ionlng. the term Midwest was
used 10 include the Midsouth
states, where Midwest regula
tons apply.
OPA also announced new
plans 10 crack down on the leak
age of gasoline to the black mar
ket, which officials described
as now the biggest racket in
the United States.
in January BoWles said,
when we should have been saw
ing gasoline to cushion us
against the accelerated demand
to come, we used practically all
that was allotted to us. In Feb
ruary and so far in March we
have been using up even more
than the quotas set by the petro-
leum administrator for war. In
the next three months, spring
planting and other seasonal
needs will raise consumption
sharply, probably as much as 18
or 20 per cent, judging from last
years experience"
DRASTIC SITUATION
Bowles said 1.-The situation
must be faced quickly and hon
estly," adding: there is no pres
ent alternative but to cut rations
sufficiently to bring consump-
ton within civilian quotas
The "A" ration revision means
that when ALL coupons be-
come valid March % for all Sec
tons of the country except the
Atlantic Seaboard (now in a diff
ferent series), they will have
TO last three months instead of
two, the equivalent to two gal
Ions week for unrestricted
family driving.
Along with the reduction,
OPA will terminate the require
ment that 80 miles a month of
occupational mileage be taken
out of the "A" ration before the
motorist becomes eligible for a
supplemental OBJ or &C" ration.
Motorists in the middle-of-
the-country states holding "B"
ration and meeting requirements
on car pooling may apply to To-
cal rationing boards for coupons
to make up gasoline lost through
the cut in the "A" ration. They
will be issued b. coupons al
lowing up to AIS miles month
Of driving. an adjustment in the
"B" ceiling from 460 miles a
month. This was necessary, OPA
said, since "B" rations are is
sued each three months in cou-
pons worth five gallons each and
representing rs miles of driv-
ing.
In holding East coast rations
at present levels, Bowles said:
THE "A rations in the East
have already been reduced to
what seems a bare minimum for
family needs, and b and c.
rations have been closely tail
ored by local boards"

Music
Starlight Series
To Be Resumed
End of Tune

The Starlight Chamber Music
Concerts will start on June 81 in
Meridian Hill Park, when the fourth
series Of these unique musical
events will be launched, it is an
nounced by G. G. Cappel, founder
and manager of this now famous
course Of outdoor chamber music
concerts.
Inaugurated at the lower end of
Meridian Hill Park, where the nat
ural setting provides an ideal audi
torium, set off by tall hedges and
artistic masonry around the pool
and the piazza, these concerts sup
piled an increasing demand for high
class music and made popular the
magnificent outdoor salon. BY bring
ing famous chamber music players
here during the summer, Mr.. Cappel
has accomplished what was thought
at the time impossible-the presen-
tation of chamber music in the open
air. This series will be given on
Wednesdays over a period Of eight
weeks.
The opening concert this year will
be played by the Coolidge String
Quartet. This quartet, as well as
the Gordon String Quartet that
will be heard on July 10, have played
each year on this series. The Britt
Ensemble will have their third star
light appearance on August 9. The
Curtis Quartet, that made such a
delightful impression on its first
concert on this series last year, is
scheduled for July S. One of the
newcomers is the Stuyvesant Quar-
tet, which will make its Washington
debut on August 2. This quartet
has recently received much acclaim
for its recording of the Shostako-
vich Quartet and other modern
works.
While the string quartets will pre-
sent the major portion of the pro-
grams of the series, some unusual
chamber music organizations will
be introduced. The Albeneri Trio
will make its first appearance in
Washington on June 28. This trio
was recently organized and con-
sists Of Alexander Schneider, for
|mer violinist of the Budapest
Quartet; Benar Heifetz, former
'cellist of the Kolisch Quartet and
former first cellist of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra. and Erich Itor
Kahn, a distinguished pianist. On
July 26 a. trio, consisting Of Frances
Blaisdell, flutist; Lucille Lawrence
harpist, and Egon Kenton, violist,
will play program of chamber
music for this unique combination.
On July IL Yella Pessl, harpsichord-
ist, and Helen Ware, vio1inist, will
present program of sonatas.
The Stuyvesant Quartet will pre-
sent quartet by Paul Creston that
is new to Washington audiences
and the Gordon Quartet will pre-
sent work by Virgil Thompson
that has not been heard here be-
fore. As far as is possible each pro-
gram will contain one work by an
American composer. Mr.. Cappel in
augurated this idea last season
when several American works; were
heard for the first time.
All concerts will start at $50 pm.
The tickets will have rain checks
for any concerts postponed because
OF inclement weather. The buses on

New Moon Back,
But Showing
Signs of Age
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK.
Although dated, the operetta
New Moon" which opened on
Wednesday at the New York City
Center of Music and Drama, is as
lyrical as a rare spring evening in
New York. Its familiar romantic
songs were sung enthusiastically by
the leads-Dorothy Kristen, Johnny
Morgan, Earl Wrightson and we'll
rehearsed chorus.
Even in revival-16 years after the
original hit-the songs fell short of
being truly exciting only when the
whimsical acoustics of the theater
dropped voice on the wrong side of
the footlights.
Dorothy Kristen. pretty protegee
of Grace Moore, has some of Miss
Moore's energy and lyrical quality.
She sang her songs with compe-
tence, trying hard to keep the stage
busy when things were slow. Earl
Wrightson, a pleasing baritone,
lacked the fire to put across the
part of a bondsman infatuated with
his mistress. John Hamill, on the
other hand, was thoroughly aggres-
sive as Philippe, leader of the revo-
luton.
Johnny Morgan, who has been
busy in radio, made a laughable
comic, busily trying to rid himself
Of one wife and take on another.
Oliver Smiths sets were gay and
suggestive Of detail in the manner
Of o-dimensional flats for restora-
ton comedies. But the shipboard
set had too many girncracks like
candy-striped cannon.
The New Moon" serves well
enough as a background for melo-
dious songs. But the book needs
some of the satirical shots in the
arm that were used on the revised
"Connecticut Yankee" and by
Jupiter"
