Britain 70 Propose
Talks With Egypt
On Envoy's Recall
BY the A,soeioted Pres.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Britain will
propose to Egypt that the two ma

British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden is expected to suggest that
the two governments begin nego-

for a new treaty tied in with the
British -Arnerican-French Turkish
Middle East defense plans.
Situation Not Hopeless.
There were some indications
II that the situation was not hope
less in the bitter and often bloody
British Egyptian dispute. The
French-language Cairo paper
Journal D'Egypte. which often re-
fleets palace opinion, said the re-
call of the Egyptian envoy does
not mean a full break in diplo-
matte relations. It said relations
between the two countries will be
maintained even If the British
should recall their Ambassador.
Sir Ralph Stevenson, from Cairo.
| The Journal limited that there
were hopes for settling the dam
gerous dispute. A meeting be-
tween Mr.. Eden and Egyptian For
eign Minister Salah El Din in
Paris next week would help clear
the atmosphere and possibly lead
to negotiations. 1t added.

showed the soundness Of his
training and the sensitive quality
of his talent. His singing tone
was particularly notable for purity
and richness in cantilena. Mr..
Feldin's temperament is more re-
Elective than expansive and this
took some of the verve out of
bravura passages although, tech
|nically, these were always clean
and smooth. Since the tendency
these last years is toward display
Of brilliance, it was a pleasure
to hear a cellist still guided by
higher ideals.
The Frescobaldi- Cascade "Toc-
cato" provided an impressive in
where the artist demon
strated a full-bodied tone in the
introduction and well defined dy-
namics in his deft handling Of
the rapid passages.
That Mr.. Feldin has a sympa-
thetic feeling for the classics was
evidenced in the opening numbers,
which contained what is purported
to be the first performance in the
United States of Johann Christian
Bach's Concerto" It is lovely
work, well designed for the cello
III not of great depth. There is,
however, an elegance Of construc-
ton about it and a gracious use
Of melody in both the Allegros
and the Adagio. It was when these
melodies were slow moving and
Songful that the beauty Of Mr..
Feldin's tone was captivating.
The formation of a smooth line,
as again illustrated in the Haydn
Piatogorsky ''Divertimento," is the
artists speciality and in this form
he attained many notable effects
in shading. In the quick move
ments of both the Bach concerto
and the ''Divertimento" the pas

rapidity and clarity, was devoid of
either sparkle or fire.

stuecke" requiring a finer give and
take to bring out the significance
of the selections. The arrange
ment Mr.. Feldin has made of
Chopin's "Polonaise Brillante, op.
8" does little to improve the
quality of the work. It also needed
a more dashing delivery on the
part of both cellist and pianist to
underscore its best points.
