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

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.

guest conductors, and the tour

The red - haired actress' ex-

a first anniversary triumph.
In the next six weeks the
orchestra will play 22 concerts

concerts will be given for U.S,

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.
