sette and Yvette Roman included a delightful blend of old and modern classics as well as duo and solo performances, the audience was obviously more pleased with the selections by the later composers. While their interpretation of such classical composers as Clementi, Chopin and Schubert was more than adequate, the enchanting sisters themselves seemed to derive more pleasure from the later works of Debussy, SaintSacns and Gershwin. Their technique, referred to as a “champagne style” by various noted critics throughout the United States, was evident most of the evening, both in the choice of program numbers and in their manner of presenting them. The girls have been in the United States for several years but their French origin is obyious, not only

in ths accents of their speech, but also in thsir musical ability. Last night's pianists showed close to perfect coordination and their pianistic styles are almost identical. Each had ample opportunity to display superb solo ability, Yvette choosing a ballade and’a scherzo by Chopin for her solo performance and Josette presenting Debussy and SaintSaens. Gershwin’s familiar Raphsody in Blue, transcribed for two pianos by the Roman sisters, made a memorable finale to the program. For this number the artists were able to discard the "champagne style’’ and exhibited a genuine appreciation of the American jazz idiom. < Enthusiastic concert-goers called the Roman sisters back for three encores. The audience gave hearty applause to endorse the program of the opening concert. Following the concert, the Roman sisters met members of the local association in an informal reception at the community center.

Discover Drug For High Blood Pressure Two Doctors Report Discovery Os Drug BOSTON (UP) — Two doctors, one of them the incoming president of the American Heart Assn., Monday night announced discovery of a drug they said promised new hope for 15 to 20 million Americans suffering from high blood pressure. The drug, named chlorothiazide, Was expected to be ready by next January. It was reported to be in production now and available as samples to doctors. Dr. Robert W, Wilkins, 50, a native of Chattanooga, Tenn., and president-elect of the American Heart Assn., and Dr. William Hollander. 32, of Waltham, Mass., made the announcement at Massachusetts Memorial Hospitals, where they are on the staff. They said the discovery, producing a “startling new cure," would aid in the 25-year battle against America’s most common form of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure, or hypertension, reduces life expectancy of most sufferers by as much as 20 years and strikes at the average age of 32. Wilkins and Hollander based their opinion of chlorothiazide’s effectiveness on tests made of 51 hypertension patients in Boston during the past eight months. Among their findings was that chlorothiazide tablets were not aqly a potent diuretic but appeared directly responsible for a lowering of blood pressure, when used in combination with current treatments. {They also found that the drug was effective in controlling the blood pressure of highly resistant cases, and was useful in management of hypertension complicated by .heart failure.
