JoIos Has Words for It
Cues on S for Cincinnati
By DAY THORPE

II couldn't quite explain 1t to
your orchestra said Jussi Jalas.
the Finnish conductor, at q
luncheon given for him at Har-
Ivey's yesterday by Max jacobson.
press secretary Of the Finnish
Embassy.
Something wasn't quite right.
they weren't playing right. but
II couldn't think Of the word. :. :"
Mr.. Jalas speaks English
|fluently, and IL he couldn't think
LOT the word 1t was not because
he is q Finn, but because the
subject was music.
$50 said. Gentlemen. you
must play the passage more !. /.
more i. more better! They un-
Iderstood Immediately what was
wrong, they got it perfectly. and
the next time the music went
| fine. |"
Mr.. Jaias Is conductor of the
Finnish National Opera, and q
son -in-law Of Jean Sibelius. He
had appeared as guest on the
Ipodium Of the National SYM
Iphony Orchestra the night be-
fore. and was about to catch
ia train for New York, where he
lis learning what he can Of Amer
lean music---composition, per-
Torrance and education. He
Twill appear in Washington again
on January 3, as conductor Of
the Philadelphia Orchestra.
"Your orchestras are highly
intelligent" he continued. I'm
Ia New York rehearsal /. said:
)'Gentlemen, let us commence
four bars before letter F
r as in Philadelphia Not a
wrong attack. In Cincinnati I
brought the orchestra into the
score at letter S. as in Cincin-
matt. Not mistake"
The Finnish conductor should
stop worrying about his vocabu-
larry. He was telling about the
great soprano, now turned alto,
Aulikii Rautewaara.
We we're rehearsing, and I
said to her: 'Aulikii, won't you
let us have one of those won
derful low notes Of yours. the
ones that sound like a horses
er. q horses nose.
We dropped our forks and
lpeered at him.
mo, that's what ! said and
that's what I meant. Have you
ever felt the nose of a horse?
Its Just like the low register OF
Ia great alto"
Mr.. Jals is going to Dallas, q
place not on his original timer
larry, because, he says, he is fas-
cinated by all the Texas stories
he has heard.
Two Texans have lunch, and
as they leave the restaurant
they see o beautiful Cadillac at
1.-THE curb--next years model.
One Texan reaches in his pocket,
hut the ther says: No. let me.
You paid for the lunch
Perhaps I can buy lunch for

Americans greatly, but a Finn

them. There are many
Americans in Finland and they
all fall into one of two categories.
One is the kind your State De-
partment writes the little pass
port inserts for-'Be polite, show
an interest, don't flash your
money around Well, when you
have to tell somebody that, it's
already too late. But by far
the great majority of Americans
you meet and hear about in Fin
land, you only learn long after
that they come from the States. "
We asked Mr.. Jalas the in
evitable question about Sibelius
how his work Is coming on,
and If there is an eighth SYM
phony.
II really don't know" he re-
piled. I'VE don't ever ask that
question in Finland, because we
know he doesn't like 1t. Really,
even though I'm his son-in-law
and know Sibelius well, I tell
you honestly ! have never asked
him about the eighth symphony"

Free Coffee Contest
Ends in Victory for IS

The coffee war in the Com
merce Department printshop
ended today in a 66-to-2 victory
for the workers over the bosses.
This was the last day Of a
two-weeA bet over absenteeism.
All 66 employees showed up for
work. as they have since the
wager started. Their unblem-
ished attendance record began
when their two bosses bet them
$50 worth Of coffee they couldn't
do it.
I'VE thought sure we had them
whipped this morning" Foreman
Mitchell tMike) Bushery said.
There were several stragglers
around $3.50 and we thought we'd
won -
Mr.. Bushery and Supt. Hilton
Buddy White found themselves
in hot water the first Of this
month. Absenteeism was slowing
production. They hrewed up a
contest aimed at reducing days
Ioff among the staff.
They grouped the 66 employees
into six teams. The team with
the best attendance after two
weeks would win two workweeks
lof daily coffee from the losers.
A contestant careful about the
house rules inquired what hap
lpened II everyone worked every
day.
Mr.. White declared he would
pay for the coffee In that event
Mr.. Bushery offered to 60 halves
with him.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-16

