Schubert's Octet has Just

formance by the Vienna Octet.
on London. If ever a piece de-
served more frequent hearings,
it is this one, but recruiting
the extra four players (clari-

bass) needed in addition to the
string quartet seems usually to
be an insuperable task.

Westminster gave us an
other Viennese performance q
while ago. The new one is a
bit sprightlier, the sound less
close-to. Both are good.
Curzon's Beethoven Concerto
Clifford Curzon, the most
POLITICALLY inclined of our cur
rent virtuoso pianists, has
turned out a new performance
of the Beethoven fourth con-
certo remarkable for its seren-
ity. While others have ap-
preached this music differ
emily, Curzon captures the
attention by his complete lack
Of flamboyance, and this is a
refreshing thing to encounter.
In no other Beethoven con-
certo would such a treatment
be so appropriate; in this one.
it has considerable validity.
Hans Knappertsbusch conducts
the excellent accompaniment
of the Vienna Philharmonic,
and London's engineers have
done a fine technical job.
Fourth Symphony Of SibeIius
The latest In Anthony Col
Inns London series Of Sibelius
symphonies is the fourth, and
listening to it I find it difficult
to understand why our orches-
tras Cor rather their conduc-
tors) insist on confining them
selves chiefly to the most IA
miliar Of the symphonies, that
is, the first, second and fifth.
This fourth, relatively sub
dued and highly lyrical, makes
an extremely pleasant listen
ing experience and would, I
think, wear well.
Both it and the fantasia
"Pohjola's Daughter" which
fills out part Of one side, are
played sympathetically by Col
Ans and the London Symphony
and quite stunningly recorded.

1t Is the National Library

The Senate Appropriations Committee has
voted to restore $7S5.38S of the $1294,SSS cut
made in the Library of Congress allotment for
fiscal 1855 by the House, and it certainly is to
be hoped that both groups now will agree to
granting the full amount needed in conference.
Unless this is done many skilled and experienced
employees of the Library must be dismissed
and the service of the Library both to the
Congress and the country at large diminished
accordingly in quantity and quality alike. The
Library has been on a starvation diet for many
years, and it is little short Of miracle that
its staff has been able to perform as creditably
as it has. To add to the existing difncultieS
by insisting upon arbitrary and obviously un-
wise contractions and restrictions would be
contrary to sound public policy.

status and function yields no other result than

The Narrowing Cop

So your only comment on "The Mar
rowing Gap" between the Russian ana
American arms race is that Ito main
tain or increase it will require con-
tinuing major effort" by the United
States. Why can't we see that the road
Of history is approaching q dead end?
An Air Force of 100000 planes. an army
of IS million men, and q navy 10
times its present size will not protect
this continent. There will be no effec-
tive defense against "The New Face
of War" which Thomas E. Murray Of
the Atomic Energy Commission said
could be fire, by blast. by radiation
ing universal destruction so that there
may be no further work for man to do
on earth.
Perhaps Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Eisen-
hover can find time to contemplate a
way out, over, or under the universal
death toward which history is rapidly
drifting. Unless the leaders Of the free
world and the Communist world evolve
and establish a world authority to con-
troll all military power, doomsday is
almost inevitable. Such q world au-
thority can result only from new
understanding of the nature of man
and society as different from the pres
ent view as present day science is diff
ferent from medieval philosophy.
The administrator likelihood Of
initiating and pushing such a new
course may be indicated by its refusal
to join the United Nations in adopting
a calendar in better accord with celes-
tial time.

