Bows Town Choir Gives
Appealing, Artistic Concert
By Alice Eversmon

Father Flannagan's Boys Town
Choir made its bow here last night
In Constitution Hall, bringing some
thing different in choral singing.
When other choirs, touring the
country, stop in Washington the
public is treated to a highly de-
veloped art bearing some individual
stamp. The Boys Town Choir has
all this and something more. It has
an unplanned power of growing
more and more appealing the more
1t is heard. In the beginning it is an
assembly Of sweet voiced singers. In
the end, it Is a distinctive choral
group that can be listened to with
ever-increasing enjoyment.
This is not the result Of great
vocal material, great music or ex-
ceptional trained technique. It Is
simply the effect of pure, unforced
singing in polished manner of a
group of children ranging from IL
to 18 years of age. The training of
the director, the Rev. Francis
Schmitt, is apparent at once but, as
the program progresses, its character
and extensiveness is revealed as be-
ing as fine and discriminating as
that of more vaunted ensembles. 1t
is artistry of high order adapted
to the possibilities of the singers.
The combined volume of the
group is small and there is no great
vocal range. At first this is missed
but only for short time, for then
the purity and sweetness of tone,
the exquisitely accurate harmoniza-
ton and the beautiful musical ef-

fects achieved by the 40 boys be-
gins to work their magic. The
audience capitulated completely and
the applause was enthusiastic.
The soprano division is the finest
and the boys maintain impeccable
pitch. Three of their number sang
Franck's "Panis Angelicus" to soft
vocal accompaniment and a young
ster, name unknown, with lovely
high voice, made quite the hit Of the
program with his singing of Schu-
bert's ave Maria" Rogers MA
riawiegenlied" was another number
in which the soprano trio shone.
The program was divided in two
sections, the first of religious and
the second of secular music. For
their churchly numbers, the boys
were dressed in black gown and sur
plice with soft, red tie under broad
turned down collars. The a capella
singing of Lotti's Regina Coeli, u
Palestrina's 20 Bone Jesu" and
Michael Haydn's I'm Monte Oliveti'
and the four excerpts from Faure's
Requiem" with John Foley at the
piano, was marked by well-defined
nuances and a musicianly delivery
Changing into blue trousers and
natty double breasted white coats,
the boys, five Negroes among them,
launched into the secular songs that
made up the remainder Of the pro-
gram. No demands were made in
the matter of special music on the
young voices for the selections in

Probable Center of Milky Way
Discovered by Photography
By Thomas R. Henry

Discovery of the probable center
of the Milky Way galaxy, the 50,-
900, 900, ,000-star system of which the
solar system is an inf1nitestimable
part, has just been announced by
astronomers of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition of Washington.
Although the approximate loca-
ton in the direction Of the constel-
lation Sagittarius in the southern
heavens has been known for the last
rs years from mathematical calcu-
lations, it has been hidden behind
supposedly impenetrable black cur
tain of star dust. Astronomers,
photographing similar galaxies
across hundreds of trillions Of miles
of empty space, have found in each
of them thickening Of stars, or
rather of stellar invisible light, at
the center.
Presumably the same was true
of the Milky Way system, lens
shaped aggregation of stars about
sc, 600, 900 ,0O0. 900 900 miles thick and
400, ,000, 900 900 ,000, 900 miles in di-
amter, with the sun and earth not
far from its edge.
The black curtain stopped all visi-
BILE wave-lengths of light from the
center. During the last two sum-
mers, Drs. Joel Stebbins Of the Car
negie staff and associates sought
to penetrate the curtain with photo
graphic plates sensitive to the in
visible "black light" far below the
infra a-red range Of human vision.
They worked on the same theory as
is used by photographers who en-
ploy red sensitive plates to improve

