The earlier decision of the Cam paign Committee and of its own Administrative Committee was that the Washington orchestra cannot continue beyond this season, unless the full $165,000 necessary to main tain the National Symphony without a deficit next season is raised in "the sustaining fund campaign which be gins February 3. S. R. Finkenstaedt, president of the board, issued a statement at the conclusion of the board’s regular monthly meeting in the Mayflower Hotel yesterday in which he pointed out that the board, after careful consideration of the budget neces sary to sustain the orchestra during the 1948-9 season, has set the mini mum amount required as $165,000. "If this minimum is not pledged, the contributions will be returned to the donors and pledges canceled,’ the statement said. While the 18th annual sustaining fund campaign is officially sched uled for February 3 through Feb ruary 20, contributions and pledges may be sent now to campaign head quarters, 1727 K estreet N.W., Wash ington 6, D. C. Murphy (Continued From First Page.) testifying in connection with, spe cification No. 7 had been contra dictory. He said, however, that in a legal sense he had proven, through Mr. Moy, the prosecution’s contention that Chief Murphy was “loud and noisy” in the restaurant. Before be ing confronted with his affidavit, Mr. Moy had insisted that the man in his establishment who resembled Chief Murphy behaved and spoke in a “normal manner.” Battalion Chief Testifies. Battalion Chief John W. Wer heim, last prosecution witness to take the stand, testified yesterday that men Of the Fire Department "feel they are without competent leadership.” The remark applied to the re action of men in his command to reports that Chief Murphy was in toxicated last February 15 at a fire at Fifteenth and L streets N.W. “The men feel they require qa leader who will be able to carry them through any hazard, any in volvement they may face,” he said. Other incidents alleged in the in dictment of the fire chief also have been discussed in the fire houses, Chief Werheim testified, and morale has suffered. The witness stated his objections to Chief Murphy’s "ro tation system" of personnel trans fers, which he characterized as “capricious." The witness was unable to cite specific instances of demoralization or inefficiency resulting froin Chief Murphy’s policies and action. Armory (Continued From First Page.) Commissioners was supported by them and Chester H. Gray, Assist ant Corporation Counsel. This bill, the committee was told, would give the Commissioners control of the Armory including all its grounds. "Stalemate” Predicted. The part of the building, however, needed for the National Guard would be exclusively under juris diction of the Guard commanding general, Mr. Gray explained. Chairman O’Hara commented that if a conflict between the Com missioners and the Guard arose over the use of the building, there would be a “stalemate.” Mr. Gray insisted the building had been paid for by District taxes and the system proposed by the Commissioners would work. Gen. Cox strongly opposed the Commissioners’ bill. He insisted the Armory had been built for the Na tional Guard and that the Com missioners’ bill would give.the city heads too much control over the militia of the District and its new home. The general supported the bill sponsored by him which would aet up a commission composed of the commanding general of the Guard, the president of the District Board of Commissioners and the heads of the Washington Board of Trade and Merchants and Manufacturers’ As sociation. This group would manage the Armory. vox Objects to BUI. Gen. Cox also objected to a bill sponsored by Mr. McGarraghy which would set up a Armory Board com posed of the president of the District Board of Commissioners, com manding general of the Guard and three District residents appointed by the board. Harry S. Wender, chairman of the District Recreation Board, suggested to the committee that this board could well be designated asjhe agent to operate non-military functions in the Armory, preferably under some such bill as that sponsored by the Commissioners. Mr. Wender said that rental monies could be adequately handled under the trust fund system already set up for handling recreation af fairs throughout thd District. George Preston Marshall, presi dent of the Washington Redskins football team, warned the commit tee that the Armory project might become one of the worst headaches in the city unless its management is well set up and well handled. He recommended a board consist ing of the president of the District Board of Commissioners, the com manding general of the National Guard, and a third man to be agreed on by the first two, or in case of a disagreement, appointed by the Chief of Staff of the Army. Vais board could hire a manager, he proposed.

Also there is need of sufficient political unity so that these states will present a solid front to any aggressor. The United Nations is not yet a strong enough reliance.” Consequently, he said, there might jfce a regional pact among the West* CHIEF MURPHY TAKES THE STAND —Fire Chief Clement Murphy shown testifying today in his own behalf against “de moralization” charges before a trial board.

The importance of such a pact “is clearly brought out by the fact that Western European unity is the feature of the Marshall idea, which has particularly aroused Soviet leaders to attack,” Mr. Dulles said. He added: “They (the Soviet leaders) are supremely confident that if Western Europe can be kept divided, the governments can, one by one, be discredited and economic conditions made so hopeless that the people will, in despair, accept a Soviet dictated peace. On the other hand, they know that a unity of upwards of 250,000,000 people in Western Eu rope, industrious and educated as they are, could not be easily re duced, even by Soviet power” Mr. Dulles said the State Depart ment’s European Recovery Program could be improved, but he hastened to add, “This is not the time to be a perfectionist.” He said the seven international conferences he had taken part in since the end of the war have convinced him that “we cannot get a peace treaty for Europe until it is known that the free na tions of Europe are going te stay free.” Mr. Dulles’ suggestions for improv ing the plan follows: "1. The basic purpose of the pro gram ought to bet set forth more clearly. "2. It should be set forth explicitly that continuing aid is contingent upon co-operation by the peoples and governments of participating countries, and that the degree of aid should, broadly speaking, be measured by the degree of co-opera tion.

