LAND IN NATIONAL FORESTS

In a move designed to give en- couragement to postwar business and industrial development in the Territory, Delegate Bartlett has introduced a bill increasing the maximum area of tracts which can be leased in the national forests of Alaska from five to eighty acres, with the exception of sum mer home tracts.
 At the present time, leases for tracts in national forests are con- fined to five acres "for the con- struction of summer homes, ho- tels, stores and other structures, needed for creation of public con ven ence." Delegate Bartlett's amendatory measure enlarges the uses for which leases for land tracts can be granted by the Sec retary of Agriculture to include hospitals, orphanages, churches. hunting and fishing clubs, public garages, machine shops, ship-re- pair yards, marine ways, fish packing establishments, wood working plants, mineral and peat processing plants, fuel-oil storage and distributing stations, bus sta tions, and airplane landing fields. The bill also provides that the five-acre restriction can be in- creased to eighty acres with the exception of summer home tracts.
 The bill would also eliminate the present provision of one tract to one person or concern, except in the case of summer home sites. VISITORS

Wargo Returns
As SOlOiSt in
Violin Recital
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

Only In recent years has the
viola come into prominence as q
solo instrument and belonging to its
small coterie Of exponents is George
Wargo, recitalist at the National
Gallery Of Art last night. Miksa
Merson assisted the artist at the
piano.
Well remembered as a prominent
link in smaller and larger chamber
music groups and as leader of the
viola section in the National Sym
phony Orchestra for q number of
years, Mr.. Wargo had, however,
little opportunity then to display
his individual gifts as a virtuoso in
the same measure as he did yester-
day.
Opening the program with Cor
ellis Sonata in D Minor" the
Wolist at once introduced himself
as an accomplished styhst. drawing
an exquisite cantilena from the
viola. From the point of perfect
blending with the piano, this num-
Der and the first Of the two pic
lures From Fairyland, op. 113" by
Schumann outshone the others. In
teresting in detail, but at times too
sharply defined Mr.. Merson's pian-
istic effects frequently detracted
from the value of the ensemble,
drowning the filigree passage work
Of the viola, or its counter melody.
Since last night was something
Of debut Of Mr.. Wargo as a COM
poser, his suite for viola and piano
was of special interest. Played with
an admirable technical control ano
exhausting all the resources of the
instrument, the suite, in spite Of its
modernistic idiom, is notable for
its melodic basis. It's catchy move
ments, Prelude" Dance" and
"Rondo," in which the piano plays
q part OF equal Importance, are well
contrasted by two others, th'
Choral" and Song" which permit
the enjoyment Of Mr.. Wargo's
lovely tone and sincerity Of express
sion. His work was preceded by q

The brilliant young violinist,
Patricia Travers, carried of the
honors of yesterdays concert by the
National Symphony. A wonder
child when American wonder
children were scarce. she Is now. at
the age Of II, mature artist, per-
fectly equipped technically, and q
musician Of the finest perception.
That she will be one of the shining
lights Of the exclusive artist circle
ard a credit to her training IN this
country was presaged by her super
lative playing yesterday.
Vieuxtemps' popular Concerto
No. 4" was the vehicle Of her ap-
pearance yesterday and, designed
as it is to show of the technical
2rowess of the player, displayed
her amazing mastery without a
faltering moment from start to fin-
ish. Her trills are crystal clear,
her runs pearl-like, her bowings ac-
complished in every detail, and in
tracacies, such as the triple stop
passages in the last movement OF
the concerto, child's play for her.
What cast q shadow over this
perfection of delivery was the type
Of vibrato she employs and her
tendency to scoop rather than at
tack the notes cleanly. This affect
ed to some degree the tone which
was formerly Of exceptional appeal
and seemed to prevent the lovely
legato customary in the Andante
Religioso. While using dynamics
with great skill and musicianly un-
derstanding, Miss Travers did not
follow the traditional style which,
in the first movements, permits
greater freedom and encourages
dramatic expression. Nor did the
tempo used in the second movement
create the religious atmosphere
But in the concluding sections, her
performance was scintillating with
its fleet dash and security.
