CUFFEY BACKS
TOM KENNEDY

Q.N.S) Senator Joseph Guffey,
the Pennsylvania Democratic lead
er, today announced his support of
Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Kennedy for
the governorship in the May II
primary.
In announcing for Kennedy,
Guffey breaks away from the
State committee, which has al
ready endorsed a slate headed by
Charles A. Jones, Pittsburgh at.
torney, for the governorship.
Kennedy is secretary-treasurer
Of the United Mine workers, and
has the support of John L. Lewis,
the CIO leader. The CIO unions
in Pennsylvania claim to be able
to muster some 100000 votes.
Guffey recently conferred here
with Lewis, and his announced
support of Kennedy in the
primary was not unexpected,
especially since he split with the
State committee at Harrisburg
recently.

BACH SELECTIONS
ON ELECTRIC ORGAN

FERNANDO GERMANI, brilliant
young Italian virtuoso, will play
here on March at the Rialto Thea
ter at $50 pm. Germani will play
the new Hammond electric organ.
In fact. he is the first artist of prom
inence to adopt this new instrument
Tor concert purposes. He has already
won reputation throughout Europe
as the greatest living performer of
the music of Bach. It Is largely
owing to Germani's concerts in the
music capitals of Europe that the i'm
mortal Johannes Sebastian Bach has
during the last few years enjoyed
vogue almost above that of all ether
composers. The impassioned elo-
quence, the breath-taking technique
and the tovian climaxes with which
Germani characterizes his playing Of
Bach have largely brought about q
popularity for the composer that
probably surpasses the favor he has
received at any time in the past.
Germani's program for this cnncert
includes Bachs Toccata and Fugue
in D Minor. Germani, who at 20
abandoned prospects for a great Ca
reer either as pianist or conductor.
because he thought the pipe organ
offered a better opportunity to ex-
press himself and who soon became
the first box-office power among Or
ganists, has now discarded the tradi-
tional organ and adopted the new
electric organ, which produces tones
by means of electrical impulses, as his
solo instrument. He is the first great
artist to play the new instrument in
the worlds concert halls.
The electric organ Is the first in
strument which successfully employs
electricity as . means of tone produc-
tion. Fernando Germani is taking
his own instrument with MIN on the
tour. and special engineer travels
with him to install the organ 80 that
the acoustical arrangements may be
modified to suit the conditions Of each
auditorium.

In Washington are on sale at the T..
