known that he believes in the in

Or in social occasions, the plain
facts of history prove that they
are of lower creation.
Perhaps it is not fair to the
president to give this conclusion.

Richard Farrell's
First Recital Here
Is Well Received
By Alice Eversmon

The first appearance here OF
Richard Farrell in a recital last
night in the National Gallery OF
Art made known gifted New
Zealand pianist. The reception
given his performance of stand
ard program spoke of the enthu-
siastic Endorsement of the audi
ence which. if not of capacity
strength, was large. From the
test his selections offered, he es-
tablished himself among the first
rank Of notable young artists to
be presented by the Gallery.
While his playing was invested
with musical thought in every in
stance. it was rarely directed. by
abandon. The glowing personal
factor was not so much in evi-
dence as were the dictates of good
musicianship. It satisfied the
artistic sense fully, abetted by a
sure and facile mechanical equip
ment. but it provided no surprises
as the program progressed. One
learned to look for a musical treat
ment Of individual aspect. This
was first made known in the
Bach Busoni "Chaconne" where
exaggerated effects were eschewed
except when they served as a foil
for a refined use Of color. It is
true that. Mr.. Farrell's fortissimo
Evening star., 1949-10-31

tended to rob his tone of it's pleas
ing quality in the Bach, although
being properly clinactic in the
second movement of Schumann' s
"Phantasie.
The "Chaconne" was not SC
grandiose in it's line as it was
, clear and varied. In a way, this
delayed the forward stride of the
music but it also resulted in in
teresting details many times
passed over indiferently. The
innate appreciation of musical
meaning and the feeling for con-
trasting effects disclosed in the
Bach, was heard again in the
easy adaptation of style to Mo-
zart's variations on the child
ish theme. "Ah, vous dirais-je
maman." Mr.. Farrell's charming
presentation took account of all
the delicate changes rung on the
simple melody.
His pearl-like and transpar-
emily clear technique took on a
more brilliant impulse in numbers
by Ravel and Debussy later in
the program. For Schumann'
"Phantasie," it had the mellow
ness that stressed the essentially
poetical spirit of the work. The
lyrical portions of the first move
ment received sensitive treatment
and the chief theme was set
forth with power. Some excessive
pedaling crept in to the second
section but the climax was i'm
pressive enough to warrant such
an outburst of applause as to
seem to end the work then and
there. This detached the final

Two Norfolk
Children Die in
Blast AT Home

NORFOLK, Va. CAMP Two
small children lost their lives in a
fire that started when an oil stove
exploded in their home shortly be-
fore 2 pm. here Tuesday, Dec. 6,
The victims either burned to
to death or suffocated at their
residence in the 700 block of
Stafford street in the Berkley
section of Norfolk.
The young victims were identi-
fled as Carroll Ellie Towe, 2 and
Shirley Elizabeth Towe, 5. Detect
i've Sgt. L. L. Jones, who investi-
gated the tragedy, said the mother
Mrs. Evelyn Towe, a widow, was
visiting in a residence across the
street at the time Of the explosion.
It appeared that the children
fled to an upstairs bedroom and
shut the door when the explosion
occurred. Before the fire was ex-
tinguished, however, the flames
spread through the wooden struct-
ure to their retreat on the second
floor. The detectives said both
bodies were badly burned.
The blaze caused little damage
tothe house except from the in
side and comparative little damage
to the second floor. Though the
blaze was put out in a short time
after the arrival of the fire de-
partment, the children had al
ready died.
The death Of the two children
brings thetotal number of deaths
by fire within one month in the
city to four.

SPRINGFIELD (ANP)- The
Illinois meeting which has for it's
purpose the development of plans

Saturday. Gov Adlai Stevenson
had sent invitations to 100 out

sent were the Rev. J. C. Austin,
pastor of Chicago's Pilgrim Bap-
fist church, and Sidney Williams,
executive secretary Of the Chicago
Urban league.
DR.. Austin was elected chair
man of one Of the three sections,
that dealing with .adolescent youth.
It was a striking meeting. He
opened it with silent prayer and
pointed out that 's.the hope Of all
ages was the necessity for their
return to God.
esThe triumph Of error is only
temporary, DR.. Austin declared.
"The truly dominant force in the

Sidney Williams remarked that
he was concerned especially with
the problems Of Negro youth.
They were filling up correctional
and penal institutions, he said, be-
cause of the handicaps under which
they were living.
The Urban League specialist de-
clared that the fair Employment

by the legislature in Springfield
a few weeks ago helped to bring
about the problems which beset
groups.
