Merchants And NanOOks Bow To Army and Air Force In Hoop Opener

A good crowd of about 200 was on hand to initiate the first regu- lar basketball game of the sea- son last Friday night. The Army Bruins lived up to their pre-sea- son exhibition showing by drop ping the Nome Merchants 68-57.
 The hot shooting Bruins were in control from the start and even though they held the command ing edge all through the game it was no. runaway. The Merchants, with only five men, staged a de- termined battle, but the difference in height and in reserve strength of the Army proved too much for them. Roberts, the high point man, contributed 20 points to the Army score, and Williams and Nershak made 13 points apiece for the Merchants. Quarter scores were: 14-12, 32-19, 56-33, 68-57.
 In the second game, the Air Force nosed out the determined Nome Nanooks team 49-43. It was a fast, action filled game with both teams battling down to the final whistle. High point man for the Jets was Jackson with IF points and for the Nanooks, Will oya made 14 points with Herman following close behind with II,
 Referees for the second game were Homer and Roberts.
 The new rule on common foul shots was used in the second game and will be used from now on. It is that on foul shots, the player will get a second bonus shot if the first is successful. This rule emphasizes better marksman- ship on the foul line and will make for less fouling.

Ike Bags Duck Limit in In Half Hour, Then Gets Five PheaSantS

TOLEDO, Ohio, R-President Eisenhower was in Ohio over the weekend as the guest of Secretary of the Treasury George Hum phrey for a round of Lake Erie marshland duck hunting off Mau- mee Bay, IA miles east of Toledo.
 The Chief Executive fired at ducks Friday for the first time in 20 years and brought down the daily legal limit of four in the first half hour of shooting.
 Thus foreclosed from further duck hunting that day, the Presi- dent trained his sights-in the secluded Cedar Point Club area on pheasants, on which there was no limit. He bagged five in 2H2 hours.

 The summer White House at Denver announced on Oct. 2 that the US. Navy icebreaker Atka would conduct mapmaking and research operations in the area, with no permanent shore base established.
 This announcement apparently was the basis for rumors, flatly denied by the State Department and the Atomic Energy Commis- sion, that the US. contemplated testing hydrogen bombs in the Antarctic. The rumors had occa- stoned much controversy in New Zealand elections last week.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, R-The body of Fred B. Snite Jr., sealed in the iron lung in which the famed "boiler kid" died, awaited removal to Chicago Saturday for funeral services that will signal ize the end of a valiant fight against a crippling disease.
 The brave victim of infantile paralysis died in the iron lung Friday at West Palm Beach where he had gone the day before to take part in bridge tournament.
 He had lived in an iron lung longer than any other person-l8 years and ' months, the greater part of his adult life.
 The body was encased in the large metal cylinder, loaded upon it's special bus, and returned to Miami Beach, where the Snite family maintains an estate.

Photo of Diplomat, Bare-Chested Girls Starts British Row

LONDON, tR-A picture of a smiling British diplomat hand in hand with two re-breasted Bor- neo girls touched off a row Satur- day between two London news papers.
 The diplomat is Malcolm Mac Donald, commissioner general for Southeast Asia, whose job is to coordinate British policy in the area.
 The controversial photo, splashed over six columns of the tabloid Daily Mirror, showed him walk ing on a beach with, the dusky daughter and niece of Dayak chief in the headhunting country of northwest Borneo. The girls wore only necklaces above the waist.
 A columnist of the conservative Daily Telegraph first mentioned the picture two days ago, saying it showed the "transgression of limits to which policy justifies the discarding of dignity
 The Mirror jumped to Mac Donald's defense Saturday with an editorial blasting the Tele- graphs attitude as "babyish."
 "The truth is," said the Mirror, "that it is hot in them parts

Perhaps Of greater novelty
interest is another Capitol
disc pairing two works for
saxophone. a rhapsody by De-
busy and a lively Concertino
by Jacques Ibert. DebusSy's
piece was orchestrated by
some one else but remains
faithful to its originator. Its
orientation is Spanish. The
soloist with the Paris Philhar-
monic, under Manuel Rosen-
thai, is Marcel Mule. who prob
ably is everlastingly grateful
for this opportunity to dis
play his craft. which he does
in stellar fashion.
Non RodicoI Schnobel
It is interesting to listen
to the s. P. A. recording of
Artur Schnabel's piano con-
certo which has just come
along, because of the late
Beethoven specialists compos-
ing reputation as an extreme
atonalist. This work, ably
played by Helen Schnabel, his
daughter in law, Sugges
Richard Strauss, or Saint
Saens. It was written in 1901
before Schnabel turned rad
ical. One wonders why he
was SO modest about display
ing it in this country, although
its inspirational level hardly
challenges that of his pianism.
A group of Schnabel songs on
the oversize is sung with
rather limited vocal appeal by
Erika Francoulon.
The latest Stokowski product
ought to find favor with those
who admired the Bali dance
troupe that was touring here
abouts not too far back. This
is suite by the contemporary
composer Lou Harrison, writ
ten for violin, piano and small
orchestra. Harrison'S claim to
special fame is his addiction
to Orientalia, and the special
distinction of this music is it's
inclusion of the peculiar in
Strumentation of the Gamelan
orchestra, namely am-tam, as
sorted gongs. etc. Once you
settle down to it all this is
quite diverting. Some rather
bleak vocal music in the 12-
tone system, by Ben Weber,

