A frequent visitor here in the
past. Sascha Jacobsen, violinist,
returned to the Library of Con-
gress last night, this time to play
three violin and piano sonatas
with Frank Sheridan. The concert
was sponsored by the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation.
Although Mr.. Jacobsen was we'll
known here as leader of the Mu-
steal Art String Quartet, he has
never been heard in the type Of
ensemble he essayed yesterday. Its
intimacy has its pros and cons.
These are chiefly due to the diver
sity of the two instruments which
presents obstacles for the complete
fusion music calls for. The tonal
adjustment in this case rests ex-
clusively with the pianist.
AS there is generally, more to
the music than appears on the
printed pages, partners can
achieve best results only when
atuned temperamentally as well.
It does not always follow that two
first class musicians, such as are
Mr.. Jacobsen and Mr.. Sheridan
who can play anything that is put
in front of them-have the same
vision.

On Pacific POLICY

The Pacific Coast is no place for

Knowland, Republican, of Cali

Yesterday in an address on Amer
lean Policy in the Far East"
The Senator also warned that
"the chances of saving Europe
depend on whether all Asia passes
into the Soviet orbit"
II don't know a single naval or
military official who doesn't be-
lieve that the defense of Formosa
is essential to the preservation of
the free world" the speaker de-
clared.
Senator Knowland, who spent
last November on an inspection
trip of Japan, Korea. Formosa and
the Philippines, stressed that as
long as Formosa is in friendly
hands" there is no danger to our
defense position.
THE Philippine government
recognizes the fact that the fall
of Formosa to the Chinese Com
munists would jeopardize not only
the freedom Of the Philippines but
all free Asia" he added.
Senator Knowland, who re-
turned a few days ago from view
ing the atomic weapons tests in
Nevada as a member of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy,
commented briefly on his reac-
tons.

George Washington's overtime
66-62 triumph over William and
Mary in the second game of the
Uline Arena doubleheader last
night saved the Rules Committee
of the College Basketball Coaches

eighth of the game, Georgetown
fouled the Chiefs II times and
each time the visitors took the ball
out of bounds, retaining posses
sion instead of shooting the foul.
There were no points scored and
the freeze wasn't a particularly
good one.
The last 4:45 simply cluttered
up the game and called further
attention to what basketball fans
have been saying all along-that
the coaches must find some
means of making the last few

They anticipated most of the
action would be on William and
Mary's part. but CIV scored IA
consecutive points against the
team that upset North Carolina
State last Saturday, and it was
CIV all the way until the last
nine minutes.
William and Mary's all-court
press confused the Colonials and
the Indians sent it into overtime
at 56-all, but GW's sophomore
dominated team came through in
the extra period.
Coach Bill Remnant apparently
has virtually given up on his
seniors. Big, clumsy Ace Adler,
for four years a favorite of the
fans, did not get into the game
until all available manpower had
been used and with only 80 sec

on fouls. Then a grumpy looking
Adler was substituted.
