|C0npress Warned
To Auoid Wrangles
and DELAY on ERP

The European Recovery Program
was called the most important mat
ter before Congress in statement
issued today by the Women's Action
Committee for Lasting Peace which
warned that the country cannot
afford to submit it to the pitfalls
and delays of election-year wran-
Cling"
The statement. which was made
through the national president,
Mrs. Norman der. Whitehouse,
called on committee members in
the States to urge prompt con-
gressional action on the proposal.
1t also advocated the return OF
rationing. If necessary, to meet the
needs both at, home and abroad,
and said it favored price control
of key commodities to prevent fur
ther imitation and to insure equitable
distribution of scarce materials.
"The resources of the United
States are not unlimited, but with
wise and effective use of our pro-
ductive capacity, this country can
play its part in meeting the world
crisis" the group maintained.
The statement was drawn up fol-
lowing meeting of the committee.
with its consultants. The latter
are Vera w. Beggs. Vera Micheles
Dean, Mrs. Burnett Mahon, Anne
O'Hare Mccormick, Mabel New
conner, Mildred B. Northrop. Mrs.
Ogden Reid, Ruth Bryan Rohde,
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dorothy
Thompson and Sara Wambaugh.
The committee expressed the
opinion that the administrative ma
chinery for ERP should be as simple
as possible. Flexible administra-
ton is important. particularly in
view of the fact that the situation
in Europe will not remain static"
1t said.
The organization also reiterated
its position that appropriations
must be sufficiently large" to achieve
the purpose. Half measures or
even 80 per cent measures will not
suffice" 1t said.

New Composition
Us Given in Recital
By Helen McGraW
By Elena de Soyn

Homer Keller's "Sonatina No. 2,"l
composed year ago, was given its
first public hearing by Helen Nc
Graw In her annual piano recital
last night in the National Gallery
Of Art. Not more than a week ago
another work by this composer,
"Serenade for clarinet and strings, u
was presented under the same aus
pices, played by Rex Hinshaw with
Richard Bales at the head Of the
National Gallery Orchestra.
The music Of this young Cali
fornian, winner Of the Henry Had
ley Foundation Award, bears always
the stamp Of sincerity and is nota-
BILE for its expressiveness. The
sonatina, played last night by Miss
McGraw, Is never overburdened by
harmonic innovation and its care
free character finds its best ex-
preston in the last movement. Not
unlike a perpetual motion in form,
it calls for the type of playing in
which Miss McGraw Is at her best.
The ightness and resiliency Of her
touch, In fluent passages handled
with impeccable clarity was
matched only by the unaffected
simplicity Of her performance of
the "Lento", the middle movement
Of the work.
Cypress Swamp" from Sowerby's
Florida Suite" another American
composition on the program, has
dramatic intensity which at one
point gives a sensation of impend-
ing tragedy. The Russian group,
consisting Of Scriabin's Poem op.
80, No. l." somewhat over-senti-
mentalized, the humoristic Polka
from Shostakovich's Golden Age"
and Prokofieff's Sonata No. g." al
though technically perfect, lacked
national and individual character
istics. The sonata was deficient in
brilliancy, ideas, and sorority. On
the other hand, the pianist's per-
formance Of Bach's prelude In E
fiat minor" and Chopin's Fantasy
in F minor, op. 40" was distin-
guished by thoughtful care given
to detail and phrasing. In fact,
Bach's number was unusually beau
tiful and expressive.
Bernard L. Mason Gives Recital
The recital Of Bernard Lee Mason,
assistant professor Of orchestral in
strrlments at the Howard Univer-
sity, In the Phillips Gallery yester-
day afternoon, disclosed a talented
volinist whose tone is notable for
its sensitiveness and refinement. In
q program which called for an ac-
complished technician as well, Mr..
Mason had q superb collaboration In
Warner Lawson, dean Of the music
school Of the university. who. pro-
vided an artistic background to Co.
relli's Sonata" Chausson's "Poeme"
and Brahms Concerto in d
major"
The violinist's attainment could
be already fully appreciated in Co
relli's number. This forgotten work
in which purity and beauty Of tone
Is put to a test in several fugato
sections where rapid detached bow
ings and a succession of chords call
for agility and style were met with
skill and precision. Although one
could have wished for greater
volume and power, especially on the
"G" string in Chausson and
Brahms, the artists readings were
never wanting in loftiness and ap-
probation Of beauty. A few slips
here and there were minor blem-
ishes considering the demands
which these works place upon the
executant. Mr.. Mason's success was
pronounced. He was enthusiastically
applauded after each number.
