Myra Hess, English pianist,
received a great ovation yeSter-
day afternoon in Constitution
Hall with the National SYM
phony Orchestra.
Her sole number was the
Concerto No. l IT. D Minor, for
Piano and Orchestra, by
Brahms. Waves of applause
asked for encoreS, but Miss Hess
refrained from playing after
such taxing performance.
Anything additional would
have been in the way of an anti
climax. The Concerto No. l
proved a fitting vehicle to dis
play her technical competence
spNd musicianShip.
She was amply equal to the
varying demands of the work,
from the soft delicate filigree
passages to the laundering
bravura that sometimes burst
forth in the first movement.
The Jupiter" symphony by
Mozart was given an admirable
reading by the National Sym
phony Orchestra under the di-
rection of DR.. Hans Kinder in
the first part of the program
1t was played with a full
and inspired tone that was in
keeping with the dignified and
solemn work. While there are
pompous passages, yet the re-
straint of claSsicism prevents
blatant results.
The whole symphony seems
to build up to the finale,
which starts with a simple
four-note theme and builds up
a massive musical structure,
adding theme upon theme in
a mighty ending of tone and
harmony.
Student Concert
Another of the students con-
certs will be given tomorrow
morning at II o'clock in the
auditorium of Central High
School by the National Sym
phony Orchestra.
DR.. Hans Kinder will take
the audience on a musical trip

WESLEY HEIGHTS
MINISTER RESIGNS
DR.. Chesteen Smith to Give
Up Active Work Because
of Failing Health.
DR.. Chesteen Smith. pastor Of the

DR.. Chesteen Smith, pastor of the
Metropolitan National Memorial
Methodist Episcopal Church, in Wesley
Heights, has rendered his resignation
to become effective at the annual
Baltimore NJ e. Conference next
month when it meets at Foundry M.
E. Church.
DR.. Smith, who became pastor Of
the church about two years ago,
stated today he decided to retire from
the active work in the ministry be-
cause of failing health.
He has had AZ years service in the
ministry and during that time never
missed service on account Of sick
ness. He intends to devote his time
to study and will continue his resi-
dence in Wesley Heights.
He is a native of Indiana and was
graduated in 1893 from DepauW Uni
versity. He preached in that State
until 1912, when he went to Kansas
City as pastor of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church for four years. For
the next 10 years he preached In
Rockford and Decatur, Ill. He came
East 10 years ago and became pastor
of the Hamline Methodist Church here,
remaining more than years, when
he went to Metropolitan. DR.. Smith
served one term as superintendent Of

populated and used by the greatest
number of travellers" he declared.
Forester Winslow is credited with
having originated and developed the
use of radio sets in the towers and
automobiles. although the actual de-
signing was done by G. S. O'Conor,
who installed them and supervises
their operation. The sets are licensed
by the Federal Communications Com
mission, operate on a frequency of
IS, 800 kilocycles and have a power
output of 10 watts. They cost the
State about $50 each.
Busiest of all the towers is the one
at Burtonsville, in nearby Mont
gomery County, operated by Tower
man Arthur Vogts. William H.
McGinty, former chief of the River
dale Heights Fire Department, has
charge of the Hillmeade tower. on the
Defense Highway. and David M. Jones
keeps the lookout at the Brandywine
tower, which as yet has no radio
equipment. The third radio set is at
the Long Hill tower, near Glenburnie,
in Anne Arundel County, where Will
liam Bevan is the "broadcaster."
Forest guards who operate the radio
cars are Lawrence J. Crone of Jessups
and Jesse H. Jensen of Long Hill. Lee
Whitmore of Laurel operates the dis
patching Office in that town. which
calls out the registered crewmen after
the fires are definitely located.

"DEATH RAY" INVENTOR
SCOFFS AT USE IN WAR

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2-The inventor
of the death ray" scoffed last night
at any idea it could be used effec-
lively in actual warfare.
DR.. JACQUES Brettmon, University
of Paris radiologist, arrived on his
first visit to the United States
He said he recently had killed a
mouse at &c feet with a ray composed
of short electric waves and ultra
violet radiations, but 1t cost him
$4,000. Increasing the volume of the
rsy-at enormous cost-would not
necessarily increase its lethal effect,
DR.. Brettmon said
IF 1 should ever discover a per-
fected ray which could kill human
beings. think I should throw my
formula into the sea-" he said.
He asserted he had perfected q lie
detector that was 81 per cent ac-
curate.

NEW YORK, December 4.-Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt was still chuck
ling today about the First Lady she
met last night over the footlights.
She recognized many funny little
things in the Washington political
satire First Lady" which she saw at a
Broadway Theater, but thought it was
"a take of of situations-not people. F"
That was her answer to friends who
asked if Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
Dolly Gam or any other high figures
from Capital life had been character
lied in the comedy.
Theater-goers sitting near her in
the fourth row whispered audible
"identif1cations," but the real First
Lady said
"I think the suthors picked out
amusing incidents without stressing
personalities.
She raised an eyebrow in smiling
recognition several times, however, at
quips about the Washington scene.
Former Ambassador Henry Morgen-
thau, sr., who was beside her, rocked
with mirth.
The line. Its all wrong letting a
woman be First Lady just because her
husband is President" drew a hearty
laugh from the Presidents wife, and
so did the recipe for managing a
Washington reception:
Just remember to keep people mov-
ing-that's the secret of the whole
thing"
The satire is about two rival host
esses in Washington, each Of whom is
seeking the presidential nomination
for her husband. Diplomats to whom
three feathers are more important
than they are to fan dancer" get an
incidental thrust.
New York thinks it's overdrawn,
but Washington knows it's true" said
Katharine Dayton, a co-author Of the
play, who crouched on a stair leading
to box and watched Mrs Roosevelt's
laughing reaction through q curtain

BY Radio to The Star.
ON BOARD THE MOTOR SHIP
WYATT EARP, Antarctica, Decem-
ber At is now 10 days since word
has been received from Lincoln ELS
worth, who, on November 23, left
Dundee Island, which lies 600 miles
south OF Cape Horn. to fly to the Ross
Sea, south of New Zealand.
On the way to Magallanes, the
wyatt carp, Ellsworth supply ship,
Is passing by TERRA del Fuego, and
the delightful smell of fresh rain on
fertile soil and the mellifiuous pun
gent scent of budding tussock grass
is in the air. 1t is surprising now
keen the sailors nose gets for these
fecundate things, especially after be-
ing for weeks in the frozen deathl1Ke
phiteness of the polar regions.
On the assumption that Ellsworth
and his pilot, Herbert Hollick- kenyon,
would safely complete the flight, the
Wyatt carp might have gone directly
to the Ross Sea and most likely found
him there, but, if he was not there by
the time the boat arrived-some time
In mid -January-it would be too late
In the season to make arrangements
for his relief.
He may have reached his goal and
he may not. He may be down some
where along the route, waiting Tor
good weather in which to proceed.
He may have found some outstanding
and interesting geological feature,
which he has stopped to examine, or
he NAV be-no one here can tell, for
his wireless, since he covered half the
tourney, has been consistently silent.
So his ship is on the way to Magal-
lanes to pick up an airplane to be
used in laying depots or reaching Ellis
worth, If he is down somewhere ana
unable to proceed.
THE swell Of the sea south OF Cape
Horn has beer heavy enough to in
convenience some on board, but now
the Wyatt carp is in calmer waters
and some time on Friday should reach
Magallanes, there to await the arrival
of the emergency airplane.
