! was there in the middle
of the war. There were two
pressing problems over which
the scientists worked. One
was How many torpedo hits
can a Brooklyn class cruiser
take on one side without
sinking?" The other was;
Allowing for an abnormally
low tide at Hampton Roads,
is it safe to launch an Essex
class carrier in a 12-knot
westerly wind, provided that
four tugs have lines aboard
to slow her DOWN."
I saw what a light cruiser
looks like-in miniature
after being hit by three tor
pedoes on the starboard side.
She heeled far over, dead in
the water. A captain told me
that he was assuming that
all underwater bulkheads
were logged shut, and that
a damage control party could
keep the trouble from spread
ing.
Somewhere far out in the
Pacific the flag officer of a
cruiser squadron wanted to
know the answer. At the Tay-
lor Model Basin, the solution,
as I recall, was that the
cruiser would remain afloat,
heeling 80 degrees to star
board. She could maintain
eight knots on the intact
boilers, but, If steered to port,
would capsize. All turns
would have to be made to
starboard.
They determined that the
cruiser could still use her
main armament to port at
zero DETECTION. Her second
airy batteries on the port side
would be of use. The answer
was: If you are a cruiser cap
tain and you sustain three
torpedo hits on the star
board side. make all your
turns to the right slowly, and
keep all threats on your left.
To solve the other problem,

Things were at their best
after intermission. Previously
there had been well-routined
Bach, and a Schubert sonata
that went its way peaceably
enough, without causing any
excitement.
The Chopin Ballade was de-
iivered with a proper concern
for the peculiar tonal aura
characteristic of the composer
and general good taste. There
were a few moments when the
pianist sought to push the in
strument beyond what the
acoustics of the East Garden
Court will allow, but these
passed quickly. 1t was a good
performance.
Three pieces by Jacques
Miller were presented for the
first time in Washington. The
second of them, Impromptu

scherzo-like movement and
deft phrasing. All were distin-

liked them as much for the
way they were played as fol

Those on hand to hear Nal
colin Frager at Constitution
Hall yesterday afternoon-tht
audience was shockingly sparse
were treated to an awe-in-
spring display of keyboard
artistry and virtuosity by this
brilliant young man from st
Louis.
Mr.. Frager by no means ar.
rived in Washington un'
heralded. He has walked away
with virtually every important
American prize, including the
Leventritt, and two years age
won the Queen Elizabeth Of
Belgium Award-the same ont
that started Emil Gilels on his
carer more than two decades
ago. Critics have been shouting
his praises for years.
But Frager was only kissed or
the cheek by a Belgian queer
and not by a Russian premier
and this apparently makes the
difference between a virtually
empty house and a full one. II
merely goes to show that, de-
spite our claims to culture, al
too many of us are more in
terested in head-hunting celeb
rites than we are in hearing
good musicians.
For there can be no doubt
about 1.-THE 27-year-old Fra
ger is one of the most fantas-
tically gifted pianistS of mod
ern times. So far as I am con-
cerned, it would be very diff
cult to find another pianist OF
his age who is his equal, and
none is his superior.
There is an unusual quality
about the art of Frager that is
difficult to describe. Everything
that he plays sounds completely
effortless. Nothing in the liter
allure appears to tax his capa-
bilitieS. AS a consequence, one
ceases to concentrate on his
astounding technique in very
short order, and music, not its
executant, occupies the spot
light.
! know of no pianist with such
obvious ability to overwhelm his
listeners with spectacular pyro-
technics who keeps himself Sc
carefully in the background
for Frager, virtuosity is totally
subservient to musicianship.
Yesterdays recital was a pa
rade of delights and complete
artistic triumph. Unhackneyed
sonatas by Mozart and Beetho-
ven, exquisitely etched, were
followed by familiar Chopin
played with such jewel-like
precision and sensitivity that
the E minor Nocturne and the
B minor Scherzo turned out tc
be profoundly moving expert.
ences. Indeed, I cannot recall
a more affecting performance
of the Nocturne in my years
of concert-going-the shape Of
the piece was perfection itself
After the intermisSion, Fragel
devoted himself to the Proko-
fieff Sixth Sonata, and the
limpid, Mozart-like clarity he
achieved in this difficult work
was wonder.
I could find fault only with
the opening Scarlatti group
This was obviously carefully
thought out and beautifully
projected, but it seemed to me
somewhat over-romantic in it,

certainly one of the best of the
