yi Program: Rny BIAS 5T Overture. and and
Symphony No 5, in d. MendeIssohn;
Homages. de Falla; Dances from Ga
lanta. Kodaly; Roman Carnival over
ture, Berlioz.
One would never have known
from the playing of the New York
Philharmonic under Dimitri
Mitropoulos yesterday in Consti-
tuition Hall that the orchestra
was concluding a strenuous tour
of the South. and that the men
were tired and eager to get home.
The orchestra was in top form.
The woodWindS were particularly
good, and the brass, who had as
much to do as in three average
concerts. were very impressive in
both brilliance and accuracy.
The interpretations of the va
ried music of Dimitri Mitropoulos
were all to my liking, the mar
velously live and colorful Refor-
nation Symphony of Mendels-
sohn being given a performance
that proved it once again to be
one of the masterpieces, in rhyth-
mic vivacity and orchestral
finesse, of nineteenth century
symphonies.
"Homages," one of the last
pieces of the great Spanish COM
poser, de F'alla, was the novelty
of the afternoon. 1t is a major
work, a series of four tributes to
colleagues of the composer-E. F.
Arbos, Claude Debussy, Paul
Dukas, and Felipe Dedrell On the
whole the music is more somber
and less markedly Spanish in
color than Ell Amor Brujo OF The
ee-Cornered Hat, but it is
much the same in style and tech
nique. The Debussy section. a
dirge, is somewhat reminiscent of
the slow movement of the harpSi-
chord concerto.
1t must be SpeclaI talent le-
quired of each member of the
Philharmonic to know how to in
terpret Mitropoulos' conducting.
The eminent conductor seems
usually to establish no beat at
all; he waves his arms and
bounces around the podium like
a doll on the end of string. This
comment is not deprecatory.
MitropouloS gets what he is after,
and yesterday that was very good
indeed. How he does it is a n1ys-
terry to the uninitiated.
Of the list of Is or 20 works the

where the part went beyond his
range, was his singing less than
excellent.
julie zabawa. singing the words
of Jesus, did his usual first-claSs
job; and his performance of the
bass arioSo. "Bethink thee, o my
soul" was outstanding. Likewise,
the singing of Julia Shonk, Peggy
Zabawa and Donald Robinson in
the smaller roles was beyond re-
proach.
George Koehler provided taste
full and reliable accompanlmentS
at the organ. His senSitivity in
support of the taxing tenor rec
itatives is especially to be COM
mended. H. u.

dio show. and Webb remembered
that he did a very funny drunk
act. Although Sid's role had no
bearing on the story, Webb was
so pleased with what he saw at
rehearsal that he expanded the
bit by at least five minutes.
A lot OF people who saw the
show thought they were in on
the discovery of Sid as an actor.
Many didn't recognize him from
his song duets with young
O'Connor because he had dis
pensed with his toupee.
Sid's acting days go back to
the early sos. He was a member
of a movie kid gang which pre-
dated the Dead End Kids"
One Of the gangs early pictures
was Mayor Of He'll with James
Cagney.
When movie work got scarce
Sid switched to radio and for
three years played Terry, the
office boy in Ann Sothern's
"Maisie" series.
He met Donald O'Connor at
the Orpheum Theater here when
playing the same vaudeville bill
in 1889. Sid was teamed with
frankie Darro and George Offer
man in songs. dances and imita-
tons. Donald was with his
mother and father and two
brothers, who billed themselves
as THE O'Connor Family"
Despite a whole new batch Of
offers for acting roles as a re-
suit Of his drunk bit on Drag
net" Sid now is holding out to
be a director.
He got his feet wet as director
of Hoagy Carmichael's Saturday
Night Revue" show last summer,
and did a more than creditable
job Of it.
1T was just enough to give me
a yen for the more creative as
poets of the business" says Sid
in discussiong his desire to direct
his own shows.
However, it's going to take some
time yet before he can live down
that fine job of acting he accom-
plished as the drunk on his way
to Pismo Beach.
While Sid was telling me about
his future plans. a stranger
walked up to him. and with a
knowing grin on his face, said:
boy! Were you loaded on that
'Dragnet' show!"

