Symphony Group Here Just Misses ‘Premiere’ Embarrassment.
“Good Music” by James Thrasher
Wagner's “Parsifal”” which has been called almost everything from “a stage-consecration-festival piay” by the composer to “a melancholic table d’hote” by Moritz Rosenthal, will have its annual Easter performance of comcert excerpts on tomorrow’s New York Philharmonic Symphony broadcast (2 p. m., CBSWFBM
). It would be interesting to know how many Wagner votaries passed the final test of true love by listening to the music-drama’s complete NBC broadcast yesterday. Certainly it was one of radio’s most daring and hopeful musi¢ broadcasts. “Parsifal” is at least five hours long and, sight unseen, not very exciting music to those unacquainted with the score. Tomorrow's selections will be taken from Act I, and will include the Prelude, Transformation Scene and Grail Scene. Richard Bonelli and Norman Cordon, of the Metropolitan’s ‘baritone and bass departments, will sing the parts of Amfortas and Titurel. The Scola Cantorum Chorus and St. Paul's Choristers, directed by Hugh Ross and Ralph A, Harris, respectively, also will assist John Barbirolli and the orchestra. Sir Henry Wood's transcription of a Trumpet Voluntary by Purcell, for organ, brass and percussion, will open the program, and Delius’ “Appalachia” also is scheduled. As the name suggests, this music is of American origin. Though the latter composer was
== | horn in England of German parent-
age, and lived most of his life in France, there was a youthful period spent as an orange grower in Florida. It was here, on an old plantation, that his musical gifts were given free rein, and his first intensive studies pursued with a Richmond, Va., organist as his master. “Appalachia,” Delius wrote, “is the old Indian name for North America. This composition mirrors the moods of .tropical nature in the great swamps bordering on the Mississippi River which is so intimately associated with the life of the old Negro slave population.” ” = 2 The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra office thought for a moment
miere” trouble on tomorrow’s Radio City Music Hall broadcast. Emo Rapee announced the first American broadcast of Kodaly’s “Psalmus Hungarictis,” which Fabien Sevitzky conducted here on Dec. 3 and 4. But the orchestra office took a
-| look at the record, and found that
only the portion of those programs
containing the Fourth Symphany of
Tschaikowsky had gone on the air from the Murat. So Mr. Rapee and his associate emerged with a ¢leaner slate than did Composer-com-méntator Deems Taylor, CBS and the New York Philharmonic-Sym-phony in the discussion of Mr. Taylot's “Peter Ibbetsont” Suite a month ago. Jan Peerce will do the tenor golo in tomorrow's performancé of the admirable Kodaly composition, which is based on the 55th Psalm. And of course the Music Hall Orcheéstra and Chorus will bé oh hand (11:30 a. m., NBC-WLW). 2 2 2 Artur Rodzinski, who trained 92 virtuosos into one of the country’s finest orchestras last fall, will take his season’s leave of that orchestra, the NBC Symphony, on tonight's broadcast. : The Cleveland Orchestra conductor has chosen music Ly Bach, Schrecker and those ° dissimilar Strausses, Richard and Johann, for his final program. First there will be Wertheim’s transcription of Toccata and Fugue of Bach. Then will come Richad Strauss’ pseudo-Niet-zchean tone poem, “Thus Spake Zarathustra,” wherein man’s soul flies heavenward in the piccolos instead of the E flat clarinet, as in “Till Eulenspiegel.” . : Franz Schrecker, a contemporary Viennese, will be represented by his orchestral suite based on Wilde's The Birthday of an Infanta.” John Alden Carpenter has drawn scme ballet music from the same source. Concluding the broadcast, Dr. Rodzinski has selected the Overature to Strauss’ “Die Fledermaus” and “Tales from the Vienna Woods” And don’t tune out the program before these final waltzes, for the conductor does them in an original and charming manner. . . . WIRE again will carry this broadcast, 9:15 p. m. 2 8 =a : The week-end’s other big musica show, the Detroit Symphony's “Sunday Evening Hour,” will have as guest and Jose Iturbi in his final conducting appearance of the season on these broadcasts. . - Miss Swarthout’s aria for the evening will be “Amour, viens aidet ma faiblesse” from “Samson and Delilah,” proving that the SaintSaens opera contains other concert excerpts than “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice.” There also will be songs by Chausson, Granados, Kingsford and Malotte. Schubert’s “Resamunde” Overs ture and Granados’ “El Pelele” will be the major orchestral items, [and chorus and orchestra will do e Polovetsian Dances from Boro din’s “Prince Igor.” Mr. Iturbi, by the way, will be spending some time in our vicinity next autumn. He and Hans Lange will divide the Cincinnati Syniphony’s conducting duties while Bugene Goessens, the regular conuctor, making est appearances in England. i pres : 2 8 =» Adrienne Matsenauer, daughter of the famous prima donna Marguerite, will be soloist on the CBS-

