Food Riots l' ln Europe K
Ccontinusd from Page i)


 Coal production in the Rulir and saar has not. increased as much as l5 per cen. in the past two months. There is not a ton of coal to be had at any price in Paris, for example. Europe is definitely facing another winter of cold and hunger, wears lness and squalor. Housing de- estroyed by the war cannot be patched because there are no ma. torials at hand.
 There is not one country in Hu. rope, even Switzerland or Sweden which escaped war, which can face the winter with all It's needs. Not . single country of Europe ever has been wholly self-sufficient. Some have surplus of coal, others of food. Germany came closer than any to balanced production before the war, but that balance Is grossly upset today.
 Britain is no exception. London has just announced an immediate reduction in sugar distribution and further cut of clothing ratlons to 36 percent of the proswAr supply. For British civilians the end of the war-and the end of lend.lease- has brought still greater austerity.
 Britain Imports
 Even before the war, Britain irn- ported two-thirds of her food sup. ply and most of her industrial raw materials. She exported coal to the continent and those export markets were needed to provide currency for the food purchases abroad.
 British industry has been 100 per cent on war production since the fall of France-more than 5 years ago. America was on all-out war production for less than 3 years. To- day in Britain, 45,000 factories are turning over from war to peace pro- duction. Export mas not begun: im- ports must continue even # 1t means a drain of gold from Britain. Winter Is only two months off and Britain is without stocks.
 At two months from real winter, she prospects of Europe are poor. Housing, food and clothing all lack. This winter will be different from the past five winters only in that the fighting has stopped.

The formal indictment of 24 high ranking NaHis on a charge of con- spiracy to wage aggressive war pro- vides jurisprudence under interna- tional law which may in time be extended to those minor minions in Japanese or German prison camps who hung American prisoners by their thumbs or beat wounded and helpless fiierS with baseball bats.
 The stories which are coming back today from Omori prison camp and other black hellholes where Ameri- can prisoners, sick and wounded, were kept naked and starving. in violation of the Geneva convention, indicate a deliberate policy of mis- treatment of prisoners which will be punishable under the same jurispru- dence which Is to be applied event. ually to thousands of Nazis, under the top "A, who tortured or killed civilians and military prisoners in German camps.
 Law Against PrisOners' Abuse
 In reality there was no interna- tional law covering the case of conspiracy against peace or con- spiracy to wage aggressive war. There is an international law how ever protecting military prisoners against physical mistreatment and providing for a minimum of food and shelter. That international law Is contained in the Geneva conven- tion which Japan and Germany both signed, Both can be held &C., countable for every inhuman act against military prisoners.
 There was no written interna- tional convention governing the treatment of civilians caught in the zones of hostilities or in zones of occupation. Jurisprudence has been established, however, for those cases and It is based on the broadest hu. manitarian principles.
 No announcement has been made of the Nuremberg court procedure but 1t is reported in legal circles that the victorious Allies may con- form to French and Russian proce- dure rather than British or Ameri- can. The result would be to speed. up and harden the procedure.
 Under the Russian and French court procedure, the case is really tried before 1t begins. This pre- trial investigation by an examining magistrate is in reality the trial itself. Once the trial begins, the dee tense cannot introduce new evi- dence. It can merely sit there and listen to the report of the examin- ing magistrate being read.
 Naxi Trial Ready
 Tn the cases of the 24 top.fiight Nasis. that pre-trial investigation is ended. If the Russian and French procedure is finally used. there will be none of the loopholes of Anglo Saxon justice through. which the Nez's c1l4, eecape. The rbeenk

Musical
At U.A.

THE THEME Of "MuSic for
Millions" which opened al the
United Artists yesterday, is GER
tainly one you've heard before.
It's all about a little child who
has such faith that she not only
saves her sister, makes a SYM
phony orchestra play better but
also converts Jimmy Durante.
Margaret O'Brien is the wonder
child in this case and when she
comes 10 New York, all by her
little self, she finds that her sister,
June Allyson, who plays in a SYM
phony orchestra, is very unhappy.
June has not heard from her
husband in the South Pacific for
many months, is convinced he is
dead. The other eiriy, who play m
the orchestra, try 20 bolster her
morale, particularly since she is
going 10 have a baby, but it's
diminutive Miss O'Brien who turns
the trick by teaching Miss Allyson
how to pray.
n MlSiOAL fEl
She becomes the darling Of the
orchestra and even gets a smile
from Jose Iturbi, who is supposed
10 be very stern. We don't think
he's quite stern enough or he
wouldn't permit such ridiculous
nonsense going on in his orcheS-
ira, let alone participate in them.
When Iturbi plays the piano he's
all right. but what takes place
during the orchestra reheafsals
are almost impossible 10 believe.
The girls all act like it was a
sewing bee and they were there TO
do some fancy work on Beethoven.
The climax comes when Iturbi,
orchestra and chorus all open
Handels Messiah by playing the
"Hallelujah Chorus" first while
Margaret O'Brien looks on BEAM

Symphony Brilliant
As Season Closes Here
BY CHARLES GENTRY

KARL KRUGER brought the
Detroit Symphony season 10 a
glorious close with a program of
purely classical content last night
in Masonic Auditorium. 4
This was the last Of the post
season series and featured that
great pianist, Carl Friedberg, as
Soloist 10 climax this magnificent
musical evening.
The major portion Of the first
half of the concert was devoted
10 a powerful and compelling
reading Of the Beethoven Seventh
Symphony.
On few occasions this year has
our orchestra played with the en-
thusiasm and the vitality which
they displayed in the Beethoven
last night.
The brilliance of the first move
ment and the somber dignity of
the second Allegretto were
matched only by the spirit and
vigor of the concluding movement.
They actually played as though
they were possessed. Contagion Of
their enthusiasm quickly commu-
nicted itself 10 the capacity audi
ence which rewarded the perform
ance with prolonged applause
which should have been most
reasSuring TO Mr. Kruger. II was
really an about reading of one
of the greatest Of all symphonies.
A GREAT ARTIST
You might assume that any
thing after this might be in the
nature of an anti-climaX, but that
would only be without hearing
what Mr.. Friedberg had to play
on the subject.
Friedberg, "the man who knew
Brahms" :" appeared to perform the
solo part of the most trans
cendental of all concertos for
piano and orchestra, the Brahms
9-flat major.
This is the same work with
which he scored such a tremend-
Gus ovation last year and his
repeat last night met with equal
success,

so frail and feeble that IL is hardly
believable that he can cope with

ance is matched only by the sweet
ness of his touch. The slow third
movement. for example. was a
thing of rare sustained and con-
templative beauty, which moved
many listeners TO tears.
The most important thing about
a Friedberg performance of this
work, however, is that he plays il
in the true Brahms tradition with
full knowledge that the solo in
strument is not just a virtuoso
voice, but is an integral part of a
concerto, which is really more a
symphony for piano and or
cheStra.,
The Mozart overture of THE
Magic Flute" provided a most
suitable opener for a concert which
was altogether a thrilling success.
