Mrs. Leslie B. Wriqht
Urged for ABC Board
By Senator Capper

Tne appointment OF MIS-. Leslie %
Wright, national legislative chair
man of the General Federation OF
Women,s Clubs, to the District Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board Is be-
ing urged by Senator Capper, Re-
publican, of Kansas, it was learned
today.
Senator Capper, long interested In
District affairs, sent an airmail let
ter to the commissioners advocating
Mrs. Wright's appointment. The
Commissioners will discuss naming
a member to the board next Tuesday
to fill the vacancy created by the
death of william P. Meredith Sun
day.
Mrs. Wright, who lives at 462C
Thirtieth street NV, has been leg1s-
lative chairman for the District Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs for the
last three years and was named to
the national Office in June.
Peters Also Urged.
Another person backed for the
vacancy by other Washingtonians is
j. Wilton Peters, washington repre-
sentative of textile manufacturers.
The Commissioners yesterday con-
sidered filling the vacancy, but Com
missioner Guy Mason said he wanted
to discuss it further on Tuesday,
when the Board of Commissioners
holds it's next regular meeting.
Meanwhile ABC Chairman Alan
w. Payne announced that action on
five requests for liquor licenses in
dispute will be taken after a new
board member is named.
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Meredith had
heard testimony on request by
Morris Hickman to move his liquor
store from HOO Connecticut avenue
NV. to 5104 Macarthur boulevard
NV, and on restaurant applications
of Mercy Jones at Fourteenth and
Swami streets NV, and of William
S. Williams at 600 Division avenue
NE. Because no decision was given
in these cases before Mr.. Meredith's
death, Mr.. Payne explained it will
be necessary to rehear them. The
boards other member, Mrs. Agnes
K. Mason, was on vacation and did
not participate.
Protest Hearings Postponed.
Protest hearings on an application
by Deane Liquors, Inc, to transfer
class A license from 2406 Four
teenth street NV, to 1913 Kenil-
worth avenue NE, were postponed
until September "A.
Hearings on an application for a
restaurant license by Gardiner
Spring White for 319 Pennsylvania
avenue Sc. have been postponed
indefinitely.
Mr.. Payne explained today there
is a possibility that with only two
members of the board setting no de-
cision may be reached. When a
third member is named, the testi-
mony would have to be gone over
again, he said. For this reason, he
said, it seems desirable to wait until
the third member of the board
takes Office.
Mrs. James T. Ryan, 317 Pennsyl-
vania avenue Sc, funeral home
proprietor, has protested the grant
ing of license to Mr.. White, whose
restaurant is next door. Her at
torney, w. Edwin Cumberland, chal-
lenged the legality of only two
members of the board ruling on
case.
Evening star., 1947-09-05
By J. B. Zotmon

The majestic strains of a Bach
choral filled the house at 1O1 West
Leland street, Chevy Chase, Md.
From the merest whisper, the in
tricate counterpart of the great
composer swelled until it shook the
knickknacks on the living room
table.
The music came from an organ In
a corner of the room. Seated at
the console was 25-year-old Joseph
S. Whiteford, for whom the instru-
ment represented the elimination
of Is years of effort.
Ever since he was 10 Mr.. White
ford has been collecting pieces OF
metal, wire and wood in the hope OF
building his own organ. Just two
weeks ago he put the last OF the
1 ,608 pipes in place and hooked up
his final electrical connection.
As he played, the keys OF piano
behind him suddenly started going
up and down. An echo of the music
came from the second floor. 1t
sounded as though some one had
just opened a door. Then the echo
faded away and it seemed that the
door had closed. The reporter was
mystif1ed.
How 1t Works.
Lifting his hands from the key
board, the tall Army veteran swung
around on his seat. AS If in answer
to the reporters unspoken ques-
tions, he said, let me show you
how this thing works"
Leading the way downstairs to a
basement room about 20 feet long
10 feet wide and IS feet high, ne
waved his hand at a maze of wires
Beside the wires were strips OF
wood, one below each other, with
small leather bellows between each
strip. On the wall was what ap-
peared to be huge fan with a pipe
in front it. Immediately below
that was a large box with pipes
leading out in all directions.
These pieces of wood bound with
leather are called pneumatics," Mr.
Whiteford explained. Fastened te
the inner sides of the strips are
metal contacts.
when press a key on the Or
gan, it touches wire which actl-
Yates a magnet, allowing the air
to leave the pneumatic and collaps-
ing the leather. This, in turn,
closes q circuit and activateS anoth-
er magnet In the wind chest on the
second floor. The magnet moves
a valve, permitting air to 60 into
the pipe"
What about the large box? That,
according to Mr.. Whiteford, simply

