 OF FISHING IN COURTS

WRANGELL, Alaska, Aug. 5- The first attempt to test Alaska Indians ancestral fishing rights in court was made here yesterday after the arrest of five natives at Salmon Bay near Prince of Wales Island.
 The men are Louis Paul, Sr, Peter Sing, David Howard, Richard Paul and Louis Paul, Jr Charged with fishing in restricted area, the men asked for a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds that they were being illegally held in that they didn't violate the law, holding that the fishing regulations do not apply to them since the rules vio- late their ancestral fishing rights as members of the Tee -Hit-Ton Tribe.
 U. s. Commissioner R. J. Suratt denied the writ on the grounds that the Government has a right to police the fishing grounds under the authority of conservation.
 The men were released on their own recognition pending hearing in the case. Defense attorney Fred Paul said the case was a test, and would be appealed to the higher court.

 Sub Comes Closer, Fires
 The Jap sub then came closer tc the freighter and Capt. Evenson put the ship into violent maneuvers and kept the stern toward the submarine.
 One shell that was then fired splintered a starboard lifeboat, an- other shell ripped through the wheelhouse and tore a corner off the radio room.
 A third shell knocked down the funnel, carrying away the anten- nae and silencing the radio.
 A fourth shell passed between the captain and the first mate on the starboard bridge wing, then d di- rect hit disabled the rudder control and set the stern afire.

 Flames quickly spread and en- veloped the entire ship.
 Capt. Evenson ordered all hands to the life boats or life rafts and the survivors cast off from the flaming craft.
 The Jap sub machine gunned the survivors and then disappeared.
 Before the radio was put out of business, the radio operator had sent word of the attack and re- ported the ships position.
 The next morning, according to the survivors, a Navy plane flew over them without seeing them After several days rescue craft fin ally sighted the survivors and took them to hospital in Alaska where they were then transferred to a steamer and brought to Seattle.

Native Music
Recital

The Washington College of Music
presented William Holden, pianist.
in faculty recital yesterday after
noon at the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery. Mr.. Holden played an entire
program of American music, COM
prehensive in its scope and inter-
preted with the taste and convincing
style which characterize all of his
extensive repertoire.
The first group embracing the
nostalgia beauty of the music of
the American Negro consisted of
five songs set by Blair Fairchild
OF Boston. Mr.. Fairchild, after serv-
ice in the diplomatic corps, settled
In Paris. where he wrote music, not
pretentious, but of a deep sincerity.
The Piano Variations" by Aaron
COPELAND. which followed, are a rep
resentation of the present machine
age, employing bold dissonances
which have the strength and some
times the hardness of steel. set
forth with great rhythmic intricacy.
Mr.. Holden played the work with
meticulous attention to the details
and with fine understanding.
Edward MacDowell, the first
American to speak consistently a
musical speech that was definitely
his own, attempts in the Morse
Sonata'-the most significant work
OF the afternoon-to free himself
from the restrictions Of form. The
sympathy which Mr.. Holden dis
played in this Interpretation brought
out the extended span of the phrases
and the epic breadth OF nobility
and dignity which Mcdowell wrote
into the music.
Turning his attention to smaller
compositions there was heard the
Lake at Evening" by Critics (who
died while very young; THE Tides
OF Manaunaun," by the contempo-
rary Henry Cowell, and three
preludes by George Gershwin.
Mr.. Cowell. who defies musical
precedents, has gained recognition
for the validity of his aesthetic
viewpoint. and his use Of new musi-
cal resources was dramatically por-
trayed by Mr.. Holden. The Gersh-
win preludes were arrestingly lovely.
While Gershwin represented a
phase Of American musical interest
less serious than others, his work
contained promise of Importance
which might have Powered had not
his untimely death intervened.
Encores included a novelette, by
MacDowell, a scherzo by Critics
and improvisation in Several
Keys" by Walter Gross. Mr.. Holden
deserves high commentator for his
service to the cause of American
music In planning a program of
such interest and musical worth.
The content of his program was
of unexpected timeliness since the
pianist has been called to military
service and is leaving in 10 days
for induction into the Army. leaving
a reputat ton as an outstanding mu-
sician of Washington. This was the
eighth annual program he has
played In the city and the repertoire
included in these programs amount
ed to some 80 compositions Of
significant piano literature. S. A.

By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Yehudi Menuhin, one of the young
est of the coterie of famed violin
lists, yet at the same time a veteran
in their ranks. returned to Consti-
tuition Hall yesterday afternoon for
his annual appearance. With an
unassailable artistic reputation al
ready established in his prodigy
years, he has embarked now on that
interesting experience of making
his personality and its relation to
his art more important than the
snowy display of his first public bid
for fame. That he has an enthusi-
astic following here as elsewhere
was confirmed by the large audi
ence attending yesterdays concert
and their hearty welcome.
Be it said at once that Mr. Menu
hin played superbly taxing pro-
gram that brought his brilliant gifts
constantly to the fore. But it was
not that alone that made his con-
cert of absorbing interest. 1t was,
rather. the close amalgamation of
musical insight and technical mas
terry that made each dependent
upon and unified to the other. In
many OF the great technicians of
the instrument, flXation on their
mechanical powers is almost ines
capable, with now and then a dis
traction in the discovery of deeper
musical idea. But with Mr.. Menu
hin the two 60 side by side to the
greater end of an all-round finished
performance.
Test of Musicianship.
The path in musical perfection
which Mr.. Menuhin trods uniquely
is the ability to use his superb surety
and authority in matters of bowling
and finger deXterity imperceptibly.
He had as his tour de force the
original Paganini Concerto il D
major" with the formidable Sauret
cadenza. Kreisler has made a more
appealing work of his arrangement
of the concerto but the fact re-
mains that the original is the test
of virtuoSity as we'll as musician
ship.
Mr. Menuhin played the intricate
passages brilliantly with unshake-
able assurance in his fleet delivery.
But he made music of this show
piece, taking every opportunity to
bring to the fore his rounded. beau
tiful tone and making the cantabile
interludes poetic in their signifl-
canoe Even in the cadenZa. which
demands the utmost from the player,
yet is not particularly rewarding as
a composition, he managed to bring
color with his interpretive feeling.
For once the merits of the Paga-
mini concerto as something more
than a technical vehicle could be
appreciated.
Divergent Material.
The two sonatas included in the
program, Beethoven's mo. 1 in D
major, op. II, No. 1" and the De-
busy Sonata in G minor" pro-
vided widely divergent material for
a musician of Mr.. Menuhin's seri-
BUSINESS. The direct, natural quality
of this early essay of Beethoven in
the sonata form with its freshness
and gaiety were outlined with artis-

tic simplicity while the sophistry
and elusiveness of Debussy were
painted in mastery manner by the
subtle use of expressive tonal color
In fact. the Debussy sonata might
be considered the high spot of the
program in which the union of Mr..
Menuhin's thoughtful mentality and
technical resources found supreme
outlet.
The very charming and seldom
heard Hungarian Dance No. in F
major" by Brahms opened the final
group which consisted of two other
works in the same character, the
Brahms-Joachim Hungarian Dance
No. 4" and Ravels concert rhapsody,
'Tzigane." The temperamental read
ing of these three compositions beau
titled by warmth of tone, ended the
concert with the audience wildly
applauding. Encores, varied as to
mood, but of popular appeal pro-
longed the program until the lights
were dimmed in the hall.
Throughout, the finely balanced
accomplishments Of AdolDh Baller
always attuned to the artists nu-
ances. added considerably to the
success of the recital.
