|Kindler Tribute
Planned Here
BY Ormandy

The regular series OF concerts
by the Philadelphia Orchestra will
begin with a program Tuesday
night in Constitution Hall. In
memory Of the late Hans Kinder,
who was first cellist of the Phila-
delphia group for many years and
a close friend of Eugene Ormandy,
the conductor will play, as in
troductory number, the "Allegret-
to" from Beethoven's Symphony
No. T."
This year marks the 50th ami
versary of the organization Of the
Philadelphia Orchestra. This year,
also, Arnold Schoenberg celebrated
his 18th birthday on September
10. In honor of the renowned COM
poser. Mr.. Ormandy has pro-
grammed his "Verklaerte Nacht,
written so years ago before
Schoenberg began using the
twelve tone scale. Ormandy's tran
scription of Bach's "Toccata and
Fugue in D minor and Brahms
symphony No. 2" will conclude
the program.
The orchestra returned recently
from highly successful tour in
the British Isles where packed
houses were the rule and extra
concerts had to be arranged at
the last minute. Mr.. Ormandy
remained in Europe for a vaca-
ton in Switzerland. Just before
leaving for the United States he
was asked to conduct the Stock
holm Symphony in two per-
formances, and, the night before
his return, the Copenhagen Phil
harmonic.
The Copenhagen invitation
came from the Philharmonic
conductor who heard the second
program in Stockholm. AS time
was short, Mr.. Ormandy ques-
toned the possibility of printing
and selling tickets in the few
days before the date. The Phil
harmonic conductor assured him
the tickets would be ready on
Sunday, placed on sale by 8 o'clock
Monday morning and all sold by
10 o'clock. Although the devalua-
ton announcement came that
Monday, causing a near panic,
the $500 seats in the hall were
sold by night and the concert
given few hours later. Leaving
by plane after the concert, Or
mandy took with him 10 dozen
roses presented by the musicians.
The conductors contract with the
Philadelphia Orchestra was ex-
tended this summer to continue
until 1854.

Farm Income Slump
Critical, Brannan Say.
BY the Associoied Press

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan said today farmers income
has declined about as far as can
be permitted without serious con-
sequences for farmers and the gen.
eral public.
Beginls ing a new drive for con-
gressional approval of the admin
istration's new farm plan. Mr..
Brannan told a Senate agriculture
subcommittee:
This legislation is based on the
belief that farm incomes have al
ready declined about as far, in re-
lation to industrial and labor re-
turns, as can be permitted without
serious consequences for farmers
and for the general public"
Mr.. Brannan criticized the So
called Aiken long-range farm law,
passed by the 80th Republican
Congress, as aiming at production
controls through a starving out
process. .'--', >, So
Inc AIKEN law would provide a
generally lower level of price sup
ports than would a plan devised by
Mr.. Brannan and laid before Con-
gress in April.
His new program aims at con-
tinuing the farm programs de-
veloped during the war through
incentives and other methods
to encourage production of those
commodities which were most
needed"

Teachers College Use
To Ease Crowding Hit

Transfer of Wilson Teachers
College to the Central High School
building to make way for housing
colored high school students in the
Wilson building is regarded by
Local 81 of the American Fedora
ton of Teachers as a wholly in
appropriate solution" to the prob
lem of overcrowding in colored
schools.
Paul Cooke, president Of the
local, made public today letter
to the Board of Education in which
the local reaffrmed it's request for
transfer of either Central or
Roosevelt High School to colored
students.
Several plans are now before
the Buildings, Grounds and
Equipment Committee Of the
Board of Education to relieve
overcrowding which is particularly
acute at Cardozo High School.
The local commended School
Superintendent Hobart M. Corn
ing for his study of the emergency
problem but said his proposal to
use Wilson Teachers College was
completely untenable and unac-
ceptable.'
The local argued that assign
ment of the Wilson Building for
CardoZo students would make it
necessary to keep half the pupils
in CardoZo, which survey experts
say should be Abandoned Car
dozo pupils assigned to Wilson,
the local contended, would be
housed in an inadequate building
constructed to house 800 students.
The teachers union said it could
understand the feelings of Cen
trail alumni who have opposed
transfer of the school to colored
pupils but added that these argu-
ments for sentiment and tradi-
ton must give away in view of a
100 per cent overcroWded building,
Negro children failing in class and
examination, ineffective and poor
ly equipped buildings. street and

.Lend-Lease Interest
Cut by Russians Again
BY the Associated Press

State Department officials dis
closed today that Russia, without
explanation. shaved about two
thirds from it's latest lend-least
interest payment to the United
/ States.
Moscow met a July l deadline for
the payment. but sent check for
only $1,481,715. The State De-
partment figured more than $5,-
100000 was due.
officials speculated the arbitrary
cut was made because the United
States has held up postwar ship
ments of machinery and other
exports originally ordered by
Russia under an agreement of
October Is. 1945.
This explanation was given last
year and in 1947 when Moscow
similarly trimmed its interest pay
ment, although to a lesser extent
than this year.
Under the l945 agreement. RuS-
sia undertook to pay 2.38 per cent
interest beginning in mid-1947 on
unpaid balances for the postwar
shipments. In 1947. $4,170,000
was paid and last year $3,341.446
Records indicate that postwar
lend lease shipments valued at
about $3.50 100000 have been made
to Russia. officials estimated this
was about "a per cent of what
Moscow ordered. After Congress
directed in 1947 that the postwar
lend-lease be halted, Russia COM
planned that some machinery al
ready delivered lacked essential
parts.
