The Chamber Chorus of
Washington. with Paul Galloway
as conductor and organist. last
night repeated at st. Johns
Church the all-Scarlatti pro-
gram given last month at Dunn
barton Oaks.
For too long a time Domenico
Scarlatti was only a respected
name in the music history books
and was represented on the
concert stage by a few one
movement sonatas. Now, within
the past year. he has emerged
as vital composer of church
music also. able to take his
place alongside the other giants
of the 18th century. This redis-
covery Of Scarlatti's choral
music is one of the important
acts OF this musical generation.
operate Influence.
Scarlatti Is, in his blend of
styles. a true child of his time.
On the one hand. particularly in
the G-minor Mass. traces of
modality and reserved, poly
phonic writing are typical. The
C-minor Stabat Mater, on the
other hand. shows traces of
operate influence in it's rich
color, its piling up Of dramatic
sonorities. and it's mixture of
solo coloratura and ensemble
passages. Mixtures of a capella
writing and writing with con-
tinuo accompaniment, as in the
Mass and the TIE Deum, re-
spectiyely, are further evidence.
The five sonatas for chamber
organ are closer to the Scarlatti
of the harpsichord sonatas, even
If they are slower in tempo than
some, and sedate as to move
ment. They are welcome addi-
tions to the organ repertoire.
Model of Musicianship.
Mr.. Callaway's conducting in
the choral works was a model
of intelligent. restrained must
cianship. His capable chorus
showed itself to possess sufficient
flexibility and tonal variety for
the music's purposes, and a quail
ity of information that seemed
flawless. His organ playing in
the sonatas was as competent as
his conducting. He is an organ
list whose rhythmic sense seldom
falters. and whose choice of tone
colors Is always suited to the
music he Is playing at the
moment.

agree to any more requests for
Investigations.
Red Stymie
So the inspectors stay in
the ports of entry going
through the motions of ex-
amining the men and ma
terials which come through
all Of which, of course, is le-
gitimate.
The picture is different in
South Korea. Inspectors are
free to 60 where they please,
but no Investigations have
been requested by the Reds.
Some complaints have been
filed. When q U. N. plane flies
over the neutral zone, for
instance, the Communists
complain. If there was a vio-
lation. as sometimes happens,
the U. N. side acknowledges
this and the incident is closed.
A major difference Of opin-
ion, however, has developed
over American shipment of
spare parts to South Korea
forces. The truce makers ov-
erlooked spare parts. There
are bans on rules governing
personnel and pieces Of equip
ment. But there is no pro-
vision for replacement of
spare parts.
Communist neutrals insist
the omission means no spare
parts can be imported and in
sist the United States stop the
practice. But this country
maintains that if spare parts
are not specifically banned,
then they are permitted, pro-
vided, of course, they do not
increase the overall strength
of the armies.
The Reds have never been
sufficiently concerned to ask
for a neutral investigation, so
the issue never has been set
tied. .
Probably the Communists
don't really care. They know
the u. N. forces in Korea are
being reduced, not increased,
so any limits on U. N. forces
are academic.
What to Do?
What can this country do to
secure better compliance from
the Communists?
The fact that the truce
works relatively well only in
areas that can be dominated
by U. N. guns indicates not
much can be done without
resuming the war. We can
protest. insist on observance
of the rules and even request
a renegotiation of the truce.
But without force of arms.
those courses are good for lit
tie but propaganda.

kind-interfere with enforce
ment in South Korea. But
that would weaken our moral
case and produce few, if any,
concessions from the Reds.
The United States, how
ever, frankly does not feel en-
dangered by Communist vio-
lations of the truce.
American intelligence knows
what men and arms have been
sent into North Korea. The
total is not enough to consti-
tute preparation for another
attack, SO the violations are
not believed to threaten South
Korea. Meanwhile, the two
western neutrals on the NNSC
keep posted on Communist
truce-breaking and in turn
keep Americas friends and
potential allies posted.
United Nations negotiators
had few illusions about Com
munist compliance when they
negotiated the truce, so the
dirty work has been unex-
pected only in its openness.
Negotiators at Geneva, with
the Korean example before
them, should be even more
thoroughly forewarned. Unless
prevented by force. the Com
munists certainly will take ad-
vantage of any division of
Wet Nam. any coalition gov
ernment or any supervised"
free elections.
That. of course, helps ex-
plain why the State Depart
ment Is seeking to avoid a ne
gotiated settlement in Indo-
China.

