There are two kinds of works
by the old masters that rarely
find a place on the modern con-
cert program. One is the piece
that is in the complete editions
and is listed in the encyclopedias,
but is seldom played either
because it is inferior or because
the artist prefers not to disturb
his adoring public with strange
sounds. The other is the true
novelty. the rediscovered work.
In this category is the Mendels-
sohn sonata on last nights pro-
gram.
Mr.. Menuhin is an expert at
finding unknown works by ia
nous composers. Four intro
duced by him come to mind i'm
mediately: A Mozart concerto
(the authenticity of which is, I
think. still in doubt, a Schu-
mann concerto. a Mendelssohn
concerto, and the present sonata
for violin and piano. Each of
the first three is far inferior in
quality to the best works of its
respective composer. but the
sonata is first-rate Mendelssohn.
"It has the chivalrous. roman
tic quality of the age that pro-
duced Schumann," writes Mr..
Menuhin of the piece, "the ele-

The Army, with an eye to
morale. plans to make it easier
for families to join soldier hus-
bands and fathers in Germany.
Until recently no family could
be sent over at Government ex-
pense unless housing was as
sured when it got there. With
Government housing in short
supply, this frequently meant
that families were separated for
months.
Some families have paid their
own way over and found private
housing. But the Army frowned
on this and has gone so far as
to deny such families emergency
medical care and post exchange
privileges if they stayed in Ger
many longer than 80 days.
Now the Army has decided it
will pay family travel expenses
If the soldier can show that he
has lined UP tourist-type accom-
modations until Government
housing is available. BY tourist
type the Army means hotel or
board and room.
This new policy applies only
to families Of officers and en-
listed men in the top three
grades, the only ones who have
ever been entitled to free trans
portation and to Government
housing overseas.
Hotels High Priced.
Whether the change in policy
actually will make it easier for
families to get to Germany de-
pends on two things: The avail
ability Of Government transpor-
tation and tourist-type housing
In Germany.
German officials here say that
hotel space is fairly easy to get
but is frequently high priced.
Board and room accommoda-
tions are not too easy to find.
Military officials say they
know Of no reason transporta-
tion for dependents won't be
supplied whenever housing ac-
commodations are assured and
the overseas Army commander
gives his permission for travel.
Here's a step-b step explana-
tion II you're an Army wife cov-
cred by it:
First, your husband must line
up the housing for you and have
1t approved by his commanding
officer. Then he must submit an
approval order to his CO along
with his request to have you
Join him.
Travel Orders Issued.
AS soon as the necessary trans
portation arrangements can be
made, the overseas commander
will approve your husbands re-
quest. You will receive travel
soon after that.
Once your travel orders are re-
ceived. you're sent a tentative
date for embarkation-generally
so days later. Along with this
you'll get an authorization to
apply for a passport.
You should take the passport
authorization to an agency
which the Army will designate.
This agency will issue the pass
port and send it on to the State
Department in Washington for
approval. Then it's sent on to
your port Of embarkation. where
you may pick it up. .-
During this time the Army is

goods. You will be getting the

The next communication
you'll get from the Army will be
your port call data date to
deport for embarkation. This
generally comes 80 days before
you embark. With the port call
you'll get a travel authorization
which you can use to get you
to the port. Once you're at the
port, you'll start on a closely
guided tour to your final desti-

