PRO ARTE QUARTET DISPLAYS SUPERB MUSICIANSHIP
By William White
Displaying superb musicianship, the Pro Arte string quartet presented the third of a series of five recitals, the gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, in Bovard auditorium yesterday afternoon, playing the Quartet No. 14 in D minor of Franz Schubert, the Second Quartet of Walter Piston, and
Mozart's E-flat major Quartet, K. +-——-
428. At the request of Prof. Pauline j Alderman, tne quartet played Hay- ■ j dn’s exquisite “Eighteenth Century j ( Dance” as an encore.
The Pro Arte group made much of Schubert. Intelligent use of dy- j namics in chamber music reached ; its highest development in Schubert’s compositions for string quartet. Written two years before the composer's death, the D-minor is the last but one of a series of 15 quartets in which Schubert shows himself increasingly conscious of the dynamic limitations and possibilities of four string instruments.

Airliner
Is Still
Missing
Reward ol $1000 Is Oiiered lo Anyone Finding Lost ?lane
FRESNO, March 6— (U.P)—Baffled after five days of unsuccessful searching for a missing airliner in the mountains east of Fresno,
Transcontinental and Western Airways, incorporated, tonight offered a reward of $1,000 to the person who leads a company official to the wreck.
Jack Frye, president of the company, announced the reward as he led a fleet of searching planes into the rugged Sierra Nevadas. There has been no word from th plane or its nine occupants since 9:28 p.m.
Tuesday, after Pilot Jack Graves had turned back over the Tehacha-pis during a rainstorm.
Cloudy weather cleared up today in time for five planes to leave Fresno by noon. It was hoped that enough snow might melt to aid in sighting the plane from the air before later snowstorms completely block all rescue attempts.
PLANE IN LAKE AREA
Company officials in Freseno are convinced the plane is in the Shaver and Bass lake area 60 miles northeast of Fresno, since the plane was heard and sighted near there shortly before its last radio report.
Rugged terrain and fresh snows have made the air and ground search increasingly difficult with each passing day.
Those aboard the plane besides Graves were Co-Pilot C. W. Wallace, 29, San Francisco; Stewardess Martha M. Wilson. 23, Philadelphia;
Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Waltz, of San Francisco; J. Tracy Dirlam. 22, and his sister, Mary Lou Dirlam, 18, both of Stanford university; Hervey M. Salisbury, 31, TWA first officer, riding as a passenger, and Victor Krause, of Lincoln, Neb.
CALLS HEARD
A radio amateur, attempting to contact Japan on his short wave set, reported he heard the exchange of calls between the transport and near the German-Czech borders, the ground station.
Greve and Collins were following a lead provided by highway patrolman. Floyd Yoder yestereday when he sighted a column of smoke in the Sieerra back country. Greve, Collins. and two others went to a fire lookout promontory last night in hope of sighting signal fires, but a storm obscured visibility:

AUSTRIAN NAZIS STAGE MUTINY' AGAINST FATHERLAND FRONT
VIENNA, March 6 —(U.P.)— Hundreds of young Nazis, cheering Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and wearing forbidden uniforms, staged noisy demonstrations in the streets tonight in defiance of a government radio warning that drastic measures I have been ordered to combat their “undisciplined mutiny.
As the young Nazis began their *-
parade through the streets other young men of the government’s own fatherland front hurriedly organized counter-demonstrations in support of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg.
Authorities, fearing clashes, organized police reserves including 300 heavily-armed officers who returned to Vienna during the evening from Linz, Nazi stronghold in upper Austria close by Hitler’s birthplace.
WARNING MADE
The government’s warning against “mutiny” was made by Schuschnigg’s closest collaborator. Minister without Portfolio Guido Zernatto who is secretary general of the fatherland front.
“Let those who trample the laws to the right or left of the road be warned—we shall bring them back to the hard pavement,” he said, obviously warning both Nazis and Socialists.
Schuschnigg’s February 12 agreement with Hitler at Berchtesgaden, he said, included terms forming one entity and “that peace will break down altogether if one party tries to observe only those points which are agreeable to them while disregarding the others.”
THREE WEEKS DISORDERS The disorders of the last three weeks throughout Austria, he said, were directed not only against Austria but against Germany as well.
“The government is prepared to take drastic action against these disturbers of the German peace.”
When Dr. Arthur von Seyss-Inquart, Nazi interior minister in the Schuschnigg cabinet, departed from Linz for Vienna tonight, a guard of honor in the uniform of storm troopers, was at the station. Last night he told wildly jubilant Nazis that although they may use the Hitler salute such uniforms were forbidden in Austria.
Earlier Seyss-Inquart motored from Linz to an unknown destination. It was rumored to be Aigen,

WASHINGTON, March 6—(UP.)— Chairman Arthur E. Morgan of the Tennessee Valley authority said tonight that he does not intend to resign despite the fact that he is in apparent disfavor at the White House and at odds with his two codirectors.
He made his position known by authorizing publication of a letter he sent to Rep. Maury Maverick, D.. Texas, on February 14 denouncing his colleagues, David E. Lilien-thal and Harcourt A. Morgan, and reiterating his demands for a congressional investigation of the new deal power agency.
Morgan telegraphed the authorization from Clermont, Fla., where he is vacationing.
The chairman apparently was motivated by President Roosevelt’s action of last Friday in releasing a joint statement from Lilienthal and Harcourt Morgan in which they assailed their associate as an obstructionist and suggested he quit.
The fact that the chief executive released the statement, although without comment, was interpreted as an unvoiced request that Morgan step out.

O'CONNOR ASKS WAGE LAW
Action Demanded by Committee Chairman
WASHINGTON, March 8—<U*— Squirming under reports that house leaders have sabotaged President Roosevelt's wages-hours legislation. Chairman John J. O’Connor o# the rules committee tonight demanded that a start be made on “thia momentous problem” before congress adjourns.
He issued a statement saying that
he will be “greatly disappointed” H a “flexible” wages bill is not enacted at this session, saying that the workers are “concerned with their government's assuring some minimum wages which will lift them out of starvation and some maximum hours that will free them from industrial slavery.”
The committee, although devoid of a legislative status and in existence only to safeguard and expedite administration legislation, pigeon-holed the wages bill at the first seession of the 75th congress.
