Anti. .vivisectionists Called
'Termites' Of Research
BY the Associofsd Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Anti-vivisec-
tionists were likened today by a
zoologist to 'terlnites at the founda-
ton of medical research"
The phrase was used by DR.. WAL
ter C. Kraatz of the University
Of Akron Zoology Department. In
an article published in the Febru-
ary issue of the magazine, Hygeia,
he said that overwhelming bene-
ficial results Of animal experimental
ton discredit the anti-vivisection
movement.
1T appears that the development
of an anti-vivisectionist begins in
ignorance of scientific animal ex-
perimentation, aided by maudlin
sentimentality about animals" he
said. often in the background and
serving as authority for the others
are various anti-medical quacks."
DR.. Kraatz said the movement
has been bolstered by ''misrepre-
sentations of science and scientists"
including imaginative pictures Of
Ia medical laboratory Is q chamber
Of horrors"

ChineseArtist
Praised for
:PionoConcert
By EIenu de Soyn

Soonkin Wong, a young and at
tractive Chinese pianist, opened
the National Gallery of Art series
with a successful recital last night.
Her fleet fingers made a brilliant
display of technical facility and
gave a substantial proof Of solid
musical education received on this
side of the Pacific. To her ap-
probation of. Western music she
adds the elusive charm Of Eastern
art, achieving easily subtle and
shimmering effect.
Yet the very. delicacy of her
playing, lovely in itself for its SEN
sitivity, seems to call for more
intimate surroundings than af-
forded by the Gallery. Also, her
original approach to music was
not always appropriate to the
compositions essayed. AS present.
ed, such diverse personalities as
Mozart, Bax, Poulenc, Balakirew
and Brahms, who lived in differ
ent epochs and belonged to diff
ferent schools of thought. lost
their identity, developing suddenly
q kinship and a single purpose at
odds with their idioms.
Mozart's Sonata in A minor"
appealed for it's purity of form,
but the subordination of the left
hand to the right robbed the per-
formance of much additional
color. Miss Wong's concentration
on the right hand throughout the
evening caused eventually a sense
of monotony, while the lack OF
strength in her left often de-
tracted from the excellence of her
pianistic achievement.
Bax's What the Minstrel Told
Us" might have gained through
the use of greater dramatic force
and by more contrasts. Balaki-
rew's "Islamey" based on a poem.
was wanting in power and UNDER
standing of the ideas which in
spired the composer. Yet Miss
Wong exhibited a remarkable
proweSs in her octaves and in her
reaching of the various registers
with utmost precision.
The style of Poulenc seemed to
approach the pianist's own best,
and made her delivery of Presto"
Movements Perpetuels, No. II,
and novelette, No. l in c Major"
distinctive. The reception ac-
corded to the artist was spontane-
GUS and enthusiastic.
