.Lener Group Plays
C Minor Quarter
OF Joseph Wuqner
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

With the performance OF Joseph
Wagner's Quartet in G Minor" by
the Lener String Quartet, the Ma
tional Gallery Of Art celebrated the
Tooth presentation Of q work by an
American composer last night
Members of the group are Jeno
Lener and Michael Kuttner, violins;
Nicholas Harsnyi, viola, and Otto
Deri, cello.
Not overly long, with voicing well
distributed between the four instru-
ments, the work has enough con-
trast within its scope to keep the
listener watchful for new develop
ments. With the viola coming
through with the theme, later picked
up by other members Of the quar-
tet, its vigorous beginning is cli-
NAKED by q strain notable for its
meditative mood. Here the second
violin has short interlude, not COW
cred by other instruments, In which
Mr.. Kuttner disclosed tone of real
quality.

Of mature judgment and individ-
uality.
Besides Wagner's quartet, the
Lener group was heard in Tschai-
kovskys Quartet in 4 Fiat Minor,
op. 30," and Haydn's Quartet in
D minor, op. 70, No. O." the former
considered to rank higher than the
other two from his pen. Except for
the "Scherzando" section, the Sc
rious mood prevails, made undis-
tinguished, however, yesterday, by
the lack Of sympathetic treatment
and penetration into Tschaikovsky 5
style. The most enjoyable part was
the third, in which the unrelieved
use OF volume throughout the even-
Ing was happily disguised by the use
Of the sordino.
The group has not as yet acquired
the accomplishment Of nuance nor

Scherzando" Of the second part, fol-
lowed by the "Andante Tranquillo''
OF the third. where the composer
meant to reach lofty heights
through the medium Of the first
violin. If his intentions were some
what obliterated by the thick, al
ways "appasianato" tone Of Mr..
Lener his ideal remained neverthe-
less unchanged. A wholesome "Al-
legro Vivace," Of the fourth and
last movement Of the opus, kept
the four partners busy fiddling to
the last note.
Mr.. Wagner. formerly active in
Boston musical circles rs organist

his studies in that city and later

skillful arrangement. the guitar
can take its place easily as a sole
instrument with an ensemble. DR.
Kindler's careful conducting showed
consideration in the balance of vol
ume, permitting the orchestra full
freedom only in the tutti.
The Concerto" Is q substantial
work expertly constructed, yet hav-
ing the glow of q poetic idea which
Is expressed both in the color and
pronounced rhythms in which the
composition abounds. An atmos-
pheric setting is created by the or
chestra against which the guitar
discourses to the full extent of its
powers. What these can be was
little understood by the average
musician, or by the average guitar
player for that matter, until Sc
govia disclosed them. He has over
come the inherent limitations of the
instrument, developing technique
that can weave long phrase with
sustained tone or perform pyro-
technics comparable to a master
violiniSt.
The cadenza of the first move-'
ment gave him ample opportunity
for display as virtuoso and the
remaining sections for the suave
artistry and the command of null
tiple means of creating color and
expressing sentiment. Recalled re-
peatedly by the salvos Of applause,
he gave two encores: Theme Varie"
by the renowned Spanish guitarist
and composer, Fernando Sor, and
Crispo's Peruvian Song" Playing
without accompaniment, his mar
velous feeling for nuance and dy-
namics and his virtuoso control was
so impressive as to continue for
some minutes the ovation he re-
ceived.
The orchestral version of Scholn-
berg's "Verklaerte Nacht" was the
major number listed for the SYM
phony. Arranged for strings, this
earlier work by Schoenberg re-
mains one of the loveliest in ro-
mantle expression in the literature.
1t is far cry from the later
Schoenberg writings but 1t has
vitality, genuineness and an in
spirational quality that cannot be
equalled in his later atopal style.
The eloquent reading of the orches-
ira was warmly applauded, as was
the delightfully."- rhythmic and gay
Jamaican Rhumba" by Arthur
Benjamin. C. P. E. Bach's Sin
fonia," the opening number, is less
distinctive than his symphony
played last year but possesses the
same ingratiating suavity and light
ness. 1t is music pleasant to the
ear and undemanding on the emo
tions.
Weinberger's Czech Rhapsody"

