Gov. Nice Dep|ores Nazi
Treatment Of Jews
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 12-Gov
Harry w. Nice issued formal
statement tonight protesting anti
Semitism in Nazi Germany, and
expressing the hope that the Ger
man people would "once more take
their place in the world as a civil
lied nation"
The Governors statement was
similar to those of other govern
ment officials in the Nation who
have protested Nazi treatment OF
Jews.
The statement read:
'"The civilized world stands aghast
at the unbelievably frightful bar
barism being inflicted on the har-
assed remnants of the Jewish
communities of the Na1 realm. In
the name of humanity and of the
God who is the Father of all men,
we raise our voices in Mortified pro-
test against these violations of fun
damental human decency.
1--WE hope that it is not too late
for the people of Germany to re-
trace their steps from the pit of
savagery into which they are being
led, and once more to take their
place in the world as a civilized ma
ton"

Group 10 Protest Plans
To Close Otis Place

Armed with several hundred sig
natures OF property owners on a
petition, committee from the Park
View neighborhood is expected to
call on the District Commissioners
tomorrow at 10 am. in the District
Building to protest the request of
the Board of Education to close Otis
place between Sixth and Warder
streets NV.
Despite the closing of the Park
View School last Monday night, due
to a slip-up in arrangements, inter-
ested members of the group congre-
gated on the front steps of the school
and made plans to be represented
tomorrow.
Individual members suggested the
District either buy the land behind
the school grounds for a playground
or construct an underground pas
sage-way across Otis place to the
present playground.
1t was brought out at the OPEN
air discussion that a similar pro-
posal to close Otis place was made
10 years ago, but protest from resi-
dents blocked action.
The Businessmen's Association in
the Park View section is co-operat-
ing with the citizens group in its
protest.
Following the session with the
Commissioners, the group will hold
Its monthly meeting at 8 pm. in the
Park View School, at which time
action will be taken on the ques-
ton.

Kolisch Four
Series
Two Masterpieces
Added to Eight
Already Heard

The fourth concert in the Bee~
thovens String Quartet series yes
terday afternoon at the Library of
Congress, presented by the Kolisch
Quartet. Rudolf Kolisch and Fe-
liX Khuner, violins; Eugen Lehner,
viola, and Benar Heifetz, violon-
cello, added two masterpieces to
the eight already heard. Both of
these we're commissioned by Rus
sian noblemen, the "Quaratet in E
Flat Major, Op. 127" or La Gaiete,"
by Galitzen, and Quartet in F
Major. Op. SO, No. l" by Rasou-
mowsky.
La Gazette" thus named by Bee
thoveh himself, is full of emotional
content. It's "Adagio ma non troppo
motto cantabile" is considered to
be one of the finest from the mas
ter's pen. Lofty and unusually beau
tiful. it served as an inspiration to
Schumann for the variations in
one of his Quartets, as well as to
Brahms, for the slow movement of
his famous piano Quaratet in q
minor. So great was the success of
this composition in Beethoven's life
time, that at its second perfQrm-
ance it was played twice through.
Remarkable as this work is, yes
terday's presentation did not meas
ure up to the usual standard Of the
Kolisch group, which fell short in
bringing out the salient points Of
its contents. A couple of mishaps
during the performance, threatened
to have serious consequences and
the inaccuracy of pitch and sharp
ness of tone were more pronounced
than on former occasions. One may
wonder, under the circumstances,
whether such an unnecessary strain
as playing from memory, is ad-
visable. It is only human to make
slips, why should Interpretation suf-
fer from the unrest or nervousness
of one or more performers?
However. no adverse criticism
could be applied to the presentation
of the Quartet in F Major" which
proved delightful experience. The
opus gives an opportunity to each
individual player to be heard, begin
ming with the cello, which has the
opening bars. The velvety tone of
this instrument and the ease of
execution on the part Of the player
added a great deal to the pleasure
of the afternoon.
The usual share Of. applause and
appreciation fell to the lot Of the
artists; they have already number
OF devotees who attend every per-
formance. E. DE S,
