his admission. Edmonds' son,
John, said this morning the ply
sicians had told him his father
had a possible fractured skull
but had not taken X-rays to de-

truck was near Bounds crosse

for a side road, shifted gears

stopped and returned to pick up
the injured man to rush him to

Emo Balogh Gives
Distinctive Recital
At Howard u.
By EIena de Soyn

The Howard University School Of
Music opened its 194s-4s series Of
concerts with . piano recital byl
Emo Balogh last night. This Is not
the pianist's first visit to this city.
He played at the White House dur
ing President Roosevelt's admins
tration and appeared several times
as collaboration Of Lotte Lehman at
Mrs. Lawrence Townsends musi-
Gales. All the qualities which made
him sought after by several famed
singers in the past were prevalent
last night.
The artists sensitive appreciation
Of the melodic line and Of leading
voices, the clarity Of his analyses,
the continuity Of thought through
out a composition performed, the
manner in which he nodded each
phrase in its relation to the whole.
and his employment of q different
touch to stress the difference in the
styles Of the composers presented,
made his playing distinctive.
Bach's Fifteen Two-Part Inven-
tons" on the program was Of spe-
cial interest to the student as they
are not often, If ever, performed
in public by artists. Mr.. Balogh's
recordings Of these three years agol
were judged with 10 others as being
the best productions OF the year
1945. Intended by the composer toI
prepare a performer for his larger
forms, these inventions show Bach's
ever present ingenuity in the Sc
lection Of material. Although one
could appreciate Mr.. Baiogh's mu-
steamship in these, one could evalu-
ate his talent and achievement best
beginning with Beethoven's Sonata
op. 78, in F sharp Major" where
tone and sentiment prevailed.
There was a marked departure In
his treatment of Brahms boisterous
and effective "Scherzo, op. 4, in El
fiat minor" and Of the Chopin
group in which he further differ-
entiated between the styles Of each
number. The loveliness of the 'Noc-
turne, op. 13, No. / In r Major" was
brought out by the expressive quail
ity Of his touch, the execution Of the
"Tarantelle, op. 43, in A nat
Major" gained immensely by his
understanding of It's fiery character.
while the "Scherzo, op. 50, In C.
sharp minor" was notable for the
individuality Of treatment.
Bartok's "Dirge," his impetuous
'Romanian Dance, op. 8, No. /" and
Allegro Barbara" together with Mr..
Balogh's own "Pastorale at Dawn"
and Joyous Grasshopper," consti-
tuted novelties on the program, the
last two being heard here for the
first time. While the '.Pastorale at
Dawn" suggested the rarified air az
the early morning hours, the Joy
GUS Grasshopper" seemed somewhat
a misnomer, as the music was any
thing but dainty and agile. Instead
OF his "Danse Infernale" the pianist
composer played an arrangement
OF waltzes from Johann Strauss
Die Fledermaus." His playinp
brought him an ovation from the
enthusiastic audience,
