Choral Group of u
To Repeat Brahms
Program Tonight
By Alice Eversmon

The acquisition by the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation in the
Library of Congress of many auto
graphed manuscripts by the
worlds most famous composers
has been an incentive for the
presentation of these works ir
concert. Such an occasion, but
differing from previous ones in
that the music was entirely vocal
was offered last night when a pro-
gram was arranged in the Coolidge
Auditorium principally for the
preSentati ton of two sets of en-
semble numbers by Brahms. II
was given by a choral group con-
Quoted by Paul Galloway and be-
fore an invited audience. 1t will
be repeated tonight.
Leading up to the Brahms
works, which occupied the last
part of the program, Mr.. Gala
way selected Palestrina's "Stabat
Mater Dolorosa" and Bach's mo-
tet, "Singet dem Herrn." Both
for mixed voices, they provided
the greatest opportunity to judge
the extent of the groups artistic
capabilities. The 26 singers have
excellent voices that blend to-
gether in great purity of tone
Singing a cappella, their sense o.
pitch is impeccable. Mr.. Gala.
ways training has brought about
a buoyant, flexible ensemble thai
scores effects in a smooth anc
delicate way.
While Palestrina great "Stabat
Mater" showed the groups dignity
of style to the best advantage
Bach's motet with its intricate
pattern was an example of bril-
liant technical singing quite out
of the order. One of the six mo-
tets believed to be written for fu-
nerals of prominent persons. the
text gave him the right to Undue
it with a virile and conSoline
spirit. The singers accuracy in at
tacks and in runs in tempo OF
considerable speed. except for g
center section, was evidence OF
| the high standards of mechanical
fuency the group can command
Brahms "Zwoelf Lieder und Ro-
manzen" for womenS voices with
piano accompaniment are the
purest gems. Arranged in two
books of six each. these charming
short songs capture in a short
space a mood or story with the
happiest art. Two solo voices
those of Lillian Grant and Gene
We've Hughes, were heard in the
lovely "Barcarole."
Brahms desire to preserve the
folk songs of his country has re-
suited in sets written for solo
voice and for a group of mixed
voices. The two books of "DeutSche
Volkslieder" for the latter combi-
nation are mastery witnesses of
his skill in adding the spice of an
art form to their natural character.
They are more stolid and less
flowing than the composers own
songs. yet beautiful in their va
riety and charm. Only one called
for individual singers to come
into prominence. a quartet formed
of Ramona Blunt, Evelyn Meyer,
Everett Palmer and Bernard Mo-
ritz. The manuscripts with the
composers autograph were on ex-
hibition in the corridor.

Bill Proposes Vote
On Chever|y Taxes

Storm drainage construction in
Cheverly, Md, would be financed
by taxing property either on an
area basis or on the assessment
values under provisions of a bill
now before the General Assembly
Town Attorney Hervey G. Ma
chen said residents of Cheverly
would be given an opportunity in
a May referendum to decide
whether they approve such a plan
The bill would empower the Town
Council to provide the drainage
facilities and to pass construction
costs along to property owners on
their tax bills, he added.
Mr.. Machen denied earlier re-
ports that the facilities would be
financed on a front-foot basis, the
tax will be based on the size OF
the properties benefited or on their
assessed values. he contended.
A second bill for Cheverly would
provide a referendum on a new
town charter. The charter would
add another ward to the town;
two new councilmen, and double
the 2-year term of the mayor and
council members, Mr.. Machen
said.

ReIiqious Instruction in Schools
Is Aired at Arlington Meeting

The question of the legality of
released time" religious educa-
ton classes in the Virginia public
schools is one which must be de-
termined by the courts, in the
opinion of the Virginia Council
of Churches.
This was made clear last night
by DR.. Minor C. Miller. executive
secretary of the council, speaking
at a meeting of the Parent
Teacher Association of the Kate
Waller Barrett Elementary School,
Arlington.
You may be sure that when
the legally constituted authori-
ties of the State advise the
churches the program is illegal,
the churches will be the first who
will want to discontinue it." Dr..

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 11.-Gov.
Lane rounds out today the ad-
ministration's budget proposal
for 1850.
The Governor was scheduled to
submit his supplementary budget
before the General Assembly
leaves town for the weekend.
How much he will ask the Legis-
lature to add to the record $130,
100000 appropriation bill he drew
up earlier in the session has been
a closely-guarded secret.
Only S402,OO Left
Gov. Lanes primary budget
left a balance of only S402,000
after a S2,OO0,O00 working fund
was set aside as a cushion against
emergencies.
Since that time estimates of
revenues during the year begin
ming July have gone up
slightly. But requests for more
money have mounted high in the
last few weeks.
The latest recommendation was
from the Legislature Mental Hos
pitals Committee, which said an
other S545, 900 should be spent on
hospital payrolls.
Money to carry out conServa-
ton program set forth by the Bow
man Commission on Natural Re-
sources is another major item.

why the classes weren't held after
school hours, DR.. Miller said the
only reason he knew of was that
a competent professional staff OF
instructors couldn't be obtained
to teach after regular hours.
The religious council obtains
consent of parents for their chill
dren to take the classes and en-
ploys separate teachers.
There is nothing at all COM
pulsory about it," DR.. Miller said
Mr.. Phillips. however. declared
there is a social compulsion" on
the students who do not partici-
pate.
A. G. Conover. a PTA member,
said there is psychological
compulsion on the part of the
children to attend.
Many parents will consent to
the attendance because they
don't want their child to be con-
spicuous, he said.
Called Question for Voters.
Michael Cardozo, an attorney
and PTA member, said he thinks
the question of the program is not
for the courts but for the voters
to decide.
Mr.. Phillips asserted the ques-
ton will be settled by public opin-
ion and called for more meetings
in order that the people can be
we'll informed and come to con-
clusions so that public opinion can
be shaped"
The Virginia Attorney General
has ruled the Arlington program is
legal because the instruction is
nonsectarian and noncompulsory,
is independent of the school sys-
tenn and is not financed by public
funds.
DR.. Miller conceded that the
program, however. was designed
for Protestants and it is not con-
templated that Jews or Catholics
take it. He said other groups may
have their own programs.
The very fact that it is for
Protestants makes it sectarian, &C
cording to Mr.. Phillips. and in
violation of the Attorney Generals S
ruling.
