and sometimes beaten until the
Arabs finally set him free. Pri-
;vate informants identified the man
as Itshak Biri, IS.
Shortly afterward, police arrested
five Arabs. The officers said the
fight evidently resulted from long
standing quarrel over grazing rights
around Bnai Geulim, 10 miles east
of Nathanya, between Haifa and
Tel Aviv, and the nearby Arab vii
lage of II Amrak.
The private sources said some
100 Arabs carrying knives and sticks
started the fight with a raid in
which seven Jews were wounded.
There was no official confirmation
of private reports of brushes be-
tween moderate and extremist Jew
ish groups.
Ten armed Jews believed to be-

Hatzair young guard political
party were reported to have kid

the all-Jewish City of Tel Aviv,
where IL persons were hurt night

on Hashomir Party headquarters.
Hashomir Hatzair has voiced strong
opposition to underground violence.
+, Meanwhile, Irgun Zvai Leumi, the
larger of Palestine's two aggressive
underground armies, declared in a
radio broadcast that 'the British
must pay with their blood for all
Jewish blood shed" Last Sunday
AN unauthorized Jewish immigrant
was wounded fatally aboard an in
tercepted blockade runner, and next
day three suspected Irgunists were
sentenced to death.
Gen. Barker, British Army COM
mander in Palestine, postponed the
execution of Dow Bella Gruner, con-
:demned Irgunist, pending an appeal
to Britain's Supreme Court, the
Privy Council.
Authorities said the case would
drag out for months and maybe q
year. Gruner originally was sched-
uled to hang last month for raid
on a police station. He himself re-
fused to sign an appeal, but lawyers
acted for him at the request of an
uncle, Frank Gruner, now living in
Florida.

The Causes of
Modern Music -

The subject of contemporary
music has been approached often
by various writer's, but never
from quite the same angle as does
Max Graf in his book, Modern
Music" This eminent and pro-
life author takes as his thesis the
causes of modern. music. He
glances comprehensively over the
political, social, philosophical and
artistic trends of centuries that
unite to form the revolutionary
musical ideas of the present time.
The direct influences can be
summed up in his words: Con-
temporary composers no longer
lived and created in a uniformly
intellectual world. They were no
longer united by an absolute
world philosophy. Each of them
stood by himself in the midst of
whirls of IDEAS"
After a summary of conditions
during the classic and romantic
periods, he moves quickly to the
outstanding modernists. He an
alyses the intervals before World
War I, that of the years between
the two wars and the present day.

PLANTATION of modern music in re-
lation to world events, its progress
has more logic.
Russian
Composers
Biographies of Russian COM
posers continue to exceed those of
other nationalities. The most in
formative of these is Alexei
Ikonnikov's "Myaskowsky, His
Life and Work" This book about
a composer who is not too well
known here is chiefly valuable for
the detailed listing of his works
and their content. The biograph-
ical data is condensed but shows
the influences at work during the
early life of the composer under
the Czarist government and those
under the Soviets where he won
enduring fame. Israel Nestyev's
Serge Prokofieff, His Musical
Life written with the cooper
alton of the composer, is COM
prehensive study of different Pc
riods and circumstances that had
a bearing on his musical develop
ment. He begins at the begin
ming, faithfully tracing the COM
poser's progress claiming, how
ever, as the Towering effect on
his genius, his return to the So
Wet fold. No new light Is con-
tributed on the composer in An
toni Gronowicz's "Sergei Rach-
maninoff" as it follows almost
literally the "Rachmaninoff Rec
elections" by Oskar Won Riese-
mann. Mr.. Gronowicz adds only
the last years to formerly bet
ter told story.
1.-THE Music of TschaikovSky" is
a survey of the composers works
written by different music critics
and edited by the British critic,
Gerald Abraham. The various
branches of composition which
the Russian essayed are portioned
out between these writer's, nine
in all, who analyze them with a
thoroughness never before ac-
corded them. Only one chapter,
by Edward Lockspeiser, is de-
voted to "Tschaikovsky, the
Man." the rest of the biograph-
ical material being woven into the
estimates of his compositions by
the other authors. 1t Is a read
able and informative book in
spite of the collaboration of so
many writer's.
Decidedly entertaining but for
different reasons are Bruno Wall
ter's autobiography cleverly en-
titled Theme and Variations"
and Gretchen Damrosch Finlet-
ter's From the Top of the Stairs
The former is a nostalgia look
backward by the renowned con-
ductor on the years of his child
hood in Berlin and his subse-
quent career all over Europe.
While Mr.. Walter dwells with
affectionate remembrances on
those past times, he enlivens his

One of the Greatest
Biographies in Music

AS in the preceding volumes,
Newman is animated by his deep
admiration for Wagner'S genius,
but is not blinded by it TO a just
estimate of his character. The
material for this book is close to
the memory of an older genera
tion and has to do with his mar
riage to Cosima Won Bulow, his
friendship with King Ludwig II
of Bavaria, the creation of Bay
reuth, and on to the composers
death. Wagner's questionable
behavior toward the King, his
peculiar thought processes and
the fanatical devotion of Cosima
to him and to his plans are not
CLOSED over but lucidly brought
out.
The four books form one of the
greatest biographies ever writ
ten. Mr.. Newman is not only a
profound scholar, sure of his facts
as the 16 years required for the
completion Of the biography
shows, but a writer who presents
his analysis in readable style.
In the exhaustive treatment of
his we'll -documented subject, it is
a book for musicians and laymen
alike. Yet, as Newman says,
mo life of Wagner can be con-
sidered as anything like final
until Wahnfried has opened many
more of it's treasures to our ex-
animation; it is probable, indeed,
that more than one of our pres
ent facts and judgments will call
for correction or modification
when certain eagerly awaited doc
uments are published in full,
when letters are released from
quarantine and when a number
of passages that have obviously
been suppressed in letters already
published have been restored"

Books on Music

- r IS something of COIN
cidence that, with the war
ended, should come the final
volume Of Ernest Newman's
"The Life of Richard Wagner"
This great German composer was
animated by much the same
ideas as developed under the
Nazi regime and it will remain
for future historians to prove how
influential was his answering
belief in the destiny Of Germany
to work the worlds salvation, in
building the political edifice that
caused SO much havoc.
Wagner dreamed of art as the
great regeneration, however, yet
he was political minded enough
to take sides firmly in such mat
ters all during his life. He, too,
believed in the power of racial
purity among the Germans, OF
their intellectual superiority, of
the saving grace of German cul-.
ture and of a new world they
would build. But he dreamed OF
himself as the great spirit in this
movement and not of a Hitler
who was to do him honor by
reverent command performances
of his music dramas in the focal
point of Wagner's kingdom, Bay
reuth.
Newman published the first
volume of his Life of Richard
Wagner in 1888 covering the
initial IS years of his life. The
second volume discussed the next
IL years with the third limited to
the following important six years.
The concluding work, which is
by far the most important mu-
sical book of recent issuing,
rounds out the stormy and bril-
liant story of one of the greatest
figures in musical history.
