Pionist Draws Big Hand
At National Gallery Recital
By Eleno de Soyn

The return of RENO Luoma to
the National Gallery of Art for a
piano recital after a lapse of years,
marked also the return of a new
musical personality.
Already as a youth, the artist
was a prodigiouS virtuoso. How
ever, at this time technique had
become means to an end. A
thoughtful quality illuminated his
playing last night, lending new
beauty to his touch.
Beethoven'S Sonata in E Minor,
op. co." seemed to be especially
congenial. Mr.. Luoma did not
spare himself in his effort to con-
lvey the composers intentions.
l"Feeling and expression" as di-
rected by Beethoven, were met
abundantly. colored by the roman
ticism Of the era. Mr.. Luoma gave
a stern account of the first move
ment and made a song Of the last.
The pianist is a master Of more
styles than one. Such opposites as
Barber. Debussy and Chopin, re-
ceived each his due. Brahms
Variations and Fugue on a Theme
by Handel" served as means to
show his complete command Of
the instrument.
Brahms was said to have COM
posed the variations with a we'll
calculated contrast in form and
feeling. Many or these are sup
posed to suggest woodwind,
strings. and brass instruments,
which the composer had in mind
for color effect. There was Moth
| ing Of that kind present last night,
all Of the variations being more
or less uniform in tempo and
sound, although executed with ut
most brilliance and security.
For beauty Of tone. imagina-
ton and elegance of delivery the
outstanding numbers were "Al-
llegro Motto from Barber's "Ex-
cursions," resembling rackish,

into the space of the Lisner stage.
"A clever innovation was the
placing of a large window in the
cigarette factory in the first act
through which the girls could be
seen at work. There too. began
the fight between Carmen and an
other worker that leads to her
arrest.

phere. The lovely duet between
Jose and Micaela in the first act
was taken at so lively a clip that
its beauty was lost. This hap
pened continuously throughout the
opera as If there was a train to
catch. The singers are to be
commended that they did SO well
without any time to think what
they were doing vocally. OF course,
this fast tempo kept things NOV
ing swiftly and there was a great
deal Of vivacity in the whole per-
formance. Yet there is more than
that to Bizet's Carmen"
Lydia Ibarrondo, in the name
part, put plenty of spirit into the
role. She needs, however. to learn
control of gesture and to gain
the kind Of poise that makes Car
men seductive. The constant
nervous movements she adopts
now do not describe the Carmen
temperament. Nor does her makeup
and hair-do add usually to the
role. But her voice is beautiful,
large and even in the registers,
with natural ease of production.
When its quality has matured and
become richer she should be an
outstanding portrayer of the part
vocally and If the curious huski-
ness that showed occasionally is
overcome.
Lovely Young Voice.
Another lovely young voice was
that of Beverly Sills in the role of
Micaela. It Is possible she could
have given as fine an account of
herself in the duet. were she al
lowed to do so, as she did in the
third act aria when she received
quite an ovation. But where, in
Spain. in 1920, would one have
found a village girl that looked
as she did or who would have
acted with such aplomb? Miss
Sflls was a capable, present-day
American girl, dressed in a cos
tune. Attention to such funda-
mental points would color her
Interpretation considerably.
In this respect, Albert Delhaye,
the experienced tenor from the
Theater de la Monnaie in Brussels,
was more convincing in his por-
trayal Of Don Jose. He sang with
Sonorous quality and acted well.
Russell George. the Escamillo, has
a fine voice and was at ease in his
stage action. The smaller roles
were all taken by good singers and
the same true, fresh timbre made
the singing Of the chorus a pleas
ure to hear. Trini and Manolo|

by their expert dancing in two

NEW ORLEANS. April o.
Two reversals of convictions of
reluctant witnesses who appeared
before the Kefauver Crime Inves-
tigating Committee were handed
down here by the United States
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Joseph Poretto and Carlos
Marcella werefreed yesterday of
contempt of Senate charges on
which they were found guilty in

Drew 6-Month Terms.
Poretto, a former racing news
service operator. and Marcello
both had been given six-months
sentences after they were tried
before Federal Judge ]. Skelly

only reversed the lower courts
decision but also gave verdicts of
acquittal in both cases.
Both men refused to answer
questions when called before the

mittee when it met here in Janu-
ary, 1851.

Referring to Marcello's refusal
to reply to the committees ques-
tioning, the Court of Appeals said
that his position at the hearing
being virtually that Of an accused
upon trial relieves his blanket re-
fusal of the capricious and con-
temptuous implications which it
would otherwise bear"
In Poretto's case, the court held
that he testified under compul-
sion and that he did not waive his
privilege against self incrimina-
tion by allegations verified by him

Liquor Companies t'' May Have Paid To Stop Probe

WASHINGTON, (P) A congressional committee reported yesterday "there is an inference" that political contributions by liquor companies had some con- nection with the ''tapering off" of an antitrust probe of the in- dustry in 1949.
 However, the committee said "the evidence is not conclusive" |" and committee aides declined to tell reporters who drew the infer ence or on what it was based.
 The report, issued by a House judiciary subcommittee that has been Investigating the Justice De- partment, said the political con- tributions were not made by the companies themselves, but by in- dividuals connected with them, and There are indications that the contributions were regarded by the individuals who made them as necessary business expenses"
 The contributions went to both major political parties, and the same individuals frequently gave to both parties in the same year, tte report said
 Of total of between $155,55O and $165,55O contributed during the four years 1948 through 1851. the report said between $112,450 and $120,45O went to the Demo crats, while the Republicans re- ceived between S43,1OO and S45,- 100.

CI in Korea Has
 Outmoded Arms? Untrue, Says Army

WASHINGTON, (P LII The Army described as untrue and extremely destructive criticism" the statement of two former in telligence officers that the CT in Korea is armed with outmoded weapons and that this results in needless death.
 Garrett Underhill, formerly Of the Army's G-2 section, and Ronald Schiller, naval intelligence off cer in World War II, said in a Look Magazine article that sol diers in Korea carry antiquated arms although the Army has a variety of new weapons either in existence or on drawing boards.
 Maj. Gen. Ward H. Maris, Army deputy chief of staff for research and development, said Monday this was 'conjecture" and chal- lenged Underhill and Schiller to show that "any more reliable weapons exist and can now be produced"
 The American soldier, Gen. Maris said, carries the most mod ern arms of any foot soldier in the world.
 The intelligence officers, call ing what they termed the alleged obsolescence of weapons an "un- paralleled national disgrace" said the CT:
 Fires a 1906 cartridge from a rifle first built in 1928; hurls the same type of hand grenade used in World War I; uses machine guns developed between 1917-19, with mechanism patented by John Browning "in the days of Queen Victoria"
 They said the US. has been lucky in Korea because the Chi nese also have old weapons.
