Many Congressional Vets Taste DefeGt in Election

New York, Nov. e--CUP)-The Re- publican Party's first national po~ litical success since 1880 brings new men into posts Of power, and blacks out many famous Democratic and New Deal names and faces.
 The man who will be speaker of the new House, Rep Joseph w. Martin. Jr,, tR.-MaSs), already has announced plans for intensive COP organizing work in Washington dur ing the next two months.
 When the new Congress meets in January, Martin will succeed Vet eran Sam Rayburn, D.-Tex), as a result of yesterdays sweeping Re- publican victories in an off-year Congressional election which saw many a yell-known Democrat de- feated after long service in the House or Senate.
 Martin Eager to Take Over
 The short. chunky, rasping voiced Martin long has been ready and eager to take the gavel from Ray burn. With 2l years Of House ser- vice behind him, has been minority leader for seven years He was Re- publican national Chairman in 1888,
 Martin was opposed in yesterdays election by Martha Sharp. Democra- tic wife of a Unitarian minister. She entered the campaign with the expressed belief that an intelligent woman could beat Martin, but he won handily.
 Rayburn, who had been speaker since l940, also won reelection, but many Of his Democratic colleagues in both houses were less fortunate.
 Among the veterans tasting de- feat was white -haired Sen. David I. Walsh. CD.-MassD. who will be "A on Nov. II. Walsh, chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs Commit tee. lost to 34-year-old Henry Cabot Lodge who resigned from the Senate curing the war to serve in the Army.
 Bricker Wins Seat
 A notable Republican addition to the Senate was John W. Bricker, former governor of Ohio and COP NACG~pTeSlOClAtidA CAAtAIAdNC AA ASF1 who is one of several men looming large in his party's presidential plans for l948. He defeated Demo- cratic Sen. James W. Huffman.
 Sen. Joseph F. Guffey. CD.-Pa), bitter-end New Dealer, was whipped soundly by Republican Gov. Ed ward Martin. and in Deleware Democratic Sen. James NJ. Tunnell another New Dealer, lost to John J. Williams. Republican.
 The Republican tide in the House races swept a long list Of we'll known Democrats to defeat, among them Rep. Andrew J. May, Ky chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee. May. whose re- latlons with the Carson Munitions Combine are under investigation by a Federal grand jury in Washington was beaten by W. Howes Meade, Republican.
 Another Kentucky veteran, En- melt O'Neal. a close friend of Ray burn and a strong Democratic in- fuence in the House. was retired. He lost to Republican Thurston B. Morton.
 Liberal VOOrhis Loses
 Also A Democratic casualty was Jerry Voorhis of California, hard working liberal who lost to Richard M. Nixon. Republican.

Ohio Companies Ask Thot Lewis
 Face Showdown

Cleveland, Nov. 6. tUP)-Attor- neys representing four Ohio coal companies today asked the NLRB to subpoena John L. Lewis, presi- dent of the United Mine Workers (AFLD, for a showdown on the issue of union utilization for super visory employees.
 They asked that Lewis, along with other top union and government officials be called to hearings set for Nov. i3 at St. Clairsville, O.. for action or a union petition on cer- tification of supervisory employees to the Mine Workers District 50.
 The companies reportedly will try 10 show that contracts covering supervisory employees written since the Government seized the mines have no force when mines are re- turned to private owners.
 The attorneys also asked that Adm. Ben Moreel. former Govern ment coal aoministrator. Capt. N HI Collisson, present administrator and Paul Herzog, NLRB chairman, be called.

"Specter of the Rose" which bears
the trademark of Republic Pictures,
is the backstage story of the ballet,

world more beautiful and succeed
only in making it funnier It's main
story line concerns the romance of
a male dancing genius. a madman
who has killed one wife and who
has new one perilously and des-
perately in love with him. In taking
his fling at the Nijinsky legend,
Hecht not only makes drama out
OF his heros insanity. but leaves the
impression the others also are de-
ranged, only not dangerously.
The overall floridity with which
he has handled the material, OBJ
scures the fact that there are dra-
matte and dance eXcellences in GER
tain passages Of "Specter of the
Rose" And other passages in which
the comic and poignant are artfully
enough blended to indicate that
Hecht. when he can relax, is, worth

