Gene Hall Recital Features Impressionistic Piano Work
By WAYNE KNOWLES
"From a Vacation Diary," an impressionistic piano composition, harmonized with the May weather in anticipation of the summer holiday at Gene Hall's recital yesterday evening.
"Anticipation," the first movement of M. Hall's composition, conveyed the proper air of excitement combined with a dreamy quality. The second movement was the markedly impressionistic "At the Beach." "Evening Dance," melodic and vaguely romantic, was followed by "After the Dance" which began almost lightly, developed into a powerful flood of music, then reverted to the calm opening theme.
Hall's setting for "Invictus," captured much of the spiritual strength of Henley's poem. Dale Moore's barton interpretation of the song added to the effectiveness of the music.
"Three Fugues for String Trio" opened with a spirited and unmelodic movement. The second movement had an almost brooding philosophical quality, particularly in the cello part. The trio was concluded by another dramatically rhythmic section suggestive of the first movement in tonality and tempo.
The last movement, "Reflections," alternated between a melodic vigor and a meditative mellowness, and concluded "From a Vacation Diary" with a crescendo.
Hall's ability seems to lie principally in piano compositions. His compositions are the work of a young artist exploiting the results of the rhythmical and tonal revolutions in music.

Chinese Attack Central Front
University Daily Kansan
Seoul — (U.P.) About 800 yelling Chinese troops attacked outpost Texas and four forward positions on the central front today in the heaviest fighting since reopening of truce talks.
The Chinese overran outpost Texas and two of the advance positions but retreated as South Korean troops counterattacked them savagely.
South Korean troops killed or wounded more than 175 Chinese in hand-to-hand fighting in mud left by torential rains.
An unknown number of Chinese struck at a listening post near Texas about 2:45 a.m. They retreated and two platoons of reinforcements tried to assault the outpost but drew back after 55 minutes of fighting.
Reinforcing their ranks again, this time to company strength, the Chinese attacked Texas at 5:55 am a 1,500 round red artillery barrage
They reached South Korean trenches almost two hours later but the ROKs drove them away in counterattacks at 12:45 p.m.
Two other Chinese companies hit outpost positions southwest of Texas and retreated from rifle and grenade fire. Communist attempts to take two other posts southeast of the outpost failed.
Fourteen B-29s, attacking through a heavy cloud layer, hit the 270-acre supply tents at Noha, 18 miles southwest of the demolished Kyompino Steel mills, last night.
Earlier, Superfort crews said they saw "orange glows" in the sky after bombing a Communist supply area in North Korea.
The Superfortresses encountered no Red fighter opposition.
A communique from 5th Air Force headquarters said only weather reconnaissance planes went up during the day.
Torrential rains almost halted ground fighting as they muddied trenches along the 155-mile battle line.
