A poets eye and a poets con-
temptation must direct the un-

the oceans vagaries. Conductor
and men were as one in their
intention to capture the Elusive
qualities of the score that add
UP to such grandeur and imagi-

other orchestral sections played
their prismatic part in this saga

to its climatic controversy with
the wind.
Many transcriptions for or
chestra have been made of
Bach's "PassacagHa and Fugue

Ormandy, played as opening
number last night, has a quality
that has escaped the other ar
rangers. He has given it a sheen
and a soaring beauty that out
lines with light the grand plan
of the work. All the virtuosity
of this fine orchestra is called
into play in the fashioning of it's
pattern through numerous effects
and with a choice of color range
perhaps unknown to the COM

News Of Music
By Alice Eyersmon

The sumptuous tone of the
Philadelphia Orchestra held its
first night audience entranced
through the opening perform
ance of the series in Constitu-
ton Hall last night. It would
seem that Eugene Ormandy had
in mind to display the full vir-
tuosity of his group in the pro-
gram chosen and his own special
divinatory gift as conductor. At
any rate, the selections were
familiar, with the exception of
Hindemith's Concert Music for
String Orchestra and Brass In
struments, op. 50," and the more
welcome for the manner in which
they were played.
The fact that Hindemith
functioned professionally both
as violinist and violist, and that
he had active war service as
band director comes to mind
when listening to the Concert
Music" where the opposite ends
of the orchestral body are so
happily joined. How much he
thought of the band was given
demonstration locally when he
wrote his Symphony in B fiat"
for the United States Army
Band and personally conducted
it in. the Departmental Audi
torium in 1851.
The composer therefore knew
definitely what he was about in
writing Concert Music I" It's
tempo and rhythm are martial.
The principal themes are given
the brass in a noble, straight
forward line. Around them play
the strings but with an interest
irg and arresting tonal quality
conforming as closely as pos
sible to that of the brass ensem-
BILE.
Even in the short measures
where the strings take up the
theme, no abrupt change Of
color is heard. The composers
intentions run as a firm thread
throughout, elaborated upon and
frequently softened in tonality
with sure craftsmanship. The
Hindemith idiom forms the basis
of Concert Music" and its mu-
sical genuineness warrants fire.
quent hearings.
The equal facility of orchestra
and conductor in interpretive
finesse was demonstrated in the

are customarily prescribed. Blood
tests of the patients showed
greater absorption of tetracycline

The major advantage, doctors

The Protection of Standards

One of the powers assigned to Congress by
the Constitution is ito fix the standard of
weights and measures" The instrument for the
execution of this power is the Bureau of Stand
ards. 1t was established year before the De-
partment of Commerce. When that department
was set up in 1902, the Bureau of Standards was
placed under its wing.
A part of the law creating the Bureau of
Standards provides for Committee of Visitors
It Is composed OF five eminent men in science.
Once year it reports to the Secretary of Com
merce upon the standards of work and equip
ment at the bureau. One highly important pur-
pose in setting up this committee was to create
a sort Of buffer between the scientific work Of
the bureau and political administrators. A
serious question raised by the enforced resig
nation of DR.. Allen v. Astin, director Of the
bureau, is why this committee was ignored by
the Secretary of Commerce in his decision to
replace the director.
There is nothing in the law requiring
that members of this board must be consulted
They have no administrative responsibility. Yet
such consultation is in the spirit of the law, and
should have been arranged as a matter of
course. Certainly the Committee of Visitors is
concerned with the scientific integrity of the
Bureau of Standards. The manner chosen to
get rid of DR.. AStin, and inSinuationS as to the
reasons therefor, do raise question of integrity
rejecting not only on DR.. Astin and the Bureau
OF Standards but upon the Committee of Visitors

Miss Mary B. Adams

of three men--there originally were fve-whose
purchase of The Star in 1867 placed its owner
ship In the hands Of their descendants The
link she represented with the past, and her
own sweetness of personality, gave her an
honored position among all Of those who hold
proprietary interest in The Star Following
a custom of many years standing, she attended
the annual stockholders meeting earlier this
week, in good spirits and, as usual, deeply in
terested in the affairs of the company. This
fact has added to the shock of her death yes
terday.
An intelligent and widely Travelled woman,
her chief interest, especially during the later
years of her life, was in good works. The field
of her benefactionS was broad, covering many
semipublic causes as well as her own private
undertakings carefully shielded, by her own
wishes, from publicity or even discussion. Those
who knew her feel her loss deeply, while taking
comfort in the fact that death found her
already asleep, and took her as quietly and as
gently as she had lived.

The Senate, as usual, has done its part in
the annual move to authorize daylight saving

without objection, bill to permit the Com
missioners to invoke the system here~each

have his group reconsider its recent 9-7 vote
against daylight time for Washington. It

has indicated that he would vote for the bill
If given second chance. He opposed it in
the original tally. Unfortunately, the COM
mittee will not take up the Senate bill until
after the Easter recess, which ends April
13. There will then remain only 13 more days
for House action before April 26, when daylight
time is scheduled to begin. The deadline is too

Presidential Adviser

The few Republican members Of
Congress and others who have lived
observantly in Washington for more
than 80 years will recall the unhappy
days of the Hoover administration. A
number of factors were involved, some
originating in world conditions outside
the United States, others the products
of avoidance and inaction by preceding
administrations; some factors delib-
erately planned along unfriendly par
tisan lines, others attributable to the
President himself. Among these latter,
the political maturity, or iInmaturity-
as ones viewpoint may vary-of Mr..
Hoover himself was dominant factor.
In this latter record there should be
lesson in presidential department for
the present incumbent of the White
House.
Helbert Hoover exhibited the classic
anomaly of one holding the highest po-
litical Office while entertaining a dislike
approaching contempt for most of the
arts and works of practical politics.
This condition first caused tension be-
tween the White House and Congress.
Then followed detection in the Senate
and House which eventually approached
rebellion. Gradually misunderstanding
and disapproval reached out to party
workers and finally it extended to the
very grass roots of Republicanism.
