Newly Discovered Tomb In Egyptian Pyramid Empty On Opening

CAIRO, Egypt, R-The recent ly uncovered Sahara Sarcopha- gus" proved to be empty yester- day but its discoverer says he thinks he will find the real tomb of an ancient Pharoah deeper within the pyramid.
 Archeologist Zakaria Goneim, who found the sarcophagus May 31 beneath step pyramid he had discovered last December, said it was a symbolic tomb" and he expects 'sto find the real one somewhere else in the pyramid"
 The tomb was opened amid great secrecy yesterday, but a communique from the Education Ministry said it was empty. The ministry said work in the area, some 20 miles south of Cairo, will be suspended until late fall.
 After Goneim found the seven ton sarcophagus, he told news men he hoped to find inside "a royal mummy inside a wooden coffin ornated with gold" He be ieved it the last resting place of Sankhet, a third dynasty monarch who reigned over Egypt about 2,750 years before Christ.

Rains Swell Rio Grande To Predicted Greatest Flood in Its History

DEL RIO, Tex, REWhile heli- copters shuttled out. stranded train passengers in South Texas, the traditionally lazy Rio Grande awoke and roared today toward what was predicted would be it's greatest flood in history.
 Already it flowed at record height at Del Rio.
 The state Civil Defense head quarters said the Mexican town of Cuidad Acuna, across the Rio Grande from Del Rio was "com- pletely under water" and all resi- dents had been evacuated to higher ground.
 Out of the rain-laden skies of South Texas, IA helicopters shut tied to rescue passengers of a train stopped by high waters at Langtry, 60 miles up the river from Del Rio.
 Seventy Pullman passengers were evacuated by the helicopters before nightfall, weary but glad to be safe-the kids jumping with the excitement of 'copter ride.
 The helicopters flew thousand pounds of food to the 196 pas sengers still left on the train. Many of them were doctors re- turning from a medical conven- ton in San Francisco.

Passenger Suffers Hand Burns In Rope Rescue From Burning Plane

COLUMBUS, Ohio, R = John G. Rankin ate breakfast today with just his right hand. His left hand was still wrapped in heavy bandages from friction burns re- ceived last night when he and 30 other passengers slid down a rope from burning American Airlines plane that crashlanded after colliding with a Navy Beech craft here.
 Two naval reserve officers died in the crash.
 Rankin, 54, slid to safety after woman passenger stalled in front of him, afraid of the 25-foot rope plunge.
 'Iady," he told her, ''We've got to go."
 He said he grabbed her with his right arm and slid down the rope by his left hand. He suffered severe hand burns.
 Eyewitnesses on the ground said the Navy plane exploded in a ''ball of fire" spattered burning debris in the dusk, then crashed just east of the Port Columbus airport.
 Somewhow Capt. K. C. Pollard, pilot of the American Airlines passenger Convair, brought his ship safely to earth.
 A baby was dropped into the arms of it's parents, MT. and Mrs. Arthur Herman of Columbus, when they were unable to take the child with them down the rope.

| The first installation of fluor.
escent street lighting in northern
Ohio, and the first fluorescent sys-
tenn in the entire country for park
type roadways was unveiled
here last night at General Elec-
tries Nela Park.
Some 200 street and highway
lighting authorities from the U. S.
and Canada, who are attending a
two-day conference at Nela Park S
G. E. Lighting Institute, partici-
pated in the opening ceremonies.
The new Nela Park lighting sys-
tenn adds another facet to the ma
tionwide observance this year Of
Lights Diamond Jubilee. The jubi-
lee roadway lighting at Nela
shows the tremendous strides
made in lighting progress since
Thomas Edison invented his first
practical electric lamp bulb Is
years ago.
According to Kirk NJ. Reid, G-E
street lighting authority at Nela
Park, the new system serves a
two-fold purpose. 1t provides not
only greately improved lighting
for Nela roadways, but it also
serves as an effective demonstra-
tion of modern street lighting
practice, for city officials and
representatives of electric utility
companies.
The new system features So six
foot-long fluorescent luminaires,
as we'll as IA incandescent types,
and eight mercury lamp units.
The installation replaces a system
of ornamental post-top lanters
in use at Nela Park since 1920.
The fluorescent luminaires, each
housing four of G.E.'s new 100
watt Rapid Start fluorescent
lamps, are so spaced along the
roadway as to deliver four times
the illumination produced by the
previous system, and much more
uniformly. The installation is also
designed to provide efficient road
way lighting without requiring the
removal of valuable shade trees.
The unveiling was dramatized
by the waving of "magic wand
of fIuorescence" to signal the Off
cial turning on of the new road
way lighting system.
Following the dramatic opening
ceremonies, David A. Toenjes,
Nela Park street lighting special
ist, lead the group on an inspec-
tioa tour of the new installation.
He described the advantages of
the three types of street lighting
employed in the demonstration
and explained the reasons for their
selection at the various locations.