NO TRUMAN ROAD

Folks back in Jackson County, Mo, usually are willing to go the limit for any honor to their na- tive son, Harry Truman. But a re- cent proposal to change the name of Van Horn Road, an important Traffic artery named after an early county pioneer, met with a storm of protest. Some of the rural citi- zens baked at stealing one per sons tombstone to honor another.
 Ven Horn Road was named after Col. R. T. Van Horn, who settled in the country in 1855 when Kan sas City's population was about 455. He became mayor of Kansas City, was active in Missouri politics, and bought the country's first newspa- ger. later the Kansas City Journal TOW defunct.
 The move to honor the President was first suggested by a group of Kansas City negroes associated with 18th Street political factions. They proposed that 18th Street in Kan sas City be renamed Truman Road. Later Mayor Roger T. Sermon of independence suggested that Van Rem Road, which runs from the

GOOD SENSE

The House of Representatives yesterday showed rood sense by smashing down the opposition to the Green -Shattuck workmens Compensation Bill and nasine the measure while the Senate still working on an identical proposal
 Last year, the same bill held in House com mttee for some 47 days, not becase it wasn't good bill for the working man, but because eaousies and personalities concerning who had written and who had introduced the measure entered into the picture
 Rep Warren Taylor voiced the only major opposi- ton to the bill but his attempts to scutle 1t were shunted aside Representatives cf the First Division Krause Cain Hennings, Shattuck, Hanford, Peratro- yich Hope and Vukovich to be commented TOT sticking behind the requests of labor for this division
 Senator Joe Green of feels little bit peeVed at inc Senate for delaying identical measure which he introduced but he is primarily interested ID securing passage of the bill matter who gets the credit
 One attempt to stall the passage ol the blll n the House should not be allowed to go by without comment While the bill was under discussion, letter from James Parsons was introduced supposedly representing views of labor This letter condemned the bill as being purely political and for the benefit of private

late. Though friendly rivals at the Chicago Convention, the two men have always respected each others views, even when they differed. Now, however, they are closer to- sether than ever.
 Note-Just before the Chicago Convention in July 1944, Ickes and Sam Roseman were detailed by the White House to visit Henry Wal lace in his hotel apartment and try 10 persuade him to withdraw from the race. Supreme Court Justice Douglas was Ickes' candidate for the Presidency at that time. However, when Ickes got to the convention and saw the array of big city bosses and reactionary Democrats ganged up against Wal lace, he threw his weight to Henry and sent Roosevelt a blistering telegram blasting Bob Hannegan. The wire never reached FDR until after the voting was over. If it had, some politicos believe Roosevelt might have intervened for Wallace at Chicago.

insurance companies It significant that the sender of the letter was sitting in the gallery with Frank Marshall supposedly another friend of labor in Alaska
 Later in the day, Julius Heineman, of the Juneau Central Labor Council AFI condemned this letter as pure forgery
 The truth is that this bill is the best thing that has come along for labor for many years It IS good bill primarily for the protection of the worker but also for the protection of the employer in that it makes the empover protect himself against loss sustained by injury to his workers.
 We were glad to see yesterday that the majority of the House members were able to see through the subtle attempts to sidetrack good bill and believe this action shows noticeable improvement over the course followed last year.

Arctic Flight Tests
CNew York Times)


 Ask any New Yorker just now if he would like a quick trip to the Arctic and he would doubtless shiver at the suggestion. But it is to the far north In md- winter that the Navy now turns to make US newest aviation experiment. The new 45000-ton carrier MIG way three destroyers and tanker in her train, fty- eight planes and 2500 men aboard is sailing for Davis Strait whose wash the lonely, often lofty ana always forbiddng shores of Greenland and of Labrador There in weather ranging from zero to fifteen degrees in ice and sleet and snow and gales she will test equipment designed for Arctic flight and rescue
 To send valuable ship of into waters that many persons believe to be sodly frozen over most of the time is not hazardous as may at 1Tst seem Actually no great risks will be run for though US shorene now is frozen Davis Strait offers large stretches of open water It is well south of the Arctic Circle and there in comparative safey the ship will stay launching her planes, one of them jet-propeeo to fly under Arctic conditions within circle of about 800 miles diameter On board the Midway snow blows and brushes will be tested to clear her decks covers Tor wings and propelers will be tried out and special starters and heaters will be used. In the water new weight flying suit designed for Arctic immersion will be tested, with helicopter at hand to effect rescue if needed.
 the Midway is to be in New York Davis Strait will still be widely open water, for it is not until May that icebergs and "growlers,7 which diminutive bergs shoulder each other in the farway and offer serious threat to shipping in the sea lanes
 Alarmists may think all this-coupled with the Canadian Operation Musk OK" which is much the same sort of test being made with land equipment implies some sort of threat against someone They may raise the cry that we are saber rattng in the Arctic The Navy's announcement makes it clear however that this would be false conjecture. Actually the latest experiment is continuation of one made by the old carrier Ranger off Alaskan coasts Tn 1859 Then as now the purpose was to test Arctic flying equipment Obviously, the only place to make that lest IS in the Arctic.
 Just as the Rangers work was forerunner ot the Nidways task will the Mdways work be fore runner to a full-scae test of all types of ships next winter. It may be put down as routine and colo routine at that.

