Shosiakovich Went Over Big. So
Bixel Tries Another Russian
Finds Interesting Background and
Story Concerning Rubinstein

the custom % have entertainments
a. which an inferior orchestra
would sometimes play n overture
70 an Italian opera. someone
would give = reading. an amateur
play might be given. ADDED 20
which a piano solo Was generally
sufficient 20 complete the eve
ninE's program.
SO Il happened that when Ru-
einstsin began 10 give concerts.
his audience seldom numbered =
hundred. To Ruhinstein. then. the
present musical Russia Is Indebted
for he first created ths interest
and he had scumcn enough 70 out
line the course Of is future de-
velopment.
BY way Of bringing these i'm
pressions Up. at least to the time
Of the first World war, one may
add that consevatories. aside
from those At Moscow and Lenin-
grad. were established at Rostov.
Novgorod. Ksssn. and among 9TH
ers at Astrakhan. These are
names that have been In print 20
much Of late.
Also in those days there was
the practical difficulty and former
impossibility Of taking an orches-
ira on tour OF Russia. This was
overcome on at least two notable
occasions in 1910 and 1912. II only
for the immediate volgs territory
from Tver. north Of Moscow. down
the entire length Of the Volgs 10
Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea.
This was made possible by the
wealth and artistic enthusiasm of
the eontrabsss virtuoso. composer
and conductor. Serge Kussewitzky.
who each time chartered one of
the Volga steamers for the trip.
As the party was accompanied
by distinguished and representa-
tive soloists. IT was their privilege
to bring high class symphony to
a number of cities which had had
no previous opportunity Of becom-
ing acquainted with music in
these forms.
But back to Rubinstein. Forty
years ago. Rubinstein's songs were
almost as popular as those of any
Of the great composers. Today,
there are about a half-dozen sung.
and one Of them Ia heard not in
frequently over the radio and by
artists ON the concert stage. II
In his famous The Axra-" Many
people have inquired the meaning
Of the song. When one hears a
master song that has for these
many years never failed TO please
discerning listeners 1t Is worthy
Of special mention.
The Asra" il, In many respects,
song Of charm. II IL rich In his
tory. in legend and imagination.
To understand the song fully
one should know not the words
only but the marvellous back
ground that must have inspired
the poem. As that would require
more space than 10 allotted to
this article, the rest Of the story
will be given next week.

Few Traced TO Chamber.
Recalling q charge by Chairman
Thomas of the Senate Labor Com
mittee that much OF the mail had
been inspired by a letter written by
the United States Chamber of Com
merce suggesting an expression OF
opinion to Congress on labor legis-
lation, Senator Reed said only about
10 Of the letters he had received
could be traced to that source.
On the other hand, Senator Reed
said it was apparent from his mail
that certain union organiza tions
were carrying on a systematic cam
paign against changes in the labor
laws.
"Of perhaps 1000 communica-
tions taking this side Of the ques-
tion," he said, about Is could be
considered as an individual and
spontaneous expression Of the

long-standing offer OF dominion
status after the war still stood.
Sir Stafford will leave India with
his stature unimpaired in India,
since most Indians believed that his
hands were tied by the British cab
met.
This was so in spite of the grow
ing acerbity in correspondence be-
tween Sir Stafford and Azad, which
was released for publication.
In the final letter Azad fatty
charged that "if the British gov
ernment had not pursued a policy
of encouraging disruption all of us,
to whatever party or group we be-
longed, would be able to come to-
gether and find a common line of
action"
Azad Outlines Objection.
In the first letter of ! 2ril 10, Azad
said the proposed interim govern
ment could neither be called a
new government, except vaguely and
inaccurately, nor could it function
as national government. 1t would
just be the viceroy and his execu-
tive council"
Such a set-up would fall short
Of its objective-to make the peo-
pie feel they were defending .their
newly won freedom"-he asid.
He specifically complained that
the office of secretary of state for
India, member of the British cab
met. was not going to be abolished.
To Azad's objections to British
defense control Sir Stafford in re-
ply disclosed that the defense func-
tions of his proposed national In
dian government would include
everything but operation of the gen.
eral headquarters. navy headquar-
tiers and air headquarters of the
commander-in-chief. Gen. Sir Arch
ibald p. Wavell. He listed police
refugees, communications, trans
port, finance, supply. information,
broadcasting. propaganda, civil de-
fenSe and labor for Indian direc-
tion.
AZad was dissatisfied with this
llSC ana SAID, 1t Is clear the Brit
ish governments conception and
ours regarding defense differ great
ly. 1t means trusting our own peo-
pie .. The British govern
ment's view seems to be based on
an utter lack of confidence in the
Indian people and in withholding
real power from them"
Sir Stafford in his broadcast as
serted that the Congress Party had
demanded a degree of control for
the Indian defense member which
might have greatly jeopardized the
Allied war effort in India"
Had Congress Party leaders "felt
themselves able to join with other
leaders who were willing, then in
deed a great work ought to have
been accomplished" he continued.
L am sad that this great oppor-
tunity for rallying India for her de-
fense and her freedom has been
missed, .. Some day, some
how. the great communities and
parties in India will have to agree
upon a method of framing their
new constitution"

last resort Of those who cannot
meet an argument on its merits"
In proposing incentive bonuses
for war workers, Mr.. VinSon Is lin
ing up with Chairman Nelson Of
the War Production Board who also
favors this idea. President Roose-
welt, however, has come out against
1t.
In another development yester-
day, Senator Reed, Republican. Of
Kansas, wrote Chairman Truman Of
the Senate Defense Investigating
Committee urging an immediate in
quiry into charges that a recent
flood of mail to Congress members
demanding labor legislation was in
spired by organized propaganda
Murry Seeks Inquiry.
Philip Murray, president Of the
c. I. o., recently charged that an
organized campaign was being
waged for changes in labor laws
and asked a congressional investi-
cation.
Senator Reed, author Of bills to
outlaw the closed shop in war in
dustries and to suspend the 4o-hour
week, made clear that he thought
an inquiry would show most express
sions on the subject were spon-
taneous.
He said he had received 5000 COM
muhications and added:
of the 5000 letters and tele-
grams about 1000 favor a restate-
ment of our national labor policy.
About 1000 oppose any legislation
on this subject.

achieved in the present crisis for
India's defense"
But Sir Stafford, possibly limiting
at Hindu fear of accepting respon-
sibility in this crisis, said the Con-
gress party's refusal of a COM
promise proposal on direction Of
defense meant that Azad believed
he could not rally the Indian
people.
Sir Stafford announced that 1.-The
