Alec Templeton Turns Tables,
Plays Jazz in Classical STYLE

in c." by Haydn and Scarlatti's S
Sonata in C Minor"
While an adept in depicting the
classic line, Templeton is also one
of the few who has a marked
affinity for the tone painters. In
Debussy's La Soiree dams Grenada"
and Scriabin's Poem in F Sharp"
he created, in the quality of tone
and the lightness of his touch, the
evanescent beauty of these works.
The romanticism of Brahms Inter-
mezzo in B Flat Minor" was also
reproduced with tender conscious
ness and the same understanding
feeling was present in Chopin's
"Etude in A Flat"
One encore followed this portion
|of the program, Mr. Templeton
choosing to play Gershwin's Second
Prelude" preceding it with a few
words Of eulogy of the composer.
Many more could have been added,
for the audience was highly demon
strative after each number the
artist presented.

BY ALICE EyERSMAN.

Another Of Alec Templeton's
piano recitals started G. c. Cap
pel's concert series off last night in
Constitution Hall in most auspi-
cious fashion. For sold-out house
greeted the popular artist and the
number of disappointed people for
whom there was no ticket available
caused Mr.. Cappel to engage Mr.
Templeton for another concert here
this winter. The date set for this
appearance is March 20.
There is hardly another pianist
or artist of any kind who can give
the same kind of enjoyment to his
listeners as does Mr.. Templeton.
From the vast repertoire he has at
his command, he chooses the most
appealing numbers for the serious
part of his program and winds up
with a half hour of musical fun.
Only an artist so widely gifted as
Mr.. Templeton and one to whom
music is very personal thing could
VI iIlS ooe 1OS pCduGll III SiSC, yCt
appreciate its possibilities for satire
His knowledge of the classic and
popular types of music Is the fusing
point of his witty take-offs and he
turned the tables last night by
playing a well-known jazz theme in
classical style. Complete familiar
ity with the different composers
tdioms made it an easy assignment
for Mr.. Templeton to take five dis
cordant notes, suggested by the au-
dience, and follow its wish to hear
them used as basis for improviza-
tions unmistakably reminiscent of
Bach, Rachmaninoff, Debussy and
Gershwin. These, with his own
inimitable Satires, Handel With
Care" and "Gounoud Weds Nola"
concluded the informal part of the
program and of the concert as well.
The two groups of serious numbers
that the pianist claims is necessary
before he can get into humorous
vein displayed not only his mastery
technical equipment, but also the
individuality of his interpretive
powers. More poetic than dramatic,
he makes the piano sing with eX-
quisite tone and easily captures the
very essence of the works he plays.
From Bach's great output he Sc
lected two of the loveliest numbers:
The "Bourree," from the English
Suite in A Minor" and the prelude
and Fugue in E Flat Minor" of
Book I, following them with his own
arrangement of the lyric "Serenade

Unions TO Fight
Arkcnsos Law

FORT SMITH, Arkansas -
(LPA)-Organized la bor in
Arkansas has served notice that
it will cotinue its fight against
the anti-labor law, disguised as
a Freedom To Work" amend
ment which passed by major
ity of 1900 on Nov. z.
The Arkansas Labor Journal,
in its Nov. % issue, contends
editorially that mo doubt the
amendment would not have
been passed if the ballot title
had indicated the true nature Of
the amendment"
The editorial recalls that
number of attorneys have ex-
pressed belief that the amend
ment is unconstitutional. 'The
Wagner Act permits employers
and labor unions to enter into
closed-shor agreements if they
so desire, and a battle may be
expected from this source. Pas
sage of this anti-labor legislation
has served to unite religious and
labor groups and these groups
will no doubt be in the majority
when election time rolls around
two years hence"

Plant Retains
War Vets

DETROIT, Dec. 9. Some
500 World War II veterans,
who otherwise already had
been or were shortly to be
laid off, will be kept on the
job at the Packard plant as the
result of an agreement conclud-
ed and signed today between
Local 100, UAW-CIO, and the
company management, Louis de-
Bearn, president of the local an
nounced.
None of the veterans affected
were employed by Packard at
the time they entered the armed
forces and consequently had no
job protection under the terms
of the Selective Service Act.
The agreement between the
local union and the management
is based on a model contract
clause drafted by the Veterans
Department of the UAW-CIO on
instructions from the unions
Grand Rapids convention in
September, which extends to
veterans not covered by the Sc
lective Service Act seniority
credit equal to the amount of
time they spent in the armed
forces.
Packard Is First
Packard is the first major en-
ployer in the automobile or air
craft industry to agree to the un-
ions proposal, according to Jo-
seph G. Velosky, director of the
Veterans Department, and Victor
c.. Reuther, assistant director of
the War Policy Division of which
the Veterans Department is a
part. The proposal has been sub
mitted by the union to all major
employers.
The Packard plant is under
going a layoff involving about
5000 workers. The 500 veterans
would have been included in the
Iayoff if it had not been for the
agreement, since otherwise their
seniority would date only from
the time of their employment,
following their discharge from
the service.
Company representatives sign
ing the agreement were F. j.
Bird, r. N. Brown, w. H. Smith,
c.. c. Reifel, and E. Patzkowsky.
Union representatives were
deBearnc John K. Mcdaniel, Pat
Zombo, and Curt Murdock,
of the plant committee.

