Guiomar Novaes' performance
in Constitution Hall yesterday
afternoon was delicious pianisln
Her pianisSimos were mere whis-
pers but they surrounded the
listeners, and her legato passages
made Us forget that the piano is
persuasive. The Bach Organ
Prelude, a transcription for the
piano, seemed to retain the
glorious buzz!na effect associated
with many of Bach S fast pas
sages as performed on an organ
in great cathedral.
Although calling for harpsi-
chord registration, the Couperin
as effected by Miss NovaeS had
the tonal balance of the double
keyboard so much enjoyed. Da-
quin was d pupil of d contem-
porary of Bach, he is best known
for his one famous rondeau LIE
Coucou. His L'Hirondelle is a
lesser known piece than LIE
Coucou. but it is a good compost
ton that should be heard more
often. Miss Novaes played it
like quicksilver.
The Mozart Rondo sounded a
prelude to Chopin; it's natural
harmonic f1uctuation is rot un-
like the pianistic poetry of that
composer and this facet was en-
hanced by the performer The
Beethoven. quite different from
the usual Interpretation, was re-
fined, intimate and full of emo
ton.
The powerful masculinity of
the composer was not evident
but his free spirit was everpres-
ent. The piano was not COM
manded to sound; it was coaxed
by a more subtle power, no less
effective.
The artist was completely at
home with Chopin, the I'm
promptu in F sharp appeared
effortless and simple. The Ma
zurkas became dances for
thiStledoWn-the cavaliers boots
checked outside. Her Schuman
was brilliant. still feminine and
intriguing enough to make us
forget the program for the piece.
Only the encoreS were some
thing less than 100 years old; she
played Ragdoll and Pulcinello by
Vllla-Lobos sandwiching in a
Chopin for retrospect. The FEM
mime Interpretation came
through so persistently that we
were in rapport with the pianist
with the same kind of feeling
one should have reading the
diary of a refined lady or eyes,
dropping on Juliet.

Moving over to the interna-
tional field, President Truman
expressed satisfaction with the
contribution made by labor in
the field of international rela-
tionS.
"The contribution of the un-
ions is considerable. constructive
and very helpful" he said. Such
activities are essential for greater
understanding between people of
this and other countries. I am
sure they are here to stay"
AS the interview ended. Presi-
dent Truman smiled and said:
We'll. that just about tells the
story. I've got just one thing to
add, and that's this: If I had
known there was so much trou-
BILE in winding up things here at

the Federal Reserve System, and
Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo brought intense pressure
on Wilson to appoint three
bankers to the central Federal
Reserve from a list prepared by
the bankers themselves.
Again and again. President
Wilson said No" Finally, re-
called President Truman, they
came into the White House and
repeated their claims. When
they ended their arguments,
Wilson turned to the bankers and
asked:
will one of you gentlemen
tell me in what civilized country
of the earth there are important
boards of control on which pri-
vate interests are represented?
/ Which of you thinks the rail-
roads should select the members
OF the Interstate Commerce
NOIIlII!ISSlOI:
Mr.. Truman repeated that he
never chose any Cabinet officer
for his "Segmental" character
istics, but because he could do
the job. Of course. he added,
John Snyder was a banker before
he became Secretary of the
Treasury, but he had done lots
of other things that removed
him from the strictly banker"
category.
NLRB Top Achievement.
Ranging widely in the field
of labor-management relations,
President Truman said he be-
lieves that the establishment of
the National Labor Relations
Board under the Wagner Act
was the outstanding contribu-
ton. in the labor field, of the
Democratic Administrations of
the past 20 years. Under the
NLRB. he said, things were ar
ranged so that neither labor nor
management could dictate to
the country that labor r-manage-
ment relations would be con-
Quoted for the selfish interests
of any group instead of for the
welfare of the whole country"
when the welfare of the
country is at stake" President
Truman said, drastic measures
should be applied. no matter who
is hurt. Two things are sure.
Management can't browbeat
labor and make labor accept such
treatment. The other is that
labor must not be strong enough
to browbeat management and
make the public suffer on that
account"
That was certainly the case in
the two coal strikes, he recalled.
which resulted in the f1ning of
John L Lewis and the United
Mine Workers. Then. he said.
there was the time when some
Of the railroad unions, back in
1916. tried to "browbeat" the
country before the soldiers were
demobilized.
But. then. on the other side
Of the fence" the President
pointed out. there We're the last
two steel strikes, when manage
ment tried to make labor accept
unfair contracts. I wouldn't let
them do it through any act of
mine.
Labor knows all that. Labor
has been fairly treated by nc.

