Two visitors to Washing
ton concert stages this sea-
son, Artur Rubinstein an d
Henry Szeryng, have united
to produce the second and
third in a series of sonatas
for piano and violin, thanks
to RCA Victor.
Vol. II finds them playing
Beethoven's Sonata No. 8 in
G major and Brahms No. /
in the same key. These pieces
are apt record = mates, both
breathing the light, poetic,
pastoral atmosphere shared
the composers.
All Brahms SOnatas
Vol. III rounds out the
three Brahms contributions
to this genre, his No. 2 in A,
opus 100, and No. 3 in D
minor, opus 108. No. 2 sets
a lyrical, idyllic mood, quite
in contrast to the restless,
passionate third and final
sonata.
Rubinstein and Szeryng
have fully justified their
partnership in which each is
the complete, unselfish artist
to the full Qualification of
these charming works. How
could Rubinstein be other
wise? And the younger Seer
yng proves himself his ideal
equal.

President Asked
To Intervene in
C&NW Strike

CHICAGO, Sept. 8 (AP).-
Three Midwestern Senators
have asked President Kennedy
to intervene in the 10-day-old
strike that has shut down the
Chicago g. North Western Rail-
road.
The Order of Railroad Teleg-
raphers struck the C6ENW
August 80 in a dispute over
job security for its 1000 mem
bers, employed mainly as sta
ton agents.
Since then a nine-State Mid
western area serviced by the
C&NW-the Nations third
longest railroad - has been
caught in a growing trans
portation crisis. Foodstuffs
such as grain are piling up on
loading docks and shortages Of
ail-shipped materials are
slowing or halting numerous
construction projects, including
at least one missile site.
In Washington, Senator
Mundt, Republican of South
Dakota, said the strike is ad-
versely affecting the Nations
defense buildup and urged Mr..
Kennedy ito show the same
concern and determination he
showed to reverse the increase
in steel prices" D.
Senators Hickenlooper and
Miller, Iowa Republicans, sent
a telegram to Mr.. Kennedy
stating that the strike is
seriously affecting many Iowa
businesses and their employees.

gressmen as urging blockades,
boycotts, arming Of mercenaries
and other tactics to topple
Prime Minister Fidel Castro's
regime.
The Soviet news agency Tass
reported that efforts were be-
ing made to whip up passion
in the United States against
Cuba, and that President Ken
nedy's administration sis TAX
ing practical measures for the
preparation of a new aggres-
sion against the peoples Cuba. /"
Tass noted that Mr.. Kennedy
asked Congress yesterday for

THE bellicose decision of the
American administration" said
Tass, sis a new link in the
chain Of military, political and
diplomatic measures for an ag-
gression against Cuba"
Tass reported yesterday that
the Soviet defense ministry
had called up a new class for

those born in 1943-and trans
ferred to the reserve those men

ReIotionsWith Germany

MUNICH, Germany, Sept. 8
(AP). - French Preside n t
Charles de Gaulle flew here
today on his state visit to West
Germany and expressed happi-
ness over the new peak reached
in French German relations.
About 5000 cheered President
de Gaulle, first French head of
state to visit Germany officially.
President de Gaulle, accom-
panied from Hamburg by his
wife and son Philippe, was well
coined by Bavarian Minister
President Hans Ehard, who said
that for centuries there have
been close relations between
Bavaria, the Oldest German
state, and France, the mother
Of Western European civiliza-
ton and culture"
President de Gaulle declared
that conditions in this world
today and the condition in
Germany and France make it
valuable that the bonds be-
tween Bavaria and France have
been rediscovered and will re-
main (close) together forever. f"
A rainstorm blew up shortly
before President de Gaulle ar
rived, as in the Ruhr and Ham
burg, but the weather did not
dampen the hearty welcome he
received in all three places. He
inspected an honor guard of
the Bavarian alert police.
