THE COLLEGIAN
u
ON THE
with Charle Goff
Genial stocky Max Relter the
man who conducts the San Antonio
Symphony Orchestra is also the
man who founded it and mokled it
with determined and loving hands
into one of the nation's lop-ranklntr
symphonies. Relter enters his
ninth and fullest season after u
summer of successful guest engage-
jj menu witn tne abu and NBU sym-
pnony orchestras a summer which
he won the recognition of Time
Magazine and the New Yorker.
ifc Relter appeared as guest conductor
of the nationally heard ABC Sym-
phony in one of its regular Sat-
urday afternoon broadcasts last
July. That concert was so out-
standing that it was followed im
mediately by an invitation to con-1
duct the oven moro famous NBC
Symphony Arturo Toscanlni'x or-
chestra. The program thut Relter
conducted was the first American
radio performance of three inter-
ludes from Richard Strauss' "In-
- termezzo".
Max Rciter was born in Trieste
in 1905 and began his musical stud
ies in his native city completing
them in Munich -to 1027. His en-1
j viable European reputation pro-
ceeded from tho way he' filled the
position of assistant conductor at
the Berlin Opera House n post
first his when he was 20 and held
for three years. Later he toured
as guest conductor both for sym-
phonic and operatic performances
in Germany France Russia Po-
land and Yugoslavia. He conduct-
ed numerous concerts with the
Philharmonic Orchestra of Munich
in that city and made an extensive
tour of his native Italy. He also
directed the Municiual Symphony
Concerts in Trieste and Mcrano.
He was permanent conductor of the
orchestras in Trieste and Milan
and in 1032 he took over the direc
tion of the celebrated symphony
concerts at the Royal Conservatory
in Milan. When at Rome in the
fall of 1038 he was forced toflee
a Europe rapidly coming under the
shadow of the swastika. Arriving
in the United States and taking the
advise of friends Relter went to
Texas. He conducted one experi-
mental concert with a makeshift
semi-professional orchestra in
Waco and a similar one in San An
tonio. Both cities immediately es-j
tablished symphony orchestras with
Reiter as permanent musical dir- (
ector and conductor. Ho still.
maintains both assignments. Un-
der Reter's guidance the San An-
tonio Symphony has grown in the
"0 words of Timo Magazine "to n
smoothly functining symphony of
seventy-eight pieces" which oper-
ates under a $300000 budget and
presents more than sixty musical
events a year. Reiter's able and
polished versatility which makes
him equally at home on a concert
podium or in an opera pit led the
Symphony to inaugurate its now
widely-know Grand Opera Festi-
val. This event annually attracts
the Metropolitan Opera's top-ranking
stars to San Antonio's huge
Municipal Auditorium to sing in
four grand opera performances.
On Saturday night January 21
Max Rcoter will lead the San An-
tonio Symphony Orchestra in tho
eighth subscription concert with
William Kapell tho exciting young
American pianist playing tho"Sc-
cond Piano Concerto" by Beethoven
and Rachmaninoff's "Rapsody on
a Theme by Paganini".
The orchestra's program will in-
clude the "Classical Symphony" of
Prokofieff; the symphonic poem
"Tho Pines of Rome" by Respighi
and the intermezzo from "I Quattro
Rusteghi" by the contemporary
Italian composer Ermano Wolf-
Ferrari. Kapell has been attract-
ing the attenion of the musical
world since ho was ten. In his late
teens Kapell won three major'musl-
cal awards including the Youth
Contest of the Philadelphia Orches-
tra with who Kapell made his de-
but. After his debut the RCA
Victor Company signed him to n
long contract. One of tho first
waxlngs was an album of the
Khatchatourian "Piano Concerto".
Kapell had been soloist with the
Boston Symphony for soven times
and from its members the orches-
tra was selected to furnish the
music for this great recording.

