THREE FORMER CZECH
GENERALS LOSE LIVES
Today Third Anniversary of
Munich; Royal Airmen
Over Germany

The Germans announced today
exactly three years after the doom
OF Czechoslovakia was sealed at
Munich-that firing squads had
shot down - Czechs in the latest
of a frightening series of actions
against subject people who plotted
TO throw off the German rule.
The executions came sometime
within AS hours after declaration
of a state of civil emergency in six
populous districts of the Bohemia
Horavia protectorate by the new
Reichs protector, Reinhard Heyd-
rich.
The Germans said three former
Czech generals were among those
shot and named them as leading
men in the opposition group which
had as its goal the re-establish-
ment OF an independent Czech
state"
1t was three years ago early this
morning that the political heads
of Germany. Britain, France, and
Italy signed the Munich agreement
permitting Germany to occupy grad
ually parts of Czecho-Slovakia' S
Sudeten areas.
The anniversary of Munich 49,
from which British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain returned with
the proud boast OF Peace with
honor peace for our time
found the German legions deep in
Russia and admittedly facing the
rigors Of a Russian winter cam
paign.

British air force over German ter
ritory after its most energetic
raids of the war against Hitler's

More than 1000 men, wearing
tattered civilian garments, shivered

all these men there was but one

Producing young artists at the series,
its first venture in concert giving,
which Is being presented at Ward
man Park Theater. Last evening q
trio of young women gave the pro-
gram with the assistance of Martin
A. DoWd, pianist of this city. The
BeauX Arts Trio, the ensemble name
of the artists, consists of Edith
Schiller, pianist; Miss Sebrianski,
Vlollnlst, and Virginia Peterson,
cellist. Miss SebrianSki replaced
Eunice Shapiro, who was long asso-
ciated with the group. In making
the announcement of the change in
personnel, Miss Peterson said that
Miss Sebrianski was the winner of
the Naumburg Foundation Award,
which gave her New York debut.
The three musicians are excel
lently matched in the quality of
their talent and in their artistic
sincerity. Miss Schiller has a light
facility at the keyboard which can
attain brllliancy when needed, while
Miss Peterson's cello tone is unusu-
ally mellow and rich. Miss Sebrian-
ski draws large, resonant tone from
her violin and has grace as we'll as
depth to her playing In the de-
lightful elegance of Mozart's Trio in

delSsohn Trio, the extent of their
musical endowment was fully re-
vealed as being comprehensive and
thorough. In addition, they bring
a youthful Zest and a tempera-
mental elan to their playing which
is, however, under the restraint of
artistic control. Their success was
an immediate one.
Mr.. Dowd's playing Of LISTS
"Etude in D Flat" Debussv's Re

Rhapsody in C Major" was en-
Enthusiastically received and two
encores had to be added. Gifted
with particularly Impid tone and
a fluent technique that maintains
its delicacy and buoyancy even in
bravura passages, he played the con-
trasting numbers with insight into
their essentials and their musical
values. Mr.. Dowd should be heard
more often in public as his success
of last evening indicated.
The program finished with two
numbers by the trio. the Schubert
ListZ "Serenade" and Frank Bridges
"Salterello." The audience was a
large one and, in an appreciative
mood, gave a hearty welcome to the
performers.