TWVHIs is new Lindbergh story. 1t is about
i youth who has been as carefully and
consistently shielded from the public as any
one IN the United States.
twenty-five years have passed since Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh's fight to Paris IN 1927
made him the No. hero of the Adventurous
'2O's. And it's full 90 years since the tragic
KIDNAPPING Of his first born son.
Since then, there have been few reports
about the Lindberghs and almost nothing
about their five children until October 6. 1852.
On that morning, breakfasters picked up
their papers to see handsome, bearded youth
with the magic name Of Lindbergh looking out
from front pages across the country. The
press reports were thin; little more than that
2O-year-old Jon Morrow Lindbergh was a
member of crew of oceanographers aboard
a tug which had just completed l2.O0O-mile
Atlantic voyage.
Sp0CsnCulax Rocogd
LIKE his publicity-shy father. young Jon
would not talk to reporters. But / got to
know him as classnate at Stanford Univer-
sity last year and he let me interview him.
So this is the story of Lindbergh's oldest son,
a youth who Is. in many ways, as extraor-
binary az his extraordinary father.
At 20. in his junior year in college, he
already has spectacular record. He il an
honor student, promising marine biol
ogist. n licensed pilot. an expert mountain
climber and explorer, and has perfected
new method Of shooting rapids.
In almost all his activities. Jon is motivated
by fierce quest for excitement. Asked to
compare the thrill of mountain climbing with
; the challenge Of the sea, he replied: The seas
more dynamic and you can fight it. But, in
mountain climbing. if you slip. you csn't help
yourself. You Just fall through space"
AGssd Eaaaimw
UEs2BRsc his adventurous spirit is easy.
More difficult to explam are his mixed feelings
toward his fanilys name. On the one hand.
Jon seems determined to achieve place IN
the world on his own merits. Because he
spurns the easy road to fame that might be
laid out for him simply because he is a
Lindbergh. he sometimes feels that his famous
name is handicap. On the other hand, he
feels justly proud Of his family Is achievements.
Ruggedly built, he is stoclief. much darker
and just trife shorter than his six foot-two
Dad. But his wavy hair and quiet blue eyes
mark him as another Eindbergh. So do his low

ton and Harvard, and Mr.. Bur-
dick, who learned his ABCs off
the cast iron door of the fam
lily cookstove, was little less
than startling.
When Mr.. Burdick first came
to the House in 1885, he ran
head-on into trouble by refus-
ing to vote for Bert Smell as
Republican leader. For this
the party booted him off his
two committees. Undismayed,
Mr.. Burdick observed that
there is one committee you
can't kick me off of-the COM
mittee of the whole House."
Still, he found 1t harder to
get the floor in his first term
than it was to prove a home
stead back in Dakota. But
MI. Burdick just sat out his
party's displeasure. He was
in the chamber every minute.
Every time the Republicans
dropped the ball, he picked it
up and ran with it.
He made so much yardage
that by the next Congress,
the G. O. P. was ready to
come to terms. BY now, he
and his party enjoy mutual
tolerance and a measure of
understanding. Still, his efforts
to reform the party in the
Progressive image of his hero,
Fighting Bob La Toilette, have
been unavailing. His attitude
now is that If I can't shame

Youngest Speaker
Mr.. Burdick won his spurs
in the hard school of North
Dakota politics at an early age.
In 1909, he was the youngest
speaker of a State Legislature
in the country. He tried for
the Senate a couple of times,
but had no luck. In 1910, he
was nominated at the State
Non-PartiSan League conven-
ton by William L. LANCER.

So far this year more than
100 witnesses have told con-
gressional committees some
thing like this:
IT decline to answer because
Of my rights under the fifth
amendment"
More ofetn than not this
was the end of the trail for
the congressional investigators.
Even the most fierce inveS-
tigator gives up in Illustration
when he hears the fifth
amendment cited.
But some Congressmen are
trying to do something about
the impasse. Within the Con-
stitution, they want to force
witnesses to testify.
It is a dangerous thing to
attempt, for the congressman
must circumvent one of the key
clauses in the Bill of Rights
of the Constitution.
l62-Yeor-OId Shield
The fifth amendment, added
to the Constitution in 1871,
provides: mo person {.
shall be compelled in any GRIM
inal case to testify against
himself"
Now, 1862 years later, wit
ness after witness is using this
clause to justify his refusing to
say whether he is a Commu-
mist. Witnesses involved in in
come tax evasion or other
crimes can use the same argu-
ment.
To meet this situation, Sem
ator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada is sponsoring a bill to
grant some free-talking wit
nesses immunity from Federal
prosecution for anything he
admits from the witness chair.
A careful procedure is provided
to try to protect the interests
of both Government and the
witness.
McCorron Plan
Under the proposal, a wit
ness first would have to decline
to testify. and cite the fifth
amendment. Then the COM
mittee, if it wished to go
further, would give the At
torney General seven days
notice that it was considering
granting immunity to a par
ticular witness on particular
subject. This would give the
Justice Department a chance
to make any objection, al
though an objection would not
be binding.
The committee would vote
whether to grant immunity.
To do so. the vote would have
to be by a majority of two
thirds of the full committee
not just a subcommittee.
This majority would have to
include at least one member
of each of the two major
parties represented on the
committee.
Once the committee decided
to grant immunity to a wit
ness, it would call in the wit
ness and inform him Of the
decision. Then If he refused
to testify. the committee could
cite him for contempt and

