Anti NeeV Deal Leaders
Back Away from Plans

WASHINGTON. March p UP.
Apparently authentic information
available here today indicates the
logical leaders among the anti-New
Deal Democrats have decided to
abandon efforts to prevent PreSi-
dent Rooseyelt'S denomination.
They are represented as believing
a pre-canyention Stop Roosevelt
movement would be futile. What
WASHINGTON wants TO know is whCth-
cr ana how they viii oppose the
Roosevelt ticket after the Democratic
and Republican nominees have been
selected
Boltine leaders usually have three
choices. They may Sulk in their
tents. They may join the enemy
or they may organize a party of
their own as did Theodore Roose-
Welt in 1912 and the late Robert NJ.

He Is not claSsed precisely as an

Tydings qualified his Roosevelt en-

the players was not as smooth, nor
the blending Of tone as subtle, as in
the Beethoven Quartet In d, Opus

Der Of the evening.
Beethoven in this work, which is
included In a group representing one
Of his great productive outbursts, has
given full rein to his happiest and
most virile mood Through the four
movements the grace and loveliness of
his thought pass with unabted
strength. The artistic union of the

by the Gertrude Clarke Whit
tall Foundation during De-
cember and January took place last
evening at the Library of Congress.
For this purpose the famous quartet
of Stradivari instruments which Mrs.
Whittall donated to the Library will
be used, and for yesterdays concert
the artists were Wolfe Wolfinsohn and
Alfred Pochon, violins; Marcel Dick,
Viola and Ivan dArchambeau, cellist
members Of the Stradivarius Quartet
Of New York.
Stradivari violins are often heard
in concert halls, but seldom does the
music public have an opportunity to
hear four Of the masters instruments
together. or his violas and cellos, be-
cause of their rarity, in solo per-
formances. Yesterdays "r0'"Gm -
tured the Beethoven Sonata in D
Opus l02, No. g" for cello and pianu,
Mr.. d'Archambeau assisted by Beryl
Rubenstein at the piano
Mr.. d'Archambeau's command of
his instrument, his beautiful tone and
fine musicianship have been noted be-
fore in former appearances. With the
magnificent Stradivari cello in his
hands he was able to give still more
evidence Of his talent in the sonata
and in the ensemble numbers pro-
grammed. In the sonata, which many
claim Is the beginning of Beethovens
third period, the opportunity for
purely lyric playing is mostly con-
fined to. the second movement. Mr..
dArchambeau, sympathetically abetted
by Mr.. Rubenstein. enhanced the
poetry of the music with the express
sive roundness Of his tone, giving a
beautiful demonstration of all-round
cello artistry.
The first hearing of Alfred Pochon's
transcription of Bach's "Passacaglia
in c Minor" opened the program. Since
Bach has placed the main themes of
his great organ composition in the
darker voices of the instrument. the
toral richness of the viola and cello
used yesterday was as fine a counter
part as it is possible to find in the
string family. Mr.. Pochon has made an
excellent arrangement. which allowed
the diverse elements which Bach COM
bined with such superb craftsmanship

This assertion by the Federal di-

here yesterday for opening Of the
Virginia Conference on Social
Work. Meetings of the group will
continue through Saturday morn

Director Bates deplored the
