votes through Mr.. Wallace. Whether
he is on or of is not going to alter
the total sufficiently in any State
to affect the result. Under these
circumstances and conceding that
MFR. Wallace's fate is in the Presi-
dents hands. the best judgment
is that Mr.. Wallace will be renomi-
mated.
The strongest reason for believing
this is that the Wallace advocates
are Mr.. Roosevelt's friends while
his opponents are mostly anti
Roosevelt-and will continue anti
Roosevelt regardless Of what he
does. In brief, there Is no political
advantage to be gained for the
President in dropping Mr.. Wallace.

and stupid piece of, cruelty

possible without them--their gen.

The colonel said, "I can't let you

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

In closing the regular series of
concerts by the Philadelphia Orches-
ira, Eugene Ormandy made another
astute choice in program numbers
which, while providing a wide va
riety, managed to blend in fine har-
mony. The concert last night was
outstanding for it offered the oppor-
tunity to hear as soloist the famed
flutist of the orchestra, William Kin
caid, whose beautiful playing long
has contributed to the perfection of
the group and featured as major
orchestral selection the Second
Symphony" by Sibelius. Occasion
to hear something from the young
Brazilian composer Camargo Guar
nieri, and to enjoy the familiar in
the Beethoven Overture to "Egmont"
and Strauss Tales From the Vienna
Woods" also was provided.
Ormandy's increasing power of
dramatic portrayal was eXemplified
in his reading of the Sibelius SYM
phony. -. 1t was a masterpiece in
emotional and structural develop
ment accomplished with a remark
able degree of restraint and spacing
that made its finale and several
minor climaxes grandiose and STIR
ing. After one of its first hearings,
a Swedish composer friend of Sibe-
ius called him "the Unfathomable"
and so also might be described his
Second Symphony" For with all
the clarity of outline, such as Mr..
Ormandy arrived at, and the appeal
that rests in1~the music, there re-
mains. nevertheless, something i'm
penetrable In 1t.
Its disjointed utterances, its
haunting melody, its happiness and
brightness and its dark, inscrutable
brooding are so strangely inter-
mingled that it is difficult to adjust
their relationship. Yet it Is impos-
sible to remain unresponsive to its
elemental fire and all-embracing
