...announcement had instant and stormy repercussions. Some recalled the speech Herr Furtwängler made in Berlin four years ago when he referred to U. S. orchestras as "pet puppies which one keeps without inner necessity." Others pronounced him a slave to Nazidom, objected because he had been slow to protest when Jewish musicians were exiled from Germany, that the complaint he finally did register was either softened or withdrawn. Same day that he received his Philharmonic appointment Furtwängler was reinstated as director of the Prussian State Opera. A group of New Yorkers under Ira A. Hirschmann forthwith canceled...
...spite of the sharp protest of Senator Vandenberg the Senate of the United States has voted $57,610,000 on an appropriation which the House had denied. Their explanation was that the President has begun on his own authority relief projects to reclaim land, and these projects could be completed only with additional funds.

...survivors. As an officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers he served with such absent-minded gallantry that he was awarded the Military Cross, was recommended for the D. S. O. Then in 1917, because he considered that the War had degenerated into a senseless slaughter, he published a public protest, "in wilful defiance of military authority." Because he was a war-hero he was not court-martialed but hushed away into a mental hospital. The front line had changed his oldfashioned, literary poems into the brutal realism of Counter-Attack, whose taste was too strong for many a stay...
