The soloist began his professional
career at the age of 10, when he
played with the Philharmonic Or
chestra of Prague. In few years he
was a familiar figure in Vienna,
Berlin, Rome and Paris, appearing
in the latter city with an orchestra
directed by his friend and former
teacher, Alfred Cortot. In Italy he
was frequently the guest of the royal
family and after a pronounced sue
cess in Brussels was presented with
watch by Queen Elizabeth with
her monogram on it.
His first American concert was in
1888. He returned three years later
after overcoming innumerable diff
culties. Many of his valuable pos
sessions including a collection of old
music manuscripts had to be left be-
hind, the artist arriving with only
a single suitcase. He has appeared
in this country as soloist with all
the leading orchestraS carrying on
the traditions of his countrymen,
Leos Janacek and Dvorak's son-in-
law, Joseph Suk. both of whom were
his teachers in composition.

President And Cabinet Members In Conference

Washington, Aug. 9-CUP)-Pres- i6ent Truman today summoned his key policy makers to White House conference with him and the men who perfected the atomic bomb.
 He Hs|d conferred earlier with two home front chiefs--War Production Board Chairman J. A. Krug and Price Administrator Chester Bowles.
 The Presidents action, apparently hastily decided on, forced indefinite postponement of War Department press conference which had been expected to produce further infor- nation for the public on the super secret atomic weapon.
 Scientists Present
 Called to the White House were Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son, and four of the men most in- timately connected with develop ment of the atomic bomb These men were:
