franck, which was the principal
work of the evening. The horn
passages and other solo work were
outstanding. The allegretto partic-
ularly was fine and the rest of the
work was done with a surface finish
which usually is identified with
French music.
The two Scriabin etudes were ad-
mirably treated for orchestra and
were well received. In spite of GER
tain relatively striking character
istics, the pieces usually sound
amazingly conventional when Or
chestrated, though never common
place.
Rimsky -Korsakov's music, as
usual, pleased the audience. The
f1ashy "Capriccio Espagnol" was
played so well by the National Sym
phony that the audience would not
let the musicians quit until they had
played four encores-the wedding
professional music from Mozart's
Marriage of Figaro" Debussy's
Clair de Lune," Lecudna's "Anda-
lusia' and Morton Gould's "Ameri-
can Salute"

Arlington Strip
In Neviius Tract
Delays Hospital.
Acre Also Is Situated
In Path Of Proposed
County Highway
By George Beveridoe

A 1-acre strip that belongs to
Arlington County Is holding up the
Veterans ADMINISTRATIONS acouisi-
ton of the 25-acre Nevius tract in
Arlington as the site of Washington's
new hospital for veterans, 1t was
learned today.
The strip cuts across the entire
tract, which Is at the southwest
corner OF Lee boulevard and Arling-
ton Ridge road. 1t lies in the path
OF a projected county highway.
A. T. Lundberg, chief of the
countys' department Of public serv-
ice, said plans already have been
drawn for the proposed highway.
1t would be an extension of Lynn
street, he said, cutting across Lee
boulevard and the Nevius tract and
extending into Fort Myer. Lynn
street now extends south for only
about two blocks from Key Bridge.
The strip of land formerly be-
longed to the Arlington-Fair
Railway Co. as a streetcar right-of-
way from Rosslyn to Fort Myer, Mr..
Lundberg said. He added that he
hoped the plans could be carried
out without interfering with the
hospital construction.
The highway plans were to be sent
to Veterans Administration today,
Mr.. Lundberg said, to see whether
the two projects would conflict.
Veterans Administration officials,
meanwhile, announced 10 days ago
that 1t would ask the Attorney Gen.
eral to file condemnation proceed
ings on the Nevius property within
a few days" The statement was
made after officials said thev ex-
pected to acquire promptly the one
acre strip from Arlington County.
Today, w. e. Bowie, chief of the
agency's real estate section, said
condemnation action probably will
be filed "in about q week" No re-
quest has been sent as yet to the
Justice Department, he declared.
The agency decided to request
condemnation after owners of the
property refused an offer of $751;.

The little boy with a bandaged
head stood up in his crib when a
group of pink-uniformed women
entered his ward at the hospital.
Are you going to give me drink
Of water?" he demanded.
He was handed the water and then
he relaxed to listen as one of the
women sat down to read to him.
A younger boy at the other end of
the ward opened his eyes and smiled
when another young woman in pink
took him into her arms and held a
bottle to his mouth. His crib was
remade with fresh bedclothes while
he was drinking the milk.
From Volunteer Group.
These services and many others
required by children have been taken
over at the Alexandria Hospital by
a group of women trained. exclusively
to care for the small patients.
Known as pediatrics aides. their
work is done entirely on, a volunteer
basis. Some of them also are quail
fed as nurses aides, but this Is not
required.
Twenty-seven pediatrics aides
qualified to serve after completion of
the first course conducted by DR..
Robert B. Hightower, Alexandria
child specialist. They began helping
out around the first of the year and
soon will be joined by second class
of about Is new aides.
Why They Chose Pink.
Instead of the blue denim uni
forms worn by regular nurses aides,
the pediatrics aides chose pink, 'be-
cause they thought that color would
appeal most to the children" Miss
Marie Downey, chairman of all
volunteer aides at the hospital said
Children cared for by the aides
range in age from about months to
II years. Only q few of the aides
are permitted to help with the new
born. Although actual medical tasks,
such as dressing wounds or admin
istering medicine, is handled either
by the regular nurses or doctors, the
work of the aides frees the full-time
hospital personnel for duties that re-
quire professional training.
Nobody seemed to have any
trouble learning to help out with
the children-it just came naturally
to most of them," Miss Downey said.
She pointed out that more than
half of the first class were married
and had children of their own.
Project For the Year.
Miss Downey said the idea for
the pediatrics aides was evolved
when the Womens Auxiliary Board
of the hospital chose the pediatrics
ward as it's project for the year.
AS part of that program the
Pediatrics Corps was organized,
Miss Downey said.
The Alexandria Hospital be-
lieves these aides are unique in
hospitals of the Washington area.

Capital Transit Fare
Increase Plea Awaits
Decision Of PUG

Whether Washington will have
to pay more for its streetcar and
bus rides was in the hands of the
Public Utilities Commission today.
The Capital Transit Co., which
has asked that tokens be scrapped
in favor of straight 10-cent fares
and that weekly passes be raised
from $1.25 to $150, rested its case
as public hearings on the fare In
crease request closed yesterday.
In its closing statement, the
transit company told the PUG the
record of the hearings had clearly
demonstrated the need for the in
crease.
Deficits Are Continuing.
1.-THE true seriousness of the COM
pany's situation" the statement
said, did not become apparent un-
til after its application was filed on
January IT.
. "At that time, 1t was known that
the company had incurred an actual
deficit in net income for the month
of December, 1916.
Subsequent operations have
shown that this deficit did not rep
resent a temporary financial con-
dition, but instead, marked the be-
ginning of period Of continuing
deficits"
The company referred to earlier
testimony that 1t sustained a net
loss for January and February
1947 Of s149,297, compared with a
net profit of $199,145 for the same
two months last year.
Increasing Costs Seen.
Costs will tend to increase and
passenger riding to decrease this
year, the company contended.
In view of what has happened In
the last two months, it went on
the company's earlier estimate that
1947 would net it only s231,78 in
operating income may have "errec
on the optimistic side"
Part of the company's statement
sought to refute the contention o1
some witnesses that the increase ir
fares would have little change or
the riding habits of the public. The
company has contended there woulo
be sharp drop in the number OF
passengers carried as soon as ar
increase were put into effect.
The company made no comment
on suggestions made during the
hearings for a stabilization fund ir
which the profits of good years
would be used to equalize the losses
of poor years.
