A whole series of explosives "a

Press Association to have started a
big fire in the Munich cellar where
all the top command of the Nazi
revolution had assembled with
Hitler to hear him declare that
Germany would never quit without
victory.
The Press Association punctil-
iously described this hit as an in
advertence-and said the stick had
overshot its mark. The Air Min
istry's official communique was even
more restrained. 1t announced: "A
strong force of R. A. F. bombers

For example. with a watchful eye
on the Caribbean as q potential
trouble spot in event Of any threat
to the Panama Canal, the Marines
are counting on six refitted, speedy
destroyers to give them sea-going
versions of Germany's swift-striking
"panzer" outfits with which they
would be able to reach trouble zones
with minimum loss of time. Cap
able of 30-knot speeds, these de-
stroyers could transport between
1000 and 1900 men fully equipped
with rapid-fire infantry weapons,
light tanks, pack howitzers and

As result of an intensified re-

limit of $4,000. In addition, the 81
infantry battalions and two artillery
battalions in its organized reserve

Sir Walter Layton
Denies He Urged
Longer Work Week
Speech About Sacrifice
Misinterpreted, Declares
British Purchasing Agent

Explaining that speech he made
IN Boston had been misinterpreted
Sir Walter Layton of the British
purchasing mission said yesterday
that a news article in The Star
representing him as favoring re-
Taxation of labor standards in this
country to speed production did not
correctly reflect his position.
1T would be very improper for
any one who is engaged in official
negotiations with the American
Government to offer unsolicited ad-
vice or comment upon matter of
internal policies such as this" he
said.
Sir Walter had discussed the
prospect of some sacrifice of the
amenities of ordinary life" being
necesSitated if American industry
was to arm both Great Britain and
this country, and the news article
in question construed this to mean
suspension of the 40-hour week.
In letter to The Star, he said:
May I say that in using the
phrase, amenities of ordinary life,
nothing was farther from my
thoughts than the labor laws of the
United States. and it was a great sur
prise to me that this phrase could
be so interpreted What I intended
to convey. and l hope I succeeded
in conveying to those who heard me,
was that the call upon the industrial
resources of this country, Hpon its
machine tools, its skilled labor, and
its raw materials, was likely to be on
so great scale that the industries
concerned could not at the same
time supply all the consumable goods
to which this country has become
accustomed.
Many factories engaged on mu-
milton work are already on multiple
shifts, and as the pressure to secure
the maximum output from the avail
able munitions plants increases this
will doubtless become more general
The figures which I gave of the war
potential of different countries were
designed to show that a very whole
hearted effort of production will be
needed from this country if Ger
nany's immense armament resources
of all kinds are to be overwhelmed.
But the United States has a large
surplus of unemployed labor. !
therefore did not say and did not
mean to imply that in order to get
the necessary output this country
must suspend the 40-hour week"

minutes before our scheduled time.
"" We were cruising around for
about 20 minutes before We bombed,
making sure exactly where we were.
FLARES were lighting up the
locomotive sheds-in fact everything
was absolutely clear.
After we had come right down
the bomb aimer reported: Bombs
gone And then he shouted I've
got it, I don't see how he could
have missed from that height.
"As soon as we got clear of the
target and had Strengthened out on
our course we started on coffee and
sandwiches. We don't usually do
that until we are pretty well clear
Of enemy territory but this time we
thought we deserved a little nour-
ishment."

"The Santa Fe Trat1" con amore
and with the imprint Of . strong
mental. picture.
The work is full Of atmosphere
from the first monotonous descrip-
ton Of the desert to the ANAL accept
ance by the pioneers Of the life
around them. The various elements
that accompanied the trek west
ward, the sojourn in colorful Span
ish settlements, the urge toward
final conquest of the West, the con-
trasts between nature in man and
nature in itself are vividly expressed
with a skillful use of abundant
thematic material and an expert
understanding of orchestral balance.
Mr.. Ormandy read the score with
great sympathy and the audience
was moved to a demonstration of
appreciation toward the composer,
who several times was forced to
bow ht acknowledgment.
The remainder Of the program was
of the kind that Mr.. Ormandy is
especially gifted in interpreting. The
soft lonely music Of Sibelius' 1.-THE
Swan Of Tuonela" and the charm
ing scherzo, Queen Nab" from
Berlioz's Romeo and juliet" with its
infinitesimal, gay flutter of tone,
were exquisitely played. The sharp
difference between these two at
mospheric works and the overture
to Wagner's Die Meistersinger"
with which the program opened was
created by Mr.. Ormandy with mas
terly understanding.
Climaxing the program was
Strauss Emperor Waltz" as SUI
perbly given as one could wish to
hear. Mr.. Ormandy reached the
climax of his conducting here. also,
in the scintillating spirit. the elastic
rhythms. the romance. poetry and
gaiety which he poured into 1t. Not
a person present whose blood did not
beat quicker and whose heart did
not warm with the charm Of this
music Of another era so splendidly
made alive in Mr.. Ormandy's con-
ception of it. The audience was
loath to leave and the conductor,
never alone but surrounded by his
band of artists, was given an ova-
ton. This successful conclusion OF
successful season was almost dra-
matte in the enthusiasm that gripped
the conductor. the players and the
listeners.

this superb group. The program
was further noteworthy for the pres
entation OF DR.. Harl Mcdonald,
manager Of the orchestra, In the
role Of composer, q role in which
this excellent musician has achieved
widespread fame.
Miss hampton, who has appeared
here before, not as q soprano but a
contralto, was called upon at nearly
the last minute to take the place
Of Frances Nash Watson, pianist,
whose illness, resulting from an ac-
cident. caused the substitution. She
gave generously of her art, singing
the recitative and Air de Liza"
from Debussy's "L'Enfant Prologue, /"
Bachelet's "Chere Mutt" McDonald's
'Daybreak. Strauss "Wiegenlied"
and the Pace. pace, mio Dio" from
Verdi's la Fora del Destino." The
phenomenal voice, which made Miss
hampton equally at home in con-
tralto or soprano literature, has
power and smoothness throughout
its wide range.
The rich quality that was its
unique asset aside from its extraor-
dinary range, is not as full and
warm as formerly. The high tones
are brilliant yet an accompanying
brilliancy does not exist in the lower
register. A faulty breath control
may be responsible for this as we'll
as the effort which the emission of
the upper tones causes the singer.
Yet these blemishes did not affect
the presentation of her numbers or
her very real success with the audi
ence. The lovely "Daybreak" by
Mcdonald and the "Wiegenlied'
offered vivid contrasts to the more
dramatic numbers and we're finely
given. The young singer was re-
called repeatedly after conclusion Of
each of her groups.
In THE Santa Fe Trail" DR..
Mcdonald has put the very essence
of the American spirit. The work
should stand not only as musical
monument to the hardy pioneers
who extended the boundaries Of
this country but as an incentive to
other American composers to utilize
the fascinating material at hand
for inspiration in their writing. Yet
not every composer could have such
a musical INSTALLATION or the warm
sympathy with his subject that DR..
Mcdonald shows. He has written
