The world-famous pianist, COM
poser and champion of modern COM
posers, came directly from his home
in Springfield, Mo, for mis- sixth
appearance as soloist with the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra. So
walking was out of the question.
When time permits, Mr.. Granger
frequently walks from one concert
engagement to another. And, he
insisted in an interview, his zeal
for hiking wasn't dampened by the
experience of being picked up by
police and held on a charge of
vagrancy until he was able to estab-
lish his identity.
IT,. happened in Warsaw, Wis,
about a year ago. He had on a
pair of white ducks, which he said
he always wears in travelling because
he suffers so much from the heat.
A policeman asked him why he was
wearing white trousers.
Il guess he didn't like my ex-
PLANTATION, so he arrested me-" Mr..
Granger said.
Il never say much about the ex-
perience, though" he added. A lot
OF people thought it was funny, but
