P: Old rumors that Manhattan's beloved Carnegie Hall would be sold and torn down were routed last week with the announcement that a new "Andrew Carnegie Memorial" organ has been purchased for the auditorium.

P: Three Americans, three Hungarians, three Russians and an Italian will next year take seats left vacant by ten men in the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. One of them, First 'Cellist Alfred Wallenstein, descends from the famed militarist immortalized by Schiller.

P: Leopold Stokowski, nearest to the zenith among conductors, will direct only half the Philadelphia Orchestra concerts next season, and thereafter less and less.

P: In Berlin, last week, Maestro Arturo Toscanini announced after the Scala Company's festival performance that only once more--at the Bayreuth festival next summer--will he conduct opera. Thereafter his baton will wave only at symphony concerts.
