Montgomery County sentinel., 1955-03-10

The petitions were presented
by Tracy Coleman, president of
the Colesville PTA, who said he
was representing himself and a
voluntary group of citizens.
He named among his assist
ants Janet Miles, Rockville; Don
Bradley, Olney; Charles Grant,
Tom Coleman of Potomac; Mr..
and Mrs. Patton, Mr.. and Mrs.
Doonan, John Diamond of Rock
Vile; George Grimsley and Sam
Dawson.
He also said that a Mrs.
Hyatt" had been instrumental in
obtaining the signatures of many
colored citizens in the northern
part of the county.
One set of petitions carried the
preamble:
"We hereby affirm our allie
glance as American citizens to
support and defend the Constitu-
ton of the United States and
abide by the interpretations
made thereof by the Supreme
Court of the United States
we accept the Supreme Court
decision on the abolition of segre.
cation in the public schools of
Maryland whenever said decision
is announced and complemented
by necessary changes in the law
of Maryland now pertaining to
the school system.
1--WE hereby subscribe to and
support system of gradual inte-
grafton to be started after re.
ceipt of the final decision of the
Supreme Court and the revision
of the necessary laws of Mary.
land now pertaining to the
school system"
Mr.. Coleman indicated that it
might not be necessary, in his
view and that of his group, to
wait II years for integration. He
expressed confidence in the deci-
sion of the Board and asked
that eventual integration action
be taken:
/. With due regard for local
conditions and schools;
2. With school assignments to
meet local needs and require
ments; and
3. With a continuation of exist
ing transfer regulations.
In presenting the petition, Mr..
Coleman said that. had he and
his associates known the Board
was going to declare in favor
of gradualism, the petitions
might not have been circulated
or. presented.
Willard McGraw, Board presi-
dent, received the petitions with
the comment that the Board had
adopted no policy at present be-
yond waiting for legal clarifica
ton.
The petition, already presented
to some PTAs, may be sent to
others.
In other action the Board noti-
fled some 13 county religious
groups now holding meetings in
schools that they would be
forced to vacate June ] under a
ruling received from the office
Of the State Attorney General.
The law under which the State
official acted has been on the
statute books since 1921 but has
been dormant until now.

sky, organ and director).
The Church Of the Epiphany
last evening housed the fourth
recital in the series featuring
composer members Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia Federation Of
Music Clubs, Music performed
was entirely the work Of COM
posers residing in Washington.
This was an important event
not because the music was good,
because most of it was not: but
because it is a very fine and
healthy evidence of interest in
musical creation in the COM
munity. No composer has ever
learned to compose in a vacuum,
apart from the opportunity to
hear his own works. The COM
posers heard in this recital are
sincere and have the support
of their friends, who performed
the works.
The best work performed was
the setting of the l50th Psalm
by Maude Sewall. Based on the
third traditional psalm tone, the
work is built on logical motival
development of this idea. The
harmonies were interesting, the
counterpoint skillful and the
voice-leading clean and sure.
The hand of the well-schooled
composer was evident in the
shape of the work, its effortless
and convincing climax and the
lovely meliSmatic alleluias toward
the end.
The Morning Service Music"
of Torovsky showed considerable
skill, particularly in the choral
section of the third part. Here
and there in other works per-
formed were glimpses of good
melodic idea. skillful part-writ-
ing and other evidences of talent.
In general, the music showed
too much influence of the
Barnby- y-Dykes-Strainer kind of
religious music. Conventional
harmonies and time-worn phras-
ing propped up mosaics of melo-
die line which showed neither
unity of organization nor care
in fitting the words. And the
organ, that unfailing support of
the vagarieS of the village choir,
gurgled. moaned and rumbled
beneath, giving aid, no doubt,
but also obscuring the words and
the voices.

