sical commentaries on the sub
Unity of death in yesterday after
moons concert of the National
Symphony Orchestra, but these
works by Richard Strauss and
Richard Wagner were presented in
such soothing tones that the usual
fear of death was displaced for the
prospect of a serene and exalting
experience.
The two works in question were
the opening selection, Tod und
Verklarung" (Strauss), and the
closing one, "Vorspiel and Liebe-
stod," from Tristan and Isolde"
CWagner) Miss Blanca Renard,
Chilean pianist, played Strauss
"BurleSke" for piano and orcheS-
ira with such warmth and grace
that she was recalled time and
again to receive the homage Of the
audience.
The National Symphony Orches-
ira is steadily gaining in beauty of
tone, especially in the strings, as
the new season progresses. Nor was
there lack Of opportunity for the
woodwinds and brasseS to raise
their stirring voices in the Wagner
works which made up the entire
second part of the program.
AS study in contrasting
methods of approach to philoso-
ply of death, the Strauss work
makes more of the rapid review OF
the life of the dying subject and
pictures the onSlaughtS OF Death
in loud barking of the brasSes.
Death is held off for time as the
past life unreels in the feveriSh
mind and a promise of something
greater is caught.
Again Death pounces upon his
victim and the struggle sweeps
into a storm of orchestral power.
With the stilling of the heart, in
the fading light there comes
visions beyond words assuring the
listener that Death is in reality
beautiful. Like the kind parent
who is hurt worse than the child
in applying physical punishment,
so Death is cruel only to be kind.
On the other hand, Wagner'S
musical version of the story as
Sumes that Death is the answer to
all questions. Isolde makes Death
her servant and friend in rejoin-
ing her slain lover Tristan. Thus
the visit of Death is not presaged
by the vigorous treatment as heard
in the first mentioned work. It is
a beautiful love song with oc.
casional outbursts of powerful ex-
preston, ending in a gradual fad
ing of orchestral power into a
peaceful end.
Miss Renard, in playing the
seldom heard "Burleske," made
an impression of serious study
and impaired a beauty to the
work that the name would hardly
suggest. Her touch is light and
full of warmth which made of
the work q profound concerto for
her chosen instrument.

celled countervailing duties on i'm,
ports from Germany, following as
Surance from the Hitler govern
ment that all forms of export sub
sides had been abandoned.
Under the 1880 tariff act. the
Treasury had imposed counterval-
ing 'uties on 10 types of German
exports to the United States be-
cause they were in effect being
Subsidized.
Germany Thursday advised the
State Department it had aban-
doned subsidies and asked that the
countervailing duties be removed.
The duties, authorized by the
Smoot-Hawley tariff act, were in
voked June 4 on finding by the
Attorney General that the Reich's
use of aski-marks, deprecated
bonds and bounties to promote ex-
ports constituted subsidies within
the meaning of the act.
AS a result of the order, coun-
tervailing duties ranging up to Sc
per cent of invoice value were can
celled on cotton and rayon gloves,
china table wear, metal covered
paper, thumb tacks, toys, dolls,
and toy figures, leather gloves and

COUNTY TO END
USELESS JOBS

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Aug. Harrington County's
personnel list, which carries the
names of more than 200 employees,
will be thoroughly checked by
County Manager Frank c. Hanra-
han with a view toward dropping
all employees not needed on the
county's payroll, it was announced
by Mr.. Hanrahan following COM
plant of members of the board of
commissioners.
In approving the county semi
monthly payroll, Board Member
William P. AmeS called attention
to the fact that the list of en-
ployes carried six persons listed
as surveyors rodmen, although the
county has only one survey party
in the field.
Beginning September l, Mr..
Hanrahan announced, a weekly
conference will be held with the
heads of all departments and the
volume of employees will be kept at
a minimum.
Commissioner Freeland Chew
said he was opposed to approving
the salary of any county employee
whose appointment had not re-
ceived the approval of the county
manager before being employed.
Day laborers, it was brought out,
are scarce in Arlington county,
and members of the board are
anxious to drop as many from the
county'S pay roll as possible while
they can get employment on pri.
vate projects, such as real-estate
developments and construction
work which is now setting an all
time record in Arlington county.