FT. WAYNE LINE SALE ASKED OF RAIL RECEIVER
Anderson Man Claims That Bus Substitution Would Impair Equities.
A request that Bowman Elder, receiver for the Indiana Railroad, secure an order for sale of the assets | on the Indianapolis-Ft. Wayne division, distribute the funds to the creditors and close the receivership has been filed in Superior Court 5 |: before Judge Herbert E. Wilson. The request was included in a petition to vacate a recent order that the line be abandoned and bus and truck service substituted. The va= cate plea was filled by Charles B. Salyer of Anderson, on behalf of Estle Lee Pate, a fort claimant there. Mr. Salyer said he had asked a hearing by the Court before the order to abandon was approved, but that the order was granted before he could be heard. The hearing on abandonment before the Indiana ‘Public Service Commission has been set for Monday. Several bus and truck operators have indicated they will oppose the petition.
Claims Equities Threatened
Mr. Salyer declared that the receiver, in asking Judge Wilson's approval for the order, failed to show that substitution of motor vehicles would give more adequate service and that the abandonment, piece by ilroad lines
threatens to impair the equities in the property and deprive the trust
alleged that the receiver failed to show that he would be able to hire his present employees or pay them reasonable wages under the substitii= tion. Four bus lines have permission to operate in parts of thé area served by the railroad, he asserts, and he asks that James Van Osdol, receiver of the Union Traction Cd. of Indiana, be made a party to the hearing.

Thousands massed in Obelisk Square yesterday afternoon and joined in the “Way of the Cross Ceremony,” pausing at each of the 14 stations from the “Agony in the Garden” to “Christ is Laid in the Sepulchre.” x Parochial ‘school children and nuns were massed on the steps of the World War Memorial to witness the procession. The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Raymond R. Noll, vicar general and rector of SS.

‘UNIFIED STATE BAR
Educational Campaign to Be Conducted in Indiana.
Thirty Indiana lawyers today
opened a campaign throughout the state to acquaint members of their profession with advantages of a “Unified Bar,” already adopted in 19 other states.
They form a committee which will
speak at future meetings in every county. The “Unified Bar” would be created either by action of the Legislature or by rule of the State Supreme Court.
Points to be stressed in the cam-
paigh are:
Improvement of the intellectual
and moral standards of the Bar; elimination from the Bar of those whose conduct has proved them disqualified etchically for the practice of law; restraining, in the interest of the public, the practice of law by unauthorized or lay agencies; improvements in the administration of justice, needed law reforms through legislation successfully tested in other states.

Open meétings are to be held every two weeks by Governor Towne send’s special committee investigate ing statutes and regulations covering governmental printing contracts and legal advertising, it was anfiounced today. 5 Committee members, who are to make a report to the 1939 Legislature, said it would take a year to

ing other States for copies of their printing contract laws and rules. A series of public hearings also is being planned. Invitations are expected to be sent to publishers, printing shop owners, printers and governmental officials. Five Classes Established State printing now is divided into five classes, and Indianapolis firms hold all the contracts. The GC ernor suggested that further classifications be established in order that small printing plants dould subniit bids. i Legal advertising rates charged against the Staté are not based on the circulation figures of the publications, the committee said. Committée members are Jack Dolan, Hartford City: Walter Crim, Salem, and Wray Fleming, Indian apolis, all publishers, and William P. Cosgrove, State Accounts Board chief examiner.
Hitler ‘Fudges’ 7 Yearson Age, Says School Pal
. NEW BRITAIN," Conn., April 16 (U. P.)—Adolf Hitler isn't exactly correct when he says he will be 49 years old soon, Fritz Grunscheder, a German employed in a local brew= ery, said today. Grunscheder says he grew up with Hitler in Brenhau, Austria, and the Fuehrer really is 56 years old. The brewer said he was sure of this because, as boys, he and Hitler oftén compared their ages. The local man said the village boys often went apple-stealing but Hitler never would go. “I can remember lots of times,” Grunscheder said, “when we would call Adolf and tell him he could come with us for some good apples to be snitched. But Adolf would never come. “His father worked for the Gove ernment and it would be bad if he got caught. Lots of things like that Adolf had to let go by. But he never was a squealer; he néver told on us.” In school, Mr. Grunscheder said, Hitler “was not very smart, but was - not dumb, either. He had to be good more than the rest of us, and that Jes him alone more than the other vs
nd we could see that Adolf ale ways was lopking out for Adolf.”

Here is an opportunity for a real economic revolution.
