Objections were raised when
no Federation delegates were
included on the nominating list.
Historian Jesse C. Suter
pointed out that the present
constitution does not include
the delegates as officers, so
they should not be elected.
Several citizens protested,
saying the delegates had been
elected for years.
Nobody seemed to know how
or when the delegates had come
to be elected. One member sug-
gested that a separate election
be held. ii
Secretary Walter l.. Lynd-'
dane, ST.. declared that two
elections in one year would be
unconstitutional.
Mr.. Newell then declared
that the inhabitants are in the
federation and that some
where and somehow" it was
permissible to elect the repre-
Sentatives with the others.

Cheslock.
A pair of highly contrasted
string quartets by composers
little known hereabouts COM
prised the major portion of last
nights concert at the Pan
American Union.
The evening opened with the
first quartet of the Brazilian
composer Cesar Guerra-Peix
who is considered in South
America one of the most gifted
musicians of his generation.
Mr.. Guerra-Peixe was brought
up in the 12-tone idiom. and
although he has discarded this
technique in recent years in
favor of a more personal style,
the quartet, written in 1947, is
based on tone-rows.
The work does have some-
thing of that cold, interna-
tional feeling achieved by most
followers of Schoenberg. but
Mr.. Guerra-Peixe wears his
erudition lightly. One is never
aware of the rows in this brief
quartet, and in its lyric mo-
ments-such as the larghetto-
it is quite attractive.
The other quartet pro-
grarnmed was one by Louis
Cheslock, a member of the Bal
timore Symphony Orchestra for
many years. Mr.. Cheslock's
frankly romantic piece, now 81

Associations - a standing they
do not have at present.
Several oh sections were
voiced on this matter, but Act
ing President Clifford H. Newell
pointed out the amendments
were to be filed with the secre-
tary for discussion at the next
meeting, and the matter was
dropped for the moment.
William F. Mcdonnell then
wanted to add an Amendment
to make the President of the
United States an honorary
member. "be he Democrat or
Republican"

Some members voiced OBJ
jections. one declaring hon
orary members. like honorary
pallbearers, are pretty useless. "
The nominating committee
then took the floor and reported
"a nominees for the IS vice
presidencies, zone for each of
the original States). A couple
of members, nominated for
other positions, declined these
but gladly accepted nomination
from the floor for the popular
vice presidencies. An o Their
member was nominated to bring
