Migration 10 States Cuts
Puerto Rico's Population
BY the Associated Press


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb,
12.-The, Puerto Rican labor Of
fice issued preliminary esti-
mate yesterday that this islands
population decreased in 1858. due
to migration to the United States
mainland.
The figures showed that 3d.
900 men and women went to the
United States last year. and $780,
900 returned, leaving a net emf
grafton of $4,000. Net emigration
increased from $4,000 in 1850 to
$4,000 in 1851 and to $4,000 in
1852.
The New York Office Of the
Labor Department reported last
month. however. that in the last
quarter of the year 25.057 more
Puerto RicanS returned to the
island than left it. The Office
attributed the ebb to unemploy-
ment. pointing out that "migra-
ton is known to be heavily de-
pendent on the availability of
jobs in mainland industries and
service trades"

Yesterdays concert by the To-

praiseworthy in intention. New

been a get-together OF amateurs

ranted. Unfortunately, it was
not. This was group Of COM

presented by an honored pro-
fessional organization, and
hence presumably to be judged
by professional standards.
The local chapter does its
worthy cause a distinct dis
service by even implying that
such a program is at all repre-
sentative of the American music
being composed today.
There is little one can say
about the music except that
some pieces were prettier than
others. The songs by Dorothy

showed a degree Of technical

Program: Hymn and FuguinH tune,
Psyche" Symphonic Poem. Franck;
Tod und verklarung." Opus "a
Strauss.
Few great conductors have
been longer on the American
scene than Pierre Monteux. It
is hard to recall one other who
has been conductor of so many
of our ranking musical organiza-
tons. Coming to America in
World War I with the Diaghilev
Ballet, he was in turn conductor
of the Metropolitan Opera. the
Boston Symphony. the Ph1la-
delphia Orchestra, the San
Francisco Orchestra and the
NBC Orchestra. Now 70 years
old. he has the bearing of a man
of SIS, the facial expression of a
kindly satyr, and hair in which
no gray is visible.
He conducted the Boston
Symphony last night in Con-
stitution Hall without score,
quietly, and with the assurance
that he would always achieve
the effects he wanted. He always
did; the orchestra sounded Its
best both in the vigorous read
ing of the Beethoven and the
lush cantabiles of the Franck.
The third of Henry Cowell's
nine Hymn and Fuguing
Tunes" the opening number OF
the concert. is a modern rework-
ing for orchestra of type OF
church music of early 18th cen
tury New England-"a relic OF
the polyphonic motets OF the
Elizabethan era, with . imlta-
tive entrances for each voice
part in turn" to quote Leonard
Ellinwood'S new History OF
American Church Music" The
Cowell piece is modal. lively and
tuneful, and the composer, who
was in the audience, received ap-
preciative applause.
The Beethoven fifth symphony
was notable for fast and hard
driven first movement, and an
unusually brilliant finale. Mr.,
MonteuX thinks of the Weighty
phrase with which the symphony
opens as a motto rather than an
integral part of the movement,
as he invariably slowed it down
whenever 1t appeared without
counterpart.
The Psyche" of Franck is cut
from the same bolt of cloth the
composer used for virtually every
thing he wrote. No composer
was ever so overwhelmed by a
few idiosyncracieS. In its per-
Torrance, though, the piece
showed Mr.. Monteux at his best,
a best that is surpassed by
few. The suave and exquisitely
nodded string phrases. and the
blaring harmonies of the brass
choir. were judged and executed
with the skill of a lifetime OF
the Interpretation of Franck.
The poet Gray expresses the
opinion that favorite has nc
friend. Strauss Tod und Verk-
larung" is generally held to be
a great favorite. but strangely
enough one seldom hears of its
admirers. 1t is a curious Is min
utes of soft, slow, thin music
interspersed with patches OF
loud, fast, thick orchestral shout
ing. 1t is marvellous orchestra
ton Of nothing at all, and this
waste of great talent may be
behind a somewhat unkind cor
ruption of its name-not Too

It is a piece put together by

the colony of 5000 rats and

important heredity factors in

At Lankenau, they viewed
the cobalt bomb in its under

were told that a teaSpoOnful
of cobalt previously baked in
