PorIey Urges Road Aid
Be Tied to City Plans

provements proposed in the bic
new Federal highway program
now on Capitol Hill bear mo re-
lation at all" to local planning.
David r. Levin, of the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads, said his
agency has been making some
progress in working closer with
city plans. But he noted that the
Federal highway aid bills now
under consideration carry nc
provisions for forcing a closer
relationship.
In another talk, Raymond H
Wittcoff, chairman of the Ma
tional Citizen Committee for
Educational Television, urged
cities - including Washington -.
to renew efforts to obtain TV
channels which can be used for
civic education.
Success In st. Louis
Mr.. Wittcoff described highly
successful" programs on such q
channel in his hometown of st
Louis, which were devoted to
such controversial issues as new
highways, racial indignation and
housing.
Commercial television, he said
has done Spectacular jobs" in
presenting some major issues
But 1t can't find the time, he
said, "for systematic presenta-
ton Of the less dramatic local
Issues"
With school enrollments in
creasing beyond the supply Of
teachers, Mr.. Wittcoh predicted
that television may play a major
role in future classroom instruc-
ton as well.
The man problem in Wash
|ington, he said. is that the chan
mel reserved for educational
TV" is an ultra high frequency
channel, for which ordinary sets
require special adapters.

Veteran Preference
Court Test Sought
Murray Challenges
csc Interpretation

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
today told a House District SUBJ
committee he would welcome .
court test involving the Vet
Grams Preference Act and the
Civil Service Commissions re-
view Of police trial board action
in the disciplinary cases.
Chief Murray testified on q
pending bill which would clarity
authority Of the District Com
missioners regarding discipline
of officers and members of the
Metropolitan police force and
the Fire Department. The meas
ure was introduced by Subcom-
mittee Chairman Davis Of Geor-
gia.
The police chief said the In
depreciation of the Veterans
Preference Act is in serious con.
f1ict with trial board procedure.
He said he did not think the in
depreciation is right and believes
the courts would not uphold it.
Inconsistency Charged
The Civil Service Commission,
which has no responsibility for
public safety or good order and
discipline in the Police Depart
Iment, now has the right to re-
view police board trial actions,
Maj. Murray pointed out.
The proposed legislation, in
dorsed by District officials, would
put veterans in the same status
with non-veterans in conjunc-
ton with discipline for police
men and firemen. Accentuating
this was the case Of police Pvt.
Harold E. Jones. convicted Of
drunkenness by a trial board.
who invoked the Veterans Pref
erence Act and appealed his dis
miSSal to the Civil Service Com
mission. This was the first time
a veterans law had been cou-
piled with police trial proceed
lures.
The Civil Service Commission
overruled the dismissal Of MIR.
Jones, a veteran, contending the
procedure was faulty.
Objects to Shielding
Chief Murray told the sub
committee he is one hundred
per cent for the veteran who
behaves himself. But he pointed
out that the Veterans Preference
Act should not be used "as q
shield for bad conduct" He de-
Iclared he does not think Con.
gress intended the Veterans
Preference Act to overrule trial
poaro procedure.
A policeman has every safe.
guard for fair play under police
trial board practice, Chief Muir
ray contended. He explained an
accused is furnished written
charges and specifications. can
employ counsel. and have wit
nesses in his behalf, cross-ex-
anime hostile witnesses and
challenge any member Of the
trial board. Further, Mr.. Murray
pointed out, he can appeal his
case to the District Commits
sioners, the District Court and
even to the United States Dis
trict Court for the District Of
Columbia and the Supreme
Court. He recalled the trial
board was set up by an act Of
Congress.
Surprised at Resistance
II am finding resistance In
the most surprising places to
enforcing discipline" Chief
Murray told the subcommittee.
II only hope I have the chance
to test a case in court"
Later Chief Murray. asked by
a reporter to amplify his re
sistance" comment, he declined
to do so. He said it speaks for
Itself"
Opposition to the measure was
expressed by Lieut.. Alvin E.
Davis, representing the Fire
mems Association, and by John
Mears, representing the national
organization of the American
Legion.

This sentiment was expressed
|by the National Citizens Plan

debate Of its three-day meeting
in the Hotel Statler, which
ended yesterday.
The proposal to tie Fedora

20 YeorsWith Symphony.
7rumpeter to Use Baton

Idelphia's famed Curtis Institute.
Even with the scholarship. the
young man had to play in dance
orchestraS, bands and theaters
to pay his way through school.
Played for Stowkowski
He was so proficient at the
trumpet. however, that before he
finished at Curtis he got q job
playing six nights week in q
studio orchestra conducted by
Leopold Stokowski. And short
ly afterward, he followed his
classmate, Howard Mitchell. from
Curtis to the National Symphony
Orchestra.
Hans Kinder was the con-
ductor then. He auditioned Mr..
Geisler for the first trumpet po-
sition and offered him the job
on the spot.
Now celebrating his Goth year
with the National Symphony.
Mr.. Geisler has become lately
the orchestra's unofficial assist
ant conductor. He first took the
Ipodium in public concert last
year when DR.. Mitchell was late
getting back from a European
guest-conducting tour.
Conducted Three Concerts
He rehearses the orchestra
when DR.. Mitchell is absent;
this year has conducted three
concerts, all, of them pops" or
Ichildren's concerts. Saturday
nights concert will be devoted
to ballet music.
When he steps UP front. Mr..
Geisler leaves six trumpets be-
hind him-a B-flat, D, an E.
fat, an F and two C-trumpets
tone large bore and one small
Ibore.) The large-bore C-trumpet
is used in most scores.
It also saw unusual duty a few
weeks ago when Mr.. Geisler sat
In on a jazz concert with Eddie
Condor and his all-stars. Most
jazz trumpeters use a B-fiat. but
Mr.. Geisler wound his classical
through Sweet Sue"
and "Honeysuckle Rose" with
such effect that Mr.. Condor
warned, my boy Hackett better
watch out or this guy'n get his
job"
Applauded at Rehearsal
Mr.. Geisler cuts a very Diff
ferent figure on the podium from
DR.. Mitchell. The regular con-
ductor, dark, lean and rakish.
throws himself into the music,
with a fire that betrays his Sici-
liam heritage. Mr.. Geisler is a
pleasant, round-faced. sandy
haired man who makes his mu-
steal points very economically.
A precisionist. he stands erect
and often directs his players with
his fingertips brought together
in a point. But when he shouts
to one musician, You're way be-
hind" he means business.
At a rehearsal today, when
MIR. Geisler took over the podi-
UNI, the players clapped politely
and the trumpet section, grim
ming broadly, stamped their
feet. That was the end OF the
levity, however. The rest was
intense music-making.
Musical Style
His musical style is much like
that of DR.. Mitchell's. he says,
the fact that they went to the
same school is not so important,
he thinks, as How you feel the
music" He and DR.. Mitchell
seem to feel 1t pretty much the
same way, he says.
He hates to put his beloved
trumpet down--he spends much
of his time at home keeping his
lip "embouchure" in shape by
practicing in his accoustically
treated recreation room - but
conducting Is even more salts
flying because you feel you are
accomplishing a lot more, Great
ing the whole thing"

The Library Of Congress had
a problem until recently
searching for researchers.
In a ,000-square-foot area
of the Annex, where some is
million catalog cards having
to do with copyright claims
are filed, library officials said,
it often was more difficult to
find one of the 80 copyright
searchers than it was to tind
a claim.
It was sometimes akin to
bedlam as names we're shouted
among the files in an effort
to find one or more of the

now-searcherS are PACED in
