RABIN0F RETURNS
HERE OCTOBER Is

Plans are going forward for the
return engagement, at New Han
over high school October 10, of
Benno Rabinof, well-known Am
erican violinist, who is being pres
ented under auspices of the high
school orchestra.
Rabinof, with his accompanist,
Sylvia Smith, will play this year
an entirely different program.
Among the selections will be his
own Transcription of Sarasate's
''The Nightengale', a composition
with great technical demands but
with rich and scintillating beauty.
There is a very interesting story
connected with Rabinof's $4,000
Guarnerius violin:
In the yea- 1742, Guarnerius, the
master violin maker, presented
three ''Sister" violins to the world,
mates rich in tone and beautiful of
body.
The first of the Sisters" lies in
a museum in Genoa, the birthplace
of the first magician of violinist,
Paganini. This violin is seldom US
ed but is in perfect condition. In
1881 when Benno Rabinof toured
the continent, the Italians honored
him by taking him to this museum
where they brought the masters
own violin from showcase and in
vited him to play. Rabinof, con-
scious of the honor, played Pagan
ini's variation of Mel Cor Piu Non
Mi Sento', which translated means
There Is a Sadness in My Heart
and which is one of the most diff
cult of violin compositions ever
written. He captivated his Italian
audience so that he was carried
back to his hotel on the shoulders
Of his admi-ing listeners.
The second of the sisters" was
purchased by Jascha Heifetz and is
the instrument that famed violinlst
uses today in preference to all his
others.
The third was once Fritz Kreis-
ler's and this artists recordings,
which thrill the country, were made
on the instrument. Later, Bono
Rabinof became it's proud owner.
It's tone is rich, clear and full. This
instrument, considered to be one
of the rarest and most valuable in
the world today, has been nick
named "The Tiger" by Rabinof,
mainly because of the blending OF
colors on it's back, bringing wildly
to ones mind the excite beauty of
the jungle.

initial losses may be high, the

Bradley Shares
EquaI Powers
With Montgomery

SUPREM ME HEADQUARTERS
AEF, Sept l. CUP)-Field command
of the Allied armies in northern
France has bsen divided, with Lieu
tenant General Omar N. Bradley
getting equal rank with General
Sir Bernard l.. Montgomery, Gen.
eral Dwight d. Eisenhower. supreme
Allied commander, announced.
Montgomery, originally command
er of all ground forces in northern
France, now directs only the 2lst
Army group, comprising the British
Second and Canadian First armies,
while Bradley com m an d S the
American First and Third armies,
comprising the 18th Army group.
Eisenhower in announcing the
change, said it had been approved
last January-five months before
D-Day-and had been known to all
concerned since that time.
The new alignment definitely
was not a demotion for Montgom-
cry or a slap at anyone. Eisenhower
said at a press conference on his
return to supreme headquarters in
London from Normandy.
Rather, he indicated, the divided
field command became necessary
once the Allied armies had burst
out of their original Normandy
beachhead and spread out over
thousands of square miles of France.
Eisenhower said Montgomery W.
one of his closest and most loyal
friends, a man of great talents and
one who had had large share in
the Allied victories in France. He
called him one of the great soldiers
of this or any war.
Unofficial sources expected Eisen-
hower's overall command soon
would be extended to cover the Sew
enth Army moving north from the
French Riviera and now under the
Mediterranean command of General
Sir Henry Maitland Wilson.

armored infantry carriers rolled on
through the bristling fortress city
almost without a pause.
Verdun, surrounded by the graves
of tens of thousands of soldiers who
fell there in 1916, still was criss-
crossed with the trenches and
breastworks of the last war, but the
disorganized Nazis made no attempt
to stand and fight for them.
CROSS THE MEUSE
On Patton's left flank, the Amer
lean First Army swung across the
MeuSe river below Charleville and
Sedan and knitted up toward the
twin citacels at the gateway to the
Ardennes Gap. The lag in CON-
munications and the speed of the
American advance suggested that
some U. S. columns might already
have broken into the Ardennes For
est and across the Belgian frontier.
DNB said units of the First Army
turned north from Rethel in an ap-
parent enveloping sweep around Sc
dan and drove up % miles to the
VervinS area, l512 miles west of
the Belgian border.

to the Post-Press newspapers. City
officials were nonplussed when it

atives of players and promises of

Atherton then was appointed
commissioner to carry out the re-

gave the league a new reputation

In the fall of 1910 he boldly cited
