No Routine For Lhevitine Famous Russian Pianist Practices Faithfully, However, for Each Concert; Loves Fishing But Shuns Fish Stories Because People Don't Believe Them Anyway, He Avers. . o "Oh no," protested Josef Lhe vinne, "I have no routine. I like my good times too much. Of course I must practice faithfully for a particular concert, but fre quently I don't touch a piano for weeks not days or a week, mind you, but for whole weeks.' . The eminent Russian pianist who played to an enthusiastic audience last night at the con cert sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha chuckled and confessed to the interviewer, "Maybe it is a mat ter of what you call tempera ment, but anyway I have always been a little lazy." He dug into his pocket and drew forth a cig arette case, remarking playfully, "I shan't offer you one because they're too strong for a young ster like you." Inhaling deeply and carelessly flicking - ashes on his spats, Lhevinne described his recrea tions. He likes nothing better than to dash off to a little place near Portage, Wisconsin, where he can fish the summer long. After many years of exclusive ly bass and pickerel fishing, he has recently become interested in going after the larger and more exciting muskelunge.. t Exaggerates "Other Way" "I never tell fish stories," he said, 'because I know people don't believe, them anyway and I'm tired of them." Drawing his hands close together he added, "I exaggerate the other way." In addition to fishing Lhevinne is tremendously interested in as tronomy. Until a few years ago he indulged often in tennis but, as he phrases it, "I'm afraid I'm too old for that sort of thing now. It is in Wisconsin too that BOARD TO ACT ON SALARYREVISION Publications Union Group Meets At 2:00 O'clock Today in Important Session. ' " .'"

Buc Boys BuH Members of the Buccaneer staff will meet in solemn convo cation tonight at 7:00 o'clock in Graham Memorial. Attendance at this meeting is compulsory. Pete Ivey said so. Lhevinne does what ne terms his real "work." Tours, social life, concerts, teaching make it virtually impossible for him to study composition during the winter. Accordingly, when he goes west in the summer he de votes a good deal of time to ex perimenting with the works of the great composers as possible concert pieces. "Out there I haveplenty of time for work. I am not one who can utilize a spare hour or two. If I am Ho work at all I must have sufficient time to get -nyself in the mood. This some times takes as long as two hours," he regretfully observed. Tm afraid Tm too old too to be convinced about the modern composers," he admitted. 'Host f their works are like the Chi nese language to me. It takes entirely too long to work but an approach to them. However Debussy is another matter. Some time ago I included one of his nieces on my program because I thought that by playing it would make the audience appre ciate the following selections all the more. "I was not a little surprised to discover that as I continued playing these pieces I gradually came to like them myself and I play them for a value which I had not discerned before. The joke, you see, was on me." He has not, however, been won over to a similar view regarding the ultra-moderns.

Lawrence, head of the local civil works administra tion, announced yesterday that a thirty per cent cut of the en tire CWA force that has been working on projects in Orange county will go into effect this morning.

This action will be nee essary u tne worx is to pro ceed in any manner of efficien cy, as the great curtailment al ready effected will in itself slow the work up considerably. Two Factors Considered There are two factors that must be considered in this re duction of employees. The first of these is the individual need of the workmen ; the second is the need for skilled men on cer tain jobs. Lawrence said that by the end I of next week the pay roll will probably be cut in half. He doesn't know exactly what the next cut will be, but he antici pates another cut of 15 per cent.
