By Eleno de Soyn

It does not occur often that two
concerts of modern music In one
afternoon could give as much pleas
ure as those presented yesterday at
the Pan-American Union and
Phillips Gallery. The artists who
so forcefully championed the cause
and whose convincing performance
helped the audience to fall In step
with the times were Hector Tosar
Errecart, Uruguayan composer
pianist, his assisting artists, Teresa
Orrego-Salas, Chilean soprano, and
the Metz Quartet Of New York,
appearing In the Hall Of the Ameri-
cas-, and Jesse Tryon, violinist Of
the Navy Band, who gave recital
in the gallery.
Senior Tosar's accomplishment as
pianist Is already well known
here. Still in his early 20s, a for
mer child prodigy hailed from
Monteyideo, he Is also winner OF
many honors and prizes as COM
poser which enabled him to con-
tinue his studies now In this coun-
try. The three forms of musical
composition for piano, voice and
strings presented yesterday after
noon show him as contrapunctist
and melodist of high order.
The swift Toccata-like "Impro-
visation," colored by an unusua.
combination of intervals in the
middle voices, the "Vals, Homemade
a Ravel," stressing rather the i'm
pressions of ballroom than the
waltz time, and the native rhythms
Criolla" were interesting
examples of his individuality. His
assurance and artistic manner OF
playing in addition, made the works
the more enjoyable.
Miss Crrego's sympathetic treat
ment of Mr.. Tosar's songs brought
forth their intrinsic melodic con-
tent. Composed to words by Jose
M. Peman, each of the six poems
from Gel Barrio de Santa Cruz
gave the impression of miniature
paintings varied in mood. AS fol
giving the best idea of the compos-
er's style, 1t remained for the Metz
Quartet and it's four talented men,
bers: Andor 10th and Stuart Canin
violins: Norman Lamb, viola, and
Madeline Foley, cello, to show it al
its best. The whimsical parts OF the
first movement, and the subtly
voluptuous note running through
the impressionistic "Adagio" were
treated with exquisite delicacy Of
timbre and uniformity Of tone and
character. Reminiscent somewhat OF
the slow part of Debussy's quartet
this movement has beauty and gives
a good opportunity for each player
to be heard above the others. Soil
tude," a number for voice and
string quartet, closed the concert
which was the last in the series fea-
turing works by outstanding Latin
American composers.
Tryon Gives Unusual Program.
Mr.. Tryon, supported by his artis.
tic collaboration at the piano, Johr
Wigent, also of the Navy Band, gave
an unusually interesting program a!
to type and variety of composition
presented. Selecting for his opening
number an early suite for violin ane
piano by Leo Sowerby, he asserted
himself at once as a violinist who's,
technical proficiency matches hi
powers Of interpreter. Gifted with {
naturally resonant and sensitive
tone, the violinist had no difficulty
in making the best Of this graceful
and brilliant work. Almost classic II

Most Liberal Steel Pact
Signed by Allegheny
Ry fhe A,soeiolsd Praxs

PITTSBURGH, May 5.-The CO.
United Steelworkers and the Ale
gheny Ludlum Steel Corp. signed a
contract over the week end which
both hailed as the most liberal"
ever negotiated by the union with
a basic steel producer.
The new 2-year pact, covering
10000 workers, provides fiat 1917
cent pay raises, plus other benefits
which both the company and union
said lifted the average take home
pay more than 20 cents an hour.
The contract follows the United
States Steel pattern.
The corporation agreed to bear all
costs of far-reaching group insur-
ance plan started last year. The
company will pay for a $4,000 life
insurance policy for each worker
and an additional $4,000 policy
which covers sickness, hospitaliza-
ton and surgical benefits. The fam
lilies of employees are covered and
maternity care also is provided.
In the past, company and union

