Audience Spellbound By Cellist
Feuermann Given Fout
Curtain Calls After One
Number; Three Encores
At Close
By Robert Becker c'40
Last night an audience of a thousand and persons was held spellbound by Emanuel Feuermann, Austrian cellist who gave the fifth University concert course presentation.
"He is the greatest technician that has ever lived," said Raymond Stuhl, violincellor instructor. "Feuermann is capable of playing many intricate violin pieces on the cello."
Z229
In the Sonata in F (Brahms) Feuermann demonstrated his technique and mastery of the entire compass of the instrument. In this piece Feuermann executed a string-to-string vibrato which even Pablo Casals, for the past forty years reputed to be the greatest cellist ever produced, does not attempt. His pizza-carato rang out almost like a harp.
Feuermann's second number, Sonata in D Major (Locatelli) is the most difficult classic sonata ever written for cello. "It exhaltes the technique of the cello as much, it not more, than any piece since written," said Mr. Stuhl. The confidence with which Feuermann played the double steps up in the thumb position, where most cellists grow tense made the artist seem almost to merge with his instrument.
After intermission Stravinky's Italian Suite brought four curtains calls from the audience. The number of curtain calls to the cello and was played superbly.
Following the Italian Suite were four transcriptions by Feermann Valse (Chipin) showed a remarkable feeling for the music, and was played with a full and soronous tone. The musician demonstrated the confidence and precision in the thumb positions shown in the Locatelli sonata.
After the concert the enthusiastic audience demanded three encores.
Feuermann truly played his $30-000 Stradivarious that it possessed all the flexibility of a violin. He seemed to have the technique of Heifetz combined with the interpretation of Kreisler. One woman expressed the opinion of the entire audience when, after a particularly brilliant passage, she remarked. "I: impossible!"

Agreements W th Britain Are Hinted
Representative Charges
Big Navy Bill Is Anglo-
American Co-operative
Arrangement
Washington, March 14—(UP)—Representative George Holden Tinkham (Rep., Mass.) declared in the house today that President Roosevelt's super-navy program is aimed at parallel action with Great Britain and charged that any "arrangements" for military co-operation between the two powers would brand the President and the secretary of state as "disloyal" and "traitorous."
"If someone in this government has made such arrangements, be he the president or the secretary of state, he is disloyal to the United States and traitorous to his country," Tinkham said.
Referring to a radio address by Chairman Powell Vinson (Dem. Ga.) of the House naval affairs committee quoting statements by Secretary of State Cordell Hull to the effect that the United States has no such agreements with a foreign power, Tinkham shouted:
Refers to Radio Address
"How can it possibly be said that no agreement has been made by this country?"
Vinson challenged him vigorously, asserting that is not "a scintilla of evidence to back up your charge except a newspaper story."
Vinson pointed to positive statements by Hull and Admiral William L. Leahy, chief of naval operations that the United States has no commitments with foreign powers and intends to stand alone.
"I am frank to say," Tinkham Continued on page 3
Davis Presents Senior Recital
The auditorium of Frank Strong hall was filled to capacity for the recital yesterday afternoon of Keith Davis, tenor. It was one of the largest audiences to attend a senior recital in many years.
At the close of the program Mr. Davis was called back repeatedly to acknowledge the prolonged aplause. His voice is a pure rhyme of appealing duet with the last several训练 during the first direction of Alice Moncrieff of the School of Fine Arts.
To open his program Davis had chosen a group of three old English numbers from Rosseler, Dowland, and Dr Arne, together with a number from A. Scarlatti. A carefully chosen group of German songs from Grieg, Wolf, and Brahms made up the second group. The aria of the program was "Il Mio Tesorot" from Mozart's opera "Don Giovanni". In the French group were the "Ouvre Ton Cœur", with its insistent poise rhythm in the accompaniment, and the "La Chanson du Pou" or "Madman's Song", sung with considerable voice for the orchestra. Hira
Open With English Numbers
Opening it the final group of five songs, all sung in English, was Rachmaninoff's "O Cease Thy Singing" with violin obligato by Robert Sedore, a graduate of the School of Fine Arts and now in charge of the violin work at Baker University. "I Heard a Frost Praying!" by De Rose; (w to p) from the old musician, Sibelius; and the short "Love's in My Heart." by Woodman, completed the recital.
