Sacred and miscellaneous pro-

study in comparison yesterday. OF
these, the performance of Brahms
alto Rhapsody" and of the RE
QUEEN" by the combined choirs Of
st. Johns Church, and the sing
ing of the Mckinley High School
choruses were artistically the more
satisfying.
A large Chamber Orchestra,

Impressive Piece.
Under the able direction Of Mr..
Steele, the technical and inter-
pretative difficulties Of the 'Rhap-
sody" and of the Requiem" were
never apparent. Ranking with the
composers four symphonies In the
affections of Brahms enthusiasts.
the Requiem" is an impressive
piece Of work set to various texts
chosen from the German Bible.
The choirs showed thorough
familiarity with the music and
made it vivid.
The Mckinley High School
ChoruSeS made an excellent show
ing in a program given in the Ma
tional Gallery of Art last night. It
was designed for mixed voices, for
a boys and girls chorus. The
various groups were directed by
Katharine Fowler and Reba Will,
both of whom brought many lovely
effects into the performance. Niles
II Wonder as I Wander" sung by
the girls, was among the out
standing selections in this respect.
The vibrant quality of their fresh
young voices matched the vigor of
the older boys and girls, all Of
whom showed enthusiasm, disci-
pline and accomplishment in the
finer points Of artistic endeavor.
Young Symphonists Do Well.
The Junior National Symphony
Orchestra gave its second annual
concert in Constitution Hall in
the afternoon. directed by Howard
Mitchell. Functioning only once a
year with a few weeks prepara-
ton and a changing personnel,
the young symphonists displayed
the same eagerness and interest
as they did at their first perform
ance.
Considering many drawbacks
and handicaps they did well, es-
pecially in the Handkerchief
prelude and Fugue in D Minor"
More within the scope of their
ability than the two movements
from Hanson's Symphony No.
o.. the young people showed re-
suits of good honest work in the
accuracy of entries and in the
short cadenza for the violins. A
large audience encouraged them
with enthusiastic applause.
Technically well-equipped and
equal to the demands of the
sonatas they presented. Bjoern
Andreasson, violinist, and Piero
Weiss. pianist, made their local
debut in the Phillips Gallery at
5 pm.
Although the performance Of
Mozart's Sonata in G Major, K
301" was wanting in sophistication
liz fared better than that Of
Beethoven's "Kreutzer", which
lacked the mellowness usually as
sociated with it. MIR. Weiss drove
hard. The violin part would have
gained by greater refinement and
more insight. The introduction
and the theme of the second
movement needed repose, the
variations more grace.

People are talking about "the
new Mrs. Truman. !" Never before
during her husbands tenure Of
the presidency has Mrs. Truman
appeared so gay, relaxed and
happy as she has during her re-
cent public appearances. The
obvious deduction to make is
that she, at least, thinks the
President Is not going to run
again. Bess Truman longs for
personal life. She reiterated
again this week her wish to be-
come a private citizen as soon
as possible. That she has reason
to think that the White House
won't be her address in 1853 may
explain her new joyful look.

ably because she has tried hard
