WORLD
 of MUSIC

On repeated hearing, the im- precision grows that Victor's Boris Godounoff," an album of six 12- inch records of excerpts from Moussorgsky's operatic master piece, is magnificent recording, probably the most outstanding since the ending of the Petrillo ban. It stars Alexander Kipnis, Russian bass of the Metropolitan Opera, whose stage version of the role is famous. The all-important choral parts are sung by the Victor Chorale, trained by Robert Shaw. who created the Collegiate Chorale, and the Victor Symphony Orchestra makes its appearance under Nicolai Berezowsky. This is victor's 1.000th Red Seal album and is the first American recording in Russian of Boris Godounoff." The chorus learned the Russian text syllable by syllable and does highly cred- itable job. The album contains most of the big scenes from the opera. Musically it is tops and mechan- ically joy.
 Another version of Boris" along the same lines has just been brought out by Columbia in an al- bum of five 12-inch records, with Ezio Pinza, the Metropolitan Opera chorus and orchestra under Emil Cooper. This one is sung in Ital- ian. Its chief appeal probably will be to the admirers of Pinza. who are many.
 Two interesting piano recitals are offered by Victor in albums of three i2-inch records each. One is by Vladimir Horowitz, called "A Vladimir Horowitz Program" and the other, Plano Music of De- pussy" by Artur Rubinstein. Horo- witz plays the Saint-Saens 'Danse Macabre," Czerny's variations on the aria La Ricordanza" and Tchaikovslxy's "Dumka." Rubinstein does the following Debussy num- bers: Evening in Granada" Gar dens in the Rain," Reflections in the Water" Homage to Rameau," "doldfish." and ''L.a Plus Que Lente" waltz. Both are performed by mas ters of the plano. The instrument, always difficult to reproduce in rec ords, sounds c little more natural in the Rubinstein album. The vig- orous Horowits technique produces some rather tinny effects.
 Some other recent albums of note include Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony, done with vigor and mu- sicianship by Artur RodEinsli and the New York Philharmonic phony fVletor; six 12-inch ree0fdsl :; RascI's "naphnis and ohlop" suiip

Prayer For Victory

O God of Destiny! Our nation still bleeding from the wounds of war, Thanks Thee for the Victory of this hour Won by our valiant dead Our soldiers blood, Our countrys tears. We were not alone when we groped through the
 night of war, When we drank the cup of grief, Thou Lord God of Hosts, were with us For we were with Thee. o God of Mercy! Thou didst become our shield and sword When laWless nations rose against us Thou oidst save us, By Thy power that works in justice, By Thy compassion upon our passion O God of Nations! Thou hast buded this nation in a vast wilderness, Quickening it with the blood of many peoples Thou hast nurured us in a chosen lana Potent with the riches of the earth Thou hast made into mighty nation Loving peace yet terrible in war. O God of Law! Thy laws are force, ruling planet and plant, Dispcsing all things nightly and gently Thy laws are light guiding mems hearts and
 minds By the measure of Thy Laws nations and men wax
 and wane, For what they SOW, they also reap. Thou wilt not be mocked, O God Of Law. Make us to know and to obey Thy Will. O God of Justice Repent not making of us an instrument Of right, Spending blood spilng it freely, curblng mad
 nations; But grant that in Victory not offend Thy jus
 tice By revenge, shining against mercy, By hate destroying also ourselves, Turning upon ourselves the wrath of Thy judg-
 ment o God of Peace! We thank Thee that the clouds of lifting, We pray Thee that the peace that come be Thy
 peace, Thy peace, which alone is our good, A peace in obedience to Thy laws. Thou callest us To feed the hungry, To clothe the naked. To defend mans rights And Gods rights And in that service. To win back mans hearts 10 Thee. And make man worthy of Thy trust in him By mans trust in Thee.

Regrettable Incident

Now that the full facts have been learned as to the actions of the Associ- ated Press Correspondent Edward Ken nedy breaking the confidence of his fel- low newspapermen and the Allied Head- quarters in releasing the news of the Ger man equalization before the agreed time, we can only view his actions as one of shameful disregard for the ethics and good-faith of journalism.
 Fifty-nine of his colleagues represent Ing the leading news sources of the world have gone on record as describing his action as the most disgraceful, deliber- ate and unethical double-cross in the history of journalism. Kennedy and the Associated Press, whom he repre- scented, released the story of the Ger man surrender though he and the rep resentatives of the other news agencies had been sworn to secrecy by General Allen until the agreed time.
 Such disregard for ethics and the common pledge of good faith which has been perpetuated by all accredited news papermen throughout this war Wlll m the words of these correspondents pro- testing the mans action, "cOmpletely undermine any sense of responsibility on the part of correspondents to abide by or respect in the future any rules or regulations of the armed forces'.
 It is a matter for sincere regret that this one man and his superiors have sullied the notable record of responsible journalistic practice adhered to by all other correspondents during the wars prosecution. The field of journalism Tn this country, has ardently sought to overcome any onus of irresponsibility certain individuals brought upon it in years past The tactics of the AP through this representative have again saddled the press with a dubious label.
 This was not matter of a journa- listic scoop. Proof that a pledge was broken is contained in the words Of General Allen in addressing the cores pondents in whom he placed his confl- dence-one of whom was the AP repre- sentative-'This story is off the record (the German surrender) until the re- spective heads of the Allied governments announce the fact to the world. l there fore pledge each and everyone of you on your honor, not to communicate the results .. until released by SHAEF'.
 One man broke that pledge, thereby double his own colleagues and smearing them as members of the press, with the taint of his own malpractice.

Intolerance in Sheep's Clothing

! Never in the history of this nation have members of the medical profession and the sciences had to spend so much time discussing matters of political signifi- cance Some look upon the distraction of these men from their work as a sign ] of progress, of social consciousness although in the past when scientific studies have been diluted with political controversy it has always been consid- cred blight. Why is it so different now?
 History books record the barbaric dogmas and autocratic oppression that hampered the great men of science ln ages past We all realize that rAo. ....4yisi.s. would be far ahead of where it is today if intolerance had not interfered with the free pursuit of scientific research.
 For over a century, science in this country has worked in uninterrupted freedom Medical men in the United States, up to now, have never had to give a thought to political questions. Th2ir efforts centered one-hundred-per-ce on the technical business of making people healthy They have felt secure in their freedom, under our form of government so secure that they are stunned when they realize the picture has changed and that government is no longer protection but . menace.
 Proposals to make government the master of medicine in blind grab for medical Utopia, are simply a new form of intolerance. The age-old struggle Of science against ignorance and abuse is raging again and we call it social" progress!