WALLACE AND ICKES

Henry Wallace and Harold Ickes, although agreeing on basic politi- cal ideals have never been warm friends For 13 long years they served in the same Cabinet, but part of the time they fought like cat and dog over who was to run the Forest Service and the Soil Conservation Service.
 And when Ickes finally left the Cabinet, Henry Wallace did not even call him up. Two courteous Southerners, Secretary of State Byrnes of South Carolina and Sec letary of the Treasury Vinson of Kentucky, telephoned him, but not his old colleague Wallace.
 Now, however Harold Ickes has probably done Wallace the biggest political favor of his life. Ickes did not exactly mean to do it, but, nevertheless, it remains an accom- plished fact
 1ChCo GhlG II lOlll lllC l Qlllc4l SoO- inet has left Wallace as the last of the original Roosevelt New Deal CTS. and tsle only Cabinet member with a powerful hold on independ- ent voters. An original Republican --as was Ickes-Wallace is strong with the Negro voters, labor, ana the independent liberals l As a result, Wallace's position inside the Administration is better than ever. Truman and Bob Hanne- gan both are anxious to retain at least one all-out New Dealer. Wal lace is their man.
 1 This is the inside reason why Truman asked Wallace to share | the honors with him at the forth ] coming Jackson Day dinner Wal lace and Truman together vii speak over a national broadcast tc Democrats.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Brides and young mothers are under favorable influences. This is an ideal day for Summer planning, both in the home and in business.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 A further rise in the cost of liv- ing is indicated before the end of the coming summer. An early meat surplus, followed by short age next Fall is not improbable.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A fresh wave of strikes, inspired by the successes of the Winter walkouts is foreseen. Efforts to or ganize many white collar workers not now allied with unions will be made.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Theft of atomic energy secrets by Soviet agents probably will prove more embarrassing than beneficial to Russia in the long run. Here after all Soviet nations will be highly suspect.
 Persons whose birthdate this k are promised by the stars: A yeal Of gains and losses with gains pre- dominating; and an exciting tray el experience which will cause some uneasiness but have a happy snc eminently profitable ending for al concerned.

 Destruction of the United Nations Organization and, in time, another war.
 Tine United States has vital responsibility in it's dealings with the Soviet Union, Hartman said. and advised.
 We must be patient, we must be understanding. but we must also be firm
 He expressed the opinion that in- ternal problems in Russia are part ly dlctating Stalin's actions at the present time Many different tongues and about 300 dialects are spoken in the Soviet Union. Rus sia lost between 100000 and B. 100000 people in the war; her ter ritory was devastated, much of her manufacturing facilities ruined. The problem of welding the country to- gether and keeping down political unrest has it's effect on Russian foreign policy

 But businessmen along tce road throughout che inter-city district didn't think so much of the idea.

 Some recalled the effort by the Chamber of Commerce at Grand view, Mo, home of the Presidents mother, to build Truman Hall, S25,000 war memorial. The plan was chucked when J. Vivian Tru- man, the Presidents brother, said Harry didn't want his name used in the collection of funds for the project.
 So finally the proposal was shelv- ed-at least temporarily. Van Horn Road will not be Truman Road.
 Note = The President probably would have drowned on this pro- posal anyway because of a Govern nent appropriation to repair that part of Van Horn Road which runs past the summer White House.
