TR0TSKY TALK

BALKED

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10 G.N.S0.
Why Leon Trotsky could not speak
to q New York audience over the
telephone last night remained a
mystery today.
Trotsky was reported as saying
he tried to place several calls in
ordinary telephone booths in Mex
leo City, while his New York agents
charged the wire was cut some
where between Monterey and Mex
leo City.
The Mexican telephone com
pany, however, said its service to
New York was working all right,
and that Trotsky had booked no
call.
The office Of President Lazaro
Cardenas denied the government
had interfered in TrotSky'S efforts.
A spokesman said:
Eve have no knowledge Of
why Trotsky failed to speak to
New York"
While 20 policemen guarded his
residence at Coayacan, Trotsky
was absent in Mexico City, ap'
parently trying to telephone, for
about three hours, giving rise to
erroneous rumors that he had been
kidnapped by Stalinists.

Coolidge Quartet Is
Heard at Library
Of Congress
By CARL L. DENIES

The first Of a series Of eight
afternoon chamber music pro-
grams presented by the Coolidge
Quartet was given yesterday at the
auditorium of the Music Division
of the Library of Congress under
the provisions of the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation.
The Coolidge Quartet, William
Kroll and Nicolai Berezowski, vio-
lins; Nicolas Moldavan, viola, and
Victor Gottlieb, violoncello, was in
excellent voice and played in close
unity of effort. The Beethoven
quartet in F. Minor" was one of
the less melodic of this composers
works, as was likewise the GoSSec
Quartet in B Flat"
Both works are good standard
chamber music fare, but neither
contain anything of an outStand-
ing nature that will linger in the
memory. The quartet No. 2" by
Bohuslav Martinu, is most stimu-
lating to the hearer, with enough
modern diSSonances to gain atten-
ton and yet there is much Of mel
ody that satisfies the conservative
ear. Nor did the members of the
quartet make hard work of playing
this work as is usually observed
when the average quartet attempts
something of modern rhythm and
broken melodies.
The Coolidge Quartet will give
another recital this week, Thurs
day afternoon at 3:45 o'clock in
the Library of Congress Audito-
rum. The program will include
the following: Quartet in G, K.
v. 387" CMozart); Trio No. l.,
Opus 81" (Hindemith) and GUAR
tet No. S" Quincy Porter.
Uday Shan-Kar and his Hindu
Ballet made a deep impression on
the audience at the National Thea
ter yesterday afternoon. The COM
bination of authentic Hindu
dances, accompanied by authentic
Hindu instruments, produced a
spectacle that was rare indeed.
The delicate tones Of the string
instruments and flute with the
most intricate rhythms on the va
rious drums and other percussion
instruments will remain long in
the memory Of those present.
Attractive as the whole per-
formances was, the unfortunate
part of it is the fact that a West
ern audience cannot possibly catch
the full significance Of each
movement of the dancers feet,
hands and fingers, nod of the
head or elevation Of the eyebrows
and all the other numerous sub
tie methods OF expression used.
The Western mind can only be-
gin to comprehend the full mean
ing after years Of study into the
religious background Of the origin
of the dance forms and the music.
To our minds the constant repeti-
ton of a comparatively simple
theme on the flute may seem
monotonous, but when carefully
analyzed, there were m a g. C
changes of intonation, structure
and emotion that require concen-
tration to differentiate.
There were several musical in
terludes, the most interesting Of

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 Q.N.S).
Leon Trotsky'S fiery offer to pay
with his life if he had any part
in the conspiracy laid to him by
Soviet officials today lay theo-
retically with an international in
qhiry board.
The former Soviet war commits
sar's offer was made in a speech
read to 5000 persons who had
crowded into the Hippodrome
hopeful Of hearing Trotsky's own
words by telephone loud speaker
from Mexico City.
But the speech never came over,
and Max Schachtman, editor of
'"Tolstoy's Work." read the address
from a copy which had been sent
from Mexico City by air mail.
There were dramatil reports that
the prone wires had been cut some
where between Monterrey and
Mxico City.
Reception Of the speech-at
least as read-waS lukeWarm.
There was occasional applause
but no kissing or booing. Lack of
feeling one way or other was &C
counted for partly by the fact
that the orthodox Communists
had boycotted the meeting.
In his flaming attack on the
recent Moscow trial, Trotsky said:
"Why does Moscow so fear
the voice of single man? Only
because 1 know the truth, the
whole truth. Only because 1
have nothing to hide.
"Only because / am ready to
appear before the public and an
impartial commission of inquiry
with documents, facts and teSti-
mOnials in my hands, and to dis
close the truth to the very end.

crimes which Stain imputeS to

myself voluntarily in the hands
