made one Of his rare but al
ways welcome trips to town
yesterday to play two concertos
with the Catholic University
Orchestra. under the direction
of John Gosling.
Mr.. Masselos has just re-
turned from the Mozarteu in
Salzburg, they tell me at the
university. where he made an
unusual hit as soloist in an
almost unknown concerto by
c. p. E. Bach, a composer who
during his lifetime was the IA
nous son Of q Leipzig organist
and choirmaster. and who to-
day is remembered as q re-
Imarkable music teacher, the
son Of a famous father.
The Bach concerto was the
featured work of last nights
program. 1t is a delightful piece
-presaging Mozart in its never
ending flood of melody, and
looking packard to j. S. Bach
in its antiphonal handling Of
strings and solo instrument. 1t

and conciseness of a j. S. Bach
concerto. but the claSsicism We
admire so much nov was to

There may have been those
in the audience who felt with
me that 1t was q waste of Mr..
Masselos' talents to choose the
second Chopin concerto as his
other vehicle Of the evening.
The pianist is one Of the half
dozen finest we have an oppor-
tunity to hear in Washington,
and the F minor concerto Of
Chopin, although It shows
traces Of faded charm now and
then. is on the whole one Of

SIS a Month Pensions
In the second year, the In
quirer will make a further con-
tribution to the pension fund of
IL per cent, making total
contribution of 3 per cent of
the total payroll. The Guild es-
timated that the addition would
increase pension benet1tS to
about SIS a month.
The pay and pension provi-
sionS were the same as those
previously rejected, but the ap-
proved agreement embodied
what the Guild called job pro-
lection for the membership. The
Guild had defined job security
as a key issue.
The Guild said the new con-
tract increases the progressive
scale of severance indemnity
to 40 weeks pay after IL years,
compared with 81 weeks in the
same period under the former
agreement. This applies imme-
diately to anyone discharged
for cause other than economic
necessity. It applies six months
hence to all dismissalS.
