 Candidates Record in Senate Betrays
 CalIOus Disregard for Human Rights

Washington, D. c. His friends have thrown Senator Robert A. Taft's hat into the ring for the Re- publican presidential nomination, thus exposing his bald spot to the public spotlight and calling atten- tion to his softheaded policies.
 Despite the bUild-up some of the reactionary Washington columnists have given the Ohio Senator as a courageous" and ''forthright" po- 1itician, he still coyly refrainS from announcing his own candidacy. Ob- viously on the hunt for delegates. he insists his forthcoming speech making tour of the country will be merely to tell the people about the record of the .80th Congress. which he helped to fashion.
 Tn reviewing that record, Sena- tor Taft may see fit to omit some of the facts in order to make the picture look prettier. Just to keep the record straight, here are a few which every American work ingman and woman should remem-

|Kodaly Conducts
'Missa Brevis' in
Premiere Here
BY Elena de Soyn

Zoltan Kodaly, famous Hungarian
composer, on short visit in this
country, conducted the American
premiere of his "Missa Brevis" last
night in the Covenent- First Presby-
terian Church. It remained for
Theodore Schaefer, Minister of
Music of the church, to make his
tory for the community by permit
ting the hearing of a work of such
extraordinary beauty as is the
"Missa Brevis." 1t was sung by the
Chancel Choir, three soloists: Faith
Harlow Swank, contralto, George
Barritt, tenor and Harold Ronk,
baritone, and three treble voices:
Julie Curtis, Evelyn Meyer, sopranos
and Rachel Koerner, mezzo- o-soprano.
Accompanied by the Rev. Edward
l.. r. Elson, who introduced him, Mr..
Kodaly made his entrance after a
short evening worship. OF digni-
fed and quiet bearing, the COM
poser directed his work with the
concentration and poise of master,
indicating only with slight, precise
motions of his left hand the order
of entries. Mr.. Schaefer was at the
console. The performance was in
spring not only because of the
glamour connected with the event
hut because the singers threw them
selves so wholehearted1y into 1t and
gave finished performance. Much
work must have gone into the prep
aration of this difficult work, strange
as to intervals, but never offensive
to the ear.
The "Missa," following the reg
ular form of the Roman Catholic
ritual, is devotional in character and
modern In harmonization The
|three-voice sections, high and pure,
heard frequently throughout the
composition, play an important part
and lend touch of an imaginary
heavenly choir. It opens with a
majestic, choral-like interlude on
the organ, which prefaces a con-
tralto solo against the darker tone
of mems voices.
The splendors of the GLORIA" are
contrasted with the seriousness Of
the "Credo" and the meditative
character of the "Sanctus" which
grows toward the climax with so
much of the heroic and the jubilant.
Prevailing spiritual in character, it
is loftily conceived and set forth in
a manner to reach the heart of the
listener. Not only is 1t uplifting but
also exhilarating. A short reception
was held in the church auditorium
after the performance to meet the
composer.

The animal is the ground hog or

On a mild winter day it might come
