Brahms Symphony Manuscript
Given to Library of Congress

symphony in Brahms handwriting
in the United States
Another important item in
Brahms handwriting acquired in
the collection is the quintet, Op.
"a, for the piano and strings. This
work, completed in 1864. is regarded
by musicians as one of the great
landmarks of chamber music htera-
ture. The library manuscript was
the engraver's copy and had nu-
merouS corrections in it. Some of
them were so extensive that Brahms
had to paste new manuscript paper
over the main sheet and write the
music on it.
Other items in the collection Mrs.
Whittall presented to the library
included several works by Brahms
in his handwriting; two autographs
by Richard Wagner; and several
scores in Carl Maria Won Weber's
own hand, his Variations" for vio-
loncello and orchestra of 1910 being
among them.
The acquisition of these manu.
scripts brings to the Library of Con-
gress an addition to an earlier col
lection, presented to the library by
Mrs. Whittall in l941, of similar
autographs by composers.
The compositions Of the Brahms
Third Symphony and of the piano
quintet will be on exhibition at the
Library Of Congress through Janu-
ary II.

Wide Range of Types.
He said future tourist camps could
take many forms. Some might be
of the inn or hotel type. while others
might be groups of scattered cabins
and other small units, built In
woodland settings.
In addition to providing lodgings
the camps might be stated with
park experts to act as guides to
the city and provide information
on its major tourist attractions
This is what the National Park

The Library of Congress has re-
ceived a copy of Brahms Third
Symphony, Op. 80, complete in the
composers handwriting as gift
from Mrs. Gertrude Clarke Whittall,
1t was announced yesterday by DR..
Luther H. Evans, Librarian of Con-
gress.
The composition, one OF Brahms
four great symphonies, was complet-
ed in 1883 and first was performed
in< Vienna on December of that
year with Hans Richter conducting
Since the symphony was not pub
lished until 1884, it is believed the
copy now at the library was the one
Richter used to direct the orchestra.
The manuscript has rehearsal let
ters inserted in it in blue pencil and
a number of corrections In the score,
some of them extensive and funda-
mental. The composition, owned by
the Scarborough family. was taken
by the Nazi authorities in Vienna
during the war but was later recov-
cred by its owners. 1t was part OF
the collection acquired by Mrs.
Whittall from the Scarborough FAM
lily recently and presented to the
Library of Congress. Jerome Ston-
borough, a well-known American
collector who lived in Vienna many
years, was an admirer of Brahms.

A broad inquiry into the need
for extensive Government operated
tourist camp facilities in the Ma
tons Capital is being conducted for
the Office of National Capital Parks
by a nationally known park and
recreation expert.
He is Tam Deering, former recre-
alton director of Cincinnati and a
leading figure in the preservation of
CALIFORNIA; beaches and the crea-
ton of San Diego County's vast
park system. He is now in Wash
ington as a professional consultant
on park and recreation matters.
The Interior Department, parent
agency of the park service, was
blocked last year in an attempt to
expand tourist facilities in East Po-
tonac Park and freeze the camp in
that location.
Recreation VS.. TOuri Is.
The campaign against this pro-
posai which contemplated doubling
the size of the present dilapidated
camp and completely rebuilding it
into million dollar proposition, was
led by the District Recreation Board.
The board took the position that a
new tourist camp is needed, but that
East Potomac Park has always been
designated as the site for major
recreation center to serve the after
working -hours interests of Govern
ment employees.
Interviewed yesterday, Mr.. Deer
ing said his investigation is to fol-
low two lines:
/. He will seek to determine ac-
curatelyy the need of tourist facili-
ties here, both for individuals and
families and for groups OF school
students and youth organizations.

he will survey a variety of sites
for tourist camps and recommend
to the park offices where and OF
what type the facilities should be.
Sites Being Investigated.
Some of the sites under investi-

Truman Is Preparing
Shorter, Less Specific
Message 10 Congress
~ N. A,.se;o,sd Pres,


President Truman, hopeful Of
from the Republican,
controlled Congress, began work
yesterday on a state of the Union
message expected to be much Short
er and less specific than the 2l-
point program he presented to the
old Congress.
Mr.. Truman was reported to be
planning to refer only in broad
terms to many of his former de-
tailed recommendations and to pro-
pose new measures only in the light
of developments in the last year.
Republican National Chairman,
Carroll Reece, served notice in
Speech at st. Louis Thursday that
the President could not expect CO.
operation from the Both Congress
If he renewed his former program
in entirety. Mr. Reece remarked
that the state of the Union mes
sage will indicate the extent of
his desire for real, effective CO.
operation with the new Republican
Congress"
The Presidents principal new
recommendations probably will be
in the field of labor relations. He
has indicated to Congressman and
others that he definitely will have
something to say on this subject
In his message.
Another topic definitely slated for
inclusion Is the proposed Army
Navy merger. The President told
news conference he will renew
this controversial recommendation.
The question of universal train
ing probably will await recon-
mendations due in March from the
Presidents special commission just
named to study 1t.
Income taxes, which some Re-
publicans have pledged to trim as
much as 20 per cent, probably will
be dealt with in more detail in the
budget message.
Mr.. Truman first proposed his
21-point program to a 1945 session.
Congress was called back in Sep
tember from recess to deal with
problems crowded down upon us
with the surrender of the Japanese"
About half of the program was
sidetracked by the Democratic-con-
trolled 18th Congress.
The new State Of the Union mes
sage will 60 to the Congress after
it convenes January 3. Since that is
q Friday and Congress will require
time to organize, the message-one
of three planned by the President
may not be delivered until the fol-
lowing Monday.
It has not been definitely decided
whether the message will be de-
hvered in person. But since 1t will
be briefer than the 2l-point message
of September 8. 1945, which was re-
peated and elaborated on In . COM
bined legislative-budget message
last January, the President might