Actors continue to be amazed
at how a few brief minutes on
TV can skyrocket them to a pin
nacle of fame which they hadn't
managed to reach during years
of working in movies, radio OF on
the stage.
A particularly juicy part on
highly rated TV show will net
them more fan mail and lucra-

could garner in a year from a
starring role in a hit movie.
Such new-found fame can
prove disconcerting to an actors
ego, too. Sidney Miller has been
experiencing this reaction during
the past few weeks.
Sid has been around Holly
wood since he was Is years old.
In the past Is years he has ap-

brought his fan mail to a new

 Anderson said he realized he was sticking his neck out in taking on the rest of the territory for the contest, but he had confidence that the many volunteer workers and the generous members of his chap
 e. would Outdo themselves this year in the great fight against polio.
 Henry Simpson and Marguerite Dudley, both experienced cam paign directors, have accepted the challenge and are urging the peo- pie of their chapters to show An derson that he really did stick his neck out in challenging them to the contest.

 Approval of Albert Beeson To Labor Relations Board

WASHINGTON, lR The Sen late Labor Committee Tuesday ap- proved Albert C. Beeson by a straight ' to party line vote as a member of the National Labor Relations Board.
 The vote came soon after John L. Lewis denounced the Eisen- hover appointee as a "self-styled union-buster."
 And, immediately after the vote Republicans and Democrats hurl- ed charges at each other from the committee bench.
 Sen. Lehman D-NYO accused Republicans of "an attempt to steamroller the nomination thru the committee without hearings sufficient to disclose all the facts" ,"
 Three Republican members ac- cused the Democrats of delaying tactics" and steam-roller in re- verse;"
 The vote came after a stormy session during which Sen. Smith R-ND, committee chairman read into the record a telegram from Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers. Lewis said Beeson, formerly San Jose, Calif., busi- ness man, possesses an astonish- ing :bias' against union labor.
 Smith called the message "a wonderful display of rhetoric"

Way Cleared For
 Separation Of Two Statehood Bills

WASHINGTON, R- The way apparently was cleared Tuesday for separation of the question of statehood for Hawaii from that of statehood for Alaska. Sen. Dwor- shak R-Idaho), key legislator in the situation, dropped his stand for a combined bill.
 The Eisenhower administration had aimed for separate considera- ton for Hawaii. Its plans were upset when DWorshak voted with Democrats in the Senate Interior Committee last week for a com bined bill.
 Tuesday, Dworshak announced a switch of positions by issuing the following statement
 II have withdrawn my insist ence that both Hawaii and Alaska be considered in a single measure.
 ''The reason for my action last week in voting to include Hawaii and Alaska was to insure con- sideration of statehood for both territories at this session.
 Now I have received assur- ances from chairman Hugh Butler of the Senate Committee on In terior and Insular Affairs, and from Sen. Guy Gordon, chairman of the subcommittee that a sep arate bill, now being perfected, which deals with Alaska, will be reported out within 30 days. This, l feel will accomplish the purpose of consideration for both territor- ies this session.

In battle for first place in the second half league play, the Nome Merchants fought off a de- termined challenge of the Detach- ment 23rd 39-34 while the 10th Radio knocked over the Air Force Five at the high school last eve ming.
 The win by the Merchants was their 18th in row over the local opposition and with about five games left on their schedule, they stand a good chance of remaining undefeated for the rest of the sea- son.

In the third quarter they out ran the opposition to jump the total of 31-17. However, during the remaining period, sparked by Jones, Kistler and Ellis the De- tachment team outscored the Mer- chants and closed with a rush be- fore time caught them 39-34.
