PESCHA KAGAN
|NNATIONW|DE
RAD|0DEBUT
BY CARL L. DENIES

Pescha Kagan, young American.
born pianist, made her radio debut
over a nationwide network last
night, heard locally through
WMAL. Miss Kagan was the
guest artist with the Pittsburgh
Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Antonio Modareli.
Selecting for her opening num-
Der the finale movement in Rondo
form, of Tschaikowsky's "Con'
certo No. / for Piano and Orches-
tra,' Miss Kagan demonstrated a
marvellous mastery Of keyboard
technique in this most difficult
work. The vigorous and joyous
rhythm of the opening part Of the
movement flashed above the or
chestral background in Scintillat-
ing beauty.
As Shower Of Pearls
While there is no passage that
may be claSSed as a cadenZa in
this movement, there are several
phrases which require brilliant
feats of execution, each note OF
which was heard clear and distinct
combining in an irideScent flow as
a shower of pearls in the sunlight.
AS the movement progressed to-
ward the end, there was an added
emotion sweeping into still greater
breadth of power, aided by the or
chestra, that ended in a mighty
climax.
Without the orchestral accom-
paniment, Miss Kagan played a
work which contraSted well with
the concerto movement, "Ballads
in G Minor" (Chopin). Having had
the advantage of the coaching OF
Paderewsky on this particular
work, Miss Kagan gave perform
ance that was an artistic triumph
of restraint in time and force that
removed it from the plane Of q dis
play piece, elevating it to a thing
Of rare beauty.
Spirit of Singing Hand"
Miss Kagan succeeded in in
jecting the singing hand" spirit
which term Chopin used In ex-
planning the manner in which
his works should be played.
Everything must be made to
sing-the bass. the minor parts
everything" Miss Kagan, in the
limited time allotted her, thus
chose two works which might
best display her fine command
of technique and her high arts
tic sense Of expression.
Most of Miss Kagan's musical
education has been received In
America at the Cincinnati Col
lege of Music, and the Curtis In
stitute Of Music. She has broad
ened her musicianship by short
courses at the Royal Academy,
London, and with Arthur Selma
bel. Her playing has been highly
acclaimed privately by Paderew-
ski and Walter Damrosch. Al
though she has made some public
appearances as a child prodigy
at CQe age OF ~, she has pre-
ferred to allow her art to ma
ture before seeking too much pub
licity.
Her performance as heard via
the radio makes one long to hear
her in person, when the full
value of her personality as well
as her astounding technique, may
combine to gain for her one of
the highest places among recog-
nized piano artists.

HAWKINS GOES
ON STAND FOR
OWN DEFENSE

CULPEPER, Va, March a..
Hugh M. "Milly" Hawkins. Cul-
pepper town policeman. is ex-
pected to take the stand today
in the closing hours Of his trial
for first-degree murder, growing
out of the killing of William ].
Elliott, 81, last January.
Hawkins will follow Lewis L.
Herndon, another town police
man who was with him when the
pair fell in behind an automobile
in which were Ed and John FL
lott, sons Of the dead man,
whom they sought to arrest for
reckless driving. The Elliott
boys, according to Herndon, could
not be stopped on the highway
and were stopped at the gate
to their property when they made
a wide swing and their automo-
bile was struck by the one
operated by Hawkins.
Story Of Shooting
The boys jumped from the car
and called to their father, Hern-
don testified, and he heard "the
old man" reply that he was COM
ing to the gate. Herndon swore
he saw Mr.. Elliott, father of ii
children, coming to the gate with
a shotgun in his hands. This he
saw in the glare Of automobile
headlights, Herndon testified.
Hawkins fired when Elliott
threatened him with the gun,
Herndon said. When Hawkins
fired the first shot, Herndon said,
he saw dust fly from Elliott's
clothes and the man started to
fall forward. Hawkins fired a
second time and Elliott fell back
ward, Herndon said.
The two officers picked up the
shotgun and returned to Culpeper,
leaving Elliott lying in the road.
way. Mr.. and Mrs. Maurice Shirey,
of Front Royal, who were driving
into Culpeper, and who were
stopped by the commotion at the
gate, said they saw Hawkins take
a shot gun from his car when he
reached Culpeper.
The Shireys testified they heard
two shots fired and they immedi.
ately left for Culpeper, noticing
Hawkins car behind them when
they reached the town limits. They
pulled into town behind him and
that was how they saw him when
he took the gun from the car.
Shotgun Identified
Defense counsel, in building up
the plea that Hawkins fired when
the elder Elliott threatened him
with a shotgun, put Francis Bell,
former resident of Culpeper and
now an inmate of the Federal
penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa, on
the stand to testify that he sold
a shotgun to George Elliott, son
of the dead man, some years ago.
He identified the gun Hawkins
said he took from the. body of
Elliott as the one he had sold.
The Elliott family claimed there
was no shotgun on the premises.
R. A. Vickers commemorative
attorney for Culpeper county.
who stepped down to let an out
side prosecutor handle the States
case, testified Hawkins had sur
rendered to him after the shoot
ing and had also surrendered his
pistol which contained two ex-
ploded shells.
The case is expected to go to
the jury late today. The defense
has several witnesses to call
after Hawkins has finished his
testimony.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Henderson Post GO of the Ameri-
can Legion was held last night in it's
hall with good attendance
The Exposition committee was I'M
able to make its report at the ses-
sion, and at the same time expressed
appreciation for the cooperation ex-
tended it in the staging of the big
event
An emergency relief squad was form
ed with j. w. Jenkins as permanent
commander. He is to name four
squad leaders. Together, they will
complete the organization The names
or this group will be posted in public
places and they will be subject to call
in any emergency. They will re-
ceive special training in the handling
of emergencies, it was stated. This
new movement was started in the face
of valuable aid rendered by the Lee
gion in flooded and tornado swept
sections of the country.

mortal day program, and ]. c. Cooper
was made chairman of a committee
composed of E. w. Woodland. d. p.

AN OLD RULE GOING
Abrogation of the two-thirds' rule
at the Democrats Philadelphia con-
vention, as proposed by National
Chairman James A. Farley, with Pre-
sident RoOsevelt's Endorsement. un-
questionably will be a good thing for
the bulk of the Democratic party in
the future. 1t will not, however, be
popular with a minority element with
in the party.
A bare majority, is sufficient to
make a presidential nomination at a
Republican convention, but since early
in the nineteenth century, two-thirds
majority has been necessary for a.
Democratic nomination.
This has enabled a minority to veto
the majority's selection.
1t has resulted in deadlock after
deadlock, forcing compromise after
compromise-unsati to all con-
cerned, and politically very weaken
ing.
SOUTHERNERS LIKED 1T
Southern politicians are the folk
who like the rule, because they never
have a majority at any convention,
but generally they can control more
than one-third of the delegates. Thus,
while they can't get all that they want
they can compel concessions from the
majority.
Probably they will oppose abroga-
ton of the rule.
Still, this is the time to get the
rule abrogated if ever. The current
years convention will be unmarried bv

quence. Maybe the change can be eff
fected without too much ill feeling.
