QllVe.
MI. Duffield contends that:
|. Washington business for 18
years has shown "an utter and ap-
palling lack of support" for the
symphony. Only 167 companies
gave last year.
2. But the reason is not disin-
terest; with isolated exceptions,
business support has never been
asked"
3. The symphony must have
business support to survive.
4, Businessmen should back the
symphony, not because they like
music, but Ito make Washington
a better place to live and do busl-
ness" 1t should be compared with
museums, art galleries, churches,
schools.
S. At least 200 new big busi-
ness" donors $50 employees and
over and many more smaller ones
should be found In the current
drive.
Permanent Program.
Mr.. Dufield's aim is perma-
nent program of planned busl-
mes solicitation" that will not only
produce this years quota OF S35,-
900 $4,000 more than the busl-
ness unit raised last year, but
grow next year and the year after
into a major source for the Or
chestra'S maintenance.
MI. Duffield already has begun
implementing his plan. aided by
a special Advisory Committee OF
the Washington Board Of Trade.
This committee has helped COM
pile a list of nearly 200 major
business prospects who did not
contribute to the symphony last
year.
Mr.. Dufield's formula is to sell
these 200 concerns through a
personal approach by committee
members. Once sold. he believes
the firms will make an annual
symphony gift part OF their
budget, as they do their gifts to
such other civic campaigns as the
Red Cross and Community Chest.
He also hopes to raise the gifts to
amounts more representative Of
both the individual firms capacity
to give and its civic stature.
Small Portion of Total.
Last year, 19 of the 1877 firms
contributing gave four-ffths OF
the entire business units quota,
and the business total was a rela-
lively small portion of the cam
paign total of $165 600. This year,
the proportion ($35 900 OF $780,
000) is not much greater. but Mr..
Duffield is convinced success in
raising 1t will lead to greater
things.
In criticizing the record OF busi-
ness support of the symphony
here, Mr.. Dufheld is quick to
admit that "the same facts apply
all over the United States He
came here only a year ago after
reorganization the business unit OF
the Indianapolis Symphony.
The original sponsors OF an
orchestra cannot continue to sup
port it." he said. Sustaining funo
drives start, more contributors are
added. But there is no plan to sell
to business the benefit OF the Or
chestra as a community project.
Chambers of commerce should
build up a symphony as they build
up an industry, according to Mr.,
Duffield. Sears-Roebuck manager
here and formed chamber presi-
dent himself.
THE Board of Trade here did
magnificently in putting over the
Water Gate concGts last sum-
mer," he added. 1T was rightly
concerned with the effect on the
city's prestige, on tourists, and on
it's own residents"

Weathers wintry elements un- leashed further damaging blows to stormy-w weary states over most of the western half of the nation to- day
 Snow, ice and sleet storms hit an area from the Texas Oklahoma Panhandle to the Pacific Coast.
 California shivered again in freezing temperatures.
 Los Angeles suburban areas were blanketed with up to six inches of snow in probably the worst snowstorm in Southern California history
 There VAS snow and ice from the states winter resort spots to the mountains. Many highways were closed because of ice and snow The fruit and vegetable crop was further endangered by the wintry blasts. The freezing weather followed last weeks killing frost which caused millions of dollars of damage to crops
 The Rocky Mountain region and parts of the midwest got another blast of sub-Zero temperatures. Cold weather in the Pacific North west threatened a severe power shortage.
 While winters icy blasts dealt severe blows to the west, Dixieland was basking in summertime tenn peratures. The mercury shot up into the 70's and 8U's yesterday from Louisiana to the Atlantic seaboard and from Florida to east Tennessee and most of Virginia.
 The freezing rain and sleet cov- cred an extensive area of the cen- tral and southern plains as far eastward as Iowa, Missouri and western Illinois.
 Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and part of northern Texas got tie worst of the storm. Many com munities were blacked out as heavy lce-crusted power lines snapped.

5ENATE,NAME5 Budget Brake pERAIROvI(H On Air Force A5 pREs slDLENT Is Resented
Calls for 48 Combat Group But 70
 Wanted for Security

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-R-- President Truman's budget brake on Air Force expansion plans stir red up a Congressional hornets nest today. Both Democrats and Republicans joined in.
 MT. Truman recommended a minimum 48-combat group Air Force in his budget message yes- terday. Rep. vinson CD-Ga), prospective chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. dis agreed.
 T am thoroughly convinced an overwhelming majority of Congress will vote for the funds to put into being 70-group Air Force over a period of three or four years" Vinson said. Tt is the minimum we must have for security"
 Senator Tydings (D-MdD, chair man of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he didn't think the Presidents recommendations 'rul- ed out" an ultimate 70-group force. but intended to study the matter very closely.
 Mir Truman took the stand that the number and size of planes is a better way to measure Air Force strength than by the number of groups.

NO INCOME
 TAX CUTS
 IN SIG H I
Low, Middle Salary Groups Will Probably Pay as
 Much as Usual
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST

WASHINGTON, Jan. H. --tR-- Low and middle salary groups ap- peared likely today to escape any general income tax boosts this year in spite of a record $4l .858, 900 900 peacetime budget.
 But there was fairly general agreement in both Democratic and Republican ranks that if President Truman's spending program for the fiscal year starting July l is to ne followed, someone is going to have to ante up more money.
 Also if his social welfare propos- als are enacted millions of workers and their employers will have larg- CT payroll taxes.
 Republicans shouted for economy, they pointed to the spectre of deficit formed by the budget the President sent to Congress yester- day.
 The Democratic heads of the Sem ate and House tax-writing commit tees, Senator George of Georgia and Representative Doughton of North Carolina, maintained a cau- tious position. They said they want ed to see how much money Con- gress votes to spend before consid- ering tax raises
 AS a result, there is strong pos sibility that the legislative budget provision of the Congressional re- organization act will be suspended This provision requires Congress to set an estimate on appropriations and income by February 15 each year. It hasn't been effective in past years and the congressional in- come-outgo goals have not been binding.
 Rep. Cannon eD-Mo.), who will head the House Appropriations Com mittee. said he VIII. ask the com- mittee to take tbs Initiative to sus- pend the budget esilihg requirement..
 Tt isn't workable" Cannon told the newsmen. You can't tell with accuracy by February IS what you are going to do in the following months
 Cannon said he would work to cut off every possible dollar from the Presidents budget, half of which MT. Truman has earmarked for the cold war with Russia.

N ew Era of Lower Prices
 Is Indicated
Post- Christmas Sales Gives Trend According 10 Re-
 tai|ers of Nation

NEW YORK, Jan. 1l--tR-- The rush of people attracted by post Christmas sales has convinced re- tailers the nation is headed for a new era of lower prices.
 They voice this conviction with certain reservations, of course and in some cases with crossed fingers. Right now some 5000 re- tailers are attending the 38th an- nual convention of the National Retail Dry Goods Association in New York, and their main objec- tive is to increase sales, lower their costs and maintain profits.
 The experts don't look for a general price break, nor for busi-, ness recession, but they do look for a general selective downward price revisions and a general in- crease in value and style where prices aren't reduced from present levels.
