VETERANS MEDICAL . NEEDS ARE RCED Higher Class of Physicians _and Surgeons Demanded by Leader. A demand for a “higher class of physicians and surgeons” and a perma- nent medical corps in the Veterans' Bureau will be made at the regular session of Congress, according to Wil- liam J. Murphy of California, national commander of the Disabled American ‘Veterans, who is here on an inspection tour of the Eastern institutions in ‘Which World War veterans are patients. “While we are pressing for more hos- pital facilitles,” Commander Murphy said, “we realize that these hospitals must be staffed and we are facing the cold fact that the average age of the doctors on the Civil Service lists from which the Veterans' Bureau must draw is more than 47 years. To Press for Action. “Our solution to meet this crisis is & medical crops on the same general basis as the medical corps of the Army and Navy and the United States Public Health Service and we intend to press for action as soon as the regular session ©f Congress conyenes.” Murphy has held a series of con- ferences at the Capitol with Repre- sentative Royal C. Johnson, chairman of the veterans' committee in the House, and also with Director Frank Hines of the Veterans' Bureau, in the interest of the early enactment of the Rogers bill for additional hospital fa- cilities for mentally disabled veterans and the establishment of the Medical Corps in the Veterans’ Bureau.

Budapest would seem to be the home of string quartets. A year ago music centers of the United States waxed en- thusiastic over the first appearances in this country of the Roth String Quar- tet, which hailed from the Hungarian capital. Yesterday, at the Founders’ day_concert in the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation Chamber Music Hall of the Library of Congress, an- other quartet from Budapest made its debut America. It was the Lener String Quartet, composed of Jeno Lener and Joseph Smilovits, violins; Sandor Roth, viola, and Imre Hartman, violin- cella. The rare beauty of this up's interpretation of classical music was quite evidently considered full compen- sation for braving stormy weather by the audience which nearly filled the hall and applauded lengthily and even shouted “Bravo!” at the conclusion of the program. It was a brilliantly suc- C&S}l’ll American premiere of this quar- tet. The first New York program is scheduled for November 12. The three selections composing the program were admirably chosen. The sincere music lover who wishes to have his soul soothed with beautiful sound and does not care for cerebral gymnas- tics such as are required by many works of the modernists, had opportunity to revel in melodious sound achieved with masterly musicianship on the part of both composer and interpreters. There was perfection of ensemble balance. Mr. Lener has a highly eloquent first violin with rounded, mellow tone, and he perfect command of subtleties in shad- ing.and dexterity in his technique. His instrument is said to be one of the few Stradivarius violins mnot previously heard in America, and it is valued at many thousands of dollars. This rare instrument would seem to have found the right master. Mr. Hartman's vio- loncello, too, was unusually eloquent in the passages in the Schubert which gave it solo opportunities. In the largo from Haydn's “String Quartet in D" the cello achieved powerful organ tones which gave this work a benediction quality. This number was given in ‘memory of Oscar G. Sonneck, first chief of the music division of the Library of Congress, who died October 30, 1928. Both second violin and viola formed ‘beautifully balancing links between first violin and violoncello. The playing of the adagio movement in Mozart’s “Quartet in B Flat” was exquisite. It was worth a whole season of lesser music less perfectly performed and seemed to leave an indelible impression beauty with the whole audience.

Now it would seem that they might have competition second quar- tet coming from their own home town. Both the Roths and the Leners are groups that give new impetus to the music_situation over here, which has been in a rather low frame of mind.