Athletes

If Pvt. G. David Schine had
been watching hearing held
over on the House side of the
Capitol last week, he would
have learned that there is
far more effective way of dodg-
ing KIP than to be a Commu-
mist hunter. The best way, ap-
parently. is to be a sports star.
Testimony before a House
Armed Services Subcommittee
last week indicated that Pvt.
Schine'S treatment was moth
ing alongside what CT athletes
got. Stars named included box
ers Sandy Saddler and Sugar
Ray Robinson and baseball
players Whitley Ford and Willie
Mays. Army witnesses con-
ceded that there were in
stances when these and other
men were permitted to be
athletes first and soldiers sec
ond. Some even had their serv-
ice time cut short so they
could go back to professional
sports.
The Army's defense was that
athletics builds morale. But
service spokeSmen said new
regulations already had been
put into effect to see to 1t that
big-name soldiers received no
better treatment than any
one else.

the loyal opposition outlined
this program:
First, foreign policy will be
an election issue. The Demo-
Gratis claimed that, fundamen-
tally, the Republicans were
embracing the old Truman
Acheson foreign policy. but
that they were running it with
incredible mismanagement. So
the Democrats agreed they
could attack the execution OF
the policy and also twit the
G. o. P. on the reversal from
it's campaign promises of a
liberation" policy.
Second. domestic issues will
be ripe for plucking by fall.
Democrats said they would
talk about the Republican un-
balanced budget. tax relief for
fat cats. unemployment for
the little man and give-aways
of Federal assets.
Third. Senator Joseph Nc
CarJhy finally looked vulner-
able Democrats planned to
toss him into official Repub-
lican laps and then blast both
the WiSconsinite and his party
for the "diSgraceful" Army
Mccarthy go-around.
And finally they hoped Pres
ident Eisenhower himself could
be saddled with at least some
of the blame for his admin
istratlon of confusion, contra
dictIon and impotence.

man sent home. Worn or
used-up guns, planes or sup
plies can be replaced, piece
for piece. But no additional
men or equipment can be
added to either side.
To enforce these provisions
the NNSC is directed to ex-
anime all replacements that
come through the 10 official
ports of entry-five for each
half of Korea-and, if they
have reason to suspect some
thing has been Sneaked past
those ports, go anywhere in
Korea to inspect equipment,

That sounds great, but it
simply does not work. For
all practical purposes there is
no neutral inspection in North
Korea. And in South Korea,
where inspection works, none
is needed.

in Communist Korea reveal
that the Reds have been
building up their strength by
the easy method of by-passing
the official ports of entry and
sending their men and sup
plies in through the other
existing, but illegal, routes.
The NNSC, made up of repre-
Sentatives of Switzerland,
Sweden, Poland and Czecho-
slovakia, know this smuggling
is going on; and the SwedeS
and Swiss want to investigate
and stop it. But the two Com

Clears q Legal Hurdle
By John w. Thompson, Jr.

Redevelopment in Southwest

legal barrier the other day.
Judge Edward A. Tamm
tossed out a suit aimed at
blocking seizure of property
in area B, the first Southwest
project. on the ground that
no condemnation proceedings
were underway against the
properties involved.
In effect, Judge Tamm said
the complainants were cry
ing before they were hurt.
adding:
1T follows that If and

point, to present evidence to

sought the injunction against

in a challenge of the con-
stitutionality of the Dis
trict's redevelopment act be-
fore a special three-judge ap-

longer will it take for China
