The station was presented yes
terday by Paul Mellon of Upper
vile at ceremonies at the Middle
burg Community Center. attended
by about $50 persons.
In making his presentation
which includes the 420-acre farm
and q $125. 900 grant for it's opera
ton during the next five years
Mr.. Mellon said he was making a
partial repayment to the land of
Virginia which he has come to
love.
The acreage contributed to vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute con-
sists of two farms, ""Edgewood"
and Green HILL" l mile south OF
Middleburg in Fauquier County.
DR.. r. E. Blaser, formerly of Cor

Motion 10 Release
Bennett Meyers Filed
In District Court Here

Former Mai. Gen. Bennett E.
Myers today asked District Court
here to set aside his conviction
and release him from the District
Reformatory at Lorton. Va. where
he is serving from 20 months to
years for subornation of perjury
before q Senate subcommittee.
Attorney Russell Hardy filed the
motion. A petition to free Myers
on a writ of habeas corpus was
denied by the Federal Court of
Alexandria. Judge Albert V. Bryan
of the Alexandria court ruled that
the District Court in Washington
was the proper place to apply.
Meyers, a former Army Air Force
officer, was convicted in March,
1948, before a jury in Judge
Alexander Holtzoff's court of in
ducing Bleriot Lamarre to lie be-
fore a Senate subcommittee in
vestigating national defense about
Meyers wartime business trans
actions.
Mr.. Hardys motion was based
on the Supreme Court reversal
on June 27 of the conviction of
Harold r. Christoffel for perjury
before a congressional committee
on grounds that quorum was not
present when the perjury was COM
mitted. The lawyer declared the
circustances of the Meyers case
are similar.
Mr.. Hardy said yesterday Judge
Holtzoff had stopped the jury
from considering whether or not
the Senate subcommittee consisted
of a quorum of eligible members
at the time Of the testimony. The
court, he said, had ruled that a
quorum at the beginning Of the
hearing was sufficient to establish
its legality throughout the re-
mainder of the session.

Koussevitzky Offer to Lead SIS
National Symphony Disclosed
Conductor Abandoned
Idea on Rejection Of
Musical Center Plan
By Jones 6. Deone

Serge Koussevitzky, the Boston
Symphony Orchestra conductor,
offered last spring to take the
leadership Of the National Sym
phony Orchestra. but dropped the
idea when he failed to win over
the orchestra board to q plan for
a national music center here, it
was learned today.
The proposal. which would have
given the Washington orchestra
one of the worlds most famous
musicians. failed after six weeks
of negotiations.
During the negotiations, orches-
ira directors tried in vain to induce
DR.. Koussevitzky to take guest
conducting assignment with the
orchestra next season. The con-
ductor, who retired last May after
Is years at the head Of the
Boston Symphony, refused to lead
the orchestra on any basis unless
his plans were accepted.
These facts were disclosed by
sources on both sides today rs the
National Symphony approached
the midway point in its annual
summer season under its new
conductor. Howard Mitchell. who
already has made plans for next
season.
Discussions Begun in. January.
Announcement Of DR.. Hans
Kindler's resignation last Novem-
Der paved the way for the Kous-
sevitzky offer and first discussion
with orchestra officials took place
here January II, the day after
the Boston Symptoms annual
concert at Constitution Hall.
At this meeting and In subse-
ouent correspondence. the Boston
conductor was urged to lead the
National Symphony as guest
conductor during several concerts
next winter.
Envisioned. Great Center.
Instead, DR.. Koussevitzky sug-
gested that he be intrusted with
the task of building a large-scale
national music center here. COM
plete with a conservatory and
opera. AS part of this scheme, he
proposed to build the National
Symphony into an orchestra equal
to the top two or three in the
country.
Mrs. Olga Koussevitzky. the
conductors wife. said today in a
telephone interview in Lenox,
Mass, that DR.. Koussevitzky en-
visioned a very large. important
and great" music project. He
planned something for the Ma
tion's Capital" befltting 1.-The
stature of the Nation" she said.
The orchestra's negotiators re-
fused, however, to agree to such
plan, Mrs. Koussevitzky said. even
though DR.. Koussevitzky offered
to postpone the plan for a year.
Under the postponement, he would
Evening star., 1949-07-16