Should Indicate Target*. “4. The plan should indicate some of the targets which, on the basis of the 16-nation report, the participat ing countries themselves believe to be attainable by progressive steps. These would be both production targets and also such targets as increased political, economic and, monetary unity. “5. As regards Germany, the ad ministration should supply similar production targets and assurances that • * * we shall seek to Integrate its economy into that of Western Europe to the mutual advantage of both. “6. The administrator should be under duty to follow the result* 'of aid given and to measure them in terms of target goals and he should report periodically to the President and Congress with respect to these matters. ‘‘7. The administrator should be under the direction of the President and the Secretary of State in so far as regards decisions, which pri marily involve foreign policy. He woqld, presumably, take advice and counsel from a board.

Heads Sidestep AVC Armory Request The District Commissioners have sidestepped a request by the Ameri can Veterans', Committee for use of the National Guard Armory and suggested that the veterans’ organi sation find a more "appropriate” place to hold a scheduled three day meeting on the Taft-Ellender Wagner "housing bill. This was announced yesterday after the Commissioners called a special meeting to study the request with Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, the Guard commander; Gen. Cox’s ad jutant, Lt. Col. Peyton G. Nevitt; Senate District Committee Counsel James Kirkland and Assistant Cor poration Counsel Chester Gray. Charles Stofberg, special assistant to the Commisioners, said the city heads wished to emphasize that the AVC was not turned down on the application. Their request was for warded to the Commissioners by Representative Kennedy, Democrat, of Massachusetts, through Miss Mabel Haller, clerk to the House District Committee. Miss Haller received the sugges tion from the Commissioners, Mr. Stofberg told reporters, that the Armory is not suited for such meetings because of its lack of seats and bad acoustics. The AVC, he said, wished to stage meeting in the huge Armory drill hall February 29 through March 1 to urge enact ment of the low-cost public housing measure. Since only 500 are expected to at tend the AVC meetings, Mr. Stofberg said, the Departmental Auditorium probably would be more suitable. The Armory has a legal capacity of 4325.

Smith, 24, seized yesterday in a Chicago hotel in connection with the $114,000 daylight robbery of a New Orleans bank January 9 “is no doubt identical” with a man sought in the slaying of a Philadelphia policeman. George McSwain, Chicago FBI chief whose agents captured Smith as he slept and found $17,776 in a valise under his bed, said Smith denied any connection with the Philadelphia killing. Capt. Joseph Hearns, inspector of detectives in Philadelphia, said he was "satisfied" that Smith is the man for whom he holds a murder warrant in the fatal shooting of Patrolman Cecil Ingling during a supermarket robbery January 30, 1947. Acquainted With Convicted Man. "Smith said he was acquainted with Edward Hough, who was sen tenced to death of the Philadelphia shooting,” Mr. McSwain said. “He told us he had talked to Hough and others involved in the affair on the morning prior to the robbery, but he said he did not participate. "Smith said he learned of the Ingling shooting by reading a news paper account, and left Philadel phia shortly afterward because he feared tHat because of association with Hough his parole was endan gered.” * The Chicago FBI chief said Smith admitted that he was one of five men who held up the Hibernia National Bank's Mid-City branch in New Orleans and that he received ,$22,000 as share. laximan uave Tip. Mr. McSwain said that Smith’s seizure followed information given police by a Memphis taxicab driver who had driven Smith to Chicago last Friday. The taxicab driver, Mr. McSwain said, became suspicious after the passenger he had driven here from Memphis gave him $500. Smith, nattily dressed, told FBI agents he had spent more than $4,000 in high living, including a week end at Chicago’s night spots, since the robbery. Mr. McSwain said he identified his companions in the bank robbery as Tom and George Pickets, Harry Todd, and a man known only as "Johnny.” The first three were captured shortly after the robbery. In Philadelphia Mrs. Ingling, widow of the slain policeman, was called in to look at the photograph of Smith. She identified him as the robber who fired the three shots that killed her husband, say ing: “His is the face I’ll never forget.” She and her two children watched in horror as Mr. Ingling was shot down before the supermarket as he attempted to break up the hold up. Mr. Ingling was not on duty at the time. ---^-— Payments on your home are made easy by renting a room. Renting a room is made easy by advertising in The Star. Call National 5000.

Trial of the case began yesterday before a Jury, with visiting Judge T. Blake Kennedy of Wyoming pre siding. Leyde failed to collect any money, it was said.
