To Be Keynote
Of Program
Gallery Concert
Features Works
In New Idiom

The second concert of the Amer
lean Music Festival series in the
National Gallery of Art tonight at
8 o'clock will introduced a program
Of works by Louis Gesensway, COM
poser and violinist of the Phila-
delphia orchestra since 1925.
Mr.. GesensWay spent many years
in research, after completing his
studies in Budapest, and evolved
a new system of musical compost
ton which he calls color harmony.
However this term has nothing to
do with visual colors but represents
a new conception Of harmonic
structure and counterpoint.
The author of this new system
made a thorough study of the
10th century masters, who based
their music on the potentialities of
the human voice. He believes that
the individuality of each instru-
ment should acquire greater oppor-
tunity for development If a method
be devised to enable them to reach
independence according to their in
dividual characteristics.
Mr.. Gesensway, whose Three
Movements for Strings and Per-
cussions" had a successful perform
ance here last season by the Phila-
delphia orchestra under Mr. Or
mandys direction, offers a simple
system, which is free from quarter
and eighth tones and which is not
supposed to be hybrid" but is
based on the 40-tone scale, used BY
him since 1887.
The interesting program will con-
tain a string quartet, to have its
world premiere tonight with Veda
Reynolds, playing the first violin.
Miss Reynolds, formerly connected
as concert master with the National
Symphony Water Gate concerts for
a season is at present a member of
the Philadelphia orchestra, as are
all the other players on this pro-
gram. Mr.. Gesenway will take part
In the remaining two ensembles.

Peace Should Lift Music's Aim
Wartime Use as Work Stimulant
Overlooked Its Spiritual Value
By Alice Eversman.

the same ground In short as does
the book, the difference being the
conditions existing at the time each
was written. Both seek to prove
how much more can be gotten out
Of a factory worker. for example,
If his nerves are tauten with music.
Mr.. Clarke names his first chap
ter CAS- Oil to the Machine" and
such also Mr.. Holman proves it to
be. The latter has percentages at
his finger tips to show how much
greater the output becomes when
music is played at intervals during
the working hours. Mr.. Clark
speaks Of THE Fatigue Curve" and
how at that point in the day new
impetus can be gained through the
use OF music. In his article Mr..
Holman says "At the end of a shift
or late at night, when workers are
firing, fast music such as polkas
generally gets the best results"
Tests have been made on the pulse
rate, the respiration, blood pressure
and bodily heat to show how they
are affected by music and, through
experiments, scientific chart Of
the kind of music guaranteed for
special results has been made. Mr..
Holman also proves that COWS give
more milk and chickens lay more
eggs, all to the advantage of the
owners, if subjected to a we'll
planned diet of music.
The other side of the picture dis
closes the appreciable fact that
workers are more contented when
the day is enlivened with music,
that there is less pickering among
them and that the monotony Of
dong the same thing over and over
again is relieved. Many big plants
have organized bands and choruses
and have installed public address
systems to carry over the building
the recorded music played in a spe-
clally constructed room. There is no
reason to bubble with all this as un-
doubtedly the appreciation of music
has been forwarded by the constant
hearing.
But the point is that these de-
Velopments have been fostered sore
ly Tor the purpose of making the
human being efficient for a full day
OF labor to the ultimate profit of
industry. None of this has been de-
signed for his spiritual uplift. The
great, deep we'll of musics meaning
is not considered but only the spur
of exciting rhythms and the charm
OF an appealing melody. AS fine
and worth while as is any spreading
of the knowledge of music, it's super
latlVe benefit to the individual and
the community should not be for
gotten. 1t would be interesting to
match Mr.. Holman's article with
one showing, in percentages. if need
be, the ratio of spiritual develop
ment resulting from acquaintance
with fine music.

The value Of music as a stimulant
for war production and as a builder
of morale has been demonstrated
amply within the past trying years.
Its use has been sanctioned by many
who previously looked upon the art,
If they looked at all, with some dis
dain. Yet, with the exception Of
certain types of music expressly de-
signed to be of moral support, most
Of it has been employed to stir the
body forces to greater endeavor in
hard work. This was quite UNDER
stardable as necessary in times of
adversely but such a material end
is. hardly compatible with peace
time.
In the March issue of the Ameri-
can Mercury, Ross L. Holman has
an article on How Music Helps In
dustry." In 1929, Kenneth S. Clark

