Communists 10 PubIicize
PuIlout From North Korea

TOKYO. Mar. 20 (P.-Com-
munist propagandists in North
Korea and China are publicizing
the withdrawal soon of another
six divisions of Red China troops
from North Korea.
The Peiping radio says all
North Korean newspapers "bade
farewell" yesterday to the troops,
which may number $4,000 men.
The station said Friday they
would be back in China by the
end of April.
At least seven Red Chinese
divisions pulled out earlier, the
Reds said.
The propagandists demand
that all foreign troops-meaning
America-get out of all Korea.
The number of Chinese troops
in Korea is not reported. They
constituted by far the larger part
of the estimated million troops
in the north shortly before the
armiStice.
The continued withdrawal of
Chinese troops may be partly ex-
planned by allied reports that
since the armistice the North
Korean army has been rebuilt
until it is larger and better
equipped than at the start of
the Korea war in 1850. 1t then
had 100000 men. 1t faces a
South Korean army Of 20 active
divisions with 10 reserve divisions
in formation.

The piano recital given by
Rosalie Sutherland -Sirlin at
Barker Hall yesterday afternoon
was an uneven affair. Mrs.
Sirlin, substituting for another
performer at short notice,
demonstrated an unquestioned
command of the keyboard. Her
playing in the Bach D. major
Toccata was clean and precise;
in the Barber Sonata it was
forceful and sonorous. She also

presence, and has a kind of poise

might envy. Occasional wrong
notes were taken in stride. with
no technical faltering or visible
disturbance. Her program. too,
was we'll chosen and varied: the
seldom played Beethoven Varia-
,tions offered welcome relief
from the half-doZen sonatas
that seem to make up a pianist's
stock in trade these days.
Yet with all these fine quail
ties, there is serious defect in
Mrs. Sirlin's playing. Her poise
allows her to play with great
deliberation, and that delibera-
ton often turns into a lack of
musical motion. Phrases follow
each in the right order. true
enough. but they do not always
add up to a connected section.
The forward-sweeping momen-

was sadly missing, for example,
as was the lifting motion that
makes Chopin's Barcarolle a
favorite of audiences every
where.
If Mrs. Sirlin masters this
lack of a driving rhythmic pulse
and achieves a better control of
sonorities by means of more
satisfactory pedalling, she may

Chester j. Petranek led the
Montgomery Symphony Or
chestra last night in a brilliant
orchestral program, played with
live tone, vigorous rhythm, and
good grasp of the musical values
of the works performed.
The Montgomery Symphony is
a good orchestra. 1t is large
enough to play anything; it has
enough good players to carry the

community it serves. A good
many of the music teachers of
the schools of Montgomery par
ticipate in and support this
group, and it provides, as a nom
professional orchestra should, op-
portunity for participation in
lifetime musical activity by the
product of the school musicians.
Mr.. Petranek is a good con-
ductor. He has a clear beat and
a good sense of structure. The
music he chose for last nights

keep up the interest of the group.
but not so difficult as to be dan
gerous for the orchestra. The
one novelty on the program, the
rather impressionistic isle of

poser, has a long violin solo,
capably played by Mrs. Albright,
the concertmaster of the or
chestra.

The Ballad of James Dalgleish
is set of variations on a we'll
known folksong which treats the
theme in the manner of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's definition of a
political platform, Something to
get in on but not to stand on"
The pieces by Kaljo Raid and
Louis Calabro are something like
Schoenberg, but without Schoen-
berg's melodic and rhythmic
vitality or his intellectual power.
They are full of shrill yelps from
the strings. punctuated, in the
Calabro piece. by brisk pounces
against the keyboard. Sparse
applause followed periods of
silence too long to be rests in the
music.

Concertante Music for Orchestra, Opus
z minor, TschaikoWsky: Overture Die

In its second visit here this
year, the Berlin Philharmonic
under Won Karajan confirmed
Washington's initial opinion that
1t is one of the most magnificent
orchestras in the world. IN
warmth. expanSiveness and
variety of tone and color the
group is beyond impeccability. it
seems to be a living organism.
The strings are of a soft and easy
beauty that made such spots as
the opening of the allegro Of the
third Leonore and the entire
Barber adagio sound not as music
heard to the point of safety but
as a new and wonderful ex-
perience.
The only piece in the roper
toire of the Plilharmonics
American tour that enabled the
orchestra to show that it could
make a point with unfamiliar
music was the "Concertante Mu-
sic" of Boris Blacher, played
yesterday. 1t is brilliant bravura
piece-a modern concerto for Or
chestra-of no great musical in
terest apart from the exciting
sounds contrived for the vari-
Gus sections Of the orchestra.
One of the few differences of
kind between an American and
European orchestra ives evident
in the Blacher. The brass of the
Philharmonic are richer, more
heroic and damped in sound
than ours, which are Characters
tically brighter, more incisive
and brilliant.
Mr.. Won Karajan is a first class
Snowman, and is clearly in close
rapport with every section of
his orchestra. Many feel that his
readings are free and personal
to the point of formlessness,
others find them the essence of
romanticism. To say more about
a conductor who in two concerts
has limited himself almost ex-
clusively to works that are the
backbone of every symphony Or
chestra would be like appraising
a cook solely by his omelet. It is
perceptive criticism if you are in
spired, but no one can deny you
the prerogative of waiting for
the rest of the meal.
