Some character named Crow,
who got elected to Congress from
Pennsylvania, has introduced an
amendment to the CT Bill of
Rights. The amendment appar-
entity has the support OF other
jerks on the Veterans committee
of the United States Congress.
1t calls for a big deal-anyone
even suspected of being Com
munist or being sympathetic" to
a progressive organization is to
be denied veterans rights.
Thomas Stokes, the newspaper
columnist, said they omitted one
thing-they should have ordered
that no flowers be permitted to be
on the graves of those dead CTS
who were suspected"
| have an idea that fellow vets
Of mine in Pennsylvania will use
next years elections to tell Con-
gresham Crow to take his amend
ment and himself and blow it
out. :"

 Fiery Reality
tBY Stanley Swinton)

In a Dutch Warplane over Re publican Java, (P)-The threat ened scorched earth policy of the Indonesian Republic is a flaming reality over huge part of south west Java, one of the richest areas of this island.
 Hundreds of fires are cracking across the ridged, green hills be- tween Wijnkoops Bay and Task malaja, more than 12 miles to the east.
 From the glass nose of this BPS photo reconnaissance plane, l have been looking across Republ-i can territory in the cut off tip of west Java during the past four hours. Most of the time, It. Mol van der Veen, pilot from the Hague who was trained during the wart at Jackson, Miss, kept the plane flying lower than 100 feet.
 I have seen at least three rub Der estates ablaze. On others, the grey trunked rubber trees have been cut down and lie in a crazy tangle on the ground.
 Scores of other fires are burn ing in what crew members told me were tea and quinine growing areas.

noteworthy pianistic talent particu-
larly distinctive for the deep musi-
cal feeling that directs it. This is
Of genuinely poetic nature and its
presence illuminated her readings
throughout. The charm Of her play
ing Is Of a communicative character
and seldom has q young artist held
her listeners 50 completely as did
Miss Rivero.
Beethoven's early sonata is con-
ventional In design but Miss Rivero
found much to say in 1t and her SEN
sitive exposition caught its many
interesting elements. Possessing a
suave and delicate touch, especially
sympathetic in the Scarlatti sonatas,
it also was splendidly employed in
the several Chopin numbers. It has
an interpretive color that makes
1t an ideal medium for the change
full rhythms and moods, and the
poetic nature Of Chopin;s music.
Her public career will be watched
with interest.

struments. Mr.. Walker, in his
"Adagio," has written with fine
sweep creating a lovely work that
was enthusiastically applauded, the
composer being present to acknowl-
edge the reception.
Raising the bassoon to q place
of equal prominence with the clari-
net as a solo instrument, Mr.. Phil
lips has written felicitously for it
in his Concert Piece" While the
nature Of its tone puts it at odds
with the violins, it is by blending
with the lower voiced strings that
the composer strikes the happiest
note. Technical difficulties are there
in the wide tonal jumps but Miss
Erler's artistry in handling them re-
culted in a smooth and warmly vi
brant performance. In the union Of
the clarinet and violins, Barlow
has achieved a haunting quality for
the nocturnal mood Of his Lyrical
Piece" The song-like possibilities
Of the solo instrument are employed
in lively melodic passages which
Mr.. Hinshaw played with a finely
spun tone. Both artists made a
deep impression and were warmly
acclaimed.
Mr.. Bales, who originated this
month devoted to the performance
Of works by American composers,
was represented by his very effec-
tive "Music for Strings" and his
arrangement Of five delightful num-
bers by composers Of the Revolu-
tionary period. Other American
composers included in the program,
the listed works Of whom have been
