Federated Press learned that Federal
COMMUNICATIONS Commission recordings
of broadoasts from Berlin and Tokyo
failed to show that Axis propagandists
had made any use Of either the rail or
steel disputes in recent appeals to their
people.
Meanwhile, labor foes we're quick to
seize the statement to press home their
campaigns for some form of labor-shack-
ling legislation.
The statement was denounced by Pres.
r. J. Thomas of the United Auto Work
ers CCIO). This blitz against labor"
he said, "has all the earmarks of a
Reichstag fire. The Nazis burned the
Reichstag to scare the German people
into handling over pictorial power to
Hitler. Somebody in Washington is will
ing to endanger the unity of the Ameri-
can people in the hope of strait-jacket-
ing labor"
One labor spokesman, expressing the
views of many of his colleagues, took
the position that MarshalIs charge was
so patiently preposterous that it could
only have been tossed off carelessly and
without consideration Of either its con-
tent or effect. This person said if the
statement was intended to impress
American workers with the seriousness
of the military situation in the next few
months, it was wide of its mark.

dered the Toston dam from which the
Broadwater county farmers secured their
irrigation water, useless, and would have
compelled the farmers to purchase the
water from the Montana Power COM
pany. It placed them completely at
the mercy Of the monopoly control of
the river by the power company, and
naturally made it impossible for them
to plan production of their crops. More
over the decision precluded any further
new irrigation development.
The power company claimed sole and
exclusive right to all waters and flow
of the Missouri river upstream from
the Morony dam. That it had no need
for the bulk of the waters is shown by

a pr~inting-trades union.
The company admitted that in 1888 it
hired at least 282 employees. The next
year the figure was SIS. In 1910 it hired
986. The number more than doubled in
l941, to 2,411. In the following year it
redoubled, to $500. And in 1913 Dom
nelley's broke all previous records, hiring
1902 new hands up to October 10.
Printing is one Of the most heavily
u%nionized industries in America. Had
the Donnelley employment department
observed the ratios prevailing in the
printing industry as a whole, it would
have hired several thousand unionists in
1913. Had it even observed the ratio
prevailing for American industries gener-
ally, Donnelley's would certainly nave
hired more than a thousand. AS it is,
not a solitary member OF ex-member of
a printing union was hired last year
or, for that matter, since 1887.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The National Symptoms first
Federal employees command per-
formance last night was a great
success. Boxes, orchestra and bal
cony seats were filled with one of
the most appreciative audiences the
orchestra has had. Inspired by the
rapt attention, which in turn was
inspired by the spirited playing, DR..
Kinder led his men in one of the
best performances to their credit.
The program was the audiences
own choosing so that the rapport
between players and listeners went
deeper than in other symphonic
concerts.
The selections were for the most
part Of popular appeal with enough
balance supplied by the works OF
Mozart, Schubert, Tschaikowsky and
Wagner. But even in these melody
was uppermost, which might be
noted as the requirements of a.
cross-section of the general Amer
lean public. And surely, more good
was done in the way of deepening
the appreciation of music and more
pleasure given than any resulting
from hearing the labored efforts of
some Of the modern composers.
Place in front of DR.. Kinder and
his men the overture to Mozart's
1.-THE Marriage of Figaro" Schu-
bert's Unfinished" Symphony, the
first movement of which was played,
and Tschaikowsky's tone poem "Ro-
meo and Juliet" and the most blase
concertgoer will sit up and take
notice. For in understanding of
their unfailing beauty, in response
to their fire, in the immersion in
their spirit, the orchestra and its
conductor have few equals. Such
was the tempo set last night by the
Mozart overture and kept up with
out Stacking to the concert S end.
Kreisler's "Liebesleid" found
place between Bach's "Air on the G
String" and the Tschaikowsky poem
but otherwise the numbers of lighter
character were reserved for the Sec
ond part of the program. These con-
sisted of Lehar's waltz, Gold and
Silver" Strauss "Pizzicato Polka"
and Perpetual Notion" Gershwin's
Summertime, Shastakovich's "Sa-
tirical Polka" and Cigars Land of
Hope and Glory" with which the
program closed.
Infusing these vafied selections
with a wealth of sentiment and
telling nuances, the orchestras S play
ing aroused the type of enthusiasm
that expressed itself in especially
heart-warming applause.
Evening star., 1944-02-17

"Der Rosenkavalier" and the Death
Of Boris" from Moussorgsky's Boris
Godunov." the latter forming the
dramatic finale Of the program.
Without the expert assistance of
Wolfgang Rose at the piano, it
would have been difficult to give the
set of Wolf songs and the Brahms
"Vier ernste Gesange" which
formed the very kernel of the re-
cital. These songs ask the utmost
in interpretive powers from singer
and pianist alike and the complete
sympathy between Mr.. Kipnis and
Mr.. Rose vas a contributing factor
to their success.
Mr.. Kipnis' innate feeling gave

ing expected with great interest In
Berlin the broadcast said.
