Blind in Air-

Times Speclal =~ NEW YORK. Feb. 14—Alec Templketon, blind English pianist, is working out a plan with United States defense officials whereby other blind men and women might be trained as spotters to detect the _ aproach of enemy aircraft. =. The plan is regarded as feasible # in that the sense of hearing of many blind persons becomes abnor- # mally acute because of their sight5 lessness. At the same time the plan w. would enable blind persons, who now w feel helpless, to participate in the '% defense efforts of the country. = Mr. Templeton, whose own sense ~ of hearing is developed to a state of “ unbelievable acuteness, has just con- ~ ferred with Dr. John H. Hall, deputy vice commander of the American Legion in Massachusetts and chairman "of National Defense for that . state, and at Dr, Hall's request gave 3 Y his views. * The plan originally was that of Dr. Hall, who, with other American Legion officials in the country, has been asked by the Army to correlate the work of spotting. “The first essential is that the spotter should have perfect pitch,” Mr. Templeton said. “He should also be tested to see if he can detect unusual sounds, or sounds which can only be detected underneath the sounds which can be vheard by an ordinary listerer. In my particular case I have been able s to train my ears to act in place of “my eyes only after long and careful listening to all sounds and noise and by questioning persons with sight “The spotter should be tested as to what overtones he can hear in

any given sound, and the vibra-

tones. proaching has one single drone or note, but two, even traveling in the same direction and at the same speed, have a definite wabble or vibration, different pitch and rhythm. It is also possible to distinguish between various types of planes in an approaching air fleet.” Mr. Templeton said that these properly trained men and women would be placed at the instruments now used by the Army to detect the approach of aircraft. Dr. Hall asked him to suggest candidates for spotters, but Mr. Templeton referred him to the Watertown Institute of the Blind, in Boston. The blind pianist also enlisted the aid of Paul Giuliana, a friend, who is a graduate of the New England Conservatory and who now is working for his doctorate of music at Harvard. “Iam going to prepare a test for Dr. Hall,” Mr. Templeton said today at the Hotel Gotham. “Blind men and women who wish to enlist in this plan for spotting will be given the test, and those who pass a set point, who indicate they have a good sense of pitch, will be taken in training for the work.”

Here in Indianapolis, Muriel Kerr will include one of his Nocturnes in her appearance with the Coolidge Quartet at English’s on Monday night. By far the most appropriate meménto of the occasion, however, is. this Vietor| album containing four-of his own performances. Mr. Paderewski's playing days undoubtedly are over (he passed his 80th birthday last November), but the “masters” of these and other records remain in the Victor Company’s vaults to lend permanence to the legend of his performances.

By JAMES THRASHER Paderewski Golden Anniversary Album; four records by Ignace Jan

THE SEVEN. DAYS beginning tomorrow have been designated by a committee headed by Walter Damrosch as a National Testimonial Week ta Ignace Jan Paderewski. The-observance is in honor of the 50th anniversary of the. pianist’s American debut in New York. purpose, according to Dr. Damrosch, is to convey “the deep affection of the American people, who for four generations have been stirred by

single record, the first moVement of the Beethoven “Moonlight” Sonata and the pianist’s own cele= brated Minuet in G. Into my album, however, is going an old recording of the Chopin “Winter Wind” Etude and the Liszt F Minor Etude. This record is well over 15 years old, but it has somehow survived hard use, rough handling and several movings. Even today the reproduction is not at all unsatisfactory. And the playing is that of the artist in his prime—the dazzling passage work, limpid tone, and the commanding, individual, authentic style which we remember and cherish.

” ” 4 IT IS TO BE HOPED that Vice tor may see fit to release some repressings of these earlier records.

It’s

‘appeal both to the older folk who treasure the memory of their first Paderewski recital and will wel‘come a more tangible reminder, ‘and to the youngsters whose curiosity will be pricked by the knowledge of his name and fame. Anyone who ever heard Mr. Paderewski in' his more active years could hardly forget the occasion. It was unlike any other musical experience of our time. After the customary = 30-minute wait past the advertised starting |* time the great pianist would appear upon the darkened stage. Despite his short stature he was an imposing figure with his shock of electric hair, his stern, leonine face and the great dignity of his bearing. And from the moment he struck the invariable thunderous. chords which preluded his performance, the listener knew that something out of the musical ordinary was about to happen. None but the most worshiptul would deny that Mr. Paderewski played his share of wrong notes, as well as indulging in some

tist, a great statesman and a great man as citizens of a country in which he achieved some of his greatest success and in which he has chosen to spend his declining years. We are grateful for his contribution to art and to freedom, and perhaps it would tend to cheapen our admiration and gratitude to ask for anything more. But if we might later be permitted to hear again the music of a Paderewski in his titanic prime, then the miracle would be complete and the cup would indeed be full.

This week we honor a great ar- |

egregious pianistic practices which would have earned a student a rap on the knuckles. Byt these things were of small moment. The beauties of his playing outnumbered his faults. And to sit in his presence during a performance was to realize that here was a great man and a great artist, a person who at the moment was in the spell of’ an eloquent conviction that music was th: most important and most wonderful thing in the world. ® n=»

SO THE YOUNGER concertgoer, though he has heard a dozen’ pianists whose technical proficiency.tops that of Mr. Paderewski in his prime, has missed something. For there have probably been no virtuosi except Paganini and Liszt, and 'pqssibly Rubenstein, .who have so captured and charmed. the world by musical sorcery. All these thiags are not recalled in listening to the records in the .Golden Anniversary ‘Album, to be sure, Victor apparently was confronted with the problem. of presenting an aged Paderewski’s playing recorded by modern and satisfactory means, or of bringing the performance of a younger and greater artist in & less satisfactory reproduction. ey seem to have chosen the first course, - # ” #
