The present trend, he told a University of North Carolina au dience, is "rapidly becoming a course of economic isolation" and If it continues, "time will pass us by." The people, he said, must give thought to the part this country is to play In international affairs a part to be determined In large measure in the next six years. This, he said, was why "I stress the importance to our nation of the present 80th Congress."

Mc Lean of being a juvenile delin quent, Kratt explained the pur pose behind modern music. Discard Form "Ultra modern composers," he explained, "have discarded ail form and write their music ac cording to whatever come into their minds." He played a short modem composition called "The Streamlined Train," and pointed out that it could be classed as "utilitarian." "Like modern art," he said, "it was never meant to appeal to the emotions. It must be understood by the listener just what the piece is intended to describe. And if it is expressed sincerely and in good taste, then it is art." Ugliness as well as beauty have a place in modern art, Dean Kratt asserted, "because our ideas of beauty and ugliness are constant ly changing." Express Shifts He maintained that modern mu sic and art are simply an expies sion of the world of art moving along in step with the modern world of gadgets and other new inventions.
