'Dupre Still Shows.
Great Musicianship
In Organ Recital
By EIena de Sovn

A short notice containing the news
Of Marcel Dupre's coming here for
a recital was sufhcient to I'LL the
Congregational Church to capacity
last night. Nearly a decade has
gone by since the famous organist
visited the capital, where he has
played q number Of times in the
past and astounded audiences by his
skill.
Although years have taken their
toll they could not eradicate the
foundation Of his superlative musi-
cianship nor Of his technical exper-
tise. If the artists love for his me-
tier has lost some of Its radiance,
If the once colorful sound Of his
music has been somewhat dimmed
by the pressure of time, his master
hand still exerts its power and COM
mandS admiration.
Mr.. Dupre's program consisted Of
Bach's 'Toccata, Adagio and Fugue
in c.; Dupre;s vision, op. A." COM
posed last year on a verse from st.
Johns Gospel: "And the Light Shin
eth IN Darkness; Lszt's variations
on "Weinen. Klagen. Sorgen, IA
gem; Defamarter's Prelude On a
Theme in Gregorian Style" Franck's
"Chorale in B Minor, No. O." Mes
siaen's lie Banquet Celeste" Du-
pres prelude and Fugue in @ Ma
jor. op. SO" and Symphonic I'm
provisations On a Given Theme"
Although the compositions pre-
sented differed vastly In style, the
organist's procedure In matters OF
Interpretation and in the use of
stops, seemed to follow q similar
plan. A soft beginning; q section In
which eerie descants were given
full play; not too powerful use of
deep toned pipes; facile and effec-
tive staccato, especially in intricate
combinations of swift doublestops,
all followed In organized progress
sion throughout the program.
In the symphonic improvisations
on three given themes at the end
of the recital, Mr.. Dupre rose to
towering heights. They served as
the best illustration Of his special
lied training before which two con-
tinents bowed in admiration. The
execution of his assignment left
everybody Spellbound and was no.
table for a live and inspired touch.

Chever|y TO Discuss
Limits Extension at
Hearing "Wednesday

Tentative proposals for the eX-
tension of the Cheverly tMd) cor
porate limits will be discussed at a
town meeting starting at S:15 pm
Wednesday in the Cheverly Ameri-
can Legion Hail.
The .hearings sponsored jointly by
the CheyerIy Citizens Association
and the town council. is for resi-
dents of Cheverly only.
L. N. Woodwork. association
president, said the citizens would be
asked to express their views on the
desirability or undesirability of en-
larging the town to take in any or
all of these areas:
Cheverly Gardens Cheverly Man
or, Villa Heights, the Cheverly The
ater-Ackmans shopping community
an undeveloped section to the west
of town and Tuxedo.
If the citizens approve the idea,
the town council will ask the Mary
land General Assembly to pass
legislation which would permit a
referendum necessary for finally
settling the annexation proposal.
Mr.. Woodwork said he antici-
pated differences between the Chew
erly residents attending the hearing
Wednesday. He said the advantages
of annexation include a chance to
reduce the per capita costs of town
services, the fact that the proposed
boundaries would follow a more
natural topographic line. they would
include the natural shopping area of
the community and the town would
gain control over area development.
Among the objections raised, he
said. is a feeling among some resi-
dents that property values might be
reduced.
The proposal would more than
double the land area of Cheverly.
The own population now is approx
imately 5000.

Special oispoteh TO The stor

FRONT ROYAL, Va, Nov. 81
The first Is Herford bulls to be used
in experiments at the new beef cat
tie breeding station here have begun
arriving from Virginia farms.
Eventually, 800 cattle will be sup
ported at the center which took over
the 4,100-acre site formerly used by
the Army as a remount station.
These will include $50 breeding COWS
of Hereford, Shorthorn and Angus
breeds.
Scientists from the Agriculture

ture Experiment station will con-
duct research at the center, which
is described as the second largest

program at the new station, the
Federal and State scientists plan to:
Search for breeding and selection
methods that will improve beef cat
tie from the standpoint of efficiency,
quality, type and conformation.
Work toward development of beef
cattle that will be able to make
maximum gains in weight on a diet
of grass and limited feed concen-
trates, and thus be highly adapted
TO the Appalachian region.

Heritage Is Vital Factor.
Result at the Virginia station in
dicated that the ability of beef cat

penos largely on a heritage.
This work will be followed up In
the cooperative project here with

make better -than-average gains on
pasture and limited feed concen-
trates.
If this can be done. a major prob
lem of Virginia cattlemen will have
been solved, researchmen say.

tening steers on pasture or grain is
giving way to one in which breeding
herds, stock cattle and slaughter
