Fund Drive Receives
.S41,521 in Pledges

Pledges totaling $41,521 have
been received in the first week of
the National Symphony Orches-
tra's 1951-52 sustaining fund
drive.
That figure, reported at the

The luncheon speaker, Wash

it is today" Mr.. Shouse declared.
"The pay of it's musicians was
pathetically low. The quality of
many of its instruments was none
too good. The response of its
public was halting and difficult.
The number of its donors was
very small. In all of these re-
spects there has been constant
improvement. Particularly has the
musical product grown enormous
ly in merit"
Today the National Symphony
ranks high among the great or
chestras of the country" he con-
tinued. 1T is a justified source
Of pride to Washington. It is a
satisfying expression of the musi-
cal aims and aspirations of the
Nation"
Millard F. West, jr., chairman
of the drive, said the pledges re-
ceived so far have come from the
following subdivisions of the cam
paign:
Advance gifts, $3O,072; associa-
tions, 1854; business, $5,541; COL

Kin Of Admiral Dewe,
To Share Estate as
Jury InvaIidafes Will

A will contest between two
grard-nephews of Admiral George
Dewey, the hero of Manila Bay,
was resolved yesterday by a Dis
trict Court jury, which invalidated
the will of their father and. in
effect, ordered both to share-and-
share-alike in his estate.
Capt. Theodore Macrae Dewey.
U. S. N. r., SIS, raised the issue
when he learned his father, Comdr.
Theodore Gibbs Dewey. U. S. N,
retired, had cut him off with a 81
bequest and left the bulk of his
small estate to the other son, Ed
ward B Dewey; SO, a one-time
Navy ensign. Comdr. Dewey,
nephew of Admiral Dewey, died
last March 18 at the age of 81.
The commanders accumulated
holdings came to less than $10.-
600. In cutting off his son, Theo-
dore, Comdr. Dewey accused him
of 'unfilial conduct" and awarded
his son Edward "all my posses
sions and my undying blessings
for his kindness and love"
Sought "Vindication."
Attorney r. Duncan Clark ar
eued that Theodore sought win
dication" in his challenge of the
will. Edward Dewey and his
wife, the former Selma O. SIN
clair, 49, long close to the family
tried to prove that Edward had
been his fathers favorite for
many years.
Both Edv ard and his wife told
of being "stalked" by the other
son, who, they said, also tried to
annoy his father by repeated tele-
phone calls and attempted visits.
Undue Influence Charged.
Theodore denied these accusa-
tions and countered that Edward
and Selma long ago obtained
the confidence of Comdr. Dewey
and unduly influenced him to dis
like and disinherit his other son.
The jury verdict found that
Edward "andfor Selma Dewey or
other persons unknown" practiced
fraud or undue influence" in the
drafting of Comdr. Dewey's will
Attorney Arthur Hilland said he
will appeal the verdict on behalf
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey. Judge
Henry A. Schweinhaut. who pre-
sided over the trial, must decide
alone whether the two sons will
share Comdr. Dewey's $4,000 life
insurance policy, which names Ed
ward as sole beneficiary.

Radio Vignette

Recently, Louis Schaeffer, fea-
ture writer on the Yiddish daily,
the Daily Forward, in New York
City, interviewed Barry Gray, the
sparkling Jewish disc-commenta-
tor.
A few days later, Barry, who
can understand Yiddish, but can't
read it, was info'ed that Schaef-
fer had done half-page feature
on him in the Yiddish sheet.
Barry headed for the news
stand where he plunked down a
nickle and purchased a copy of
the paper, but was unable to read
it. Neither could any of his
friends.
A rush call was sent out for
Irving Grossman of the popular
singing duo of Irving Grossman &
Dinah Goldberg, at the Old
Roumanian.
Irving read the story to Barry
at famous Lindy's, while Jewish
comedians Milton Berle and
Henry Youngman threw in few
heckles.
Several days later in Los
Angeles, on a Jewish radio pro-
gram, the announcer read the
story from the Yiddish news
paper.
Barry's folks, who were listen
ing to the Yiddish Hour in Los
Angeles, were more surprised and
delighted at the words than if
Time or Life-or both-had given
their son few pages.
Now Barry is anxiously waiting
to see if the story will be read
on Television-in Tel Aviv!
