MUSIC BY BACH
 HEADS PROGRAM
Fourth of "Learning-tO- Listen" Series to Be Held
 at Library Tonight

The fourth class in the new be- ginners' 'Learning-to-Listen" music series will meet this evening at 7:15 in the music room of the Bronson Library. Walden TriInble and Miss 'Paulette Wolozin, collaborators of the course, urge all interested in tracing the growth of music from the great master of all, Johann Se- bastian Bach, to present day com posers, to attend this evenings class, at which time, Bach'S great Pas sacaglia in c Minor" will be played by Leopold Stokowsh and the Phi1- adelphia orchestra.
 The "Passacaglia" written for the organ, has been transcribed by Dr. Leopold Stokowski, a master organ ist himself, for the modern sym phony orchestra. In the work, he colors and expresses the greatness of Bach's genius, as Bach himself would have done, had he had the resources of the symphony orcheS- tra of today. Dr. Stokowskd has the following to say concerning the work:
 '"The most free and sublime in- strumental expressions of Bach are his greater organ works, and of these the greatest is the "Passacag- lia in c Minor" Unfortunately one does not often enough have the opportunity to hear it, and so, to bring it nearer to those who love Mach's music, I have made it for orchestra.
 The program will open with Franz Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody. The class will review rhythm and key tonalities of music and will continue with their study of the tonal system. Tomorrow evening an unusually in- teresting Pops" concert has been planned. Jan Sibelius' Fifth Sym phony will be played, in honor of that composers 18th birthday. Si- beliuS is considered by many the greatest living composer and his music is full of beautiful melody, harmony and feeling.
 The public is cordially invited to attend both of the aforementioned musical activities, through the CO., operation of the Bronson library and the WPA adult education depart 1nent of Waterbury.

SEAL SALES NET
 Ss,6OO TO DATE
$6,OOO Goal Expected to Be Reached, Using Early
 Returns as Criterion

The annual Christmas seal sale sponsored by the Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis League reached $S,60O, it was reported by Miss Anna G. Murphy, league nurse.
 As 13 days remains in which to further the sale of seals, Miss Mur- phy expressed hope of surpaSSing the goal of $6,000 set by the local league which is needed to carry on the work of combating tuberculosis in the city next year.
 Stressing the fact of many old contributors dropping from the list as subscribers, Miss Murphy eX- plained replacements must fill the ranks with new names to maintain the contributions at previous levels
 Every year some 300 to $50 pre- vious contributors drop out because of financial status, and new names must be added to the list to fill the gap. Signs point that at the rate the contributions are coming ill, the Christmas seals campaign may eX- ceed the quota set for the local branch.

War Moves On
 Today's Board
By J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert)


 Herr Hitler'S speech today before German factory workers was a de- fensive utterance, showing the strain of war. It was much less truculent than his usual declamations and lacked the usual Nazi note of su- preme confidence.
 For the first time, the Fuehrer ex- plained why the war has not ended with the rapidity which the German people were led to expect. He told the factory hands that 1t = Better to wait for the right time to strike and so prevent sacrifices.
 Previously, however, Herr Hitler had indicated the offensive was wholly in German possession and the right time was the Fuehrer's to command. Now, sacrifice must be avoided, although hitherto Herr Hit Ter had indicated repeatedly that the highest honor for: German was to make sacrifice for the fatherland. Fuehrer Sensitive The Fuehrer always has been Sen- sitive to popular psychology. His SlAi iEIllSlSAo O1L p1lC 1lCSCooAGJ 1O4 dNOl0- ing sacrifice, even at the cost of los ing prestige. may be based on a changed feeling in Germany after Is months of war with no end in sight.
 Herr Hitler also defended himself against charges of having ordered l too much ammunition manufactured. This is the first intimation that such | accusations have been made in Ger many, probably because manpower ip munitions factories might have been used more advantageously else where, keeping down war costs.
 British government authorities stated this autumn that Germany had four times the British reserves of war material. This enormous supply is not being used. The Ger man army is idle and its inactivity may well have become associated in the minds of Germans with the great piles of shells and huge num- bers Of guns. unemployed month af- ter month by the military stalemate. Defends Himself AIc T ucincI, lOO, ueI6nQ6Q tllIn- self against charges that he has an inferiority complex. Since he was talking to the German people. it must be presumed he has heard such reports are circulating within Ger many. It is significant of his sensi- tivenesS to criticism that he should have raised this delicate question in public speech.
 It has been the policy of the Ger man authorities to conceal as far as possible their resentments against America. In today's speech, however, Hitler allowed a peep behind the veil. He accused Americans equally with the British for differentiating be- tween have" and have not" na- tions. Then he added that the "have nots" would know how to get their rights.
 The Fuehrer accused the democ- racies of having & low standard Of living. But, it is one of the most im- portant facts Of the war that the German living standard is much be- low the British, permitting a wider leeway for rationing in Great Brl- tain.
