Evening star., 1947-11-24
By Alice Eyersman

Only a few days ago, DR.. Hans
Kinder and the National Symphony
Orchestra were wildly applauded
for the performance Of Shostako-
vitch's symphony No. s." Yester-
day their program was devoted to
the works of Bach, Beethoven and
Brahms. If anything, the applause
was even greater, and certainly more
heartfelt, for here was music the
audience loved and this element did
not enter into the acclaim given the
Shostakovich symphony. That was
mastery playing but yesterdays
concert had as much plus the genu-
inc affinity between the conductor
and the musicians with the famous
Three Bs" and their great compo-
sitions.
There is a great deal to be said
for keeping abreast of the times by
hearing the output of contemporary
composers. But 1t is good to get
back to the loved and familiar and
to let this music pour over one
without need of analytical effort or
puzzlement One might almost say
when a conductor has applied this
concentration, as did DR.. Kinder,
then all the listeners have to do is
sit back and enjoy the performance.
In q season sometimes crowded
with novelties, program such as
yesterdays is an oasis where one
ran raSf ord ha ,-afroShAd
Yet, as familiar as are the Bee
thoven symphony No. 8" and
Brahms Symphony No. l." they
can be new and vital, or unintercst-
ing, depending wholly on the con-
ductor. When DR.. Kinder directs
Beethoven, Brahms or Bach, it
means that the essence, almost the
inner thoughts of the composers,
and certainly their style, will be
exposed with the utmost sympathy.
Many transcribers have arranged
Bach's music for orchestra but few
can give the picture of the rugged
individualist he was as DR.. Kinder
whose arrangement of the Sin
fonia" to "Cantata No. 20" opened
the program. 1t was followed by the
chorale prelude, Nun Komm, der
Heiden Heiland," a serious, nobly
simply work that reverted again to
the broad churchly style after the
lively delivery by the violin section
of the music known to soloists as
the prelude" to the violin "Partita
in E major"
The vigorous tempo that started
off the Beethoven symphony was
indicative of the spirit that was to
dominate the performance even in
the daintier second and third move
ments 1t was q joviality that could
take on a more ingratiating form
in the Allegretto and the Menuetto
but was still of bubbling character.
The undercurrent Of stronger ideas
in the finale was not permitted to
overcast the others but in DR.. Kind
ler's reading, it grew to a natural
expansiveness and eloquence quite
in keeping with what went before
and surely according to the COM
posers intentions.
Brahms symphony was given no
less an imposing presentation. It's
tremendous intensity and relentless
accumulating power, its poetic re-
f1ection and the drama and exalta-
ton with which it ends. were set
forth in clear, revealing fashion.
Not only this number, the peak OF
the program, but the others had
that focusing quality whereby one
waited for the next step, for the
further development, with the same
breathless interest as in reading an

Then, at the final stop, the hiker
is rewarded with a view of the falls
and told they won't be there a
few million years hence, because
the water will have cut away the
rock and formed a new valley.
At this point, too, the student
finds another rustic box, from
which he may take a copy of the
guide supplement. This more de-
tailed treatment of the exhibits is
for use on the return trip.
The elementary course" follows
a pattern for each stop, answering
the three questions. What can I
see?" What is happening?" and
What is the effect?"
At the falls, the viewer is asked
to shout aloud the letter ''E" and
compare the sound with that OF the
falls. The advanced course" deals
further with this experiment.

After completing the tour, the
visitor is asked to record his OBJ

Keep Party Issues Out State 10 Benefit Soon
OF School Board Vote, On Taxes, Lane Tells
Arlington Leader Asks Prince Georges Clubs

Oscar R. lie Beau, chairman of
the Arlington Citizens Committee
for School improvement, today ap-
pealed to voters to keep the School
Board election separate from other
issues on which they will ballot
November 4.
There recently have been some
unfortunate appeals to schoolim-
provement advocates to support Ger
tain partisan candidates for State
and county Offices" Mr.. LIE Beau
said.
I'VE believe it would be unfor-
tunate if party considerations en-
tered into the election of School
Board members. Parents and teach
ers alike ocsire that their school be
freed from politics.
Mr. lie Beau did not elaborate, but
Clyde SJovall, Republican nominee
for commissioner of revenue, recent
iy urged on members of the Citizens
Committee to vote the COP ticket
to be assured of the school improve
ments they want.
The Citizens Committee is one of
the 81 civic groups which sponsored
the School Board nominating con-
vention at which five persons were
nominated to run for Arlington's S
first popularity elected School Board.
Seven other candidates, five Of
whom are indorsed by the Greater
Arlington Association, which op-
poses the nominating convention
program, are in the race.
Meanwhile, Harley NJ Williams,
chairman of the Nonpartisan Better
Government League, issued state
ment which he said was in reply to
those bipartisan candidates urging
the league to support party candi-
dates. The league was member of
the nominating convention.
The Better Government League
is a completely nonpartisan organ
ization and all actions are strictly
within the provisions of the Hatch
Act which does not permit Federal
employees to participate active, IN
partisan, political activities" Mr..
Williams said. The league will
maintain strict neutrality as re-
CARDS all partisan races"
T. Oscar Smith, one of two candi-
dates for County Board Endorsed
by the league, will speak at 11:15
am. tomorrow over WARL regarding

