More National Parks Favored
Especially Along Oceanfronts
By VERN HAUGLAND
Washineton. Jan. 30 W Secretary of the Interior Chapman
says the United States needs more national parks, especially along
ocean fronts and lakeshores.
He says the federal government also ought to speed up the
acquisition of some 550,000 acres of private lands now inside the
national parks.
Is Symphony Dealer of Death
To Musicians Who Play It?
(Editor's Note: Is Tschalkovsky's "The Pathetique'- sym
phony a dealer of death to the musicians who play it?
(European symphony conductors believe the superstition.
They point to examples such as the death Wednesday night
in Stockholm, Sweden, of a clarinetist just after he finished
playing the symphony.
(In the following dispatch a number of noted American
symphony conductors give their opinions.)
By DAVID C. WHITNEY
New York, Jan. 30 u.R Most American musicians scoff at the
idea death and tragedy always follow the playing of Tschaikov
sky's "The Pathetique" symphony.
But a few believe the superstition.
"To of my dearest friends died within two days after I first
-conducted 'Pathetique' more
than 40 years ago in New York,
Victor Kolar, now on the staff
of the Detroit Institute of Arts,
said. "It is a symphony of death
and suicide and disaster."
Kolar, who has led many of
the nation's great orchestras
during the past 45 years, said
that on another occasion he
played the selection "against my
will." Within a few days a close
friend died in a fall from a hotel
window, he said.
"Every time I conducted the
Sixth symphony, death and tra
gedy have followed," Kolar said.
"I vowed in 1934 that I would
never conduct it again."
Committee Selected
For 'Sweetheart' Ball
Monmouth The home of Mrs.
Delmer Dewey was the setting
for a "Collecto Co-ed Tea".
Members of the club acted as
hostesses to a number of women
students. The afternoon was
spent informally by visiting and
the serving of refresnments to
the guests.
Plans for the annual "Sweet
heart Ball," a formal dance spon
sored by Collecto's are now
progress. The following commit
tee chairman were chosen; Nel-
da Sitz, program; Margaret
Mills, refreshments; and Georgie
Priebe, decorations.
Two Churches
Plan to Unite
Of particular interest two Sa
lem churches St. John's Luth
eran, Rev. H. W. Gross, pastor,
and Christ Lutheran, Rev. C. R.
Schulz, minister, is the state
ment issued jointly by the Amer
ican Lutheran church and the
Lutheran church, Missouri sy
nod, that their official commit
tees on church unity had arriv
ed at a doctrinal agreement.
This agreement will be pre
sented for approval and ratifi
cation to the national conven
tions of the two church organ
izations this year.
The American Lutheran
church has a membership of
689,310, including baptized chil
dren . The Lutheran church,
Missouri synod, has 1,690,000
members. Together, the two
bodies constitute well over one
third of American Lutheranism.
The document of agreement
states that "this common con
fession of faith is the composite
work of the committee on doc
trinal unity of the Lutheran
church, Missouri synod, author
ized and empowered to prepare
such a statement by its 1947
convention, and of the commit
tee on fellowship of the Amer
ican Lutheran church, author
ized and empowered to negotiate
with the Lutheran church, Mis
souri synod, by Its 1948 convention."
Many Brave Weather
For Benefit Social
Jefferson In spite of the
snow storm a fair sized crowd
attended the pie social at the
school house, sponsored by the
Parent-Teacher association. The
proceeds, amounting to $45.50
will be used to help pay for the
gym annex, built by the organ
ization. Dan Roth ol Albany
auctioned off the pies. Num
bers were presented by Mrs.
Loren Luper, accompanied by
lier mother, Mrs. Junkin, mono
logue by Irvine Wright: and
Arthur White and his party pre
sented a vaudeville magic s'low
with Esther Bartholomew as as
sistant and soloist and Howard
Bartholomew ts music d'eotor
Refreshments were ser'-d fol
lowing the program
America imported more than
$600,000,000 worth of silk and
rubber in 1928. Because of com
petition from domestic synthet
ics, these imports are not ex
pected to exceed $200,000,000
in 1950.
At the rate of land acquisl
tion with funds now available,
says Chapman, the process will
take at least 100 years. The pri
vate lands tend to become more
expensive as time passes, and
there is the further danger that
some of their park values may
be lost if they remain in private
hands.
Chapman recently aired his
views on national park service
problems before the national
conference on state parks. In
general his policies follow those
of his predecessor, J. A. Krug
Like Krug, he stresses the point
that there shall be no encroach
ment upon the parks "unless the
welfare or the safety of the na
tion requires it."
He has gone further than Krug
in indicating that where rival
recreational and water-use needs
of an area are equal, he may be
on the side of Interior's recla
mation bureau against Interior's
park service.
"Where the construction of a
reservoir, dam or transmission
line would damage scenic, scien
tific, historical or recreational
resources of greater value to the
nation than the economic bene
fits anticipated, the greater
value should be protected, 1
Chapman says.
'However, we cannot fail to
recognize that the needs of a
rising population and an ex
panding economy are giving in
creased importance to our pro
grams for development and
utilization of the nation's limit
ed water and other natural resources."
Chapman says that all the
lands now used by federal agen
cies, states or communities for
parks an recreation are inade
quate for an increasing and in
creasingly leisured population.
"The United States as a whole
is especially lacking in beach
and coastal lands," he says.
"Opportunities to preserve ocean
and lake front lands are fast
dimishing. We need to accelerate
the effort to get the best of what
is left."
Chapman says he also is
strongly in favor of:
1. Careful appraisal of the re
creational possibilities of recla
mation projects now being built
throughout the west, and pos
sible park service administration
of a few such areas of national
importance.
2. Better planning for the na
iion's recreational needs and
facilities.
3. Early resumption of the re
creational surveys begun before
the war.

Boston symphony orchestra
musicians denied that they had
any fear of "The Pathetique."
But they recalled that the sym
phony made headlines there dur
ing the depression.
At that time Conductor Arthur
Fielder was advised by psycho
logists to play sad music to
cheer up his audiences. As a re
sult he played "The Pathetique"
as the feature of a program of
less serious music. It was the
hit of the program. "Fiedler
plays sad music to make people
happy," a newspaper headlined
the next day.
The two major recording
companies of symphony music,
Columbia and RCA Victor, said
they had recorded the symphony
several times without mishap.
Conductor Eugene Ormandy
scoffed at the superstition. "The
Philadelphia orchestra has play
ed the symphony 190 times,"
Ormandy said, "Without a
single death."
And Charles Munch, director
of the Boston orchestra, said his
group had played the symphony
210 times since 1894. He said
he would play it again on Tues
day night in Providence, R. I.