ut seemed the safest bet In
the world" Mr.. Bushery said to-
day. We've never had two
weeks without an absentee"
With Sc workers getting 10
cent cup of coffee daily for two
five-day workweeks. the bosses
would divide a $66 bill.
But this morning someone
brought up the point that there's
the Christmas holiday. in the next
two weeks. Maybe the bill will
be for only nine days? Mr.
Bushery and Mr.. White bright
ened at the suggestion.
They frightened even more
at a report that q high Govern.
ment official would be coming
around to talk to them after
the official finishes a cabinet
meeting In the 1900 block Of
Pennsylvania avenue NV. with
a higher Government official.
They didn't want to identif.
their expected visitor. He is II
the Commerce Department
They did say they heard h,
wanted to get in on the bill
paying.
Mr.. Bushery said q neighbor
who read about his predicamen'
in The Star yesterday, decided
to help out by sneaking over y
his house and leaving q can o
ground coffee on his porch.
Then the mailman cam
along and accidentally kicket
the can over and the ground
went all over the porch" he said

1910 LAW OBEYED;;
CITY DROPS PHOTOS
IN ANNUAL REPORT

The annual report Of the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment will be a little late this
year--and stripped OF its
usual photographs of the
three District Commissioners
and the chief Of police.
It's all Because District Of
ficials discovered that a 1910
Appropriation Act bans the
use of pictures in annual
city reports. The report was
due three weeks ago.
So that next years report,
and possibly those of other
departments, can appear
complete with photographs,
the Corporation Counsel's
Office has been asked to
draft proposed legislation to
get the proviso rescinded.

would be given final authority
flor these assignments.
Localities would be authorized
Ito raise funds, through levies
against property subject to local
! taxation to be spent "for educa-
ltional purposes. They would
be empowered to receive and
spend State grants for the same
purposes.
That is the recommendation
that would implement the
changes contemplated in Section
E14i which bars payments to
private schools. In effect, 1t
would set up machinery for
raising funds for tuition grants
in private schools where the
public education system might
be abolished by the local gov
erning body. It also would pro-
vide the money for children who
refuse to attend integrated pub
lie schools.
Tuition Grant Provision
Another point in the Gray
program would require school
budgets to contain amounts for
payment Of tuition grants. The
IcommisSion saws:
This would be companion
Legislation to that dealing with
1.-THE assignment Of pupils and
compulsory education. It would
lbe designed to further prevent
lenforced indignation by provid-
ling for the payment Of tuition
grants for the education of those
children whose parents object to
their attendance at mixed
schools. Without such . meas
lure, enforced integration could
mot be effectively avoided since
many parents would then be
required to choose integrated
schools :"
! The amount Of the grant for
leach child could not exceed the
Total cost for educating each
pupil in average daily attend
ance in a particular locality
during the preceding school
lyear. The school board would
have discretion in providing for
Transportation Of those who
lqualify for tuition grants.
The State would reimburse
ANY locality one-half the addi-
ltional expenses II might incur In
payment OF tuition grants.
School boards would be per-
lmitted to transfer funds within
their operating budgets to meet
tuition grant demands not pre-
Iviously anticipated without the
approval Of the county boards
of supervisors or city councils.
which are the tax-levying bodies.
Provide Teacher Retirement
Employment Of legal counsel
Iby local school boards to defend
their actions would be author
Lied.
Teachers would remain under
the State retirement act. even II
they entered private schools
organized after enactment Of the
program. The report says:
"The purpose Of this Is to pro-

