And the General Assembly, in
its first day last week, enacted
legislation that would hike this

the funds the State gives to its

This would be done by giving
each county and Baltimore $40

BY JAMES B. ROWLAND

Proposed revamping of Laurel's
town supervisor post will make
the position unlike that Of any
other in Prince Georges County
municipal governments.
The fun time supervisor will
be a compromise between a city
manager and supervisors as
known in other county jurisdic-
lions.
Creation of a full time clerk
treasurer position also was auth
orized by the Council in amend
ments to the town charter. OPP
ponents to the amendments have
until tomorrow to present petit
tons signed by at least 20 per
cent of Laurel voters.
Their success would put the
matter up to a referendum. To
date there has been no opposi-
ton.
Manager too Radical

ing a city manager but decided 1t
would be too radical a change. "

Laurel mayor.

Both new Offices are necessary
to handle the towns anticipated
growth from a present 1000 resi-

plexity Of government, according
to Mayor Hardingham.
Laurel expects to have more
than 500 new homes in the near
future.

will be the realm Of the clerk

There are four tunes that

Other fine numbers are "All

The Man I Used to Be" is

BY JAMES G. DEANE

The Oistrakh public appear
ances have resolved any req
sonable doubt that Russia's
premier violinist also ranks
high among the worlds, and
Victor has not wasted any time
capitalizing on this resolution.
The performance of Proko-
feff's p minor sonata which
drew reviewers superlatives
has been engraved by Mr..
Oistrakh on q Victor LIP. It
Is, incidentally. the third long
play traversal Of this piece by
this violinist to reach the
American public, but easily the
best-recorded. It was also
the most imposing Of the items
on his program here, and it
makes an excellent souvenir
for those who collect them.
Prokofien. one can recall. was
out OF favor with home ofilcial-
dom q while back, and this
sonata provides as good justi-
f1cation as anything else for
the subsequent recantation Of
that misguided viewpoint.
II Is dedicated. by the way,
to Mr.. Oistrakh.
Two pieces Of less recent
vintage, the Leclair D major
sonata and the Locatelli- Ysaye
sonata In F minor. also are on
Victor's disc.
Vladimir Yampolsky, the
keyboard partner. Is accorded
due prominence by the Victor
microphone. which does not
always happen In violin re-
cordings.

MILsTEN, SOLO

Nathan Milstein's associa-

q striking record Of solo Bach.
The G minor sonata Is on one
side and the D minor partita--
the one with the famous cha
conne-is on the other.
Milstein brings a kind of
enthusiasm to his fiddling
which in the concert hall is
manifested In q good deal Of
head tossing, among other
things. This distraction is
absent from a record. These
performances rivet the atten-