tenders to creativeness which
most of them do not possess.
Hecht has gone to great pains
to make his people clear, but apart
from the one played by Judith
Anderson none of them every be-
comes real Miss Anderson is the
proprietress of La Bell Sylph's
academy of the ballet. She no
longer can dance. But she can
give great dancers to the world,
and the worlds applause to dancers
who merit it. Her favorite pupil
is Haidi Viola ESSEN. Haidis
favorite human, even more so than
La Belle Sylph, is Andre Sanine

suspicion for having killed his wife
and premier ballerina the last time
the two of them danced "Specter

sure, the music obsesses him. 1t
divests him of his real self and he
is terrified of the alter ego. If he
can dance "Specter of the Rose"
again. this time with Haidi, whose
love he returns completely, he
thinks perhaps he shall be free.
That is the story of Hecht's SCREEN
play and he does not care how ex-
it may become in the
telling or how many asides he per-
mits to interrupt.
Both the exaggerations and asides
can be 'wearisome and may give
an impression of the ballet that
the poor thing and its people will
be living down for many seasons.

The two young artists, Joan Field
violinist, and Vivian Rivkin, pianist
who gave last nights program in
the National Gallery of Art, are
gifted musicians already well estab-
lished in their particular field. Their
choice of numbers avoided the
hackneyed. while presenting techni.
cal problems that were easily over
come by the sound musical founda-
ton and the digital powers of the
two players.
AS yet, their facility is the mos
remarkable part of their perform
ance,. for, outside of the musica
approach, which both possess, the
deeper ideas and polish in delivery
are not SO perfected. The en-
semble, as demonstrated in Brahms
Sonata in D Minor" and in Pro-
kof1eff's Sonata in D Major" was
more playing together than blend
ing, and Miss Rivkin, who COM
n1ands power and dexterity, was in
clined to overshadow the violinist
in both these works. The Proko-
feff was f1uently presented and its
original characteristics well defined,
but on an even basis that lacked
any differentiation.
Miss Field has a strong arm and
agile fingers that draw large tone
from her instrument. Her playing
of Milstein's arrangement of the
posthumous Chopin "Nocturne in c
Sharp Minor" was beautifully con-
ceived, and Charles Freed's arrange
ment of "Greensleeves" and Ben
nett's "Hexapoda Suite" were num-
bers that showed the brilliant quail
ties of her playing and her tech
nical virtuosity.
Both Miss Field and Miss Rivkin
have fire and verve which gives an
exciting quality to their perform
ance, but which is too constantly
employed. Miss Rivkin disposed OF
the difficulties in the accompant-
ments and the piano parts of the
sonatas with complete skill and as
surance. Her group of soil con-
sisted of Debussy's Clair de Lune,
Defosse's The Girl From the
Rocks" and Spanish Dance" irl
George Copeland's arrangement
The program concluded with Alan
Shulman's Suite Based on Amer
lean Folk Songs" which was given
it's first local hearing.
Sulgrave Concert PleaseS.
Before a small but select audience
in the Sulgrave Club, George Cope
land played a program of French
and Spanish music last night with
the rare understanding for which
he is famous. AS a Debussy inter-
prefer, he stands supreme, having
a sensitive grasp of the fleeting
moods and the delicate colorine
used in so highly a descriptive man.

ner by the composer. The essen
tials of Spanish music also assume
a genuine character in his playing,
in which the accent is crisp, the
rhythm pronounced, and the at
mosphere vividly brought out.
The fine precision of his delivery
that gives a limpid quality to his
tone and the refinement Of his style
are striking and individual. The
Debussy group, consisting of La
Soiree dams Grenade" LES Fees
Sont d'Exquises Danseuses," "Danse
Sacree," "Canope" and "Poissons
dor" offered complete contrast to
the "Danse" from De Falla's
"L'Amor Brujo," Monpous Cant
Magic" Albeniz's "Malaguena" and
Cordoba" Pittaluga's La Ho-
guerra" Turina's "Sacro-Monte" and
his own arrangement of Chabrier's
"Espana." But the artists ex-