The body Of q blond woman, n

Morgue today, still unidentified
more than "a hours after dis

Senate Group Report
Calls Taft Bill Key 10
End Housing Shortage
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Senate Banking Committee
believes the Taft-Ellender- Wagner
housing bill will make possible the
construction of more housing, more
quickly, at lower cost and for more
income groups than otherwise can
be produced"
A detailed report on the measure,
which the committee approved 7 to
6 last month, was made public last
night by Chairman Tobey.
The committee said the measure
is "imperatively necessary" 1t faces
an uncertain future, however.
The Senate Republican Policy
Committee did not include 1t in a
program Of II major measures on
which 1t agreed Saturday to press
for action before a contemplated
July 81 adjournment.
Program Outlined
Senator Taft, Republican, Of Ohio,
chairman of the policy group, is CO.
sponsor OF the housing bill with
Senators Ellender, Democrat. of
Louisiana, and Wagner, Democrat,
of New York.
The program is designed to en-
courage construction Of 1900, 900 new
homes year for sustained period.
1t contemplates an estimated Fed
eral outlay of $500, ,000, 900 over the
next As years, but the committee
had this to say about the cost:
Most of the programs contained
in the bill should involve little or
no ultimate cost to the Govern
mert. -
Maximum aggregate net Govern
ment outlays of not exceeding $780,
$1,000 a year represent about
half the amount which the Govern
ment spent each day at the peak of
World War II.
Like other expenditures, for
roads. for agriculture, or for social
security, the expenditures under this
bill are on a pay-as-you-go basis,
and will achieve benefits In each
year comparable to the outlays re-
fiected In the Federal budget for
that year."
Critical Shortage Cited.
I'VE are still faced with a critical
housing shortage" the report con-
tinued. "If again the Congress fails
to enact legislation for the basic
solution OF our housing difficulties
the housing situation will be more
critical next year.
The committee is convinced that
it will become increasingly critical
with each succeeding year until the
Congress does enact such necessary
legislation"
A broadened market which the bill
seeks to create for housing would
give stability to the construction in
dustry and might become bulwark
to sustained prosperity, the commit
tee said.

2 Concerts Of Modern Music
Receive Warm Reception

American In character, the suite Is
too good q number to be shelVed.
George Thaddeus Jones, "Sonata"
which was given its world premiere
on this occasion was equally worth
while. Dedicated and composed for
Mr.. Tryon, the composition Is more
up to date then Sowerby's opus, yet
it reflects the solidity Of q classic
foundation. In parts It's has the
the breadth Of Bach, the fluent
grace Of the French school and the
vigorous rhythmic pulse Of Amer
lea. This Is another work which
should have repeated hearings.
The third novelty on the pro-
gram by the American composer
violinist OF Pittsburgh Frank Bros
ky, entitled Dance OF the Der
wishes" showed Mr.. Tryon's exper-
tise as q performer of lighter music.
While more on the order OF effec.
tive salon numbers of the past CEN
|tury, the selection is of the type
that appeals to a violinist and to
the audience alike. Bella Bartok's
tSix Rumanian Folk Dances" "Jac
Gu Bata," aBraul," "Pe Loc," in
which the composer uses the flute
like violin harmonics, "Buciuman-
|easca," colored by a Hungarian ia
vor, Paarga Romaneasca" and
.'Maruntel," rhythmicaliy original,
were other highly successful exposi-
tions of Mr.. Tryon's versatility.
In the years of the violinist,s as
sociation with the Navy Band, he
has grown in artistic stature and
excelled his previous performances
by his manner Of delivery and the
choice OF program. It Is with inter-
est that his future appearances will
be anticipated. Chausson's ''Poeme"
and Saint-Saens' Introduction and
Rondo Capriccioso" closed the re-
cital, which was enthusiastically ap-
plauded,

Scientist Who Made First Rodar Bank
Shot" Oft Moon is Here On Visit

A young radio scientist who has
come to live temporarily with
relatives in Pascagoula was one
of q two-man team which several
months ago established one of the
most notable "firsts" in all the
history of science-the first
measured radio contact between

He is Herbert Kaufman, of
New Orleans, who is visiting at

street. Kaufman. who is married
and has two young children. re-
gently resigned his position as
civilian scientist with the war
departments Signal Corps, where
he had worked during the past
five years.
The radar contact with the
moon was established from the
Evans Signal Laboratories in Bel
mar, N. j.. in an experiment di-
rected by DIR. Harold Webb and
assisted by Kaufman.
This was accomplished by send
ing a powerful radio beam at the
moon, ON which had been focus
ed a very powerful receiving set
developed at the laboratories.
During the first attempts. nothing
was heard in return. but finally
on the morning of January 10.
about IL q. m, when atmospheric
conditions were right, a faint echo
was heard about two and a hal

was beamed toward the moon.

This sound was the echo of the
radio waves which had bounced
back to earth from the cold, life
less surface of the noon. The
waves had travelled the incredi-
BILE distance of $4,000 miles in
two and a half seconds.
Practical Use
Aside from the invaluable data
which these contacts will produce
for continued theoretical expert
ments, Kaufman also sees great
practical use for them within the
near future in the field of tele-
vision.
At present television breakfasts
are limited to the line of sight to
the horizon from the broadcast
ing antenna, since light waves
will not bend. This means that
television can be broadcast only
about 30 or 40 miles, depending
on how high the broadcasting
tower is. But Kaufman believes
it will be possible before long to
make television broadcasting sets
powerful enough to beam the
broadcast at the moon and bounce
the light waves to the entire half
of the planet which is in sight of
the moon at any particular mo-
ment. This effect is similar to
the bank shot we'll known to
pool players, by which it is pos
sible to hit q ball which is direct
