Arizona Bus Drivers' Wildcat Strike Threat Ends Arbitration Is Promised To Iron Out Squabble On Job Conditions Disgruntled bus drivers for the Old Pueblo Transit company yesterday gave up thoughts of a wildcat strike after receiving the promise of a chance to sit down ith management and "thrash out differences." be taken away Wrote to Solons He told the veterans he would always reserve the right to judge future bills. Kenneth Tannenbaum, commander of post No. 549, revealed that he had writter letters to the 14 legislators asking them to at tend last night's meeting. "If it is impossible for you to come," Tannenbaum said he wrote in the letter, "I ask you to answer one question: are you opposed to any legislation detrimental to the 'status quo' of the present veterans tax exemption?" Rep.

David G. Watkins was the only legislator who answered the question with a "No." Rep. Nor-val W. Jasper. John II.

Haugh and Juliette Willis were undecided, while Sen. Hi Corbett, and Reps. David S. Wine and Etta Mae Hutche6on are "definitely opposed to any change in tax exemptions for veterans and widows," said Tannenbaum. Opposes Change Rep.

Schaffer last night told an audience of 100 veterans that while he is opposed to adverse veterans legislation, he is not opposed because of the vi of the VFW or any other pres sure group. One of 14 Pima eountv IppIr. lators invited by the VFW to present nis views on House Concurrent Bill No. 8, Schaffer declared "I don't crawl or rrppn when pressured by the railroads, mines or newspaper editors and I won't crawl before you." The controversial legislation would reduce all veteran exemptions to the state level only. Veterans who were residents of Arizona on or before Sept.

1, 1945, now receive a $2,000 property tax exemption if their property is assessed at less than $5,000. Chides Veterans Schaffer scolded the veterans meeting at the VFW hall for calling a meeting "which I feel was intended to scare legislators to either put themselves in favor of the veterans or be sunk politically." He argued that he does not believe only veterans should be entitled to certain benefits surh as the December land drawing on Ajo way, extra points in civil service competition and the right to buv surnlus coods. This, he said, had caused people to complain, "I am onnosed tn the thre bills now before the lecislaturi not because of this meeting, but in spite of it," Schaffer said. "I'm aealnst the legislation because I feel the big guys get too much.

A large and enthralled audience was treated to an evening of rare musical greatness as it listened to soloist Joseph Szlgeti play the Beethoven Concerto in major for Violin and Orchestra.

The Phoenix Symphony played exceptionally well and tajces second place understandably before the virtuosity of its soloist. Wagner's Opera The program opened with the delicately beautiful "Prelude" to Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin." Liszt described this composition as "a sort of magic formula which, like a mysterious initiation, prepares our soul for the sight of unaccustomed things, and a higher signification than our terrestrial life." Dr. Leslie Hodge, director of the orchestra, drew this mystical feeling from his musicians. The beginning Holy Grail theme had that thin unreal quality that must set the mood of the composition and sustain the feeling of ethereal joy, into the opera that follows. Hodge had full command of his musicians and his deft touch brought ready response from the men and women under the tin of his baton.

It was a pleasure to watch him work. There are those who have asked before and no doubt will ask again "Who is the greatest violinist of our time?" For this reporter the answer Is Joseph Szigeti. It was a joy to speak with a man who is so unassuming and humble, yet who speaks with such authority and splendid assurance through the medium of music. Greatest Violin Music The soloist chose as the work he would play the greatest music ever written for solo violin. The cadenzas are" without equal and the soloist did them full justice.

Szigeti played well, even sublimely, and was rewarded by the greatest ovation accorded any soloist musician since the writer has been in Tucson. From the time the artist raised his bow to his instrument, a hush fell over the auditorium that was not broken save for applause between movements (an honor in itself), a nusn that was almost reverent. The little gavotte he played as encore was the simple gesture tf man who is a servant of the music he loves and plays so well. After he was gone from the stage for a long moment there lingered in the auditorium a feel ing will all present. I am sure.

that true greatness in the world of music had been with us. It is certainly to be hoped that Joseph Szigeti will come back again to the Old Pueblo. The concert closed after the intermission with the playing of the Brahms Symphony No. 1 In minor. Here again the Phoenix symphony presented a masterful performance.
