The concert by the National

out to be the sole musical event
of the day. The program Of Schu-

reason, the artist and his accom-

failed to arrive in Washington.
The large audience waited for
some time and then dispersed.

in a first performance here OF

an ample for the brilliant passages
and a sympathetic understanding
of the work. Her tone is very
pleasing and she maintained it so
throughout her playing. Although
not colorist to any great degree,
she is musician enough to respect

to expand them harshly. Her
fluent performance received gen.

from the audience.

Here's The Way Your Moneys Spent

Until the Community Chest drive closes on Nov. 20, the Valley Frontiersman will carry a weekly feature prepared by one of the member agencies of Community Chest. The purpose of these fea- lures is to show Valley residents exactly how and where their con- tribution will be spent.
 The following material was pre- pared by member of the board of directors of the Palmer Library.
 The Palmer Public Library has been given a piece of property on which it hopes to erect it's own building. It has recently announced a building fund campaign to fi- nance the project. This campaign takes the form of food sales held the first Saturday of each month at the Trading Post.
 In answer to the question of whether such drive by member agency is contrary to the Commu- nity Chest purposes the answer is that the Chest does not include building funds or equipment (such for extraordinary equipment such as x-ray machines, trucks, etc) which usually is financed through other means.

A flying tackle by a husky po-
liceman early today snatched a
Washington man from the Key
Bridge guard wall. where he had
stood poised for about 20 minutes.
Before the man finally was flung
to safety, an Army doctor and sew
eral policemen had tried to
persuade him against carrying out
a threat to plunge into the Poto-
mac River.
The man, identified by police as
John Edward Haynes, 80, of the
first block Underwood street NV,

Iran Visitor Appeals
Fine in Montgomery

A Persian visitor to Washington
took steps yesterday to assure that
a Montgomery County jury, not a

law.
Cyrus H. Khabir, ~, who said
he graduated recently from the
University OF Southern California,
noted an appeal to Circuit Court
from the $40 fine imposed last
week by Judge James Miller.
Mr.. Khabir objected strenu-
ously to the hearing before Judge
Miller, asserting that under the
Constitution he is entitled to trial
by jury.
The magistrate explained that
cases of the sort are handled in
Maryland police courts. He point
ed out that convicted persons
have the right of appeal.
Mr.. Khabir argued his own
case, consuming two hours to
deny that he entered a Bethesda
intersection when the red traffic
light was against him. A police
men testified he did.
Judge Miller, who frankly ad-
mitted being vexed by the pro-
longed hearing, recessed court for
a cooling off period" before de-
Gliding upon the penalty. Later
he fixed the fine, with costs, which
make the total $11.45.

ter criminals from continuing their
activity In the District"

large the police force in step with
