Miss Brainard commended herself
to her listeners by her earnest ap-
proach to the music, by her assured
and fluent technique and by her
agreeable touch. Except for q few
instances when speed and fire car
ried her away, her performance was
clearly defined and embroidered by
well placed nuances. She displayed
firmly grounded musicianship and
the requisite skill to make 1t func-
ton.
1t followed, however, the general
pattern of a well-trained pianist.
What lay hidden deep in the music

lenging Is the full meaning Of his
subject, which the composer him
self insisted should remain enig-
matte.
Properly detached by the inter-
mission from the Strauss work was
the Sibelius symphony No. 2"
which was given q performance not
equalled in the orchestra's history.
Here is writing of bold dimensions
touching some frightening, primeyal
response yet at other times singing
with such moving warmth for
which the language Of today has no
words to describe adequately. Every
measure has drama in 1t but drama
sensed yet foreign to all that other
composers have incorporated in
their music. Such tremendous de-
mands on insight are not taxing on
DR.. Kinder whose grasp of the
potentialities of this music was illus
trated in the fine details of yester-
days presentation. 1t touched the
audience with excitement and the
ovation that followed for conductor
and men showed how greatly 1t was
stirred.
The way was directed toward this
dramatic finale by the playing OF
Handeps Concerto Crosse in B
Flat" and the first local perform
ance of Anis Fuleihan's Melody for
Winds" Although Mr.. Fuleihan
states that his work is an etude
principally designed for technical
practice for the wind instruments,
without this explanation, no one
would so Judge 1t. 1t is lovely con-
cert number, full of atmosphere
with its string background, and
beautifully designed. The section
OF the orchestra for which it was
specially intended stood out as a
remarkably fine group of players
and they again demonstrated their
artistry in the Sibelius symphony
in the portions of the first and last
movement where individual instru-
ments are heard in poignant con-
trast to the light, flowing accom-
paniment Of the cellos.

Kindler,s watchfulness and resource
fulness In balancing shadings al
lowed this to be apparent only oc-
casionally.
The numbers programmed yester-
day tested the mettle Of the group
and it came through with flying
colors. For its quick response to
changing moods, the orchestra's S
first performance Of Richard
Strauss It'll Eulenspiegels Merry
Franks" was an excellent example.
In the musical story Strauss has
made of the jocund Till and his
escapades, there is continual flash
ing of light, droll, mischievous, H.
lusive and sometimes serious. In
the quickly moving kaleidoscope Of
sound, the orchestra maintained the
utmost clarity and achieved a wealth
OF small effects with skill. Strauss
in a lighter mood is not less the
master of orchestral tone and the
lntricacies Of the score are as chal-

National Symphony Brilliant
In First Sunday Performance
By Alice Eversmon

The National Symphony Orches-
ira, in all the glory Of tone Of its
enlarged ensemble, gave the first
of the Sunday concerts yesterday
afternoon. It was a memorable af-
fair from various angles; particu-
larly from the rich and flexible
playing Of the men and the fine and
inspiring direction OF DR.. Hans
Kinder. Certainly the conductor
revels in the sorority he can evoke
from his men and they. too, seemed
stimulated to the full display Of
their powers.
The entire playing Of the group
this season is much more graphic
than it has been. Each section Is
brought into more vivid relief and
in consequence, the united volume
has combination of color that
reaches, at last, the long-desired
expressiveness for intricate SYM
phonic works. It is possible that
some Of the tone Is magnified by

Five States Will Send
Delegates 10 Discuss
Virginia Truck Tax

Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer said yesterday five States had
agreed to send representatives here
at 2 pm. Thursday to discuss retail
iation against Virginia if that State
resumes 2 per cent tax on out-of-
State motor carriers.
The tax against Virginia earnings
of District common and contract
carriers became effective Tuesday,
but State spokesman said no de-
mandS would be made before April /.
Mr.. Van Duzer said only New Jer-
sey remained to be heard from in
response to his invitations. States
which so far have accepted. he said,
are Maryland, Delaware, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.
Although it had been planned
originally to invite Virginia to ex-
plain its tax plan, Mr.. Van Duzer
said the matter had been reconsider
ed and no invitation would be sent
to Richmond. He explained that
the other representatives probably
would feel free to discuss the mat
ter without Virginia representative
present.
The District, which has it's own
plan of retaliation involving the
subjection of Virginia carriers tt
motor vehicle levies when they pass
through the city, is holding off unit
after Thursdays conference.
The Virginia General Assembly
meets Wednesday in Richmond anc
it was hoped some action might be
taken there against the resumption
of the prewar tax.
Until Tuesday, the District anc
Virginia operated under a wartime
reciprocal agreement covering the
common and contract carriers. Gov
Darden, however, announced in Oc-
tober his plan to resume the levy
on out-of- State carriers. The other
States invited to the conference
Thursday also are subject to the tax
it was said.

Latest scientific methods of rat
control-including experiments with
DOT and the new rat poison, "1080,"
used by the armed forces during
the war-were demonstrated yes
terday at the Health Departments
Bureau of Sanitation by DIR. John
Essex, Public Health Service expert
of Atlanta.
DR., Essex came to Washington to
assist in an intensive rat control
program resulting from the discov-
cry of typhus infected rats here,
following the Districts first case
of typhus in three years.
The drive will include efforts to
determine whether the typhus in
fected rats have spread from the
second block of K street NE, where
three have been found since the
typhus victim recovered. The most
suitable methods of determination
also will be decided during the ex-
periments directed by DR.. Essex.
Maj. w. H. Cary, jr., director of
the Bureau of Sanitation, said the
"l000' Will be used only on an eX-
perimental basis as it is too dan
gerous to be handled except under
controlled conditions.
Results Spectacular.
Describing 1000" as spectacular, !"
DR.. Essex said it is so lethal that
any animal which eats a rat which
has had the poison, also is killed.
The victim itself probably dies a few
minutes after the poison is con-
sumed, he said
A white powder, 1000" is mixed
with water-l4 grams to a gallon
and put in containers where The
rats will find it, he said. Rats ap-
parently like the taste and, because
no bait is required, it is a very in
expensive method. he added.

to be poisonous to any meat-eating
animal

point of the current study of the
