Sonata in A minor, op. %" brought
the recital to a successful conclusion.
A large and appreciative audience
assembled yesterday afternoon at
the, Pan-American Union to hear
Juan Alvarado, a Venezuelan tenor,
who made 1t his patriotic duty to
acquaint the people at large with
the native music of his country.
Endowed with a voice, the SYM
pathetic quality Of which is ac-
cented by fine diction and q de-
livery which reflects an innate ap-
probation Of the text, Senor Alva-
RADIO scored a decided point in favor
Of his nationalistic aim. The Is
songs presented, divided into three
groups and followed by encores at
the end of the program, gave ample
opportunity to become familiar with
the poetic and care-free nature of
his compatriots as expressed in ira

Jacques Gordon,
Helen McGra1V,
At the Gallery
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

Jacques Gordon,s return engage
ment to the National Gallery of Art
last night brought with 1t the first
local performance of Copland's violin
and piano sonata, dedicated to 1t.
Harry H. Durham. Joining forces
with Helen McGraw, a sensitive,
competent and artistic partner, Mr..
Gordon opened the program with
Donanyi's Sonata in c sharp minor,
op 81" notable for the composers S
decided gift for melody and strong
leaning toward Brahms, whom he
held In highest esteem.
The performance of both opuses
was satisfying in the use of con-
trasting colors and finesse of execu-
ton. While Donanyi's composition
was written approximately at the
time Mr.. COPELAND was born, and
between the two stands a gulf of
nearly so years of progressive revo-
luton carried on against established
traditions, the works have one thing
in common-an objective. Donanyi's
objective lies in the urge to capture
an ideal of beauty; COPELAND 's-to
create mood in which attempt he
succeeds better than many of his
contemporaries.
The comparative baroness of Cop
lands piano score throughout, the
recitative- like violin part against it,
establish almost at once the impress
sion of sad meditation developed
to suggest by and by a picture of
loneliness, if not despair There is
a rugged part in the first movement
the harshness of which is rather I'M
pleasant to the ear. The most
graceful section of the three is the
last, which is also an effective violin
number. In this, light, mocking
thrusts of a bouncing bow, inter-
mingled with an adept plucking of
strings, retain long enough happy
mood to suggest exuberance, until
deep, overwhelming chords on the
piano put an end to gaiety. The

Teen Club Declared
Answer 10 Problem
OF Juveniles Here

A "Teen Club" with a soda bar, q
tuke box, game room and, most
important of all, large dance floor,
would be the answer to the question,
Where can we go?" for Washington
boys and girls, in the opinion of Pvt.
James G. Bryant, jr., of the Police
Departments Juvenile Bureau.
His proposal is being given serious
consideration in the Northeast area
where he is comforting with various
civic groups and leaders in the hope
of developing a community wide
project.
Pvt. Bryant's plan is indorsed in
the current issue of the Brookland-
Woodbridge Guide, with this COM
ment: "We feel he has finally solved
the question as to where the girls
and boys of the community may
congregate without any bad after
effects"
Vacant Store Possible Site.
A vacant store on Rhode Island
avenue in the center of the Greater
Woodbridge community is being con-
sidered as a possible site. 1t would
need to be enlarged but the owner
IS Offering attractive terms for such
an arrangement.
Pvt. Bryant's idea grew out of his
experience in covering downtown
night spots before he joined the
Juvenile Bureau.
Many boys and girls, he observed
patronized commercial night clubs
and beer joints because they were
the only places they could find
their favorite form of entertain
ment-dancing.
He also observed that these young
sters felt i'll at ease ordering their
usual coke" in such establish
ments and tended to form the habit
of drinking alcoholic beverages as
an excuse to remain on premises
that permitted dancing. Because
they looked older than their age,
many were able to obtain such
drinks, he said
Similar to Night Club.
His plan. as presented in the
Brookland- Woodbridge Guide, calls
for large building similar to a
night club with accommodations for
about 500 A small admission fee,
together with proceeds from the
soda bar, would offset operating ex-
penses.
The project would be controlled
by board comprised of contribu-
tors who would make necessary ar
rangements for proper supervision
and policies.
Mrs. Marie Cuthbertson Mold, at
torney, who is active in civic and
church groups of the Greater Wood
ridge area, is among those enthu-
siastic over the proposal. She be-
lieves such a club could be developed
to serve as a model for similar
clubs In other sections of Wash

 Accused of killing his imbecile in- fant by electricity, the N-year-old corporation lawyer is fighting ing against conviction and a man. datory death penalty.
 Assistant Medical Examiner Mil ton Helpern of New York, a pro- lessor at Cornell Medical school, was to be recalled for cross-exam- ination by District Attorney Charles R. Alherti, who concluded the prose- cution's case Thursday after IS trial days in which he had questioned 3l witnesses.

