land ability to develop the ideas

measure OF praise should go te
his accompanist, Adolph Baller:
whose mastery OF the piano notably
surpassed the technical exigencies
of the sonata and enabled him to
concentrate on its spiritual contents.
Without his understanding support
the effect, and especially that in
the variations, would have been in

One can hardly imagine greater

than between Beethoven's work and

Appropriate to the present era, al
though composed some time ago, the
work reflects the Romarlian native
character of music as conceived by
the composer, however, who boldly
paints sorrow and momentary for

Gordon Four Give
Second Program
In Music Festival
By ALICE EYERSMAN.

For the second program of the
American Music Festival in the
National Gallery of Art quartet
works of modern design were pre-
sented by the Gordon String Quar-
tet. First performances have ap-
parently been the aim in giving
this comprehensive glance at the
output of native composers and last
night these included Eric Della
marters Quartet No. ! in G ma
jor" and Richard Bales Quartet in
D major" with Bernard Wagenaar's
quartet No. 2" being introduced
here on this program. The only
familiar work was Loeff1er's Music
for -Four Stringed Instruments"
When the members of the Cor
don unit present unknown COM
positions they are given as clear
and understanding a performance
as could be desired. These excel
lent musicians are students of the
new and bring considerable thought
as we'll as the benefit of their
splendid technical resources to
their difficult task. For the hear
Ing Of contemporary music de-
ponds greatly on the manner in
which 1t is played for the listener
to have as good cursory idea as
possible.
The arrangement of the program
was in somewhat of crescendo of
Importance unsteady. Mr.. Della
marter's Quartet is a pleasant work
making few demands in analysis
and employing many melodies re-
miniscent of Dvorak and it's three
movements. Loeff1er's work was the
least successfully presented of the
four, the artists striking neither
depth or convincing fervor in play
ing it.
The attention first was caught
and held with the Bales Quartet.
The composer has also used folk
tunes as basis but those with an
early American flavor which he
Utilities to the best advantage. It's
particular charm begins to unfold
In the second movement which is
followed by delightful Scherzo and
concludes in spirited fashion. His
writing is unusually expert for the

by the modern filigrees with which |
he surrounds it. 1t is a work that |
rightfuIly can be called American |
in the first place and, secondly, !
intriguing enough to warrant a |
second nearing.
Wagenaar's Quartet might be con-
sidered the climax of the program
because of its more complicated and
dramatic character. Its somber hue
is seldom relieved except for mo-
ments in the Scherzo and at times,
as in the Largo, becomes over
weighted. The composer has some
thing to say and says it with inten-
sity yet it has its weak spots that
are let-downs from which he has
difficulty in extricating himself.
The four artists, Jacques Gordon

Mukden. The Nips moved in. In 1892 they made Manchuria a regency under the ex-Chinese emperor Put Vi, and two years later they made Pu-Yi emperor of 'Manchukuo." Manchuria now was Japanese. Rus sia had been elbowed out of the Chinese picture.
 Siberia, far from European Rus sia and much underdeveloped, felt the threat of Japanese troops just across the Manchurian border. Mos- COW feared that Jap operations on the mainland were preludes to att tacks on Vladivostok and the Soviet maritime regions. So Russian troops had to be maintained in Siberia even during the darkest hours of the defense against Germany; and the border clashes that for several years had seemed to threaten a new Russo o-JapaneSe war were suspended while both nations attended to more pressing, if not more important | fighting.
 But the fundamental conflict that has kept the two nations at swords points ever since Japan became strong enough to show her teeth re- mained unsettled. It was, in fact, more troublesome than ever. It will be eliminated only when Japan is finally removed from the list of world powers and becomes, once more a secondary insular empire of limited and carefully regulated mili- tary potentiality.

Cadet Nurse Scholarship Wins Praise
 112,000 Making
 Use of U. s.
 Corps Plan

Cadet Nurses enrolled in the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps 90 days be- fore the declared termination of hostilities will receive the benefits of the Corps until their graduation, according to Corps Director Lucille Petry, of the U. s. Public Health Service.
 Cadet Nurses enrolled less than 90 days will be members of the Corps for the number of days be- tween their date of joining and the end of the war, she went on to say in a statement today. They will re- ceive from Federal funds all the benefits of the Corps which were due them during that period, but vii receive no payments from Fed eral funds which will have been due them after the date of the termina- tion of hostilities.
 Since most of the expense en- tailed in attending nursing school is usually incurred near admission time, this method of termination of the Corps benefits is particularly lenient one, Miss Petry pointed out. The number of students to with draw from schools of nursing be- cause of their inability to meet fln- ancial requirements is expected to be extremely low.
 More than 112000 Cadet Nurses are now taking advantage of the all-expense scholarships provided by the Corps, which is administered under the U. s. Public Health Serv- ice. Before July, 1946, 60,000 more student nurses are expected to join the Corps. Enrolment are open to women between the ages of IT or IS and 35, who are high school grad uateS.
 Prospective Cadet Nurses are urged to investigate the possibilities of entering fall classes immediate ly. There are still few opportun- ities in the schools of nursing in Connecticut.

