By Alice EveHmon

In compliment, possibly. to Zinc
Francescatti, French violinist ano
soloist with the Philadelphia Or
chestra last night, Eugene Ormandy
conductor, made the program a
French one. That is. with the ex-
ception of Virgil Thomsor's Sym
phony on Hymn Tune" But
that fitted in. for it was written
during the composers sojourn in
Paris where his composing style was
we'll grounded under the guidance
Of Nadia Boulanger. The concert
had sophisticated flavor thor
oughly enjoyed by the Philadel-
phians' customary audience in Con-
stitution Hall.
The first hearing here of Thom-
sons Symphony on Hymn Tune"
was an introduction on major
scale to the composers style. It Is
a contradictory work, at a cursory
glance, for there is much to arrest
| the attention and much to question.
His deliberate inharmonic develop
ment of the tune in the first move
ment is one of the latter, although
its distribution between many differ
ent voiced instruments is effective.
It might be conceived that the hymn
tune, descriptive Of one kind Of Hv-
ing, was surrounded by one quite
at variance and here might be
found picture of life in general.
It is in the Allegretto and ALA
breve, the two last movements, that
is found the most genuine note.
Facilely and even brilliantly writ
ten, they have a sturdy strength
and compactness. Without at
tempting cleverness or utilizing too
much a desire for originality, they
are a serious and worthy example
of a keen musical mind that has
something individual to say. The
very expert playing OF the orches-
ira and the clarity of Ormandy's
analysis of the symphony were in
themselves impressive and the audi
ence's generous applause was as
much in recognition OF this as OF
the value of the work.
For easier general appraisal was
Francescatti's superb performance
of Saint-Saens' Concerto No. 3 in
B minor" The violinist played 1t
brilliantly, with all the great vibrant
tone and virile temperament which
is distinctive of his style. There is
an inexhaustible, joyous quality
about his tone that makes Won
derful vehicle for his robust inter-
pretive approach and communicates
excitement. He Is sensitive also to
musical poesy, as he has demon.
strated often, yet last night he did
not take advantage of opportunities
for expressing it. AS splendid as
was his playing in the complete
control of all the difficulties OF vlo-
linistic technique, sameness
throughout negated the inherent
differences of the three movements.
He took the opening Allegro at
a swift pace that set its passionate
utterance in a thrilling form. But
where the Andantino gave occasion
for more tranquil treatment, he was
not in a mood for introspection
and. though sung with richly reso-
nsnt tone, its nuances failed to be
of great import. The final move
ment drew again on his superb
virtuosity and the ending was so
spirited as to evoke long and loud
applause. Mr.. Ormandy's accompa-
niment, on the contrary, held a
wealth of sl1adings and never over
/ l,>ou,orod the so10ist
The transition from Saint-Saens'

manner but in between, and in the
overwhelming climax, are the dis
tortions that tear apart rhythm and
melody with violence. In such
psychological musical studies as
this, Mr.. Ormandy is q master of
Interpretation, knowing the colora-
ton of the instrumental sections for
a play Of effect and how to puild
up the dramatic picture to a tre-
mendous finale. Ingratiating and
disturbing as this music is, its sweep
and power are incontestable.

Air Power Is Answer
To Red War Threat,
Rickenbacker Says

Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker told
Washington audience last night that
Americas only answer to "the time
bomb of war-threat that ticks away
in the Kremlin" is enough air power
to strike back Immediately at mill
tary forces, which are stronger than
any We can muster now or in the
near future.
This "time-bomb.' Capt. Ricken-
backer declared, "is devised and con-
troled by a group of men who have
neither principle nor honor and who
exploit weakness, but shrink away
from strength"
Calling upon Americans to face
some unpleasant facts" the World
War I hero expressed the conviction
that we can avoid another conflict
only through absolute and complete
air, sea and land strength"

II have absolutely no faith in any
argument that we need not fear
war with Russia until 1852, 1855. or
1880" Capt. Rickenbacker declared.
Russia, he said, being stronger than
we are at this moment, or in the
near future, may decide to attack
rather than wait until we gather
strength-this despite our monopoly
of the atomic bomb.
Let us face the fact that, once
Moscow gets the as>.nic bomb, Rus

