Mr. Stern was launched on the concert stave after his New York debut in 1937 and his steady upward climb was followed with interest by critics from coast toast. With his Carnegie Hall concert on Jan. 12, 1943, he was acclaimed a member of the sparsely populated realm of first-flight violinists.

Quintet to Play Cello Numbers
The appearance of the Quintetto Boccherini at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Strong auditorium will give concert-goers an opportunity to hear one of the post-war Italian chamber music ensembles. This group of five string players specializes in the performance of the cello quintets composed by Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805).
(1/435-1803). Already known throughout Europe for its concerts of string music in London, Berlin, Rome, Milan, Zurich, Vienna, and other capitals, the Boccherini quintet is believed to be the first of its kind. Its makeup is comprised of two violinists, one violist, and two cellists.

Senators Vote Censure, 67-20
Washington—(UP) The Senate gave overwhelming approval to one censure resolution against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and prepared to vote today on two more.
The first blow fell heavily last night when the Senate voted 67 to 20 to adopt the first of two censure counts returned by a special committee. It censured Sen. McCarthy for "repeatedly abusing" a 1951-1952 elections subcommittee.
Remaining to be voted on were the censure committee's second count—a charge that Sen. McCarthy "intemperately" abused Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker during a Senate hearing last Feb. 18, and a resolution by Sen. Wallace F. Bennett (R-Uttah). He demanded Sen. McCarthy's censure for calling the censure committee the "unwitting handmaidens" of the Communist party.
A final vote was expected before nightfall.
But, Sen. McCarthy will resume his investigation of Communism Monday despite his censure by the Senate.
The censure does not affect Sen. McCarthy's rights and privileges as a Senator nor his position as chairman of the Government Operations committee.
Sen. McCarthy said last night he was "greatly relieved that the Senate has finally voted" on part of the censure proposals "so I can get back to work."
He said his investigating sub-committee will get back to work Monday on the problem of Communists in defense plants.
hists in defense publications.
Last night's vote, the first such action in 25 years and only the fourth in Senate history, drove a steel wedge into the middle of the Republican ranks.
Kansas two senators split on censuring Sen. McCarthy.
Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel, a friend of the Wisconsin Republican, voted against censure.
suring
Sen Frank Carlson, a member of
the six-man committee which
brought the censure charges before
the Senate, voted for the rebuke.
On three of yesterday's four Senate votes, GOP senators were almost evenly divided with a slim majority of them voting anti-MeCarthy. On these three, the Republicans split 22 to 21, 23 to 20 and 23 to 20 against the Wisconsin senator.
the Wisconsin senators. Counting the "pairs" of absent senators, they were divided 23 to 22 for Sen. McCarthy in one case and 23 to 22 against in the other two.
On a compromise offered by Sen
Karl E. Mundt (R.-SD.), the Republican votes 29 to 15 against it with some of McCarthy's friends aligned with the opposition.
On all four of the votes, Senate Democrats voted unanimously against Sen. McCarthy and against compromise.
Sen. McCarthy admitted defeat, charging he was being hit for "exposing Communists." He said that the solid Democratic vote against him "may give the American people the why" of the action. But his supporters launched a last-ditch fight today anyway.
They pinned some hopes on the suggestion of Sen. Francis E. Case (R.-SD.) that a two-thirds rather than simple majority vote might be needed for final adoption of a censure resolution.
But Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah), the censure committee's chairman, minimized the threat. He said today that a simple majority could rule against the need for a two-thirds ballot. And censure leaders were confident of mustering a two-thirds majority on a final vote anyway.
The anti-censure forces aimed their main punch at the censure committee's second count involving Gen. Zwicker, Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R.-III), an anti-censure leader, said there definitely would be moves today to kill it outright or modify it.
The adoption of the censure committee's first count last night climaxed 10 days and hundreds of thousands of words of formal debate. And it quickly erased speculation on where everybody stood.
The vote came amid a flurry of other votes in which:
1. The Dirksen compromise declaring there is no legal basis for Sen. McCarthy's censure was defeated 66 to 21.
2. A compromise sponsored by Sen. Karl M. Mundt (R.S.D.) to deplore but not censure intemperate language by Sen. McCarthy and any other senator was defeated 74 to 15.