Those public school teachers who
many hereafter desire to teach

InnerLoopP Plea

Pleas by private developers
that the Districts inner loop ex-
pressway be kept away from two
multi million-dollar commercial
projects in Foggy Bottom were
considered To-Day by the Nation
al Capital Planning Commits
sion.
Also up for approval will be a
plan showing the use Of each
block in the 400-acre Zeckendorf
rebuilding proposal. Still to be
resolved, however, is q site for
the proposed Smithsonian Air
Museum which would not con-
fiict with the redevelopment
plan.
The planners yesterday heard
arguments for and against three
possible routes for the proposed
inner loop expressway in Foggy
Bottom.
CIV Property Affected
One Of the routes, recon-
lmended by District highway
lconsultants, would swing east OF
the Potomac Plaza apartment
Office building project on the
| old washington Gas Light Co.
property and also miss a pro-
posed building project Of the
Peoples fife Insurance Co. 1t
would, however. cut through
three blocks owned by the
George Washington University
lust west Of Twenty-third street
INV. and south Of Washington
Circle.
The other two routes would
affect the Peoples Life and
Potomac Plaza projects, but
leave the George Washington o.
property untouched.
Spokesman for the two COM
|mercial projects argued that
they have invested large sums In
assembling land for their prof.
|ects, and that construction was
imminent on each.
University Treasurer Objects
Henry w. Herzog. George
Washington University treasurer
argued. however. that the Dis
trict consultants' route would
destroy land the university
needed for expansion projects
With expansion, he said, the uni
versity could grow from $4,000
students to 10000. which also
would bring the city financial
benefits.
1--WE don't like to have prop
erty that cost us 81 million taken
from us and then have to spend
SIS million or Sc million for land
somewhere else," he declared.
Harry Merrick, representative
| the Washington Board Of Trade
supported the Potomac Plaza
and Peoples Life projects as the
kind of new business ventures
the board has been trying to
attract to the Capital.
Route Costs Estimated
The planners also heard a re-
lport-which carried no recon-
mendation-from a staff COM
mittee made up Of Federal and
District agency technicians
Based on present property value
assessments, the report esti-
mated that right-of-way acqui-
sition costs for the District con-
sultants' route would be $3.7 mil.
lion, as against $2.2 million and
l$2.7 million for the two alternate
routes.
In other actions yesterday. the
Planning Commission:
/. Voted approval of a site fol
! q statue Of Simon Bolivar. to be
presented by the Venezuelan
government as a gesture Of
Friendship to the United States
The site is a grassy plot in front
of the Interior Department
Building, bounded by Virginia
avenue and C and Eighteenth
streets NV.
2. Approved temporary Wash
lirgton street connections for the
proposed Constitution avenue
bridge over the Potomac near the
Lincoln Memorial. The tempo
Irary connections would serve
until the inner loop expressive!
system is built.

Langley by a 5-to-3 vote.
Under law, the CHA now must
reply to the Planning Commits
sion action taken today. The
commission, in turn, viii sub
NIT another report, after which
the CHA can announce its final
decision.
Special Committee Reports
The split vote was reflected in
the report Of a special commit
tee given the commission today
after a study of the planning
issues involved. In the report,
Committee Chairman Claude
Owen of Washington, and c.
McKim Norton of New York OPP
posed the Langley site and John
"A. Remon OF Washington sup
ported it.
In the commission vote, OPP
ponents Of the Langley location
were Commission Chairman Har-
land Bartholomew, Mr.. Norton.
Mr.. Owen. MIR Lehman, Senator
Medley and Leon Zach. repre-
senting the United States Army
Engineers.
In favor of the Langley loca.
ton were Mr.. Remon: H. J. Spell
man, Bureau of Public Roads
district engineer; Assistant Dis
trict Engineer Commissioner
Thomas B. Hunter, and Edward
y. Kelly. National Capital Parks
superintendent.
Would Change Plans
Mr.. Owen, in his committee
Opposition report. contended that
the CHA at Langley would drasti-
|cally change the character Of the
rural Langley area and consti-
|tute "a serious variance" from
the commissions plans for its
development. His contention was
that the CHA center would inevi-
ltably stimulate commercial and
residential development. He said
this might expand the areas
present population Of $4,000 to
more than $4,000 in 10 years.
His report also commended that
new highway facilities which
would be required to serve CHA
and new private development at
Langley would involve expendi-
lures "out Of all proportion to
the result to be attained"
4 Mr.. Owen said minimum road
improvements would include
widening Of Glebe road in Ar.
'llington at a cost Of SIS million:
widening Route 1913 near Chain
Bridge at a cost Of Sill million:
widening of Route 1913 near
Langley: extension Of the George
washington Memorial parkway
at a cost of $8.5 million. and inn
'lprovement to Chain Bridge.
Canal road and Weaver place in
Washington at q cost Of $22
million.
i Other reasons. his report gave
for opposition, involved questions
LOT water and sewage provisions
and Potomac River pollution.
/ Remon Questions Findings
/ Mr.. Remon, the dissenting
Icommittee member, disagreed
with the reports emphasis on
the seriousness Of access and
public utility facilities at Langley.
/ Mr.. Spelman said he felt the
committee gave little attention
to the basic question Of whether
Langley was a good site for the
lICIA. He also questioned that
1 all the road improvements listed
Jim the report would be essential
immediately
John Nolen, jr., commission
director, contended the Langley
lsite would give a heavy imbal-
lance in Federal employment
Throughout the area. He said
lit would mean $1,000 of the A.
1000 Federal employees in the sub
Iurbs would be concentrated lin
