NEW YORK, June 22.-The
majority Of Czechoslovaks pro-
foundly hate communism, but it
will take a war or internal collapse
of the Communist world to rid
the country of its new masters.
This is the appraisal of a New
York Times correspondent who
recently left Czechoslovakia to
avoid possible arrest in one of the
Communists spy hunts.
In February, 1948, the Commu-
nists substituted a peoples de-
mocracy" for the republic under
which the Czechs had f1ourished.
The Communists installed all the
equipment of the police state-the
spies, agents, provocateurs and
informers to serve the secret po-
lice. Fear was their weapon
against any who opposed the new
order.

press. schools, and the right to
meet or issue statements without
government permission. The
bishops are prisoners in their own
homes. The lower ranking clergy
has been forced to sign the oath of
allegiance to the regime.
What the Communists have
done in CZechoslovakia, Mr.
Schmidt says, is model for what
they would do in Italy or France
or any advanced capitalistic coun-
try where they seized power.
Because of her capitalistic past
Czechoslovakia enjoys the highest
standard of living of any Com
munist country. but the Russians,
rather than make the country a
show window of communism, are
likely to force down the standard
deliberately. The Russian standard
compares too unfavorably. It is

France Asking Allies

PARIS. June 22.-The Foreign

country. who suffer under the
technical status of enemy aliens.
French representatives will raise
the issue at an Allied meeting in
London starting July 3. 1t is in
cluded in a memorandum France
submitted to the United States
and Britain in preparation for the
session.
Under it the three Western pow
ers would individually declare the
war ended. but this would not
affect the status Of the occupation
or Allied supervision over the
West German government at
Bonn.
The French feel that German
nationals working or living abroad
are under a great handicap be-
cause their civil rights are re-
stricted.
On the other hand. there seems
no likelihood that a general peace
treaty can be written in the fore
Seeable future. The Western pow
ers also hesitate to draft q sep
arate treaty. without the Russians,
for only part of Germany.
The French argue that the Naxi
German government surrendered
Internationally and thereby
ceased to exist: the Allies can no
longer be at war with q nom
existent foe.
The London meeting also will
take UP proposals on revision Of
the occupation statute and on
German Indebtedness. It was au-
thorized by the Big Three Foreign
Ministers meeting in London last
month.

Tschalkowsky's personal life
The quality of the performance
was of the same high order as the
entire program. 1t seemed, if
that were possible, that the Phila-
delphians outdid themselves. The
violins have never sung so ex-
quisitely and each section was at
it's finest. So rarely is the drum
mer mentioned that special praise
must go to the one who added so
dramatically to the effect in the
Fourth Symphony.

Orrondy and PhiodeIphions Play
Tschoikowsky Program Superby
By Alice Eversmon

The peak of the season, as re-
CARDS superb playing, was reached
by the Philadelphia Orchestra last
night with the presentation of a
TschaikowSky program in ConSti-
tuition Hall. To the very small
number of specialists in interpret
ing the Russian composers Or
chestral works is added the Phila-
delphian's conductor, Eugene Or
mandy. He demonstrated that
only a fine blending of cool musi-
cianShip, responsive temperament
and knowledge of the orchestra's
most intimate potentialities can
set forth in balanced manner the
varied content of this music. His
directing last night was unrivaled.
The quality of Tschaikowsky's
music Is such that the appeal is
immediate. For that reason, per-
haps, it has become fashionable
among the erudite to dismiss it as
sentimental, cheap, lachrymose
and theatrical. In face of a pres
entation such as that of last night,
this estimate falls to pieces. The
Fourth and Sixth Symphonies,
which Mr.. Ormandy programmed,
were filled with drama and with
poetry, not conceived by their in
terpreter in any sentimental fash
ion. His ideas were shared by the
musicians en- maSse, otherwise
such perfect CO. ordination of feel
ing and execution could not be
present.
The Symphony No. 4" offers
the greatest test in interpretive
construction. It can so easily be
over or under done or marred by
lack of insight. Mr.. Ormandys S
reading was subtle. It was felt
in the measured tempo, sometimes
adopted, and in the particular
lied treatment of phrases which
seemed almost to delay movement
until the reason was evident at
the end. Such tremendous range
of dynamics as he employed kept
color f1uctuating and emotion
passing from the poetic to the
vehement. 1t was virile and glow
ing. yet the entity of the work was
guarded throughout. There were
bursts of applause after every
movement and an ovation at the
symphonys close.
The tragic. despairing charac-
ter of the Symphony No. 6" was
handled no less skillfully. It's
emotion was disclosed as some
thing more cosmic than personal
and so avoided being classed as
simply melancholy. In contrast
to the overwhelming climaxes of
the Fourth, the even level of the
Sixth was underlined. But it was
imbued with equal drama. To-
take these two familiar SYM
phonies and bring to their presen-
tation a fresh enthusiasm and
a deeper vision was a feat in it
self. Mr.. Ormandy did this and
the audience had a new expert
ence.
So fascinating was the perform
ance of the symphonies that the
first presentation in Constitution
Hall of the Overture to Tschai-
kowsky's "The Oprichnik" took
second place. 1t is nonetheless a
highly interesting work, enriched
by the composers magic with the
orchestral tone. In spite of that,
and of its well designed form, it
has an emptiness due to the de-
tachment of the subject from
