LOCHNER (Associated PreBs Correspondent) BAYREUTH. Germany (AP) That the Bayreuth Wagner Festl Tal Plays have definitely weath ered the crisis caused by the de pletion of the Wagner fortune in the German post-war inflation, and that their continuance is as sured for years to come, is the confident view of Siegfried Wag ner himself a composer and di rector, but. above all. guardian of the Richard Wagner tradition. "The devotion of Wagnenans the world over has been most touching." he told the Asociated Pres. "They have made it pos sible for us to start again from the bottom and place the Bay reuth festival plays on a safe footing. "Take your own country, for Instance: the same group or ae Toted friends comes over from America season after season, and brings new enthusiasts. "The one thing what worried me was where to find the money for the' setting for Tanhaeuser, which requires costly scenery. But for this special purpose a group of Wagnertans has collected a fund from which I can defray the high expenses." Wagner looks to the eight ren ditions of Tannhaeuser and of Tristan under Arturo ToscUnini as high-spots of the 1930 season. "We are devoted friends," he said, "and long ago I wanted Tos canini as one of our conductors. But Immediately after the war K seemed nnwise to ask anybody but a German to wield the baton. "That period of national pas sions is over, fortunately and not only Is Toscanlni to come to Bay reuth, but he has invited me to conduct my father's works at the Scala In Milan this spring. I am looking forward to this with much pleasure. "As in other years. Dr. Carl Muck will conduct Parsifal at Bayreuth. That fact in itself as sures the success of the Parsifal renditions. Muck is one of the greatest exponents of the Wagner tradition." Asked whether he intended to conduct any of the performances himself, Siegfried Wagner pointed out how the general management and direction of the Festival plays keeps him more than b sy. "I shall, however, conduct the second Nlbelungen Ring series," he added. "Rehearsals," he said "begin June 15 and last until July, 20. It Is a time of intensive work, but at the same time a most enjoy able one for all concerned. The performers have nothing to dis tract them from their work, ex ppnt fhat natnrfl offers pverv con ceivable charm. We are all like one big family, and the proverb ially joiiy ariist ioik see 10 it inai no moment Is dull." Wagner is careful that the Wag ner tradition shall be entrusted to a reliable set of guardians aft er the present generation has passed away.

THE WASHINGTON BYSTANDER By K1RKE SIMPSON By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON (A P) Big, genial John Tilson, majority leader In the house, takes him self and his Job rather seriously. Even so. he seems to get a deal of fun out of the game of poli tics as he eoes along. He's a Con necticut Yankee with a sense of humor.. He can laugh as heartily at a Joke on himself as he can at the democrats vTitne, under shafts of a republican wit. But you can get under the Til son hide, it seems. And one of the ways of doing it is to wisecrack about that long standing notion that congressmen do all their long distance hauling under their postal franks. Colonel John doesn't like a good many of the things he reads in the papers which seem to re flect on the honest, integrity and ability of congressmen and sen ators generally. He rarely breaks out about it, however. Two-score years of con gressional life have not tarnished his respect for the legislative branch government or the men, by and large, who do the legis lating. Tet he has also learned that bickering with captious ed itorial critics doesn't get a mem ber anywhere in particular. The colonel did not like, for In stance, the run poked at congress over the press and news reel pic ture version of the fire in the capitol building. And when, on the heels of that, somebody elected to charge In M V Priced Low...

Actually, Tilson told the bouse, the deficit total broke down to show the cost of all congressional franking to the government to be $637,000, while "handling second-class matter free In counties, which refers to county newspa pers, was at an expense of $8,-781,530." "This (charge of abuse of iranKing privilege) has been- re peated over and over again until many believe It," thundered Col onel John. "Twenty years ago, during ear ly days of my service here, I thought that perhaps there were some abuses. Since then, from close observation, I have become convinced that so far as this city is concerned, there is absolutely nothing to it. There has never been a wolf in sight. closely for the mote la the eye of congress. PORT DRFORD GEDAR run CYPRESS PORTLAND. Ore.

Biechler, president and gener al manager. More men are being employed than ever before at this time of the year, he stated.
