Rudolf Firkusny, who Joined
the Budapest Quartet at the
Library of Congress last night,
has a relatively cool, calculat-
ing approach to music. The
quartet's warm. impulsive ap-
proach is well known by now.
The results of such a COM
bination can be utterly disast-
Gus. But they were not. For
Mr.. Firkusny and the quartet
took an average, as it were,
and the outcome was an eve
ming of fine music making.
They began with a piano
quintet by the late Bohuslav
Martinu. q work afflicted with
an acute case Of triviality that
caused it to reel insenSately
between Dvorak and Honeg-
ger. The stylistic mixture is
best forgotten.
Mr.. Firkusny also joined the
quartet for a stunning per-
formance Of the Brahms Op. "a
Piano Quintet. There were
many places of great beauty
in the reading, among the most
striking of which were those
moments of brooding mystery
that formed so important q
part of Brahms musical per-
sonality. The beginning of the
development of the first move
ment is such a place. Another
is the opening of the third
movement which then so sud-
denly turns major and martial.
Some listeners may h ave
found the slow movement a
bit fast, but found it entirely
convincing. Here. as elsewhere
in the quintet. there were
some beautiful pianisSimos.
The two works with piano
were separated BY the Mozart

WALTON, PODOLEY GO TO GIANTS
Redskins Get Four Players
In Three-Cornered Deal
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star Staff Writer

A three month old deal,
which threatened to be an
other dud, finally Matched for
the Redskins yesterday in a
three-cornered swap with the
New York Giants and Dallas
Cowboys.
Coach Bill McIeak, who ap-
parently learned the fine, old
art of hoss-trading well during
his first year here, sent End
Joe Walton and Halfback Jim
Podoley to the Giants. In re-
turn the Redskins received
place-kicker John Aveni, De-
fensive Halfback Dave Whitsell
and Offensive End Jerry Dan
iels, a rookie from that club,
and Fred Dugan, veteran Of
fensive end, from the Cowboys.
New York also gave Dallas
Allen Green, rookie center and
punting specialist from MissiS-
sippi, plus a high 1862 draft
choice.
Will Back Up Khayat
The Redskins were in urgent
need of a place-kicker to back
up ailing Bob Khayat, who may
miss the 1862 National Football
League campaign because of
two operations for a cyst on the
pancreas. Aveni spent two years
with the Chicago Bears, doing
most of the place-kicking, and
kicking off for that team before
being sent to the Giants in a
recent deal.
According to league statistics,
the 25-year-old Aveni isn't in
Khayat's class. but he gave the
Bears a 1874 victory over
Green Bay in their opening
game last year with a 16-yard
field goal. and clinched a IT.
victory over Dallas with a 90
yard kick. His 32-yard boot also
figured in PAPA tie with the
Los Angeles Rams.
A native of Chicago and
graduate Of Indiana, the g.
foot-3, 210-pound Aveni also
made the headlines in a fist

the Detroit Lions that precipi-
