Cuts in Army Budget
Held Cause Of Delay
In Airport Transfer

Plans for the postwar transfer Of
the international Air Terminal at
National Airport from military to
civilian control have been post
poned indefinitely because OF cuts
in the War Department budget, 1t
was learned today.
The modernistic terminal built by
the Air Transport Command dur
ing the war to house immigration,
customs and health inspection serv-
ices for processing overseas passen-
gers was to have been turned over
this fall to the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, which manages the
airport.
ATC officials, however, have IN
formed Hervey Law, airport man
ager, that the move must be held
up until space can be provided for
ATC administration, operational
and maintenance sections at Boil
Ing and Andrews Fields, neither of
which can accommodate all the ac-
tivities.
viii Give Up Space.
The ATC plans eventually to give
up virtually all of its space at the
airport, including terminal facili-
ties, maintenance hangar and Of
flee accommodations in Annex No.
at Gravelly Point, it was said.
Only small staff will be left at
the international terminal for the
accommodation of overseas planes
landing or taking off with impor-
tant passengers.
At present commercial overseas
airlines use the international ter
minal facilities along with military
planes.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Laws and Off
cials of the CAA are anxious to
acquire the facility to integrate it
with the operational plans Of Ma
tional Airport.
Move Had Been Planned.
Original plans for the transfer
called for ATC occupancy of space
at Andrews to have been vacated
by the Strategic Air Command.
which Was to have moved to a new
headquarters in the Middle West.
War Department budget cuts, how
ever, resulted both in holding UP
the strategic command shift and
the completion of new administra-
tive buildings at Andrews, an AAF
officer said.
The whole interlocking plan is
being worked over, it was said, in
the light of President Trumans
cut In the new budget for the armed
services.

Highly Successful
Piano Recital
Given by Kerr
BY Elena de Soyn

Thomas H. Kerr, jr, q young
pianist endowed with the precious
gift of making modern music inter-
esting and comprehensive, gave a
highly successful recital at the How
ard University last night.
On the faculty of the university's
music school, and a graduate Of the
Eastman School of Music with a
masters degree in composition, Mr.
Kerr has not only the fundamental
understanding of the nnodernistic
idiom but natural affinity with 1t,
expressed In his manner of recreat-
ing. Out of a maze of notes he
weaves expertly and with an as
founding technical skill, tone-pic-
lures, or tells a story, punctuating
sentences and phrases with an ad-
mirable clarity. His own selections

poem 'The Bells" and Dedication, y
both receiving a local premiere, also

ALBUM for the Not Too Young,

Fellow and recipient of the Pulit-
ger Prize. The first movement OF

sonata lacked that ingratiating
suavity Of the former, although it
has more originality and cannot be

or Russian influences, felt In Chas-
ms works.
Gardner Read, who believes In
melody, gave a fine example Of this

premiere. Samuel Barber's "Excur-

The Water Gate audience made
the acquaintance Of new guest
conductor of the National SYM
phony last night in the person OF
Ignace Strasfogel who with Percy
Granger, the beloved pianist as
soloist, gave one of the most en-
joyable programs to be heard this
season. The setting for the con-
cert could not be improved upon
for, although the beautiful SUM-
sets that the war time of last year
gave an opportunity to watch, are
over by the opening hour, the
fathomless sky with a silver Of a
moon showing for a short period.
the more brazen stars on duty and
refreshing wind ripping the
water provided poetic atmosphere.
What seemed to be the largest au-
dience of the summer took advan-
tage of it.
AS director and musician Mr..
Strasfogel is an interesting per-
sonality. He excells in two fac
tors; a splendid sense of rhythm
and the ability to produce an ex-
traordinarily effective legato in the
orchestra. These were present in
each work of the program, both
more sharply defined than any one
else has thought of. The quick
transfer from crisp accents and pre-
else rhythm to undulant phrases
modelled with thought of their high
lights was accompanied with a
temperamental feeling that gave
impetus to their fashioning.
The orchestral numbers were en-
tirely of popular appeal and held
these elements that Mr.. Strasfogel
may have realized as his special
forte. Bizets "L'Arlesienne Suite
No. /" in itself offers a rich variety
of color as does also the three
"Slavonic Dances" from Dvorak's
opus A. The conductor not only
brought it out with vividness but
also gave all extra stress to the
contours of the works The "Ra-
koczy March" from Berlioz' THE
Damnation of Faust" and the POL
ka and Fugue" from Weinberger's
"Schwanda" we're much of the same
type to the performance of which
Mr.. Strasfogel brought an ardent
spirit. The audience expressed it's
liking in the enthusiasm of its
applauding.
Mr. Granger has played the Grieg
Concerto in A minor" several times
here. yet his performance has al
ways a fresh and individual quality.

and Grainger's own transcription of

During the evening more than a
dozen airplanes flew directly over
the barge, seven Of them before Mr.
Granger had reached the second
movement of the concerto. None of
these had the courtesy to dim their
engines. AS much as the people
honor and admire their birdmen,
the time to give attention to them
is not during a concert they have
paid to hear. Perhaps If the habit
of incoming pilots to direct their
course above the center of the Water
Gate audiences was brought to the
attention of the commanding gen.
eral, this nuisance might be stopped.

PAROLE BOARD STATEMENT
In statement signed by the
chairman, Matthew W Bullock,
the Parole Board readily took
cognizance Of the State prison
incident.
"The inmates at the State
prison are hardened, serious Of
Tenders" it set forth. Many Of
them are habitual criminals,
who have not only served pre-
vious sentences in the correC-
tional and penal institutions OF
the commonwealth but have al.
so been confined in other states
Practically all of them have
been such serious offenders
that they have been found un.
fit for transfer to such an in
stitution as the Norfolk Prison
Colony. Many of them have al
ready been tried on parole
many times and have shown
an inability to stay out Of trou-
BILE.
There are those who would
have the board release these
men as if they were accidental
or occasional offenders.
with reference to FIR. Rob-
inson' S statement. shortly after
FIR. Robinson became chaplain
of the prison, he requested the
board to release four or five Of
these men and after studying
the case histories Of these men
the board decided that it could
not conScientiously do so. Since
that time, Fir. Robinson has &C
cused the board Of beeing too
severe.
For several years now Rep
Cleary has been trying to bring
about the release OF a certain
North Shore gangster who is
serving a sentence for ma.
slaughter The board has re-
fused to consider the release Of
this man until he is interviewed
when he has served two-thirds
of his minimum sentence.
This may be the reason why
Rep Cleary is so bitterly op-
posed to the board.
I'VE deplore the situation al
State prison but the parole
board has done everything pos
Sible to cooperate with the
I commissioner and the warden.

oath of office to release desper-
ate felons into the community