Yonks Score Heavily
CcOntlnued from Page D

Seizure of the 1854 foot peak came as the Japanese were reellng un- der the impact of American land, air and sea assaults which gave U. 8. troops control of half the island, destroyed at least 747 enemy planes and 90 ships and damaged Sl other vessels since the MartAf1as operations began.
 Additional reports of the big battle east of the Philippines last Monday revealed that another Jap- anese aircraft carrier and two more cruisers were damaged, bringing to IS the number of enemy warships sunk or damaged in two days of naval and aerial action west of the Marianas.
 Admiral Chester w. Nimitz said the carrier was hit by seven 5O- poundn bombs, although he did not describe the damage to the two other vessels, one @ heavy and the other a light crliiseh.
 Nimitz also disclosed that 1l6 enemy planes were destroyed last Friday when planes from a cruiser task force raided Iwoa lima in the Volcano Islands, 753 miles south of Toyko and almost midway be- tween Japan's homeland and the Marianas.
 Another 49 Japanese planes were added by revised reports to the score rolled up by the American fleet supporting the invasion of Saipan, raising to 4O2 enemy aircraft lost in the abortive attack last Sunday.
 In the air and sea fighting in those engagements four American ships were damaged; 15l planes lost and o8 flight personnel missing.
 A communique said that Japanese planes damaged several landing craft off Saipan Friday, and dropped several bombs in the Amer ican troop area on the island the same night, causing "very light" casualties.
 Marines and Army troops were battling the Japanese in caves and hills along line from Garapan on the west coast to the north shore of Magicienne Bay on the east coast.
 Front dispatches said the Ameri- cans penetrated farther into the outskirts of Garapan. the Marianas' capital, and threatened to cut off the city.

 Gov. Walter E. Edge of New Jer- sey served notice last night that he was willing to carry to the floor his fight for strong policy of international collaboration. He said he was dissatisfied with the tentative draft submitted by spe- cial advisory group after six months study.
 The tentative draft would put the party on record as favoring United States participation in postwar in- ternational collaboration including cooperative direction of peace forces" to prevent future aggres" sion.
 Approval Won
 The tentative draft won prompt approval without substantial change by the foreign affairs subcommittee and apparently was destined Tor equally prompt endorsement by the full resolutions committee.
 In presenting 1t, Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan warned against changing a single word without weighting 1t carefully. Edge protested that the party must not put forth plank fin words that are weasel or evasive."
 The anti-regimentation theme ran through the reports of subcommit- tees which studied domestic issues
 The subcommittee on postwar business reflected Republican com plaints against the decision of "a supreme court composed of New Deal appointees" which ruled that the insurance business is subject to federal antitrust laws. The coin- mittee favored state regulation of insurance.
 The business subcommittee pledged a postwar reduction of in- dividual, corporate and excise taxes ito the lowest level consistent with a secure fiscal policy"
 Regimentatlon Condemned The agriculture subcommittee condemned regimentation and re- ported l6-point program which included equitable market prices in place of subsidies: continuation of government support programs, commodity loans and soil conserva- tion; consolidation of all farm credit agencies; tariff protection against foreign competitive farm products; development of new foreign and domestic markets; treatment of la- bor, agriculture and business on "an equal basis; elimination of politics from the agriculture department and a government policy which would encourage "bountiful pro- duction."
 Two other subcommittees were scheduled to be ready with their reports today. The labor group was expected to advocate standardization of all labor affairs of government in 8 strong department of labor. The foreign trade subcommittee was expected to repeat the 1940 plat form advocacy of tariff protection as essential to the American stan dard of living and congressional review of reciprocal trade treaties.