70 Rezoning Petitions
Studied by Council in
Montgomery County

Twenty rezoning petitions, one O
which contemplates erection o.
1000 semidetached homes at a cost
of about s30.000,000 on 576 acres
along Viers Mill road nearly two
miles west of Wheaton, were be-
ing studied today by the Mont
gomery County Council.
Arguments on the applications
were heard by the Council yester-
day in the Silver Spring Liquor Dis
pensary Building. All were taken
under advisement.
Plans for the $4,000 900 housing
project were outlined by A. S. Kay
county builder, who asked that the
tract be rezoned from residential
A to B.
Mr.. Kay said the two-story, two
bedroom brick homes would sell for
about $500 each and could be
purchased on $50 monthly pay
ments, including taxes. They would
be between Wheaton and Viers Mill
Village.
He added he would give the coun-
ty a 15-acre school site If his petit
ton is approved.
Opposition to the request was
voiced by the Montgomery County
League of Women Voters, the County
Civic Federation, Stephen S. Cas-
sola, representing the Kensington
View-College View Civic Association,
and o. P. Jacoby, owner of near
by home.
They contended the proposal does
not conform to the general building
pattern in the suburban area, most
of which is developed with single
family, detached homes.

Action Delayed
On Amendments
1ozoning Code
Appeals Court Ruling
On Legality of Council
Election Awaited

Failure of four MONTGOMERY
County attorneys to agree on the
Legislative powers of the countys
interim council has led to postpone
ment of action on proposed amend
ments to the zoning ordinance.
After an hour-long legal wrangle,
the council yesterday agreed to de-
fer action on the proposals until
the Maryland Court of Appeals rules
on the legality of a scheduled Janu-
ary 6 council election.
The decision was made on the
advice of F. Barnard Welsh, attor-
ney to the council, four of whose
members are seeking to block the
election and remain in Office until
their terms expire in 1850. The
councilmen have appealed a circuit
court decision which held the jan
uary election would be legal. Argu-
ments at Annapolis will be heard
tomorrow and the final ruling is
expected this week.

terday's argument, besides MIR.
Welsh, were James c. Christopher,

Says Authority Is Lacking.
Mr.. Welsh argued that the pro-
posed amendments constitute legis-
lation and that under the circuit

has no legislative authority.
He was supported by Mr.. Chris
topher and Mr.. Belts, who con-
tended the proposed amendments
cannot be acted on until May. the
month set aside in the new county
charter for the adoption of legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Clark. however, who repre-
sented the Chevy Chase Junior C6l.
lege, maintained the amendments
were an administrative ordinance"
and could be acted on by the council
He pointed out the proposals had
been submitted to the council last
July by the Board of Zoning Ap-
peals and that the question whether
they constitute legislation could not
be decided by the courts until the
council acts on them and an appeal
is taken.
Gravelle Urges Action.
Also urging the council to act was
Louis Gravelle, chairman of the
Board of Zoning Appeals.
Mr.. Gravelle said nursery schools
in the country are begging for re-
lief from provisions of the present
coming ordinance.
If you have no authority to pass
these amendments" he told the
council, you might as well stop
meeting and stay home"
Opposition also was voiced by
Harold P. Morris. representing the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton, who claimed the proposals were
"piecemeal."

$4,000 SANDER Suit Filed
Against Anacostia Bank

The Anacostia National Bank
1000 Nichols avenue Sc, was sued
for $4,000 today in District Court
by a Naval Research Laboratory
employe, who contends he was
slandered by a bank employe and
escorted from the banks branch at
the laboratory last July after pro-
testing that he had been given $40
less than a check called for.
The plaintiff, j. Willis Griffith,
IA Cargo Green S.W, said, in the
complaint he had presented check
for $59.28, but received only 1928
for 1t.
When he protested, the complaint
contends in the suit, manager of
the branch was summoned and sug-
gested that Mr.. Grifith may have
slipped" $40 from the money he
was given. Mr.. Griffith added that
he was escorted from the bank by
guard.
Later, the suit said, the branch
manager found that Mr.. Griffith
had been correct. The suit does not
give the names of any of the bank
employees. 1t was filed in Mr.
Grifith's behalf by Attorneys Albert
Brick and Everett M. Raffel.
