It was some thing of a revelation to hear him execute standard numbers, such as Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in C Minor”; Mozart’s “Rondo in F Major, K.494” and Beethoven’s “Sonata in E-flat Major, op. 81a” and to find that he had discov ered something in them others had overlooked. To sum up his art: Mr. Davenny is a virtuoso to whom technique is means to an end. He is a painter, a poet, a stylist and a bard. Under his nimble fingers Bar tok's “Suite, op. 14” acquired a communicative, chatty character. ! He compelled the composer to talk through the piano and made his music entertaining. One could truly appreciate its originality, va riety and humor and even love its dissonances. This is more than Bartok himself ever succeeded in doing during his several appear ances here. Guided by a refined artistic sense for light and shade, the pianist gave a fascinating per formance of Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue.’ His Bach appealed to the imagination; it sparkled, it was eloquent, facile. Not that the de livery was entirely free from minor 72 Diplomas Awarded By Holy Cross Academy Holy Cross Academy presented diplomas to 72 seniors in cere* monies yesterday which followed a mass and the receiving of com munion by the graduates.

And thus was his playing of Beethoven’s famous "Farewell” sonata in which he dis | played again his amazing tech nical, intellectual and emotional | control. Mr. Davenny’s tone is vibrant, j alive and sonorous without being • forced. He can be appropriately ' grandiose, bold, romantic and ten der in a manner suited to the style of each composer. His runs are one of the most exciting parts of his art. They have a physiog nomy of their own and always form a part of a design or a phrase. The artist is one of the few pianists whose playing does not tire Its buoyancy is engaging and refreshing. Festival Concluded. The National Gallery Orchestra concluded its seventh American Music Festival in the Gallery last night. Richard Bales, £he con ductor, brought out for the first time the “Adagio” from an un familiar suite for strings com posed by Parks Grant. This was the only novelty on the program which listed Howe’s “Agreeable Overture”; McKay’s melodious “Folksong Suite for Strings, op.48,” based on old Negro songs, collected in 1861 in the Port Royal Islands, S. C.; Ives’ cleverly contrived “Symphony No. 3”; Alba Rosa Victor’s poignant “Primavera Lombarda,” composed for last year’s festival; “Prairie Night” and "Saturday Celebra tion” from Copland’s “Billy the Kid” and “The Sesquicentennial” by the march king, John Philip Sousa, written for the Philadel phia Sesquicentennial in 1926. Mme. Vietor, a former resident of Washington, now in New York, was at the concert. She was called forward to acknowledge enthusi astic applause from the large audience. Prospects Brightened For Rail Settlement as Strike Is Called Off By the Associated Press ^ threatened strike of rail switchmen this week has been called off as prospects brightened for settlement of their wage-hour dispute with 10 Western railroads. The AFL Switchmen’s Union of North America had scheduled the walkout for Thursday, after post poning it once at the urging of Federal mediators. The switch men are seeking a 40-hour week at the same pay they now get for 48 hours, plus extra pay for Saturdays and 8undays. Chairman Francis A. O’Neill, jr„ of the National Mediation Board announced the cancellation of the strike over the week end. The strike threat involved 6,000 switchmen in vital yard service on lines west of Chicago. Mr. O’Neill said the union re served the right to call its strike later, but added: “I believe no further strike call will be necessary.” Truffles grow in clusters under ground and are found by dogs or pigs trained to recognize their dis tinctive smell. Israel Affirms Right of U. N. to Control of Jerusalem Shrines •y m» Auociatad Prau LAKE SUCCESS, May 29 —The government of Israel has acknowl edged the right of the United Nations to control the holy shrines of three religions in Jerusalem. It still opposes international rule over all of Jerusalem, de manded by the 1949 U. N. Assem bly. But Israel offered a com promise proposal yesterday to Roger Garreau, president of the U. N. Trusteeship Council which meets here beginning Thursday. The compromise would give the1 U. N. complete authority over the holy places in Jerusalem and re lated religious matters, including keeping them in repair and help ing pilgrims visit them. Up until now, the Israel government has been willing to grant only U. N. supervision of the shrines under Episcopal Laymen To Plan Activities Leading laymen of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington will meet at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the library of Jhe Washington Cathe dral to plan for active lay partici pation in the work of the church during the coming year. The Right Rev. Angus Dun, Bishop of Washington, will discuss activities in which the group will be asked to participate. lan agreement among the U. N.. Israel and Jordan. Jordan and Israel control sep arate sectors of Jerusalem undet a military truce. Most of the shrines are in the old walled city controlled by Jordan. The last General Assembly or dered the Trusteeship Council to frame a statute giving the U. N. complete control, administrative and otherwise, of all Jerusalem. Russia, most of the Arab states and Catholic countries in Latin America banded together to adopt the project over the bitter pro tests by Israel and Jordan. The United States. Britain and some other countries agreed that the plan was unworkable. The Trusteeship Council went ahead and drafted the statute. Israel and Jordan both said they would never accept it. Russia suddenly withdrew her support. Israel has also suggested an al ternate plan to Mr. Garreau. It may embarrass Jordan. The Is raelis said they would co-operate in creating an international re gime '•limited to the territory! where the holy places are mostly concentrated—an area of It* square miles within the walled city and its immediate environs.” The Israelis pointed out that Jordan would have to back down on its opposition to any Interna tional regime before something like that could work. An Israel statement said that under its scheme of giving the U. N. supervision of the holy places. " Jerusalem would become the first place in the world where the U. N. was permanently repre sented as the custodian of inter national interests."* |.
