D. Charter Bill
Being Perfected
BySenate Group
Subcommittee to Add
a New Members to
Proposed Commission
By Don S. Worren

Senate District leaders are plan
ming further conferences this week
with the hope of perfecting the
McCarran Federal City charter
commission bill for action.
An important step was taken
late yesterday when members of
the House Rule Subcommittee, in
charge of the measure, announced
a decision to raise the number of
charter commission members from
Z to II.
Three Of the extra four members
have been agreed upon, and their
names will be added to the list
contained in the measure.
They are Joseph j. Malloy, Wash
ington attorney, long active in the
District Department of the Ameri-
can Legion and the Veterans of
Foreign Wars; Mrs. Gertrude
Parks, president of the District Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, and
Lewis T. Breuninger, Washington
lawyer, real estate dealer and
builder.
11th to be Selected.
James r. Kirkland, counsel to
the Senate District Committee, said
he hoped selection of the 18th
member of the proposed commits
sion would be made before the end
of this week.
Civic leaders already named in
the McCarran bill as proposed men,
bers are: Renah F. Camalier, Will
bur S. Finch, Woolsey w. Hall,
Jesse B. Manbeck, Joseph c. Nc
Garraghy, Mrs. Louis Gutenberg and
Mrs. Charles H. Weston.
Mr.. Kirkland said he had not
announced the conference in ad-
vance because no formal meeting Of
the subcommittee had been planned
and because the conference, held
in executive session, was designed
to ascertain if the suggested addi-
tional members of the group met
the technical qualifications of Dis
trict residence and the like. He an
nounced decisions of the subcom-
mittee members shortly after agree
ment was reached.
The text of one rewritten section
also was made public. AS previously
indicated, the group has agreed to
drop the requirement Of the origi-
nal McCarran bill that the charter
commission recommend a charter
calling for a manager-city council
form Of government.
Section Rewritten.
As rewritten, but apparently still
subject to formal vote, the section
would direct the charter commits
sion to prepare, and transmit to
Congress within one year, a "no.:-
partisan government charter" for
Washington which shall provide for
home rule with adequate representa-
ton and recognition of the Federal
interests in the District of Colum-
bia Government"
The session yesterday was at
tended by Home Rule Chairman
Ball and Senators Buck, Republican
of Delaware, and Holland, Democrat.
of Florida. The one other subcom-
mittee member, Senator Johnston,
Democrat, of South Carolina, could
not attend but received a report on
the meeting.
Citizens attending the conference
included Mr.. Hall, Mr.. Manbeck,
Mr.. McGarraghy, Mrs. Weston, Mrs.
Parks and Mr.. Malloy.

By EIeno de Soyn

The recital by Arnold Black, vio-
linist, with Joseph Levine as ac-
compar1ist at the piano, aroused
more than usual interest among the
patrons of the Phillips Gallery yes
terday afternoon. Latecomers found
1t impossible to pass beyond the
lobby for the many standees who
crowded the passage to the audi
torium and its adjoining room, both
of which were filled to capacity.
The audience heard rewarding
performance Of Brahms Sonata
No. l in G Major. Op. 49,; Debussy's
Sonata" and Barbers Concerto"
all of which Mr.. Black played from
memory and with distinction. His
delivery, tonally musical and tech
nically mature. was in no way indie
ative of slight physical handicap
which he has apparently completely
overcome, being able to do strenu-
Gus work as member of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra. He
gave the best exhibition of his abil-
ity in the concerto, believed to have
been heard for the first time.
This work, of melodious character,
is graceful from violinistic point of
view. The composer makes a wise
use of practically the entire violin
range in a soulful cantilena, smooth
and easy to follow. He does not
crowd the score with dissonance, nor
has he much recourse to double
stops. The second movement is an
exception, some weird chord combi-
nations developing eventually into
climax of dramatic intensity. Clar-
ity Of defined phrasing and shading
were more or less missing. In
Brahms and Debussy Mr.. Black
could have applied the same prin-
ciple with good effect, although
Debussy's sonata offered him a
greater field for the imaginative Of
which he availed himself success
fully.
The presto in Moto Perpetuo" OF
the concerto was given the most
outstanding performance of the
afternoon. In this the violinist fully
confirmed the good impression made
by him as technician in the be-
ginning of the recital. The move
ment abounds in opportunities of
exacting nature as to speed and
agility of the bow with which Mr..
Black coped with poise and pre-
cision. Mr.. Levine gave excellent
support at the piano.

the Plains. Composed originally as
film music, the score has been ar
ranged for a concert performance
with a narrative by Pare Lorentz.
Paul Chandler Hume took the part
of the narrator.
The music is descriptive of a

contains several lovely episodes
outstanding for their charm. The
sad chapter at the conclusion, re-
ferring to the acres of grass con-
verted into wheat fields ito help to

draught, brings the work to a
solemn end. Both Mr.. Bales and
Mr.. Hume excelled in interpreting
a composition which invites repeti-
ton.

