Washingtonians,
Kindler Arrive
At Hill March 5
By Gene Smith
Spoken of as "one of the major
Amercan symphony orchestras," the
Washington, D. C. national symphony
orchestra will play here the night of
March 5 at 8:30 in Memorial hall, un
der the directorship of its brilliant con
ductor and founder, Hans Kindler.
RAPID CLIMB
In 1931 Washington was the only
one of the world's great capitals with
out a symphony of its own. In that
year, at the peak of the depressions,
the national symphony orchestra was
founded, although seven previous at
tempts to organize a symphony orches
tra in Washington had failed. To the
amazement of the guarantors, the or
chestra paid back 31 per cent of the
guarantees at the end of the first sea
son. This year the national symphony
orchestra began its eleventh season.
Prodigy of symphony orchestras, it has
become in the short space of ten years,
one of the half dozen major orchestras
in the country, one of the leading Victor
red seal recording organizations and
an orchestra with a successful New
York debut to its credit.
KINDLER DIRECTS
Moving spirit of this organization
is Hans Kindler. Key to his success,
aside from his ability as a conductor,
probably lies in his desire to make the

NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, directed by sparkling young musician Hans Kind

has become a student and townsmen favorite.

Committee Offers
Re-Cogged Platform
To Of f ice-Seekers
Five planks of the. Emergency Com
mittee's political platform met approv
al late Thursday night.
Committee associates identified the
12-point program as "vital and essen
tial campus problems to be issued for
consideration by the two parties."
First point, meeting unanimous ap
probation, stated that "All aid t is to
be given in the. establishment of co
operatives to enable lower-cost living
for students."
NYA GOES ON
"An attempt is to be made to keep
full aid for NYA students, and all self
help students are to be aided by keep
ing their wages up with increases in
cost of living." This is the Committee's
second suggested plank.
Hot debate greeted the third item,
and a rider clause was omitted for
reconsideration before unanimity was
attained. "There is to be a single as
sessment of student fees to be admin
istered by the student legislature."

Masaryk's appearance at Chapel Hill will follow IRC's presenta
tion of its third Victory Series link, the March 10 speech by Dr.
Don Francisco Castilla Najera, Mexican Ambassador to the United
States.
The Czechoslovak envoy signed with the IRC through continual
effort of Gibian, a native of Czecho-
Slovakia. Gibian traveled to New York
City last week to conclude arrange
ments with the Foreign Minister.
WORKED WITH BENES
Masaryk is the world-famous co
leader of the Czech-Slovaks, with Dr.
Eduard Benes, president of the government-in-exile.
His father, who died
in 1937, was Dr. Thomas Garringue
Masaryk, founder of the Czechoslo
vakian republic.
The Foreign Minister arrived Octo
ber 14 in New York from London. He
brought with the news that Reichsmar-
shal Hermann Goering was in disfav
or with Hitler after repeated argu
ment, and that Goering had ben
"blacked out." He also predicted then
that, in spite of news reports of dis
aster, the Russians would "hold in
tact." Masaryk asserted that he was
opposed to "stupid acts" of sabotage
by Czech workers in German war
plants that would lead to wholesale
murder, but urged workers to "be
slow" and stated that big days of sabo
tage effort were ahead.
HIGH CIRCLE CONFAB
Two days after he landed, Masaryk
was in Washington conferring with
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
Throughout last year Masaryk
worked with President Benes in the
Czechoslovak embassv in London. In

THESE TWO NEW ARMY AIRPLANES are typical of the types that
are in action in the Far Eastern war theatres today. In line with the na
tion's speeded production program, these and other planes are running
off the assembly lines at an ever increasing rate. The rate established by
President Roosevelt will be reached soon.
"Even if we discounted your prac
tice of' capital punishment," said Dr.
Carlos Martinez, secretary of the Fac
ulty of Law at San Marcos, "we would
still be ahead for we have a very modern
civil and criminal law program."
Inspired by the Swiss and Italian
legislation, Peru has based her court
system on the best points of those used
by the two countries.
COOLER WORK
In Peru the prisoners are allowed to
work while serving their sentence and
with the money earned must first re-'
pay the civil authorities for any dam
age, after which they may keep the
remainder for personal use after re
lease. In this way the prisoner is not
a drain upon society after' release as
he has enough money to last until the
Patronatos can find him a job.
"The Patronatos," explained Ro-
dolfo Ledgard, law student at San Mar
cos University, are "special committees
organized solely for the purpose of look
ing after the welfare of the freed men."
Members of these committees help the
men find employment. in the field in
which they were trained while in pris

Leaders Expect More
As the totals for Carolina students
Red Cross-World Student Service drive
rose to $600, Dick Railey, leading the

for students wishing to contribute $1.00
or more to Red Cross-WSS.
TOWN, FRATS LAG
Town and fraternity returns have
not yet come in, according to Ditzi
Buice, Bill Peete and Jean Hahn.
Optimism arose yesterday on news

next week from one campus organiza
tion. Drive officials also are predict
ing total receipts to hit far above the
established quota of $1,000.
An extensive distribution of circu
lars and posters has been accompanied

Cross boxes are now in key locations
throughout the campus. No effort is
being made to cover the town of Chapel
Hill, whose Red Cross drive is reaching
unexpected successes.

are now giving away Red Cross buttons
