Pacific Northwest, and his schedule
was changed yesterday to permit an
inspection of the area swept by the
floods.
Despite the Democrats sour pros
poets, the President was in the best
of humor as he boarded his train
just before departure, gayly telling
reporters that IF I felt any better
I couldn't stand it,
Secretary of State Marshal, Sec
retary of Defense Forrestal, Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Brannan and
Attorney General Clark were on
hand to bid him farewell.
Changes in Schedule.
Mr.. Truman's last-minute decision
to visit the flood area in Oregon
caused a slight shift in plans for the
tour through the Northwest next
week. The scheduled trip to the
atomic energy plant at Hanford
Wash, was Cancelled. Instead, or
Wednesday, he will leave his train
at Spokane and drive to Grand
Coulee. He will have quarters ir
Olympia until Friday morning, mo-
toring to Seattle for his speaking
engagement Thursday.
On Friday he will make planned

would be for two years, but a limited

Both the draftees and the 18-year-
olds who volunteer for one year will

joins his World War I buddies at
the 35th Division reunion, and Los

President reaches the lend of the

been some thought that he might
discuss national defense at Omaha.
The return itinerary has not been
mapped out, but the President ex-

The Presidents reception by
Democratic leaders in Chicago was
an item of speculation, since Col
Jacob Arvey, Cook County Demo-

Prior to tonight's speech, Mr.

The time may come when the
law makes people from 6 to so do
school work, a group of teachers
said recently.
Their reason: A good education

war.
The prediction came from a 10
man commission which looked
over the public school system for
the American Association Of
School Administrators.
The commission said grownups

around the opening hour Of the
National Gallery Of Art concert last
night, the fifth American Music Fes-
tival closed with a program played
| to the usual large audience. 1t
was given by the National Gallery
Orchestra and the general char
acter OF the works selected by Rich
ard Bales, the conductor, was
thoroughly American in style and
idea. Two numbers, Cecil Effinger's
Little Symphony, op. 81" and Doug
las Moore's Farm Journal" were
heard here for the first time while
Ray Green's New Set t-Concertante'
for viola and orchestra, with George
Wargo. violist, as soloist was given
its world premiere.
The folk-tune flavor of MIR.
Green's composition has many re-
freshing effects in his clever treat
ment. It is smoothly fashioned
from the slightly jazzy beginning Of
the Allegro fugato to the brilliant
candenza for the viola that closes
the third movement, Presto jig. The
solo instrument is closely interviewer
into the fabric OF the orchestra and
often overshadowed by the en-
semble's volume Of tone but when
given q chance, as in the Andante
pastoral, its expressive powers are
fully utilized. Something Of a
spiritual in style and theme, the
Andante draws out the rich song
full qualities of the instrument.
Mr.. Wargo's beautiful tone tri-
umphed here and his mastery tech
nique in the Presto. Mr.. Green
was present to hear the premiere
and warmly welcomed by the audi
ence.
Mr.. Effinger's Little Symphony"
has an original slant and the COM
poser has avoided the obvious with
out any appearance of doing so. 1t
is cleverly and sincerely written with
short lively movements setting Oh
the more expansive opening Mod
erato and the Andante. He has not
attempted a pictorization of some
form of American life as has Mr..
Moore in his Farm Journal" The
titles OF the movements, up Early,
Sunday Clothes" "Lamplight" and
Harvest Hymn" are self explanatory
and Mr.. Moore has put his we'll
known appreciation Of things pecu-
liar to this country, 50 often the
subject Of his other successful COM
positions, to the same descriptive
ends. It has color sentiment and
charm, combined with the expert
ness of a fine craftsman.
Katharine Hansel. soprano. and
Shirley Winston, mezzo soprano,
were the soloists in Mary Howe's
"Poema," an instrumental work
chiefly with the voices highlghting
certain points. The text, also
written by Mrs. Howe, is not in the
nature Of a poem but rather eXcla-
nations fitting to the moods OF the
music at the moment of their utter
ance. The music itself has a soar
ing and rhapsodical quality that
seems to undulate toward the cli-
makes formed by the entrance OF
the voices. These are sometimes in
close harmony and again tax the
height and depth of the singers
range. Mrs. Hansel's lovely voice
embellishes all that she sings and

power, and richness Of tone, proved
