We shall probably see no inno- Vations in bidding ct the fall ses- sion of the national championships tournament in Atlantic City, Dec. 10. In my opinion. we may aritici. pate just good sound bidding, Many outstanding experts have been Serv- Ing with the armed forces during the past few years and have had no time to develop anything new in bridge.
 Many of the experts probably will use the Blackwood four-five no-trump convention, but only when it's use Is obvious The bidding shown on today's hand is without the use Of Biackwood. SouthB hand is strong enough to jump to five spades, but what should North do7 If he bids six spades, the opponents will cash the ace and king of clubs. If the Blackwood bid Of four no.trufnp is employed over three spades, North, with no aces will respond with i've clubs. Now South, will know that six spades would Dc unwise. Even fl North held the king of clubs, the ace might be wrong, and II North held the king and queen oi clubs, he probably would have Did four spades over three diamonds.

Hall and invited the critics to listen.
 The works played were chosen from the many submitted to the Philharmonic-Symphony Society with possible future performance in view. They were:
 PaSsacaglia and Fugue, by Wal lingford Riegger; Second Symphony by John Verrall; Music for Sym phony Orchestra, by Arthur Kreutz; Dance Overture, by Vincent Per- sichetti, and Third Symphony, by Stanley Bate.
 THE British Halle Orchestra under John Barbirolli is engaged III 17-day tour of France and Bell gium, which includes performances for Allied troops as well as appear anceS in concert halls. Cities and towns on the itinerary include Brussels, Eindnoven, Nijmegen, Ghent, Lille, Amiens and Tilburg.
 ROBERT CASADESUS, pianist, WllO IS HOW On dH aIuludl concert tour which will include a Carnegie Hall recital on Jan. 3l, reports re- ceipt of word from France that his- toric F'ontainebleau has not been seriously harmed by the war, with damage which can be easily re- paired having been done to the part of the chateau occupied by the American Conservatory.
 CasadeSus, who has tried to keep the Fontainebleau idea alive in this country during tine war years, says he looks forward ito the great day, home in France" when Fontaine- bleau will resound again to a post war invasion of vital young Amer ican students, as it did in the 1920s.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-01-04

Speakers included Aaron Cop- land Abram Chasins, John Erskine, William Schuman, Erich Leinsdorf and others. In Q keynote address, Composer Chaslns said much con- fusion hinges on a musical legend which has gained unjustifled pres tige as a fact-that most geniuseS are so far in advance of their time that only a few of their contempo- raries understand them.
 The plain man is the one who eventually must determine whether music lives or dies, Chasins argued. In every period he has had a pretty accurate idea as to which com- poSers were the great ones, and in the overwhelminging majority of cases the very men whom we recog- ni7e today as the towering figures of their time were so appraised when they lived.
 Tt Is improbable that the whole world must wait another 50 or 100 years before it is capable of grasp ing the message of contemporary composers" Chasirs declared. This is already borne out by the fact that our concert programs arc crowded with the names of men who are still alive-SibeliuS Stravinky, Richard Strauss, Prokof1eff, ShoS- takovich, and many others.
 History shows, I think, that contemporary judgment is better because 1t is not blinded by the halo that surrounds the past. The obligation of the listener is to listen and then not be subject to any dic- tatorial pressure as to wha he should or should not like"
 Copland also deprecated too much emphasis on the music of the past as the sole criterion of excellence. He said:
 Music lovers must somehow be weaned from the idea that 1t is only the music of the great dead that is worth their time and money The conventionality of the typical concert and radio program is de- plorable and depressing. The master works of the 18th and 18th centuries have been converted into potent drug that renders the great major iy of presen-day music lovers tn- sensitive to any other kind of musi- cal expression. We want to put the public in touch with the composers of their own time.'
 
 An illustration of the efforts which are being made by conductors of leading orcheStras to insure a hearing for worthwhile new music was afforded by Artur Rodzinski, musical director of the New York Philharmonic Symphony, who held an afternoon long reading re- hearsar of new scores at Carnegie

STRAND

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is presenting at the Strand Theater, is a film of epic proportions.
 Climaxed by the famous Amer. ican bombing of Tokyo, it relates the glorious personal romance of Ted and Ellen Lawson, the man who takes part in adventure so dar- ing, and the woman who waits for his return.
 A star no less than Spencer Tracy was chosen to portray the celebrat- ed Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle, leader of the historic raid Lawson himself is portrayed by Van Johnson; Corporal Thatcher by Robert Walker, and Ellen Lawson by Phyllis Tha ter.

The mystery story rates tops among the hardly perennials of the screen.
 But few--if any--such films have dared wander as far from the straight and narrow of conventional mystery films as has goth Fox's Laura" the story of a strange and perilous experiment in love-and murder-which stars Gene Tierney Dana Andrews and Clifton Webb and opened yesterday at the Loew Poli theater.

 Waldo Lydecker, the critic, is played by Clifton Webb. It is a sharp characterization, notable for its pungent lines, and comparable to the part in "The Man Who Came to Dinner" which brought Webb new stage fame.
 Mark McPherson, the detective, played by Dana Andrews, is as starting a character as the famous Nick Charles of The Thin Man" fame and much more romantically inclined. He is in sharp contrast to the charming, lady -beguiling weak ling, Shelby Carpenter, played by Vincent Price. Judith Anderson as

1943.
This hitherto secret chapter Of
the battle Of the Atlantic was re-
vealed as the navy announced that
the u. S. Tenth Fleet. organized
in 1943 to direct the fight against
the U-boats, had been dissolved.
In a report on the activities of
German minelaying submarines In
American waters, the navy said
that five mines were swept from
the entrance to New York Harbor
during the period from Nov. 13 to
21. 1912, and that for the three
day period, Nov. 13 to IS, the port
Of New York was bottled up, with
no traffic moving In or out.
The entrance to Chesapeake Bay
was twice closed to traffic, the
first time from June 16 to II, 1912,
and again from Sept. II to IA,
1912.
Other ports closed for short Pc
riods because of German mines
were Jacksonville, Fla; Charles
ton. S. c.. and Wilmington, Del.
These closings all occurred in the
fall of 1912, and Charleston was
again closed for the same reason
for two days in September, 1943.

caused a number of minor sit
down strikes. Company officials
said the union so far has not told
them Of any grievance.
A company spokesman said that
most of the workers evidently did
not know what the strike was
about when work was halted yes
terday.
The strike apparently was
set for 2 p. m.," he said, "but
about 90 per cent Of the work.
ers stood around until 1880, de-
manding to know why they
werc striking"
SKELETON PICKET LINE
The strikers have thrown a
skeleton picket line around the
plant, but maintenance men and
furnace tenders have been per-
mitted TO continue work.
Internal dissension in .the union
has been caused, ii was reported,
by publication of a statement by
J. Z. Fink,s vice president in
charge of operations OF Great
Lakes Steel.
He was quoted as saying that
2,700 employees of the company
would soon be returning from
service and men more recently
hired would have lesser seniority
and would be let 60.
This statement was quoted
from Fink's letter to Rep. John
LesinSki about the Negro housing
project in Ecorse Township. Lesin-
ski read the letter to President
Truman in arguing against the
project.
