first greeting, mounted in degrees
of appreciation with each number.
His directing revealed a new per-
sonality both as musical interpreter
and in the mechanics of his art.
Discarding the baton for the most
part he uses his hands as a pres
tidigitator and with lightning move
ments conjures forth music of eX-
quisite refinement and polish. The
genuineness of his musical interest
is felt in a personal modesty that
seemed reluctant to accept applause
yet which sprang to instant concen-
tration when the moment for dis
closing the meaning of the music
arrived.
Not note or phrase but has an
intimate message to the conductor
and his desire to make it clear was
evident constantly. He had for his
major works two symphonies,
Haydn's No SO in D major and the
Jupiter" by Mozart, both SYM
phonies and composers closely allied
and influencing each other The
British conductor has made these
works his own and played them yes
terday with reverence and affection.
A master of style, his reading was
exceptionally clear and finely nu-
anced.
The absorbing manner in which
measure for measure was drained of
every ounce of beauty it could give
characterized the performance of
each work Yet in some respects the
finely detailed playing. with its en-
phasis on each expressive possibility,
operated against a picture of the
whole. There were few decided con-
trasts and some exception could be
taken with the monotony of the

tempt, which rarely aimed at great
climaxes. While another side of
both Haydn and Mozart might be
felt by others, what Sir Thomas Wis
ualized was a revelation of delicacy,
of fine sentiment and of charm ex-
pressed by means that only deep
student and a musician of excep-
tional refinement could essay.
So greatly in sympathy with the
conductors approach to this music
was last nights audience that the
final notes of the Mozart symphony
had not yet ceased to sound when
storm of applause broke forth. This
characterized the response to his
directing throughout the program
and to the genial attitude Of Sir
Thomas, who managed to create
friendly atmosphere linking himself,
the orchestra musicians and the
audience together in an informal
way.
Apart from the appearance of the
great conductor, the concert was
distinguished by the world premiere
of Courtlandt Palmer's Concerto in
c Major" for piano and orchestra.
The American composer was also the
soloist in this performance, winning
an ovation for his playing and for
his composition.
In these days of ultramodern
harmonieS, such a work as Palmer's
concerto is grateful relief Abound
ing in melody, it is highly poetic in
concept that involves both the or
chestra and the solo instrument in a
richly harmonized counterplay Mr..
Palmer's writing is fluent and in
spired and while he finds his great
est expression through the orchestra,
the piano is exploited to the fullest.
The lovely melody given the orches-
ira in the beginning sets the ro-
mantle mood which progresses in a
continual song. interrupted briefly in
the third movement, to a paean Of
religious breadth and quality in the
finale.
Mr.. Palmer's playing not only kept
the lyricism of his work intact. but
blended it with the orchestra to
remarkable degree. Sir Thomas
gave the soloist a well-balanced
emotional background in his direct
ing. but took none of the credit,
leaving the very sincere appreciation
OF the audience to be received by
Mr.. Palmer alone.

BOARD STUDYING
 WAGE INCREASES
City Employees Seeking 2O9o Raise; Increase in
 Tax Rate Feared

Study of requests for increases by heads of major city departments was to be begun by the board of finance at a meeting late this after noon. Up to row, the board, during its several weeks of budget work, has devoted itself to non-contro- versial items and to minor depart- mental appropriations.
 The question of pay raises for city employees is the most difficult one facing the board as 1t goes into the major phases of budget preparation. Increases of 20 per cent have been asked by employees of several large departments. City officials have cortended that even a general 10 per cent increase would force an in- crease in the tax rate.
 One settlement of the wage ques- tion which the board will consider is that of Budget Director Thorvald E. Olsen. He has prepared a clas- sification, which lists all city em- ployes according to the type of job they perform ard proposes a stand ard pay for each classification. This plan would work principally for the benefit of those in the lower pay brackets.
 Another suggestion has been a temporary bonus for all city em- ployes, to be effective only during the period of emergency. Even this, some board members say, will ne- ceasltate a jump in the present 31- mill tax rate.
