News of Music

It is only rarely that
Washington, daily prominent
In the world press, comes into
the national news with a
musical item. This is a sad
state of affairs for the leading
city of the country and gives
proof that originality in muSi-
cal matters is not its strong
point. In spite of the scope
of local concerts and the
quality of the programs and
artists heard here, it remains
for the only large musical
club of the community to gain
recognition over the country
The cause of this special
publicity is the contest being
sponsored by the Friday
Morning Music Club Founda-
ton for the Bonita Grove
$1,000 Scholarship for Piano.
offered to pianiSts Of talent
over the country, it has at
tracted attention among pro-
fesSional artists, teachers and
students. This is the third
national contest the founda-
ton has sponsored since its
organization some five years
ago. The club itself was
founded in 1885 to promote
musical culture among it's
members and in the commu-
nifty" The foundation, formed
in 1949, expanded the clubs
objective to the younger gen.
Grafton Ito promote and pro-
vide musical education for
the especially gifted and/or
needy students"
Schedule Is Set
The national additions for
the Bonita Grove Scholar
ship will be held Thursday
from 9 until 5 pm. and Fri
day from 9 to II am. in the
Cosmos Club where the club
holds its weekly programs.
Contestants will have hear
ings before the boards of the
foundation and of the Friday
Morning Music Club. Twenty
six of the SO applicants for
the additions will perform at
that time. The selection of
the 26 was made after careful
screening of the applications
which must bear the indorSe-
ment of two sponsors who are
not related to the student. No
teacher may sponsor his own
pupil.
Six finalists will be heard
by the national judges on Fri
day at 1870 pm. in the Co.'S
mos Club. Special invitations
have been sent out by the
foundation to interested peo-
pie, the preliminary additions
having been for club members
only. The national judges will
be Eugene List, concert pianist;
DR.. Rudolf CAM, president of
the Chicago College of Music,
and Mary Howe. nationally
known composer-pianist. In
the choice of judges, the foun-
dation has sought persons con-
nected with various divisions
of the pianistic field.
Besides keeping the contest
national in scope, the foun-
dation prohibits any one from
applying who has won a major
prize or scholarship during the

To Ranch in Mexico
BY The Associated Press

DALLAS. Tex, May 30.-The
hush-hush atmosphere of the
mystery trip of Senator McCar-
thy. Republican, of Wisconsin
deepened today as he jumped
into a private plane and headed
for Mexico.
Several muscular aides, who
carefully kept reporters from in
terviewing distance, intimated
Senator Mccarthy came to Dali
las on routine" business as head
of the Senate Investigations
Subcommittee.
His wealthy oil men hosts here
called it a pleasure jaunt."
Senator Mccarthy scowled and
said nothing.
With the Senator during a
cat-and-mouse chase through
the Dallas airport were John
Murchison and Clint Murchison,
jr., sons of Clint Murchison,
Dallas oil millionaire.
The Murchison brothers said
the Murchisons' private plane,
a DC-3 luxury ship, was flying
Senator Mccarthy and party to
the Murchisons' Acuna Ranch

Western Maryland
Rail Run Dropped
By the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, May 30.
Passenger service on the West
ern Maryland Railway between
Cumberland and Hagerstown
came to an end today.
And the passengers who were
almost non-existent in the past
few years turned out in large
numbers to take the last ride or
buy souvenir tickets.
Harry Hartman, division agent
at Hagerstown, said the station
looked like old times-we even
had waiting lines for tickets"
Mr.. Hartman said the last
west-bound train from Hagers-
town to Cumberland carried lis
passengers and the last east
bound run about $50. Many
others, he said, purchased tickets
but did not use them.
The average number of riders
recently, Mr.. Hartman said. has
been about two or three on each
train.
Western Maryland also will
make its last Sunday-only run
tomorrow between Hagerstown
and Baltimore and eliminate a
commuter train which arrives in
Baltimore from Union Bridge in
the morning and returns in the
evening.
The railroad said it wanted to
concentrate on fast movement of
freight across the western part
of the State.

LANCASTER, Pa, May 30
One of the weirdest accidents In
railroad annals turned up here
today. You wouldn't believe it
if you saw it.
The last car of a local freight
moving down Water street
jumped the tracks. 1t mashed II
parked automobiles, damaged
houses, fire escapes and parking
meters in a three-block spree.
Then the car hoped back on the
tracks.
Crewmen on the train didn't
known anything about it until
later.
They found out when they
brought the train to a stop after
encountering a citizen who had
fallen asleep on the tracks in the
middle Of the street. He was
pushed aside by the slow-chug-
ging locomotive. He suffered
brush burns and bruises.
Block by Block Report.
The sequence of events was re-
constructed today by city police
and Sergt. j. r. FrantZ of the
Pennsylvania Railroad police:
The 13-car train was making
local deliveries to plants and
stores within six blocks of Penn
Square, heart of this city Of co.
600. The freight was moving
slowly on tracks that run down
the center of Water street. It
was 12::45 am.
The last car left the tracks at
a switch. Crewmen on the engine
and in the caboose Immediately
behind the engine didn't notice
anything unusual.

Czechs Cut Prices
By37%, Wages SO%
BY the Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria, May 30
Czechoslovakia's Red bosses to-
day announced a currency re-
form which will reduce prices up
to 81 per cent and slash wages
about 80 per cent.
It goes into effect Monday
when the satellites already dis
satisfied workers return to work
after the week end.
Prague radio today broadcast
an official announcement which
said the currency reform was
submitted to the Czech Com
munist parliament in Pargue to-
day by Premier Vilem Siroky and
unanimously approved.
The broadcast, heard in
Vienna, quoted Siroky as saying
the reform was made ION the
basis of the experience of the
Soviet currency reform Of 1947."
At the same time, the an
nouncement said, the present
foreign exchange rate Of IL
Czech crowns to one Soviet ruble
would be changed to $50 crowns
to the ruble. The ruble is fixed
by the Russians at Is cents, but
that is strictly an artificial rate
since the ruble is not traded on
any free market. The Czech
crown has been quoted at two
cents United States.
News of an impending cur
rency reform in Czechoslovakia
following Poland's recent reform
and the one in Romania last
year, apparently had leaked out
in Czechoslovakia last week and
resulted in a buying panic in
Moravia.

Car Jumps off and On Track,
Smashing 3 Blocks Meanwhile

, But back at the other end
things were happening. The
freight Car careened crafty to
the side, lashing at autos parked
along the curb. Some were
crushed almost fat. One total
wreck was a brand-new sedan
with SO miles on the Speedometer.
The MASKING went on for three
blocks. until the freight car was
dragged back on the tracks.
Residents were running from
their homes at the clatter. In
coming telephone lines on the
police switchboard lighted up
like a Christmas tree. Radio
cars were sent to intercept the
train.
Citizen Reclines on Track.

streets, 80 = year old Melvin
Schlossman, a resident of the
section known locally as Shan
tytown," was lying on the street
between the rails.
He didn't hear the engine APP
proach. The engineer didn't see
him until too late to stop. A
bumper on the engine front
struck Schlossman and pushed
and rolled him off the track,
The train ground to a halt.
That's where the police caught
up. Amazed crewmen looked
back along the street at the trail
of devastation, and the folks
swarming from their homes.
Sergt. Frantz said damage
would total many thousands of
dollars. He added his inveStiga-

switch which derailed the freight
