RepIacementofS ofSchoo|
On 24th ST. Tract in
Arlington Approved

Construction of a replacement
for the antiquated Hume Elemen-
tary School on an eight-acre tract
at Twenty fourth and South
Nash streets was given the go
ahead" signal last night by the
Arlington School Board.
School Supt. William A. Early,
withdrawing a suggestion that the
construction be deferred "indef1-
nitely," recommended that the
structure be erected on the site
which school officials still con-
slider "too expensive"
Mr.. Early explained that he
changed his recommendation in
view of the fact that 400 parents
had signed petitions for the school
on the Twenty-fourth street site,
indicating they are solidly behind
the proposal.
The board will continue to fight
for a lower price for the largest
portion of the site, owned by Mrs
Frances Lee Sickels. A condem-
nation jury in Circuit Court last
month set a price of $3.50 pei
acre on the sc acres making uI
the Sickels property. Payment OF
this price would bring the cost
of the entire site to $88,500, about
$4,000 more than the board
planned to pay.
Attorney James Simmonds, rep
resenting the board in the con-
demnation proceedings, today
asked Circuit Court Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy to set the award
aside and the judge set a hearing
for 10 am. February 3.
The board voted last night to
purchase two lots needed for ex-
pansion of the Hoffman-Boston
School for Negroes. Price of the
two lots was set by another con-
demnation jury at 5000, also
considered excessive by school au-
thorities.
An appeal was decided against,
however, because it would be toe
expensive in relation to the small
amount OF money involved, school
officials said.

2Area Diaries
Seek Virginia
Milk PriceCut
Petition Commission
For Early Hearing on
Reduction Proposal
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Getting the jump on the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Producers
Association, two leading WASH
ington area dairies plan to ask the
Virginia Milk Commission for an
early hearing they hope will lead
to a one-cent quart cut in re-
tail milk, it was learned today.
M. H., Burchell, manager of the
Alexandria Dairy, ssid he would
petition the commission next
Wednesday and request price cut
effective as soon as possible" He
added he would like to see the
price reduced one cent qIart
by March l or as early as mid
February.
A spokesman for Chestnut
Farms Chevy Chase Dairy,
Washington distributor which also
serves nearby Virginia, said his
firm likewise expects to ask for
a hearing at an early date"
More Indicated.
The producer association in
dicate several weeks ago that it
might petition the commission for
a hearing in March on a proposed
one-cent a quart cut in wholesale
prices starting April /. The price
was reduced one cent in this area
last April l, then increased by the
same amount in late summer.
Meanwhile, without waiting for
the association to take the initia-
tive, the two dairies have decided
to ask for a reduction. While
the commission controls whole
sale and retail prices only in Vir-
ginia, Washington dairies in the
past have brought their District
prices in line with nearby rates
set by the commission.
It was pointed out that the
commission is required to hold a
hearing when it receives requests
from enough dairies serving ma
Jorlty of consumers in any given
area. In this case, the Alexandria
and Chestnut Farms dairies would
CoAlSIItute majority.
Speaks for Distributors.
The feeling of most Washing
ton distributors was summed up
by Mr.. Burchell, who declared:
1--WE want to give the public
the lowest priced milk possible,
in line with other Eastern mar
kets like Baltimore and Phila-
delphia."
The home delivered price in
this area is 2112 cents a quart,
record high. Prices in other
Eastern cities vary between 20
and 81 cents a quart.
Distributors cite an unseason-
ably warm winter and lower feed
costs as important factors in re-
ducing wholesale prices in advance
of the seasonal decline in April.
Oen distributor said he felt
producers could stand one-cent
reduction next month, and Al
second cut of one cent in the
spring.

Symphony Leader Is Just Mitch to His Musicians

There's little formality between
Howard Mitchell and members
of the National Symphony Or
chestra.
Trying to pin musician down
10 brass tacks during smoking
time" at rehearsal is rough, but
at a recent one the players warmed
to the subject of Conductor
Mitchell.
Hes one of the guys from the
orchestra . a time back" Ken
meth Pasmanick, first bassoonist
stated.
Mr.. Mitchell is just that-and a
bit more. He is the only big time
symphony conductor today to
shake a baton at the same or
chestra in which he held down a
chair. He played Is seasons as
cellist and formerly was asso-
ciate conductor.
None of Howard Mitchell's fell
low players and friends were left
at the podium when he took over
the orchestra this year.
Top Man in Bridge.
There's the case of bridge
foursome of six years standing
with running tally proving Mr..
Mitchell to be top man-as far
as scores go. Players Lloyd Gels
ler, first trumpet; Wallace Mann.
first flute, and Armand Sarro, first
trombone. play with the boss
when the orchestra is on tour.
The cards are brought out on the
train and in hotel rooms.
"Off stage, we call him Mitch
when we're not mad at him, that
is" Mr.. Sarro said. Most of the
players, of more than a couple
of seasons, address their conduc-
tor as Howard.
He's one of few conductors who
will listen to your point of view" !"
Mr.. Mann pointed out. Not
many do that"
Richard Stehl, 56, cellist, who
says he has played under prac-
tically every living great conduc-
tor and many who are dead"
speaks of the lack of a veil be-
tween Mr.. Mitchell and the or
chestra.
Mr.. Stehl, who retired from the
New York Philharmonic in 1916,
remembers we'll the case of one
of his professional friends, who
later welded the baton over him.
Our chuminess ceased" he
said.
Corrected, Not Insulted.
This is my first season with
this orchestra, but although Mr..
Mitchell bawls me out occasional
ly, I know he isn't being vim
dictive. From some conductors,
you feel insulted."
