The ship is now under construc-

The size Of the model craft
Is best realized when compared to

Like real plane builders, the young

dler PAGES impatiently and
looks at his watch. At 10 am.
by the wall clock George Gaul,
personnel manager of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra,
walks onstage and claps his
hands. The dissonance ceases;
the hall is silent except for
the faint clink of bucket ham

the cleaning crew is at work.
DIR. Kinder. tall, distin-
guished looking, walks quickly
to the front of the stage and
bids the musicians a CHEEKY
good morning. First item for
rehearsal, he says. will be
"Daphnis and Chloe" by
Ravel. He tells them it should
convey infinite beauty of
sound-very French"
He raises his baton and the
rehearsal is on. The music
swells, but soon the conductor
stills his baton and passes
his hand over his face, an
exaggerated gesture of de-
spair.
Patiently he translates the
emood of the music:
He looks for her . he sees
her and is transported. Now,
In the third bar, the violas
come in crescendo to the
end keep it up >. very
Prussian."
Having thus warmed up, DR..
Kinder takes of his jacket,
revealing a loose fitting hor-
izontally striped polo shirt.
The music begins again.
Jaw outthrust, hands either
weaving the pattern to the
various sections or trembling
with the fervor of the music,
DR.. Kinder moves the en-
semble along to a crashing
climax.
At one point he stops the
orchestra to plead, Together
-together-this is the psy-
CHI biological place - take a
breath-a mental breath" At
another he huns the pass
age and says, mo smear-but
glissando-make the glissando
more distinct"
He points to a violinist who
came in a fraction of a second
late on a pizzicato.
Where were you?" he asks,
gently. Every one laughs.
Wake up, brother. it's Mon
day morning" he tells the err
rant violinist. Now" to all,
"relax-relax. We begin again
-please-softly-like leaves In
the trees"
The next interruption is for
an exchange with the percus-
sion department. The percus-
sionists stick together; they
think they we're playing it
correctly, DR.. Kinder doesn't
make an issue of it.
A moment later he is ex-
hOrting the orchestra to NAV

mysterious. ominous."
Soon the horns get cut of
hand and DR.. Kinder eau
tions them: Don't let your
excitement carry you away.
Keep always in control" It
doesn't do any good. A mo-
ment later he is patiently
expostulating:
Horns, I don't hear that
rhythmic figure rat-a-tat-
tat. rat-a-tat-tat."
When the orchestra moves
on to the Liebestod of Wag-
ner's Tristan and Isolde" DR..
Kinder explains:
THE mood is important. It
is sad. Think of what you
have to say, rather than what
Is in front of you. Try to make
the expression superimpor-
tant. Now-big! big!" He
huns it to demonstrate.
DR.. Kinder obviously loves
Wagnerian music. He lapses
into Wagnerian German as he
talks to the musicians and
rolls the. big round phrases on
his tongue. He stumbles a
little on one word, finally gets
it out, and mutters, ZACH,
what a language!"
The orchestra falters on a
crescendo. DR.. Kinder gets
caustic:
ION my score it is crescendo
until the end. think Wagner
knew pretty well what he
wanted"
The music begins again and
wavers to a halt when the
conductor sticks his fingers in
his ears.
Don't become theorists" he
scolds. Don't become anti
social. Cooperation Coop
Grafton! All right, crescendo
up until No. l, yes? No COM
promise, no compromised"
When the orchestra takes
up Wagner's Die Meister-
singer" he admonishes, keep
1t firm, noble but don't
emasculate." He warns the
violins, Don't lean forward to
the next note"
The oboes have a passage.
DR.. Kinder stops them and
mimics the sounds they were
making. Like a man to his
tcrturers he cries, How can
you do that?" They try again.
This time he is satisfied.
When the orchestra turns
to the polonaise from Tschai-
kowsky's Eugene Onegin," he
sums up the mood, Short,
snappy-Spurs!"
The orchestra embarks once
more and is doing nicely. It
builds up to a crashing Gre
scendo which quivers on the
ears of this listener. But DIR.
Kinder, face contorted, filings
himself around and throws up
his hands.
mo, no, I want more! I told
you before-strong, strong,
strong! Why must tell you
again?"

FATHERS DAY

Ministers of every denomination, race and color will
mark Sunday, June goth, by leading their congregations in
Fathers Day services. Once again, people of every race
and creed will unite in active fulfillment of the Biblical
admonition, Honor Thy Father"
From the beginning, religious leaders of all races have
given their sincere and ardent support to this day which
in essence encourages love and respect of the child, and
affection and responsibility on the part of the parent.
Fathers Day is a day of spiritual stock-taking, when
fathers ask themselves, Have l been a good father p
There is something about Fathers Day that is far bigger
than the usual flippancies and time-worn jokes about Dad.
Even Balzac, the cynic acknowledged the MAGNITUDE of
fatherhood. "Since l have become a father" he said, Il
have come to understand God"
"Father-To God Himself we cannot give a holier
NAME" said Wadsworth.

TO DEDICATE
RANKIN HOUSE

Sunday, June IS, the name of
John Rankin will be immortalized
in Ripley, Ohio. Dedication of the
Rankin House will take place in
this town. The house was the first
stop on the underground railway
through which thousands and
thousands of fugitive slaves gain
ed freedom before the Civil War.
However, the Rankin being i'm
mortalized is far, far removed
from the one currently playing
such a demagogic and tyrannical
role in American history. The
house, now owned by the state,
was occupied by Rev. John Ran
kin, a leader in the abolitionist
movement, before the war between
the north and south broke out.

Again we find it necessary to
make our appeal to citizens to
show more restraint in their ac-
tions, to cease this stupid use of
dangerous weapons. An old adage,
and a wise one, says whiskey and
alcohol do not mix. 1t might be
added that whiskey and gun pow
der do not mix, o do whiskey
and knives. Furthermore, shooting
and stabbing never settles any
thing, only complicates matters.
We should think the struggle to
maintain a bare existence would
be a complicated enough task,
without adding any further prob
lens to ones life.

 Quarter Million

INDIANAPOLIS-(FP)-V Voting to fill a $258,000 war chest, some COG AFL representatives here set up a statewide branch of Labor's League for Political Education and pledged an all-out campaign to defeat Indiana congressman who backed the Taft Hartley law.
 Gathered at mid-winter pOlit- ical study conference, delegates heard Pres. Carl Mullen of the In- diana Federation of Labor declare the fighting fund would be realized by individual $l contributions from all AFL members. A 22-mem- Der committee reaching into all state congressional districts was inn mediately organized to mobilize the people for the May primary election campaign.
 Addressing the meeting, AFL Leg islative Rep. Walter J. Mason blasted the present Congress for directly re- pealing every piece of legislation that has benefited labor in the last 6C years" The Taft-Hartley law, he said was written by the Natl. Assn. oi Manufacturers and represented "an ac- emulation of 30 vicious anti-labor bills"
 Other speakers included Pres. J. Cline House of the Oklahoma Fed eration of Labor and Pres. William C. Birthright of the Barbers Intl. Union.