ARMISTICE SPEECH
CITES DANGERS OF
COMMUNISM IN u. S.
Ohio Vice. Commander
Sees Russia Attempting
Weaken Our Standing

In an impressive and forceful
message depicting the pitfalls OBJ
structing the way of the world
peace, Carl Smith, of Kenton,
state vice commander of the Ohio
Department, American Legion,
gave the annual Armistice Day
address, at the Marysville high
school auditorium, Tuesday eve
ming.
The evenings program was
sponsored by Union Post No. 70,

mander William c. Otte presided
over the opening and closing
rituals of the service. County
Supt. Gale w. Baldwin, immedi-
ate post commander of District 6,
American Legion, was chairman
of the meeting and introduced the
speaker, following the opening
services.
Mr.. Smith centered his talk on
Communism, in world affairs and
in the United States. He declared
that, in his belief, the purpose of
the Soviet foreign policy is to
weaken the United States stand
ing in the world and to isolate the
United States from the rest of the
world.
Answering his own question
What about Communists in
American, Mr.. Smith said that
Communists in America take their
policies direct from the policies
of the Russion leaders. Therefore
he stated, communism is not
merely political party.
Having very strong conviction
against communism, Mr.. Smith
stated, What this world needs
is long range program of reedu-
cation" He added that before de-
mocracy can work in the rest of
the world we must first, MAKE
democracy work in America"
Although only a rather scatter
ed crowd Of 125 to $50 attended,
a very nice service was presented.
Included in the services were
Carl Vollrath and Carleton Forty,
the post color guards; John c.
Williams, chaplain; Luther L.
Liggett jr. first vice commander;
Gene Smith and Eugene Rausch,
immediate past commander.

band presented a short concert.

NOV. Is DEADLINE
FOR GIFT PROGRAM
Red Cross Project
Must be Done Then

Christmas eve, as far as the
Veteran Gift Shop project is con-
cerned is Nov. Is. That is the
deadline for delivering your gift
to Red Cross Headquarters or
calling 3941 for someone to pick
up your selection.
Refer today to the Sawyer Red

your mind. Take your purchase

these gifts on Nov. Is to the
Chillicothe Veterans Hospital
where other volunteers will set
up the Christmas Gift Shop. Vet
erans will select, without cost to
them, the presents to be sent to
their relatives. This opportunity
to select and give is of real value
in the recuperative process of
some of these veterans, for Christ
mas giving is natural impulse
which needs to be expressed.
The success of the Christmas
season at the Chillicothe hospital
depends upon the cooperation of
the surrounding Red Cross chap
ters. The Union County chapter
is aware that many groups and
individuals want to participate in
this project, so, be reminded that
November 18th is Christmas Eve.

MIDDLEBURG HOME
RAzED BY FIRE

The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Norviel in Middleburg was
completely destroyed by fire late
Sunday afternoon, with loss es-
timated at more than $6000 Most
of the furniture was saved, only
a few articles on the second floor
being. burned.
The fire was discovered about
4:30 p. m. by Mr.. and Mrs. Del
mer Fawley, of south of Middle
burg, who were going past in
their automobile. At that time,
the entire attic was ablaze, and
it was believed the fire started
from defective flue.
The Norviels were at home at
the time, Mrs. Norviel being in
the kitchen preparing supper. The
fire department from North
Lewisburg was called, but the
blaze had gained such headway
that it was impossible to save the
modern, 2-story home.
Neighbors quickly gathered at
the fire and succeeded in getting
out most of the furniture before
the flames broke out of the attic
into the lower floors.

MARYSVILLE HIGH
BASKETBALL TEAM
BEGINS PRACTICE
Prospects are Good
For Successful Year:
Six Lettermen Back

First practice for the 1947-48
basketball season was held by
the Marysville high school team
in the gymnasium Wednesday
afternoon. Opening game is at
London Nov. 26.
With six lettermen, all of them
of above-average ability and five
of them 6 feet or more tall, the
Monarchs bid fair to be one of
the best basketball teams this
season that the Marysville school
has had in a good many years.
Coach Warren Widner Widner is
pretty happy over the prospects.
Back from last years squad
which went to the finals of the
district tournament and lost out
only in a double-overtime to
Plain City, are these boys:
Lettermen Back
Jack Mcclure, foot forward,
a senior. He is the best guard on
the team, and is an outstanding
player when it comes to getting
the ball off the bankboards, either
on the offense or defense.
Jerry Kingsmore, 6'3" center,
a senior. He will hold down the
pivot spot on the team and also
assist in offensive rebound work
under the basket. His speciality
is one-handed push shot from
the pivot position, and feeding
the ball to the forwards as they
break past.
John Dayton, 6'2" guard,
Junior. His chief ability is defen-
sive play and rebound work,
where he makes good use of his
height and strength to go in after
the ball.
Harry Evans, 6 foot guard,
senior. He is the best floor man
on the squad. A good shot, he is
also outstanding when it comes
to feeding the ball to the pivot
position, and breaking in for the
basket. He is also strong de-
fensive player.
Art Streng, $40" guard,
senior. He is fast, a good ball
handler, and probably the best
long shot specialist on the team.
Like Evans, he is a good floor
man.
Bill Wall, 81" forward, a
senior. He is a good shot, especial
ly from the region of the free
throw circle, and good when it
comes to feeding the ball. But
he is weak when it comes to de-
fensive work, or was all last
season, and will have to improve
in this department.
