the orchestral organization adopt
ed the name st. Louis Symphony
Society, which it still bears.
The newly appointed conductor
was Mar Zach, principal violist
OF the Boston Symphony and con-
ductor of the famed Boston "Pops"
from 1887 to 1897. A good disci-
plinarian and sound musician,
Zach had both a scholarly grasp
of the standard repertory and
modern works.
BY 1910, three years after Zach's
appointment, the orchestra was
placed on permanent basis. Play
ers were engaged for a regular
season of 20 weeks. The season
included so or more concerts and
daily rehearsals. More important,
the orchestra personnel was stead
lily increased.
Zach's death, in February 1921,
found the orchestra in midseason.
Among the guest leaders who fin
ished the season was the noted
pianist Rudolph CAM, who was
engaged as permanent conductor
at the start of the 1922 season.
He held the post until the spring
of 1927, when he resigned.
Like Zach, CAM continued to de-
velop the trend toward modern
works. The new conductor also
increased the orchestra's size and
took it on tour through the mid
west and southwest, where his pop
ularity as concert pianist was
already firmly established.
After GAM resigned there fol-
lowed a period of four years dur
ing which the orchestra was led
by series of guest conductors
E. Fernandez Arbos, the famous
Spanish leader; Bernardino Moli-
mari, one of the leading Italian
maestros; Emil Oberhoffer, who
had been permanent leader of the
Minneapolis Symphony; Eugene
Goossens, youthful Englishman
who later carved a highly success
full career in this country; George
Sell, the noted leader whose
American debut occurred with the
St. Louis orchestra; Willem Van
Hoogstraten, and a youthful
Frenchman of Russian ancestry,
Vladimir Golschmann.
Golschmann was named perma-
nent conductor in the spring of
1881, upon the recommendation of
Walter Damrosch and Serge Kous-
sevitzky. Golschmann had been
invited by Damrosch to conduct
the New York Symphony Orches-
ira in 1925, shortly after the
younger mans arrival in this coun-

Eagle Eye...
CONTINUED From Page One)

Luther Manship.
High who styles himself the
greatest living American who
has served a sentence in the At
lanta Federal Prison, and who was
once committed to the state In
sane Asylum at Whitfield, was
arrested twice last August by City
Police for passing out copies of
his leaflet the Eagle Eye"
The Eagle Eye has been a strong
advocate of immediate emigration.
In arresting High the city claim
the Eagle Eye" is handful
which High was distributing with
out a permit in violation of city
ordinance.
The case was before Judge Man.
ship on appeal from fines of 500
and $50 imposed by Judge George
R. Noble in City Court.
Judge Manship in his five page
decision called the Eagle Eye
and obnoxious and insulting publ
cation. But declared this was not
an adequate reason to violate, the
defendants rights under the con-
stitution.
The city ordinance states: . .
That for the protection of public
liability and for the protection of
the public in general it shall be
unlawful (to) distribute
any handbills, poster, dodgers, pa
per cups, or like objects in public
places :.
Judge Manship said High has
been publishing his publication for
some time land it was not until it
became obnoxious that it was con-
ceived this ordinance could be en-
voked against him"
He continued: 81 do not know
how this ordinance has been ad-
ministered. 1t is a little hard for
me to understand how the hand
bills, posters (etc.) would be less
inimical to public health or social
welfare when distributed with a
permit
"The city contends the publ
cation put out by the defendant
is not a newspaper but handful
and while the city contends that
the ordinance was not intended to
infringe upon the freedom Of the
press, yet the city seeks by simply
calling the publication handful
to be able to fine and imprison
the defendent.
There seems to be great diff
ference in the exercise of the po-
lice power in dealing with purely
commercial advertising and in
handling articles for gain and the
exercise of that power when 1t
comes to the discussion and publ
cation of pamphlets and matters of
information and opinion on public
questions or public affairs"
Judge Manship stated further
that not matter how great the
provocation governmental agen-
cies cannot indulge in indignation
and courts are bound to uphold the
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1955-01-01

New Purchase
System Voted

The Montgomery County
Council. with unusual haste,
yesterday adopted a l3-page or
Idinance redefining Charter pro-
visions for centralized purchas-
ling and establishing a new pur-
chasing system for the county.
The highly-touted ordinance,
prepared by the county attor-
|ney's Office and a four man in
vestigating team that blasted
present procedures, got a pub
'lic hearing yesterday.
No one showed up except the
council and its employees.
Ninety minutes later the
lengthy document was adopted
after minor amendments were
suggested by Finance Director
Alex n. f1aIlCOCk.
Aids Emergency Purchases
The ordinance enumerates the
purchasing functions of the
county manager. As provided in
the charter. it gives him author
ity to establish purchasing regu-
lationS.
The ordinance, although SEEM
ing rigid by reason Of its pre-
else listing of functions, per-
mits the county manager to
authorize any agency to make
purchases independently Of the
centralized Office.
The ordinance would permit
emergency purchases" outside
the rules and regulations to be
established when a breakdown
in machinery or services occurs.
The new law continues the
practice of seeking competitive
bids on items under $500 and
sealed bids by advertisements on
items over this amount. Items
under $25 could be sought by
telephone bidding.
It also provides for premium
bered order books to be issued
to authorized persons for secur-
ing over-the-counter delivery
of items and repairs costing less
than $40.
The new law, which will be-
come effective September l, also
requires the head of an agency
to pay personally for any item
purchased under procedures con-
trary to the ordinances pro-
cedures.
Survey Cost $4,000
The council paid more than
1900 to the survey team that
prepared a 52-page report criti-
cizing present procedures. It rec
commended changes and helped
to develop the new law.
Mr.. Hancock criticized the
emergency purchasing provisions
yesterday. and said it could lead
to abuse.
The finance director also OBJ
jected to a provision that will
require him to certify that a
bidder is not in arrears on OBJ
legations to the county. Such a
provision, he said. might deprive
the county of a good contract.

Helen Schlauch Infeld, who has
lived in Poland for IA years and

who once worked with the late
