Iterpretive points of view. Here
things got a little out of hand,
and Nine. Won Sauer more than
once resorted to a heavy foot on
the pedal in order to mask for
givable inaccuracies.
Old-timers will perhaps recall
that this particular set of varia-
itions was once a showpiece of her
teacher Egon Petri: his record
ing, made many years ago for
Columbia, is a cherished collec-
tors item. At her best. Nine. Won
Sauer sounded much like Petri,
but she was not quite able to du-
lplicate his virtuosity and his &C
curacy.
Total Effect Weakened
The second half of the pro-
gram was devoted to a pleasant
suite written by Heitor Villa
Lobos In 1918 and two standard
works by Ravel and Debussy.
All in all. Nine. Won Sauel
proved to be a pianist of consid-
cradle power and technical PROV
ess who. when playing at the TOP
of her form, is definitely worth
earring. Unfortunately. the
Brahams Paganini Variations
which have baff1ed so many
pianists, were just out of her
reach, and as this work was the
climactic one of the program. the
strong impression she made with
the rest of the music offered was
somewhat weakened.
The recital was presented I'M

In Negro Teachers Firing

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept.
IA (P.-An order has been filed
in the city council for an inquiry
into the circumstances surround
ing the release of Warren G..
Mcclure. 35, of Eugene. Ore.
before he began his teaching
duties for which he was hired
by mail.
Mr.. Mcclure. a Negro. was
told that the job of teaching
retarded children, in which he
specializes, had been filled be-
fore his arrival. He was given
$1,000 expense money to cover
the cost of travel across the
country.
Race Issue Raised
Some of the townspeople main
tanned Mr.. Mcclure was not re-
tanned because he is a Negro,
but this contention was denied
by city officials.
Mr.. Mcclure had been hired
after negotiating by mail with
L. Munro Grandy, superintend-
ent of schools. The job would
have paid $4,000 a year
Co-sponsors of the order for
an inquiry are Councillors Man
uel F. Lewis and John j. Burke,
jr, Mr.. Lewis said he wants to
know:
/. Is it legal to give $1,000 in
city funds to a teacher under
such circumstances?
2. Exactly why was Mr.. Nc
Cures contract cancelled?
3. Why was Mr.. Mcclure hired
without a personal interview?

training and experience could be

Mr.. Grandy also said Mr.. Nc
Clure declined an offer to teach
a sixth grade class after being
told the job of teaching re-
tarded children had been filled.
City Manager Richard w.
Mayo said of the $1,000 expense
payment:
Every man makes a mistake
once in a while. Certainly a mis-
take was made in failing to get
recommendations on the indi-
divual. 1t should be overlooked
by the citizens"
Mr.. Mcclure said he taught in
three school systems in Cali
fornia and had recommendations
from them.

bribery was involved, the case
should be prosecuted to the full
