Eisenhower Takes
-Four Cronies on Tour
OF Gettysburg Home
BY the Associated Press

GETTYSBURG, Pa, April s.
President Eisenhower today took
a group of golf and bridge play
ing cronies on tour of the
Gettysburg battlefield home
which he is having renovated
for himself and Mrs. Eisenhower.
The President and four friends
drove here from nearby Thur
mont, Md, where the President
and Mrs. Eisenhower are spend
ing the week end at their Catoc-
tin Mountain lodge.
With Gen. Eisenhower on the
visit to the farm home here

ton, a building contractor whose
firm is handling the construction
work at the farm.
All four arrived at Camp David
in the Catoctin Mountains short
ly before lunch. The President
invited them there for a round
of bridge tonight.
At Gen. Eisenhower's 189-
acre farm, he and his guests
roamed through the building
for about a half-hour. The
President showed them what
the layout will be when the
renovation work is completed
about two months from now.
At Camp David this morning
Gen. Eisenhower divided his
time between work on a Nation
wide television address which
he will make from the White
House Monday night, and re-
taxation with his oil paints.

LOCAL Doc STORY
TIE BIRD DOC" story coming out Of Detroit brings
mind a similar local situation retailed to US.
YEARS AGO, THE story goes, a group Of distinguished
citizens trekked to the mainland to represent these Islands
While on the. mainland this group had been invited to appear.
at a mass meeting in New York Each was introduced and
addressed the meeting briefly.
D. HAMILTON JACKSON, an admrer Of the then
Governor Pearson, remarked that Governor Pearson had
proved that he had the interests of the underdog at heart
and had been working towards that end.
THE GROUP returned to the Islands, hot poll
cal campaign was in full swing At a mass meeting, these
same men who had appeared in New York, addressed the
electorate, and it was here that one of them told his hearers
that Mr.. Jackson had called the people dogs" while speaking
in New York.
IMMEDIATELY, THERE was a cry Of indignation, and
many refused to either see or understand Fortunately, Mr..
Jackson was not a candidate, but those whom lie supported
carried the brnt Of it all
THIS IS mentioned merely to point out that in a politi
cal battle any off or chance remark is likely to produce grist
for the mills of the opposition. OF course, in the local case,
the attempt was So ridiculous that it embarrassed many
thoughtful people. The term @~umderdog@ had been used uni
versally to have but one meaning, Just as the term big dogs
has its meaning, with nothing ~derogatory Or mkind about it.
Yet, without the slightest hesitation the statement was
brought here from New York and used.
IN THE STATEMENT BY Secretary Wilson there IS
more to It than meets the eye since any Interpretation leaves
him on the defensive. But the general idea is nevertheless
the same.
IN AN ELECTION year the voters must be careful to
Weigh for themselves the words, attitudes and conduct Of
those who run for office. Unless this is done there is likely

An elaborate program dedi-
Gated to National Jewish Music
Month was presented by the
Adas Israel Congregation last
night. In addition to choral
works, the program included
groups of solos for violin, tenor.
organ and cello.
Werner Lywen's playing of the
Andante from Mendelssohn's
Concerto in E minor" gave a
remarkably fresh version of a
much-mistreated piece. Shorn of
the distortions often imposed on
1t. the work came alive in it's
unaffected righteousness with
his immaculate and f1nely-spun
playing. Though their styles of
playing differ, the cellist's tone
being on the richer side, Paul
Olefsky matched Mr.. Lywen's
technical bravura with his bril-
liant gymnastics in Chasins'
"HumoreSque Hebraique."
Mendelssohn was given better
than-usual treatment again with
Ronald Arnatt's playing Of the
organ Sonata No. 2 in c minor"
This was telling demonstration
Of the Importance of impeccable
rhythm in organ playing: the
piece had rhythmic profile and
was raised above the dull mean
dering it often seems in lesser
hands.
Jacob Barkin was heard in
a group of songs and as soloist
with the chorus. His powerful
voice was an appropriate match
for the heroic proportions of
Handel's Sound an Alarm" His
most expressive singing was in
the rhapsodic solo chants in
Janowski's "Cantata for Peace"
The Janowski work, with a
somewhat conventional use Of
modal harmony. achieves some
rich and brilliant choral tex
lures and a degree of dramatic
excitement. The Concert Choir
was well equal to the consider
able demands of this music, as
we'll as those Of the works which
opened the program. Occasion
ally one wished for less of their
Supercharged singing and for
more of their soft quality. which
they produced very well but too
seldom.
In addition to conducting the
choral works. George Manos
provided topnotch accompani-
ments for the string Of vocal
solos.