Congress never from the start was ian arm OF

the property and the concern Of the whole
American people, and as such without question
it should be maintained adequately and oper-

Just what it says in the petition taught
by the Great Galilean. Bread is

In the model prayer Of Christianity's

children Of the common Father are
seated around one ample table. On
the arch above the Royal Exchange
Bank of London we get glimpse OF
that universal table in the words that
are there inscribed: "The earth Is the
Lords and the fullness thereof" That
means that all the good things neces-

MARYLAND Primaries

When Maryland's voters, Republican and
Democratic alike, go to the polls tomorrow TO
nominate q wide assortment OF candidates 1or
State and local offices, the curtain Will ring
down on a relatively listless primary campaign
by both parties. Only the vigorous battling
of Dr. H. C. Byrd and George o. Mahoney for
the Democratic nomination for Governor has
enlivened the contests for State poStS-and
even then the fireworks were less impressive
than those that have marked some previous
politicking in the Free State.
However. the Byrd -Mahoney contest was
spectacular when compared with the humdrum
Republican campaign for Governor. Governor
McKeldin feeling confident OF denomination
and reelection, has done little special cam
paigning. OF course, the Governor whetner
actually in a campaign or not, loses no oppor-
tunity to meet and talk to the voters from one
end of the State to the other
Both Dr. Byrd and Mr. Mahoney are strong
and colorful candidates on the Democratic side.
This is DR.. Byrd's first bid for the governorship,
although he has been regarded for years as
potential candidate He has the backing Of the
old-line regular" faction Of his divided party.
He has great strength in nearby Maryland,
where he has served so long as president, ath-
letic director or coach for the University OF
Maryland Mr.. Mahoney, as In his previous
campaigns for Governor and Senator has In
weighed against what he calls "boSSism" by the
Brooke Leblanc -SaSScer forces. And he has
criticized his opponent for continuing to accept
pay from the university during his absence
from the campus and for taking part in certain
'land deals" involving the university Certainly
the gubernatorial race for the Democratic NOM

This Property for Sale

There were somewhat grim overtones In
two business news stories appearing In the past
few days One dealt with the announcement
by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
that it was ending its anthracite coal mining
operations In Panther Greek Valley, Pennsyl-
vania The other was the report that Alexander
Smith, incorporated, will shut down perma-
nently its 4O-acre Yonkers, New York, plant and
concentrate its future carpet production In
new mill in Mississippi
In each case, labor troubles and strike
bound plants were the 'last straws" in the
company decisions although other economic
factors may have played a part. In the case
of the coal company decision there was the
unusual circumstance Of local Of the United
Mine Workers defying even q plea by UNIV
boss John L. Lewis in refusing to end strike.
It appears now the baking miners have not
only lost their jobs, but have killed the princi-
pal industry of an entire region. The trouble,
generally prevalent in the ailing coal industry,
was simply that anthracite, given prevailing
production costs, could not be mined cheaply
enough to compete with oil and gas. The
essence Of the Lehigh Companys proposal was
a stepping up Of production which would have
lowered the cost per ton without lowering wages.
Although several locals agreed to the company
offer, one refused and set up picket lines that
kept the euClIe valley OPcIdbAOAA OAOoSN' "a 'AOA"
by Mr. Lewis and his appeal to the local had no
effect.
In YonkerS the Smith plant and its weekly
payroll of 900 have been the backbone OF
the local economy. For several years past,
however, the Yonkers factory has been
money-losing proposition and a new plant re-
Gently was placed in operation in Greenville,
Mississippi union labor. company
proposal for an overhauling Of job classifica-
tions at Yonkers was rejected by the C1O
Textile Workers Union and the plant was struck
on June 15 The 109-year-old company then
announced it economically impossible" to
operate longer at Yonkers and said the factory
would remain closed.
Both of these crises have occurred in indus
tries more severely depressed than business as
a whole The blame cannot fairly be directed
at the labor unions alone but their part IN
raising production costs and their unwillingness
to compromise their final positions were major
factors in what has happened. The death, or
the transfer of an industrial activity that
virtually supports an entire community oovl-
ously is matter of concern for more than the
employer and employe Immediately affected.
These are neither the first nor the last of such
cases but they again to illustrate the over
tapping responsibility and dependence OF indus
try and labor and the broader economic dangers
when irreconcilability sets in.