MayorLear,s OfRole Played ByLate Uncle
coptoin Thomos A. Shonohon, Home From Philippines, Tells Story of War Time Activities

Mayor John s. Monagan learned this morning that his uncle, Rev. Joseph Mulry, s. J., who died in Los Banos prison camp, Philippines, early this year. played a prominent part in sustaining the morale of the Philippine populations during the many years of Japanese occupation.
 His informant was Captain Thomas A. Shanahan, Lounsbury street, U. s. Army chaplain and a close friend of Father Mulry, now on convalescent leave from Lowell General hospital, Fort Devens, Mass. The Waterbury priest return ed from the Philippines last May for medical treatment.
 Taught Philosophy
 During the many years he served as professor of philosophy at Ateneo-de-Manila, Father Mulry be- came a prominent figure in the Phil ippine islands, Father Shanahan told the mayor. For some time before the Japanese invasion early in 1942, Father Mulry lectured throughout the islands.
 The Jesuit priest enjoyed a large acquaintance among the civic lead- CTS, Father Shanahan said, and his personal advice was sought by members of the resistance move ment during the time the Jap- anese flag flew over the islands. His confidence in the return of Gen. Douglas MacArthur never wavered. though the populace often became discouraged and impatient during the years.
 Father Mulry was first interned at Fort Santiago, which was de- scribed by the Waterbury priest as "the worst Japanese prison on the islands"
 Hoping to obtain vital informa- tion, Father Mulry was subjected to the severest methods of incar- ceration for three long months. When all attempts by the enemy to gain such information proved futile, the priest was transferred to Los Banos concentration camp where he died of natural causes early in the year.
 Organized Faculty
 Father Mulry was first assigned to the Philippines in 1924, and im- mediately took an active part in organizing Ateneo- eo-de-Manilo Uni yersity. which had a short time previously been acquired from the Spaniards. It eventually became one of the leading universities in the Philippines.
 Father Mulry was native of New York City. His father, Thomas Mulry, was one of the leading organizers of Catholic charities in that diocese.

Gas Rutioninq [Moy Stop

Washington, Aug. 10 = (UP) - Government and industry experts said today that gasoline rationing may end almost immediately-pos- sibly within AS hours-after Japan surrenders.
 Once full-scale war operations end it was said. the flow of mili- tary gasoline, fuel oil and other petroleum products to the Pacific will dwindle to a comparative trickle and the long civilian drought will be over.
 Still Unknown The Petroleum Administration for War, the government agency most
 closely connected with the oil situa- tion, was silent on the probable end of rationing. Other reliable sources
 however, pointed out that gasoline was now being produced at an all time record rate and that sud- den drop in military demands would create storage problem. Fuel oil rationing also will be
 relaxed, soon after the war, but there were no predictions as to a date on which it will be lifted.

Army Hero Joins Camp Huzen Stoff
 Greenwich Coptoin
 Completed 54 Air
 Missions

Chester, Conn, Aug. 10-Capt. Har- old Lynch of Greenwich, much be- decked bombardier hero who was shot down on his 54th air mission over brenner Pass and escaped af- ter several weeks in prisoner Of far camp, has joined the staff of Camp Hagen. the State Y.M.C.A. Camp, it was announced today by Director William R. Wright.
 The Captain, wearer of the distin- guished flying cross, silver star, air medal with six oak leaf clusters, purple heart, and presidential ci- tation with an oak leaf cluster, re- turned only recently from Europe. He is on furlough. He had several close calls, but two memorable ex- periences stand out in his mind. both of them occurring during the five weeks he and a companion lit- erally fought their way back to the American line, Capt. Lynch arriving thirty pounds lighter than when he started.
 The first close call for Capt. Lynch and his companion occurred when he and his friend, who were quite sick, decided to sleep out in the sun hoping it would make them feel better. They had a German blanket with them and they covered themselves up to their chins with it. "In a little while. two German soldiers came by," relates the Cap tain. "They stopped and looked down and asked "Schlafen?" (sleep- ing)? When I replied Va they smiled and went to the nearby stream to swim. Several other Ger man boys and men joined them, and after they had finished swim ming, they came by again to smile at US. was frightened while all this was going on that my companion would wake up and say something in English to give us away. but all went well"
 Their most ironic escape took place later when they stumbled into an ammunition and stores dump and were stopped by a guard with a levelled rifle. He mistook them, however, for refugees-which they were in a sense-and directed them to a refugee column march ing off into the distance.
 q had told them we were pris- oners of war;" smiles Capt. Lynch ''but the guard apparently misun- derstood, and it being dark, thought my companion and were just two refugees"
 Capt. Lynch's wife is from Crom' well, near Middletown.
 Camp Hagen heads for the fina two weeks of its eight-week 25tl anniversary season on Saturday with some two hundred Connecti cut boys on hand.
