Plans for the organ followed the
construction of the auditorium in
1923. The auditorium was erected
after a campaign by a group of
civic-minded businessmen and wom-
en-, under the leadership of Col.
Robert N. Harper, to raise the neces-
sary 100000, They offered $50 first
mortgage bonds and one share of
stock to each contributor of $100.
The money was obtained after a sec
ond mortgage of $250000 was sold.
part of which was used to pay for
the organ.
The old building is rich in memories,
not only of the organs golden voice
but of the voices of singers like John
Charles Thomas, Paul Althouse and
Nine. Homer, who appeared there as
guest stars with the Washington
Opera Company.
One incident remembered by some
Washingtonians is the performance

of Samson and Delilah." Paul Alt
house and Nine. Homer were the stars,
but advance sales had been poor and
the orchestra refused to play unless
paid in advance Mr.. Althouse wrote
his personal check for $1,000 and the
opera went on. Before the evening
was over. an anonymous "angel' re-
funded the money.
The auditorium had a narrow escape
in 1881, when it was announced that
the Government planned to raze 1t
to provide space for Army and Navy
building projects That it was not
destroyed may have been due to a
statement attributed to the architects,
Milburn & Hester: "The building Is
so strong that it would require greater
engineering skill to dismantle it than
it did to build it."
Through the years, there have been
bids to buy the organ, but none has
been found acceptable. Removal costs
alone would be sizable, to say nothing
of the price of the instrument itself,
Evening star., 1952-05-18

which went into the organ is found
in Mr.. Moller's speech following the
awarding of the contract. Pointing
out that, by coincidence. completion
of the auditorium also would mark
the 50th anniversary of the founding
of his company, he declared Il plan
to make this my golden jubilee organ,
a monument to this important mile
stone in my business life, to incorpo-
rate into this organ all the scientific
skill and experience attained by my
self and members of our large organ
ization."
There are seven divisions of the
organ-solo, swell, great, choir. echo,
ancillary and pedal-and the whole
thing requires space larger than three
fve-room apartments. Some of the
pipes are large enough to hide man.
Built for $5O,85O in 1924, the organ
today would cost about $4,000,
according to its manufacturer.

DEHIND A barrier of high wooden

Built of wood, metal, leather and ivory

The organ was made by Hagers-

biologists have found that the
Bowery bum isn't happy because
he has ducked his responsibilities
in life. He is even more bored and
frustrated than an idle rich man,
who has at least one thing left
to fret over; he can't take his
money with him when he goes.
Most boredom seems to spring
from a feeling Of lack Of accom-
plishment. The tedious tasks, the
routine of the daily rut that wear
out the lives Of many people in

them too small a sense of import

NPA 10 Fire 80
Here as Result
Of fBudget
30-Doy Notices Will
Go Out This Month
And in August

The National Production Au-
thority will dismiss $40 employees
here as a result of sharp budget
cuts imposed by Congress, The
Star learned today.
OF this number, 70 are employed
in the Defense Production Admin
istration. which is part of NPA.
Agency officials said that 3O-day
dismissal notices will be given to
some employees later this month,
with the rest of the pink slips to
be issued next month.
1t Is planned to drop the $40
by September 26 at the latest.
Field Force Also Affected.
The reduction involves more
than 20 per cent of NPA's 4,10O
employes here. Reductions in
NPA field establishments will also
be necessary. but the number to
be involved has not yet been de-
cided.
NPA officials also limited that
it may eventually be necessary to
dismiss more than 87O employees
here. They said the drastic
budget cuts may force even
greater cuts in the months ahead.
Loses Hiring Powers.
Only yesterday the Civil Service
Commission announced that it had
withdrawn from the NPA all Job
appointing authority because of ir-
regularities in filling positions.
The authority will go to the Com
merce Department. NPA officials
said the hirings which raised the
commissions ire were in 1851,
when the agency was employing
people quickly to deal with q
mushrooming load of work.
NPA is the second Government
emergency agency to suffer sharp
personnel cuts. Last week the Of
flee of Price Sterilization an
nounced it was dropping $500 Of
its $500 employees, 700 of them
in Washington.
