night at the Mayflower Hotel ball.

ed his ability as a fast technician
on the keyboard. his greatest ap-
peal to the audience last night lay
in his poetic expression in inter.
preting the more quiet works Of
Franck, Chopin and Castelnuovo.
The Three Preludes" (ShoSta-
kovitch) were interesting short
sketches, not so modernistic as the
"Danse Russo" from "Petrouch-
ka" (Strawinsky). Marta de Ia
Tore displayed a sound technique
on the violin with smooth bow
ing action. Her own composition,
"Rapsodia Cubana," was q fine
show piece allowing for double
stops, pizzicati, right and left
hand, and harmonIcs, yet these
feats of technique did not intrude
upon the melodic style OF the
piece.

Born in Washington. June 10,
1864, Mr.. Rakemann was educated
in the Seaton and Abbott grade

Wirth and Joseph Joachim. Later
he was a pupil of the immortal
Eugene Ysaye in Brussels.
Mr. Rakemann traces the de.
velopment of symphonic music in
Washington from 1901, when the
famous composer-conductor, Regi.
nal De Koven, for whom he was
concertmaster and assistant con,
ductor, organized the Washington
Symphony Orchestra.
When De Koven relinquished
the leadership three years later,
Rakemann reorganized the group
on a cooperative basis for two
seasons and was succeeded by
Heinrich Hammer, who carried
on for several more years.

A bass viol solo was one Of the
unusual features of the concert of
the Marine Band Symphony Or
chestra last night at the Marine
Barracks. Musician Frank
Schumm played "Elegie" (Jaksch)
and "PolonaiSe" (Kuhla), both Of
which called for considerable fast
technique and even double stop
work.
These pieces, for the most part,
were played in the higher posi-
tions of the instrument with q
resulting tonal quality similar to
that of the violoncello, although
there were occasional low tones on
the E and A strings. Koussevitsky,
the conductor of the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra, Is one of the
few performers that uses the bass
viol as a solo instrument. Prob
ably the most interesting appeal
Of bass viol solos, such as Mr..
Schumm played, is the demonstra-
ton Of rapid passages and flexi-
bility of technique which is not
usually associated with the in
strument.

lea q symphonic poem, La Re-
belion del Aqua" CUgarte, Of Ar

somewhat descriptive Of one of
the numerous South American
revolutions. The work starts
with quiet phrases on the wood
winds and strings, working up to
climax after climax, each success
Sive one greater than the previous.
Between these high points there
Is a vague muttering Of unrest
which finally bursts out in a pow
erful phrase dominated by the
staccato and loud tones from the
xylophone as if initiating gunfire.
The fighting dies down and there
is a period Of sombre reflection,
and the work ends on a long-drawn
low tone on the string bass. Rich
orchestral color1ng is evident
without the usual fanfares and
military rhythm, making it an al
together different and delightful
battle description.
Owing to radio restrictions, only
the first movement of the suite,

IN MUSIC

Native Washingtonians are
supposed to be almost as hard to
find in the Nations Capital as
Alaskans or Hawaiians, but the
National Symphony Orchestra has
on its pay roll goodly number
of musicians who either were
born here or have spent their en-
tire professional life in this city.
One of the most valid claims
of the National Symphony Or.
chestra Association for recogni-
ton and financial support is that
it employees some 80 artists whose
talents not only aid the cultural
elevation Of the Capital but
spread the cultural reputation Of
washington throughout the coun-
try.

To insure the continuation Of
this program a drive for 500, 900
to finance the usual Constitution
Hall concerts and children's con-
certs next season and the sunset

mer was undertaken today and
will continue until March Is.

better acquainted with the musi-
clans of the symphony, whose
birth or education makes them

NORRIS IS VICTOR
ON POWER FUNDS
Defeats Moves to Cut Rural
Spending--King Amend
ment Fight Next.
~ ths Associated Press.

Sy the Associated Press. 49,.
Senator Norris, Republican, OF Ne
braska, victor against moves to tone
down his s420 900 900 rural electrifica-
tion bill, sought today to combat
further restrictive proposals and push
the measure through the chamber.
Vigorous opposition to certain
spending provisions was met and over
come Yesterday. More was due to-
day in an amendment by Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, to trim the sum
to be spent down to 100000. Nor
ris' original plan called for the spend
ing of 81 600, ,0O0, 900 in decade, but
this was cut to $420, 100000 in White
House conference.
Senators Connally, Democrat, of
Texas, and O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of
wyoming, bitterly opposed some of the
discretionary spending powers.
OMahoney introduced an amend
ment to put the administrator under
the same restrictions as departmental
heads who must present their financial
needs to Congress. This was defeated
d to 81.
Under an agreement worked out
with administration leaders, the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
would lend S5o,000Ooo year for the
first two years to put the program into
effect. During the following eight
wears of the 1O-year program direct
appropriation of $40,000,000 annually
would be authorized.
Defeat of the OMahoney amend
tnent leaves in the measure the pro-
vision to give the administrator dis
cretionary powers on the amount TO
be spent for supplies, services and
equipment.
Norris also proposed to give the ad-
ministrator greater discretion in fixing
the amounts to be apportioned among
the States. The original measure
would have required that 70 per cent
of the annual allotment be distributed
to States in proportion to the number
of farmers without electric power,
with 80 per cent to be spent at the dis
cretion of the administrator. Norris
amendment would split the percentage
equally.
