BY CHARLES GENTRY

ANN ARBOR, May 9-Scaling
sublime heights. the Philadelphia
Orchestra. augmented by the Uni

than 200 voices. gave remark
able performance Of the magnif-
cent Brahms Requiem as the
highlight Of the second concert Of
the forty-eighth annual May Fes-
rival here in packed Hill Audi
forum last night.
Despite the mournful nature Of
it's title, tins imposing work Is Of
such an inspired nature that II
gives promise of a fulfllment Of
life in death, rather than merely
carrying out the funereal aspects
of ordinary memorials of this ma
ture. II is one Of the great choral
works Of all musical literature and
demands eXacting care IN its in
depreciation.
Such detailed thought and study
has the choir'S director. young
Thor Johnson, given his fine
group that they sang with some
thing akin to devotion last night
and their voices. together with
this superb orchestra, made a pro-
found impression on the 5000
listeners.

TUO Solo Voices

Two sections of the original
published work were deleted from
last nights rendition so that it
could be performed as a regular
concert offering, but enough re-
manned TO present briefly, two
solo voices. Jarmila Novotna, cele-
brated Czech soprano, sang the
fourth section, an exquisite elegy
which Brahms added after the
death of his stepmother, to whom
he was devoted.
Norman Gordon, leading bass
baritone of the Met, joined the
chorus in the Stupendous finale,
and distinguished himself with his
reading of those dramatic pages
while chorus and orchestra swelled
around him in a passionate fugal
climax.
Equally as moving is the second

Although this is generally con-

In any case. Pitigorsky made

His tone was of such a mystical
beauty that it even overshadowed

Gen. Berenschot described a new
defense system whereby infantry
units will be stationed in outer
Islands to protect auxiliary naval
bases there. Formerly it was be-
lieved the Indies army would make
a concerted stand only in Java and
Sumatra If attacked.
The new program scraps that plan,
enlarging the defensibility of each
larger island from Borneo to New

I'VE never intended to surrender
any islands however distant" Gen.
Berenschot said, but actual defense
formerly was impossible with the
forces available. The new system
provides adequate protection of the
