While on a European visit, she met the Irish patriot, Terence McSweeney sev eral hours before he was arrested and put in jail, and while im prisoned he began his hunger strike which caused his death. This inter view marked Miss Thompson's debut as a journalist. An Amer iran woman edit or bought the story and thus began Miss Thompson's foreign correspondlent career. She spent eight years in Vienna andI Berlin for Curt is Newspapers, Philadelphia Public Ledger, andl the New York Evening Post. WVhen she took over the important Berlin office of the N. Y.

He will present a lecture recital in the chapel this morning at ten o'clock and will conduct a clinic for music students this after noon. Last night he presented a recital in the chapel. At the clinic he will meet with students and faculty members who are interested in more informal playing. Born and educated in the United States, Kirkpatrick studied music here and in Europe. Part of his training was received at the Amer ican Conservator' of Fontainbleau and in Paris. He has worked under such eminent teachers as Philipp Decreus, Nadia Boulanger, and Louta Nouneberg. His piano re citals have aroused interest and discussion among critics and con cert-goers since his first perform ance of Charles Ives' Concord Sonata in 1939. He is today an acknowledged athority in his special field of new music and rarely heard works-a s;:cdiaiy which has ideally equipped him to acquaint American college students with current trends in American music. He also has at his command a large repertoire of classic and medieva! music. Olin Downes once wrote in "The New York Times," "Mr. Kirk patrick has become a medium whereby the public ind press alike can be well and authoritatively acquaint'd with what American composers have done and are doing in the field of music for the keyed instrument." The late Lawrence Gilman hailed this artist as "A poet, and a master-an un obtrusive minister of genius." Although Mr. Kirkpatrick did most of his musical study in France, he has remained thorough ly American in his point of view. He believes in the music being written in this country, and he is tireless in searching out and play ing the best in American piano comupositions. In addition to American composi tions, 11r. Kirkpatrick has a large rep)ertoire of classical and medieval music. His program strikes a good balance from Bach to Hunter John sonl, an alumnus of the Ulniv'ersity of Northi Carolina. Mr. .Johnson's work, "Seherzo from the South," was written in 1927. .John Kirkpatrick is at present chairman of the music department at Cornell U niversity. Night Watchman, W. 0.