There will be three messages this
time - legislative, budget, and q

ing Expediter. Nell Dalton resigned
last night to return to duty as as
sistant to the president of the
Louisville Courier journal.
Mr.. Dalton was in charge of field
operations for former Expediter
Wilson Wyatt, who quit because OF
President Truman's relaxation OF
controls. Mr.. Dalton credited Mr..
Wyatt with laying the foundation
for tremendous building next
spring"
Unless the Government helps
finance the makers of assembly Line
houses, Mr.. Dalton declared, there
is mo way to get modest, low-cost
dwellings to relieve the next few
hardships years"
Architects See Lower Costs.
The American Institute of Archi-
tects predicted. however. that the
relaxation of controls will not only
speed up construction but will re-
duce costs"
The institute has advocated COM
plete removal OF wartime controls,
including rent ceilings. Immediately.
It's statement last night said the
housing situation is becoming pro-
gressively better and the outlook for
housing veterans is improved"
simultaneously, the Labor De-
partment reported a 81 per cent
increase in November in the num-
ber of apprentices in the building
industry, which faces labor short
age next year. At the start of this
month. 87,483 were listed and the
increase was achieved despite the
seasonal drop in new construction.

ployed, were veterans.

Wyatt to leave by the year lend. He
said he has offered to give aid

cessors, National Housing Admin
strator Raymond M. Foley and Ex-
pediter Frank r. Creedon.
THE outlook for large numbers
of conventional-type houses is ex-
cellent. but that's nothing new.
Mr.. Dalton told an interviewer
when Mr.. Wyatt took over, his
first effort was to increase produc-
ton of building materials.
That has been highly successful
Every line on every production chart
is heading to the sky. The fruit OF
that planting will be harvested next
spring in tremendous building activ-
ity.
But I don't think we can get

By Ernie Hill
Foreign Correspondent Of The s'or and
the chicoso Dolly News


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Dec. 81.
The revolutionary government Of
President Romulo Betancourt Of
Venezuela wants to keep its Commu-
nists unadvertised, apparently on
the theory that if you don't talk
about them, maybe they will go
away.
So Mario Vargas, Minister of the
Interior, has issued decree order
ing that this correspondent shall
not be permitted to return to Cara
cas- because of stories written about
Communists four months ago.
The piece on which Mr.. Vargas
teed off quoted a petition of so
United States businessmen to the
State Department. warning that
something should be done at once
to combat the rising Red tide in
that. little country. which has a bill
lion-dollar oil industry.
Petition Recalled.
They stated In their petition that
in Venezuela "the Communists now
have better start against us than
the Nazis ever had
talked with President Betancourt
shortly after my dispatch appeared
in print He told me that the story
was entirely legitimate, since 1t did
not represent my opinion, but only
quoted what the businessmen, most
OF them in the oil industry. claimed
He said that he was irked at them
not me.
But Mr.. Vargas apparently de-
cided that it was more sinful for
me to disclose the oilmen's ideas
than it was for them to have the
ideas. The logic may be obscure
but that is strictly the business OF
Mr.. Vargas and the Betancourt gov
ernment.
+ AS a matter of fact, the national
elections in October netted the
Communists 4ess than per cent
of the votes. Their noisy anti
United States campaign apparently
had led many persons to believe
that the Reds were many times that
strong. They have been attacking
United States interests in the
country and shouting Yankee i'm
perialisrn" for many months.
Vargas Order Cited.
In his "nonentry order Mr.
Vargas mentioned also the fact
that I wrote subsequent stories con-
corning the fact that the petition
had gone to Washington and was
being read by the State Depart
ment. This was further reason
in his estimation, why I should not
be allowed back in Venezuela.
AS the third cause of his action
Mr.. Vargas set forth that I wrote
that tourists and travellers in Vene-
zuela were apt to have travel difi-
culties, such as paying visa fees
paying income tax for the time
spent in that country, and getting
police permit of good conduct be-
fore leaving.
The fact that Venezuela has such
regulations, I am sure Mr.. Vargas
will admit, is none of my doing. But
the fact that I mentioned them
was added on as additional grounds
for denying me the warm hospi-
tality OF beautiful Caracas.
The decision of the Betancourt
government to take such action ap-
parently indicates that it considers
its position precarious. A revolu-
tionary attempt against Betancour,
was put down on August is. witt
a total of 20 persons killed. The
government apparently feels that
it doesn't want too many foreigners
visiting the country right now.
