Peace Prospects Dim
In Fort BeIvoir Strike;
Soldiers Do Repairs

Prospects for early settlement
of strike Of $50 AFL plumbers
in the Washington area and $50
AFL carpenters on a job at Fort
Belvoir were reported to be "ex-
ceedingly dim" today.
Soldiers at Fort Belvoir have
been ordered to do some kinds
OF repair work there because Of
the walkout of the carpenters a
week ago in dispute involving
reported use of non-union labor.
A Fort Belvoir spokesman said
Maj. Gen. Douglas L. Weart, COM
manding general, has no inten-
ton of trying to break the strike.
The GIs were assigned to put
some barracks in shape for men
scheduled to arrive soon for train
ing, he explained. The repair
work is necessary mainly for rea-
sons of safety, he added.
Arbitration Considered.
The AFL plumbers union today
was studying a proposal by the
Washington Contractors Associa-
ton that a wage dispute be ar
bitrated. Frank Haines, chair
man of the employees negotiating
committee, said he has not yet
received an answer from the
union.
A union spokesman said the
proposal was under consideration
but that there was no change to-
day in the strike picture. The
plumbers went on strike last Mon
day in dispute involving their
demand for an hourly wage rate
increase from $3.50 to $2.75.
The $50 carpenters walked OF
the Fort Belvoir job a week ago.
They had been rehabilitating three
barracks, part of $337 900 prof.
ect covering more than 200 build
ingS.
No Sign of Quick Peace.
A Carpenters District Council
official said there was no sign Of
an immediate agreement in the
dispute. He added that union
officials had no comment on the
use of soldiers for repair work.
Fort Belvoir officials said they
could not estimate how many SOL
diers might be used for repair
work. Such activity, they ex-
planned. would be on unit basis.
Commanders of units moving into
barracks have been authorized to
assign men to make repairs on
such things as stairways, fire
escape ladders and other fixtures
that might be a safety hazard.
Meanwhile, Pentagon officials
repeatedly hoped to bring the
union and employers together for
conferences. The dispute hinges
on use of non-union carpenters
by one of the four contracting
firms on the overall project.

By the Associated Press

ABOARD YACHT COMMAND
Err, Oct. 5.-President Truman
took a brisk 2la mile hike ashore
today in historic Yorktown, Va,
before resuming his leisurely cruise
in Chesapeake Bay waters.
The President got up at 5:45
am. in hopes of starting his walk
early but rain stopped him. He
had to wait until 9:15 am. before

Longfellow. and trailed by news
men who have been following the
cruise in the yacht Commander.
AS the President went back
aboard the Williamsburg for trip
across the Bay to Tangier Sound,
he told reporters he intended to
telephone his daughter Margaret,
who has been i'll of larngitis in
New York.
CriticizeS Architecture.
At one point on his walk
through the depot grounds, Mr..
Truman stopped to criticize the
architecture of a Colonial chapel,
He said the spire wasn't high
enough or broad enough at the
base to fit in with the rest of the
building.
While he was waiting for the
weather to clear UP, Mr.. Truman
got a present of 80 rockfish from a
depot employe, William Wyatt.
He posed for pictures with Mr..
Wyatt.
He also had his picture taken
earlier walking on the afterdeck of
the Williamsburg with crewman.
Seaman Carl r. Motif of Salt Lake
City. Mr.. Truman had called to
Motif to walk with him.
The visit ashore was Mr.. Tru-
mans first since he started the
wandering cruise last Saturday.

the yachts lounge. mostly about
the cruise and the weather.
He went back to the Williams
burg, but returned again to the
Commander about 1880 pm,
poked his head in the door of the
lounge and asked. Anybody
home?" He stayed about 20 nm
utes.
On yesterdays trip down the
bay the President listened over
the radio to the first part of the
World Series baseball game, then
went to work on official papers
flown in from Washington. Later
he got word that he had won a
staff pool on the outcome of the
game.
MIR. Truman had drawn the New
York Yankees in the fourth, when
they made the only score of the
game.
The prize. said Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross, was "just a small
one" He refused to name it.

Rapport Difficult as Koussevitzky
Again Conducts Boston Symphony

player by Samuel Mayes. If the
Symphony No. S" in itself does
not offer the substance some OF
the later ones do, it is remarkable
example of Sibelius' power to build
long lines from a mass Of detail
and to employ his fine serse OF
tone color. The reading took
cognizance of all that and it was
highlighted by wealth of nuance.
1t fell just short, nevertheless, Of
the creative duty left to the Or
chestra in the matter of atmos-
phere and a projection of that
strange quality of Sibelius' music
that is like no other. DR.. Kous-
sevitzky's intentions were evident
and while the musicians responded
we'll for the most part, the smooth,
unified and inspired development
did not come forth as it has in
the past.
The performance of Brahms
Symphony No. l." on the other
hand, was magnificent. Rarely
has so fine a delineation of it
been given or one so sharply de-
fined. Most of all, it had a velvety
contour in spite Of its intensity
and grandeur. There was exal-
tation in the Interpretation, and
even in the sound of the instru-
ments, and with little effort, DR..
Koussevitzky led his musicians in

The eve of the birthday ami
versary of Finland's great COM
poser, Jean Sibelius, was an
appropriate occasion for the
Boston Symphony Orchestra to
devote the greater part of its
program in Constitution Hall last
night to his music. The presence
of the Finnish Minister and Nine.
Jutila added to the interest OF
the event. which saw also the
return of DR.. Serge KousSevitzky
to his old post as conductor of the
orchestra. Now Music Director
Emeritus, he shows the effects OF
the slight abatement OF his
many duties and directed with
fire and energy.
It was a pleasant reunion for
all concerned and the audience
stood to welcome the distin-
guished conductor on his en-
trance. Since DR.. Koussevitzky's S
retirement, the orchestra has been
under an entirely different type
of leadership and was not i'm
mediately amenable to it's former
conductors style. That style, as
many performances have proven,
Is designed to extract with the
greatest fiinesse and, at the
same time, the greatest beauty
and forcefulness. the content of
the music To that end it re-
quired the complete cooperation
between the musicians and con-
ductor which has gained the
Boston ensemble its fame.
1t was not so easy to establish
the old rapport last night. 1t was
obvious in the effort to maintain
the continuity in both Sibelius'
"Pohjola's Daughter" and the
Symphony No. s." although a
direct, unbroken thread is not to
be found in this composers music.
It is more the building of passage
on passage until Sibelius' i'm
personal manner of depicting
ideas reveals the immeasurable
beauty contained in them. The
orchestra played with its custom
ary superb quality of tone and
impeccable musicianship. 1t was
slow, however, in getting into the
special mood needed for a superla-
tive Sibelius performance.
There was little of spontaneous
excitement in "Pohjola's Daugh-
ter" to offset the quieter themes

plain socialism and socialized
medicine in Britain in the real

Describing socialism as not a
mere change in economy, but a
"bitter war intended to attain
fantastic power" DR.. Daniels
called Britain's socialists "wanton,
paralyzing liars" who have COM
pletely deceived the poor. ami
hilated the rich and the middle
class by bankrupting them and
running Britain at "a fantastic
loss"
He said Britain's socialists did
not come to power by the COIN
cidence of a costly war or British
"decadence," but after so years Of
strategy and undermining, and by
forcing an election when Britain
was in turmoil.
DR.. Daniels. who has made 38
talks in this country. declared So
cialized medicine to be the corner
stone Of the socialiZed state.
Life, death and sickness are
the most emotional things in life. I"
DR.. Daniels said. IF you can
persuade people they are uncared
