this will bring about a conflict. If
there is no will, you can see that this

BerIioz' Requiem
To Be Given by
Expanded GROUP

The National Capital Sesquicen-
tennial Commission will sponsor
two performances of Berlioz Re
QUEEN" Thursday and Friday
nights at $50, at the Watergate.
The work will be given by the
Sesquicentennial Chorus, an aug
mented symphony orchestra, and
a tenor soloist. David Lloyd, one
OF the country's leading oratorio,
opera and concert singers, has
been engaged to sing the part,
and 54 musicians have been added
to the orchestra. This will be Mr..
Lloyd's second appearance in the
city, his first having been with
the Washington Cathedral Soci-
ETY..
Paul Galloway will direct the
production. DR.. Sigmund Spaeth,
famous musicologist, will act as
commentator on both nights.
The Requiem" was written
originally to honor the memory of
General Domremont and was com
missioned by the French govern
ment. The success Of the first
performance in 1889 brought the
composer the award of the Legion
Of Honor.
The score calls for four addi-
tlonal sections of brass: l6 trum-
pets, Is trombones, tubas and
l6 timpani, the recruiting of which
has been difficult as all of the
musicians have to belong to the
Musicians Union. From the 120
lnstrumentalists needed, LLOYD

ira personnel, secured IS from
the ranks of the National SYM

and professional contacts and sug-
gestions.
Mr.. Geisler teaches the trumpet
at Peabody Institute and at the
Catholic and American Universi-
ties. He had been called upon to
organize many an orchestra be-
fore, but never one of such gigan-
tic proportions.

Lack of Diversity in Wotergote Programs;
Weather Stresses Need for Shelter
By Alice Eyersmon

This past week saw the con-
clusion of the most disastrous
Watergate season the National
Symphony Orchestra has expert
enced. 1t is all the more regret
table since the outdoor concerts
this year were a feature of the
Sesquicentennial celebration and
received the financial assistance of
the commission. The weather has
never been so unfavorable. The
almost constant threat of rain
and the several postponements
discouraged attendance and inter-
est. It cannot be expected that
a reasonably sized audience could
be so free from other commit
ments as to be able to attend the
same concert on another night if
a postponement is necessary.
The run of hard luck as re-
CARDS the weather has aroused
widespread sympathy for the or
chestra. its conductors, soloists
and the management. That
however, is of little help in the
vital factor of financial returns
The Sesquicentennial funds have
been used up and the deficit will
have to be made good from the
symphony's winter budget. With
the intention of making the sum-
mer concerts of the highest cal
iber, the orchestra personnel was
augmented and extra rehearsals
arranged for. This was particu-
larly advantageous for the for
eign guest conductors and artists
whose governments sponsored
their participation in the Sesqui
observance.
May Indicate New Trend.
The preseason planning had in
mind a conservative monetary
outlay and programs of varied
character. How the latter ap-
pealed to the general public can
not be estimated since the weather
conditions were the DOMINATING
factor of the performances. How
ever, those given On clear nights
did not have the drawing power
OF previous years even when sure

Philatelic Agency at Washington
sold $35, 5,980,086 forth of mint
stamps and stamped paper to col
lectors and dealers throughout the

The Detroit News for today fea-
lures page of pictures made in
the Italian governments printing
and engraving establishment in
Rome, which turns out stamps not
only for Italy but for other coun-
tries in Europe. Asia and South
America. One photograph shows
"a commissioned artist" putting
the finishing touches on a draw
ing for a stamp to be manufac-
tured for the republic of Paraguay.
Under this picture, a caption
reads: Italy uses the photo
gravure process to produce stamps.
1t is more economical and speedier
than the steel-engraving process
used by the United States Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing"
Skilled philatelists, however,
would not be likely to agree with
Ibis sentiment. Photogravure
stamps, most collectors believe, are
ess durable, less beautiful and less
secure than engraved stamps, and
the time allegedly saved by the
photogravure process is inconse-
luential. The cost of stamps is
governed by the number of them
printed from given plate. Photo
gravure is only relatively cheaper,
