ewInsurunce
PIun Discussed
BY The Associated Press

Representative vinson. Demo-
crat, Of Georgia, expects Con-
gress to be asked to set up a
voluntary health insurance pro-
gram for dependents Of service
men.
Mr.. Vinson, chairman of the
House Armed Services Commit
tee, said yesterday committee
staff experts and Pentagon Off
Gals now are discussing such a
program. He added that he
hopes these talks will produce
formal legislation by June /.
The general plan is to estab-
lish for service dependents the
equivalent of civilian hospital
and health insurance programs
now maintained by many large
corporations.
The coverage would apply only
to dependents, because the serv-
iceman or woman now is entitled
to full medical care while in
uniform.
ut must be an optional plan,
not mandatory" MIR. Vinson said
in an interview.
Still to be worked out are such
details as whether the insurance
would be financed entirely by the
Government or would also involve
contributions by the servicemen.
In the latter case, committee Off
Gals said, the rates probably
would be lower than standard
civilian insurance because only
the dependents would be in
volved.
Up to now there has been no
insurance program for military
dependents. Most of them are
receiving some medical care
through the services.

Businessmen
To Study Idea
OF United Fund

Washington businessmen will
have their say this week on the
question of whether a United
Fund drive will be set up here
to combine charity appeals.
| The Board of Trade will hold
! two meetings this week on the
subject, which has risen to
prominence all over the country
in the wake of increasing COM
petition for public donations.
The first meeting, at 1890
pm. Tuesday in the Willard
Hotel, will bring together about
so of the areas largest employ
ers, who together employ about
10000 workers. They will be
asked what kind of United
Fund drive they would support.
The second session on the
subject will be the Board OF
Trade general membership meet
ing at 8 pm. Friday in the May
flower Hotel. Ray A. Expert,
executive vice president of the
Burroughs Adding Machine Co.
of Detroit, will explain how a
United Fund has worked in that
city.
Detroit was one of the first
and most successful cities to
join the growing United Fund
movement. Since it was first in
stalled there in 1949, more than
600 other cities have adopted
the plan.
A fundamental of any united
effort here would be more extern
sive use of the payroll deduction
plan. Other features to be con-
sidered in combining presen:
charity appeals are the selection
of the agencies which would par
ticipate, the apportioning OF
funds among them and the set
ting of campaign goals.
A number of agencies which
would be expected to join 8
United Fund have already ex-
pressed their willingness to dc
so. They include those dealing
in health, welfare and recreation
services.

became the center of a con-

though it did not impugn his
loyalty.
Last February IA, DR.. Henry

Chamber Asks
Union Shop Ban

The United States Chamber
of Commerce policy committee
called on Congress yesterday to
outlaw the union shop and urged
additional States to enact So
called right-to-work laws.
This declaration and others
will be submitted to the cham
ber's 43rd annual meeting which
opens in Washington tomorrow
Delegates, their wives and
visitors are expected to number
$500.
President Eisenhower is sched-
uled to address the opening ses-
sion tomorrow which will be
held in Constitution Hall. Pro-
posed new policy statements will
be submitted to the delegates
at a luncheon Wednesday at the
Mayf1ower Hotel.
Wire Tap Proposal
Another policy statement to
be submitted calls on Congress
to permit the use of wire-tap
evidence obtained by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation in GRIM
inal cases involving subversion
which are tried in Federal
courts. This declaration speci-
f1es that the wire tapping shall
be expressly authorized by the
Attorney General.
Other new policy proposals
would:
l. Oppose any attempts by
Congress to make the District of
Columbia unemployment COM
pensation law a model for SINH
lar State laws. The committee
contends that the per capita in
come in the District is among
the highest in the Nation and
employment conditions here are
not typical of conditions else
where.
2. Indorse the Governments
support of a United Nations re-
view conference to reappraise
the UN charter. The proposal
urges this country to support an
agreement on subjects to which
the veto will not apply, specific
ally admission of new members
and peaceful settlement of dis
putes.
3. Favors expansion of an
earlier policy statement on in
naturalization of less developed
countries. 1t is pointed out that
economic growth of foreign coun-
tries creates greater buying
power, better markets and higher
living standards.

Glen d. Johnston of Roanoke,

National Symphony Orchestra. The
odors Vavayannis. guest conductor.
Overture. Weber: Saint Barbara Esa-
gogi, Varvoglis: Concerto No. 4. in g
Opus So. Beethoven; Symphony No 4.
in E minor, Opus 9S, Brahms.
Theodore VavayanniS, regular
conductor of the State Sym
phony Orchestra of Greece, who
was heard last night as guest
conductor of the National Sym
phony, is a highly skillful and
proficient director. During the
concert I remarked that he must
at one time have directed an
amateur choir, since there never
was any doubt exactly what eff
feet he wanted, and a program
note confirms my observation.
MIR. Vavayannis led the National
Symphony as though he had
been accustomed to the orches-
ira for years, and the Symphony
responded as though it knew
every within of its guest.
After a poetic reading of the
Freischutb Overture, Mr.. Vava-
yannis introduced to America a
composition by a compatriot--
Saint Barbara Esagogi," by
Varvoglis. It is not a strong work
and though it may present
themes familiar to a native
Greek, to a foreigner it shows
no indication of nationality
whatever. 1t might be a stu
dent work of D'Indy, or an over
ture to forgotten opera by
Dvorak.
Nowhere were the gifts of the
guest conductor more noticeable
than in his collaboration with
George Manos, the regular pian-
list of the Symphony, in the G
major concerto of Beethoven.
Pianist and conductor were in
perfect sympathy in their inter-
probation of the music. Mr.. Ma
nos, beset by nervousness for a
few minutes at the beginning,
recovered to give a brilliant read
ing of the favorite work, and Mr.
Vavayannis provided an exem-
plary orchestral accompaniment.
The post-season audience was
not large, but it was enthusiastic
in its applause. There have been
guest conductors from overseas
this season who have arrived
with greater reputation and a
greater following, but none has
shown himself to be a more
thorough musician.

Theme Of Paisielio. Nathan Lerner;
Quartet in F. John q. Koch.
. The local chapter of the Ma
tional Association for American
Composers and Conductors last
night gave three members an
opportunity to hear their own
works.
The opening number was a
quartet in three movements by
Walter Carl Summer. 1t was a
surprisingly traditional work,
helping itself literally to a wide
assortment of Brahms and
Dvorak cliches. The perform
ance had a rather modern sound
because of the vagaries of
rhythm and information INDUCED
in. by the violins and viola. One
theme, toward the end of the
slow movement. sounded gen.
uine and original. When the
composer can write a whole work
like this it will be a real con-
tribution.
The Evening Music for Violin
and Piano" by John Stephens,
promised by the program, failed
to materialize. In it's place was
heard a set of free variations for
violin alone on theme of
Paisiello, played by the composer,
Nathan Lerner. These were
scarcely free enough to merit the
title, "Improvisations."
The concluding work was a
virile and contemporary work by
John G. Koch, now studying at
the Juilliard Institute. 1t is
limited in variety. Too much of
the time all four instruments are
playing high, and in the same
rhythmic figures. and there is
very little Of real counterpart
even in passages which pass the
buck from one player to another.
Nevertheless, 1t is a stimulating
composition, and one whic h
shows real promise. 1t was well
played by quartet of musicians
from the Air Force.
