Pianist Arrau Is Brilliant
AS Soloist With Symphony

senting at the same time exacting
technical difficulties, so much crit
icized by his contemporaries. To do
his composition justice one must
have a supreme command of the
keyboard, a touch which can bring
out the sensuous beauty of the mu-
sic, and imagination to cope with
the ideas, clothed into an austere
classical idiom. All this Mr.. Arrau
possesses in high degree.
Aided by the sympathetic collabo-
ration of DR.. Kinder and the or
chestra, the famous pianist outdid
himself in sustaining the logical
progression of the composers ideas
and impressed his audience by the
power of his physical and technical
ability, the thunder of his chords,
the lightness of his octaves and the
ripple of his scales. He was recalled
innumerable times, sharing the ap-
plause with Dr. Kinder more than
once.
The National Symphonys part of
the program consisted Of Bach's
"Passacaglia and Fugue in G Minor"
Transcribed for orchestra by con-
temporary Russian composer, Alex
ahder Goedicke. The arrangement
suggests a mammoth organ and
brings out salient points of majesty
and grandeur, yet Stokowski's tran
scription of the same work, heard
here before, seems to be the better
of the two.
The orchestra and conductor, re-
freshed by a two-week vacation
played with obvious pleasure and
scored an ovation with Beethoven's
Fifth Symphony" at the end.

The first concert in the new year
by the National Symphony Orches-
ira, under the direction of DR.. Hans
Kinder, yesterday afternoon at
Constitution Hall. was a tribute to
the three worlds musical giants,
Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, whose
lofty idealism, expressed in music,
provided us with means of escape
from worldly strife, it's grossness
and folly, and serves as a beacon
to guide mankind toward higher
regions.
1t was in a spirit of reverance
that DR.. Kinder and the soloist of

for their amplitude and breadth.

Fraudulent Medicine
Slated for Export
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Mayor F,
H. La Guardia disclosed yesterday
that large quantity Of proprietary
medicines, some of which he said
were Improperly labeled" and some
outright frauds" had been en-
bargoed in November as they were
to be shipped to Central and South
America.
The statement, made jointly with
City Health Commissioner Ernest
l.. Stebbins at press conference
with New York and Latin American
reporters, also revealed the existence
Of disagreement between the New
York Health Department and the
Foreign Economic Administration
concerning export policies.
Mayor La Guardia said the en-
bargoed medicines were worth be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, and de-
clared the action was taken because
what Is no good for us is no good
for other people"
The Mayor said he had written tc
Leo T. Crowley, foreign economic ad.
ministrator, advising him the drugs
were mot only improperly labeled
but some Of them are outright
frauds, some dangerous to health
and others brazenly mislabeled."
DR.. Stebbins said some of the
preparations embargoed contained
no ingredients to back claims or
labels, while some labels failed tt
warn Of harm that might be causec
by the product, and that some Of the
preparations claimed the ability t.
cure ailments which cannot be cureo
by self medication.
Mayor La Guardia said that c
Victor Barry of the FEA had pro-
tested to the Health Department
against seizure of advertising ma.
terial, drugs and pharmaceutical ane
proprietary preparations intended
for export from the United States.
The Mayor said Mr.. Barry wrote
that the FEA would continue tt
grant export licenses, regardless o.
food and drug requirements fol
domestic consumption, so long a.
they met the requirements of the

but they have heard about the fierce
tribes of Wild West days and many
believe they still exist. The Nazis
in the camp interested the GIs with
timid questions about the practice
of scalping and other stories of
bloodthirsty practices of early Amer
ican Indians.
Those questions, plus the fact that
many Sioux Indians still inhabit
Northern Minnesota and have been
seen by the prisoners, started the
CT pranksters on a line of kidding
that has developed into a highly
successful way of keeping the Nazis
from attempting escape, 1t. Diet
rich said.
Not all the German prisoners fear
that they would be scalped if caught
by the Indians, the lieutenant said,
but virtually all of them have been
sold 100 per cent on the idea that
any attempt to escape would be
futile-"the Indians will catch you
if you try"

have chance to escape If the Sioux

The legend about the Indians has
been strengthened by the GIs or
several escape attempts, 1t. Diet
rich said.
I'm two or three cases where Ger
man prisoners have tried to rur
away and have been captured by
soldier guards without any assist
ance from the Indians or any out
else" the lieutenant said, "tne

The lieutenant laughingly added

that the prisoners didn't need tc

Now her work Is due new and
greater popularity, that which goes
with the name and power OF Spen-
Ger Tracy as its, hero In the mo-
ton picture version which opened
today ct LoeWs Palace. Helen
Deutch who wrote the screen adap-
tation has done no literal trAnsla-
ton of the original, but she has
kept its spirit and its force. Among
the numerous pictures OF Its genre,
1t stands out singulariy as among
the best.
"The Seventh Cross" Is none Of
your rough and tumble jousts be-
tween the NaziS and their victims.
1t is q psychologist study. somber
tale of the slow disintegration OF
the bravest and most moral Of men
under the savagery Of the German
system. It is one Of the most exact
ing roles assigned to Tracy In many
pictures and he makes Of 1t one Of
his most superb pieces Of character
portraiture.
The Seventh Cross" is q story
almost minute In area, the PAINS
taking mental and moral examina-
ton Of few characters operative
In the German underground. It's
chief figure is the implacably ideal
istic George Heisler (Tracy) who
has escaped from one Of the most
frightful Of the concentrationpcamps
spawned by the Nazis for the tor
turous destruction Of those who OPP
pose them.
He is one of seven men in the
escape group, for whom the Nazis
have reared an equal number OF
crosses on which it intends to cruc-
| ify the men one by one as they are
captured. Heisler is the one the
Nazis are particularly anxious to
capture, but the cross reserved for
him Is the one that remains unused
after the six others have been filled.
The remorselessly grim point of
Miss Seghers suspenseful narrative
Is that escape from the Nazis Is an
experience more tortuous than cap
ture by them.
Heisler is at large outside the
barbed wire, but he Is by no means
free. There is no place for him to
20. His home Is Shadowed, he
knows. His friends In his home
town of Mainz have been scattered.
He knows Of one that works with
the underground, but he has heard
the man is in Berlin. It is not the
case, the man is in Mainz, and
the action of "The Seventh Cross"
Is the slow, tormenting, but always
dramatic, process Of bringing them
together.
He goes first to the girl he
dreamed of through two savage
years in confinement. She has for
gotten her promise to wait forever,
married anothers and threatens to
turn him in.
That is one more personal disas-
ter which fails to break his convic-
ton that there is q decency in man
that must show itself II only the
right ones can be found. His faith
is rewarded but with poignant tar
diness and always over him hangs
the torture that perhaps his friends,
or the helpful stray strangers he
meets will be that many more VIC
tins OF the life he Is trying to
save.
He knows of the others capture,
from the papers and the radio. He
actually sees the great acrobat with
whom he fed dive to his death from
