First of Seasons
Concerts Given by
Civic Orchestra
By Elena de Soyn

Presented by the District OF Co. i,
lumbia Recreation Department, the
washington Civic Orchestra gave its
first concert of the season last night |
in the Roosevelt High School audi
torium, assisted by Charlotte Bloc
cher, soprano. The group, number
ing some rs members, was ably di-
rected by Hendrix Essers, whose de-
{ votion to the organization begins to
bear fruit. The progress made In
the years of his afflliation can be
sensed in many ways. The most
obvious are quality of tone, pitch
handled with greater security and
the general discipline of the en-
semble.
It was gratifying to hear how va
rious sections subsidized at Mr.. Essers'
bidding, to allow prominence to this
or the other melodic strain often
net powerful enough to be heard
without this special consideration.
From the point of opportunity, |
SDvorak's New World Symphony" on
the program was a good choice.
What a field for perfecting musical
phrases which often reoccur in this |
or the other group or are heard as
an incidental solo! For concen-
ytrated mellow tone, volume and con-
sfidence, the brass section is real
credit to the conductor and the
orchestra. However, one should not
overlook the merits of the woodwind
players and especially those of the
English horn.
In Carolyn H. Griest, Mr.. Essers
has an inspired concertmaster, whose
emotional response to music and to
his direction should kindle flame
In those around her. Animation is .
always an asset, especially If 1t re-
fleets pleasure and more of this
could be cultivated by the orchestra.
A better posture on the part Of the
players would yield more outstand-
ing results. The first two move
ments Of the symphony Jared best /

Splinter Parties

The 1913 national election is remi-
niscent of two other famous cleo
tons in which splinter or third
parties played part in the re-
suit. In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt
and his Bull Moose party defeated
the Republican party and permitted
Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, to win
with minority vote. Wilson polled
6,286,2l4 votes; Roosevelt received
4,2l6,020, and the regular COP
nominee, William Howard Taft,
polled 3,483 1922 votes.
In the election of 1860 the
Separatist party was almost an
exact counterpart of the Dixie
Gratis of today. The Separatists
in the South broke away from
the regular Democratic organ
ization and nominated Brecken-
ridge of Kentucky, while the
regular Democratic organiza-
ton nominated Douglas of ILL
nois. The Republican party
nominated Abraham Lincoln.
The vote was lincoln, 1,S66 1852;
Douglas, 1875 ,157, and Brecken-
ridge, S45,763. So Lincoln won
with minority of the votes
cast.
This reporter feels that inviting
ly the southern Democrats who are
supporting the Thurmond-Wr
ticket are playing directly into the
hands of the Communists
Aid to the Reds
The Stalinites started a third
party in the hope of wrecking the
Democratic party. They would have
failed in their determination to
scuttle the two party system, which
is their intent, had it not been for
the bolt of the southern Democrats.
If the Democrats in the South were
so bitter at President Truman and
his civil rights program they had
only to vote the Republican ticket
to whip Truman. Smashing the
Democratic party was unnecessary.

IN WASHINGTON
Crystal Ball

VIySidI Dbl
NURING this past month the
- air has been heavy with
charges and counter charges in
the heat of one of the most mo-
mentous political campaigns in
American history.
This column is not political col
umn as such, but this reporter,
after reading all the predictions
which have been made from both
sides of the political fence, has
drawn the following conclusions
some of which, if correct, will have
far-reaching effects on American
politics and government within
the next four to eight years.
1-GOVERNOR DEWEY if elect
ed, and it appears that he will be,
will receive minority of the total
votes cast. All polls point to the
fact that the Republican party is
still the minority party in this
country. And there will be no So
called landslide in the popular vote.
"A NEW POLITICAL party
springing from the remnants of the
liberal elements in both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
is most likely to be formed.
3-PRESIDENT Truman likely
will not carry state east of the
Mississippi river and north of the
Mason-Dixon line, although New
Jersey, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Minnesota are border
line states and may 60 either
way. This would not necessarily
mean defeat of President Truman,
since in 1916 President Wilson car
ried only Ohio and New Hampshire
east of the Mississippi and yet was
elected.
4-PRESIDENT Truman is likely
to lose South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi and possibly Florida in
the solid South to the banner of
Governor Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina as a result of the Dixie
crat revolt.
5-PRESIDENT Truman will be
strong in the far West and South
west, with the exception of Cali
fornia and Oregon. He is likely to
carry Texas, Oklahoma, New Mex
leo, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Wyo-
ming, Washington and Montana. In
the central section he likely will
carry Missouri, Kentucky, Tennes-
see and Arkansas along with Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Maryland and North
Carolina in the South. Virginia and
West Virginia are on the border
and may go either way.
6-THE DEMOCRATS have an
excellent opportunity to recapture
control of the senate, winning new
seats in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ok
lahoma and Wyoming. 1t is also
possible for the Democrats to win
senate seat in Minnesota where
Sen. Joe Ball is having a tough
time with Mayor Hubert M. Hum
phreys of Minneapolis. In West Vir-
ginia there is a nip and tuck race
between Republican Sen. Edward
V. Robertson and former Sen. Mat
thew M. Nicely, Democrat. Demo-
Gratis need only four seats to win
control if they hold their present
lineup.
7-HENRY WALLACE and his
Communist backed Progressive
party will poll fewer than three
million votes. Of this total, ap-
proximately 100000 represent the
actual Communist membership in
the country.

OF Ne1v Need for
Palestine Relief
By Ruth Dean

The need for aid to displaced per-
sons in Europe has been accent
uated by the United States reversal
Of policy on the partition of Pal
estine, Stefan Heym, author of "The
Hostages" told representatives of
62 local Jewish women's organiza-
tions yesterday.
Mr.. Heym spoke at a luncheon
meeting of the Women's Division
of the United Jewish Appeal held at
the Woodmont Country Club.
IF the reversal of United States
policy was a shock to us, to the Ma
ton, to the Jews in Palestine and
to the other peoples Of the world,
think of the displaced persons with
their lost hopes of entrance into
Palestine and the years ahead be-
fore they can again become self
respecting Jews" Mr.. Heym de-
clared.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Edward Cafritz, chairman of
the women's division, who pointed
out the women have set a $3.50, 900
quota for this years drive which
will be climaxed with a 500 mini
mum special gifts luncheon on
April 16.
The national goal in the campaign
this year is $256,000 900.
Mr.. Heym declared the need is so
great that even this amount is mot
enough" to do the job of providing
adequate relief for the Jews in
Europe and Palestine. aside from
the moral issue, their needs as of
last Friday have become greater -
he said.
The speaker, whose new book
"The Crusaders" has it's setting in
a DIP camp, discussed the "hysteria
psychosis" which, he said, has swept
many European Jews into displaced
persons camps. They have tried
former environments, he declared
but have been met by a silent wave
Of "insidious anti-Semitism."
Mr.. Heym hailed the United Ma
tions Recommendation for Palestine
partition as Significant" step for
ward in policy, "one which neither
Mr.. Forrestal, Mr.. Marshall nor
even Mr.. Truman can stop"
The luncheon concluded with a
short talk by Miss Flora Rothen-
berg, chairman of the national wom-
ems division of the United Jewish
Appeal, who asked the group to
make their contributions to the
fund in the spirit of personal
sacrifice"
