“HELLO, NEIGHBOR." \ The greeting, as cheerful and warm as possible after five minutes of door-pounding, was directed at a friend who had been away most of the summer, “How was the vacation?” “Is the doorbell broke?” “What doorbell?” Fabien Sevitzky, director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, exploded into a dither. Felix, his wire-haired terrier, was in a dither. Dr. Sevitzky found the bell which escaped my eagle eyes. Felix chased his stubby tail. Mrs, Sevitzky appeared after repeated ringings. I was in a dither.

Why Don’t You Knock the Door Down?

“COME IN,” finally said the conductor, bushy brows “So nice of you to visit us. Now I make a joke. Why don't you knock the door down when the bell is hard to find?” In about 10 minutes peace reigned in the apartment. The maestro had been working in his study on the music for the coming season, plans for the tour and other details, “This is the first real chance I have had since we got back, Mrs. Sevitzky and I, to do some real work. Excuse, please, my appearance.” It was refreshing to see Dr. Sevitzky bundied ap in a loose dressing gown, bedroom slippers, two day's growth of beard and hair more than slightly mussed up. “How was the trip to California?” “As beautiful and wonderful as it is to get back home again,” he answered. “Not that I didn’t work in California.” ” Quickly I found out that Mrs. Sevitzky was

a wonderful backseat driver and most of the time Dr, Sevitzky was very patient, And when she was driving the maestro said he was an “angel.” “Is that true, Mrs. Sevitzky?" “I have no comment,” she said, la OK. _ Glowing accounts followed the beautiful sights out West. Before he had a chance to recuperate from the long drive, Dr. Sevitzky said he went into rehearsals with the San Francisto Symphony Orchestra, Two concerts for Standard Oil of California were conducted on the 16th and 23d of July. Los Angeles was the next stop. According to him, “nothing unusual happened” there. He -sounded that way until he spoke of a musical workout with the great Lauritz Melchior, If a person were to judge from Dr. Sevitzky's eyes, facial éxpressions and hand motions, working with the singer was unusual. : They came to a somewhat permanent stop 12 miles north of San Diego in La Jolla. For a neighbor the Sevitzkys had J. Edgar Hoover, During the six weeks that followed, Dr. Sevitzky tackled the job of reorganizing and pu new life into the San Diego Symphony which left the full concert status eight years ago. “Would you believe it that I only had time to get into that beautiful ocean twice during my entire stay there and that was for a total of 12 minutes,” said Dr. Sevitzky. “But I didn't mind

The couple spent 10 hours driving the last several hundred miles to Indianapolis. “The closer we got to home the more we, wanted to be here.” “Ready to get back to work?” “Fit as a fiddle,” answered Dr. Sevitzky. “That's another joke I'm making. I stay that way because a conductor never stops working, dreaming, planning.” ! : “You're going to have to stop to shave.” I I was making with the joke. 3 Vacationers sure can bang away on a guy's ears, can't they? * &

Booms Iron Cow

By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26—Rep. Reid ¥. Murray, Republican, of Ogdensburg, Wis,, brandished in one hand a knife borrowed from the Senate cafeteria and in the other a cheese from his home

town. With the former he chopped samples from the latter and when everybody was in a good mood masticating his snappy cheddar, he came up with a new idea; Grade “A” milk at 10 cents a quart. Make it yourself, said the gentleman from Wisconsin, with an egg beater, a bowl of water, and some of that good, nourishing powdered milk, now piling up by the millions of pounds in the dairy belt. " The ebullient Murray, one-time professor of animal husbandry at the University of Wisconsin and a long-time admirer of the cow as man’s best friend, figures that an even better idea is for dairies around the couatry to quit their own expensive operations involving cows that don’t give as much milk as they would in the lusher fields of Wisconsin. Under his program they would import ‘the powdered’ milk from his bailiwick and mix same with their local water,

