Gotham Mayor Shows Talent As Conductor BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug. 15. - ('P) - The mayor is become, amid great applause, a maestro. With the wave of a wand in the music grove of Prospect park Tues- day night, Fiorello La Guardia became probably the first and only -and maybe the last - band-master mayor in the United States. Twelve thousand persons heard his' interpretation of Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," with the Edwin Franko Goldman band doing the play- ing and the cheering was terrific and prolonged. Mr. La Guardia, whose list of "M" titles now is Major-Mayor- Maestro, functioned so well, indeed, that he was recalled for bows. To the average ear, Maestro °La Guardia's reading of the Sousa score was entirely satisfying. He got the boys off practically simultaneously, and he held them in tempo with a vigorous up-and-down beat, such as Sousa himself used to employ. If any- thing, the mayor was more enthu- siastic at his chore and the musicians forgot any personal political differ- ences they may have had with the mayor, and gave wholeheartedly of their lung reserve. One spectator, presumably a Tam- many spy, quibbled over the mayor's handling of some of the passages, sneering at use of the left hand to obt.in certain pianissimo effects, but this was obviously nothing more than an attempt to drag a political herring across the mayor's musical trail. Maestro La Guardia put on, his glasses before starting, and this con- vinced the audience that he actually was reading the notes. The only ele- ment of doubt on this point developed when the mayor flung his arms sharp- ly, indicating that a violent fortissimo was to ensue immediately, and the re- sponse was only a dainty humming of flutes. $250,000 Damage Suit Is Filed Against Ickes CHICAGO, Aug. 15. - (P)-A $250,-' 000 damage suit was pending against Secretary Ickes today.

The coffin may be seen in the foregound, and behind the chancellor is the slender bronze cross marking the grave of Germany's twenty unknown soldiers killed in the World War. Back- ground of the scene is the wall of the huge memorial commemorating the war hero's victory over Russia. ,1 J CASH PAID for your USED BOOKS at WAH R UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE 316 STATE STREET UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION 1934 COU"RSE1935 ' EIGHT GREAT PLATFORM ATTRACTIONS NO INCREASE IN PRICES I * RUTH BRYAN OWEN "This Business of Diplomacy" * STUART CHASE "The Economy of Plenty" * LYMAN BEECHER STOWE "Saints, Sinners and Beechers" * CHESTER SCOTT HOWLAND "Hunting Whales in the Seven Seas" (Illustrated with Motion Pictures) * LOWELL THOMAS "Around the World and On the Air" * MAURICE HINDUS "Stalin, Hitler, Roosevelt - Who Will Win?" * BURTON HOLMES "Around the World with Burton Holmes" (Illustrated with Color Motion Pictures) * MARK SULLIVAN "Behind the Scenes in Washington" 11 I * the hut will remain open thruout the summer vacation i-fno fonl t fnir nrice - Associated Press Photo Low Season Ticket Prices: $3.OO $2.75 2.50 Eight Numbers 11 II Single Admissions 75c & 50c lv I
