Philadelphia Orchestra Opens
Winter Series With Three BS'
By Alice Eversmon

The Philadelphia Orchestra and
its many admirers = enough to fill
Constitution Hall to OVERLOOKING
met last night to start the winter
series off in gala manner. Helping
to this purpose were the selections
chosen by the orchestra's conductor,
Eugene Ormandy, who brought back
again an old-fashioned program con-
sisting of the beloved three Bs. In
these days when program planning
ranges far afield in search of variety
and novelty, it was good to revel in
the undisturbed atmosphere of the
classics.
With the progression intact, Bach
was presented first, the new tran
scription by Mr.. Ormandy of his
"Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor"
being followed by Beethoven's Sym
phony No. 8" and Brahms Sym
phony No. 4" 1t was left to Beetho-
ven to bring bit of gayety to the
concert, for Bach was at his most
grandiose and Brahms in his most
splendid mood in the chosen num-
bers.
Mr.. Ormandy, VINO returned a
month ago from a brilliant guest
conducting tour in South America,
kept the fire in these works glowing
throughout the evening. He has
made a magnificent arrangement of
the Bach, giving it, through the Or
chestral voices, the limitless gran
deur that is innate in all Bach wrote.
It is broad and rich in the "Passa-
caglia" but power is mounted on
power in the Fugue when it seemed
all was done in might and resplend-
ence long before.
The Philadelphia Orchestra is an
ensemble that can move with equal
facility and f1exibility in the alter
mating boisterousness and charm of

Beethoven's Eighth Symphony. But
as fine as was the integral playing,
the quality of tone In this work and
throughout the evening was not up
to the Philadelphians' standard. The
violins were shrill, particularly so in
the Bach "Fugue" and in the first
movement of the Brahms Symphony,
and in the Beethoven the unison
playing was ragged.
After the first movement of the
Brahms, the orchestra took on more
Of its old tone and succeeded In Civ
ing what was In many respects the
best performance Of the program.
Mr.. Ormandy not only brings out
Evening star., 1946-10-23

the dignity Of Brahms but also the
depth and beauty Of his poetic OUT
look. The program moved with an
exuberant spirit throughout and in
this, was exhilerating and inspiring.
But in the flnesse for which this
orchestra is famous, there was an
unexplainable lack. The glorious
tonal opulence of the group, how
ever, and the dear and familiar
works, brought an ovation from the
audience to conductor and men.

u. s., Britain Agree
To End BIackIistinq
OF Foreign Firms
Nearly 5000 individuals
And Concerns Affected
By Joint Decision
b. the Associated Press

The United States and Britain
have agreed to discontinue their
blacklists of thousands of foreign
firms accused of collaborating
with the Axis during the war, it
was learned last night An
official announcement is due
tomorrow.
The British and American lists,
covering almost exactly the same
names, total approximately $3.50
foreign firms and individuals in
Latin America and in the former
European neutral countries, Coun-
tries which will be most directly af-
fected by discontinuanCe outside
this hemisphere are Spain, Portugal,
Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
Negotiations have been under way
between the State Department and
British foreign Office for about two
months 70 work out method of
ending the list. It had been carried
on long after the wars end. both to
keep some economic controls on
questionable firms and to give a
competitive break to those firms
which had collaborated with the
Allies.
To Provide for Licenses.
The method of abandonment
agreed upon. according to authorita-
tive inf6rmants. is supposed to pro-
vide for granting licenses for Amer
ican companies which from now on
wish to DO business with the listed
foreign companies and individuals.
Thus a kind of control will be main
tanned for a relatively short time
The Treasury is to handle the
licenses.
Since the blacklist went into effect
July II. l941, American firms had
been forbidden to do business with
the concerns named in it. Stiff pen
alties were provided for any viola
ton. Conversely this was used as
an inducement to foreign firms to
avoid doing business with the Axis
and thus keep off the list.
Some months ago the British be-
gan demanding an end to the black
list. Their argument was that they
had to restore their foreign trade
as quickly as possible and needed to
minimize the restrictions which
might be placed on their traders
abroad.
Insisted on Moving Slowly.
United States officials insisted on
moving as slowly as possible for two
main reasons:
/. They wanted to throw every
possible advantage in the Latin and
foreign neutral countries to busi-
nessmen who had played ball with
the United States.
2. They wanted to maintain as
many controls as possible to aid in
bargaining with such countries as
Sweden and Switzerland on liquida-
ton of German assets in those coun-
tries.
At its peak in July, 1914, the
blacklist covered l5,400 businessmen
and firms abroad