Man Gets Years Probation
In Indecent Exposure Case

Lewis Nicotra, 80, of the $500
block of Second street NV. today
was fined $3.50 for indecent exposure
and put on probation for one year
on condition that he will get PSYCHE
atric treatment.
In putting Nicotra on probation,
Municipal Judge George D. Nelson
suspended imposition OF SIX
months jail sentence.
Nicotra was arrested August u:
Park Policewoman Grace Judy said
he exposed himself in her presence
in Anacostia Park. He was con-
victed the following day and ms
case was referred to the probation
Office for investigation. The prooa-
tion office recommended psychlatrlc
treatment. Court attaches salo
Nicotra had no previous record.

Veteran Labors for IS Years
To Build Orqdn From Odd Parts

contains several fans which pro-
vide air for the organ pipes. The
fan with the pipe in front OF 1t IS
homemade humidifier The pipe
throws fine mist of water in front
of the fan which blows it into the
air when the "humidstat" invented
by Mr.. Whiteford decides the room
needs some moisture.
In the ceiling was small trap
door leading to the room contain
ing the 1,600-odd pipes. 1t was a
second-foor porch before Mr..
Whiteford converted it into an or
gan loft.
How much did all this cost7 Mr.
Whiteford estimates it at about S.
600. But he fastened to add that
only space limitations kept him from
adding more pipes.
Started IL Years Ago.
1t all started II years ago when
he began taking organ lessons. Six
months later, he abandoned the les
son, "or the teacher abandoned me, u
he says, and he started studying the
organ himself. The idea of building
an organ came to him two years
later.
The mystery Of the self-playing
piano was simple after Mr.. White
ford explained it. He merely hooked
up the organ with the piano by
means of an electrical cable. The
upstairs echo actually was made by
a door opening and closing, which
was controlled at the keyboard.
In second-foor closet Mr.
Whiteford put a set Of pipes. Two
wooden arms hinged in the middle
are fastened to the door and wall
of the closet. Attached to the
hinges is nylon fishing line which
goes down what was formerly the
back stairs to an accordion like af-
fair.
When he pushes a pedal at the
organ, air goes into the folds of the
accordion" AS 1t fills and expands
it draws the line which pulls the
hinges of the wooden arms, thus
opening the door.
Mr.. Whiteford was stationed al
Atlantic City for a while during his
service with the Air Corps. There
he had access to the largest organ
in the world and he played a regu-
lar Sunday radio program from it
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roger
J. Whiteford, he is attending

School. His father is an attorney

Virginia Composer
Writes Symphony To
Be Given In April

The convention OF the National
Federation of Music clubs April
10 to q, inclusive. in Detroit,

premiere of what is probably the
most monumental instrumental
work yet written which has its
genesis and inspiration in Ameri-

II is a symphony of more than
80 minutes playing time by the
Virginia composer, John Pow
ell, which was commissioned by
the Federation in 1882 during the
presidency of Mrs. Ruth Halter

loft. 1t has involved nearly IS
years Of research and experiment
tation before being brought to
completion under the current

ira under the baton of DR.. Karl
