The World of Music


 NEW YoRK-(UP)-some new destined to be set in New York co with no slackening in the public being given at the rate of well over el1e country indicate similar upsl centers.
 Aside from the regular presenta- sklon Of opera and ballet, some 30 events were given in New York concert halls last week. One some evenings, there was a surfeit of desirable offerings, making 1t diff cut for music lovers to choose be- tween them. One such evening brought recitals by three major artists - Jose Iturbi, pianist; Jo- Beph Szigeti, violinist, and Nadia Reisenberg, pianist, besides the debut of Dorothy Danzig, young American pianist = yet all drew large houses.
 1turbis audience filled the big City Center and overflowed onto the state. Interest in the event was heightened by the fact that It was the first anniversary cele- bration of the municipality -spon- sored enterprise, which offers good music at fairly low prices and yet has been able to stay out of the red. Iturbi donated his services Tor the anniversary celebration, for which tickets were at the usual top of $1.50, plus tax. The Spanish VirtuoSo gave a brilliant exposition Df works by Scarlatti, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin, topping 1t off in eye-twinkling humor with Morton Goulds Blues and Etude In Boogie- Woogie Fashion.
 Aside from another demonstration of his extraordinary mastery of the violin, Szigeti's raceital was distinguished by the first Aneri- can performance, from manu- script, of Prokofieff's new sonata in D major, Opus 94. It proved to be a lively, melodious, almost catchy piece which is certain to be widely heard in this country when 1t is available, for general use. It is not easy play, it's con- Strliction presenting interesting technical difficulties.
 ARTUR RODzINSKI, musical director of the New York Phil harmonic Symphony, returns to the podium soon for his third fovr-week period of the sea- son, after fortnight during which George Szell conducted.
 Rodzinsh has scheduled two im- portant works with chorus during the coming weeks: Ernest Bloch's symphon, "Israel" and Lukas Foss' '"The Prairie" based on Carl sandburg's epic poem. Soloists under Rodzinski during this time will include Nathan Milstein, Fritz Kreisler and Jascha Heifetz, vio- lnistS; Alexander Brailowsky, pian- ist. and Leonard Rose, 'cellist. On January 13 there will be spe- cial benefit concert for the orches- tra's pension fund, to be conducted by AIturo ToSconini.

NEW RANK FOR IKE?

London, Dec. 26 = (U.PO - Re- liable sources said today that Gen. eral Dwight D. Eisenhower may be given the honorary rank of field marshal of Britain.
 Such . rank would have to be honorary because Eisenhower, a United States citizen, could not ac- cept an actual rank with a foreign government.
 The granting of field marshal's baton to Eisenhower would have to come from the King with the ap- proVal of the government.

Churchill, Eden To Visit Athens

London, Dec. 26-(UP)-Specula tion arose today that the Churchill Eden visit to Athens may be the first step toward meeting of Brit ash, American and Russian leaders in Moscow or the Mediterranean gene.
 Authoritative sources said there was no confirmation that any such development would follow the At hens negotiations, but there was nc known stumbling block to a two- power or three-power meeting with the Russians if Prime Minister Win srou Churchill and Foreign Secre- tary Anthony Eden decided to con- tinue their travels.

ABOARD CARRIER FLAGSHIP
IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC. Oct.
%. Delayed CUP)-Analysio of the
battle of the Philippines make plain
that the japanese in their desperate
effort to destroy our Leyte beach,
head were prepared to sacrifice
ceveral capital ships to achieve their
objective.
The sacrifice, as events proved,
was made but the objective was not
achieved.
TWO BASIC ERRORS
1t was evident that the japanese
made two basic errors. First, they
underestimate our carrier strength,
apparently taking at face value
their cwn propaganda efforts that
most of our ships were sunk or dam
aged off Formosa
Secondly. they thought that our
remaining forces were split up. part
of them refueling and part of them
protecting the Leyte beachhead.
Proceeding on those beliefs, the
Japanese embarked On what our
naval men consider basically sound
battle plan They amazsed their
battleghips and a strong force of
the remaining japanese carriers.
The bold japanese plan was to
ewing down on our supposedly dis
persed and weakened forces from
three directions. sweep through
taking losses as they came-and de-
stroy the Leyte transports.
But the japanese lad undereSti-
mated our carrier strength and our
ability to handle several sectors
simultaneously.
They moved IN on Leyte aud