training hign prices agriculture
and reclamation were among the
subjects covered in President Tru
man's annual State of the Union
message lust week. .
The President appeared in person '
as is his custom and looked hale
and hearty as he reud his message'
to the joint session. For the first I
wine in nisiury mo proceeuing was
recorded by television.
The press picked the tax reform
recommendation as the featured
highlight of the message. The
President proposed that every tax-
payer regardless of income be
given a credit of $40 on his tax bill
this year and an additional $40 for
each dependent. This would
amount to $3200000000 and
would according to the proposal be
made up by un increase of corpor-
ate taxes in a similar amount.
Eight million would be removed
from the tax rolls.
But the Republicans arc in con
trol now with majorities in both
the House and Senate unci will
likely bring out a bill fashioned
after the one that was vetoed last
year. Their latest proposal would
reduce income taxes by 30 at the
top und raise the present exemp-
tion by $100. This would remove
about 0 million from the rolls in
tho lowest income group.
It seems apparent that any re-
lief from the high wartime taxes
will depend on reducing govern-
ment expenditures will not be re-
duced very much unless there is
a tax reduction. If the money
comes in pressing need is usually
found for it. Expenditures Wen
cut by Congress nearly $4 billion
this year from budget requests und
the Treasury now estimates that
there will be a $0 billion surplus on
July first. That should make it
possible to make a substantial pay-
ment on the public debt. So if gov
ernment expenses can be held down
and further reduced as should be
and if foreign aid is limited some
tax relief seems possible.
Because of the increase in liv-
ing costs the low-income group

and those with fixed incomes are
in particular need of tax relief nt
this time. At the same time it
is argued that some relief in the
upper brackets would encourage
"venture capital" to invest and pro-
vide more production and thereby
provide more income from which
taxes are drawn. The cost of re-
placement of obsolete material and
installation of new production faci-
lities following the war is consider-
able. Whatever approach is fol-
lowed it is certainly important
that industrial expansion be en-
couraged. In that way more jobs
are created and more production
the only real answer to inflation-
may result.
It is of interest to note that
according to the Department of
Commerce the distributive share
of business income going to profits
now is "currently the same as in
1020" (that is 12.0). In other
words the Department reports that
nearly 00 of business income
today is going back into the busi-
ness for replacements expansion
etc.
The degree of incentive for ven-
ture capital is a subject of much
talk these days. Looking at in-
dividual income taxes President
Truman's salary is a good example.
He gets $75000 a year und $13-
002 of that goes back to the gov-
erment in taxes. A man who
makes $100000 the federal tax
bill is $407404 according to the
Department of Internal Revenue.
And if he makes a million u year
Uncle Sam takes $830715! And
if the income is from corporate in-
vestments the corporation pays an
income tax and then the individual
stockholder pays on his dividends
from the corporate profits. So on
the same income the corporation
first pays and then the individual
investor pays on the part that is
distributed as profits.
But corporate incomes have been
high in recent years and those who
suffer the most under existing high
costs of living are low-income
groups and white collar workers
with fixed incomes. Perhaps com-
promises can result and moderate
I
tax relief and needed adjustments
can be agreed upon this year.
SAYS HITLER FLEW AWAY
From Warsaw Poland comes
the story of a former German
Luftwaffe officer who says that
Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun flow
to Denmark just before the Nazi
capital fell to the advancing Rus-
sian armies.
Nobody need worry much about
the accuracy of the report. There
will bo many others just like there
have been many similar rumors
before.
Allied investigating officers who
pushed a thorough inquiry into
Hitler's last days have established
to their satisfaction that he and
his mistress killed themselves in nn
air raid bunker before the Russians
arrived.
Until Der Fuhrcr appears again
in the flesh 4t is just as well to
forget the speculation about his
existence.
The people who approve of the
"one religion" ideal have in mind
only one religion.
Scoop-to-be-reported-in-1048: The
Soviet Union has decided that ve
toes won't run the world.

Woman's eternal problem is this:
how to dress in the prevailing :nsli-
ion without investing in a com-
pletely new wardrobe every season.
Some women succeed. They me
said to have clothes sense. Let's
by.a what thut is.
First of all such women plan
the costly items of their wardrobes
such as coats suits and dresses
around a basic color scheme. They
look well and which combine with
one another nicely. A winter dress
is bought in each of these colors
select three colors in which they
These dresses should be of good
quality rather plain and should be
the type which can be varied witli
accessories. The winter coat is
chosen in a basic color the spring
coat may be of a lighter shudc nnd
the short light-weight topper in
a color that can be worn with any
of theso dresses.
Shoes hats and bags are bought
in matching sets that will combine
nicely with any of your basic
dresses or suits.
With this basic wardrobe the
lady can go from fall to early
spring changing the combinations
to suit the occasion and the weath-
er. Now suppose there is n sum-
mer vogue of black dresses. The
woman who has planned her ward-
robe can add one or two of thetc
without disturbing tho color
scheme. The coats chosen will go
with the black dresses if good dciimc
was used in selecting them. A
white hat and bag with white
shoes gives the additional varia-
tion of a black-and-white costume.
Summer dresses in pastels will
look well with a scarlet topper.
Any bright striped or solid-color
summer dresses should be selected
with the scarlet topper taken along
to the shop to make sure that the
