WASHINGTON, Jan. IL - (P
49, Congressional ideas on how
to handle men who won't work
or fight shifted today toward
criminal penalties, rather than
the use of such men in military
work battalions.
This developed amid signs of
delay i'm consideration of limited
national service legislation
Chairman May (D-Ky), who
earlier had set today as the last
day for hearings on his work or
fight bill aimed at men between
Is and 45, said that further pub
lie hearings have been scheduled
by the house military committee
for next week.
On Monday the committee
will hear spokesman for the
American Federation of Labor.
On Tuesday il will listen to
Philip Murray. head of the Clio,
whose organization will deter
mine its stand on the bill at a
meeting tomorrow.
Today's witness schedule was
headed by 1t. Gen. William S.
Knudsen, the army's production
"trouble shooter"
May reported that many men,
berS Of his committee believe the
army-navy work units proposed
in his measure (for men who re-
fuse to accept or retain jobs
necessary in the war effort
should not be set up.
Instead, he explained, there is
growing sentiment for legisla-
ton TO make these men liable
TO the penalties now provided
by the draft law fine OF
$4,000 and five years imprison-
ment if they will neither
work nor fight.
"While I believe, as do other
members, that some punishment
must be provided, I am not
welded to the proposal to create
these work units May said in
an interview.
Judge Patterson (Robert p.
Patterson. undersecretary of
war; testified that the army does
not want or need the units al
though IL IS willing to accept
them.

An amendment to effect the
change has been drafted by
Rep. Kilday (D-TeXO.
Kilday also has written
amendments to extend benefits

ment priority protection of the
draft law to men who are draft

amendments are necessary.
"After ALL" he commented,
"men classified AZ or given &C.
cupational deferments were put
in those classes by their local
draft boards. These men, who
will be the ones affected by my
bill, should be protected as much
as anyone else when, in compli-
ance with directions of their
draft boards, they change their
jobs to contribute more fully
TO the war effort"

The Philadelphia Orchestra play
ed its last concert Of the season
here last night without its an
nounced soloist. Helen Traubel.
Americas foremost Wagnerian 80
prano Of the Metropolitan Opera
was too Ill to appear and her num-
bers on the all-Wagner program
were replaced by other orchestral
excerpts from the operas. Harl Mac
Donald, manager Of the orchestra,
made the announcement before the
concert began.
The change caused . rearranSe-
ment Of the program, the overture
and venusberg music from 'Tann-
hauser" being substituted for the
overture to die Meistersinger," as
opening number, followed by the
prelude" and "Liebestod" from
Tristan and Isolde" The two ex-
cerpts from Die Goetterdaemme-
rung," "Siegfried's Rhine Journey"
and "siegfried's Death and Funeral
Music" and Introduction to Act
Ill.," Dance Of the Apprentices"
and Entrance Of the Mastersins-
ers" from die Meistersinser" con-
cluded the program.
The conducting Of Eugene Or
mandy was more than directing. It
was sculpturing Of great drama, and
as the waves Of Wagner's mu2ic
rolled over the audience 1t copied
the sea In It's mighty thunder or its
gentle ripples. This was not Wag-
merriam playing Of massed sound, but
deliberate construction with sum-
cient time for Z full appreciation Of
the enormous amount Of detail, OF
the striking contrasts and, above all,
Of the unsurpassed genius that used
his tonal palette with such extraodi-
nary acumen and with such vivid
results.
From the first notes Of the "Tann-
hauser" overture to the wild inten-
sity Of the Venusberg music. the
building up step by step Of this
gripping scene was . masterpiece.
Again, In "Siegfried1 Death and
Funeral Music" Mr.. Ormandys
poised consideration created the no.
binty and fatefulness Of this mo-
ment in the opera with profound
effect. The audience was caught up
in the richness Of sound, in its de-
scriptive clarity and enormous pow
er rs rarely before.
