armed all civilians. Possession of
arms was punishable by the firing
squad. But from all sorts of hid
ing places arms appeared. One
might have suspected an organized
plot. All sorts of persons appeared
in the ranks of the civilian revolu-
tlonists but the most important
single element, say officers in
position to observe, were the ragged,
grimy 'scugnizzi"
From somewhere, probably
secret Italian cache, they had come
into possession of lot of "Molotov
cocktails" with which they wrought
great havoc among tanks the Ger
mans were trying to get out of
Naples. There were several hun
dred of these urchins. Their preda-
tory gang organization stood them
in good stead and-the different
gangs temporarily uniting in a
common cause-they gave the ap-
pearance of operating as a delib-
erately organized group.
Some of these boys performed
outstanding acts of heroism. Among
these was the 14-year- r-old urchin
who deliberately jumped on top OF
a German tank and dropped a bomb
into it. The tank was wrecked and
the crew killed. The lad was cap
tured few minutes later and lined
up before the firing squad. But
his heroism had aroused the admir-
alton even of the man who was to
direct his execution, the man who
patted him on the head before CIV
ing orders for his men to fire.
Not all the revolutionists, OF
course, were street urchins. All sorts

Pro-Musica Quartet
Presents Novelty
d. ENA IL GAVIN
BY ELENA de SAYN.

The Pro-Musica String Quartet of
the Washington Chamber Music
Society chose to present at the
Phillips Gallery yesterday afternoon
three contrasting compositions, OF
which Kodaly's "Trio-S erenade in
F Major op. IL" for two violins and
viola proved to be an interesting
novelty
A famous collector Of Hungarian
folk melodies, kodaly occupies a
prominent place in the world of
music today and is considered to be
one Of the foremost modern expo
nents of his native art. His trio
serenade, as the title implies. is a
piece of romantic nature, with the
viola holding something of dis
course with the first violin Persua-
sive melodies run alternatively be-
tween the two instruments while
the second violin is mostly used as
an accompanying medium.
To make contents of such a work
ineligible to the listener, the use
of a new technique on the part of
the players is necessary. The flow
ing or graceful style. as applied to
Mozart or Ravel should be replaced
by holder design and greater free
dom of execution. In yesterdays
presentation of the work there was
nothing to suggest the coquette, i'm
personated by the violin, or the
ardent beau, announced by George
Wargo, violist of the organization,
in his Introductory comment on the
composition.
The musical language of the trio
serenade is unusually expressive and
smooth, free from harsh dissonances
such as We associate with contem-
porary works. Kodaly balances his
tcnalities expertly. using them to
express underlying ideas rather
than indulging in melodic ara
besques without special objective
The last movement OF the number is
gay village dance, in rhythm and
style disassociated from the typically
Hungarian.
The players were happier in their
delivery of Mozart's Zine Kleine
Nachtmusic. which served as a
pleasing prelude to Kodaly's opus,
while Ravels famous quartet in
the same key of r Major" gave
Owen Lusak and Jeno Sevely, vio--
Inns; Mr.. Wargo, viola, and Joseph
Coppin. cello, another opportunity
to show their intelligent use of tonal
resources.

to kick their beaten allies back to
an unwelcome partnership with

announced the death penalty for

It indicated that the Nazis expect
to encounter opposition there.
Reports Picture Chaos.
A variety of accounts from neu-

as part OF the chaos in Italy:
/. No food received for days In
Rome. No normal activity resumed
in the city for more than a week
after it had gone under Nazi pro
lection" The Germans are being
compelled to bring in still more
troops. ,-.s-.-

virtually cut off from the outer
world by NaN troops. Pope Plus

protested his status as virtual pris-

people in general. The same dis
patches reported that the Holy Fa-

German commander, Field Marshal

that the Germans must first evacu-
ate Rome and thus make good Hit

remain outside the city. The Ger