tional Bureau for the Advancement
Of Music, entitled Music in Indus

Hilsberg to Play
Mcdonald Work
With Ormandv

The novelty of the Philadelphia
Orchestra's program Tuesday, at the
last of its subscription concerts, will
be Harl McDonald's Concerto fol
Violin and Orchestra" played by
Alexander Hilsberg, concert master
of this famous group. The concert
will be held in Constitution Hall
under Ormandy's direction, at 8:3(
pm.
Composed on trains, in hote
rooms and in backstage concert hal
quarters, during the orchestral
tours 1941-1943, this work had it,
initial performance in Philadelphia
a year ago. Mr.. Mcdonald, who haI
been the orchestra's manager fol
several years, has achieved renoWr
as composer in the period preced-
ing his acceptance of this exactine
post which does not leave him much
leisure time.
Completing the concerto, by add
ing humorous rondo, while on va
cation in Maine three years ago, ano
revising the work, the composer was
unable to make a piano reduction
of the score for another year to en-
able the violinist to study the opus
Mr.. Hilsberg in turn was confronted
with the problem of finding a com
petent pianist who could play the
music when, he undertook the prep.
aration of the work while vacation
ing in New Hampshire, and it was
not until Mr. Mcdonald had a re.
.cording made of the piano reduc-
ton that the violinist was able tc
proceed.
Mr.. Hilsberg, concert master of the
orchestra since 1880 and associate
conductor this season, wrote a ca
denza for the concerto in the first
movement, his first attempt at COM
position.

British Minister Attacks
Tory Newspaper Chains
BY the Associoied Press

LONDON, July 9.-Herbert Nor
riSon, deputy prime minister, said
last night that the "suppressions.
misrepresentat tions and inventions"
of what he called great tory news
paper combines" were "a disgrace
to journalism,
"One of the elements Of the mod
ern press I am especially unhappy
about" Mr.. Morrison said in
speech before the Suburban Co.
operative Society, 'is the Kemsley
gramophone chain OF over 20 news
papers which includes many for
merly independently controlled pro-
vincial newspapers.
Mr.. Morrison mentioned no news
papers by name except the Kemsley
group. Viscount Kemsley, the pub
Usher, whose chain includes the
Daily Graphic, the Sunday Times
and the Sunday Chronicle, said he
probably would publish reply to-
day.
The deputy premier did not am
plify his reference to "suppressions,
misrepresentation. inventions" His
speech was concerned mainly with
the Labor governments legislative
program. OF which the conservative
press has been critical.

sales campaign.
3. Far from being discredited. re-
corders are sold by the British gov
ernment as part of its telephone
service. Sweden and other countries
also use them without apology.
4. Although they were heard of
little before the war, recorders were
in use as early as 1915, and now are
standard equipment with many
businesses.
There is nothing to prevent you
or anybody else from rigging up q
recorder. Or SO the FEC believes at
this time, as it delVes into the evil
dence.
The position of the telephone peo-
pie was stated by Keith S. McHugh
vice president of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co., who
said:
The average person would be out
ragged if he found that his business
conversation in an Office or his social
conversation in a private home had
been recorded without his knowl- :
edge, possibly for use against him
later.
Face to Face" Viewpoint.
THE belief of the telephone COM
panies always has been and still is
that the public wants telephone con-
versationS to be as nearly like face
to-face conversations as possible and
no more susceptible to being record
ed than face-to-face conversation. +"
How Is it then, asked a proponent
OF recording, that telephone COM
panies long have supplied extension
telephones that enable stenog-
raphers to record converse tions?
This argument was advanced by
A. P. Hornor, manager of the Edi-
phone Division of Thomas A. Edison.
Inc, who argued the extension sys-
tenn was more Objectionable because
it permitted eavesdropping
Mr.. McHugh said the A. T. g. T.
had carefully studied a means of
making persons aware their conver-
SationS were being recorded. One
idea was to place star alongside
a number in the telephone directory,
denotlng a recording device
Though this is used in England and
Sweden, Mr. McHu2h said this
would not give adequate protection

Suicidal Says Maverick

Maury Maverick. former chairman
of the disbsnded Smaller War

penGence would be suicidal" for
Puerto Rico and advocated terri
torial status for the island
In a memorandum sent from his
Los Angeles Office to President Tru-
man and the State. Interior. Com
merce. War and Navy Departments.
Mr. Maverick warned against what
he termed amy foolish action in
reference to Puerto Rico because the
problem seems small"
He said that actually, the whole
question of Puerto Rico has received
far too little attention" and sug-
gested 1t is of vast Importance. to
the people of the United States, and
of the world"
Mr.. Maverick added that this is
not a question that can be laughed
off. from domestic and military
angle, and certainly not from the
viewpoint of international affairs"
