SAY BALKAN CRISIS
 IS AGAIN BREWING
France, Italy and Ju8@laYil All
 Are Suspicious

London, Feb. (UP) - A fresh Balkan crisis. symptimatic of under surface nervousness in postwar Europe. seemed brewing today with a mixture of highly explosive in- gradients.
 They concerned the mutual suspl- cions of Italy. on one hand. and France and Jugoslavia, her ally. on the other.
 First. the Italian Fascist news paper Giornale D'Italia published what it declared to be q secret French -Jugoslavian military treaty, presumably aimed against Italy.
 Secondly. members of the Balkan Little Entente" demanded League of Nations investigation of the at legged shipment by Italy Of machine guns to Hungary of the de- feated world nations whose arnla- ments are restricted.
 Thirdly. four members Of the Jugoslavian cabinet resigned. Ono of them was the foreign minister N hO signed a IeN WtfhS dso u t''"' of friendship with France. Ihis treaty caused a. defensive alliance between Italy and Albania, and pre- cipitated the last Balkan crisis
 Fourtbly, while these events were occurring, Italian Premier Ren''o Nusso,ini was telling his Fascist militia:
 "In time of war you will fight with inc army. You will be storm'hg pat talions, shock squads with a dagger in your teeth and bombs Tn your hands.
 "you are aware that many peoples in the world hate US. both as ma lion and because of the Fascist re gime, It is necessary for you to pc ready to defend both.
 Jncidentally. a League of Nations committee was meeting s'mn'tan n- eously to prepare an anti-war treaty

 Polls Statement.
 Negotiations are still under way and do not expect to see tho mat ter definitely decided one way or the other for three or four day: yet. Our lawyers have been busy work ing out every possible detail of the deal with meticulous care. for they want to have everything in the best order before the sale is completed. This will probably explain the delay in finishing our negotiations"
 Charles NJ. Thayer, of Worcester. Mass. lawyer for Mir. Poli. said there has been a break in the relationship between the parties of the sale and that he believed in spite of the laps ed option MT. Shoolman could buy the theaters if he wished to do SO

 There IS no dissension or discord between Mir. Poli and Mir. Shool- man." he said. "and it is because of the details involved and for that reason alone, that the sale has not been completed before now, I am quite confident that within a short time the deal will be completed and the transfer of ownership made"
 Louis NJ. Sagal, general manager of the Poli circuit stated that Mir. Shoolman could still buy the cir cult. All they have to do Is tn pay over the monay," he said,

Some idea of the size of the organ is obtained when one pays visit to the structure, for structure it &C., tually is. There are number of doors to the inside of the instru- ment and once inside the visitor can easily imagine himself in . small house. There are several stories to the interior, each reached by a series of smirways, adequately illum- mated with electric lights.
 The electrical wires necessary to operate the organ, if placed end to end would reach from this city to the outskirts of New Haven, there being a total of 25 to 27 miles.
 It is the largest organ in the state and one of the largest in the east at the present time. The instrument has six departments and in its in- terior one reaches the different de- partments by means of stairways and platforms. There are the solo, l swell, great, choir and pedal depart ments.
 It consists of approximately 5000 pipes the largest being a square wood pipe 16 feet long and IT by 19 inches square. The smallest pipe is but an eighth of an inch in diameter and three eighths of an inch long.
 Pipes arc of lead. tin and zinc al- Joys. In the front or display part of the organ there are Fl round metal pipes 16 feet long and about $ smaller pipes in plain view.
 The instrument combines all the effects of a full orchestra and brass band, including saxophone, oboe, cornet, clarinet. French horn. trom- bone, flute and in fact everything down to and including the drums. It also includes all the diapason qualities used in large organs for religious music.
 There are approximately 100 reg isters or stop knobs. each knob con- trolling different tone effect. There arc 23 couplcrs which connect vari- ous units, 23 pistons. which auto maticalIy operate the stop knobs. The instrument Is played by four

OLD AND NEW MEET
 IN CONCERT MUSIC.
Delightful Program Givn q
 Sons of Israel Synagogue

Back in the distant ages. when the Hebrews were still in Egypt or had reached the promised land; when they got to Babylon. and were in contact with oriental tribes. po- tentatives. forgotten civilization: be fore they were in captivity, or dur ing captivity, or when they finally returned to Palestine-those were the days when the concourse of sweet sounds enveloped their character. King David liked his harps, and there was playing upon pipes; and perh IDS much of the mu- sic was walled in what approximates minor modes such as we now have them.
 To this day a first class Jewish cantor can give a fair idea what these ancient musical rites were like.
 All of which IS by way of saying. of course. that :here were examples of the ancient idicm heard once again in New Britain last night. At the synagogue of the Sons of Israel. Elm and Chestnut streets, the old was mixed with the modern: and though tbere was considerable of the latter, the grim strains Of the old music was well represented. Cantor Solomon Marwit knows conventional and traditional Hebrew music from the earliest times on and he is never happier than when given the oppor- tunity to bring forward the strains of the desert. the rocky slopes Of Palestine, or even the idiom develop cd along the Babylonian plains.
 There was Edward Gehrman. for instance. He lives in Hartford. Conn. Once he sang in opera in Germany. hut he got enough of 1t when the mark looked like Bahylonian prom ises. He is a bass baritone and knows more than his notes. His in terpretive powers held the 800 in the synagogue spellbound. His wife, WiIlfreda Gehrman. vlollnlst of high caliber. was also there and leIpeu llsI IluSOuHN lV 0hSSA~A ' umph for the Gehrman family.
 Bcrcle Chagy, tenor, with much Of d reputation in Jewish circles, charmed with his incantations. and when he gave tender folk song he simply opened the sluicegates of emotional fervor.
 Another soIoist was Israel Roscn- berg, pianist. The New Britain mu- sician projected as his star number the 12th Liszt Rhapsody. playing with customary virility and tech- nical finish.
 All the soloists did not confine to modern music. There was Cantor Marwit. for instance. He also is a baritone, and sang Jewish music written so far back that even the wise men of the race can't tell the dates.
 The choir need not be overlooked. it was also dclved in the unique-to modern ears--though perhaps not 50 unique to Jews who know their tra- ditional tones. Music with wall in it, with a shout of joy, too-every- thing from abject misery to supreme gladness-that it gave with satisfac- ton. The audience understood per fectly. A race that dates from before the Old Testament naturally accu- mulates some traditions that later races can only admire.
 The concert. unique in character. was especially unique to the ears of such Gentiles who may have been fharo
