American Symphony Orchestra To Take Music Culture To Far East New York (U.R) An Ameri can symphony orchestra has left by plane on a 20,000-mile tour of the Orient the first major orchestra ever to carry Ameri can music and culture to the people of the Far East. ' Word of sell-out ticket sales already has come from Tokyo, where the "Symphony of the Air" makes its Japanese debut May 3. , But the enthusiasm of Japa nese music-lovers to hear the orchestra once conducted by the great Arturo Toscanini is no greater than the enthusiasm of the 82 musicians who packed Calm clown -relax Drink SNIDER'S Milk f yourneeA m Drink glasses . of Milk every day SniDER'S MILK their instrument for the de parture. It was one year ago that the NBC Symphony, for 17 years an epitome of fine music under Toscanini's ., baton, was pro nounced dead. Leader's Last Bow Toscanini had taken his last quick bow after one of the radio concerts that had made the NBC Symphony famous around the world. The "maestro was re tiring. Network' officials an nounced the orchestra would be disbanded. From this- dark beginning, the "Symphony of the Air" was born. At a grim meeting last June members pooled the cash they could spare $250 to see what could be done. - The next big event was an un usual concert in October in Car negie hall. The old NBC Sym phony, man . for man, took its place on the stage! But no con ductor came from the wings. When the concert was over, the critics were exuberant. . The musicians, . trained t for years under Toscanini's demand ing direction, proved they could play as brilliantly even with out their, conductor's presence. They also proved they had a de termination to keep their orches tra alive. More concertsfollowed, under guest conductors, and the tour Susan Hayward To Leave Hospital Hollywood - .(U.R) Susan Hayward's doctor gave her per mission to leave Cedars of Leba non Hospital today where she has spent three days recovering from a suicide attempt with sleeping pills. , The red - haired actress' ex- husband, Jess Barker, left for New Orleans yesterday without seeing her. He interrupted a per sonal appearance tour Tuesday to fly to her side, but Dr. Stan ley Imerman would not allow him to visit his former spouse. Susan was well enough yes terday to pose briefly for photo graphers, but no questions per mitted. The actress has made no attempt to explain the reasons behind her suicide attempt. of the Orient with State De partment underwriting comes as a first anniversary triumph. In the next six weeks the orchestra will play 22 concerts in Japan, two in South Korea, two on Okinawa, two on For mosa, two at Hong Kong and seven in Manila. At least three concerts will be given for U.S, troops. Conductors Walter Hendl of the Dallas Symphony and Thor Johnson of the Cincinnati Smy- phony will go along as guest conductors. American Declared In Russ Labor Camp Vienna, Austria (U.R) A group of Austrians returning to day from long Soviet imprison ment said at least one American was being held in the Russians' Potma slave labor camp south of Moscow. They identified him as Johnny Hopkins and said he told them he was arrested in Berlin in 1952 while serving in the U.S Army. They were not clear whe ther he was a soldier or a civi lian employed by the Army. The weary, ailing Austrians said a second American known to them only as , "dimmler" or "Duembler" was being held in a camp in central Russia. They could give only the phonetic spelling of the name and were hazy on identifications. .. The group of Austrians was made up of 13 men and one wo man. One of the men was so ill he had to be carried from the train when he arrived at Voeslau in the Soviet zone south of Vien na. ' Army Will Draft 10,000 Men in June ' . Washington ifU.R) The Army will draft 10,000 men in June, the Defense Department an nounced today. The same num ber will be drafted in May. The June call will bring to 1,908,430 the number of men drafted into the armed forces since the Korean war. The Ma rines took 81,430 and all the rest went to the Army. The May and June calls are 2,000 higher than April's. Judge Vandenfaerg Studies New Move By Life Termer Klamath Falls Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg has under advisement an answer filed by Convict Gerald T. Macomber to a state brief which contends he is being legally held in the Ore gon state penitentiary. Macomber's move is the latest in a series of legal maneuvers in which he is attempting to gain his freedom from prison, where he was sent for a life term after a shooting spree in which a po lice officer in Meaiord was wounded. In Gun Battle Later, after he escaped from prison, he was the object of a police search - through southern Oregon hills before he was re captured after a gun battle in which he was wounded. Macomber was. granted a ha beus corpus hearing about a year ago in Medford by Judge Vandenberg. He claimed he had been illegally sentenced because the grand jury did not investi gate his case, and he was denied medical attention and legal coun seL After a lengthy hearing, Vandenberg denied the appeal for a writ. Shortly after the state su preme court declared the state change of judge law unconsti tutional, Macomber . filed a peti tion with .- Judge Vandenberg asking that his earlier judgment be set aside. The state in turn filed a brief asking that it be upheld. Macomber's answer to that brief was filed this week.
