TennpIeton Lends Distinctive
Touch to Wotergote Concert

Palms" Mrs. Howe writes ex-
pertly for the voice. The logical
progression of the melodies and
the richness of the orchestration
made the work stand out among
others heard this season. The
chorus. trained by Paul Galloway
acquitted itself of it's difficult task
with honor.
The orchestral part of the pro-
gram was limited to the we'll
known overture to Weber's
"Euryanthe." Ravel's "Volses No
bles ct Sentimentales" and selec-
tionS from Porter's kiss Me
Kate" arranged by Bennett. Con-
ductor Howard Mitchell has been
fortunate in his selection of mu-
sicians. The ensemble is sturdy
and good AND shows a remarkable
discipline for the short time it
played together. The tone quality
is full and vibrant, and accuracy
in passage and detail work is
pleasing to the ear.

The return of Alec Templetor
to Washington last night as solo.
ist with the National Symphony
Orchestra, lent a special distinc.
ton to the third concert of the
Watergate series. There are not
many pianists who can give sc
much in little time and who are
so highly endowed with special
gifts as he is. First and foremost
Mr.. Templeton owes his popularity
to lovable. personality as much
as he owes it to his achievement
Added to that are a musical men,
ory. short of phenomenal, ano
what seems to be a limitless know
ledge of classical and popular
music.
There may be others who car
play Grieg's challenging concerto
with more power and security
yet lack Mr.. Templeton's appreci-
alton of the beautiful and Of the
poetic with which the work is
imbued. Composed at a happy
period Of Grieg's life, in a ro-
mantle countryside, the concerto
reflects the joy of living in ex-
uberant passages and the COM
poser's youthful dreams in its
cantilena. The artist brought
out these elements with a sensi-
tivity and a simplicity, so char
acteristic of his humility Of spirit
and absence of pretentious dis
play at the expense Of the music.
The evening would have been
incomplete without Mr.. Temple
tons inimitable extemporaneous
improvisations on a given theme.
That Of Beethoven's ''Pathetique"
sonata was called for and played
in the styles of Bach, Chopin,
Ravel and Shostakovich. Later,
two classical and two popular
themes were combined with Gus
tomary ingenuity. For good meas
ure. the pianist added also a few
of his own numbers and an anus
ing recitative, to the accompani-
ment of the piano. in which Mo-
zart had aspirations to penetrate
Broadway.
Needless to say, the audience
loved every selection and evi-
denced marked disappointment
when the piano was rolled away
while the clapping continued.
George Titus of the Sesquicenten-
nial Commission presented the
pianist with a medal at the end
of his performance.

half benefits accorded to the
mother will be stopped.
Ironically enough, if the Gov
ernment's temporary employees
were not being brought under
social security benefits, the wild
ows' pensions would not be cut.
This is because the social security
law does not deny full benefits to
persons working outside the social
security system. However. since
the Governments temporary work.
ers are being placed under social
security. this automatically will
deprive the widows of their share
of pension benefits.
The only remedy is for Congress
to amend the law to assure these
widows their pensions. even though
they accept Federal employment.
Childless widows are not af-
fected by the situation, since they
are not eligible for social security
benefits until the age of IS and
the Government isn't hiring peo-
pie at that age except in special
circumstances.
Also unaffected are widows
who are under the regular civil
service retirement system.
Federal officials have no specific
estimate as to how many widows
are being hired for temporary
Government jobs, but they say
the number is considerable. They
explain that Federal employment
has always had a great attraction
