 IN l75TH RECITAL
South Church Organist Assisted
 by Alfred Tr0emel, YiOliDiSt

With Alfred TroemeI New York yiolinist, as guest soloist, Joseph C. Bcebe, organist of south Congrega tional church. presented his 115th organ recital in the church last night before large audience.
 The principal number was the Beethoven concerto. Following a lengthy organ prelude the allegro opened with a violin theme of melodiC sweetness which was repeat ed again and again, first agitated then subdued, and reaching it's climax in the portion for violin un- accom- panied. The larghetto moved with the pomp of a stately mediaeval pageant which made all the more effective the delicaCy Of the rondo which followed This closing portion Of the concerto grew from piano 10 maestoSo and ended with pleasing pastoral effect.
 As usual with MT Be, bo's reCltals, the program opened with several Bach numbers, Two Advent Choralc preiudcs proved most timely. The first. Now Come, O Saviour Of the Lost" has the theme in the pedal and IS one of the IS great chor- alcs. II depicts the restlessncss of the world waiting the advent or it's Messiah. "Sleepcrs Wake, A Voice IS Calling" interpreted the bridal pro- ccssion with the stridcnt warnings Of the voice crying in the wilderness ss it's autipodal theme.
 The choralc prcludes were follow cd by the andantc from the Fourth Trio sonata. a short work based on three little motifs which are invort- ed. diminished and phrased and demonstrate how capable Bach was of making something out Of nothing.
 In the prelude and fugue in \ Major which followed, the prelude was merely an introduction to the fugue but in the work is found the highest expression Of the sunny happiness which Bach so often con- vcycd in his music,
 The closing portion Of the pro gram featured Saint Saens's Third Rhapsody on Breton Carols and Christmas Eve" from the Mauto- Cottone Sicilian Suite. The two final numbers were from Malling's cycle Of seven pieces "The Three Wise Men" In the first, The Alteration O. the MJgi." the composer presents a musical Nisualization Of the wise men adoring at the crcche while in the second he presents the contrast between the calm d"ncanor Of the Magi and the fury of 1Icrod perturbed at the reports Of king being born 10 the Jews.
 Mir Beebc's performance was up to his usual standard and was cX- ccptonal in the Beethoven concerto. Mir. Troemel, who has appeared on programs in South church with Mir. Bcebe before, received Congratu- lations from nearly every one in the audience at the conclusion of the recital. Plans are already under way for another joint recital in March nt which time 1t is probable that either a Bra hms or q Mozart number will be prcscnt"d.-S. l..

Conference Points Out Private
 Companies May Sell

Washington Dec. IT R-Thc threat of real estate values to air ports today was cited before the national conference on uniform areonautic regulatory laws as an argument for public ownership.
 Richard B. Barnitz, Los Angeles airport director, addressing the con- ference, said as cities grow, airport sites become more valuable, with the consequence that if they are privately owned they inevitably will be sold off for sub division"
 The group of federal and state aviation leaders, was called by Sec rctary Lamont to bring about some sort of order in air regulations and to avoid confusion existing to some extent in motor vehicle traffic codes.
 Pointing 10 the similarity bet Ween the problems in regulation Of marine and air traffic, George E. Logan, of the American Bar Asso- ciation's committee on aerOnautlCS. suggested applying portions of mari- time law to aviation.
 As an example, he would make an aviator violating air regulations responsible to the authorities where he lands, regardless of where the violation actually occurred.
 Logan also contended that most passenger air lines should be placed under regulation as common car rlers.
