The art of Gina Bachauer,
the Greek pianist who gave a
recital yesterday afternoon IN
Constitution Hall, is the pre-
sentation of music in the col
orful and highly individualistici
>style that is the mark OF the
romantic tradition. With MISS
Bachauer, a piece OF piano,
music is a highly personal and
eyocative affair, something 10

" presented or reviewed.
In theory her attitude is logl-
cal and satisfactory; IN us
practice yesterday it was nov
very convincing. Her Bacn'
brahms and Chopin all were
marred by a waywardness OF
tempo that now and then were
almost freakish, and a sense OF
line. of continuity, of inner lie
in what she played was 10 my
ears absent. IL

and fugue in C is a very enec-

the most exciting part OF tne

Gene Akers. a member of the
pre-college music section fac
ulty of Catholic University ana
presently piano solist with the
United States Marine Band
was heard yesterday afternoon
on campus in a recital spon-
sored by the university's music
department.
Mr.. Akers, a gifted young
Peabody Conservatory product,
has been heard around town
quite frequently as a partlcl-
pant in chamber music ensem-
bles, but his solo appearances
are rather widely scattered.
It is too bad that this is
so. because when he is alone
on the stage a new and at
tractive element, that of a
distinct musical personality, is
added to his generally expert
but unusually self-effacing en-
Semble work.
The literature of thes 19tA
century proved to be most con-
genial to Mr.. Akers' mood. The
big work on the program,
Beethoven's Appassionata, got
a big and satisfying reading,
while the Chopin group and the
List Mephisto Waltz were set
forth with good taste and ex-
emplary accuracy.
Mr.. AkerS' Mozart was a little
too romantic for my blood, and
I did not think that he was
especially we'll attuned to the
cool arabesques of Rameau and
Couperin.
There was no way of telling
how he felt about contemporary
music because the sole examples
of work by a living composer,
Paul Creston's two preludes,
were composed in an idiom
slightly less advanced than that
of Edward Mcdowell.
A good-sized audience en-
joyed MIR. Akers' offerings.

Political Newcomer
To Back Humphrey
BY FRANCES LIDE
Star Stan Writer

When the Humphrey-for-
President campaign gets into
full swing. a prominent role
undoubtedly will go to a
glamorous looking former
crusading reporter who is now
State chairwoman Of Min
nesota's Democratic Farmer
Labor Party.
She is Mrs. Geri Joseph
of Minneapolis, a relative
newcomer to politics, though
her post is co-equal with the
chairman of her State party
organization.
Mrs. Joseph is an enthusi-
astic supporter of Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey and
recently accompanied the
Minnesotan and his wife on
the Senator's West Coast tour
before his candidacy for the
Democratic presidential
nomination was formally an
nounced.
In Washington for several
days last week end, she re-
called that she had worked
for Adlai Stevenson in 1856,
serving as State women's
chairman of Volunteers for
Stevenson.

Sary Items also resulted IN
the purchasing of luxury
items.
Now I have to 90 to the
grocers only once or twice a
week and find the unneceS-
sary articles less tempting.
We priced many freezers
before purchasing our 20
bic-foot upright one.
l personally preferred an
upright model for conven-
fence in locating food and
because ! thought it required
less room than the chest
type.
We've had our freezer Is
months and have been on a
food plan all that time. This
includes meat, poultry, fish,
vegetables and juices. This
supply is paid for in four
equal monthly payments.
The monthly supply, the
cost Of installment on my
freezer, the produce, staple
and dairy products pur-
chased at the supermarket
total less than the monthly
grocery bills before I got my
freezer. And believe me, we
eat much better now.
Another advantage with a
freezer, especially at this
time of year, concerns fresh
vegetables and fruits, now
available at such reasonable
prices, that can be frozen for
later use.
Also, while baking, a dou-
BILE batch of cookies, pies or
cakes can be made and
frozen.
One other thing-I never
get caught short when COM
pany arrives Unexpectedly.
I hope I've been of some
help to you. 1 do know that if
you buy a freezer, you will
never be sorry. This one is
wonderful!

the States so they could meet
women in the local commu-
mites, Mrs. Joseph recalled.
"We used private cars,
driven by volunteers, and each
trip lasted for two or three
days." she explained.
Mrs. Orville Freeman, wife
of the Governor; Mrs. Nc
earthly and Mrs. Humphrey
participated, along with the
wives of congressional candi-
dates and candidates for
State and county Offices -
the latter being especially
spotlighted in their own dis
trictS.
Social gatherings, such as
coffeeS and receptions, were
arranged, with the wives say
ing at least a few words so
everyone could see them. 5
Great Turnout
Although it began as a
women'S operation for wom-
en-, the turnout was so great
that soon the candidates
themselves began to join the
caravan.

members one breakfast held

Though her party has
no special State organiza-

isn't convinced that there

analyZing. In the State of
Washington, for instance,

She also thinks women are
especially good at the details
of party work.
A very feminine-looking
brunette with green eyes that
change color as the color of

Though many Humphrey
admirers also tend to favor a

Support-and for a very
practical reason.
"As much as I admire the
former Governor of Illinois,
my own Senator is a much

characteristic of this former
