As Q result of the four-car crash Nichols had to have his leg anpu- tated.
 williams stated this morning that he was driving carefully at the time of the accident, inasmuchc as it was showing hard. He said the snow was binding and that the accident was unavoidable due to the way the other three cars involved were block ing the highway.
 Dr. Harold F. Morrell testified this morning that Nichols is disabled fifty per cent as a result of the acc cident. Dr. Andrew J. Jackson is ex. pected to follow pr. Morrell on the stand this afternoon and 1t was thought that he would be the last witness.
 Atty. Michael J. Blansfield for Nichols and possibly Atty. Harry AL bert or Atty. Luke Stapleton of Nichols staff of counsel will argue his case to the jury and 1t is ex- pected that Attys. Daniel Morgan and Atty. Martin E. Gormley will argue for the defendants.
 Whether Q decision in the case will be reached today depends on the length of the arguments.

with the violin and cello played by
Milton Schwartz, first violinist of
the quartet, and William Brennand,
Its cellist, in the Couperin suite,
"L'Apotheose de Lulli." The pure,
serene line of this music, in its live
liest and more somber moments, is
refreshing to hear and this early
master of the French school is as
thoroughly cognizant of the beauty
to be derived from this union OF in
struments as he was in his writing
for the harpsichord. The artists
gave a careful reading to 1t and
were particularly felicious in their
balance of tone.

This opus Of Schumann's repre-
sents his first attempt at writing
chamber music in which he had be-
come interested after an exhaustive
study Of the Mozart literature in
this field. He took to it readily, this
third quartet Of the opus having
been composed in a few days time.
He employed as a basis of each
movement a different interval the
fifth for the first movement, the
fourth in the agitato and the adagio,
with the seventh introduced in the
latter, and the sixth for the final.
In this mere mechanical expert
ment lies the chief value of this
work which, while containing much
of Schumann's facile gift of melody,
is lacking in depth and power. He
resorts to repetition to monotonous
degree, nullifying the first arresting
effect. 1t is grateful for string
players for the tonal interplay it
permits and for its technical bril-
hancy. The Pro-Musica artists read

To Mudden's Talk
On Labor Board

After hearing the National Labor
Relations Board defended by Chair
man j. Warren Madden, an Insti-
tute on Administrative Law being
conducted here this week will dis
cuss today the Bureau of Internal
Revenue.
The institute is sponsored by the
American Bar Association and ses-
sions are held at the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, be-
ginning at 4 pm. Today's speakers
are John P. Wenchel, chief counsel
of the Bureau of Revenue, and E.
Barrett Prettyman, former general
counsel.
Chairman Madden told the in
stitute yesterday that $4,000 cases
have been handled since the board
was formed four years ago. More
than 80 per cent of this number, he
said, were settled before formal pro-
ceedlngs were begun.
Boards Rules Defended.
The chairman defended the rules
of evidence followed by the board,
which are less strict than those of
courts of records. In most cases
where courts have reviewed Labor
Board cases, the boards evidence,
Mr.. Madden said, has been accepted.
In some it has been turned down.
This, the speaker said, is precisely
where the boards findings should be
followed. He explained that this is
the point on which the experience,
trainin gand judgment of the board
are most important.
Chairman Madden said such tri-
bunalS as the National Labor Rela-
tions Board have risen to meet the
desperate reed for new tech
niques' and 10 keep pace with po-
litical and economic demands of
the prese'.t He outlined in detail
the p. ocedure under which the
board operate,
Our procedure has not re-
manned static, Mr.. Madden said
ut has been cha lged from time to
time"
First of Five Sessions.
The meeting, first of five being
given this week in the institute
series, was devoteN to the Labor
Board and questions of interest to
lawyers arising from practice before
the board.
Thomas E. KerWin of New York,
an attorney specializing in labor
law, advised lawyers practicing be-
fore the board not to take eco
nomic, political or social position
on what should be a question of
law and fact"
Participants in panel discussion
following the talks by Mr. Madden
and Mr.. kerWin were Joseph A.
PadWay, chief counsel of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor; Lee Press
man, general counsel of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organization,
and William L. Ransom, a member
of the Board of Editors, American
Bar Association Journal
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
of the Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia inaugurated
the institute, and George Maurice
Morris, chairman of the Committee
on Arrangements, presided.
The second meeting today will be
devoted to the Bureau of Internal
Revenue.

Assisting the quartet were Sylvia
Meyer, harpist; Albert Upton, flutist,
and Paul Garrett, clarinetist. In
the artistic atmosphere of the Phil
lips Gallery these concerts, given by
candlelight, hold particular charm,
enhanced yesterday by the inclusion
of those instruments that blend so
we'll with the strings.
The programmed number for the
entire group was Ravels "Introduc-
tion and Allegro" in which that ad-
mirable artist on the. harp, Miss
Meyer, focused the attention with
her commanding execution, fine
musicianship and vivid presentation.
The flute and clarinet in the hands
of Mr.. Upton and Mr.. Garrett added
greatly to the peculiar harmonic
style that was here essayed by Rayel
in his earliest years and developed
into an idiom that colored all that
he wrote later.
The flute and the harp combined

1t with great sincerity, the constant
earmark of the work of this group.
Their tone was not always as mel
low as 1t has been formerly, nor the
intonation, especially in the upper
registers, always true, but the SAL
lent features of the Schumann were
stressed with artistic understanding.
The usual distinguished audience
that patronizes these concerts
crowded the gallery to its limits and
showed both pleasure and apprecia-
ton of the unique character of the
program it was listening to.
