HARLAN Meyer Gives
Interesting Program
Rv Etono do (avn
By Elena de Soyn

HARLAN Meyer, young Wash
ington pianist, whose musical de-
velopment has been watched with
interest through the years, was
heard in recital in the Phillips GAL
lery yesterday afternoon. Fulfilling
the confidence placed in her by her
teachers, she embodies today the
high standards of piano pedagogy
available in this city, since she re-
ceived all her training here.
Of the two sections of her pro-
gram, the standard and the mod
ern, the latter was much more in
teresting, since it showed more of
her individuality. Her performance
of Beethoven's Sonata Quasi Una
Fantasia, in E Flat Major, op. ~,
No. l" bore the stamp of sound
musical education, not devoid, how
ever, of the formality of the class
room. The same can be said, more
or less, of the four Chopin selec-
tons on the program. The less
familiar "Nocturne B Major, op. 9,
No. g." was neat and musical in
phrasing, but did not convey much
of that dreamy, romantic mood,
characteristic of the era, while the
two mazurkas suggested little of the
national rhythm and element which
Chopin developed and immortalized
to such an unprecedented degree.
The freshness, the f1uency and
buoyancy of Miss Meyers touch
were best exemplitied in the quick
movement Of MacDowell's "keltic
Sonata, OPP. SO, No, &; the ALGERIA
ma Horta," from Vila-Lobos' Suite
Floral op. ST. and La Danse
d'Olaf," from Ricardo PickMan-
giagalli's 'Deux Lunaires, op. 80.
This talented son of Bohemia and
naturalized Italian, educated in
Milan, already has won many hon.
ors in his adopted country and
abroad as a composer with a dis
tinctive style of his own. Miss
Meyers crisp delivery of the mod
ern group, her affinity with its
idyllic musical contents and its i'm
provisational form lent interest to
her Interpretation.

Problems Of Printing
Texts May Postpone
Axis Treaty Signing
BY tho Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. diplomatic
informants said today that the sign
ing of Axis satellite peace treaties,
now being completed here by the
Council of Foreign Ministers, almost
certainly would be delayed until
: early next year because of mechan-
ical problems involved in printing
final official texts.
The Big Four hope to wind up
their work on the pacts for Italy,
Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and
Finland in a few days and come to
grips before the week end with the
task of outlining preliminary prob
lens involved in German settle
ment.
They are scheduled to hold a
conference on Germany in Europe
Yearly in 1947 and the five satellite
treaties may not be signed until
that time. AS an alternative some
authorities suggested they might be
circulated among the various capi-
tails by airplane courier before the
German conference is held.
bargaining Position Better.
Some western diplomats said that
on the German issue Britain and
the United States appeared to have
strengthened their bargaining posi-
ton in relation to Russia and
France by the agreement, an
nounced yesterday, for the economic
fusion of their two zones In Ger
many.
France in the past has baked at
the economic uniflcation of Ger
many without satisfaction of her
demand for internationalization of
the Ruhr. Russia has been pri-
n1arily interested in obtaining from
Germany more reparations than
Britain and the United States have
been willing to approve.
The pressure for action by the
two western powers has been their
need to make at least their zones OF
Germany self-suficient so they
could stop pouring in money at the
rate of 100000, 900 a year. The
merger agreement, according to
Secretary of State Byrnes, is de-
signed to make the zone econom-
ically independent by 1850 and the
belief is that they can thus be oper-
ated indefinitely without loss to
American and Britain regardless of
what happens in the rest of Ger
many.
Big Four action on the satellite
treaties last night was mainly linn
tied to debate, and some agree
ment, on tedious but relatively
minor economic and political ques-
tionS.
Bevin Yields on Demands.
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
yielded on his demands for changes
in. the Bulgarian-Greek frontier in
favor of Greece and it was agreed
that the Bulgarian border should
stand as it was in 1941.
On another point, the Big -Four
rejected q Paris Peace Conference
decision which would have made
the World Court final arbiter in
future disputes over Interpretation
OF the peace treaties and sub
stituted a provision for three
member boards consisting Of repre-
seAtatives of the two contesting
parties and chairman appointed

NoAction on Motions
 Hearings on Leary,
 Cassidy Suits
 Delayed Week

Hearings on two motions In the recovery action against Daniel J, Leary and on a motion for bond in the Cassidy tax revaluation suit were postponed in Superior Court today until next Friday.
 Judge Edward J. Quinlan was told by Attorney w. w. Gager, counsel for the city in the $500, 900 Leary suit, that government attor- neys were not able to be present in court today. and that Attorney Frederick Waterhouse, counsel for Leary, wished to postpone the hear ing until both the city action and the federal governments motion could be heard at the same time.
 The city had requested a hearing on Leary's motion for a more spec fife statement. The government had made a motion to cite in Sadie Leary, wife of the former comp troller as a co-defendant. The gov- ernment also is seeking to enter the city's recovery case as a co-plain- tiff.
 The bond hearing was postponed because of inability of Attorney John H. Cassidy, one of the "A plaintiffs, to be present in the courtroom today. The motion was made by the city, which requests posting of a bond by Cassidy to cover court costs in the event the plaintiffs lose.

 Pressure on politicians from one side and another is so great, said MT Hogan, they usually say nothing definite. They feel they must sup- port any program offered to them by an organization or join any so- ciety which seeks their membership, he said.