WLB Rules
On Vet
Unemployment

A war veteran returning to his
job is to be "reemployed at the
level to which he would have
been entitled if there had been
no break in his service with the
company" according to the Ma
tional War Labor Boards inter
probation of the Selective Train
ing and Service Act of 1910, it
was announced recently.
The Boards Interpretation was
stated by its General Counsel,
Jesse Freidin; in reply to a letter
from R. w. Finlay, Director, La
Dor Negotiating Service, Division
of Safeway Stores, Inc, San
Francisco, California.
Mr.. Finlay inquired whether
a returned veteran reemployed
by his original employer should
be moved forward to the point
in an automatic length-of-se service
schedule of rates to which he
would be entitled to if he had
been continually employed dur
ing the period of his service with
the armed forces.
"The Selective Training and
Service Act of 1910 guarantees
unemployment to a veteran in a
position of like seniority, status,
and pay" Mr.. Freiden replied in
his letter. "This has been inter-
preted as requiring such a vet
eran to be reemployed at the
level to which he would have
been entitled if three had been
no break in his service with
the company.

States Committees Report
Recently a Cost of Living
Committee which you had ap-
pointed in November 1943 sub
mitted a report to you conced-
ing that the rise in retail prices
Of selected goods, rents and serv-
ices bought by families of wage
earners has been 300 since jan
uary /, 1941. This conclusion is
based upon the Index of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics. But the
Bureau itself frankly admits in
its monthly reports that the In
dex does not show the full war
time effect on the cost of living
of such factors as lowered quail
ty, disappearance of low-priced
goods, and forced changes in
housing and eating away from
home The full rise in wartime
living costs has been calculated
by the Labor Representatives of
the Cost of Living Committee ID
be approximately 45To since
January l, 1941. In the face of
this continued rise in the cost of
living, wage rates have remain
ed frozen under the Little Steel
formula.
THE expressions of pious
hopes or statements that the cost
of living has not risen, which
have from time to time emanat-
ed from those responsible for
preventing any rise in cost of
living, cannot refute the forego-
ing stubborn facts. The situation
which you projected in Septem-
ber, 1912 as one which would be
the equivalent of a $50 sales
tax and wage cut has actually
occurred"

Choices
Raped

DETROIT, Dec. 10. Declar-
ing that it takes a strong
faith" in the national admi-
nistration mot to quail in
the face of events in Wash
ington today" Congress m n
Frank E. Hook, 18th Michigan
Congressional District, called
upon President Roosevelt to
give some sign that the domes-
tic affairs of the country are not
going to be entrusted to big busi-
ness representatives.
'The American people repudi-
ated the candidates of big busi-
ness" Hook told the National
Womens Conference of the
UAW-CIO meeting over the
weekend in Detroit. "They re-
jected the mouthpiece of j. P.
Morgan and Alfred P. Sloan.
And yet, the satellites of big
business, partners in the affairs
of j. P. Morgan and Sloan, have
been appointed by Franklin
Roosevelt to run the foreign af-
fairs of the country"
Hook said the people who
elected Roosevelt should know
whether the appointments of
Stettinius as Secretary of State,
and of William Clayton and Jo-
seph Grew to his staff, are "por-
tents of similar things to Gomez"
Roosevelt Obligated
"It is not too early for the ma
tional administration to begin to
make good on its campaign
promises" he said, 'to at least
lay the groundwork for the co.
100000 jobs; to give some SUBJ
stance to the vision of a better
America after the war.
President Roosevelt Is OBJ
ligated by the solemn trust
placed in him through his re-
election to allay the fears of the
very people who elected him. He
is obligated to give some sign
that the domestic affairs of the
country are not going to be en-
rusted to big business represen-
tatives.
II do not believe that Frank
lin d. Roosevelt will betray the
confidence of the American peo-
pie. ] do not pretend to under
stand the dictates behind the ap-
pointment of Stettinius and
Grew and Clayton, but I do
know that the conduct of our
foreign affairs is inextricably in
in our hopes for domestic
prosperity after the war. Our
hopes for full employment are
dependent upon expansion of our
foreign markets, on reputation
of the cartel system which ham,
