NEW YORK, Mar. 28.-Dmitr
Shostakovich played the piano ir
Madison Square Garden for SIX
minutes last night and received
an ovation almost as long.
The demonstration must have
been due to his renown as a COM
poser, for as a pianist the 43-year-
old Russian is only a routine
player.
Just like many other composers
he uses the piano as a workbench
source of ideas rather than
means Of expression.
But the piece he played merited
the demonstration.
It was a transcription of tn
second movement. marked "Alleg
retto," of his own Fifth Syphony
first performed by the Leningrat
Philharmonic in 1887.
It was this Fifth which restored
Mr.. Shostakovich to the goot
gIaces of Soviet music authorize
after he had been cold-shoulderee
for two years because Of his "for
malist" compositions.
Stiff, shy. wooden. responding tt
applause with abrupt bows from
the waist. the bespectacled com
poser firmly refused to give ar
encore.
But to the public he seemed te

ing session of the Cultural and

Peace which began four hours

speech astounding to me"
Prof. Schuman told the session
at the Waldorf Astoria that Rus.

by frightened. neurotic ano
small minded men. are marching
blindly toward a war that neither

Victory in such a conflict, Prof
Schuman said, would bring uni.
versal fascism and a blasted cul-
ture.
At one point, Prof. Schuman
referred to Winston Churchill as
the leader of a coalition which 80
years ago waged "undeclared war
on the new Soviet state.
Boos followed mention of Mr.
Churchill's name. and Prof. Schu-

Schuman by stating there are nc

president, called the stoppage as
protest against DR.. James Boyd's
appointment as director OF the
Bureau of Mines. He also termed
it a memorial to miners killed
and injured last year.
Hardly had the work stoppage
gotten underway than the Sen
ate's Interior Committee approved
President Truman's nomination
by q 10-1 vote. Then, 4 few days
later, the. Senate ignored Mr.
Lewis-it confirmed DR.. Boyd by
a SOIL vote.
When Mr.. Lewis called the stop

work. He said coal was needed
there-because of severe climatic
conditions.

SANDER in order to prepare public
opinion for the transmission of
the so-called cold war to outright
aggression"
He did not identify new aspir-
ants to world domination.
He referred to recent criticism
of his music in Russia by saying
that in his postwar compositions
lin which I departed from big
themes and contemporary images
1 lost my contact with the people
and I failed. My work found re-
sponse only among the narrow
strata of sophisticated musicians,
but they failed to meet with ap-
proval among the broad masses of
listeners.
He lashed out at Igor Stravinsky
another Russian composer who
came to the United. States and
now is in Hollywood, saying:
THE story of Stravinsky is
highly revealing. His beginnings
were promising. But having
broken with the tradition Of the
Russian national school of music
having betrayed his native land
and severed himself from his peo-
pie, Stravinsky Joined the camp
of reactionary modernistic musi-
ans. His moral narrowness reveals
itself in his openly Nihilistic writ
ingSt"', ,,,-a ,t,r
While attacking Mr.. Stravinsky,
Mr.. Shostakovich praised another
noted Russian composer. Sergei
Prokofieff,. who is still in Russia.
Mr.. Shostakovich said he was
convinced Mr.. Prokof1ed will find
great creative successes" If he
"ceaselessly continues his search
for enrichment of the contents

Alabama Men Back.
Virtually all Alabama's $4,000
miners were back on the job and
coal-carrying railroads anticipated
recalling all employees made idle
by the stoppage by the end of the
week.
In the Eastern Pennsylvania an
thracite fields, hard coal mines
opened today with most of the
men working. There was a rush
for coal by retailers this morning
but the mild weather was ex-
pected to end the extra demands
shortly.
The Virginia Coal Operations
Association said full crews were
digging coal at all pits with nor
NAL production expected tomor-
row by some $4,000 miners.
Ready for Work.
Everything was ready for the
miners to start earning money
again. A spokesman for the West

lost $55,000.000 in wages during
their two weeks of idleness.

Weapons, Coy Says

Radio-equipped taxicabs and
buses will be among Americas
most vital civilian defense wea-
pons in another war. Chairman
Wayne Coy of the Federal Com
munications Commission predict
ed today.
The country's growing private
mobile radio systems are 'poten-
TALLY one Of our most powerful
instruments Of national defense"
Mr.. Coy declared in an address
before the Armed Forces Com
munications Association at the
Shoreham Hotel.
Forecasting that the United
States will have half a million
motor vehicles equipped with two
way radio within five years. Mr..
Coy said there are already 100000
such vehicles, including:
Thirty-two thousand taxicabs.
which could be directed for de-
fense purposes by civil or military
authorities.
Twenty six thousand utility
trucks-belonging to water. gas,
electric and telephone companies.
$4,000 Radio Police Cars.
Fifty thousand police cars al
ready in service or scheduled for
construction, directly by 1000 land
stationS-a growth from $4,000
cars and 1000 stations before the
recent war.
The Nation now has a total Of
265 900 land stations and mobile
transmitters either in operation
or authorized for construction, Mr..
Coy said. In addition to the types
listed, he cited adoption of radio
by inter-city bus and truck lines
and use of radio by such individual
industries as the petroleum in
duStry.
Fourteen trains also have radio
telephone service, as do 1000
ships and $50 airplanes, the COM
mission chairman reported. In
addition, some 1000 motor We
hicles have radio-telephones con-
nected to regular exchanges, he
said.
Most Farms without Phones.
He warned that while the cour1-
try now has 100000 telephones
40 per cent more than in 194l-
nearly so per cent of the country's
farms do not vet have them.
when we consider how essen
tial farm telephone service is in
expediting food production and in
various civilian defense measures
during a war" the FEC chairman
declared, I'VE can realize what a
gap this constitutes in our COM
munications preparedness.
Mr.. Coy also asserted that in
telegraph development western
Union has not achieved the de-
gree of efficiency that we should
have for a really f1rst-class record
communications system" but he
added, lit is taking some hopeful
steps toward improvement"
