its worst. It takes q real musi-
clan to recreate its impulsiveness,
its irnpetuousness and It's under
lying deep sincerity.
Mr.. Galloway has amply dem
onstrated before that he is just
such q real musician. Rarely,
however, was his quite extraordi-
nary genius in the handling Of
large musical groups so mani
festly plain as 1t was throughout
yesterdays Requiem.
Under his dynamic leadership,
the Washington and Cathedral
Choral Societies have been
welded into a top-notch organi-
zation, which can easily stand
comparison with the best that
any American city can offer. At
its best-as 1t was, for example,
in the exquisitely nodded OPEN
ing Tntroit Of the Reuuiem-it is
just about incompatible.
The utter perfection Of the
soloists was something one
dreams about but almost never
actually hears. # Kenneth
Smith and Leslie Chabay were
superb band no less enthusiastic
term does them justice--Adele
Addison and Eunice Alberts were
better. These two young women
are gifted with deep musician
ship and altogether magnifi-
cent perfectly matched voices,
rich, pure and true. Their
magical "Recordare. Iesu pie"
and "Agnus Del" duets were
vocal achievements few who
heard will soon forget.
AS he listened to this me-
morable performance Of a work
which had never before par
ticularly moved him, this re-
viewer puzzled over what it was
that made it so profoundly NOV
ing this time. Orchestra and
chorus merely followed the con-
ductor's lead expertly; the solo,
lists merely sang with skill and
understanding. Yet, the miracle
was there.
The answer? Bulow was prob
ably right the second time. but
a Paul Galloway Is needed to
prove it.

Washineton Cathedral Program: Re-
QUEEN Mass. Verdi.
Some 80 years ago, after the
great German music critic Bu-
low had heard Verdi's MAN
zoni Requiem" for the first time,
he dipped his pen in acid and
wrote that the piece was q mon-
strosity. History does not give
us the lowdown on what
prompted the handsome apology
he made to the composer Some
years later, candidly admitting
that the mass was indubitably
a masterpiece and that he was
in error. but this reviewer would
be willing to bet that it must
have been a miraculous per-
formance, something like that
heard last night at the WASH
ington Cathedral, that caused
him to change his mind.
For, not to mince words about
it, Paul Callaway's inspired
reading of Bulow's "monstrosity''
was something to send the
harassed music critic on on q
futile scramble through his the
saurus in search Of fresh super
latives.
The Requiem came about In
a curious fashion. Shortly after
Rossini's death, Verdi suggested
that his memory should be hon.
ored with a requiem mass to
which each of Italy's Is most
prominent composers was to
contribute a single movement.
When the assorted pieces. by
Buzzola, Bazzini. Pedrotti, Gag
noni, Ricci. Mini and half a
dozen other local celebrities
were put together. the project
was dropped like a hot potato.
To Verdi fell the task Of writ
ing the "Libera me" section. 1t
was the nagging presence Of this
lonely single movement among
his manuscripts which gave him
the idea, upon the death Of his
friend the poet Manzoni some
years later, Of completing alone
a requiem to his memory.
From the moment it was first
performed, the "Manzoni Re.
| QUEEN" aroused controversy and
a good deal of hostile criticism
AS a matter of fact, 1t still does

Confessed Slayer
|0f Five Convicted
by New York Jury
sy The Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.--John
Francis Roche. ~, confessed
killer Of five persons, has been
found guilty Of f1rst-degree mur-
der-a verdict that grants him
his wish to die.
An all-male jury convicted
Roche late yesterday without
recommending mercy, thereby
making death sentence manda-
tory. However, an appeal to the
States highest court is required
before the sentence can be car
ried out.
Roche, a plumbers helper. was
convicted of the rape murder of
Dorothy Westwater, a 14-year-
old school girl, last June. Hers
was the last of a series of mur-
ders which police said Roche
confessed.
Court-appointed defense at
torneys got little help from
Roche, who refused to testify in
his own behalf and told his
lawyers he had no desire to live.
General Sessions Judge Jonah
j. Goldstein set November 30 for
sentencing.
In finding Roche guilty, the
jury rejected a defense claim
that he was insane. It deliber-
ated 80 minutes.
Roche was arrested last June
on a minor traffic violation.
Questioned about a length of
stained pipe found in his car,
he confessed Staying the West
water girl as she was leaving for
school three days before. She
was beaten and crirninally at
tackled and died on June with
out regaining consciousness.
Police said Roche also con-
fessed killing Marion Brown, II,
a waitress: Mrs. Rosa Chronik,
85; Alex Jablonka, 43, a taxicab
driver. and Edward Bates, %. a
sailor.
He was indicted for all except
the Bates death, for which an
other man, Paul S. Pfeffer, had
been convicted and sentenced to
prison. Pfeffer was released
after Roche's confession, but was
later reindicted. this time for
manslaughter, in the Bates kill
ing and is awaiting a second
trial.

Gingerbread to the Rescue

dren's BrigadeS In every State.
A few days before the auc-
tiOneer could boom, Sold to
the highest bidder" Miss
Annie and her mother swung
INTO action. The first day,
they rounded up 10 Fred
ericksburg women, collected
81 in cash and several thou
sand dollars in enthusiasm.
Two days later, with Is wom-
en-, they formed q OAR chap
ter for the purpose of. raising
$4,000 to save Kenmore.
While trying to collect
$4,000 for the down payment,
Miss Annie and her mother
each wrote 5000 letters, in
addition to some 1900 per-
SOnal letters written by other
association members. BY trav-
cling thousands of miles,
cooking and serving countless
fried chicken dinners and
persuading hundreds to work
for Kenmore, the Smith
Fleming team was able to
save the mansion and re-
furnish it with many relics of
the Washington family.
To raise more funds for
Kenmore, the Kenmore As
ISOLATION copyrighted and
printed a recipe for ginger
bread served by Mary Wash
ington, mother Of George, to
Gen. Lafayette.
In 1884 a large company
was searching for q prepared
gingerbread mix. The Ken
more recipe was chosen over
400 entries. With Miss Annie
handling the transaction, the
recipe was sold for a nominal
sum, with the proviso that the

and other patriotic organiza-
tons. This agreement has
Melted the association $45, 900,
