UNDER MINING THE ALPS
AP NEwsFEATuREs

GENEVA - The stage is set
for one of historys greatest en-
gineering feats-a road tunnel
through the 15,700-foot Alpine
peak of Mont Blanc.
Only final French Government
approval of a contribution total
ing S4,700,000, one quarter of the
total estimated cost, is needed for
the project to become a reality.
All the technical and admin
strative plans are ready for work
to begin Immediately from both
sides of the mountain. The two
points of departure, one near
Chamonix, France, and the other
near Courmayeur, Italy, are sep
arated by nearly seven and one
half miles of solid rock.
The Mont Blanc tunnel, when
completed, would be four times
longer than any existing vehi-
cular tunnel in the world.
The italian Government has Civ
en- its full approval to the pro-
ject but the French Government
after approving it in principle on
several occasions, continues to
hesitate because of the cost The
Governments hesitation is en-
couraged by sectional interests in
France.

Tucson Visitor Responsible For
Success of Kansas Symphony

Mike Katz is a familiar name
in Kansas City. 1t stands for
more than ownership of drug
store chain with his brother,
Isaac) extending thru Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa. 1t is
also associated with the highest
civic endeavor. He is vacation
ing at Ell Dorado with his wife.
Years ago Mike Katz was ap-
preached to help with a deficit
of the Kansas Symphony. He re-
piled quite honestly-then, that
he was not interested in music.
1t lead to some checking on the
orchestra, attendance at some con-
certs with the result that he is
today one of their staunchest
boosters. Each year he contrib
uted $4,000 to the orchestra plus
another $4,000 for soloists in re-
turn for which two public con-
certs are held in an auditorium
having a $4,000 capacity, with
admission free.
Mr.. Katz says, People came
to the concerts who never before
heard symphony music. These
concerts were an educational eX-
perience. AS result the orchestra
is doing very well today"
On another front, a plan has
been worked out whereby those
unable to pay, can receive free
medicines from the Katz chain.
Nor does he have a "monop-
oly'' on civic contributions. Mrs.
Katz has full-time volunteer job
supervising the Menorah Hospi-
tai gift shop, which nets the hos
pital $4,000. year. Mr.. KatZ has
tens to add that she succeeds well
in buying her stock wholesale

firm.
He's deeply interested in know

Blood quota has nearly doubled
