It comes in an album of six 12-inch records, the last side of which is devoted to the menuetto from Haydn's quartet No. 83 in B fiat major.
 Columbia also offers Schubert's Sonatina No. 1 in D major, Op. 37, No. l, for violin and piano. played by Joseph Szigeti and Andor Foldes. It ies a brief and charming work, played with his customary distinc- tion by one of the top violinists in this type of music, ably abetted by Foldes. The playing takes up three sides of two 12-inch records, the fourth being devoted to the rondo from Schubert's piano sonata in D major.
 VICTOR is out this month with a
 ' genuine record collectors treas ure in the form of an album of op- cratic recordings by Enrico CaruSo and other bygone stars of the Metropolitan's golden age" era, some dead, some still living. These selections were immortalized in wax for future generations to enjoy between 1908 and 1919 the earliest of them thus dating back B years
 In view of the limited technical advancement of recording in those days, 1t is astonishing how satis- factory these new pressings sound on a modern photograph. It is partly because the voice could be reproduced well long before instru- mental ensembles could be cap tured properly. In this instance, 1t is the voice that matters. Besides Caruso, the singers heard are Tetrazzini, Farrar, Hempel, Sembrich, Homer, Aida, Gina Via fora, Journet, Scotti, Amato, Ro- thier and de Segurolo. The num- bers include such favorites as the sextet from Lucia the "Rigo- letto' quartet, goodnight quartet from Martha" trio from Faust" etc.
 JOSEPH SCHUSTER will perform J Franz Schubert's rarely heard and only cello work, in its orches- tral form, as soloist with the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Or chestra on December 25 and 26. The work was last heard in New York in 1888 by the same orchestra and Soloist.
 Schubert originally wrote it as a sonata for piano and the now obso- lete instrument known as the ar peggione, small six-stringed cello tuned like a guitar. The transcrip- tion in its present form was made by Gaspar Cassado. the Spanish 'cellist, who found it in the Vienna Musk -Verein library.

Tine young American baritone is the first singer of the Metropoli- tan Opera Company to go overseas for USO-CAAfP Shows. With him was Edwin McArthur. American conductor. who accompanied him on an accordion and worked with him in organizing mass singing among the soldiers.
 They gave more than 200 con- certs, being sent by plane. jeep and boat on orders of General Douglas MacArthur ito every place in the southwest Pacific where there are American tropoS." They appeared in auditoriums in the bigger camps and under thatched roofs in the jungles where there were men who had not even seen a movie for months. Once Hatfield had an au- dience of one in an Army hospital, a dying man who asked for Ave Maria"
 Few American radio programs reach the soldiers. Hatfield said, reporting that a favorite program is one from Tokyo. The soldiers laugh at the propaganda delivered by renegate Americans, but eat up the music and entertainment which is shrewdly provided.
 Hatfield, who. like McArthur, gave up extensive concert engage ments in this country for the USO trip, is making a curtailed concert tour this month before resuming with the Metropolitan.
 MUSIC 1t is reported, has been 1'A recognized by defense plants all over the country as one of the best moral builders and many aviation and other plants have or chestras, choral societies, bands and dance groups.
 Some of the organizations set high musical standards. A case in point is the employees symphony orchestra of the Sperry Gyroscope Company in Brooklyn, which on December Is is giving 8 concert at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with Albert Spalding, noted violin ist, as guest soloist.
 The orchestra is composed en- tirely of the companys workers. Many of them are professional mu- sicians who have given up their careers for the duration to help in defense work. Others are talented amateurs. The conductor is Maurel Hunk1nS, graduate of the music department of the University of California, who was also conductor of New York Universitys band and orchestra.
 EUGENE ORMANDY and the H Philadelphia Orchestra are presenting an all-American pro- gram at Carnegie Hall on December IA in their fourth New York concert of the season. Oscar Levant will be piano soloist in his own one-move- ment Concerto for Piano and Orchestra" and in George Gersh- wins Rhapsody in Blue" Also on the program will be the first con- cert performance of Robert Russell Bennett's symphony, 'The Four Freedoms"
 A RECORDING by the Busch "A Quartet of Beethoven,s Quar- tet No. 2 in F major, Op. 59, known as the "Rasoumovsky No. l." Is a major item on Columbia's Novem- ber-December list. It would be im- possible for this noted ensemble to turn in anything but 8 first-rate performance of chamber music, and its ability to interpret eBetho- ven is admirably reflected in this scholarly and appealing recording.

The question to which the Allies
must find tie ansWe at Moscow
is what kind of armistice do we
intend to give the Germans when
they surrender. The answer to
this question is the key to the flu
ture of Europe and of the grand
alliance of the United N t / n s
throughout the world. If we agree
on a righteous and workable policy
for Germany, we shall be able to
face all the other questions of the
settlement with confidence. Ii we
disagree on Germany, we shall be-
come hopelessly divided every
where.
In regard to the German arml-
stice the critical point is, l SUBJ
NIT, whether, and if yes, then for
how long a time and in what way,
the Allies mean to occupy ana
govern Germany with their armies.
Disarmament, the punishment OF
war criminals, the liquidation OF
the Nazi party and of the military
caste and of German economic I'M
perialism, Preparations - will have
to be enforced. The question is
whether it is desirable and neces-
sary to enforce our terms by occu-
plying and governing Germany for
considerable period Of time. In
other words, must we and should
we govern Germany in order to

FDR Tells Congress
That Filipinos Haze
Won Way To Liberty

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. -R-
President Roosevelt told Congress
today that the Filipinos, by then
heroism and loyalty, had won the
right to complete freedom and
natlonhood" and asked authority
70 proclaim the independence OF
the islands as soon as feasible.
In special message to the le-
glslators, the president also asked
that Congress provide for econ
omic rehabilitation of the Philip
pines once the Japanese are driv-
en- from them, and made these
two other requests:
l. That he be empowered to en-
ter into immediate negotiations
with President Manuel Quezon OF
the Philippine Commonwealth to
provide for full security for the
Philippines, for the mutual protec-
ton of the islands and of the
United States, and for the future
maintenance of peace in the Paci-
fic."
2. That Congress provide for
determining the adjustment ne
cessary in the existing provisions
of law which govern economic re-
lations between the United States
and the Philippines, so as to assist
in making the Philippines, as an
independent nation, economically
secure wherever possible"

the Chieti anchor of that line.
The Allied crossing of the Vol.
turno means deploynent into the
plains of the Volturno along the
coast and access to the two main
highways to Rome from Naples.
They fork just beyond the main
Volturno road crossing at Capua.
The west branch, the ancient Via
Appia of classical times moderniz-
ed for modern motor traffic, runs
up the coastal flank of Mount Lepi-
nj through the once dreaded Pom
tine marshes. The east fork pass
es inshore of the Leipini hump up
the valley of the Sacco. These two
roads and the Chieti trans-penin-
sular toward which h e Eighth
Army is surging, are the main
road connections south and east
from Rome and necessarily must
largely groove the Allied attack.
1t seems obvious thai it was the
fast-paced Eighth Army leap-frog
advance on the Adriatic flank Of
the Allied line that forced Nazi
retreat from the Volturno as the
seizure of Foggia had previously

Mixing praise Of shipbuilding
achievements with criticism OF
what it reported as failure in some
cases to utilize all available cargo

urged that all shipping operations
be placed under the control of the
War Shipping Administration.
At present, the report explained,
less than half of the 5000, 900 tons
of dry-cargo shipping tonnage is
administered by the War Shipping
Administration, with the remainder
under control of the Army, Navy
and several other agencies. 1t add