Recital at Sulgraye Club.
The joint recital given by Minna
Niemann. pianist, and Wilson Ewart,
baritone, in the Sulgrave Club yes
terday afternoon drew a large and
appreciative audience. Miss Niemapn
included the seldom played "Prae-I
ludium and Fuga" by Clara Schu-
mann among her first numbers and
three works by cambridge Crist,
who was present in the audience, in
the second. After three opera arias,
Mr.. Ewart closed the recital with a
group of folk songs.
The Crist numbers, "A Singing
Bird" and "A Painted Clock" from
I'm a Swiss Toy Shop" and "An
Evening Song" were played with
light grace that disclosed the lyric
quality of Miss Niemann's tone and
her praiseworthy technical equip
ment. While she does not possess
great volume or variety of shadings,
her playing is lucid and seriously di-
rected. Her approach was so illum-
mated in the Chopin group consist
ing Of "Impromptu, op. 81, No. g."
"Mazueka, op. 81, No. A." and the
Etudes, Nos. 6 and 8 of opus Is.
Mr.. Ewart's baritone is Of rich

coloring of the "Credo" from Verdi's

Republicans Weigh
Drastic Revision Of
Wagner Labor Act
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

Republicans may propose dras-
tic revision of the Wagner Labor
Relations Act in some of the first
bills dropped into the hopper o1
the Eightieth Congress, Senator
Ball, Republican, of Minnesota
said today.
Senator Ball, who will rank high
on the new Education and Labor
Committee, told a reporter he ane
COP colleagues expect to DRAFT
amendments holding unions equal
ly responsible with management un.
der the act.
He said the Republicans, whs
furnished most of the support fol
the so-called Case bill in the Sew.
enty-ninth Congress, will seek early
re-enactment of some of it's provi-
sions. President TruRan's veto laid
the Case bill low, although one Of
of its sections, the Hobbs Anti.
racketeering" Act, later became Law
with his signature.
Hits Secondary Boycotts.
Senator Ball said he would like
to see an attempt made early into
the session to legislate prohibitions
against secondary boycotts, regula-
ton of union welfare funds anc
provisions making unions subject tc
suit for violation of collective bar
gaining contracts.
Harold e. Stassen, former Mime
sofa Governor and candidate fol
the next Republican presidential
nomination, also urged changing the
labor laws.
Republicans will develop a pro-
gressive program in the House and
Senate" Mr.. Stassen said in radio
interview. There will be no re-
peal of social legislation. However
I do recommend amending the Wag-
ner Act to give employers the same
freedom of speech as employees now
enjoy"
Bargaining Probe Seen.
Senator Ball said it is likely the
introduction of Wagner Act amend
ments will signal a Congressional
investigation into all phases Of in
dustry-wide collective bargaining
which he contended should be reg
ulated under the basic labor rights
law.
He added that the question of
foremen's unions also ought to be
investigated.
President Truman proposed to the
last Congress a thorough-goin in
quiry into all phases Of industrial
union relations. The Minnesota
Senator, however, said he thinks
Congress has enough information
on many angles and ought not to
waste time with repetitious investi-
cations.
Senator Ball declared Congress
should stress in any future legisla-
ton a guarantee of the individuals
right to work free Of union affilia-
ton.
"One of the hardest tasks" he
said, ''is going to be making sure
that in correcting abuses of the
labor laws we don't interfere with
the legitimate rights Of labor in
collective bargaining.
"We are. going to have to arrive
at conclusions as a result of detailed
study and not Jump at them. II
Wagner Act amendments are intro
duced, they should be the subject Of
sufficient hearings to determine
their workability.

the affair would be to have one
club sponsor a dance every two
weeks and then to have the club
members pledge themselves to
a certain number of dinners
and then invitations sent out to
captains of ships and submarines
here and to COS of shore based
units. It is the closest way to
get to the heart of servicemen.
A big help to work with al
ways are the four USO units
here which are fine factor for
building service morale.

STRONGEST EDITORIAL
FORCE

The power of the press has
never waned in spite of govern
mental attacks, in spite of other
publicity agencies coming into
the limelight. If the press pro-
ceeds with a careful, honest an
alysis of the situation bringing
out to light facts which the
people know are right and prob
ably didn't know before and then
takes a firm stand, the people
will be with you. Thus in the
case of p0mbers instead of
names Of the streets. Instructive
ly we jumped when this PROPOSE
3 ton came to light, then as we
talked to more and more each
contributing his facts, letters to
the editors pouring in, we began
10 assemble the facts and smack
cd the proposition between the
eyes. Yesterday Publicity Chair
man Enrique Esquinaldo of the
Lions Club announced to The
Citizen that he would ask the
Lions Club to shut off the poll.
Now again this wasn't solely our
power, it was just that we were
on the right track and had the
people behind US. Then of course
the hardest editorial punch you
can swing is that on the hard
and fast, clearly seen, black print
white paper of a newspaper.
