! Mr.. Karl d, Loos, attorney e,ya for the
National Council Of Former cooperotives, testi-
fled TO thes following facts before the Senote
Finance COMMITTEE IN August 1850:
. On a basis Of $4,000 payments of coop patronage
refunds studied by, Mr. Loos 563 900 were for less
than $1.00 and 600 were between $100 and
$1,000. In other words Oh per cent of all pay
ments were for less than $1,000 -
Further, MI. Loos revealed that the recipients of
the e8.6 per cent of patronage dividends amounting
to more than $1,000 collected rs per cent of the
profits paid out by the co-ops. !.
Economically it is interesting and politically it is
highly significant that the great number OF farmers

Lisner Chosen
For Piano Series
Next Season

To celebrate the fifth anniver-
sary Of his concert bureau,
Patrick Hayes has formulated a
new plan for his piano series,
originated by him five years ago
In addition to two other series
|of concerts held in Constitution

in Lisner auditorium. which being
smaller can provide a more init
mate atmosphere for a recital OF
that nature. The recitals will
begin at 4 pm. on Sunday after
moons. given by Rudolf Serkin
the extraordinary English pianist
Solomon, heard here recently
with the Philadelphia Orchestra,
Leonard Shure and Gina Bachauer,
the only pupil of Sergei Rach-
maninof.
The innovation of this season
was the selective idea, which en-
titled the concert-goer to choose
and to make up his own series.
This has been extended to the two
major series for the next year,
the evening selective series of
seven concerts and the Sunday
selective series of five concerts.
The evening course of seven
concerts will include Strauss die
Fledermaus," sung in English, the
New York Philharmonic SYM
phony Orchestra with Dimitri
FMitropoulos conducting; Nelson
Eddy; Ana Maria and her Spanish
Ballet; the Trapp Family Singers;
Shan Kar and his Hindu Ballet;
Joseph Szigeti, violinist; Victoria
de los Angeles, the new Spanish
soprano of the Metropolitan
Opera; Artur Rubinstein and
Jussi Bjoerling.
The Sunday selective series will
consist Of five Sunday afternoons
at 4 pm. and can be made up of
|"Die Fledermaus," Heifetz, Gladys
Swarthout, Shan Kar, the First
Piano Quartet, the Singing Boys
|of Norway and FEDERICO Rey and
Pillar Gomez. in dances of Spain
and Latin America.
Mr.. Hayes was the first to intro
|duce here in the past the Orchestre
National de France with Charles
Munich conducting, the Robert
Shaw Chorale, Clifford Curzon,
pianist, and the New York Phil
harmonic with Bruno Walter, the
latter for the first time in several
years.

The broadcast Of the final pro-
gram of the National Symphony
Orchestra to, all parts of the world
on the Voice Of America, called
attention in a personal way to
this important service being ten
dered In the name of music.
Although most of the broadcasts
sre concerned with the spreading
Of necessary facts about this
country, the spirit of our people
as reflected in the music they
hear. perform and compose, is
also made known. About $4,000
recordings of transcribed programs
are sent monthly to rs countries.
During November, December,
January and February some 10.691
hours of programming time were
used.
NTae material for the broadcastS
has been assembled and sorted
since 1943 when the American
federation of Musicians granted
permission to the Voice to record
any music put on the air. The
music, unit staff is one of the
busiest in the set-up. They must
be constantly on the lookout for
the. kind of performances to Sc
lect. and have the proper knowl-
edge TO prepare the program notes
accompanying each recording.
Furthermore. they must be ready
with san answer to any question
that might come up in the 220, 900
letters sent the Voice annually
from the far corners of the world.
Each month a committee of music
experts must addition about 100
hours of material, some of which
will be discarded and others put
into the library for future use.
The sending of recorded music
Is governed by the wishes of the
people in the area to which It goes.
Unfortunately, symphonic music
rates the lowest attention. Amer
lean popular songs and dance mu-
sic are much in demand, the Voice
supplying $50 stations in Brazil
alone with the former in the
Your Hit Parade" program. and
European stations with the record
ings Of ''Dixieland jazz" An ef-
fort is made, however, to maintain
o balance between serious classical,
semiclassical and popular music.