This streth of newly lighted
Nela Park roadway, by means of
fluorescent luminaires, curve S
northward from the GE Lighting
Institute toward the front of the
Application Engineering building.
Despite considerable tree foliage,
an ample amount of illumination
is delivered here for combined
auto and pedestrian traffic.
The lighting shown is part Of
newly installed roadway lighting
system at General Electric's Nela
Park, using fluorescent luminaires.
1t is the first Of it's kind in north
ern Ohio, the first fluorescent sys-
in the US. for park-type road
ways. The installation was un-
yelled May 10th.

Cerebral Palsy. This is the plea
of DR.. Gilman S. Hooper, general
chairman of the campaign and
president of the United Cerebral
Palsy Association Of Cuyahoga
County.
DR.. Hooper emphasized that
medical care and education for the
cerebral palsied child is tremend-
ously expensive and therefore
much of the money contributed by
the public is used to help families
financially by paying all or part
of the cost Of these services which
enable cerebral palsied children
and adults to lead happy and use
full lives. The goal is $68,000.

Nowadays. there Is much agi-
| tation. spoken and written. for
the contemporary or the little
known on our concert programs.
This is as it should and, we hope,
always will be.
But when musicians in an or
chestra can include Beethoven
overture and a Brahms SYM
phony on one program and play
them with verve and sincerity.
instead of with the jaundiced
eye of the "sophisticate." they
have proved a large part of their
maturity as a performing or
ganiZation.
As the National Symphony
opened its concert last night
with the Beethoven "Fidelio"
overture, there was fine string
tone and perfect poise in the
wind playing. More than this,
though, there was confident and
powerful momentum that can
only result from a firmly uni
fed concept In the playing.
Even stronger signs of this
were evident in the Brahms c
minor symphony at the pro-
grams end. Surely in all music
there is no piece more relent-
lessly serious. Only after more
than two decades was Brahms
willing to call the work done,
and it is every inch a creation
of the most careful construction
and slow, inevitable growth.
/ There is not an easy, relaxed
moment, and yet there is the
undeniable composure of a giant
tree with the deepest OF roots
and the highest, most perfectly
formed branches.
The playing Of Brahms last
night was full of contradictions
for, while almost every section
of the orchestra made some
rather bad slips, most Of the
time the playing was OF a ma
turity that made the chest swell
with pride for Washington's or
chestra. An underlying oneness
and conviction were present that
spelled an unmistakable coming
of-age.
Between the overture and the
concerto, DR.. Mitchell placed
three of Virgil Thomson's we'll
known musical portraits. Much
as Villa -Lobos has done with his
"Choros," Mr.. Thomson has
written dozens of these little
pieces for various media. From
the IL that have been orches-
trated, DR.. Mitchell chose
sketches of Aaron COPELAND,
Nicolas de Chatelain and Pablo
Picasso. These pieces are can
did and witty, as is Mr.. Thom-
sons musical criticism. But. if
one can judge from the works
of COPELAND and Picasso, there
is a perception that goes much
deeper.
The violin concerto of Jan
Sibelius, in which Werner Lywen
appeared as soloist, is one OF the
compositions that marks the
composer as an enigma of his
time. Over the whole work hangs
cloud that sometimes shifts to
reveal a brief flood of intense
warmth, only to settle again
like pail over the composers
innate but reluctant romanti-
cism.
Impeccable though his tech
nique is, Mr.. Lywen cannot be
best described as a bravura
player. 1t is somehow incon-
ceivable to imagine him play

/ ing a fiashy Paganini concerto,
though he would have no trouble
with the pyrotechnics. Mr.,
Lywen's tone is of the finest
textured silk. his technical ac-
complishment is superb but bles-
singly unobtrusive. and, given
the lines of a Beethoven sonata
or the elusive substance of the
Sibelius concerto, he turns in a
performance of subtle satisfac-
ton and eloquent design.
Mr.. Lywen's slips of memory
last night were undoubtedly as
inexplicable as the phenomenon
of memory itself. 1t makes one
wish that the rather foolish
custom of playing invariably
from memory were less preva-
lent in our concert halls. The
fact that his recovery from them
was SO complete is the most con-
vincing evidence that the mishap
was that and nothing else.