A pure-blooded Caucasian.
Mr.. Burdick nevertheless has
grasped the Indian point of
view. He is the only Federal
legislator who speaks fluent
Sioux. The one non-aborigi-
nal subject in his impressive
Office photo gallery is his DEM
ocratic friend, Mccormack of
Massachusetts. What is more,
Mr.. Burdick has written 20
books on frontier days, all of
them packed solid with au-
thentic Indian lore.

knowledge not only from ex-
perience, but also from books.

Peerless Comedy Relief
1t was in his lean outlaw
years that he perfected his
oratorical tricks, chief of
which is the ability to break
up a tense debate with a lit
tie comedy relief or to wing
spread eagle orators. The
other day, during a discus
sion of a tobacco-support bill,
the vieWers-with-alarm and
pointers-with-pride were hard
at it. Mr.. Burdick climbed
down out of his seat on the
left side of the Republican
ranks and made his way down

perhaps have him sent to jail.
But there's a joker. Con-
grass cannot grant any one
immunity from prosecution
under State laws.
Suppose a witness is COM
PEELED under the McCarran
plan to testify that he car
ried illicit narcotics across a
State llne-a Federal offense.
The Justice Department could
not prosecute. But State au-
thorities might use the infor-
nation to tag the witness with
violation of State laws against
possession of narcotics.
Senator George, Democrat
of Georgia, raises another
point: THE fifth amendment
Gas interpreted by the Su-
preme Court) is also the
right of the witness to refuse
to testify when his testimony
would necessarily bring into
public contempt and disrepute
the members of his immediate
family.
1T is not proposed to grant
immunity against that; and.
of course, none could be
granted, since the harm and
injury would come from publi-
cation of the facts themselves"
ReIuctont Concurrence
Nevertheless, Senator George
says he must reluctantly
concur" in the immunity
bill now before the Senate.
Senator Kefauver, whose
crime investigating committee
often was thwarted by the
fifth amendment, is a strong
supporter of a clause requir-
ing prior notification Of the
Justice Department of any
committee proposal to grant
immunity. He thinks it should
be a part of the law rather
than just a rule of Congress,
as Senator McCarran proposes.
Whether the requirement is
law or a congressional rule, it
would be intended to give the
Justice Department a chance
to report on any pending
prosecution against a witness.
The FBI, for instance, could
work for years on an espionage
case, only to have the spy
called before a committee in
some other case. An unin-
formed Congressman might
ask a witness who had immu-
nifty to tell about some Com
muniSt meeting. The witness
might reply: "Oh, we discussed
how we stole atomic secrets"
The Govern IN en- t's case
against the spy would be gone
forever.
Congress would hope to
avoid such a catastrophe. It
also would hope that State
authorities. as a matter of
courtesy, would not prosecute
any one who had received Fed
eral immunity. But there can
be no guarantee.
Anxious Senators, as they
vote on the McCarran bill
probably next week, know that
the measure would not be up
at all if the Communist prob
lem was not what it is. IL,
