'Paratroopers' Routed
Near be|tsyi|Ie as
Guardsmen Maneuver
MoryIond's 9th Battalion
Conquers Minutemen
In 3lz Hours

Approximately $50 members Of
the 9Th Battalion, Maryland State
Guard, yesterday "bntzed" an equal
number of enemy paratroopers"
in maneuvers held by four Prince
Georges County companies and one
Anne Arundel County unit at
Christensen's farm, near Beltsville.
The "paratroopers" were mem
bers of the Maryland Minutemen
who had spread through the farm
and who presumably were headed
for Washington.
The report of the enemy land
ing" was received at 8 am. and
the State Gaurdsmen successfully
captured the group after 81 hours
A group of 10 Guardsmen from
Anne Arundel seized all the horses
of the Minutemen cavalry unit in
a fianking movement at the be-
ginning of the attack.
1t. Col. Caesar L. Aiello, COM
mander of the 9Th Battalion, COM
posed of three companies from Hy-
attsville and one each from Annapo-
lis and Laurel, said blank ammuni-
ton and smoke pots were used in
an attempt to simulate actual battle
conditions. At one point in the at
tack the guards were forced to use
gas masks to counteract tear gas
bombs exploded by the Minute Men.
At the conclusion of the attack,
both Col. Aiello and Brig. Gen.
Dwight H. Mohr, commander of the
State Guard, praised the guardsmen
for the speed with which they cap
tured the enemy Gen. Mohr said
the maneuvers, the first of series
to be held by the battalion in the
Washington area, were the best he
had ever seen.
Col. Aiello pointed out that the
maneuvers, which began Saturday,
furnished excellent preinduction
training for many of the guardsmen
who are between the ages Of is
and 1S.
The battalion was transported Sat-
urday In Fort George G. Meade
trucks to the farm, where they set
up pup tents. The Saturday night
program was devoted to motion pic
lures depicting riot-control meth
ods. Col. Aiello said that the next
maneuvers probably will be held in
July on 1,000-acre tract owned by
the District Training School at
Laurel.

Hardly any other artist before the
public today has such wide di-
versity of interest in all Of which
he excels as does Jose Iturbi, who
was heard in q piano recital yester-
day afternoon at Constitution Hall
AS one of the movie stars participat-
ing in the Presidents Birthday
Celebration he had busy schedule
over the week end, yet was as fresh
and concentrated in his playing as
If that were his only duty of the
moment. A sold-out house with
several rows of chairs on the stage
made yesterdays audience a record
one for the concerts on the Dorsey
series and a tribute to the artists
popularity.
The particular style which Iturbi
has developed in his playing and
the personal approach in the in
depreciation of master works re-
mains unchallenged. He is one OF
the few pianists who combines the
brilliancy Of a virtuoso and the
lyric feeling Of poet and is able to
project the latter with far more
power than all the dazzling effects
his remarkable technique could in
spire. His rich, sensuous tone is

Sold-Out House Pays Tribute
To Pianist Iturbi's Popularity

trolled mechanical equipment and
the result is an elasticity of effects
of we'll calculated dynamics, and of
emotional variety that charms at
every moment.
The program which Mr.. Iturbi
played was entirely different from
that originally announced and con-
sisted of the Mozart Sonata in A
Major" the Beethoven "Appassio-
nata," Listz's "Liebestraum" and
Hungarian Rhapsody No. H." three
preludes by Gershwin, Albeniz's eel
Albaicin" and Debussy's "LTsle
Joyeuse." Unfortunately, the inter-
est for the avid music lover in this
type of program has waned some
what, although it is true that Iturbi
contributed something different in
his interpretations by his individual
approach.
Mozart, for instance, is an ideal
vehicle for him and even this more
familiar and less taxing opus had a
grace and elegance brought about
by the clarity of his delivery, the
subtlety Of nuance and singing tone.
The "Appassionata," while vibrant
with color and the many fine pian-
istic effects in Iturbi's special man
ner, was rather nonchalant in feel
ing as If the artist had not yet been
able to submerge himself thoroughly
in its emotional content. The thread
was broken already in the Mozart
when 1t was necessary to interrupt
the continuity to seat the late
comers.
The shorter numbers after the in
termission Jared better for with the
"Liebestraum," the poetic mood,
which Iturbi was want to capture
in former days by an interval of
concentration before he played, re-
turned. The three preludes by
Gershwin brought about the finest
performance of the afternoon in
point of finesse in Interpretation and
delivery. The pianist's skill in ar
irving at tremendous resonating
volume without sacrifice of tonal
beauty was illustrated in the Liszt
Rhapsody" as it was earlier in
the Beethoven. The scintillating
rhythms of Albeniz and the delicate
tone painting of Debussy are spe-
cialties of Iturbi and his perform
ance of eel Albaicin" and "LTsle
Joyeuse" brought forth resounding
applause.
Although this was not one of the
best recitals Iturbi has given here,
the audience was enthusiastic
throughout and willingly waited for
the encores that followed the con-
clusion of the program.

Suddenly the opera became bank

tenor singer, also was without work.
There were four children, three
sisters and . brother. and something
had to be done for them. The
father took one thing after an
other to pawnahop and there bor-
rowed money.
Adelina knew only = little Of what
was going on. She missed her trips
to opera, but she knew many songs
by heart. Often she s6ng them as
she walked around thu house. Mr..
Patti sat thinking q his troubles
when an idea came to him.

himself. why not get her . place

Following out this idea he ar
ranged to have the little girl sing
