With orchards ablaze in full
glory all over the country, home

splendor with a mental picture OF
the jelly glasses that will soon
house this summertime treasure
for the cold, winter days to come.
These fruits in all their rich, ripe
flavor are yours to claim, Tor the
makers Of commercial pectins have
worked out a group of special
small quantity" recipes in their
laboratory kitchens that require
only a minimum OF sugar. Now
isn't that news? So don't allow
that jelly cupboard to become bare.
Fill it with a few jars of neatly
labelled, bright topped jams and
iellies. You can bet your family

The exhibit of autographed let
tiers and manuscripts of Felix Men
delssohn- -Bartholdy in the Library
Of Congress was inaugurated last
night with a recital by the eminent
violinist, Nathan Milstein. The
Mendelssohniana, of which only a
portion was on view in the Whittall
Pavilion, was presented recently to
the Library by Gertrude Clarke
Whittall, who chose her birthday
anniversary to place it on display
and to sponsor Mr.. Milstein's con-
cert to more than capacity audi
ence of invited guests. The same
program will be given tonight for
the general public.
Mr.. Milstein's playing last night
surpassed all his former perform
ances here and was a perfect COM
bination of virtuosity, superior mu-
sical concept and artistic sensibility.
Greatly endowed temperamentally,
the restraint he exercises in its ad-
justment to interpretive needs and
the remarkable gradations from
deicacy to brilliant power, of which
he Is master, set him apart as a
violinist realizing to the fullest the
great range Of beauty he controls
in the violin. Technically, he stands
at the apex but it is no cold me-
charlical perfection but vital, ex-
pressive skill that holds quality
all its own.
For dazzling, breath-taking bril-
hancy, his playing of his own
"Paganiniana" for violin alone was
the most exciting moment OF the
program. Taking the Paganini
theme popular with other COM
posers and excerpts from some of
the "a Caprices, he has written a
work that merits the name Of witch
variations" which Clara Schumann
once applied to the same treatment
by Brahms of the Paganini theme.
Mr.. Milstein's playing was COM
pelling in the dash and accuracy Of
his runs, the purity of his trills and
the beauty of his tone.
In the two classics, Vitali's "Cha-
come" and Bach's unaccompanied
Sonata in G Minor" with which
the program opened, his grasp OF
the essentials for embellishing every
detail was of individual character.
Yet the climax of the evening was
his performance of the Mendelssohn
Concerto, the original manuscript
of which, however, is not among the
collection on exhibit. The artist had
the misfortune to break his E string
in the middle of the last movement
and had to take time out to repair It,.
But throughout the entire perform
ance, he found a new approach that
high lighted this much played work
with fresh quality.
The enthusiasm of the audience
was unbounded and led finally to
two encores: Mr.. Milstein's own
transcription of Chopin's "Nocturne
in c Sharp Minor" and Wieniawski's
"Scherzo Tarantelle." He was ably
accompanied at the piano by the
sympathetic Josef Blatt.
Strauss Festival Presented.
Although only a portion of the
Strauss Festival staged last night In
Constitution Hall could be heard,
the program featuring Oscar Straus,
his concert orchestra and soloists,
was received with enthusiasm by
large audience. The famous COM
poser-conductor has lost none OF
his power to give snap and vlgor
to the performance of his own gay

The Purge Of Nozi Literature
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.


The destruction of Fascist and mill
tarist literature in Germany is uncom-
fortably akin to the Nazis' burning OF
books, so the American members of the
Allied Control Council were reluctant
in agreeing to the purge. 1t was a
trying dilemma, for obviously we do not
wish to initiate the Nazis' repressive
tactics, yet it is agreed we must root
out the pernicious doctrines which have
twice caused the Germans to plunge
the world into war.
Those doctrines cannot be rooted out
merely by destroying books. That step.
If taken alone, would defeat our pur-
pose, since it is truism of human
nature that forbidden fruits are the
most alluring. Only if the literary
purge is part of a program of thorough
re-education of the Germans can it be
extenuated, and there is unfortunately
little evidence that such a program is
proceeding. So it is likely that a good
many books will be hidden from con-
fiscation, to be highly priced by their
owners.
1t would have been much better If the
literary purge. instead of being imposed
by the Allies, had been conducted
voluntarily by Germans who had come
to realize the falsity of the Nazi writings.
When and If Germans become sincere
supporters of democratic principles and
themselves bar "Mein Kampf" from
their shelves, our task will be achieved.
But 1t can't be achieved now merely by
an Allied taboo on pro-Nazi literature,

puppet, and this opposition created
a strong underground" supported
by American and British aid. The
upshot was that, when the puppet
regime was overthrown at the time
of the Japanese collapse last sum-
mer, a new government was in
stalled which eventually made its
peace with Britain on lenient terms,
due at least in part to the good
offices of the American Government.
No such settlement has been ar
rived at between the new Siamese
government and France. French
officials have been demanding the
surrender of Indo-Chinese rebels
who fled into Siam and this may
explain the reason for French in
cursions along the upper Mekong
River.
If, as reported, Siam lodges an
appeal to the Security Council of
U. NJ, it should be remembered that
Siam is not a member of the United
Nations, whereas France is one of
the big Five" with permanent rep
resentation on the Council and
special veto, power.
