To the Editor:

Recently the comments 1
have heard in the shop and on
the street have concerned Hen
ry Wallace. Some of the re-
marks are far from compli-
mentary; others do justice to
a man who has courage TO defy
the enemies of working people.
Due to the fact that the in
terests of Wall Street control
all major channels Of COM
munication and education, the
common people of America will

To the Editor:

While you are criticizing
the metropolitan newspapers
of Chicago for mot being OBJ

printers strike, may I suggest
that it might be a good idea
for you to heed your own adj
vice
In your issue of Jan. II you
made the statement:
Contrary to their custom
of many years, none of the met
ropolitan newspapers published
their average circulation for
December, but reports indi-
Gated that circulation and adj

For your information, the
Chicago Daily News did pub
1ish it's circulation figures and
they appear as usual under our

Reader Knight is correct.
The Star failed TO check with
sufficient care a union report

dailies twas) so sharply cur
tailed that publishers began
withholding figures which for
years have been available to

The Daily News is the only
newspaper which has printed
IFS circulation figures for De-
cember. The Sun. Times. and
Tribune have resorted to the
dodge of publishing their aver
age circulation for the entire
year. The Herald American
has chosen TO ignore the circu-
lation question completely.
If the Daily News is willirG

why aren't the other newspa-

In the cheerful, early Schubert
symphony there Is a wealth of mel

Schubert could compose. When in

last night, its gemlike quality Is as
arresting as the sober output Of his
later years. Haydn's Letter v"
symphony, as the number 88 is
sometimes designated, is as fine a
companion to the Schubert as could
be found for its grace and gayety, If
more worldly, Is full OF the same
exuberance and charm. Mr.. Bales
gave careful thought to the delicate
texture Of each work, and the or

The Mozart Concerto No. 20 In

Not since the novelty Of the orig
inal Don Cossack Chorus and its
type of singing wore of has the
group presented such a notable con-
cert as that given in Constitution
Hall yesterday afternoon. There
have been times during its yearly
visits here that the routine standard
was all that was maintained, but for
this appearance Serge Jaroff. the
alert and vigorous conductor,
brought greater finish to all that
was done. The fascination this
group of singers exercizes has not
diminished with the years to Judge
by the size and enthusiasm of the
audience. There were present many
Of the Russians to whom these pro-
grams bring breath Of the old days
when choirs such as this were part
of all religious services.
There seems to be more equability
between the voices this season than
for some time. The deep, resonant
basses are the most prominent, as
always, and the most impressive, but
the sharp line that divided them
from the higher voices has been
eliminated. Mr.. Jaroff has found
also better way to use the falsetto
which he adopted some years ago
for his tenors. It is now employed
with more discretion and the effect
attained is logical. This season his
tenors are more numerous and OF
better quality and can sing legiti-
mately into the higher registers.
While formerly Mr.. Jarod spe-
cialized In the extremes OF piano
and forte, his directing yesterday
had greater dynamic range and

For Constitution Hall Concert

even the tremendous volumn these
singers can achieve was used spar
ingly. The most outstanding num-
Der on the program, and one that
displayed to the fullest the artistry
of the leader and his group, was
the selection from the traditional
Requiem" in Shvedoff's arrange
ment. It began with q breath Of
sound in which the harmonic pat
tern came through clearly never
theless. and rose and fell in vocal
quantity with remarkable effect. The
full, blended tone this sornbrely
beautiful work was impressive.
AS is customary, the program be-
gan with liturgicaI music including
a "Cantata OF Russian Church Mu-
sic" by Kastalsky, q summary Of the
styles used from the earliest times
In music such as this, the group has
no equal for Mr.. Jarons sense Of
polyphony is keen and the singers
adept in bringing 1t out. The tone
of the whole program was more
serious and there was less OF the
humorous songs with imitation OF
instrumental accompaniment, or
whistles and peculiar cries, as
formerly.
The coronation chorus and death
scene from Moussorgsky's Boris
Godunoff," combined with the final
chorus of Glinka's Life for the
Tzar," was another of the outstand-
ing numbers in which the vocal
coloring and dynamic shadings
were of a high artistic order. Folk
songs of more melodic character,
traditional Drinking Songs" In
Jaroff's arrangement, and the don
Cossack Battle Song" were also on
the list.
A departure was made from the
national music with the inclusion OF
an arrangement by shvedoh OF
America, the Beautiful" and the
strains of Yankee Doodle" that
ended Strimer,s "Reminiscences.
The singing Of America, the. Beauti-
full" in English was moving, for the
arrangement expanded the melody
sung very softly and clearly by the
tenors.
The Don Cossacks brought three
dancers with them, and, as always,
they aroused excited applause. Ex-
tremely. graceful and expert in the
difficult, intricate steps with bended
knee and the high jumps, they had
the audience cheering. It is pity
that these artists, as well as the
excellent soloists heard during the
program, were nameless. But 1t is
the chorus, as a body, and its
dynamic conductor who merit the
acclaim which was so enthusiastic
yesterday as to warrant encores.
The splendid group Of musicians
that form the National Gallery Or
chestra were heard in q program
last night in the National Gallery of
Art, with Emerson Meyers, pianist,
as soloist. In the two symphonies
played, Schubert's Symphony No.
S" and Haydn's Symphony No. 49,
Richard Bales, the conductor, gave
one of those rare performances that
provide thorough musical enjoy
ment. The size of the group permits
of hearings of symphonic works for
small orchestra in way that

with which he stated the appealing
measures of the first movement and
the opening and closing portions Of
the Romanza was q mastery indi-
cation Of his skill in using the
expressive qualities Of the piano for
descriptive ends. The same flowing
persuasiveness invested the tech
nical demands Of the cadenzas and