Mary Jane Bruce, who but a week ago gave her own senior recital in piano, accompanied the singer.
Bruce Accompanies Him
The next of the f he recitals in the senior-graduate series occurs on March 28, when John Moore, a candidate for his master of music degree in June, will appear in recital in the same hall.
France Reassures Czechs
New Blum Government Will Rush Troops Eastward If Hitler Tr ys Extending Reich
Paris, March 14- (UP) — France tonight gave formal assurance in the first diplomatic move of the new Blum administration that French allies will be rushed to the East if Hitler attempts to extend his new German-Austrian Reich across the German-Austrian frontier.
Premier Leon Boom and foreign Minister Joseph, Paul Bonocour, less than 24 hours at the head of a new Popular Front government, summoned the Czechoslovakian ambassador, Stefan Stefanu, to Matignon palace and reaffirmed the Paris-Prague military alliance.
France, despite whatever British attitude may be toward Hitler's sweep to the east and south, will stand solidly by her commitments to Czechoslovakia, Ossussky was told told.
Vienna, March 14 — (UP)—Reich Fucher Adelson, who in three years seized Austria, the land of his birth, and made it part of the German Reich, rode in triumph i n to Vienna tonight and defied the world to interfere with the bold fulfillment of his boyhood dream.
It was understood that Andre Charles Corbin, French ambassador to London, had informed the British government that France is "scrupulously determined to respect the Czech-Czechoslovakian alliance in the event that Czechoslovakian borders are threatened.
Hitler Rides Triumphantly Into Vienna, Defying World
whatever happens, this new German Reich never again will fall asunder. Nobody can force it from its road" he shouted from an inner balcony and roared, "We're feeling from nearly a million troops, rolled upon him.
"No threat, no misery, and a violence will ever cause this oath to be broken. We are now 74 million people, nobody can turn in from our way."
Hilter, standing on a second floor balcony of the Imperial hotel and facing east—toward worried Czechoslovakia, 35 miles away across the Donube—repeated with emphasis the greater Germany is "on the way."
German Troops May Not Remain I Austria Until the Plebiscite
Vienna, March 15 (Tuesday)—(UP) A person high in Chancellor Acoulph Hitler's confidence said today that "German troops will not necessarily remain in Austria until after the plebiscite, April 10.
"Their presence here to maintain order undoubtedly will not be necessary. You will be able to see for yourself that Anchluss will be effected peacefully and with almost unanimous approval."
Hartford, Conn., March 14—(UP)—Rabbi Akim Feldman still was angry at the Columbia Broadcasting System today. He said he had neither forgiven nor forgiven him to make room for a photon录 recording from the Berkeley of Adolph Hitler's Saturday speech.
Rabbi Angry at C.B.S.
His heart line reveals disappointment and bitterness. But, to quote from Dr. Randall's analysis in his book *To Know People by Their Hands*:
New York, March 14.—(UP) Here's how the hands of world figures are read by Dr. Josef Ranaldm and author.
The cast for the number which satirizes the lawyers in the forthcoming Sigma Delta Chi production announced last night. Those chosen were.
Premier Benito Mussolini's hand indicates, too, an unspent energy and restlessness and forceful deter-ANCE any coat, according to Dr. Raunold.
"Most remarkable of all is Hiller's line of destiny whose origin is marked by a cross, its termination by a star under the middle finger. This line marks the destiny of a fate whose fate is out of his control."
The lines about his life show many narrow escapes from danger.

To Satirize Laws
In 'Spring Swing'
The hand of Adolph Hitler indicates boundless ambition. He virtually demands submission—with questions asked of all who serve him.
It was also announced that the scene would show the front of the Law building complete to the last detail with a翠 Jimmy Green and his comrade in the foreground. The number is concerned with the traditional way the lawyers whistle as co-eds pass their "barn."

