A hush fell sharply over the audi
ence as the conductor raised his
baton. The spectators leaned for
ward expectantly. AS the opening
measures of Gluck's "Alceste" over
ture came from the orchestra fas-
cination lit every face.
:. At Armstrong High School last
night this, was the measure OF In
terest typical of the five previous
occasions on which the National
Symphony Orchestra has taken its
music directly to the community in
the Neighborhood Concert series,
sponsored by The Evening Star.
Members of the orchestra have
come to expect it. They unblush-
ingly admit they revel in it.
Said Concertmaster Jan Tomasow
at the close of the sixth Neighbor-
hod Concert last night: These
audiences leave little for a musician
to desire. Here is enthusiasm real
and strong. It's more than a pleas
ure to come before a public so heart
felt in its musical interest"
Stimulating Response.
And Assistant Conductor Howard
Mitchell, who led last nights pro-
gram: Response like this is aston
ishing, stimulating, and I can't get
over it. We all feel that way"
This. audience, over which the
musicians were babbling delightedly
at the sixth performance, repre-
sented the customary community In
cross section.
There was gray-haired Mrs. Will
liam Pickens of 400 T street NV.
Mrs. Pickens habitually attends the
sinfonietta concerts at the National
Gallery Of Art. '
"But this is something new and
grand-a full symphony out in our
own neighborhoods. It's a real
blessing" she asserted.
A 14-year-old boy and his father
were present. Were either musi-
clans? Had they some special rea-
son for being in the audience?
Were both just crazy about
music" said the father, Theopholus
Houston, of 2917 Thirteenth street
NV. 1--WE can't get enough of it
on our phonograph records. Besides
you've got to see a symphony
orchestra to enjoy it most"

eign ministers Wednesday,: Il
wish it to be clearly understood
that the United States is not
prepared to agree to any pro-
gram of reparations from cur
rent production as price for
unification of Germany" The
Soviet Union has demanded $10,-
000,0O0,000 in reparations over a
20-year term).
Tass said that in asking for
Soviet reparation figures on East
ern Germany, Gen. Marshall was
obviously continuing his dema-
gogical game" Remarks by Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Bevin on
this matter were described as
fantastic inventions"
Tass said Gen. Marshall had
failed to give proof that no
property had been acquired in
the. American zone of Germany
by individuals or the American
Government. 1t added that the
Western delegations refuse to
state their point of view on the
issue of the Ruhr.
Tass said the attitude of the
French delegation deserved no
special attention, since it was
evident the French were afraid
of arousing American anger.

reaping profits in the sale Of coal
and timber from Germany.
While the meeting has been dead
locked on the subject of prepara-
tions it has become apparent that
the fundamental difference that has
pushed the conference on the rocks
is the struggle between the United
States and Western Europe with
the Marshall Plan on one side, and
Eastern Europe with the Soviet
Union and Soviet Plan" on the
other.
The uhyielding position on funda-
mentals has made it clear both the
United States and Russia are de-
termined to fight their plans through
to finish.
Mr. Molotov's demand for obtain
ing German reparations by increas-
ing German industry reveals that
the Soviet Union will push the pro-
duction in the Eastern zone of Ger
many to the utmost, coupled with
political offensive in Germany.
During the conference, Mr.. Molo-
tov has constantly pounded the
theme that the Soviet Union is
Germany's only friend. This line
has been carried through relent-
lessly although Mr.. Molotov must
know it is costing the Communist
Party support in such countries as
France
1t seems likely, therefore, that
Russia's all powerful Politbureau
had decided that Germany is the
main objective and necessity to
Soviet planning and is going to
make its main effort there at the
expense of its influence in other
countries.
At the same time announcement
OF the signing of the Czech-Soviet
trade pact has emphasized another
weapon in Russia's hands-the tying
of Eastern Europe to Soviet econ
omy through trade pacts.
A Moscow Associated Press dis
patch described this as Soviet "eco-
nomic planning in the field Of for
eign trade"
While Congress debates the
Marshall plan the West has not
been idle. Dispatches from Frank
furt said German officials already
have drafted plan for the gov
ernmental structure of Western
Germany.
Discussions on this are expected
to follow Immediately on any break
down here in London although top
Western officials deny any definite
steps have been taken as yet.

u. S. Is Set on Division
OF Germany, Toss Says

MOSCOW, Dec. 13 (P.-A Tass
dispatch, from London said today
sessions of the foreign ministers
have shown that the Americans had
decided beforehand to divide Ger
many.
The official Soviet news agency
informed Russian newspaper read
ers:
Prom the very beginning Of the
London session it was apparent that
the American delegation had de-
cided beforehand on separating
Western Germany from Germany
with the aid of the British and
French delegations. They counted
on using the reparations question
for the demagogical game"
The dispatch said this became
evident Wednesday when Gen.
Marshall with no direct connec-
ton with the question being de-
bated at the time suddenly de-
manded that the U. S. S. r. deviate
on reparations from Western Ger

end the meeting.
A Soviet source said after FRIDAYS
meeting that it would be up to Gen.
Marshall to end the meeting as
the Soviets would not take that
step.
While the American delegation
saw no hope of reaching agreement,
there were two schools of thought
on ending the session.
One group felt Gen. Marshall
should move to adjourn the meet
ing at once In order to halt Mr..
Molotov's use of the conference
for propaganda appeals to the Ger
man people. Another group largely
career diplomats, urged that the

chance for q settlement.
At this mornings meeting of the
American delegation it was reported
Gen. Marshall had not committed
himself to either group. 1t was
expected that his action would be
conditioned by Mr.. Molotov's at
titude.
If Mr.. Molotov resumed his
TRADES against the West, Gen. Mar
shall was expected to make a
strong statement and suggest ad-
journing the session. If it was
milder, the American delegation
probably would seek to speed the
session through the agenda and try
to end it later in the week.

Speaking of Music
and Plays
By Betty Lou Allen

Having been privileged to
review Anna Lucasta the Broad
way smash hit last Saturday
and being so impressed by the
performance we feel as though
our enthusiasm should be
shared by our readers.
Isabelle Cooley, the star Of
the play, gave an impressive
Interpretation to the part made
famous by Hilda Simms. Miss
Cooley, If she is to be judged
by her ability as shown in this
show, bids fair to become a
recognized star on the theatre
cal horizon. We shall follow
her career with much interest.
Miss Cooley's acting ability is
exceeded only by her gracious
ness as shown while being in
terviewed and photographed
BY Art Warmsley.
Another pleasant surprise
was the part of Anna Lucasta s
brother-in-law portrayed in ex-
cellent manner by one John
Proctor, who incidentally halls
from my home town, (Youngs-
town, Ohio), and whom I had
not seen in sometime.
