DURING INTERMISSION
some Of the musicians remain
on the stage to 60 over some
tricky passage. The others go
out for a smoke, and in the
halls they talk about how this
note or that note ought to be
played.
It seems for a moment that
Jussi Jalas, here to show the
orchestra how he wants ST.
belius played tomorrow, will
add a stiff note to the infor-
mality.
He strides in with DR..
Mitchell after the intermis-
sion, Is introduced, and smiles.
His coat Is proper, his tie
neatly knotted. He tells the
musicians that Sibelius, his
father-in-law, has asked him
to express to them his ap-
preeiation for their part In
celebrating his birthday with
this all-SibeliuS concert.
And then, it's OF with the
coat and to work.
Make that q q, not an r
sharp, please"
"Give US more melody,
please"
I'VE take it through once
more. yes?"
Now the tie is unknotted
and laid aside. A half hour
later, Mr.. Jalas' sleeves are
being rolled up, and everybody
feels at home again.
DR.. Mitchell, following his
own score, sits in one Of the
boxes, pencil in hand.
He grimaces at one point.
mo, no, fiddles," he groans,

Mr.. Jalas catches the error,
too, and tapping his short
wand on the music stand,
turns to the violin section and
says, politely, that the note Is
G sharp.

Federal Aid Funds
Sought for Schools
Corning Wants
District Booking
On Request

School Supt. Hobart M. Corn.
ling will ask the Board of Educa-
ton Thursday to make a formal
request that the District be in
jcluded in the Eisenhower admin
istration's forthcoming Federal
school construction aid program.
The backing of the District
Commissioners also will be sought
for the request.
The proposal, which is expect
ed to get quick approval from
the school board, won prompt
Endorsement today from District
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler.
/ Mr.. Fowler said the District
shares in other Federal financing
programs. including some for
schools, and that it should get
equal treatment with the States"
in school construction aid.
Sees City Backing
He predicted that the Com
missioners would support the
move.
4 DR.. Corning's proposal took
its cue from the White House
Conference on Education. The
conference, as a result of efforts
by the District delegation, rec
commended including both the
; District and the territories in
Federal school building aid.
The District schools are ex-
cluded from present Federal
school construction grants.
| Officials of the Health. Educa-
Ition and Welfare Department
have been drafting new, broader
laid legislation. Secretary Marion
lB. Folsom told the closing session
lof the conference that a broad
lened program is planned, and
both President Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon also COM
United the administration to
school-building aid.
/ No Connection
The Federal Governments
; direct payment to the District
has been cited by some officials
i'm the past as the reason for the
Districts exclusion from aid
Legislation. But Mr.. Fowler said
this payment has no logical con-
nection with the school aid ques-
tion. because it is intended to
. compensate the city for the fail
|, ure of the Federal Government
to pay taxes.
! Chairman Robert v. Fleming
of the Districts White House
Conference Committee told the
, conference the District has been
sighted by the Federal Gov
eminent and deserves more help.
Deputy School" Supt. Charles
N. Zellers said it is the hope to
! send a joint delegation from the
|, school board and the Commits
| sioners to discuss the aid plea
with Federal aid program
drafters.
Seek Training Cars
! Meanwhile, Mr.. Zellers dis
closed that an amendment to the
pending 1867 school appropria-
ton request will be sought to
provide IA driver training cars
for the school system.
High schools have relied on
auto dealers to provide free cars,
but. dealers have been baking
at paying a sales tax which the
District has said it cannot
waive. Two schools currently are
without cars as a result.
Mr.. ZellerS said $40, 800 will be
asked for the IA cars.

Before they start playing,
it's almost as if the fireman's
band Of Greater Ipswich has
suddenly transported its sum-
mer outing to the stage in

Colorful sweaters, dark BUSH

and odd coats abound.
DR.. Howard Mitchell, the
conductor, provides a quiet
accent to this mixture in his
dark-blue sport shirt and gray
trousers.
Behind him on the podium
a towel hangs over a railing
more effective than the white
handkerchief of the formal
concert-for wiping hands and
brow after his exertions.
In front Of him the musi-
clans wait.
1t is DR.. Mitchell's turn first
to ca jole the orchestra