Palmist Reads Great Restlessness In Hands of Hitler and Mussolini
Demonstrations will include metal spray and hard-surfacing. By the metal spray method, a metal, even steel, can be melted and applied under pressure for any protective purpose. The e method is particularly useful in repairing worn shafts. The worn place can be built up and then regrow to its original size. The process makes repairs plissible, and cuts down necessity to buy new parts.
Welders To Convene
Latest advances in the field of welding will be discussed and demonstrated at the fourth annual Welding Conference, to be held at the University March 31 and April 1. From 150 to 300 construction men of the midwest, from highway engineering departments, railways, and industrial plants have attended the conferences in the past.
A. Sluss Plans Program
T o S how Advances
In Field of Welding
Under the hard-surfacing process, an oxy-acetylene flame under proper conditions can be applied to a steel surface and give the surface an extra hardness. The process is especially useful for the re-hardening of wearing surfaces or gears, and can be applied to gears in places.
A. H. Stuss, professor of mechanical engineering, has been arranging the program. Session chairmen will include Prof. F. A. Russell and Prof. R. W. Warner of the School of Engineering and Architecture, and Prof. LaMotte Grover of Kansas State College. Chancellor Lindley will speak briefly at the opening session Thursday morning.
Still another fairly new process in the field is known as "magnifac", by which a certain powder susceptible to magnetic influence, if exposed to an electric field, will form in clusters along any crack or fault in the metal surface.
P. G. Lang, Jr., chief bridge engineer of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and president of the American Welding Society, on his way home from the Congress of Engineers in California, will stop for the conference here, and will deliver the closing address. He, and others interested, will go to Kansas City for the annual meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Welding Society that evening.
"Once," said Dr. Ramal, "and that is all any man is allowed—there is only the violence and no sign of escape from it... Mussolini's hand is clearly a hand of destiny, but hardly an altogether happy destiny."
Kansas: Unsettled and somewha colder Tuesday.
WEATHER
President Roosevelt has a hand that shows great independence and action. Dr. Ramaland said. His liberal and progressive ideas go hand in hand with his almost pure spatulate type of palm. A great generosity and independence of thought and will is also indicated, as is gifted oratory and the faculty of being a good business man.
"The President's line of destiny," said Dr. Randall, "is a most fortunate one for anyone in a public career ... it shows creative force and the helpful influence of others. The termination of his line of destiny points to an exceedingly happy marriage, also influential in bringing success."
Dr. Ranald is a graduate of the University of Vienna and was a student in the Sigmund Freud School of Applied Psychanalysis.
Union Bids For Student Interest
Operating Committee
Announces Plan To Set
Up St u d e n t Officers
And Directors
Sweeping changes in the executive organization of the Memorial Union, designed to increase student interest in the activities of the Union, were effected yesterday in a plan commended by the Union Operating Committee.
The plan created three student officers and a board of five student directors for the Student Union of the University and provided for the appointment of 11 student committees, all to be under direct supervision of the Union Operating Committee.
Modeled after plans now in force in several Big Ten schools, the new system was established after two meetings of the U.O.C. in which proposals of a sub-committee were amended and nassed.
With no further action on the plan necessary, either from student or administrative sources, it becomes clear that when it was said by committee officials.
Calls for Appropriation of $200
Acceptance of the plan by the Union Operating Committee also called for an appropriation of $200 immediately for its execution. It was further urged in the proposal that plans be planned "in the near future for the proposed new room and that arrangements be made for the housing of the various offices of the coming year."
"One purpose of the plan," said Ienry Werner, U.O.C. chairman, "a give those students who would like to be in extra-curricular activ-

M.S.C Asks For Relations Board
Proposed Committee Of Students and Faculty Members Will Hear Criticisms
Definite action toward establishment of a permanent student-faculty relations board was taken last night when the men's Student Council approved a proposal to set up a temporary committee.
The board, as outlined in the M.-S.C. plan, would consist of four students—two men and two women, two faculty members, and a chairman who is to be a faculty member chosen by the board.
Under the M.S.C. plan, the student members of the board would be chosen by their respective governing bodies, not necessarily from the members of those bodies. Selection of the faculty representatives would be made by the University Senate.
