Troops To Europe: TestifyIne
before a joint session of the Sen.
ate Foreign Relations and ARMED
Services committees, Secretary Of
Defense George e Marshall dis
closed that the Administration
plans to send four additional di
visions of ground troops (about
l00,000) to Europe This would
raise the number of y, S. fighting
men in the European Mediterra-
mean area to 100000, including
$4,000 ground troops.
In making this disclosure See
rotary Marshall said: Il take this
step reluctantly because of the Sc
curity provisions involved--but |
have reached the conclusion that
there is a greater peril to our Sc
curity through weakening the mo
rale of our allies by debate based
on uncertainties than there can
possibly be through the public dis
closure of our planned strength
figures
We do not believe that the dis
closure could affect our security IN

Secretary Marshall was revealing
grave military secret, as he APP
parently would have us believe, He
was only telling the American PEG
pie what the kremlin would read
lily be able to learn for itself. The
question that is vital in military
sense is not SO much the number
of men under arms but in what
strength and key places in a given
area they are concentrated. That

John Powell, the Virginia COM
poser. who is here for rehearsals
of his Symphony in A." to be per-
formed tomorrow night by the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra, might
be called the tune detective of folk
music.
After a rehearsal in Constitution
Hall, under the baton of Howard
Mitchell, conductor, Mr.. Powell
talked bit about his sources, and
the talk abounded with stories of
his discoveries that folk songs of
the recent American past are sung
to the same tunes used in Shakes
peare's plays.
1t also suggested how much goes
into the making of a symphony
especially an intellectual effort like
his. He has composed a symphony

Howard Mitchell with making the
successful performance possible.
Mr.. Mitchell had the score last
summer while vacationing in Ver-
mont, and Mr.. Powell was sending
him recordings of his idea of how
the principal movements should be
played. The recordings were made
as Mr.. Powell played the score
on a piano in his Albemarle

We missed a good story while

house near Laytonsville, now the
property of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee G..

young woman we used to enjoy
listening to tales of the old house
from Mrs. Warfeld. We recall
that it had thirteen rooms, that
Mr.. and Mrs. Warfeld had thir-
teen children-or perhaps the fam
lily numbered thirteen; anyway she
considered thirteen a very lucky
number. Perhaps some of the
family recall this early history. At
least part of the house is said to
be almost two hundred years old.

be interesting to see how that is

We do not care whether it is a
shake or a bow, we still have a
sneaking wish that it was Princess
Margaret we are to meet.
