WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. - The
White House revealed today that
President Truman will make
probably the most important
speech of his career tomorrow in
Navy Day ceremonies at New
York's Central Park. It will deal
with foreign policy.
He will tell the nation and the
world just where the United States
stands on international matters.
The 25-minute address, to be
broadcast over all U. S. netv 'rks
beginning at 1870 p. m. (EST), will
be lengthy definition of the United
States position in world>affairs and
will be directed as much at the
American people as at those
abroad.
His up-to-date exposition of U. S.
foreign policy is expected to clari-
fy the recent troubled u. Sirius
sian relationc which deteriorated
with the failure of the London For.
eign Ministers conference.
Wh il e House Secretary Eben
Ayres said the speech will be
probably the most important

came President last April IL.

There is an old tradition that
certain music is composed for
dancing. Not that this reporter is
stark rebel, but the tradition
is wrong. Dancing, instead, is de-
vised to pictorialize the music.
There is no doubt about this, as
any of the eleven hundred odd
persons who witnessed the per-
Torrance of Marina Svetlova and
her agile aides, Alexis Dolinoff
and Elena Imaz, in the initial con-

the high school auditorium last
night, will cheerfully testify.
For example, we have never
been able to understand what
Massenet had in mind when ne
wrote the, That's Meditation, or
Mendelssohn his Spring Song.
