new music. He tried to keep his
pupils from initiating him and
urged that they write only as hey
feel.
The musical world has found it,
contradictory that while devising
the most radical metamorphosiS
in music's form, he still longed to
return to the classic idiom. His
own explanation of the deviations
that occurred occasionally in his
manner of writing is, 1.-THE Su-
preme Commander had ordered
me on a harder road. But q
longing to return to the older
style was always vigorous in me
and from time to time I had to
yield to that urge. This is how
and why I sometimes write tonal
music. To me stylistic differences
of this nature are not of special
Importance. He has impressed
this thought on many of the pres
|ent day composers who strive to
combine the new method with the
old.
Yet. at the time he sought
haven in sthe United States,
critics were still virulent in de-
nouncing him. A British writer
said, Among thoughtful mu-
sicians there is an impression
that this once-gifted artist is now
afflicted by one of those diseases
of the spirit which sometimes
visit those whose pride and am
bitions have outgrown natural
bonds. So long as he leaned on
others, he could persuade and
even charm. AS soon as he cast
off the guidance of better men, he
became like a ship without rud-
der-he has tried almost every
thing; he has won nothing"
Pride and ambition never
seemed to be dominant traits in
Schoenberg's character. He was
a spiritual man who felt he had
| a mission and that he was but
the 'loud-speaker of an idea"
Only time will bring the full pic
ture of Schoenberg into clear re-
lief. Every one must acknowledge.
however, that he was genius who
gave an unprecedented impulse to
music and this country was for
tunate in having him active in
national music life for close to &c
years. In his writing he has left
a valuable legacy to the world.

RANTOUL, ILL.,, Jan. 24.-The
Punishment Of slot machines from
Chanute Field has put the cost

men on strict personal basis.
Brig. Gen. Byron Gates. the
commanding officer of the Air
Force base, said last night that
since he ordered the slots off the
base six weeks ago the enlisted
mems club has had to finance
itself by charging for shows.
AS an example, Gen. Gates said
each airman paid $50 cash or
authorized that amount deducted
from his pay for admission Mon
day night to two shows given by
Comedian Bob Hope.
About 400 enlisted men and
officers attended the shows. About
$4,000 was raised. Mr.. Hope came
here at his own expense and pre-
sented his shows without charge.
In Palm Springs. Calf, Mr..
Hope told a reporter that Gen.
Gates mentioned the new policy
of everything on a pay as you go
basis since slots were banished
but commented:
81 had no idea that my show
was included"
The comedian. who has enter
tanned servicemen free for years,

said "It is undoubtedly a local
policy at Chanute. I hate to see
it happen"
Gen. Gates said the Enlisted
Mems Club, also known as the
Airmen's Club, had made profit
of about $4,000 a month on the
slot machines and the money was
used to pay the costs of entertain
ment. But he added that he be-
lieves the paid entertainment pro-
gram is essential to base morale
and welfare.
The slot machines were ordered
off the base. he explained. after
Congress enacted law banning
them from interstate commerce.
Gen. Gates said the money re-
ceived from the shows probably
will go to the Airmen's Club-a
club set up strictly for enlisted
men at the field. It is comparable
to the officers clubs In military
posts, offering various forms of
recreation.
There are 10000 men at the

Agreement on Europe.
The principle of no-appease-
ment was in line with that de-
clared by the President and Prime
Minister Attlee of Great Britain
at their meeting last month.
On the subject Of Europe, the
two leaders said they recognized
its vital Importance ito the entire
defense of the free world" and
were in fundamental agreement"
about the necessity of integrating
democratic Germany into a
vigorous. Western European COM

Pleven told reporters as he left
the White House.

The Premier stayed over today
to attend a Capitol Hill luncheon
arranged by Senate Secretary Les

him the opportunity to assure in
fluential legislators of Frances de-
termination to stand beside the
United States in resisting Soviet
aggression.
Mr.. Pleven will leave Washing

York and then to Ottawa.

committee today was considering
the Governments program of dis.
persing executive agencies, with
100000 workers, into Washington
suburbs.
Chairman Holland of the SUBJ
committee said:
washington won't be a No. !
target when this is accomplished.
Military experts have pointed
out that an enemy with one
atomic bomb dropped in the Gen.
ter of the triangle formed by the
Capitol, the White House and
the Pentagon could wipe out most
of the vital nerve centers of the
Government. Scattering the agen-
cies critically necessary to wage
war and maintain Government
continuity is the dispersal plan
advocated as an answer to this.
Time for Study.
Senator Holland, making il
clear that he was speaking for
himself and not for the subcom-
mittee, said national security is
the uppermost question in the
dispersal program.
ut seems to me that the pro-
gram is so essentially keyed to the
emergency that we should hasten
it," he added.

At least so deaths over the Ma

Snowfall Measures 0.3 Inches.
Yesterday an official 03 inches of
snow fell but the Weather Bureau
said possibly as much as 2 inches
covered some parts of Montgom-
cry County and other areas of
Maryland.
The high temperature recorded
in the past "a hours was 80 de-
gress at 1901 am. Tuesday. BY
8 am. today the thermometer was
down to 81 degrees and then
started a slow climb upward.
Although it was cold, the Wealth
er Bureau said it was not too un-
usual. The record low for the day
is two degrees below zero set in
1925.
A number of persons in the area
suffered minor injuries in falls on
the ice. Minor automobile acci-
dents kept police busy in the city
as well as in suburban areas.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-A judge
has dismissed charges against
Harold Titus, 38, son of Helena
Rubinstein, the beauty expert. He

colored cafe dancer.
Charges of kidnapping, robbery

said he is an advertising execu-
tive for his mothers firm. The
defendants were Dorothy Halsey
80, press agent, and Langston
M. Williams, 81.
The three were charged with

ander, Mr.. Titus girl friend, by
which Mr.. Titus allegedly hoped
to end his association with her
