City Considers
Street Work
Bids Monday
Wide Publicity
Given Proposal
On Repairs Here

Lie City COInIllSSlOn VIII
consider bids on Key Vests
huge street program Mon
day night at their regular
meeting.
Brisk bidding is expected to re-
suit from the eity's decision TO ad-
vertise widely in an effort to at
tract as many contractors as pos
sible. Advertisements calling for
bids have been placed in news
papers in Miami, Jacksonville, Or
iando, Tampa and Tallahassee, &C.
cording TO City Manager Victor
Lang.
Bids Called
The bids are being called for at
the same time as those for a Navy
paving program, in the hope that
lower prices viii be obtained from
contractors hopeful that they'll
land both jobs.
The city bids viii be open at 8
p. m. Monday while the Navy will
take peek at their offers at 10
a. m. Tuesday.
The city's program, which will
cost an estimated $3.50, 900 is being
financed out of surplus funds from
the recent sewer project and from
the city's share Of state cigarette
tax receipts.
Surplus Funds
An estimated $50, 900 surplus has
resulted from savings in the sewer
project cost.
The original plan for the streets
called for the contractors to repair
streets torn up for sewer construe
ton, but when the bids went over
the estimate, that portion of the
contract was deleted. When il be.
came evident that savings in ad.
ministraiive and other costs indi-
Gated that there would be a sur
plus in sewer funds, City Manager
Lang devised a plan whereby the
money would be used for a street
paving program. The plan has the
Blessing of the government agen
cies who granted and loaned mon.
ey to the city for the sewer Job.
Commission Approves
The city commission heartily ap.
proved of Lang's plan at the last
regular meeting.
Twenty miles of streets viii be
paved under the program which
VIII probably get under way short
ly after the first Of the year, il
acceptable bids are received.
Reason for the delay, according
10 the city manager. Is that some
time viii be consumed in consid
ering the bids and that Il will re.
quire more time for contractors "a
move in their equipment.

the town more or less settled down

Flames Damage Plant
OF Arkansas Gazette
BY the Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 4.
"A stubborn basment fire. still
smouldering late today, drove
newsmen and other employees
out Of the Arksanas Gazette
building, caused considerable
damage and destroyed bound
volumes of the paper dating
back to 1925.
Gazette newsmen Sc up head
qaurters across the street in the
First National Bank Building and
started editing copy for the Sun
day morning edition.
City Editor Bill Shelton said
the paper would be published,
but that some editions would be
eliminated.
The Gazette-owned radio sta
ton, KLRA. on the third floor,
remained on the air. The daily
newspaper has published con-
tinously for 135 years. It is the
oldest paper west of the Missis-
sippi River.
News Editor Ralph Leach said
most of the old record copies
of the paper had been duplicated
on microfiln and stored else
where for safekeeping.
Many news, telephone and
electric circuits were disrupted
because OF the fire, although
the composing and press rooms
were scheduled to operate.

charm. Through its modesty and
appeal, its undeserved neglect
could be compared with that
of Brahms seldom heard Varia-
tions, Op. 9. an ingratiating
work that, though less preten-
tious, anticipates many pages of
the familiar. more grandiose sets
on themes of Handel and
Paganini.
With the pungent savageries
Of Bartok as a foil. after inter-
mission Mr.. Mcclure played

strongly different cast. Those of

his violin sonata on the same
theme) avoid the lu2uriance OF
the piano concertos in favor of
suavity and wit. The four Sec
tions of Schubert's Op. Is,
dubbed Fantasia, are all based
on his own song, der Wan
derer." With roots as far back
as the early baroque. Schubert's
great Fantasia-V Variations re-
vived a formal idea that was to
live throughout the romantic
era and, in its rhapsodic breadth,
pointed the way to the scope
and spirit of the symphonic
poem.
The facility and crystal clarity
in Mr.. McClure's technique were
particularly noticeable in the
Schubert Fantasia and the Rust
Sonata, although some of the
opening piece was marred by
nervous. unstable tempos. It is
often evident that he has power
to spare and ample ability TO
mold a line with tonal subtlety.
The musical insight suggested in
his playing is remarkably sensi-
tive and far-reaching.

Parliament Dissolution
Seen as Yoshida Holds 0ui
By tho Asseeiassd Press

TOKYO, Sunday, Dec. S.
Japan's political crisis moved
swiftly today toward climax
dissolution Of the Diet (parlia-
ment) or resignation Of Prime
Minister Shigeru Yoshida.
There seemed to be no ques-
ton it will be dissolution of the
Diet, probably Tuesday.
Anti-Yoshida Democrats and
the Socialists agreed yesterday
to introduce a no-confidence mo-
ton Monday and to join forces
to jam it through the lower
house Tuesday.
Mr.. Yoshida served notice he
will dissolve the Diet rather than
resign If the motion passes. This
will force nationwide elections.
Leaders of Mr.. Yoshida's Lib
eral conservative Party said
he will not act until the votes
on the no-confidence motion are
counted. There seemed little
chance the vote will 60 in his

A Messiah. in the grand man

It was announced at the last
minute that Rilla Rowe Mervine.

and that Ruth Hall, one of the
most accomplished and depend
able singers of Washington,
would take her place. While it
would be a bit laughable to say
that any experienced church
singer stepped into the Messiah
unprepared, it is true that Mrs.
Hall undertook the difficult part
without forewarning.
She was poised, not apparently
nervous, and she sang superbly,
her warm, sober and accurate
voice beautifully sustaining the
long expressive phrases of such
pieces as "He Shall Feed His
Flock"
Chorus of $50 Voices.
Janice Harsanyi, the soprano,
was also very good, although her
voice was at times timid and
constrained. Neither male sing
er was a credit to the quartet of
soloists. Besides being off pitch,
both sang without conviction as
to the meaning of the words,
or as to the pace and climax of
the melodies.
The chorus, a very large one
of perhaps $50 voices, was drawn
from four local churches, and
trained separately under differ
ent choirmaSters. Under the cir
cumstances, you expected to be
immersed in the glorious sound
Of the big Messiah choruses,
rather than to find much finesse

ensemble.
On the contrary, the chorus

6 Doomed for Plot
On Nasser, | Spared
By The Assoeioied Press

CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 4.-Six
leaders of the Moslem Brother
hoods underground secret order
were sentenced today to be
hanged for plotting assassination
of Premier Canal Abdel Nasser
and overthrow of the military
government of Egypt.
The brotherhood itself was
ordered destroyed.
The life of a high brotherhood
official who supposedly was aloof
from the underground was
spared by Col. Nasser's regime
by a communication late tonight.
The drastic actions to wipe
out the leadership and suppress
the fanatic organization alto
gether were ordered by a special
military court after trials grow
ing out Of the attempt to kill
Col. Nasser.
Seven other brotherhood lead
ers, nabbed in a roundup after
an assassin tried to shoot down
Col. Nasser in Alexandria, Octo-
ber rs, were given sentences
ranging from Is years to life.
The shooting brought the dis
missal last month of Egypt's
president, Maj. Gen. Mohamed
Naguib, accused Of abetting the
revolt plot.
The death sentence commuted
to life in prison was that of
Hassen el Hodeiby. Supreme
guide of the fanatical brother
hood, described BY the prosecu-
ton as "unchallenged boss" of
the organizations secret army.
Hodeiby, formerly q chief Judge
of Egypt's high Court Of Appeal.
pleaded innocent to all charges.
Those doomed to die included
Mahmound Abdel Latif, who
made the actual attempt on
Premier Nassers life with eight
pistol shots, all of which missed.
