After the idea was abandoned
confidential reports from Moscow
indicated that it was highly doubtful
that the Soviet dictator would be
available" for any direct approach
unless he knew beforehand on what
basis the conversations would be
conducted. If they were only of a
general nature they would not inter-
est the Politburo, which is Stalin's
principal adviser and, in fact, out
lines the foreign policies of the Red
Empire. But should the President
OF the United States have some
definite, concrete ideas for a rap
prochement, the Kremlin would like
to have clear idea what they were
and would then decide whether such
conversations were desirable.
Policy Has Not Changed.
With this picture in mind, it is
hardly conceivable that Mr.. Truman
will embark on an adventure which
at present shows no chance of sue
cess.
There is nothing to indicate that
the Chief Executive is prepared to
reverse the American-Western Eu-
rope stand on the Berlin crisis. The
policy which was followed in that
sensitive sector-that we would not
yield under pressure and that the
replacement of the Western by the
Russian currency must take place
simultaneously with lifting of the
blockade-has not changed. Neither
are there any signs that Mr.. Tru-

London String Quartet Plays
With Rare Distinction of Style

/ an exquisitely diaphanous tone. The
quality MIR. Pennington draws from
the violin is Of exceptional purity
and unvarying in its correctness of
pitch. The other artists adjust
themselves in volume and in supple
ness to his every imitation. Yet with
all the technical mastery. the fine
understanding and the notable
musicianship of the group, it was
the rare beauty of tone, reaching
its zenith in the soulful Andante,
that is unforgettable.
The Dohnanyi quartet offered
more opportunities for exquisite
lyrical playing. It's melodies are
lovely and more personal than In
the Haydn work, yet they escape
Sentimentality by their mergence
with the more rugged material the
composer has so skillfully used.
There is much originality in this
quartet. The contrasts are strong
as that of the exciting Presto acci-
acato, introduced by rapid meas
ures with a jumping bow from the
cello, and the solemn chorale in
the Adagio. The fiuency of the
writing and the compactness Of the
form supposes program idea fur.
ther carried out by the atmospheric
effects, by the manner in which
each instrument is drawn to the
fore and by its combination of SEN
timent. drama and spirituality.
This was meaty material for an
ensemble such as the Londoners.
Not a variation in subtletry of shad-
ing was overlooked so that the music
swept in changing colors, in anima-
ton and in loftiness to its quiet
end. AS each instrument was
brought into prominence, the indi-
vidual artistry of Mr.. Halleux, MIR,
Bonvalot and Mr.. Evans stood out,
Yet the players subordinate them
selves at all times to the music
itself.
The finesse Of this group is such
that its dramatic speech conforms
in style. That it does not fully ex-
press the vigor Of Beethoven Is of
little import besides the profundity
the polish and the moving spirit
they brought to the reading OF his
Quartet, op. 1872" But more than
the excellence Of mechanics and re-
finement Of tone Is the true art of
chamber music performance with
Its stress on intimate communion
Of artists and audience which the
London String Quartet exemplifies.

definitely deprived himself of a
vast number that he might have
had. He did this by the very
nature of his campaign. He did
it by the nothing less than arro-
CANT assumption that he could have
the highest Office in the land with
out making any commitments. 1t
was all very we'll to say, as he said
in effect at Philadelphia, that he
had obtained the nomination with
out making a commitment to a liv-
ing soul. 1t was something else to
think he could go through a full
campaign without making positive
commitments to the American peo-
pie as whole.
People Saw Through It.
AS his approach to this question
became clear, it was said by his
supporters that he was pitching his
campaign on high plane" But
he never succeeded in pitching it
so high that the people could not
see through it. AS the weeks wore
away and he continued to enact
the role of man above the battle
battle of his own Seeking-the
people did begin to see through the
shining robe in which he had dressed
himself. They began to doubt that
he was necessarily gift from
Heaven to be accepted without ex-
animation.
Abraham Lincoln said it. You
can fool some of the people all Of
the time, all Of the people some
of the time, but you can't fool all
of the people all of the time.
The people wanted answers to
certain specific questions. They
turned to the candidate who was
letting them have the answers and
letting them have them straight.
They turned away from the man
giving them only melodious eva
Sions.
Then there was Gov. Dewey's run
ming mate. He took very naturally
to the Dewey attitude. Long ad-
vertised as the great Governor of
great State, he saw no more rea-
son to prove his own greatness
than that of California. He offered
the people only sunkist smile. The
people wanted more.
OF the other little helpers, it is
impossible to overlook Harold Stas-
sen. When he came out of his Al
bany conference with Gov. Dewey
and made his statement concern
ing the farm price support program,
he did just about all that one single
person could do for Mr.. Truman.
The effect of that blunder could
not be overtaken. Not in Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
congressional districts throughout
the Farm Belt.
Continuing the list of those who
earned Truman medals, we have

yellow gown with black Chantilly
lace appliqued around the top of
the strapless bodice and around the
bottom of the full hooped skirt. A
matching delicate black lace shawl
about her shoulders and a black
lace fan completed her costume.
The Undersecretary Of the Treas

There were two bars at this

up in the large hall, one at the en-

at the entrance to the oval room.

introduced something new. Instead
of the usual scrambled eggs, there
was steaming chicken chow mein

Britain. Presses Plea
For Widening Of U. n.
Truce in Holy Land
by me Asseeiotsd Press

PARIS, Nov. 6.-Britain prepared
today to press her demand that the
United Nations Security Council ex-
tend its stiffened truce regulations
to all Palestine.
The resolution threatening u. N
action against truce violators orig
inally was drawn for the Negeb area
IN Southern Palestine where Israeli
troops last month pushed back Egyp-
tian forces.
Britain'S Sir Alexander Cadogar
insisted after the resolution had
been passed that 1t be extended also
to the Galilee area of Northern Pal
estine from which the Jews claimed
last week they had cleared all Arab
forces. Britain had the backing of
China and Belgium in the debate.
The council voted to postpone de-
bate on Sir Alexander's resolution
until complete information on the
situation in Northern Palestine
reached Paris.
Acting Mediator DR.. Ralph
Bunche conferred last night and to-
day with his chief military observer,
Brig. Gen. william z. Riley, who

may be ready for admission to the
Security Council late today but DIR.
Bunche's staff said they did not ex-
pect a meeting of the Security
Council until Monday.
The resolution passed Thursday
required withdrawal in the Negeb
from positions occupied after Octo-
ber IA, the date fighting broke out
in the Southern desert.
Israel is chiefly affected by the
order, which provides for buffer
zones rather than for automatic re-
turn Of the Egyptians to their lost
positions.
In Tel Aviv, an Israeli foreign
office spokesman said yesterday the
viii not make a decision
on the Security Council request for
of troops in the Negeb
until the regular weekly cabinet
meeting tomorrow.
1t was known authoritatively,
however, that Israel is opposed to
giving up any positions occupied
during the recent fighting in the
Negeb and Northern Palestine.
