RADASSAK LISTENS
 ID FINE MUSICALE
Mrs. Ja6eN and MT. Rosenberg
 Present Program

After a large gathering of mcm- bers and friends of New Britain chapter of Hadassah had played two hours of bridge in the Erwin hotel last night the settlements of the card tables ceased and the moment had arrived for listening to an hour of music. Mrs. Nathan Jaffe, vio- linist, and Israel Rosenberg, pianist provided the program.
 The musicale started at approxi- mately 10 o'clock and lasted-again approXimatcly-an hour. During that time Mrs. Jaffe played six ster- ling examples of violin masterpieces. and midway in the program Mr. Rosenberg contributed a piano solo.
 The program was as follows:
 Prize song, "Meistersinger". by Wagner; Ballade ct Polonaisc, by NieuXtemps; Kol Nidrei, by Bruch- Mrs. Jaffe and Mr. Rosenberg.
 'Liebestraum" by Liszt-Mr. Ros- enberg.
 Rondino by Beethoven kreislcr; Air, by Bach; Hungarian Dance No. l, by Brahms-M Mrs. Jaffe and Mir. Rosenberg.
 The NieuXtemps piece was rela- tive novelty, being rarely perform cd, yet having qualities of fire and surge which command audience re- sponse. The Bruch transcription of the famous Hebrew air is a note- worthy addition 10 violin literature. These, and the more often perform ed pieces on the program, were given by Mrs. Jaffe with her accus- toned skill and artistry. Many of her friends are of the opinion that for a violiniSt o finer undoubted tal- cnts and accomplishments she ap- pears in public far too infrequently.
 By adding this fine musicale to it's bridge party, Hadassah chapter set a high mark in combining art with pleasure.

MCBRIDE DENOUNCES STAND.
Brands Morrow as Avowed Wet; Other
Opinions Vary.

BY the Associated Press.
The announcement Of Dwight w.
Morrow that he was seeking the Re
publican senatorial nomination IN New
Jersey as an advocate OF the repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment was follow
ed by the expression of variety OF
opinions in Washington.
F. Scott Mcbride, general superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League, de-
nounced Morrow'S stand as an "out and
out wet platform" and said the question
of presenting a dry candidate would be
left to the decision of the State organ
ization of the league.
Representative Bachrach, Republican,
dean of the New Jersey delegation In
Congress. said he approved Morrows
position but that he could not comment
on any substitute plan for prohibition
without giving the project thorough
study. -,
The opinion that the country would
not agree with Morrow was expressed
by Senator Jones, Republican, OF Wash
ington, author of the Jones law pro-
viding heavy maximum penalties for
offenders against the dry laws.
THAT goes right back to where we
were before we adopted the eighteenth
amendment" he said, referring to Nor
rows position. "I don't think the coun-
try wants to do that"
Termed Good Judgment"
Morrow's stand was termed good
Judgment" by Representative Graham,
Republican of Pennsylvania, an avowed
wet.
Mcbride asserted that Morrow had
adopted 1.-THE program of Henry H. Cur
ran, president of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment.
1.-THE association was against State
option until we got prohibition" he
continued, land now they want it back
again. While we were getting State
after State for prohibition these men
opposed local option, but now they find
1t their only hope. Morrow has fol-
lowed their suggestion in its entirety.
"As to what course the Anti-Saloon
League will take in New Jersey, I shall
leave that for DR.. Shields (superin-
tendent Of the State organization) to
announce"
An intention to put a dry candidate
in the field If Morrow should declare
himself against the eighteenth amend
ment was announced recently by the
STATE branch Of the league.
