to whom no other approach to

compelling, but there is no
denying Furtwaengler here.
It's a majestic document. The

Recently Victor enlisted the
talents of the one-named Eng
lishman, Solomon, to record a
disc of three sonatas - the
"Waldstein," No. % and No. 80.
More recently Victor reissued
a batch Of Schnabel perform

Even discounting earlier

should not be done hastily, it
can be seen what this does to
the poor collector (even the
rich one might well be upset..
The choice isn't easy. All
the Schnabel performances to
this ear still are in a class OF
their own, and this is true no
tably of No. 80. But Of course
the sound is far from new, and
for some the "Waldstein" may
be the determinant. If so the
problem is simpler. Solomon is
fluent, but he Is also super
fetal. Serkin's pianism, prob
ing and suspenseful, is superior
to Solomon's in both competi-
tive cases, and it is not out"
weighed by the Solomon bonus
(No. 22). Furthermore, while
the Solomon-HMV engineering
is good enough, Columbia'S is
remarkable. Serkin'S are very
likely the truest LIP piano deci-
bels issued yet.
Strong Competition
Assuming all 80 Schnabel
performances are to be reis-
sued, their magnetism cannot
be denied. But this Serkin
product makes a strong temp
tation.
AS a rule it is hard to go
wrong with either Kempff or
Backhaus, any more than with
Schnabel. The Sonata No. %
appears again on a London
Backhaus disc, played quite
differently from the Solomon
version, and probably more
substantially. The Sonatas
No. 10 and "a on the same
Backhaus disc and the "Ap-
passionate" and No. % on an
other also are convincing. On
another coupling-the ITEM
pest" and No. 3-Backhaus
must bow, however, to the
marvellous control and de-
tailed delineation of Decca's
Kempff.
Backhaus, Clemens Krauss
and the Vienna Philharmonic
provide the first successful
LIP performance of Beet
hoven'S charmingly Mozartian
Second Concerto on a new
London issue. This is a mel
low, ripened traverSal of a
work that some pianists take
too seriously. The sound is
excellent.

somewhat more persuasive; it
is no match for Schnabel.
Only enthusiasm, however,

FBI Check Delays Clearance

Former Waves Chief

The time required to make an
FBI investigation Of Mrs. Mil
dred McAffee Horton has de-
layed her clearance for a post
in the United States delegation
to the United Nations, an official
of the Republican National
Committee says.
Bertha Adkins, assistant
chairman of the committee. said
yesterday that is the reason Mrs.
Horton was not sworn in as dele
gate to the U. N. Social and
Economic Commission in time
to attend its current meeting,
which began May 4.
FBI clearance of all appointees

policy.

Mrs. Horton. former president
of Wellesley College and war
time head of the Waves, made
a speech to the 1949 Wellesley
graduating class in which she
said members of the House Un-
American Activities Committee
feared the students had been
exposed to dangerous ideas" and
continued, "of course, you have.
in this free market place of
IDEAS"
She denounced "Red-baiters
and black-haters."
Mrs. Horton also said the
House committee had asked to
examine the colleges social
science textbooks. She said the
very existence" of the House
committee suggests a wide
spread fear which permeates
our modern age, fear of the
bomb, of Russians, fear of other
groups to which you do not
belong, fear of socialism, COM
munism, capitalism-all kinds
of iSmS."
In her address she quoted Gen.
Eisenhower. then head of Colum-
bia University, as saying:
Ignorance of communism, fas :
cism or any other police state
philosophy is far more dangerous
than ignorance of the most viru-
lent diseases. Who can doubt
the choice of future Americans
between statism and freedom, il
the truth concerning each be
held before their eyes?"
The New York Times said Mrs
Horton, reached by telephone at
Oberlin, Ohio. asserted that the
State Department had told her
only that "the papers from the
field investigation arrived too
late. so there was not time
enough to push it through the
Senate"
She said, according to the
Times, that Miss Adkins had told