BY imposing additional State
taxes, Maryland has set it's finan.
cial house in order and is about tt
realize great benefits in health, edu'
cation and public roads, Gov. Lane
said last night.
Speaking to the civic clubs o
Prince Georges County, the Gov
ernor said he will soon make "al
important announcement" on roat
building.
II hope, by the end Of the week
a major move will be taken in tn
greatest highway-building program
this State has ever known" he said
He did not elaborate and declined
further comment after the talk.
Maryland's fiscal policy provide!
the "only approach" possible for al
overall reduction in the tax load
he said in the address.
To attain that end, the Governor
declared, each citizen must be per.
mitted to see what he is paying fol
the services demanded, then let his
demands be regulated by his willing
ness to pay for them.
The Governor said this Maryland
principle was indorsed at the recent
conference of Governors in Chicago
which attacked hidden Fedora
taxes.
Every citizen has been made ar
interested stockholder in his Stat
government and in it's operations,
Gov. Lane said. Every one knows
perhaps better than ever before
what the things he has demanded
are costing him. I think it mos
appropriate that he be relieved O
hidden and direct Federal taxes owe,
which he has little or no control, s.
far as their expenditure is con
cerned. and which produce for hin
no direct Or tangible results in hi
every day life.
"The only path to overall tax re-
duction for the American people, fol
the people of Maryland, and yes, fol
the people of Prince Georges County
is to center public attention on tn,
expenditure OF tax dollars by a pol
icy of financial self-suf1iciency IL
Government at the national, Stat
and local levels" the Governor as
serted.
As the principal speaker at a din
ner meeting of the Hayttsville Lions
the College Park Rotarians and tn,
Kiwanis Club of Prince George
County, Gov. Lane explained som,
problems of his administration ant
what is being done about them.
The dinner, served at the Varsity
Grill, College Park, concluded the
joint gathering of the three civic
clubs. Golf and other recreation
comprised the afternoon program
Gov. Lane was introduced by DR.
H. c. Byrd, president of the Uni
versity of Maryland. A women's
chorus from the university sang
several songs. Walter Fehr, execu.
tive director of the Prince Georges
County Boys Council, introduced
boys who won championships ir
recent intra- county athletic compe.
tition.
Marion Parker of Rotary, the host
club, was POSTMASTER. He was as.
sisted by Emmanuel Zalesak of the
Kiwanis, and Joseph Rabbit of the
Lions. Jewell Rickers of Washing
ton, Lions district governor, was
introduced.

LURAY, Va, October ga self
guided" nature study trail has been
added to the attractions of Shen-
andoah National Park.
Park officials expect the new
feature to attract considerable inter-
est among the autumn visitors who
will tour the park in the next few
weeks. They estimate the best show
of the varicolored foliage will accul
the weekend of October 1919.
The White Oak Canyon Natural
Trail represents development of an
existing path by use of seven trail
side exhibits illustrating various pro-
cesses of nature.
Extending slightly more than two
miles, the route begins at the Sky
line drive, opposite the Skyline
Stables entrance between Thornton
and Swift Run Gaps. 1t ends at
the Upper White Oak Falls.
Booklets for Visitors.
The trail is self-guided, in that
the visitor takes a booklet from
rustic box at the start and then
makes his own study of the exhibits
Numbered posts mark the seven
stops along the way. At stop No.
the woodland stroller finds two
holes bored in an old tree trunk.
They are intended for sighting.
Look through hole a." the
booklet directs. "Notice the ex-
posed red roots. Look through
hole b. Notice the gully through
which the soil feeding the roots is
washed away forever.
"Man-made soil erosion is the
lesson here"
AS the tour continues, attention
is invited to a 250-year-old white
oak, a stand of tall hemlocks, a

riced. They are more attractive
this way than served plain.
The way in which the vegetables
are cooked is important. All the
minerals and vitamins should be
retained. The nutrition service o1
the District Red Cross advises that
vegetables should not be drowned
in the saucepan. If they are cooked
in just enough water to prevent
sticking, and until they are tender,
they have a much better color and
flavor.
The average housewife will have
less trouble getting her family to

if the same ones are not served toe

Told by University Physicist

CHICAGO. - Until the Ameri-

cording to a Northwestern univer-

But all they actually produced,
said DR.. S. A. Goudsmit, was a
pile of uranium and paraffin that
went up in flames one day.

he told the Physics club, ''it would
have taken them 100 years to get a
bomb"
DR.. Goudsmit was a member of
a civilian intelligence unit that in
spected Nazi laboratories in 1914.
Germany began working on a
bomb early in 1889, he reported. A
group of physicists met and formed
a secret uranium society Duran YER
ELM.
1.-THE project had the highest pri-
ority among scientific labors in Ger
many, and the total expenditure of
about 10 million dollars was a large
one for Germany but a meager one
compared to ours" DR.. Goudsmit
said.
at was estimated that only 100
scientists, scattered all over Ger

BALTIMORE, MD.-Accustomed
as they are to cries of distress at

ingly when a caller who would not
give his name rang up early in the
morning and reported:
Il felt a tapping on the roof of
the car as l was parking. When
got out and looked up, there was a
man suspended from something
couldn't see. He said Hello l
said Hello Then he flew away
toward the cemetery"
Mr.. and Mrs. William P. Lears-
man checked in next, and Mrs.
Learsman told it this way:
1T was about 400 feet up, although
that might be an eXaggeration. First
we saw a red light and then what
was quite definitely a parachute can
opy with a figure hanging from it.
We couldn't tell whether it was a
man or a woman"
R. r. Lee, night club musician,
reported next:
1T was about 200 feet up. Either
it was coming down or | was going
up. l was a little confused. 1t was
like a funny looking cloud. A light
flashed inside. Some one hollered
Hello or 'Help'-one or the other.
l would have yelled back, but every
one would have thought l was
crazy"
The police, not so sure now, alerted
all prowl cars in the district for
which "it" was last headed. They
sighted nothing. Neither did Inspec-
tor William j. Forrest, who made
an extensive tour.
