Thomas L. Stokes:

A rather curious psychoSis-
or neurosis-or something such
has manifest itself since Pres
ident Truman bowed out as a
candidate for reelection.
It derives obviously from the
fact that Harry Truman had
become a sort of personal devil
for lots of folks. They could
always blame him for anything
anywhere they didn't like. Now
some are very sore because he
has done them wrong by pull
ing his neck out of the hole in
the curtain.
There is a eve wuZ robbed"
tone now in the complaints
from Truman-haters.. Now that
they have gotten what they
asked for his retirement -
they are lost, confused and
dumfounded. What they hoped
for plainly was to hold him up
and punch him until that mo-
ment when they could go into
the polling booth and vote
against him. Now they are de-
MED that ultimate pleasure.
Meanwhile, they find the edge
taken off their curses because
there's really not much sense
in blasting at him. 1t goes on,
naturally, but without the same
Zest.
Comments and observations,
public, private and in letters.
reveal various forms of this cur
rent psychosis. Some try to hold
up the target by taking the
Presidents remuneration as a
plot for draft" by the con-
vention. which there will not be.
Some who were urging that the
President retire and announce
his retirement well ahead of
time now are blaming him for
doing just that, limiting that he
has let the people down because
his announcement weakens his
control of the Government at a
critical period.
Here they can point to circum-
stantial evidence in the dizzy
series of events following his an
nouncement - the resignation
the following day of Charles E.
Wilson as Mobilization Director,
the anti-corruption blow-up with
ousting Of both Attorney Gen.
eral Howard McGrath and New
bold Morris, special investigator,
and the rash of strikes. All of
these events, however. as we now
know, were in the making well
ahead of the announcement

It isn't because of economy.
1t isn't an edict from the Presi-

Mr.. Mitropoulos, who has the
most active shoulders of any con-
ductor, gained his effects in
Beethoven's Symphony No. 8
F. major, Op. 93," mostly by their
use and by descriptive gestures
The tempo was maintained about
the same through the four move
ments, so there was no trouble on
that score, nor was there for the
fine nuances he developed at in
+tervals. It all moved very fast
without differentiation for mood
and without time for the many in
triguing instances of Beethoven
fantasy to be appreciated. Nor
was there effort given to stressing
the delicacy that highlights the
symphony at moments in the en-
phasis placed on it's more vigorous
characteristics. The orchestra s
performance was most skillful and
notable throughout for its exact
ness and musicality.
The conductor has his indi-
vidualistic approach to these
giants among composers but il
Cannot be said that more is added
to the understanding or the en-
joyment thereby. He was much
more thoughtful in his reading OF
Shostakovich's Symphony No. S

inject some depth. The concert
was the second of the Ameri-
can University Concerts Evening

News of Music
By Alice Eversmon

The New York Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra, making
what has become an annual ap-
pearance in Constitution Hall,
played with consistent vitality
and exuberance throughout the
concert last night. The program
gave the musicians plenty of op-
portunity in this direction and
the conductor, Dimitri Nitro
poulos, is not one to seek calm
ness deliberately.
All told, there was a great dis
play of power and. more reward
ingly. of the virtuosity of the
group. The precision of these
musicians and their obliviousness
to difficulties, either technical or
musical, is one of the outstanding
features of their performances.
With all the polish, the orches-
trail tone held real beauty and
suavity only at intervals, although
always clear and accurate. But
it has a quality of excitement
ranging through all the voices,
particularly prominent last night
in the fine playing of the wood
wind and brass. These were called
upon for special services in Nitro
poulos' transcription of Bach's
Fantasia and Fugue, G Minor" !"
with which the program opened.
With their use, the conductor
gave new color to several parts
of Bach's great work, enlarging
its horizons by fresh concept of
sound.
It was difficult to discover,
however. the fundamental Bach
quality in the brilliant orchestral
arrangement where everything in
the dramatic Fantasia" and in
the powerful "Fugue" was ampli-
fled in stormy fashion. The first
to transfer the Fantasia" to the
larger medium of the orchestra,
Mr.. Mitropoulos has made a
tremendous show piece out of the
entire work, which by it's very
strength and opulence is over
powering. At the same time, the
noble dignity of Bach, always
present in his most dramatic ef-
fectS. was not underscored, its
place being taken by a theatrical
bigness and volume of sound
never imagined by the composer

Into new world bounced poor boy
Whose sire knew hardships when he came
Wide spaces, forests, did he enjoy,
Unschooled in youth he grew to fame.
In those days of yore, "Honest,Abe"
Craved to learn the ways Of man,
Unselfsh in creed, not to degrade,
Broadminded in scope like the deserts sand
Aglow with pride, plodding on,
Not to waste moments of precious time,
Hope for America, where he was born,
Keeping pace each passing cline.
From rude cabin Of Kentucky home
Abe trod those rutted roads;
Found them rough, unplowed to roam
Mushes mud and mire by the loads.
In hours of rest, read books of lore
Self taught by God above
While a mother mere ceased to adore
While she lived, in unwavering love.
Abe wandered from wastes of the unknown
Into caldron where bondage boiled
Seed, since jamestown, recklessly sown
Whence humanity groaned and toiled.
Freeman and Liberty his humble aim,
Not to make man pawn Of fate,
Hold I'm heads answer name
Undaunted by the CRIME of hate.
Thus, he came upon the scene
To battle a cause of injustice and right,
Compromise, not to come between,
Debated in forums day and night.

Whose fearless doctrine set men free,
