St. Matthew Passion Is Given Here Under direction of Fritz Mahler, many elements combined to give a deeply rewarding performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion at the Bushnell Memorial auditorium Sunday night. There were five estimable soloists, including Marquita Moll, soprano; Betty Lou Allen, mezzo-soprano; Walter Fredericks, tenor, who sang the Evangelist; Chester Watson, bassbaritone, who sang the role of Jesus; and Richard Park, as Judas, Peter, Pilate and the High Priest. There were the 135 or so members of the Hartford Symphony Chorale handsomely prepared by Robert S.

Brawley, and the boys' choirs from St. John's Church and St. Justin's and Kingswood schools, directed by Clarence Watters, F. Francis Crowley and Stanley R. Waterman, respectively.

There were Mr. Brawley himself as organist, and Daniel Pinkham, one of the country's most distinguished harpsichordists. And there were some 50 members of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, for it was the of the Symphony Society of Greater Hartford that this performance of the Bach work was given. All In Perspective It might been a case of too many cooks, but it indeed was not. Mr.

Mahler had fitted the components together most astutely. Not too much chorus to bow down the small but choice orchestra. Not to much orchestra to frenzy the singers. The harpsichord, to many listeners usually a frail instrument, filled its niche clearly and firmly. And the soloists were allowed to work against this temperate, finely balanced background with as much vocal and dramatic impact as they saw fit.

They saw very fitly indeed. Mr. Mahler's whole concept of the Bach Passion was on the introspect side. There was no florid musicmaking or flamboyant performance here. The drama he conveyed rather through a kind of intense quietude and the sweet and poignant color and mood of the music itself.

I am free to admit that at the outset, the temper and tone of the performance seemed pitched a little too low. But as the performance progressed, one became impressed with how right it really was, a meditation upon more than a taking part in a sacrificial drama. All this was no better summed up than in the close of the performance. There was long and ardent applause, but the audience reaction was better observed in the protracted silence that hung over the house right after the final notes had been sung and played. The audience had patently been plunged into a depth of meditation and rapture itself, all of a piece with the performance, a spell that everyone hesitated to break for quite a few moments.

Soloists' Contribution The soloists all sang very well. Miss Moll was substituting for Madelaine Chambers, whom illness prevented from appearing. Her voice was light and ethereal. Miss Allen. well beloved here, sang with all the velvet beauty of her opulent voice and all the patrician taste that have been her high attributes for so long now.

Mr. Fredericks' clear tenor was the flame that illuminated the Evangelist's account of The Passion. The strongest dramatic moments were from Mr. Watson in the role of Jesus. Mr.

Park sang the remnant roles neatly. thought neither the chorale or the orchestra had together in such rewardingly transparent, delicate yet communicative performance here before. The diction of the singers was not as lucid as sometimes perhaps, but their musical quality was elegant. The men and women of the orchestra played warmly and expressively, and I was particularly caught up by the playing of Gerald Gelbloom, the concertmaster, and Carl Bergner, flute, in many eloquent passages. It is only too bad that so sensitive a performance of such a great work as this Bach Passion was heard by so few KING GETS EARFUL: Youthful King Hussein of Jordan, who hit the headlines when he recently fired Lt.

Trucks Move Up winter that refused to die spawned another snowstorm in the Northeast Sunday, bringing the death toll to 82 and imperiling highway travel with ice and snow drifts. Spring was officially scheduled to bow in Tuesday, but stalled iconglazed, roads, shovels slushy were streets the order of the day from Vir- The new storm, coming on the heels of Friday's combination northeaster and blizzard, grew out of a low pressure area in West Virginia and moved diagonally across the Northeast in the general direction of New England. Snow was reported in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Weather Bupredicted the newcomer would lay a blanket of up to six inches over the area. Sand trucks moved out to help clear up traffic snarls on many major highways and bridges.

Ike Snowbound Among the snowbound was President Eisenhower, who gave up the idea of returning to Washington when a five-inch snow pileup closed roads in the vicinity of his Gettysburg, farm. But like a boy suddenly let out of school, the President seemed to enjoy the weather and trudged about his farm in a snowy morning constitutional. Meanwhile, the effects of Friday's storm lingered.

In addition to the deaths directly attributable to the storm, three elderly women perished in a Boston apartment house fire. Snow and parked cars hampered fire engines trying the build. ing. The new storm quickly added to the death tally. Three women and a man died in a two-car collision on an ice-slick highway near Warrentown, Va.

THE HARTFORD COURANT: Monday, March 19, 1956 17 Scientists Reach Into Sky To Tap Vast Power Source BALTIMORE, March 18 (P) The Air Force announced today its scientists have achieved the first step in unlocking a vast new power potential by reaching into the sky to release energy chemically stored by the sun in the upper atmosphere.

The air research top development command (ARDC) here said the achievement was a "major breakthrough" and came when a rocket was sent 60 miles above the earth from Holloman Air Development Center in New Mexico to release nitric oxide gas under high pressure. This indicated by several billion times the natural amount of nitric oxide in the atmosphere, the ARDC said, creating a flood of light. The light was "chemically stored sunlight" in huge quantities. The experiments, the ARDC said, may eventually lead to means of extracting this energy of suckers ships high in the for as propulsion earth's atmosphere. Like New Star The ARDC said that when the nitric oxide was released.

observers said the resulting flood of light appeared to be the formation of a bright new star. The light spread, and in less than 10 minutes the "star" had grown in size so that it seemed from the about four times the diameter the moon. earth, The ARDC said that spot of -(light spread to approximately three miles in width before the nitric oxide gas thinned out and reduced the brightness of the light. The chemical reaction was an achievement, the announcement said, that had been "the subject of speculation by geophysicists for the past 10 years." Seen 60 Miles Away The light was observed from up to 60 miles away from the ARDC launching site at the Holloman Center. of Dr.

Murray Zelikoff of the Working under, the direction Air Force Cambridge Research Center, the Scientists discovered in the laboratory that. energy locked in atomic oxygen could be released by the addition of nitric oxide, a gas, the announcement explained. It said nitric oxide has property of bringing two oxygen atoms together to form an oxygen molecule and release light. The gas is not used up in the process, but is used over and over again without exhaustion. The light thus produced is actually sunlight which has been stored chemically in the oxygen atoms, the air force explained.

Working with Dr. Zelikoff and also responsible for the ment, the ARDC said, were: Dr. Frederick Marmo, Jerome Pressman, Adolph Jursa and Leonard Aschenbrand, all members of the Cambridge Research Center's Geophysics Research directorate.

Stevenson." Kefauver was gaining on Stevenson in farming territory and small towns two days in advance of this first conclusive headon test between the two candidates in the 1956 primary elections. Kefauver himself said he thinks he wil take four or five of Minnesota's congressional districts and run better in rural areas than in Minneapolis and St. Pau, Even in the Twin Cities, he said, the margin is narrowing. Regardless of what happens in the primary, or in other primaries to come, Kefauver said, he intends to remain a candidate for the nomination right up to national convention time next August. He added that, of course, he doesn't expect to make a bad showing in the upcoming primaries and predicted he into the convention with more delegates" he had for the one in 1952.