Not Easily Daunted

AS A STARTER he introduced a bill allowing dairies in the District of Columbia to do just that. Only the local health authorities frowned, while the lawgivers from nearby Virginia and Maryland howled. The House Agriculture Committee did not even consider the idea, but this did not daunt Mr. Murray. He is not easily daunted. He is, in fact, the man who had more to do than any other with keeping high taxes on colored oleomargarine. I once heard him testify that Orientals these many centuries have been eating vegetable oils instead of butter. And they've got slant eyes. Did Amerjcan mothers, he cried, want their children to look like Chinese? i He is a hard man to stop. So when the House

Giftless Senator

would have no part of his iron cow idéa, he dropped across the capital to bring it up before the Senate Agriculture Subcommittee, which was worrying about the high price of milk. “Right now both political parties are out kissing the farmers on both cheeks,” he said. “They sure love 'em. But they won't let my farmers ship grade “A” milk into Washington. I want to be frank with you. milk in Wisconsin than anywhere else. Now we're sittfhg there with it. Mountains of powdered milk. So we want to use Washington as a starter. And I don’t care what those Congressmen in ‘Maryland and Virginia think about it. They were willing to sell us down the river on oleo.” The Senators had some little difficulty calming down the apostle of Wisconsin milk, but he eventually explained that his bill would allow outstate fluid “milk into the capital and also permit the dairies to stir powdered fiilk ,into water and ‘sel it by the quart.’ The retail price should be around 10 cents, he said.

Thinks Idea Will Spread

WHEN THIS got going good in Washington, he continued, the idea would spread automatically| = around the country. “And everybody would benefit.| Mr. Murray said, taking a large bite of his own|

cheese, that a housewife today could make her own milk with her own kitchen mixer. The only trouble is that the only place she can buy powdered whole milk .is in a drugstore. “And at 90 cents a pound,” he lamented. It should be about 30 cents, he said. And If it were, the farmers would appreciate it.

“Of course,” he testified, “helping a farmer is”

like making love t6 a widow.”

“How 80?” inquired Sen. Guy M. Gillette of|

Towa, functioning for the moment like the straight man in a vaudeville act. “You can't give her enough of it,” chortled the gentleman from the cow country.

a WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 — Paul’ H. Douglas, who is nearing the end of his freshman year as a Democratic Senator from Illinois, admits almost with a blush that he has nine rules of conduct for citizens and public officials. Then he is likely to change the subject and talk, again with some hesitation, about the gifts that were senit him and his wife and returned, or offered and rejected, during the first three months of his Senate service this year. No "deep freezers were included. “I'm nof going to tell you who sent them, says Sen. Douglas. “I don’t know whether they wanted favors or not, whether the things were sent out of good will or with skullduggery in mind. Didn't. bother to find out, They might have been five per centers or just misguided. Anyhow they ha¥ve been discouraged.”

Exact Nature Uncertain WHEN he says things like that you wonder

"whether it's the professor of economics, the 8en-

ator, or the Marine Corps enlisted man talking. or all three. Or the evangelist who tells river town audiences he’s against pork barrel items in river and harbor appropriations and gets a hand for it. : He figures that if the work put in by his office staff saying no to gifts for these three months of convincing people he was not susceptible, were put end to end it would add up to at least a full week's

time of one secretary—a long week at that:

Among the things Sen. Douglas recollects receiving and sending back were: A case of whisky, bonded. A set of Korean jade jewelry for his wife, pretty swell stuff. ’ A bolt of Arabian silk, very expensive no doubt. A set of first edition books about the art and architecture of Italy. The books are in storage in Chicago. Sen. Douglas learned that they came from a personal friend abroad who has no axes to grind. But he's embarrassed.

Offered but rejected were: A month's vacation in Florida, a fur coat for Mrs. Douglas, and other equally costly things he can’t recall offhand. Mrs. Douglas, when a member of the House at large from Illinois while her husband was getting

Nine Rules of Conduct

BUT ABOUT those nine rules of conduct: “Aw, they sound so darn pious,” objects Sen. Douglas; but with an owlish glance he adds that he means thém, nevertheless. So he“ digs them out. Here they are: ONE: To treat public office as a public trust to be administered for the welfare of the people and not for the power, glory or profit of the occupant. } TWO: To practice sincerity in dealings with others, and never to make contradictory promises
