0rchestra's S395,700
Budget Sets $4,000
Salary for Mitchell

A breakdown of the National
Symphony Orchestra budget, re-
vealing for the first time the salary
of the conductor, was disclosed to-
DAY. as a prelude to the symphony S
10th annual sustaining fund drive
The budget total for the 1949-5O
winter season is $395, TOO Howard
Mitchell. conductor for next season
will receive $4,000, or 3,a per cent
of the total.
In addition. the Water Gate sum-
mer series will raise the budget total
some $4,000 to 100000, with the
conductors salary presumably rising
proportionately.
Unlike last year the fund drive,
opening next week. will seek enough
money for both the Water Gate
and winter concert series. Its goal
will be $l90,000-the amount con-
sidered necessary to bridge the gap
between the budget total and ex-
pected income from both series.
Income Estimates.
Winter income is expected to be
at least $4,000. The Water Gate
should add from $4,000 to $4,000
more. And larger audiences could
raise the total much higher. Income
predictions are based on what
symphony leaders regard as con-
servative audience estimate.
Nearly nalf of the orchestra's
expenses are the salaries of its
musicians. This item accounts fol
s194 900 of the 1896, ZOO winter total
Next largest item is $4,000 for
tour costs. These include transpor-
tation for the IS players and in
struments, meals, hotel bills, stage
hands and per diem pay for the
players. Tour concerts, however, are
played at a contract fee, and bring
a net profit, estimated next season
at $4,000.
Conductors salaries are the third
largest item. In addition to the
$4,000 allotted to Mr.. Mitchell for
next winter, several guest conductors
will receive total Of $4,000. Names
of these guest conductors are ex-
pected to be revealed later this week.
More Paid Soloists.
Soloists will receive more than
visiting conductors. For appearances
both here and in Baltimore, where
the orchestra gives nine concerts
annually, they will be paid $12,500.
Salaries for the orchestra's admin
istrative personnel comprise AZ per
cent of the budget. Included are
the manager. Office manager, book
keeper and a secretary, at salaries
totaling $4,000. A $4,000 adver-
Using and publicity item includes the
salary of a press representative. and
an $11, 200 "miscellaneous" item in
cludes a secretary and assistant for
the orchestra's Women's Committee,
along with q variety of office oper-
ating expenses.
Staining the symphony box office
at 1880 G street NV. will require
So, 500. Stage hands, including a
large group for usually profitable
ballet presentations. will take $500.
Rental of music, much of which
in the past was provided free by the

By the kssoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The
World Series will open October S
in the park of the American
League representative and will be
seen by the largest number of per-
sons in history.
These were couple of the
more important details worked out
at a meeting here yesterday Of
Commissioner A. B. Chandler and
the high brass of those teams still
clutching pennant hopes.
The date-fixing was just q
routine job. Television plans were
something else again, setting up
machinery to project the games
into every parlor within network
reach.
The commissioner announced
the Series would be televised by
all the networks - American
,Broadcasting Co.. Columbia Broad
casting System. Dumont and Ma
lOdASdGUlllS w.
Also the games may be car
ried by any independent stations
which can be fed by the inter-
connected system.
To bring the fall classic before
an even larger audience, some
theaters will reproduce the games
on their screen just as they are
televised.
Here's the World Series sched-
ule, granting a playof isn't neces-
sary in either of the close races:

Recheck Gives As
DoubIe-PIuy Mark
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. IS. The
Philadelphia Athletics have
established a new American
League double-play record of
1879.
This surpasses the former
record of 1913 for one season set
by the Boston Red Sox in 1945.
The official statistician for the
American League made the
discovery yesterday in check
ing the records. Connie Mack's
brilliant inf1eld hung up the
record in defeating the Red Sox
twice in Philadelphia last Sun
day. At that time it was fig
ured the AS had tied it.
The game-ending and record
breaking double play was
started by Ferris Fain, first
baseman. Fain was assisted all
season by the sharp fielding
of Eddie Joost, shortstop; Pete
Suder, second baseman; Mel
son Fox, utility infielder, and
Henry Majeski, third baseman.
