Jascha Heifetz trundles in two fiddles--a $25,000 Guarnarius and a spare $40,000 Stradivarius. Josef Hofmann arrives with a piano he designed with shaved keys and a trade mark in the corner instead of above the keyboard, SO it won't distract him. According to Wallace Magill, producer of the Telephone Hour and boss of these artists when they appear on the Monday night NBC show, Heifetz is the slowest during rehearsal.

Every detail gets his perfect attention. Hofmann gets through his practicing as quickly as possible and uses the spare time to tell the boys in the band rowdy jokes. Just before air time, he soaks his hands in hot water for five minutes. Oscar Levant has a nervewracking trick of propping a lighted cigarette on top of the piano as he begins to play. He finishes the last note just in time to grab the cigarette before the ashes splash on the keyboard.

Lily Pons would rather rest than practice but she gets to rehearsal good and early with a sumptuous array of jewels, chattering French friends. and her Chinese dog, Chan Lo.

Army Orders Copies of Farm Booklet BERKELEY-The Armed Service Forces has purchased for its Army Education Guide Kits, 5000 copies of the pamphlet, "Farm People and Land After the War," written by Prof. Murray R.

Benedict, agricultural economist on the Giannini Foundation on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. The booklet was purchased in 1943 by the National Planning Association. "Finding jobs for displaced industrial workers and for returning soldiers will lead to much interest in farming as an outlet for such labor," Professor Benedict states. "Since we no longer have large areas of unused good lands the number of farmers on the land has an important bearing on the size of farm units and the output per man engaged in farming." The pamphlet treats the structure of the farming industry; the kinds and sizes of farms that may be desirable, the number of people on the farms, and the conditions of ownership or tenancy of the farms. The author reviews the history and causes of the difficulties apparent in the American system of tenancy and the farm wage-labor situation.
