literally a two-ring affair at <
the National Gallery last night 1
as part of a meeting of the 1
Eastern Division of the Music
Educators National Confer- 1
cnee. 1
Each group played two shows
Simultaneously, the Bucknell 1
people in the lecture room and 1
the Maryland group in the 1
East Garden Court. >
The audience made a mass '
pilgrimage at the mid-point. 1
The justification for this was 1
simple enough. It enabled a 1
Jarger audience to hear the two '
ensembles, and then—well, 1
imagine a brass ensemble in
the East Garden Court. 1
- Both groups were excellent 1
for college students, most of
whom have no intention of
making music, or at the least, '
musical performance, a life
work.
In most cases their lack of
professional aspirations is per
fedy justified, and the di
rectors of these college organ
isations accordingly face prob
lems not experienced by pro
fessionals.
College musical groups seem
more oriented towards putting
on performances and less to
ward cultivating the art en
tirely for its own sake. There
are advantages and disadvan
tMes to each approach, not to
mention a wide area of pos
sible compromise. Still, I have
the distinct feeling that a
swing back to private edifi
cation would probably be a
gain for music. And so, good
as it was, tonight's show leaves
me slightly discomfitted.

phony No. 1. Meyert.
George Steiner presented an
orchestra program last evening
of considerable local interest, as
the two modem works were by
Washington composers, and the
two soloists were 16-year-old
boys from local high schools.
The orchestra, of course, was
that of American University.
Jack Bryce, a student of Mr.
Pasmanick of the National
Symphony, did a very credit
able Job of playing the Mozart
bassoon concerto, being espe
cially effective in the rapid

Curbs Urged Extended
To Civilians Overseas
NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 14
(AP). The eommander-in
chief of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars tonight urged the Gov
ernment to put the same
restrictions on United States
civilian employes abroad and
overseas tourists as it has on
servicemen.
VFW Commander Ted C.
Connell said failure to do this
could “make second class citi
zens of our servicemen abroad.”
The Government has ordered
a cut in the number of serv
icemens' families overseas and
curtailed post exchanges and
other privileges.
Mr. Connell, of Kileen, Tex.,
called for the action in a
speech prepared tor delivery at
the VFW southern conference
here.
He said his veterans group
was not passing ‘‘technical
judgment” on the seriousness
of the outflow of gold supply.
• However,” he said, "if the
gold situation is so serious that
it required the reduction in
the number of dependents of
military personnel overseas...
It is only fair and equitable
that other agencies of the
United States Government
such as State Department em
ployes, Commerce Department,
etc.—bear an equal portion of
the same type of restrictions
Mr. Connell said "equivalent
burdens and restrictions"
should also be placed on United
States tourists and other per
sonnel abroad.
Mr. Connell said the entire
VFW legislative program would
be based on the program out
lined by delegates to the VFW's
national convention in Detroit.
Under veterans' affairs, Mr.
Connell said he will urge Con-

ment and in the lyrical slow
movement. His cadenzas were a
Mt pedestrian, but with expe
rience, he should gain in bril
liance of execution.
Stephen Keeskemothy, who
studies with Mr. Steiner, played
the first movement of the
Mendelssohn violin concerto
rather well. He was bothered,
from time to time in intonation,
but, by and large, it was excel
lent student playing.
The “Dirge” of Mary Howe
called forth the best sound and
the best ensemble playing of
the orchestra for the evening.
The piece itself is moving, and
rich with the darker colors of
the orchestra.
Emerson Meyers’ first sym
phony, which concluded the
program, was a bit too much
for the lts effective
ness, so far as I could Judge,
depends on the very precise
interweaving of short, episodic
motifs, tossed from section to
section of the orchestra. The
writing was difficult enough to
play and to hear that much of
the intended effect was lost.
Chalk this one up to the valiant
effort department.
I am not quite sure how
much of a service is done to
contemporary music if the per
formance is not completely ac
curate. The listener, without a
score, is forced to estimate how
much of the effect is intended,
and how much is accidental.
This is easy enough to do with
simple music, or music that is
completely traditional: but how
to discriminate between In
tentional experimentation in
sonority uid accidental grief in
performance sometimes escapes
me.

Elderly Home
Site Chosen
By Michaux
Elder Lightfoot Solomon
Michaux, Washington evangel
ist. said the home for the eld
erly which his Church of God
has been planning will be built
on three acres of land adjoin
ing Mayfair Mansions in North
east Washington.
Elder Michaux, pastor of the
Church of God, said the home
would provide all the needs for
the, elderly, including a dining
room and clinic.
A nonprofit corporation will
be formed to build the home,
he said.
Although plans have not been
completed, Elder Michaux said
the home would be built under
the elderly persons section of
the Federal Housing Adminis
tration laws. The FHA program
insures loans made on projects
for the elderly, thus encourag
ing banks to advance the
money.
Last week Elder Michaux said
the 600-family project, also
slated for the property adjoin
ing Mayfair Mansions, will go
forward. He wants to build it
under the urban renewal pro
' gram to acquire better financ
ing. He said he will pay the
8273.629 he owes the Govern
ment on a Reconstruction Fi
nance Corp, loan made for the
construction of Mayfair Man
sions. The Government debt has
been holding up action on the
project.

B-58 Bomber Breaks
Three Speed Records
EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE, Calif., Jan. 14 (AP).— :
An Air Force B-58 bomber,
streaking over the California 1
and Arizona deserts, today 1
broke three of the six world
speed records set only two days
ago by another B-58. - I
The Air Force said the four
jet. Delta-wing bomber aver- i
aged 1,284.73 MF.H. in to
day’s run, surpassing the av- i
erage speed on Thursday's 1
flight by nearly 100 M.P.H.
The speed run was made be- I
tween this southern California
base and a point east of Yuma ]
in southern Arizona. The re- •
suits will be submitted to the :
Federation Aeronautique Inter- 1
nationale in Paris for certifies- 1
tion.
The Air Force said the maxi- 1
mum speed attained during to
day’s flight was 1,430 M.P.H.—
nearly twice the speed of sound.
The records claimed today
are for flights made over a
1.000-kilometer course with
payloads of 2,000 kilograms
(about 4,400 pounds), 1,000
kilograms and no payload.
Since the plane carried 2,000
kilograms, it automatically
established records for lesser
payloads and no payloads.
■Hie 858 that made the
Thursday run averaged 1,200.-

in about 20 minutes.
Battalion Chief Charles L.
