To Open Tomorrow

The annual campaign for funds
of the Arlington County Chapter OF
the Infantile Paralysis Foundation
will open tomorrow with goal OF
$25 900, Mrs. Laura T. Boldin, gen.
eral chairman, announced today.

Arlington last year had 80 new

records in the State. The Infantile

$4,000 in the county last year.
OF this amount, $4,000 went to
the Arlington County Crippled
Childrens Clinic for salaries of
physicians, nurses and other work.
ers; $1,000 was expended for equip
ment and $1,000 for disqualification.
Last years drive netted the Arl-
ington chapter little more than
$4,000.
This years campaign will seek
funds through the Mile O'Dimes
booth, solicitation in county schools
and through the mail. In addition,
Mrs. Boldin said, the committee is
urging county organizations to give
benefit parties.
For the first time in several years
there will be no solicitation in mo-
ton picture theaters.
Mrs. Boldin said that the Arl-
ington chapter offers its services
to the family of every polio victim,
regardless of their financial stand
ing or the severity of the case. She
said it is estimated that each polio
case costs $4,000. She reported there
now are three patients from Arling-
ton in iron lungs in Washington
hospitals for which the Infantile
Paralysis Foundation is paying $34
a day per patient.

| 10 Virginia Unions Again
| Hif Governors S Labor Bills
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 14.-Ten
Virginia labor unions, including
AFL, CIO and independent units,
united yesterday in issuing a state
ment reiterating their opposition to
the Governors labor bills banning
strikes in public utilities and pro-
hibiting closed shops in intrastate
industry.
The unions stated their belief that
such legislation "is untimely and
unnecessary and that a comprehen-
sive study of the entire labor sit
uation in Virginia should be made
previous to the introduction of any
such measures. We suggest that a
tripartite committee be named to
study and recommend legislation for
the regular session of the General
Assembly if the study proves that
legislation is needed"
The statement was signed by rep
|resentatives of the State Federation
of Labor, CIO of Virginia, Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, Brother
hood of Locomotive Enginemen and
Firemen, Order Of Railway Con-
|ductors, International Association OF
Machinists, International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, Interna-
tional Typographical Union, United
Mine Workers of America District

phone Workers.

Fourth Neighborhood Concert
Draws ! 500 to Mckinley High

The National Symphony Orches-
ira paid a visit to the neighbor-
hood of Second and T streets NE.
last night and the neighbors-some
/, 500 of them gathered in the audi
torium of Mckinley High School
loved it.
Last nights Neighborhood Con-
cert was the fourth of series
sponsored by The Evening Star.
It drew bobby soxers and gray,
dignifled matrons; spindly-legged
youths and somewhat corpulent old
sters. Their interests were OBJ
viously divergent in many things,
but united in this-an appreciation
of good music.
Some Wait for Hour.
Members of the High School Cadet
Corps-15 of them-ushered the
audience in, then found seats for
themselves. Some people, fearful
they would not find seats, filed into
the auditorium at 7:45 pm, an
hour and Is minutes before the
scheduled start of the concert.
They we're well rewarded for their
wait when the melodious notes OF
the overture and procession from
Mozart's Marriage of Figaro" rose
from under the baton Of DR.. Hans
Kinder.
In music appreciation, the audi
ence ranged from Frank c. Daniel,
principal of Mckinley, whose father,
Joseph H. Daniel, was the first
musical instructor in Washington
public schools, to little miss, about
8 years old, named Geraldine.
Principal Daniel, at work in his
office, caught the concert over the
public address system there. He
thought it was excellent and COM
mented on the beauty of music and
how an appreciation for it could be
acquired if one only took the
trouble.
Geraldine Likes the Bee.
Geraldine, whose mother and
father did not want their names In
the paper, liked the noise OF the
humble bee-a reference to the or
chestra's rendition of Rimsky-Kor-
sakov's Flight Of the Bundle Bee. +"
ut buzzed," she said.
High light of the musical hour
was the playing of Beethoven's
symphony No. in G Minor" Ap-
plause of the audience was pro-
longed and loud at the conclusion
of the piece, the first four notes OF
which-three short and one long
spell in Morse code the v for Vic
tory that heartened the Allies In
World War II.

McKelway, editor of The Star, ex'
planned to the audience that "the
little group of citizens representing
the National Symphony Orchestrs
had one idea, and one idea only
when they formed the orchestra 1t
years ago."
"It was a peculiarly unself1sf
idea," he said, expressed in the
thought of adding a very necessary
institution in washington to ths
list of others which supply the cul'
tural needs of our community.
"This was need which must b'
supplied without profit to any groul
or to any individual. It's benefits
new access to the worlds litera
ture of music-must be shared b.
all of our people"
WMAL Audience Listens.
And all of them had an oppor
tunity to share it last night. Fo
the concert was not restricted tt
one neighborhood, but through Sta
ton WMAL was broadcast to al
who tuned in.
Grainger's Londonderry Air
and Schubert's "Marche Militaire'
completed the program. The audi
ence applauded long and loud fol
more-even a few shrill whistles
were heard-before they gave VI
when DR.. Kinder stepped to the
podium with his overcoat on.
The audience, most of whom livee
within walking distance, stepped
out into a driving rain. It had beer
raining, but not so hard, when they
came. No protests were heard ovel
the weather-additional evidence o.
an evening well spent.
