Whitaker Must Serve Term in Leavenworth for Trans- porting Stolen Auto. By the Associated Pres PHILADELPHIA, November 24.— Norman T. Whitaker, internationally known chess player, must serve the two-year sentence imposed on him by the Federal Court in Los Angeles for complicity in the transportation of stolen automobiles from one State to another, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled here yester- day. ‘Whitaker now is in the Federal pen- itentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., where he was taken several weeks ago, following the refusal here of Fed- eral Judge Dickinson to release him cn a writ of habeas corpus. His at- torney appealed to the Circuit Court. Whitaker sought release on the ground that the Federal motor theft act provided that punishment be meted out In one of the States through which a stolen automobile is transported. He asserted that he did not take the machine through Kan- sas The Circuit Court ruled that the in- tention of the law was to confer juris- diction upon any of the courts in the States through which the machines were taken to impose sentence.

Joset Hofmann is undoubtedly one of the master planists of the world. He 1s a favorite artist with local audi- ences and & particularly large audi- ence listened to a program chosen to represent every outstanding period of music, with apparent appreciation, at the Washington Auditorium last night. Especially enthusiastic was the recep- tion given Mr. Hofmann's interpreta- tion of that show-plece of planistic art, the Liszt arrangement of ner’s overture to ‘‘Tannhause also to the equally familiar melody of Beethoven's “Turkish March” from “The Ruins of Athens,” one of the three encores. Mr. Hofmann has never seemed in happler mood than last night. He evidently enjoyed interpreting his pro- gram. This planist’s technique is al- ways marvelous and his reading ac: curate. The fugue part of the Bach- Tausstg “Toccata and Fugue” was given life and color, and the Mendels- sohn “Scherzo” was the musical gem of the evening from point of view of artistic and original interpretation. Mr. Hofmann's fingers touched the key's with light, feathery touch, bring- ing forth equally light vet rounded notes that were a rare delight. The difficult and brilllant “Fantasti in C major,” by Schumann, was dotted with colorful passages of arresting beauty, but the planist did not hold his audlence under a continuous spell during the number. It is an exceed ingly lengthy selectlon. The Chopin “Nocturne in F major” was infused with careful shading, but the “Scherzo in C sharp minor” seemed to have more of the true Chopin beautv brought out. That same master's ““Berceuse” and “Black Key Etude’ were the other encores, the former of which was played with such extreme About Coal?
