The assembly of 60 citizens heard William Murphy, former option- holder of the old Benning race track site and invited guest speaker | of the meeting, declare that estab- lishment of a local track would increase revenue here by approxi- | mately $600,000 per year of 53 racing days by diverting most of the Mary- land trade emanating from Wash- ington. Mr. Murphy said that no undesir- i ‘ able element would surround a local Three Pieces Custom-made Sunfast Pre-Shrunk Slip Covers Sofa, 2 Chairs, 5 Cushions .

Francis C. Heigle argued that un- | desirable gambling activities would be less in evidence with legalized bet- ting than at present, “when virtually every street corner has its ‘bookie’ | to place illegal bets.” George Fraser, who urged adop- tion of the resolution, contended that the legalizing bill would “break down the moral standing of the city and | open a wedge for loosening all gam- | bling laws.” Ernest L. Wilkinson, !local lawyer, pointed out that any revenue increase from this source might easily be nullified by a pro- portionate decrease in the Federal | share in District expenditures. The i vote was divided. Vandalism Discussed. After hearing numerous complaints | of vandalism by children on private properties in the community the as- sociation voted to urge parents to co-operate with police in halting }such activities. Objection also was | voiced to erection of large neon signs |in the Chevy Chase business area and a committee was instructed to | investigate the legality of such signs. Committee reports presented a | proposal to urge commemorative ex- ercises for the 150th anniversary of | the founding of the Nation’s Capital | and a plan to provide the 2.000 mem- 1 bers with membership directories. An | appropriation of $70 was approved | for this purpose. Godfrey L. Munter presided over the meeting, held in the E. V. Brown School. Dahlgren Terrace Citizens " Hit Chain Store Tax Bill 2 NONE HIGHER Thousands to Choose from ALL HEADSIZES The Dahlgren Terrace Citizens’ Association last night opposed Sena- tor Patman'’s chain store tax bill, re- affirmed its stand against any form of sales tax and applauded the fact that the new District Commissioner, John Russell Young, is a “District citizen.” Selection of a site for a suitable Boys’ Club in the area was referred to James Bittle. The District Podia- try bill was given to Mrs. Willlam | Luers for study. The association went on record as favoring an addition to the minimum wage and hour law to benefit “men.” John P. Cahill was re-elected as president of the association. Other officers selected are Mr. Bittle, vice president; J. G. Kingsbury, treasurer, land Miss Mary Durkin, secretary. | Mr. Cahill was empowered to take any action which he deemed neces- | sary in his capacity as a delegate to the Northeast Conference. An amendment to limit the asso- to four was asked by F J. McDonald and unanimously accepted by the members present Mr. McDonald and F. J. McDonald, jr., were chosen as delegates to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. { Chairmen of committees were named as follows: Ciyic relations, the senior Mr. McDonald; laws and legislations, G.

The noted Russian pianist presented a program that leaned more to the romantic school after playing, as opening numbers, Mo- zart’s “Rondo in A minor” and Beethoven’s “Sonata in D major, Op. 10, No. 3,” and Schumann’s “Etudes Symphoniques.” Arensky, Liadow, Scriabin, Debussy and Chopin were represented on . the | remainder of the program. | In Mr. Sklarevski’s playing, his | superior schooling and wide expe-i rience is evident in every phrase. | A technique fleet and sure is| equalled by a musicianship that is solidly grounded and the serious- ness of his intentions gives a special | value to his performance. As finely played as were the Mozart and Bee- | thoven works, with finesse of phras- ing worthy to be emulated by all other artists, neither the graceful- ness that at times stands out pre- eminently in both works nor the deep feeling in the Beethoven were sufficiently apparent. The contrast between the Largo e Mesto and the remaining move- ments of the Beethoven Sonata was not marked in any outstanding fashion, for Mr. Sklarevski has not always the virility of tone that can give out the tragic meaning ‘to that great and sorrowful writing nor the climax that ends overwhelmingly in ringing sound. Yet, with the “Etudes Symphoniques,” the tonal color brightened and became more reso- nating so that the finale was su- perbly presented as a fitting ending for a finely planned reading.

The free and loving reading of the Arensky and Liadov numbers was carried over into the Preludes of Scriabin where their different moods were etched with true understanding. Debussy’s “L'Isle | joyeuse” was brilliantly played if|g lacking somewhat the delicate veil- (@ ing that gives such special charm to Debussy’s writings.