that nobody can deliver the labor
vote with block and tackle.
Anybody who says he can
doesn't know the American peo-
pie" he declared. I'm glad the
leaders can't deliver the vote"
But it's not just labor, the
President said Farmers are the
same way. They vote in unpre-
dictable ways, they're a can
tankerouS lot, are the farmers,
the President said. They're ready
to vote against the Government
even if it means voting against
their own interests sometimes.
President Truman was equally
clear in defining his own atti-
tudes in making his cabinet ap-
pointments over the past eight
years.
This was in reply to the ques-
ton: What do you think of the
appointment of a labor union
official to the cabinet?" The
President refused to comment
directly on the selection of Mar
tin Durkin, president of the AFL
Plumbers Union, by President
elect Eisenhower to be Secretary
of Labor. He said unfortunately
he was not acquainted with Mr..
Durkin but he heard he was a
very fine man, indeed. Mr.. Tru-
man said a President has a right
to choose anybody he wants to
for his cabinet and that it's not
for him. President Truman, to
comment on Gen. Eisenhower
selections.
Hits Labor appointment.
But he was very precise in
spelling out his position as to
whether labor or business should
be represented as such in his
cabinet:
Il have never thought that the
President is supposed to, or in
fact, should represent any par
tlcular segment of the popula-
ton. The President represents
157 million people. It's for them
all of them-that the Govern
ment is run.
You can go down the list.
Labor. as such, ought not to be
represented in the cabinet. The
American Medical Association
should not be. Neither should
the Chamber Of Commerce and
the National Association of
Manufacturers.
What I've always looked out
for and tried strenuously to get
into the Government to assist
me are men who are competent.
I'm not for representation of
single segment. When you get
segmental representation, you
get special privilege represented
in the Executive Branch of the
Government, and that's not what
the Constitution calls for.
But I'm not telling anybody
else how to run the presidency"
he added quickly.
Recalls Wilson Incident.
Dipping back into the history
of the administration of Wood
row Wilson, which began 40
years ago. President Truman re-
called how President Wilson
faced up to this problem when
it came to choosing members for
the Federal Reserve Board. At
that time, the late Senator Car
ter Glass of Virginia, father of

it was coming to them, and they
told me So"
aft-Hartley Reviewed.
Very earnestly, he lifted a
warning finger against those who
are always trying to put labor
in its place." Now, he said. the
Taft-Hartley law was deter
mined effort to do just that. If
some OF these people" had had
their way. they would have taken
labor and the rest of the coun-
try back to the yellow dog con-
tract and the unrestricted use of
the Injunction against labor
unions
"Some people tried to get me
to use the injunction when it
wasn't necessary" he said. Il
wouldn't do it.
II simply found enough leeway
with which to administer the
Taft-Hartley Act in sensible
way"
The President said there is no
doubt that the Taft-Hartley law
could have hobbled unions in a
big way. if it had been adminis-
tered in the past five years under
a President with a different phi
loSophy.
Remember" he said, "you can
have a good law. but a bad ad-
ministrator could make it work
badly: the results are poor. On
the other hand, you can have a
poor law and a good administra-
tor. and things can turn out all
right" The President smiled,
and said: "At this point. I guess
I might be accused of Dragging"
He believes the Taft-Hartley
law was meant to be the first
stage of even more drastic anti
labor legislation. He hopes he
has stopped that drive. AS evi-
dence. he cited former Repre-
sentative Fred Hartley's book, in
which the co-author of the
Taft-Hartley Act wrote that
he considered the legislation a
model leading to the COM
plete elimination of the Govern
ment labor relations agencies"
II am we'll aware Of the po-
litical difficulties of eliminating
the New Deal social legislation"
Mr. Hartley was quoted by the
President. TT cannot be done at
a single stroke" That's what
the "Taft-Harteys" had in mind,
the President said" eliminating
necessary social legislation"
Sees Improved Relations.
What about the future of
labor-management relations?"
The President believes they
"are definitely on the mend,
and they can be improved con-
tlnually II people don't inter-
fere with the wrong kind of
legislation"
"Just think" the President
said, ''how much better things
have gotten to be by recalling
the terrible Homestead steel
strike. the Pullman strike of the
'90s and the Colorado Fuel g.
Iron strike and the Tennessee
Coal & Iron and the sitdown
strikes of the middle '30s. just
see how labor and management
have improved their attitudes.
Now compare all that with the
recent developments in the auto,
coal and steel industries-no vio-
lence at all, even when there

Enrolment And Attendance

on tne specified dates. Compliance
with these requests will aid in
getting the pupils placed more

In stressing the importance of

out that last year the high school
division lost one teacher due to a
lack of three pupils in average
daily attendance. This teacher can

pupils will enroll promptly and
attend during these first days. He
