attack, tonal balance and clear
diction. The greatest competition
on the program was offered by the
National Press Club Chorus. un-
der Reinald Werrenrath. and the
Telephone Glee Club. directed by
Robert H. Davidson.
The Press Club Chorus was a
worried group when DR.. Werren-
rath didn't show up at concert
time. Only when violent pound
ing on the back door was found
to be caused by the director. was
it known that his train from Al
bany was an hour and ten min
utes late. All was serene again,
however, for one of the most out
standing and polished perform
ances the Press group has given.
The even. mellow quality of
their tone was displayed with
poignant effect in Down in the

Although the latter is one of

that an admirable showing was

By Alice Eyersmon


Three hundred men raised their
voices In the glorious Amen OF
Sullivan's 1.-THE Lost Chord" as
he closing number of the Glee
club Jamboree in Constitution
Hall last night. To paraphrase
Schumann's remark when he first
heard Chopin's music, Hats of,
gentlemen, magnificent"
This was the second event of
this nature sponsored by the Ma
tional Press Club and it proved
even more successful than the
debut concert in December. 194e,
in the same hall. Seven aSso-
ciated male glee clubs partici-
pated, each presenting group OF
numbers and combining for mass
ed singing at the beginning and
end of the program.
The Jamboree is surely one Of
the finest musical endeavors in
the community and one of the
greatest significance. About half
of the member clubs are COM
posed of men whose chief busi-
ness in life is far from the field
of music.
The other half represents the
university students. men who are
forming their pattern of living,
and wish music to be part of
it. None lead such a hectic exist
ence as do the members of the
Press Club who believe this get
together is a fine and wholesome
thing and are. willing to give of
their time to promote it.
Unselfishness is the basis of
this annual concert and one of
the reasons of it is that 800 men
believe. that music is important
and good and should belong to
everyone. The significance of that
these days is great.
A short address of welcome was
made by Carson F. Lyman. presi-
dent of the National Press Club.
The master of ceremonies was
William E. Coyle who introduced
the clubs. their directors and ac-
companist. and told something of
their history as the groups assem-
bled for the first massed singing.
Bill said they would better Holly
wood. and In place of 100 Men
and q Girl" there would be 800
men and girl, since the opening
group of songs would be directed

Valley" and retained in the
spirited singing of when Johnny
Comes Marching Home" The
skill of Mr.. Davidson's group is
well known and fully illustrated
in the beautiful singing of Met
calfe's Absent" A lovely tenor
voice was heard in a solo bit in
Suesse's "The Night is Young"
Do not accept Webster's defini-
ton Of a Jamboree; "A noisy
carousel or merrymaking." The
real definition is, to be found In
a performance such as last nights
when good fellows get together" +"
Another one is scheduled for next
season.

Seeds Believed $4,000 Years
Old Sprouting in Parks Office

Two Indian lotus seeds believed
to be $4,000 years old, began
sprouting today under the watch
full care of National Capital Parks
horticulturists.
Edward j. Kelly, superintendent
of National Capital Parks, said the
park scientists had been interested
in the two seeds since tests began
February 26.
DR.. Ralph w. CLANCY, Univer-
|sity of California paleontologist
and member of the National Park
Service Advisory Board, gave the
seeds to the parks officials in No.
vember. 1850. They had been
recovered in Manchuria. Basel
on the deposits in which they
were found and the opinion OF
DR.. Seido Endo, famed paleontolo-
gist of Sendai University in Japan,
the probable age of the seeds was
given at $4,000 years.
On February 2f Horace v. Wes-
ter, parks plant pathologist, filed

High Court TO Review
RCA Appeal Against
Color N Decision
Temporary Bon on Stort
Of CHS TeIecosts Upheld
Pending Final Ruling

The Supreme Court today agreed
to hear the color television con-
troversy.
This case involves the Radio
Corp. Of America. which is OBJ
jecting to the Federal Communi-
cations Commissions approval OF
the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
TENS color system which uses a
combination electronic-mechani-
cal process. The RCA color method
is electronic exclusively.
In an official order, the Supreme
Court said:
Probable jurisdiction noted and
case assigned for argument Mon
day, March 26. Motion to dispense
with printing part of the record
granted"
In its order today accepting the
RCA appeal the high tribunal
also let stand a temporary court
order against the starting of CHS
color telecasts while the case is
in litigation.
Telecasts Banned Until April 1.
The order blocked such tele-
casts before April /. 1t was is
sued by special three Judge Fed
eral Court in Chicago last De-
cember %. The special court at
that time. however, upheld by a
2-to-1 vote the Fees approval
OF CHS color method.
RCA appealed directly to the
Supreme Court from the District
Courts decision. RCA charged
FEC abused its discretion and
was arbitrary and capricious" in
approving the CHS system. The
corporation also said approval
was given despite virtually unan-
imous opposition of technical and
engineering experts of the indus
try"
The RCA appeal emphasized
that CHS color isl incompatible
with present TV receivers-that
is, present receivers cannot get
the Columbia signal, even in black
