In 1832 Poland ta till undrr the Rnsftian yoke, her praaiintu are chained to a vicious feudal ayteni and any demonstration for freedom is lmmrdiutely put down by the soldiers of the Czar. Frederic Chopin is -2, has pained distinc tion as a pianist in his home village of rlatoira Wola and some celebrity as a composer, even in 'Warsnw. The night he is to play at Count AVodzinski's, l-'rrderie and Jonef Eisner at tend a secret meetinjs of revolu tionaries before the event. Fred eric hears about the new hanK nian" governor the Czar baa Just sent to I'oland. X AT COUNT WODZINSKI'S TZABELA viewed the dinner concert at Count Wodzinski's through the pantry door. She was wearing her new dress, of course. She pushed the door open a few inches and stood on tiptoe to get a better view. She had never seen such splendor. It was not to be described. The dazzle actually was too much for one pair of eyes. Everything, from the great tapestries to the smallest trinket, spoke proud value. Count "Wbdzinski was a cold eyed man of middle years and middle stature. He wore a uni form. He looked shorter than his average height, almost dwarfed, as he sat stiffly in the high backed, gold-trimmed chair at the dining table, even though he sat on a pillow. Ladies and gentle men in the richest dress sat el bow to elbow, chattering, prating, laughing, while flunkeys in gold and lace waited on the table and a young woman at the far end of the room raised her voice in song to the accompaniment of a piano and the clattering of dishes. Izabela said: "Oh, Mamma, how elegant!" Mamma Chopin said: "Be care ful you don't open the door too far; they won't like it, then they won't let us even stand here." It was exactly as Jozef Eisner had said: they were ia the pantry. TVTICOLAS CHOPIN took out his pocket, looked at it again and again returned it to his pocket. He shook his head. He called his wife's attention to the hour. "Nicolas, what can we do?" They could not imagine what was keeping Frederic and Pro fessor Eisner. The minutes passed. It would soon be Frederic's turn to play. Mamma Chopin tried not to think about it but she could not help herself. The Major Domo, tall, robust, fussy and petty, with a powdered wig and clothed in velvet and satin, ornamented with gilt braid from neck to knees, came in from the corridor. "Not here yet?" Nicolas Chopin bowed. ' Tm sorry " You're sorry?" Nicolas Chopin smiled a fawn ing smile. "I can tell you nothing" " You have already told me nothing." The Major Domo waved his gold-headed cane close to Papa Chopin's nose. "Maestro Paganini plays next then your son. I say nothing more. But if you know what's good for him hell be ready." T7LUNKEYS rudely pushed Papa and Mamma Chopin aside with out apologies. A dozen lackeys were constantly on parade be tween the pantry and the dining hall, each carrying huge platters of roasts and delicacies so ar ranged as to sharpen the dullest appetite. Exquisite music, at first faint, then louder, was heard above the talk and tinkling glasses and clinking silver. Suddenly there was a flurry of excitement, and an angry voice said: "Can't you lock where you're going?" Tch, tch." Jozef Eisner, it seemed, had al most toppled a lackey staggering under a heavy tray of foodstuffs. "Frederic! Pagariinil" "Paganini!" Niccolo Paganini, the most celebrated violin virtuoso in Eu rope. Frederic would have flung open the door wide but for a watchful flunkey who prevented him. He Dut his ear to a crack. "Beautiful?" Izabela whispered. "Exquisite." The Major Domo appeared from nowhere. "Well, at last!" He coughed. "Be ready, please!" FREDERIC crossed the room scarcely noticed by the diners. He seemed not to be annoyed by the chatter or the noise of shift ing plates and platters, or the tinkling of glassware. The idea of Poland being gov erned by a hangman! He could not get the thought out of his head. Who next would swing from the gallows? What new un conscionable terrors would this tyrant bring? Damn the hang man! Poland would be rid of hangmen! But once at the piano, once his fingers touched the keys he was released from this world. The notes of his own Fantasie Im promptu began to fill the room. Frederic was in good form. Let others hammer away. Let others delight the world with their thumping. That was not for him. He had his own way. He would be content to play, to make the piano sing, not howl. There were a thousand ways to go about it. He had his own way. Tonight he had the feel. He knew exactly what to say and how to say it. He looked up and saw to his surprise that some of those at the table had actually put down their forks to observe him. The Impromptu was finished the last note struck. They applauded. Not each and every one. That would have been too much. The applause nonethe less was respectable. But Count Wodzinski's mouth was stuffed with food as he showed his face from the side of his high-backed, gold-trimmed chair. "Encore!" he shouted. "Encore."

Reliable informants at Stockholm, who met Hesse during his visit, said Jhe had no proposals with him bet had been authorized to tell British and Americans that Germany desired to discuss armistice or peace terms. Unconfirmed Swedish newspaper re ports said Hesse also was empowered to talk to the Russians. Hesse remained in Stockholm several weeks during which he saw several more or less influential Swedes and Anglo-American poli ticians, it was said.

More than 70 of the heavy bomb-! ers, flying from New Philippines bases, carried out the latest phase of the campaign to neutralize For mosa, only 7uu miles soutnwest ot Japan's heme islands. In the five days of raids, Douglas MacArthur's bombers have dumped a total of 825 tons of bombs on air bases and vital war plants on the island, lying strategically between the northwest corner of the Philip pines and the China coast. The Japanese failed to put up a tingle Interceptor against the last attack, which started large fires at the Heito and Okayama air bases and the supply and repair shops near Taihoku. The raid fol lowed an assault the previous day by Thunderbolt fighter-bombers on the electric plant at Toko, on Formosa's southern tip. (CBS recorded an Australian broadcast which said the Tokyo radio today noted a ''sharp increase in the number of planes raiding For mosa" from American bases in the Philippines. Tokyo said the task of: bombing Formosa apparently had been switched from the 14th air force in China to MacArthur's Philip pines forces.) Another contingent of Liberators at the same time spread 337 tons through the Japanese defenses at Baguio, fcrmer Philippines summer capital in northern Luzon where American troops were steadily com pressing the enemy forces .
