Symphony
Splendid
By CHARLES GENTRY

ALTHOUGH la S T nights
concert -naS- scheduled as the final
one I'm the Thursday evening sub
Scription events. the Detroit SYM
phony Orchestra VIII offer three
more Thursday night concerts in a
poSt-Season series IN Masonic
Auditorium
However. this was the 20th in
the series and proved to be a
really moving conclusion for the
regular subscribers who were
treated 20 a straight orchestral
program.
Karl Kruger directed the con-
cert which included three offer
ings which have been presented
previously this SeaSon-two of
which have been recorded-though
not together.
The first half of the program
was devoted 10 a performance of
the Tschaikowsky Sixth Sym
phony, which our orchestra does
with tremendous feeling.
kruger and -egr- orchestra play
with a kind Of sympathetic great
ness which never lends itself 10
either the obvious or the maudlin
FINE PERFORMANCE
While we prefer to hear the
march movement, the third, played
a little faster. we must admit that
the contrast of the first. which is
in a variation of tempocS, and the
second were beautifully done,
while the fourth. which is scored
"lamentoSo, gave our string sec
tions a dignity without tears,
which we have seldom faced
The last half of the program
included excerpts from Wagners
Die Gotterdammerung." includ-
ing Siegfrieds Rhine Journey and
the Death music and Funeral
march.
These were so eloquently per-
formed that we can't quite UNDER
stand Why they chose 10 close
with the Second "Daphnis and
Chloe" Suite of Ravel.
The "Getterdammerung" seIee-
tions march with such a kind Of
inevitable conclusion that the
average ear, naturally, expects
the program 10 end with the
Immolation scene and the Trans
fipuTatlOn Music.

UNFINISHED SYMPHONY

Even if we have heard il earlier
in the season with Miss Marjorie
Lawrence as the soloiSt in the
Rrunnhilde role, it could easily
bear an orchestral repeat since
the other numbers on the pro-
gram have all been done before.
But the "DaphniS and Chloe, I"
following on top of the Siegfried
Funeral March, seemed defi-
nitely anti-climactic, despite the
fact that il was as magnificently
read as it was on the previous
occasion.
To conclude a final concert
which offered the "Pathetique"
and the colossal passages of Cot
terdammerung" with ballet
suite, seemed a little like saying
"Whee, the gods are dead, let's
have fun.
1t was certainly one Of the very
few instances of bad program
ming which we've had TO face this
year And it is doubly irritating
because everything which was
presented last night was so well
that il deserved better

Senators Say Army
Is Releasing Surplus
Doctors Too Slowly
By the Associated Press.

6s Luc ASSOCldteu FEeSS.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado says the Army is taking
"a leisurely attitude" toward re-
leasing doctors who, he said, are
urgently needed to minister to civil
fans.
Other members of a Military At
fairs Subcommittee also complained
that the Army has a surplus of doc
tors, and that it should speed up
their return to regular practice.
Brig. Gen. Robert w. Berry, rep
reSenting the War Department, yes
terday disclosed plans to release
1000 doctors by next May, but he
insisted, under committee prodding,
that he was unable to guarantee
earlier rehabilitation of all of them
Some sort of priority might be
worked out to hasten their return
from Europe, he said, pledging to
do all we can to get them out as
soon as possible"
Calls Problem Tremendous.
He cautioned, however, that a
tremendous logistics problem is in
volved in the transfer of troops to
the Pacific, and said the Army has
ito keep the pressure on Japan"
Senator Johnson, demanding the
prompt release of these 1000 doc
tors" declared that "the leisurely
attitude of the Army toward this
problem is something that this COM
mittee ought not to accept lying
down"
While Gen. Berry denied that the
Army'S approach was leisurely,"
Senator johnson said that was "the
right word" and complained that
nothing has happened" since We
day to bring about the doctors re-
lease.
Senator Downey, Democrat, of
California, committee chairman and
sponsor of the probe of comparative
Army and civilian medical services,
said testimony that "the Army is
way overstaffed with doctors in Eu-
rope" will be presented later.
Civilian Service Inadequate.
He asserted that medical service
for civilians is totally inadequate"
that doctors in civilian practice are
suffering from fatigue and strain"
and that people are dying because
of inability to obtain doctors.
Testimony at the hearing brought
out that the Army, Navy and Vet
Grams Administration now have
about $4,000 doctors, compared to
$4,000 in active civilian practice.
Gen. Berry said that on June 81
the War Department radioed the
commanders in the European and
Mediterranean areas, suggest
ing they could spare some doctors
in view of the reduced load" after
We day.
The commander of the European
theater, he said, replied in effect
that he could see no possibility of
giving us these additional people
Immediately" Gen. Berry added,
however, 1--WE are not going to ac-
cept that as a final reply"

QUALITY 4 POSTWAR
SELLING JOB

4 return to quality. and proper
rewards for quality, will be one OF
the tough jobs facing agriculture
after the war, declares Country
Gentleman.
AS result of scarcity and cell
ine prices, all butter has become
Just butter in the universal scra1n-
BILE for it. The same is true, to a
somewhat lesser degree of eggs.
Apple growers recently complained
that ceiling prices tend to become
fixed as the accepted price for all
APPLES. As a result lower price for
all apples. As d result lower grades
have hlacked up. because they do
not reach the market at price
at which the prudent housewife
will buy them.
The normal price spreads nc
longer prevail for different grades
OF livestock. Because of price EN-
phaSis on weight, the production OF
poor milling and baking varieties
of wheat has tended TO increase il
the hard-Wheat areas. When the
wars end brings back customary
price differentials. the growers o.
these varities are certain to be
penaliZed.
But restoring the rightful com
pensation for superior produce
will not he so easy for some Other
producers. They will face the tasl
of selling the worth of quality tC
! consumers all over again.
