BARMEMBERS PLA PAY BILL PROTEST Delegation Will Present Views Against Measure to Chair- man Lehlbach. A delegation from the Federal Bar Association planned to call on Rep- resentative Lehlbach today to protest against that provision of the new pend- ing pay bill which they claim would cause a demotion of many professional and scientific employes of the Gov- ernment. ‘This step followed a meeting of the association at the Interior Department Auditorium last night, when John Ernest Downin of the legislative com- mittee reported that demotion of per- sons in grade 4, professional and scien- tific service, and grade 11, clerical ad- ministrative and fiscal service, would be necessary under the mnew Lehlbach- Brookhart measure. He protested such demotions would be unfair, as some per- sons would be cut down to the salaries they were receiving in June, 1928. Assistant Controller General Lurtin R. Ginn in an address explaining the functions of the general accounting office, of which J. R. McCarl is the head, said under the law it was neces- sary for that office to interpret the ‘Welch act. It was the responsibility of the office, Judge Ginn pointed out, be- cause Congress had made the general accounting office responsible for ace- counting for funds expended. Judge Ginn, however, did not touch directly on the recent controversy between Con- troller General McCarl and Chairman Lehlbach of the House civil service committee over merits of the pending Ppay bill legislation. William R. Vallance, reporting on progress of a membership drive for the association, said that the State De- partment could now be rated 100 per cent, as all lawyers in that department ‘were members of the association.

Odell of the 1400 block of Sixteenth street and John W. Davis, colored, resulting from a raid made more than eleven months ago, to- day reached the jury on its fourth day in Police Court, before Judge John P.

Washington music lovers showed their decidedly keen interest in orches- tral music by practically filling the ca- capity of the theaters on both occasions. Mr. Koussevitzky discreetly opened his program with the sweetly beauti- ful and reassuringly classical “Overture No. 3, to Ieonore,” by Ludwig van Bee- thoven. Immediately the subtle legato style of this orchestra’s playing was noticeable. The applause which fol- lowed showed an unmistakable warmth of appreciation. With similar canny discretion Mr. Koussevitzky chose to finish his pro- gram with a Brahms symphony.

Instead he presented the “Second,” written in the key of D major. To this revl:wer‘ the second symphony did not seem as stirring and apt to carry the listener to the heights that the aforementioned first and fourth have achieved. It is beautiful music and was obviously well played yesterday. Certainly Mr. Kous- sevitzky and his musicians rose nobly to the briilliance of the finale. The audience showed marked approval, lin- gering, with prolonged applause, at its conclusion. i Tucked snugly between the sonorities of the two great “ of music were some very “different” modern works. Erik Satie, the whimsical dreamer, was represented by two so-called “Gymno- pedies,” orchestrated by Debussy, and Artur Honegger's new work, “Rugby,” also was given its Washington pre- miere. As the Philharmonic featured fowls of the air in more than one work Tuesday. so the Boston featured ath- letics, both anclent and modern, in these works yesterday. Mr. Satie’s “Gymopedies” were astounding in their softly restrained style and minor color. They seemed vague stuff for use in an athletic festival given by stalwart Spar- tan youths.

All that is new in details THURSDAY, imitated the wild gesturing in the wor- ship of Dionysius; during the festival there was great rejoicing, great merri- ment,” there seemed nothing in either of these movements written “lent et grave” and “lent et douloureaux” to convey any such impression. Rather, they might have been the athletic ideas of a canary bird, which always had had limited exercise in a gilded cage. The “Rugby” of M. Honegger, who is on a visit to this country at present, was very different. It certainly is virlle and filled with action, even though it doesn’t attempt a literal tonal descrip- tion of a foot ball game. As a musical composition, it seems to be constructed with the blithest disregard of conven- tions, and much of the time the first violins seem to play the part of the grandstand. The auditers may or may not care for “Rugby,” but whatever one’s personal reaction, none can but be thoroughly aware that M. Honegger breaks or modifies his musical con- structions with subtle cleverness, shrewd knowledge and firm intent. It is a work JANUARY 31, which ought to prove even more in- 1929. teresting after a second or third ing. H. P A PIANO AND ’CELLO RECITAL. An extremely pleasing combination of instruments was afforded yesterday morning in the joint recital given under the auspices of Mrs. Lawrence Town- send at the Mayflower, when Beatrice Hi violincellist, and Harold Bauer, pianist, were the artists. The capacity audience greeted both soloists with warm applause. The highlight of the program was the Brahms “Sonata tor "Cello and Piano, in E Minor.” There were many passages in this work when the two instruments soared together in ment—allegretto quasi minuetto—w. especially attractive in its interpreta tion. Miss Harrison is one of the world’s finest violoncellists, achieving a big, rounded tone as powerful as a man might secure, and richly mellow. Mr. Bauer holds one of the leading places among the world’s famous pianists. He has never been heard to better ad- vantage than in yesterday's program. He also distinguished himself as an ar- ranger in Bach's “Partita in B Flat,” giving colorful readings to each of the varied dance rhythms, especially the tripping minuet measures and 8! of the gigue. From the ic beauty of Schumann’s “Novellette in D,” Mr. Bauer turned with equal skill to the interpretation of Ravel's impressionistic, “Ondine,” and followed it with a barcarolle of Cho- 1in’s giving as encore the always charm- ing “Butterfly Etude.” Miss Harrison won greatest distinc- tion for her amazing virtuosity on the ‘cello with Cyril Scott’s “Pastorale and Reel,” in which she obtained almost unbelievable tones, first suggesting the reed pipes of a shepherd, with weird, Eml-tt;lllsco‘rdlntbe mnes, mflfll:lwrlh e:;‘x; e gpipes g sugge: whimsical fiddling tune in which Miss Harrison had_particularly apt accom- paniment of Emile Smith at the piano. Miss Harrison's encore was “Le ge.” of Saint-Saens, which she played with beautiful legato expression. Mr. Smith, who had substituted at the last moment for Mary Miller Mount, the original accompanist, who was {ll, proved very apt in that capacity. In referring to the Cyril Scott num- ber, following the concert, Miss Harri- son vouchsafed the information that upon her return to London, she is to play the premiere of that composer’s newest work for ’'cello and orchestra, the |* not’ seem ne of Thls “eehis playine. wouid invite men, bird or beast to mm.’ Gunmen Given Life Sentences.
