story that he had been held cap
tive for 40 hours in the trunk

Pekarovic's story was so fantas-
tic that officers at first refused 10
believe him and remained skepti-
cal until the story of victims Of

lated incidents which tailed with

bIe," said Pekarovic. IL was so
cramped / could hardly move
my legs and was afraid
would suffocate. They drove
around for more than 400 miles

out once To stretch and get a

He was released Sunday after
noon. He at first told police he
had been kidnapped after attending
a movie. Police checked and
found he had not attended the
movie.
81 really went to a place and
bought some policy information,
but was afraid to tell police
about IL. That's why I made up
the story about going to the
movie"
Pekarovic's story that he over
heard his captors talking with a
white man in the car led detec-
tives TO check his story with that
of the victims of the other rob-
berry and kidnapping.
They were Jewell Webb, %, and

Idustriously cleaning the bark of

larvae or fat grubs. Starting at
the top of the tree, the nuthatch

hatch goes back to the top and
comes down again on a path that

the exploring is done in a right

You can easily make friends with

friendly and quiet, the nuthatch
will permit you to approach, gazing
intently at you with its bright, black
eyes, as if trying to read your mind
Not having a sharp, strong bill
with which to break the soft shell
of either acorn or large seeds, the
nuthatch is clever in forcing these
nuts into crevices in the bark of a
tree, so that it can get to the kernels

Ry ALICE EXERSMAN.

A delightful program consisting OF
numbers popular with its patrons
was given yesterday afternoon by
the National Symphony Orchestra
under DR.. Hans Kindler's direction
at Constitution Hall The reason
for the choice of compositions was
the finishing of the Beloved Mas
terpieces" series, which has proved
so attractive to the audiences. These
concerts are a splendid idea, as the
purely symphonic nature of the pro-
grams without Sololst af1oros
greater opportunity for becoming
better acquainted with the orches-
tral masterpieces.
For instance, Bach's deeply re-
ligious choral prelude, "FerVent is
MY Longing" has not been played
by the symphony for some time, ana
even the well-known Come, Sweet
Death" has not been heard from
this orchestra very recently. These
two magnificent works were the
first programmed yesterday.
Although the preludes are gen.
eral favoriteS with all orcheStraS,
there are few that can play them
as does the National Symphony, in
spired by DR.. Kindler'S interpretive
conception. Often in the hands OF
less discerning conductor they be-
come rather detached because Of the
grandeur and austerity that alone
is stressed. But as DR.. Kinder
visualizes them, their grandeur ana
nobility are made more accessible
to the average listener by the ten
derness and warmth he gives them.
They are human expressions OF deep
religious faith and beautihed by
this human element.
Two symphonies were listed, the
Paris" Symphony by Mozart and
the symphony No. in F Minor,
by TschaikoWSky. The charming
symphony which Mozart wrote dur
ing that tragic sojourn in the French
capital, which was to bring the loss
of his mother, bears another IN
fiuence mixed with the true Mozart
style. 1t may be that the effort to
attract the attention of the Paris
ians with work written In the vein
they liked best gives 1t q more
cosmopolitan character than other
of his symphonic compositions. From
the first time DR.. Kinder played 1t
here it had a special appeal, and
Yesterday the finely detailed per-
formance of the orchestra won 1t
a still frmer place in the esteem OF
the audience.
Understanding Performance.
As for the Tschaikowsky work It
Is not likely to receive more un-
derstanding performance than that
given II yesterday. In the full
blooded and spacious manner in
which the first movement was played
and the exactness with which the
passing moods Of the other move
mentS were clmaxed In the finale,
the orchestra was superb. DR.. Kind
lers fair for the dramatic guided
the development into the splendid
toyousness Of the symphOny's end

the change In mood Of the second
and third movement. The latter was
