to give him back his rightful
name. Christened Owen Patrick
McNulty, he adopted Dennis Day

it legalized when he went into

mime. Novaes Holds Audience
Enthralled in Piano Recital
by Alice Eversmon

1t was a pleasure to welcome back
Guiomar Novaes, Brizilian pianist,
last night in the Shoreham Hotel,
where she gave a recital under the
auspices of the Chamber Music
Guild. It is more than three years
since Nine. Novaes appeared here
but her art is so well remembered
that a packed house was waiting to
acclaim her. She is an artist who
lives pianistically on higher plane
than most and can discourse on the
piano with extraordinary commune
cative power. Her individuality Is
so marked that 1T is an experience
to follow the finely thought
technical details but still greater
experience to come under the spell
OF her interpretive skill.
The spogee was reached in Bee
thoven's Sonata in d Minor, OPP. 81,
No. e." and in the Chopin Sonata

in B Flat Minor" It was playing OF
q measured pace that gave time for
every idea to sink in, and kept the
mood vibrating through every pause.
Thus the opening notes of the Bee
thoven novered over the dramatic
development of the first movement,
as did the implacable ring Of the
Funeral March" in the Chopin.
1t gave haunting beauty to Chopin's
"Impromptu in F Sharp Major, op.
&c." and exquisite tenderness to the
tranquil second movement of Bach's
"Toccata irf D Major"
Nine. Novaes brings an idea1istic,
poetic quality to her playing that
can nevertheless resolve into drama
tic intensity. But 1t Is its speaking
power that is unusual, and the SEN
sitivity Of the artist in finding tonal
hues and phrasing to express a rare
insight and feeling. 1t was not only

An old familiar book was miss

tiers last night. Sad eyed police
officers told reporters that the
"Blotter Book had been aban-

which has been used since the
turn Of the century has been shelv-
ed.
Officers said the new system
went into effect yesterday after
noon and they were busy making
out the various and sundry reports
Of the new system.
Reporters walking into Police
headquarters missed the familiar
book and thinking that it, too, was
being barred from them, asked
where it was. Officers on duty
explained the new set-up and told
reporters that in place of the blot
ter book, where all arrests have
been recorded, is to be replaced
with a daily summary sheet.
According to the officers the
summary sheet will be made out
on each shift, listing all arrests,
investigations and complaints. Sew
en- copies are to be. made and dis
tributed 70 the Police Chief, bulle-
tin board, detective division, rec
ord division, traffic division, per-
manent file and platoon file. Each
officer will be required to read the
daily sheet and familiarize him
self with the reports.
The officers admitted they will
miss the old blotter book. 1.-The
counter just don't look the same
with that big book gone," one Of
ficer said. Another coming on duty
inquired Where is the book?"
Heretofore. the officers were re-
qulred to make out a report on in
vestigations and it was filed at
headquarters. Under the new set
up the arresting or Investigating
officer comes to headquarters and
verbally gives his report, which is
taken down by the desk officer and
recorded on the daily summary
sheet.

The President thus appears to

it the full cooperation of all gov.

their final recommendations:
Must go beyond the limits of
any one phase of aviation. They

new ones, and will serve as a
guide for formulating a carefully

ENGINEERS STRIKE
SET FOR MONDAY
Union Says There Is No
Change In Position; Walk
out Set For 10 P. M.

SAN FANC1SCO, July l8.-W.H-
Southern Pacific engineers will
strike Monday at 10 pm. (EDT)
despite President Humans ap-
pointment of an emergency board
to investigate the dispute, a high
union official said today.
The statement was made by P.
o. Peterson, general chairman of
the Southern Pacific unit of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, shortly after Mr.. Truman
announced in Washington the es-
Establishment Of a panel to study
the dispute.
"There is no change in our po-
sition. Only the acceptance by
the company of u 10 demands
for working condition changes will
call off the walkout," Peterson
said.
Under usual railroad mediation
procedure. the appointment by the
President of a fact-finding board
delays any strike call for so days.
Peterson said, however, that the
issues in the controversy had al
ready been studied by such a panel
appointed by the late President
Roosevelt in 1945, and recommen-
dations made.
Both the company and union,
he said, agreed to accept part OF
the recommendations, but refused
to agree in toto. Consequently
none of the measures were in ef-
feet at present.
's1he national railway law pro-
vides that if neither party has
accepted recommendations after
60 days, the power Of the board
dies" Peterson said. consequent
ly this strike is entirely within
the law
"What did they appoint a panel
for anyway? To investigate the
Roosevelt board?" he asked.
Peterson's declaration of the
unions position supported the
statement made earlier by Har-
irson c. Hobard, assistant grand
chief of the brotherhood. Hobart
said it was his opinion that the
provisions of the fact had been
completely fulfilled
The strike call affects all South
ern Pacific operations, including
the two subsidiary lines, the North
western Pacific and the Arizona
and Eastern, west from Ogden,
Utah, and Ell Paso, Tex. to San
Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco
and North to Portland, Ore.
A total of $500 engineers will
walk out, idling approximately
90, 900 of the lines total 10000 en-
ployes along a good part of the
$50, 600 miles of track on the vests
biggest railroad.
The White House said mat the
President would name the mem
bers OF the board within the next
few days.
A spokesman at Southern Pacific
pledged the railroad would Ego
along with the Presidents new
board in an effort to prevent the
strike.
1--WE will cooperate in every
way possible" he said.
Placing full responsibility on the
brotherhood, Railroad President A.
T. MERCER claimed the road has
accepted the 1945 boards recon-
mendations in full and charged the
union rejected all of the findings.
"Thls tSouthern Pacific's) &C.
ceptance is in writing and is a
matter of official record" he said.