Hall Program: symphony No. S6. in
d. Haydn; Brigg Fair, Delfus; Ben
yenuto Cellini Overture. Opus 23. Ber-
ltoz; symphony. Walton.
The British Broadcasting Corp.
lent us its best conductor this
month to lead the Philadelphia
Orchestra Ii its home town,
again in New York and last night
here in Constitution Hall.
Sir Malcolm Sargent is an ex-
perienced and capable craftsman
who combines in his work the
most conspicuous gifts of two
other famous masters of the
baton--Louis Antoine Julien and
Fritz Reiner. A tall, erect and
1.-the man. he manifests the grace
and bodily expressivity of a bal
let dancer. and he has mastered
a showmanship of which Sto-
kowski could be jealous. On the
other hand, the results he got
from the great Philadelphia Or
chestra were remarkable-music
Of four widely contrasted styles
was presented meticulously and
brilliantly.
Earlier this week, Sir Malcolm
made the remark that every or
cheStra sounds different under
different conductors. and If the
thought smacked of platitude at
the time, the lively sound of the
Philadelphia Orchestra last night
and the ever-present sense OF qui
vive gave it great point.
Sir Malcolm is director of one
OF the greatest English orches-
tras-one notable for, among
other things, a repertoire from
which 1t can select music for 49
consecutive concerts without the
repetition of a single piece. The
conductor of such an orchestra
aSsuredly knows how to build a
good program. A feature of last
nights concert that impressed
many listeners was that it was
made up of unhackneyed music,
all OF 1t very interesting. and all
Of 1t with a large common de-
nominator Of popular appeal.
The Haydn symphony, like so
many of its fellows, fills the lis
tener with the conviction that
he is hearing the most beautiful
music ever written; the Delius
could be called a highly success
full piece of English impression
'sm, if that expression did not
bear the unhappy conotation of
British maypole mannerisms;
and the rouSing and colorful
Berlioz overture was placed pre-
cisely right in the program to
make most effective its stunning
performance.
It was the Walton symphony,

Sir Malcolm Proves Snowman
As Well as Gifted Craftsman

three-quarters of an hour long
and 20 years old but strangely
enough seldom heard. that was
the piece de resistance.
Fundamentally, the symphony
is a conservative piece in which
Walton makes use of all the
tricks of an orchestrator of
genius with a modern orchestra
at his disposal. BY leaving the
other problems Of the contem-
porary composer to men like
Bartok, Berg and Stravinsky, he
can concentrate on writing music
like that of Shostakovitch with
out its triviality or that of
Vaughan Williams without its
aimlessness. His symphony is a
worthwhile job well done.

When Glen Drake OF the Mer-
rick Club, sends his first gladia-
tor out for combat in the 1855
tournament, he will ofiicially
become the dean Of Golden
Gloves coaches here.
Glen Is not the oldest coach
in point Of service In Golden
Gloves ranks. Nobody can take
that honor away from Paddy
Kane Of the CYo. Paddy helped
Bishop Bernard Shell organize
CYO boxers in Chicago rs years
ago before coming here to be-
come coach Of boxing at Mary
land University in 1943. @os
But Glen has the edge on all
Washington coaches in point of
Golden Gloves service, having
won that distinction when Lou
Gevinson stepped down this
year as coach Of the Olympic
Club.
Drake competed IN the second
Golden Gloves tournament ever
held In the District. That was
back in 1885 when the event was
conducted at Catholic Univer-
sity.
Member Of 1885 Team.
He was q member Of the 1896
Gloves team which went to Bos-
ton and won two individual
titles and the team champion
ship for Washington.
The title winners were Robert
Matthias, later q first lieutenant
whose bullet-ridden body was
found in Normandy after a par
achute jump in World War II.
and Bobby Schwartz Of Alexa1-
dria. who now is q Golden
Gloves judge. Schwartz, Incl
dentally, was a sensation in
that Boston tournament. having
knocked out five Of his oppo-
nents.
Also on that team with Drake
was 17-year-old Wayman Stew
art. Drake is now coaching
Stewards son, Wayman, jr.. who
win make his debut as a con-
tender for the novice fiyweight
