was part OF one OF Une DeSL pro-
grams which Eugene Ormandy, con.
ductor of the Philadelphians, has
presented and the spirit which per-
vaded Mrs. Watson's performance

ing. From the musical angle purely
the finely nodded phrases, the
sharply defined accents and the
dynamic effects we're superbly fash
ioned, yet the emotional direction
was uppermost and in this Mrs
Watson proved herself a pianist of
rich endowment and forceful per-
sonality.
The public. who attended the con-
cert in large numbers, owes debt
of gratitude to her and to Mr..
Ormandy for the hearing of the
MacDowell work. The tremendous
vitality, the nobly woven effects,
sometimes tender and again strongly
virile; the spontaneity of inspira-
ton and the freshness of spirit,
make it a work of singular in
dividuality, one which should be
more frequently in the repertoire of
concert artists. Mr.. Ormandy has
made the local public acquainted
with the work of many native COM
posers of today in his previous pro-
grams and his inclusion of the
concerto by the American who first
attracted attention in Europe to
American creative talent was the
climax of a season of constructive
effort toward appreciation of Ameri-
can composers. Performed with the
sensitive feeling and the sympathy
with its glowing youthfulness which
Mrs. Watson brought to it, its full
worth was excellently revealed.
No greater contrast to the Mac
Dowell concerto would be had than
that offered by the "Sinfonia for
Double Orchestra" by Johann
Christian Bach, which preceded it
and the Cesar Franck symphony
in D minor" the concluding number
of the program. The "Sinfonia,"
by Bach's famous son, is a graceful
and charming work, avoiding any
great search for emotional ex-
preston yet using melody and per-
fection of form with supreme skill
The very personal feeling In the
Franck sypmphony, its mixture of
the mystical and the human. its
brooding moments and great rap
lures, are the souls secrets allied
to music.
In the direction of both of these
works Mr. Ormandy excelled his
former successes. The elegant line
of the "Sinfonia," with its inter-
change of themes between the
divided sections of the orchestra,
was kept intact with mastery
restrain and the purity of its musi-
cal idea upheld with rare insight.
For the Franck symphony, the
forces of the orchestra were re-
leased by Mr.. Ormandy in a most
tmpassioned reading. The surge of
the music was gripping in its in
tensity and Offset by modulations
effected with artistic intuition. Mr..
Ormandy added to the statue and
the emotional depth of the SYM
phony by his Interpretation. Swayed
by the monumental effects, the
audience overwhelmed the con-
ductor with it's expression of ap-
probation.

Newly Created Post
By BLAIR BOLLES.

President Roosevelt today noml-
mated Thomas NJ Wilson, now the
American Consul General in CAL
cutta, to fill the new post of COM
missioner of the United States to
India.
If the Senate approves the nomi-
nation Mr. Wilson will take up his
residence in New Delhi with the
rank of Minister
Mr.. Wilson becomes the first
United States diplomatic repre-
sentative in India. The United
States already has direct diplomatic
relations with Canada, Australia and
South Africa and it is expected
diplomatic representatives will be
exchanged soon with New Zealand.
British Adviser Named.
Mr.. Roosevelt acted after the Brit
iSh government announced in Lon
don that Sir Girja Shankar Bajpa
of the Indian Executive Council in
New Delhi, had been ordered to
Washington as agent general of
India. He will be the adviser on
Indian affairs to the British EN-
baSsy here and hold the rank Of
Minister. He is expected here by
September at the latest.
Mr.. Wilson. who was ordered to
Calcutta June II, 1910. has been in
the foreign service since 1919. He
comes from Tennessee.
Sir Girja attended the Washing
ton Arms Conference in 1921. His
official duties have taken him to
London and to Geneva. In the Ex-
ecutive Council of the viceroy, Lord
Linlithgow, he is member for edu-
cation, health and lands.

If the Japanese carriers, he said,
were able to evade the Navy's outer

been the case-they could then time

siderable accuracy.
The fact that the raid on Pearl
Harbor and nearby Hickman Field
began at 7:55 am, Honolulu time,
might even indicate that the enemy
flyers virtually followed the Army's
dawn patrols back to their bases.
Another well-informed source
suggested that the raiders probably
swept in from the sea at great
height to make their detection diff
cult and then dropped swiftly into
the cloudbanks which almost always
cloak the mountains surrounding
Pearl Harbor When they emerged
from this cloud screen they would
be in a position to dive swiftly on
their target. The dive probably
would not take more than a few
seconds, one authority said.