STILL MORE ON JANKo
The many calls and letters
the music department has had
during the past fortnight about
the Janko piano are evidence
of a surprisingly wide interest
in this curiosity. Unfortun-
ately, the several requests for
a picture of the instrument in
The Star cannot very satisfac-
torily be complied with as the
keyboard must be seen in three
dimensions to be appreciated.
However, the Janko at the

that when she was a pupil at

Turnt0bIe Talk

The National Symphony
Orchestra has now made its
long-playing record debut with
two discs. issued by West
minister. One contains the Sec
ond and third symphonies Of
Paul Creston. and the other
the Brahms violin concerto.
The Creston works, I think.
are q particularly apt choice.
for q couple Of reasons. For
one, American composers still
get such parsimonious treat
ment from symphony orches-
tras and recording companies
that any gesture in their direc-
ton is one to be applauded.
The other reason is that the
National Symphony. both by
it's name and location and in
the circumstance Of its possess
ing an American-born con-
ductor, is especially well fitted
to give native, music a boost.
Creston's music, which is
individual but not especially
radical, is melodious and direct
enough so that it should prove
palatable to a good many per-
sons who may still have reser-
vations about their own taste
for contemporary products.
The Second Symphony. fin
ished in 1914, is a vigorous
two-part affair embodying the
composers interest in song and
dance form. The Third SYM
phony, which I like somewhat
more, has the subtitle Three
Mysteries" and three sections
labeled "The Nativity" "The
Crucifixion" and "The Resur-
.rection," and is built on melo-
dies of Gregorian chants. 1t
was completed in 1850.
PIoyed With Spirit
The two recorded perform
ances reflect the evident en-
thusiasm Of Conductor How
ard Mitchell for the music.
The playing has high spirit,
and the Westminster recording
technicians have done a not
able job of capturing the in
strumental detail and the rich
colorationS of the scores. The
record jacket reproduces a con-
gratulatory letter from the
composer, so one can assume
the recordings meet all sig
nif1cant requirements.
Julian Olevsky, the soloist
in the Brahms concerto, is still
in his twenties, and consider
ing that fact he seems to be a
more than usually able per-
former. He possesses a solid
technique and the capacity for
producing a rich tone cat least
insofar as microphoned tone
can be Judged. What he still
chiefly lacks, it seems to me,
is either a sufficiently ripened
conception of the music or
enough record-making expert
ence to provide the necessary
Spontaneity. On the whole this
performance never quite leaves
the ground. The engineering is
impressive. although the solo
violin does not seem to be a
uniform distance from the
fnicrophone in the three move
mentS and the total sound
might have benefited from
added spaciousness in the re-
cording surroundings, or fewer
drapes.

Dances" which preceded his

Like Toscanini. he is equally
at home on the concert stage
and in the opera pit. Several
years ago, when there was
wide spread dissatisfaction
with Barbirolli in New York,
there was an almost successful
effort to engage Furtwaengler
for the Philharmonic-a move
that came to nought largely
because of the anti German
feeling of the time, and also
because some felt it inadvis-
able to burden q man whose
reputation could no longer be
enhanced with the job Of re-
building an orchestra that had
fallen on evil days.
I do not know whether or
not Furtwaengler has con-
Quoted in Washington before,
but certainly Walter Gieseking
is not new to this scene. He
played with the National Sym
phony in 1899, and gave a ire
cital" here at least as early as
1890. Those were the days
when if you were well enough
heeled you could acquire the
best in culture without vast
ing time in doing so. A series
of concerts at the Mayflower
Hotel presented a dual-recital
(not a joint recitaD each week
in which two Of the most illus
trious drawing cards of the
day presented their wares as
expeditiously as possible but
in any event in not more than
so minutes. Gieseking. for ex-
ample, would play a Bach
gigue, and a Debussy prelude
and then pick up his check;
whereupon Bori, for example,
would sing "Du bist die Ruh'"
and the Brahms Cradlesong,
and do likewise. Then it
would be time for lunch.
Today. Gieseking is probably
the most universally admired
pianist in the world, with a
command Of nuance and ex-
preston unequaled by his
rivals, although perhaps with
out the widespread appeal in
this country of such men as
Rubinstein and Horowitz. AL
though not in the class of
Gieseking, Casadesus, another
pianist on the Hayes list next
year. is an attraction that ex-
cites more than usual interest.
In addition to the names
already mentioned, there are
scheduled to appear the De
Paur Infantry Chorus, Jussi
Bjoerling, and the London Fes-
tival Ballet. Taken all in all,
a very enterprizing and COM
mendable usical under
taking.
