Soviet Resisfs Pleas
OF Allied War Writer'S
10 Enter Balkan Area

American insistence upon freedom,
Of news reporting in European areas
freed OF German domination has
struck q snag in Balkan countries
within the sphere OF Russian opera
tons.
Dispatches from Rome reported
yesterday that public relations Of
ncers at Allied headquarters said
prolonged negotiations have failed
to gain access for American and
British correspondents Is q group
to any Of the Balkan countries ex-
cept Greece.
Acting Secretary Of State Grew
told a news conference here that
this Government had asked from
the beginning that the principle be
accepted for American correspond
ents to be admitted freely into the
Balkan countries.
AS the matter now stands, Mr..
Grew added, the Soviet government
prefers to consider separately each
application for entry Of q CORE
spondent into country where the
Allied Control Commission Is headed
by Soviet representative.
Such applications are being sup
ported vigorously by the State De-
partment, he said.
Indications that similar news re-
porting difficulties may be faced
when Germany is occupied are seen
in reports that no agreement has
yet been reached with the Russians
for uniform treatment of Allied
correspondents.

Fair and W'igent
Give Recital
BY ELEAN de SAYN.

The recital for cello and piano by
George Fair and John Wigent, both
Of the United States Navy, attracted
an interested audience to the
Phillips Gallery last night. The
piece de resistance Of the program
was unquestionably Dohnanyi's
rarely heard Sonata OPP. g." not
only because 1t was the most pre-
tentious work Of the three major
compositions presented, but also
because greater care seemed to have
been allotted by the artists to the
details Of the ensemble.
Profoundly Influenced by Brahms,
serious and endowed with q natural
harmonic gift for melody, Dohnanyi
has written several highly success
full opuses, Of which the cello and
piano sonata heard yesterday is
one. Mr.. Fairs forte Is broad
cantabile tone, the pleasing quality
of which Is at Its best In parts
where sweep and breadth are re-
quired, such as Allegro ma non
troppo" Of the sonata, the "Adagio''
In Boccherint's Concerto in B fiat
Major" and the "Adagio" from
Galuppi's Sonata In D Major" ar
ranged by Jessie Fair, the opening
number on the program.
While the work of both per-
formers was somewhat rough IN
spots, possibly due to nervousness,
they gave evidence of a solid
foundation. The recital was con-
cluded with group Of three shorter
cello soil: Weber's "Adagio and
Rondo," transcribed by Piatigorsky;
Haydn's "Minuet" and Frescobaldi' s
"Toccata," arranged by Cascade.