Action of the Council is subject to approval or change by the W.S.-G.A. or the University senate before the board is finally set up. Consent of all three groups is necessary because each group with a board could be put into effect.
Have No Corrective Powers
Purpose of the proposed board is to provide some means through which students may make suggestions or criticism of teaching methods or curriculum in the school that appeal to such a board should come through a senior majoring in the department concerned.
While such a joint faculty-student board would have no corrective powers, it could hear complaints or suggestions from students and could make recommendations to departing faculty of its reaction to the suggestions.
Asking active support of the W.-S.G.A. and co-operation from the faculty, the council set up a committee of five to inaugurate a survey of curriculum and methods in every department. Expenditures up to $10 were authorized for this survey, which will be presented atertation to any faculty-student relation board which may be organized.
Asked To Co-operate
This committee also was asked to co-operate with present groups such as the Dean's Advisory Committee and the Freshman Council. Mem-

'Arm to the Hilt' Says Chamberlain
London, March 14—(UP)—Great Britain tonight rung to complete the greatest armament program in her history as an侵入者. The move was of Austria.
In a ringing speech before the House of Commons, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain challenged the German invasion of Central Europe with a vigorous denunciation of the new threat to the European balance of powers. He warned that Berlin would arm to the half to defend her empire interest.
Without making direct commitment as to British participation with France in an effort to protect Czechoslovakia from a similar Germanic "coup," Chamberlain never left the clear implication that Britain would go to war if necessary to protect herself.
It was understood that the cabinet, at an emergency session before Chamberlin addressed the Commons, had decided to delay any decision on the French request for a declaration of policy with respect to the government the government could consult with the dominion governments.
Chamberlain's pronouncement of foreign policy, made before a turbulent session of the House of Commons, carefully skirted any outright declaration of what Britain should do about the "penetration" program across the Czech front, now the powder keg of Europe.
Permission For Autopsy Is Denied
Parents of St udent
Refuse To Allow Post
Mortem; Will Hold Inquest Tomorrow
Permission for an autopsy on the body of Mildred Sturt, ed'38, yesterday was refused by her father. A friend, Kansas City Land-scape gardener.
Death Self-Inflicted
An inquest was called after Stuart was quoted in a published statement yesterday morning that he did not know his daughter took her own life.
Decision for the post mortem was prompted by an inquest called by Dr. L. K. Zimmer, county coroner, to be hold tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Dr. H. P. Jones and Deputy Sheriff George Price drove to Kansas City yesterday to perform the autopsy but it was refused. The TV actor, Matthew Kansas City coroner or physician to perform the post mortem after the first refusal but permission was again denied.
“There is no doubt in my mind but the death was self-inflicted.” Charles Springer, county attorney, said yesterday, “but I have suggested an inquest to make public all evidence available in the case.”
Five officers, a deputy sheriff, and a justice of peace, acting as coroner in the absence of Doctor Zimmer, were called to the scene of the death by Clarence Davis, North Lawrence farmer, who discovered the body of the student strangled by her coat belt which was fastened to a fence near Bismarch Grove, Saturday morning.
"According to all investigating officers, there was no indication of anything save suicide." Jude Anderson, chief of police, said yester-
The body was taken to Kansas City early yesterday morning by the Funk mortuary and funeral ser-
vice for this morning at 10 o'clock.
Although the parents deny that Miss Stuart attempted suicide during Christmas holidays, Chief Anwang said she was in an attempt to take her life, according to the reports he has received from her friends.
Leano Last One To Be With Her
Pedro Leano, b'unch, is the last person known to be with Miss Stuart before her death. Leano told police that he met her at Watkins library, Friday evening, and walked with her to Fourteenth street and Oread where they parted at approximately 6:30 o'clock.
Leano told officers that she seemed very despondent when he last saw her and that she told him she had decided to abide by her parents' desire not to see him again or to continue their acquaintance.
Miss Stuart had consulted Dr. E. T. Gibson, Kansas City payee. She was a dedicated activist and advised that she take a larger part in university activities.
