Probe Is Asked
OfHousing Pact

Senator Johnston, Democrat
Iof South Carolina, has demand
ed an investigation of a multi
million-dollar defense housing
contract he said had been let in
Puerto Rico 'in complete viola
ton of the spirit of the law"
Senator Johnston said in a
statement the Air Force has
admitted" that the Defense
Department authorized a con-
tract for 420 housing units at
the Ramey Air Force Base in
Puerto Rico without COMPETE
tive bids or publicity"
The Air Force sent the Fed
eral Housing administration &
certificate of need" last June
g and FILA is now reviewing the
situation to decide whether in
surance shall be granted for the
project
The contract was given to a
company headed by Francisco
F'ullana of San Juan, Puerto
Rico.
But the Air Force said, There
is no question of the legality of
negotiating the bid"
1t explained the contract was
negotiated instead of awarded
after competitive bidding be-
cause another company that had
done work at the Ramey base
showed no interest" in the
project and the Wherry Act, un-
der which the work is author
lied, is expiring at the end of
the month.
The Air Force added that an
explanation was given to the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee after a South Caro-
lima firm. the Long Construction

S1.3 Million Fraud

He accused K. P. HUI. general
manager Of the Yangtze Wood
Products Co.. as the ringleader
Of what he termed the biggest
case of corruption in Formosa
since the Nationalist government
transferred here from the main
land in 1949.

House Approves Bill
To Speed Action on
BaIky Witnesses

A House-approved shortcut to
contempt action against bulky
congressional witnesses went to
the Senate today.
The measure, passed by lInani-
nous consent In the House yes
terday. provides that q congress
sional committee may. by major
ity vote. seek q court order to
require q witness to appear and
produce evidence.
II the witness persists In re-
fusing to testify, he promptly
could be held In contempt of
court, at the discretion OF the
Judge who issued the order. The
penalty could be up to 81 900 fine
and six months in jail.
The. House Judiciary Commit
tee, in urging action on the bill,
said there Is no effective
means" to compel a witness to
appear before a congressional
committee or produce evidence.
The bill is intended as a short
cut to present procedure under
which witnesses may be held in
contempt Of Congress for failing
to cooperate. Securing a con-
tempt of Congress conviction is
q long, drawn-out process.
The new approach would not
disturb q witness right to decline
to answer questions by pleading
the Fifth Amendments protec-
ton against standardization.
But the witness would be re-
quired to appear.

ANGELS ANGELS

The English love of choral
singing has favored us with
another unfamiliar major
work, Cigars oratorio, 1.-The
Dream of Gerontius.
Elgar apparently put a great
deal Of effort into this lengthy
piece, which is set to a poem
by Cardinal Newman dealing
with death and the entrance
Of a soul into heaven. 1t is
quite impressive, and is re-
garded by some as Cigars
masterpiece. The music at
times recalls Brahms German
Requiem.
Sir Malcolm Sargent, a spe-
cial partisan Of the work, is
responsible for a recording
utilizing the Huddersfield Cho-
raj Society and Liverpool Phil
harmonic. The three soloists
are capable, especially Richard
Lewis. a tenor who has an I'M
commonly pleasing voice, and
the Huddersfield singers make
a very inspiring choir of an
gels. 1t seems appropriate
that Angel is the maker of

Every time the Budapest
Quartet performs. it amounts
to q master lesson for other
chamber music ensembles. Like
Toscanini. the Budapest is sui
generis.
The Budapesters' latest re-
corded project is the three
quartets Of Brahms. The play
ing is what one expects, which
is about as close to perfection
as would be reasonable to hope
for. If this set is less enticing
than the Budapest's Beethoven
or Mozart, it is owing to the
music. Brahms was less a
quartet writer than Mozart
or Beethoven, and there are
some who consider those he
did write dry and turgid. There
is no indication that the
Budapesters take this view,
however, for they lavish the
same sort of care for the
minutest details on these pieces
as on. their predecessors. The
recorded sound is exemplary,
too.
The A minor and B fiat
quartets have lately become
available in a London coupling
utilizing the Vegh Quartet, and
the B fiat has also been sup
piled by Angel in a reading by
the Quartetto Italiano. The
Veghs do a brisk, businesSlike
job, perhaps just slightly too
brisk with respect to some of
the lyrical requirements. The
Italians sentimentalize too
much for my taste. In neither
case is the reproduction as life
like as that Columbia accords
the BudapeSters.
