firms, Merritt, Chapman & Scott,
construction and marine salvage
firm, earned $99,000 more during
one period of last year than in
the same period in 1953.
New York Shipbuilding Corp.,
he said, made $4,186,000 before
taxes in 1954, as compared with
$3,217,000 In 1953.
He said a third Wolfson-con
trolled corporation, the Devoe 8t
Raynolds paint firm, did SO per
cent better in five months of
1954 than the previous manage
ment had done in seven months
of 1953.
Mr. Wolfson said if he loses
a proxy battle at a Ward stock
holders’ meeting in Chicago
April 22, he intends to continue
the fight.
He said he would oust the
present directors of Ward's ‘‘if it
takes the rest of my life.”
Asked if he thought he and
Mr. Avery could work together.
Mr. Wolfson replied:
“I’d like the opportunity to
have Mr. Avery in a minority
position.”

has been described as “the great
est teacher of singing among
composers, and the greatest com
poser among teachers of sing
ing.” The remark is brilliant,
and it may be unjust. Porpora
has to his credit the teaching of
the caatrato Farinelli, a tenor of
great reputation, universally
considered unequalled by almost
everyone who heard him and has
left a record of his opinion. On
the other hand, the sonata in G,
played last night, published in
1754, Is a piece of great vitality
and melodic charm. The flirt
movement seems evidence that
Porpora knew the Bach cha
cone, written about 35 years
earlier.
The suite of Kurt Roger, a
Washington composer, is a con
trapuntal piece of good craft
manship and of decided musical
interest. The composer was
present to acknowledge the warm
applause of the audience.
The comparative neglect of
the Schumann A minor sonata
Is a shame, for among the works
of this composer, it is an excep
tion to the trend that shows a
falling-off of creative power in
Schumann’s later years. The
sonata is a rich and warm ro
mantic piece of great beauty.
After intermission, the Kreu-
tzer Sonata. Beethoven’s famous
double concerto without orches
tra, was played with great brav
ura on the part of both per
formers. During the wonderful
variations. remembrance of
Tolstoy’s bitterness about this
sonata, which seemed to the great
writer an unjustifiable display of
indecence, lead to the reflection
that as men grow older they have !
very peculiar tastes.
