II so every one WHO neaTQ NIL
Ormandy's reading Of the Harl
choral symphony last
night in Constitution Hall will
hope that it does not involve a
change that will remove him from
participation in this city's musical
life. For in this concert Ormandy
authority and power in
measure far above his previous
achievements Of the season.
NOBLE WORK
He seemed to draw inspiration
from the great symphony by Harl
Mcdonald which had its first
hearing here. Facec with the al
ways onerous task of persuading
the multitude of the worth OF a
serious novelty, he gathered his
forces to match in performance
the splendid inspiration OF the
composer. It Is a noble work in
which the vast means of orchestra,
chorus and solo voice are handled
with amazinl' ease. The writing
for the chorus is crystal clear. The
solo voice must sing, disclaim
and wall. There is sheer wizardry
in some of the orchestral effects.
Mcdonald does not feel it nee
essary to be modern in the caco
phonouS contemporary manner.
He uses dissonance as it suits his
purpose but is more interested in
rhythm, as witness the startling
scherZo. or in fantastic orchestral
color, as in the whispering and
rushing ponte cello string pas
Sages of the first movement. The
Lamentations of Flu Hsuan," or
rather, brief verses drawn from
The Washington times., 1938-01-12

the poem, have been used as texts
for chorus and soprano. They sug-
gest sad anG eerie moods.
CHORUS PRAISED
That the new symphony was
received with surprising mani
feStations of approval was due,
first of all to the virtuoso quality
of the performance. One ex-
poets nothing else from this or
chestra; but no one expects
similar expertness from a large
amateur chorus. Yet that was
what Ormandy produced from
the group of singers sent with
him from the University of Penn
sylvania-a freSh-voiced, serious,
responsive and competent choir.
The soloiSt, Selma AmanSky,
also of Philadelphia, is a greatly
gifted artist with a dramatic
soprano Of distinguished beauty to
match her admirable interpreta-
tive aCCa1nmenCS.
MASTER HONORED
The program opened with a
transcription by Cailliet of a Pas
sacaglia by Ruxtehude, the Swed-
ish organist whom Johann Sebas-
tian Bach emulated. It was played
in honor of this venerable masters
300th birthday. The same facile
tranScriber was represented in a
setting of Moussorgsky's piano
suite, Picture in an Exhibition,
which was by no chance so sue
cessfuI. In fact it seemed work
of supererrogation since there al
ready is a better transcription
from the pen of Maurice Ravel.

Retreat League
Stages Rally

Approximately 1,500 men and
women gathered last night in
the presidential ball room Of the

wide rally held by the washing
ton Retreat League. This event,
which marks the second year OF
existence for the Retreat League
and the second annual rally

laymen. -.
Substituting for the Most Rev.
Michael j. Curley, Archbishop OF
Baltimore, recently released
from a Baltimore hospital and
who was unable to be present,
was Bishop John M. McNamara.
MCNAMARA SPEAKS
Referring to the fast pace Of
the modern generation, Bishop
Mcnamara said: To-day, so
many seek pleasure and amuse-
Inent. I often see men and
women pass my church Bishop
McNamara, besides being Bishop
of Washington, is also pastor Of
st. Gabriel'S Church, the large
grey stone Gothic edifice on
Grant Circle) on their way to
work. I see them come home in
the evening. An hour or two
later, I see them go out again,
seeking, no doubt, pleasure and
amusement. I sometimes think
that the reason for this is that
they are unable to understand
SELF From the looks Of things,
I am of the opinion that they
will not really see themselves as
they are until they come face to
face with the gates of eternal
life"

fishes of the District and from

more vocational training efforts.
Although only ~ per cent Of the
male jobless registered in last No

fied as unskilled, Mr.. Biggers said this
was out Of proportion to 1880 census
figures showing that only ~ per cent
Of the men workers we're unskilled.
He added that 'if, as is indicated.
the developments in industry call for
workmen Of higher skills, the obvious
demand is to give more attention to
proper vocational training so that the
Nation may be able to utilize more
easily these unemployed workmen."
The men registered we're classified
as: 2.177,l50 unskilled: 1,l5S, ,309 semi

Mr.. Doherty disputed the surveys

members and that in excess of 3,O00,-
600 of the more than 4,000, 900 men

World War have been members.
Many of our institutions Of higher
learning" he said. instead Of being
sources Of patriotism, are hotbeds of
Communism for the dissemination of
theories and philosophers of govern
ment which are entirely alien to the
American concept and American prin-
ciples under which We have prospered
more than century and half As no
other people.
I'VE also know that among certain
educational groups every effort has
been made to strip the Nation of its
means for an adequate national de-
fense and that if efforts of those
groups were successful America un-
doubtedly would be the prey to aegres-

Judge Paul NJ Schaeffer refused in
Dauphin County Court today to permit
Attorney General Guy K. Bard to
supersede District Attorney Carl B.
Shelley in a proposed grand jury in
vestigation of campaign charges of
political graft and corruption aimed
at Gov. George H. Earle and l3 per-
sons connected with his administra-
ton.
The charges were hurled originally
in the heated Pennsylvania primary
election campaign.
Judge Schaeffer said in his decision,
however, that he did not undertake
Ito decide that the attorney general
may not participate in these proceed

We believe that he as well as the
district attorney" Judge Schaeffer
said. "can be Of real assistance to this
court in considering the scope of the
proposed investigation. and such ques-
tions of law as may arise preliminary
or during the course Of the proceeding
1T is the hope of the court that the
district attorney and the attorney
general, laying aside all possible Diff
ferences, will agree to plan of opera
ton together to the end that the pub
lie confidence in whatever is done
here may deservedly be maintained"
Bard had sought to force Shelley to
surrender to him all records and any
evidence the district attorney had coll
lected during his preliminary investi-
cation. Bard took the position that
the State code permitted him to super
sede the district attorney in the case,
claiming Shelley had refused to CO.
