QUARTET HERE
Helen Jepson Is Due
Next on Course
of L. M. c.

In presenting the Stradivarius
quartet at the First Baptist church
Tuesday night the Ladies Musical
club redeemed a promise to give
Tacoma an evening of Chamber
music much out of the ordinary.
Members of the ensemble-wolfe
Wolfinsohn and Bernard Robbins,
Siolins; Marcel Dick, viola; Ivan
D'Archambeau, ceilo-each an art
list in his own right, played with
the assurance that comes from
long association, thorough prepar-
alton and musical understanding.
The program, obviously chosen
to display the musicianship Of the
artists. included the Brahms Quar-
tet in A Minor, the Haydn Quar-
tet in d Major (The Lark, and
Maurice Ravers Quartet in F
Major. Just as obviously the pref
erence of the audience was for the
Haydn and Ravel numbers; the
former because of its tunefulness
and the latter because of a certain
yivacity and sprightliness.
The next number on the current
artist course sponsored by the
Ladies Musical club will be Helen
Jepson, popular screen and opera
star, Feb. 2.

Evening star., 1940-04-12
By GARRETT d. HORNER.

President Roosevelt, declaring the
Danish possession of Greenland is
more closely related to the American
than to the European continent dis
closed today that he had started
action looking toward possible Red
Cross relief for the 1900 inhab-
itants of Greenland next winter.
The President dismissed as pre-
mature and hypothetical, however,
questions about possible application
of the Monroe Doctrine should
Greenland be taken over by either
Germany or Great Britain.
He added that he thought 1t grand
that discussions about the possibility
of German occupation of Greenland
following the Nazi invasion OF Dem
mark had stirred the American
people to think about the Artic is
land, and look up their maps to see
how close it was to the American
continent, and read about its inter-
esting history in encyclopedias.
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized that his
interest In Greenland for the time
being was humanitarian rather than
political.
The view has been expressed in
Congress and elsewhere that Green
land lies close enough to the North
American Continent to be included
In the Monroe Doctrine, under which
the United States has declared that
any changes or extensions OF Euro
pean sovereignty on this hemisphere
would be resisted by this country.
The President said his principal
concern was what might happen to
the 1900 inhabitants Of Greenland
mostly Eskimos, II there should be

President Doubts
Changes Will Reduce
.F.A.A. or C.A.A. Rolls
Reorganization to Bring
Few, if Any, Cuts in
Agencies Personnel

Assurance that there would be few
if any reductions in personnel of the
Federal Alcohol Administration and
the Civil Aeronautics Authority as
they now exist, as result of their
contemplated revised status under
recent reorganization orders. was
given today by President Roosevelt.
BY terms of the third order issued
early this month the F. A. A. is
being abolished as an independent
agency with it's functions coming
under more direct supervision Of the
Treasury Department. A similar
shift for the G. A. A. to bring it from
full independence to inclusion within
the Commerce Department was pro-
vided in the fourth order issued
yesterday.
Asked about the detailed implica-
tions of these particular suggestions
at a press conference today, Presi-
dent Roosevelt replied that in both
cases it was largely a matter of CIV
ing the agencies a cabinet depart
ment to which they would report,

clared that the present personnel

of course, has not been changed,

In the case of the aeronautics
agency, he continued, the presently
existing machinery will remain in
tact. Some top salaries will be elm
mated and the work of the agency
will become a part Of the operation

said.

LONDON, April 12.-Britain today
received the story of what is be-
ieved to have been the only landing
yet made by any British fighting
men on the Norwegian coast.
Returning survivors of Wednes-
days blazing battle at Narvik said
that about so men of the British
destroyer Hardy, which was wrecked
and run aground in that battle,
made landing under fire of the
German shore batteries, apparently
determined to continue the fight.
Eye witnesses aboard the Destroy
ers Hotspur, Hostile and Havock,
which managed to withdraw from
the fight, said their comrades
aboard the Hardy when last seen
were landing with rifles and ammu-
