Symphony in Tel Aviv

on Oct. 29

NEW YORK (WNS)—An or-
ganized city-wide boycott against
the Philharmonic Symphony So-
ciety of New York has been be-
gun here by its subscribers and
union musicians as a protest
against the naming of Wilhelm
Furtwaengler, German conductor,
as the society's general musical
director for the 1936-37 season.
Under the impetus of a letter by
Ira A. Hirschmann, vice-president
of Saks Fifth Ave., chairman of
the board of the University in
Exile and head of the orchestra
division of Mayor LaGuardia's
Municipal Art Committee, to Mrs.
Richard Whitney, a leader in the
society's subscription drive, more
than a score of subscribers have
cancelled their subscriptions. Dr.
Stephen S. Wise also protested.
Members of the Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra threatened a
strike unless Furtwaengler's ap-
pointment was rescinded.
Mr. Hirschmann declared that
the society's action was "a slap
in the face to the kind of free
government represented by ser-
ious-thinking Americans" because
Furtwaengler has accepted the
Nazi philosophy. Recalling that
in April, 1933, Furtwaengler had
protested against Nazi persecu-
tion of musicians on grounds of
race and politics only to "accept
the dictates of philosophy of the
Nazi government" and "work as
one of its officials" when his pro-
test was rejected, Mr. Hirschmann
said it was "unthinkable" that
"an official of the Nazi govern-
ment" should be appointed to the
directorship of the major niusi-
cal organization of America.
A Rehabilitated Nisei
"It must be remembered," said
Mr. Hirschmann, "that Furtwaen-
gler, among the leading musicans
then ?tying In Germany, chose not
to stand by his colleagues who im-
mediately left or were asked to
leave Germany, but chose to ac-
cept a position of leadership in
the Nazi government. Contrast
this decision with that of another
musician, Arturo Toscanini, until
a week ago the director general
of the Philharmonic, who refused
unalterably to participate in the
Bayreuth festival as a protest
against the treatment of his fel-
low artists and humans. The sub-
scribers of the Philharmonic So-
ciety have shown by their attitude
toward Toscanini their approval of
