A Ridge of Ice.
Schatz made a face. "The
chances seem pretty slim. I. for
one, don't really see any possi-
bility; the southeast ridge is out
of the question. What about tina
north ridge?"
THE north ridge" exclaimed
Terray. mo one will ever get

when Couzy, Oudot and
Schatz were up above the Miristi
gorges on April 27," continued,
they brought back sketches
showing the average angle of
the north ridge of Dhaulagiri.
It looked perfectly reasonable.
Moreover the steep part didn't
look to me to be more than 1900
or 1.500 feet high. On the left
flank, looking towards the
mountain. there are crevasses
which would give shelter for
camps. And why not place some
fixed ropes?" Although my ar
gument was based on reasons of
a technical nature. it didn't con-
vince any one.
Then Couzy leaned forward,
and looked hard at me, search
ing for the right words:

are at least some possibilities"
The tension relaxed, and
tongues were loosened.
Three Routes Seen.
What we do know about An
napurna." I added, "is that the
only possible line of attack. is
from the north. But we must
first get there.
"The way to the upper basin
of the Miristi Khola is a prob
lem we have already solved.
From the farthest point reached,
three routes were seen: first, the
northwest ridge, and 1t is on this
ridge that, in theory, we ought
to launch our first attack. Sec
ondly, there is the west glacier
of Annapurna-it looks as if we
ought to be able to follow a cou-
loir from it up to the spur with
the main ridge.
"And finally there is the gla-.
oier that no one has yet seen,
but which. we can infer, flows
down the whole of the north
face of Annapurna."
You see," said Oudot, "that
spur Is the shortest route. In two
days we ought to be able to
reach the summit ridge at the
height of 10000 feet to $1,000
feet. OF course between the top
of this spur and Annapurna
itself there is o bit that we
haven't yet seen. If there should
be a gap. it would always be
possible to get around it by TAX
ing to the west glacier, that is
to the right of the spur when
you face the mountain"

President Promises
To Give Position on
Labor Law Changes
By Gould Lincoln

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER To-Day
promised statement of his ad-
Ininistration's position on Taft
Hartley labor law revision.
He did not, however, set a date
for unveiling his wishes in this
regard.
Gen. Eisenhower told his news
conference there are two points
which will certainly be included
In the administrations state
ment. They are:
/. Repeal of the provision
which bars striking workers from
voting in an election to pick the
union which should represent
them in dealing with manage
nnent.
2. Some change in the present
setup under which officials of
labor unions are required to take
an oath that they are not Com
munists, while management faces
no such requirement.
Sees Lack of Action.
Critics of the administration
have attacked it because it did
not appear to be forcing Taft
Hartley revision in the present
Congress.
The President also touched on
three other subjects which
cropped up constantly in last
years campaign-tax reduction,
public power and social security.
A reporter asked the President
If he would comment on charges
made by some Republicans that
the administration was not liv-
ing up to promises that it would
reduce taxes at the present ses-'
sion of Congress-and that this
failure would hurt the G. o. P.
In the elections next year.
The President replied that ev-
erybody is concerned about
taxes, which are far too high to
continue for a long period of
time. He said he personally
knew no one who had promised
during the presidential cam
paign immediate tax reduction.
He himself had made no such
promise.
Tax Cuts Only With Peace.
Great and deep reductions in
taxes, the President continued,
would come only if we are able
to have a peaceful world. Some
reductions, he said, can be made
through economies and careful
administration. But, he added,
the gap must be closed between
expenditures and receipts and a
balanced budget be in sight, or
else there will be danger of in
f1ation.
The President asked that no
one believe he Is not in favor of
tax reduction-for he is. He
said he was talking about the
timing of reductions.
In reply to another question
the President said he was not
out to destroy iva. But, he
said, there is kind Of creeping
socialism in this country and he
wished to halt it. He said that
the Federal Government pro-
vides cheap power in one sec
ton, and then the industries in
other sections wish to desert
those sections and move to the
section which affords cheap
power. Yet the taxes taken
from all have been used to pro-
vide those facilities in one Sec
ton. He said that when there
are power developments in other
sections he wants the people in
those sections to have more to
say about the Developments
and not to have the Federal Gov
eminent do it all.
The President hastened to say
that his comments on creeping
socialism did not apply to the
social security laws, which he
has said should be extended to
cover millions more people. Mod
ern industry. he said, has made
such laws necessary to provide
for workers in their later years.

Evening star., 1953-02-06
By Alice Eversmon

The dance, with symphonic
score written especially for it,
was the highlight of the Balti-
more Symphony Orchestra's re-
turn to Constitution Hall last
night. The concert was all the
more memorable for the appear
ance of famed Martha Graham
in the solo role and the local
debut of Massimo Freccia, the
orchestra'S new conductor. Miss
Graham's dance fans were out
in force to form a large part
of the audience which gave both
Miss Graham and Mr.. Freccia a
warm welcome.
In 1949, the Louisville SYM
phony commissioned William
Schurnan to write a symphonic
work for Miss Graham. The
subject chosen for their col
laboration was the Old Testa-
ment story of Judith and her
beheading of HoloferneS to save
her people. The emotional de-
sign was outlined by Miss
Graham and the choreography
created by her. Mr.. Schuman'S s
Skilifully contrived score ac-
centuates the intensity of the
story, providing a highly de-
scriptive background for the
dance.
The reduced orchestra. re-
quired by the score, played be-
hind a golden curtain. In front
of it, at right, a set piece rep
resented the tent of HoloferneS
with a companion piece at left
where Miss Graham was discov-
cred as the spotlight gradually
illumined her. She was dressed
in black to indicate her widow
hood. From the stiffness of the
dancers first pose, the idea is
developed with mounting drama.
The suppleness of Miss
Graham's body, through which
motion flows with constant grace,
mirrored the agony of mind as
Judith made her great decision.
The program notes quoted ex-
cerpts from the biblical story as
synopsis of the dance. It re-
quired a considerable stretch of
the imagination to connect the
dance movements with the epi-
SodeS, although the 1.-THE pos
lures and expressive use of arms
and hands as well as the facial
expressions, mirrored the emo
tional anguish, if not so fully the
religious Supplication as told in
the Apocrypha.
BY it's tenseneSS and harmonic
structure, the music viSualizeS
the drama even more than the
dance itself. It begins in a dark,
despairing mood, expanding into
a semblance of melody as it re-
fleets Judith's entreatieS for
divine guidance. Its most power
full moments are reached at the
dramatic point where the plan
Is decided upon and in the de-
Scrlptive measures accompany
ing the arraying of Judith to
dazzle Holofernes. The orches-
tral interlude at the close is
sketched with massive dignity.
Independent of the dance inter-
probation, it would rate as a tell
Ing symphonic number.

which he is. able to communicate
to his musicians. and a steady
beat that holds it in line. Not
much effort was made to bring
out the contrasts in this appeal

stress on shadingS and dynamics.
But the playing was very much
alive and spoke well for the quail
ity of the orcheStra's musicians.
The horns and the violins showed
their skill in particular, the con-
certmaster revealing his fine tone
in the short solo of the first
movement. Mr.. Freccia's mettle-
some directing was especially ef-
fective in the Schuman score.