have been willing to make several
guest appearances here next sea-
son. on the understanding that
the plan would be started in 1851.
Didn't Want to BE Conductor.
The retiring Boston leader was
not looking simply for a new post
as musical director" of an or
chestra, his wife said.
You will understand that In
retiring from Boston, he would
hardly be interested in being the
regular conductor Of another
orchestra she pointed out. His
idea was to have something very
different from what is actually
now In Washington"
The proposal was turned down,
according to a National Symphony
Board member, because it was
out of reach from a
financial point of view. and be-
cause Mr.. Mitchell already had
been appointed to the permanent
leadership of the orchestra.
Salary Not an Issue.
Mrs. Koussevitzky said that the
salary of the conductor was not
an issue in the negotiations.
"Dr. Koussevitzky did not make
a point Of the salary" she said.
He would have been willing to
the budget" The Ma
tional Symphony, with an annual
budget of about 100000, oper-
ates on less than a third of that
of the Boston Symphony. Mr..
Mitchell is paid $4,000 a year.
In addition to the January IA
conference, another was held here
in about the middle of February,
according to Mrs. Koussevitzky.
But the Boston leader closed the
negotiations. which never reached
into the details of his plan, in a
final letter March 80. she said.
He didn't want to interfere
when they had committed them
selves for the present season." she
explained. adding he now has
bookings in South America. Israel
and Europe and would be unable
to appear here.
She said she was unable to say
whether he still considered the
plan as a possibility for a later
year. He is IS years old.

Edwards Insists
Has
Good Chance
Aspiront TO Virginia
Governorship Speoks
In His Home County
BY John Y. Homer

RICHMOND. July 16.-Horacs
H. Edwards campaigned vigorous
ly today to convince Virginia
voters that he has as much chance
as any one else to win the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor.
His. strategy for the final davs
Of the scrambled primary race
was made clear yesterday in an
address to old friends and neigh
bors of Isle of Wight County.
where he was born 46 years ago.
In the friendly atmosphere pro-
vided by this homecoming crowd.
Mr.. Edwards confidently declared
he is in the thick of a three-cor-
nered contest with State Senator
John S. Battle and Francis Pick
ems Miller. He did not regard
Remmie l.. Arnold as q serious
contender.
Says Thousands Want Him.
He undertook to dispel the i'm
preston that the primary issue
will be settled between Battle and
Miller, lest some supporters shift
at the last minute to Senator
Battle.
While few observers are willing
to predict the outcome of this in
volved campaign, there has been
considerable recent speculation
whether the issue eventually would
be settled between Senator Battle
and Mr.. Miller.
Such an impression was one OF
Senator Byrd's objectives last Sat-
urday when he publicly Endorsed
Senator Battle. Another purpose
of that speech was to Tag Mr..
Miller with the CIO-PAC label.
which is repugnant to many Vir-
ginians. BY emphasizing the
threat of left-wing government.
Senator Byrd appealed for more
conservative voters to join the
Battle movement.
Says Byrd Was Desperate.
Mr.. Edwards, who would be
hardest hit by any such shift.
labeled the Byrd proposal "a move
of desperation"
He renewed his appeal to farm
ers by saying that emergency
school construction should be
financed by a 2 per cent sales tax.
Elsewhere in the State, tha
campaign continued turbulent.
And there was no indication of
a letup in the crossf1re of accu-
sations until the balloting takes
place August 2.
A new high was reported In
discussion of Mr.. Arnold's claim
that influential members Of the
Organization offered to make
him successor to Senator Byrd If
he would withdraw as a candi-
date for Governor. Mr.. Arnold
made it plain he will not with
draw. although he is rated q sure
loser.
Tuck Brought Into Dispute.
Senator Byrd called the charge
fantastic" and urged Mr.. Arnold
to list the names Of the persons
who made overtures. The Peters,
burg manufacturer stuck by the
claim and brought Gov. Tuck into
the controversy.
Mr.. Arnold asserted that the
Governor called him on the phone
before he announced and asked
him not to make the race.
Il have been pressured all day
to name names of people who
tried to keep me out of the race"
Mr.. Arnold said, 80 tonight
decided to start at the top"
Gov. Tuck said:
Some months ago Mr.. Arnold
wrote and asked me to support
him for Governor. I promptly
replied in writing I could not
support him. have never sought
to influence him to run or not to
run for any public Office

BY the Associoted Press

LANSING. Mich, Jan. 29.-After
one false start the State of Michi-
gan today left the operation of horse
racing at the State Fair Grounds
