A rtur Rubinstein Displays 'Superb Musicianship’ By BETTY BENNETT CRAMER An amazing grasp of pianistic facultiles and superb musician ship was shown by Artur Rubinstein in McArthur court Wed nesday evening. At no time has this reviewer heard a more brilliant technique and a more exactly controlled line. In his opening number, the famous Beethoven “Appassionata Sonata” Rubinstein was at his best. He effectively brought out all climaxes, making an intellec tual as well as technical triumph of the work. Especially was the adagio satisfying as Mr. Rubin stein's perfectly controlled line was evident in the theme and its varia tions. The finale, with its subtle changes and sudden bursts of passion again illustrated Mr. Rubinstein’s complete mastery and understanding of Beethoven. Delicate Chopin In his Chopin group, the “Noc turne in F Sharp” was the most outstanding because of Mr. Rubin stein’s magnificent tone quality and delicacy of expression. The “Barcarolle in F Sharp,” “Etudes” and the "A Flat Polonaise,” how ever, were presented with high feeling and brilliancy. In the latter, his middle octave passage was played with amazing vigor. Contrasting Debussy In a contrasting mood to the former group, Mr. Rubinstein played two Debussy numbers, “Prelude in A Minor” and “La Plus que Lente.” Both displayed the artist’s ingenuity of interpreta tion and adaptability to the modern idiom. Mr. Rubintsein plajyed “Navarra" by Albeniz with much color and power. His ease in pro ducing sudden fortissimos and pianissimos was again noticed in this selection. Granados’ “The Maiden and the Nightengale” was interpreted with heart-rendering pathos. In De Falla’s “Ritual Dance of Fire,” the pianist showed imagina tion and dynamic power to the very ends of his fingers. The second of Gershwin’s "Three Preludes,” Chopin’s “Waltz in A Flat,” and "Polichinelle” by Villa-Lobos were played as encores. Student Resolutions (Continued from page one) Frese the veto power is an over emphasis on continued national soveriegnty. It permits a nation to pass judgment on the validity of its own actions. The veto is in consistent with Anglo-American judicial processes. Occupation 3. That after the period of military occupation is over occu pied nations come under the juris diction of the United Nations and provide international passports to people without nationality. Miss McConkey believes there will be a gap between the end of purely mili tary occupation and the time when the government of the oc cupied country could carry on a completely functioning peaceful government, and that this gap should be filled in by the,United Nations. Upon acceptance by the As; sembly, the nations could become a member of the UN, she added. MacArthur’s duties in the Philip pines were cited as an example of the necessity for someone or some thing to supervise and assist the CLAYPOOL'S DRUG 886 13th St. Phone 1086 The new glittering Spring scarlet for your nails and lips “Firefly” is a singing, lilting, young color — a scarlet bursting with the new excite ment of glitter that you’ll find in all the fashion world.

Atomic bomb secret kept until reliable world organization set up to handle it. Civilian con trol within United States of America of all atomic energy. It is the belief of Frese that the atomic bomb is not a secret and should not be considered the property of America—it belongs to all of the world. “At the moment it is a big club hindering progress toward world government,” he said. He added that a civilian commission would be more competent to de velop atomic energy for the good of the world than any military control. 5. Every nation give necessary funds and power to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organiza tion.) Hallock believes there is not much controversy over this resolu tion. Dean Morris declared that larger nations would contribute more than small nations. British Loan 6. Approve United States loan to Britain and advocate further re ciprocal trade treaties which gradually aim toward unrestricted trade. This is connected with part 4 of resolution 9 entitled “We ad vocate unrestricted trade.” Miss McConkey believes a loan to Britain and all other needy com mercial nations is necessary to re vive the commercial relations be tween countries. “The United States aided the European nations during the war,” she said, V'and we can’t stop now just because the war is over.” The emergency is still with us.” She advocated further reciprocal trade treaties with a gradual aim toward unresticted trade. 7. Bring all social and economic organiaztions which deal with in ternational phases of control under the United Nations including a world university. Miss McConkey stated that under this resolution an International monetary fund, a bank for reconstruction and de velopment, an interim aviation commission, and an itnernational labor organization would be in cluded. Trusteeship 8. All nations not self-governing,1 states affected by the war, be placed under the Trusteeship council. “This would be of special advantage in framing the peace treaties because it would eliminate the inevitable haggling over the control of these states,” Miss Bruhn said. She added that this would place such countries as Indo-China, Java and India under the portection of the United Na tions, while forming their govern ments and making initial attempts to administer for themselves. 9. United States Department of Education take definite steps to educate the people in ifnernational affairs and principles of United Nations. “This will allow students to go abroad,” Hallock stated. “The cost will be defrayed by the country he is visiting and in turn foreign countries will send students to our land and we will take care of their expenses.” Federation 9. Part one. That United Na tions be transformed according to a specified time schedule and pro cedure into a World Federation. Frese believes that World Govern ment is essential to world peace, and that there must be Legisla tive, Executive, and Judicial branches of WTorld Government. 9. Part two. That a principal representative body of the United Nations be vested legislative power to make international law, r ymamm f 61 E. Broadway lien's Clothing (.lifts, Luggage including, a Bill of Human. Bights, binding upon all nations. "Such a growth would be analogous to our own history,” Miss Bruhn declared. “When we discarded the Articles of Confederation to adopt the con stitution the states relinquished their sovereignty to allow the federal government to assume cer tain Specified powers, such as that to regulate the commerce between the states and with other nations. “If the Bill of Human Rights were enacted all peoples of the world would possess the freedoms which we enjoy, including speech, as sembly, the pr.ess and religious worship,” Miss Bruhn declared, “and certain economic rights would probably be incorporated in such a bill.” Withdrawing 9. Part three. An article be in serted in the United Nations Charter denying a nation’s right to withdraw from membership and recognition of a government by the UN, is recognition by all mem bers. According to Frese the na tions could then give up their rights and privileges birt -not their duties and obHgatkms., He added that decisions realized even in absence of’ any- nation: would still establish definite' and .automatic recognition would eliminate much of the political friction between nations. Due to a lack of time the as sembly was adjourned before a complete discussion of all the reso^ lutions could take place. “We would like to hold a night meeting to continue this discussion, since a great deal of interest is evident,’’ Miss McConkey declared. The assembly was. opened by ASUO president Ed Allen. “Was your friend shocked over the death of his mother-in-law?" “Shocked! He was electrocuted." ^CLASSIFIED LOST: Bracelet, silver hand wrought.
