planned the origin of the club. H,

growth or even its survival. He Their
asked the audience to consider what
year this is and how the record OF
the club has surpassed Mr.. Engel's
expectation.
The yearly concerts have disclosed
the earnest and progressive charac-
ter OF the group. Last nights pro-
gram reached a level of which, in
Individually and collectively, the COM
posers could be proud. Those whose
works were performed were Emerson
Meyers, Mr.. Shure, La Sale Spier
Alba Rosa Victor, Mary Howe, Eric
Bovet and Dorothy Radde Emery.
MIR. Bovet's Allegro for String
Quartet in the Mixolydian Mode
was the first number presented,
played by Herman D. Weihe and
Carolina Randell, violins; Ivalee
Holden, viola, and Lee Farley, cello.
Its melodius content and excellent
treatment in this particular style
was contrasted by another work for
stringed instruments: Mrs. Vietor's
"Adagio Dramatico" and "Danse
Grotesque," for violin and piano. The
composer-violinist was assisted at
the piano by Julia Elbogen.
Mrs. Victor, whose facility in writ
ing for the violin is based on her
knowledge of what is effective for it,
adopted a more conservative style
than in her previous works, and the
two numbers are among the best
she has written. The two pieces
showed her skill in mood creation,
the rather solemn tone of the
"Adagio" setting off the not-too-
grotesque "Danse." The performance
by the two artists was polished, with
an excellently developed ensemble
The sensitive musical feeling
which Gertrude Troutman brought
to the Interpretation of the three
piano numbers by Mr.. Shure pre-
sented them in the best light. The
composer showed fine imaginat tive
quality in Sacred Sepulchre" and
the gay Mountain Jig achieving
particularly lovely effects in his de-
lightful Purple Finch Linnet."
Equally rich in fantasy and charm
ing in construction were Mr.. Spier's
miniatures for two pianos: Sunrise
Song" Heavenly Blue" Road

hall. 1t was the occasion also to
hear another work by the eminent
American composer, Bertram Shap-
leigh, whose Senate in A Major
for piano and cello was given its
world premiere. Mirage another
composition by the late Mr.. Shap-
leigh, was played about five years
ago by the National Symphony Or
chestra.
Although the beginning of the
Senate" strikes q somber note, the
prevailing lyrical character Is of a
highly poetic nature. Mr.. Shap-
leigh has given to the cello a con-
tinuous song of rich beauty that
flows serenely against the more ex-
pansive and, at times, turbulent
piano part. The whole has q soar
ing quality that abounds in melody
and which is knit together with ex-
pert craftsmanship.
A first local performance was
given to Joaquin Minis Suite Es-
for cello and piano and

Greater Food Output
For IS Years Urged
By United Nations
BY the Associated Press

Even before the war half the
world was seriously undernourished.
and sharp increase in food output
is needed over the next decade and
half to feed everybody properly.
the Food and Agriculture Organiza-
tion of the United Nations declared
Yesterday.
The FAC made public a world
survey which will be offered at its
annual conference opening at Co.
penhagen September 2. 1t will form
the basis for determining world
food policies designed to bring pro-
duction up to minimum standards.
1t is evident the FAC said,
that about one-half the world S
population was subsisting before the
war at level of food consumption
which was not high enough to main
tain normal health, allow for nor
NAL growth of children or furnish
enough energy for normal work"
Increases Estimated.
Assuming Is per cent increase in
world population, the organization
estimated that world production by
1860 would have to be increased by
the following amounts to assure a
satisfactory diet for the hungry:
Cereals. 81 per cent: potatoes and
other root crops. 27; sugar, II; fats,
"a; beans and peas, so; fruits and
vegetables, 1863; meats, As, and
milk. 100.
creases over prewar levels would be
needed in the United States by
1860 to assure Americans a salts
factory diet: Grain products, 4 per
cent; potatoes and root crops, 81,
fats. 0.4: beans, ,~peas and nuts, 6.6;
fruits and vegetables, 486 meat,
fish and eggs, 176, and milk. 556.
The FAC said its world food sur
vey showed that daily average con-
sumption during the prewar years
varied from 1921 calories per per-
son daily In New Zealand to 1904
in Korea.
Other Diets Listed.
Other countries with an average
Of more than 5000 calories daily
included the United States, Canada.

mark, Norway. Sweden. Switzerland.
France. Argentina and Australia.
Other countries with daily aver
age of less than 1000 included Iran.
Irao. Trans-Jordon, Ell Salvador,
Mexico and Colombia
The FAC said it. should be the
aim of the United Nations to raise
subnormal diets to a minimum of
$500 calories. In countries with
an average of more than $500 cal
cries, the target should be an i'm
provement in the quality Of the diet
rather than an increase in its
energy value, the report said.