That there was an audience of
thirty-five or forty in Clendenen
Hall last night to hear the
American University Quartet is
proof that there is a considerable
number of people in Washington
with a taste for music who, for
one reason or another overlook a
good bet. Although the quartet
did not play too well, the recital
had life, body and interest.
The two fiddlers led off with a
canonic sonata by Telemann.
Each movement is an unaccom-
panied canon at the unison. The
quick outer movements move
along with a busy vigor and an
easy charm that belle the ex-
IRENE artificialness of the form.
CanonS always have had a Pc
culiar fascination for all must
clans, not only children who sing
Three Blind Mice" but also
composers who have not made
this strict imitation a major
feature of their individual style
Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven,
Schumann and Clement.
The Schubert cello quintet, the
only outstanding work for this
combination since Boccherini
and one Of the great master
pieces of chamber music, lacked
the necessary fire In the outer
movements and the necessary re-
pose in the slow movement.
Anton Won Webern was a pupil
Of Schoenberg. In comparison
to the disciple, the master is
usually thought of as mildly
conservative. The early Webern
quartet played last night must
have been a surprise to those
hearing it for the first time.
Sparse and spare, at times IRON
ically strident and at times
humorously sentimental, it is
nevertheless a thoroughly ro-
mantle and personal piece. It's
asperities and oddities were I'M
able to cover up its heart.
The Gardner Read piece for
string quartet is the work of
composer who, according to the
program notes. has studied with
PiZzetti. Sibelius and COPELAND,
and who has won major prizes
for his first two symphonies. In
my opinion. however. this work is
not evidence of an artist who has
yet found himself. It is we'll
written for the instruments, but
seems lacking in originality and
interest. Nevertheless, I would
like to hear it again when my
ears are not tingling with
Webern.

Peters: Litanies, Alain,
One Of the main purposes of
the festival of organ music now
taking place under the auspices
of the local chapter of the Amer
lean Guild of Organists is to
provide 'Washington'S students
and music lovers with an oppor-
tunity to hear some greater por-
ton of the vast organ repertoire.
That purpose was admirably car
ried out last night in an unus-
ually fresh program presented
by two talented young organists
appearing in joint recitals.
Except for three brief works
by French masters, Mr.. Ran
court addressed himself wholly
to the music composed by con-
temporaries or near contempo-
raries of Bach. His program was
given a curious excitement and a
subtle sense of drama because
the real hero Of the evening, the
immortal Johann Sebastian,
was conspicuously absent. Never
theless. his spirit pervaded the
recital.
The expressive works of such
neglected masters as Fischer,
Walther and Pachelbel set
Bach's towering achievements in
proper perspective as the cul-
mination of long and honored
tradition rather than the unique
creation of a genius.
Miss ingalls, program was de-
voted to the works of the 10Th
and Goth century composers.
Oddly enough. the music of such
minor masters as Kodaly and
Roger was not at all completely
overshadowed by that heard
earlier in the evening. No doubt
this was at least partly due
to Miss ingalls, entirely ap-
propriate use Of the Instruments
coloristic resources and to her
sensitive playing.
Most remarkable was the sense
of dedication, to the music both
artists succeeded in conveying.
Digital dexterity was amply
evident, but the music was clearly
the important thing. There was
no empty display of virtuosity
for its own sake.
