Mitchell said, $4,000 people
were packed like sardineS into
an amphitheater. The public
lined the road and threw flow
ers at us-where six weeks be-
fore, they had stoned the
American Embassy"
After that concert ended, the
conductor heard this story from
an American diplomat who had
been sitting in the fifth row:
Nearby sat a distinguished
old Indian, his family seated
solemnly in the row adjoining
his chair. At the end of the
first movement of Tschiakov-
sky's Fifth Symphony-the first
work on the program-the In
dian leaned forward and an
nounced loudly to his family:
II want you all to hear this.
In all my life, I have never
heard anything so beautiful"
That, DR.. Mitchell said, was
"the most touching thing any,
body could say about a con-
cert"
The tour, in which lot or
chestra personnel took part,
was sponsored by the Presi-
dents Special International
Program for Cultural Presenta-
lions. The National Symphony
is scheduled to open its Wash
ington concert season in Octo-
Der.

Plans BuiIdinq
Asks Zoning OK
For L Street Site

The Family and Child Serv-
ices of Washington today an
nounced tentative plans for
construction of a new Office
building at 929 L street NV.
The non-prof1t private well
fare agency, which has its
central Offices in a converted
residence of 1922 Eleventh
street NV. does not have the
funds for a new building yet.
John Theban, executive di-
rector, said ar architect is now
preparing plans for a new
building, but that size and
cost have not been determined.
The agency today was sched-
uled to ask the District Board
of Zoning Adjustment for per-
mission to put up a building
at the L street site. An excep-
ton to the coming rules is
needed on plans for parking
spaces away from the building
lot.
At today's hearing on As
coming appeals, Washington
Cathedral asked the board for
permission to add three stories
to 6-year-old two-Story Lucas
Wing of st. Adams School for
Boys.
Among the appeals to be
heard was a request for per-
mission to convert the Old
Evening Star Building at
Eleventh street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV. into a $780,
room hotel.

The annual Perseid me-
teor shower will streak the
heavens tonight for sky
gazers, the Naval ObServa-
tory has announced.
If viewed from a good
position-preferably in the

to see about so instances of
the cosmic fireworks in an

time will be after midnight.
The sky show occurs
when the earth passes
through the orbit of the
1921 comet, the Observ-
atory reported. Though the
show actually began
Monday and will last until
the week end, tonight's dis
play will be the best.

MR.. WRIGHT is a slender,
good looking young man
from Dallas. He was in pub
lie relations" before he was
elected to Congress. He gave
the writer a sheaf of his
letters, all duplicated in
green ink with a letterhead
executed by an artist-the
Congressman and the Capitol
with THE Wright Slant on
Washington, A Report from
Jim" in large lettering.
Certainly there can be no
condoning of blatant nepo-
tiSm or the renting of ones
own front porch to the
Government" he wrote in
April.
Another was about Joe
Hall, a successful young busi-
neSSman of Houston, who
was going to Okinawa to
finance, without profit to
himself, small business VEN
lures among the native
Ryukyus.
Our neglect of the Ameri-
can Indian took up an entire
letter.
There was a letter on taxes
expressing hope that divi-
dend income, which now has
a 4 per cent credit, be made
taxable on the same basis as
earned income. -
ut is hard to understand
why a person should pay less
taxes for money he receives
from investments than some
one else should pay for the
same amount earned in
wages"
A letter on imitation said:
1.-THE conviction is is increas-
ing that in a few of the
'paceSetter' induStrieS-elec-
tronicS, steel and automo-
bileS, for instance-competi-
ton has largely disappeared
and that prices are largely
administered Cor fixed to
use the old-faShioned term)
without reference to supply
and demand.
Since 1854 farm products,
clothing and cotton goods
(highly competitive indus
trieS) have declined in price,
while iron and steel sky
rocketed by 81 per cent and
motor vehicles by an alarm
ing 10 per cent"

myself Will IllIH III IIle dIlIlCl-
pated action :" Senator
Randolph, Democrat of West
Virginia. said.
Both men made their re-
marks on the Senate floor late
yesterday. The idea was sug-
gested Monday by The Evening
Star in an editorial inserted
in the Congressional Record by
Senator Randolph.
Many Join In Plan
Sixty two Senators have
joined Senator Holland. Dem
ocrat of Florida, in sponsoring
a constitutional amendment to
end the poll tax problem.
1t says voting rights of
United States citizens shall not
be denied because of failure to
pay any poll tax or to meet any
property qualification.
Senator Heating would add
language simply stating that
District residence would not
bar voting, either.
AS printed in the Record
today. the nub Of the Holland
amendment, with the District
proposal in italics, is:
The right of citizens of the
United States to vote in any
primary or other election for
electors for President, for
Vice President, or for Sena-
tor or Representative in Con-
gress, shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States
or any State by reason of
failure to pay any poll tax
or to meet any property
qualification, or by reason of
residence in the Capital OF
the United States.
Quick Consideration
Success seemed dubious
Neither Senator Heating mol
Randolph were certain of Ian.
Iguage to guarantee Washing.
tonians national suffrage, al,
though they were vigorous il
their support of the principle.
The combined amendment
will be considered by the Con-
stitutional Amendments sub.
committee within a few days
Chairman Kefauver, Democrat
of Tennessee, promised. He per.
sonally favors both the pol
tax and the District constitu-
tional amendment proposals.
Il am of the personal opin-
ion that they should be han
died separately" he said.
But he added that he would
survey subcommittee views. II
the District suggestion would
not impair the poll tax amend
ment. Senator Kefauver saw nc
objection to combining them.
Wide Backing Gained
Senator Holland, however
said he would oppose a consti-
tutional amendment promising
a local vote for President, Vice
President and congressional
representation. He was anxious
that the poll tax and District
residence bars to voting might
