Politics and Civil Rights

THE PRIMARY QUESTION facing
many leading Democrats today is wheth-
er the national party will split between
now and November. The split, if it comes
about, will be caused by the civil rights is
sue.
Although there is much talk about the
Solid South, as there has been for many
decades, the fact is the South has not been
solid since 1914. That is over ten years ago.
In 1948, the South split, four states and
one elector from another supporting the
States Right Democratic candidate. In
1852, the South split again, showing its
dissatisfaction with the National Demo-
cratic Party. and four states supported
Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican
nominee.
Although Mr.. Eisenhower, and the Re-
publicans, have disappointed many South
erners on the civil rights issue, this does
not mean that the South will fall back
solidly into the Democratic ranks in this
years election, In fact, the civil rights is
sue-largely touched off by the Supreme
Courts anti-segreSation school decision
lis threatening to bring about split in
the party even before the convention in
Chicago, which is set for August.
The 1862 Presidential candidate, fAdlai
Stevenson, has antagonzed some left wing
groups because of his efforts to keep the
party united. This was Stevenson's strate-

A Hereditary Heart?

nR. IRVING PAGE, of Cleveland, Ohio,
- says heredity is more to blame for the
increasing rate of heart disease than is
high-pressure living. DR.. Page is an auth
GRITTY on the subject, being president of the
American Heart Association.
Page believes 100000 Americans will
die of heart disease in 1860, an increase
of 100000 a year over today's rate-which
is about 100000 year. At the present rate,
about one out of every seventy-five elderly
people are dying Of heart disease year.
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1956-03-09

DR.. Page believes it would be advisable
to reduce ones intake of fat-if it is con-
siderable-by about thirty per cent, but
he also believes that heredity plays much
larger role in heart disease than does high
pressure living. Also, DR.. Page believes
more exercise-before one has a heart at
tack-may prevent later heart ailments.
His formula, then, seems to be exercise,
proper diet, education about heart cond-
tons, including your background and fact
ors affecting heredity, and sensible living.

Ipassioned in Brahms proved to
be heavy handed in Mozart and
Debussy. The portamento, that
device beloved of some. violin
lists which involves going from
one note to another by way of

been suitable for romantic music,
but was singularly inappropri-
ate for music whose essence is
elegance, delicacy and subtlety.

like a keyboard instrument, a
violin can only imply the poly
phonic aspect of such music as
this. The effective projection of
it as a fugue is the performers
responsibility. Mr.. Fuchs ac-
complished this very well indeed.

better geared to the differing
demands of Brahms and De-
busy than was the violinist.
His accompaniment was splendid

Chardon Sonata in F sharp minor,
Opus 40, Pierne; Sonata for Flute
and Cello, Charlton; Sonata for Cello

The varied gifts Of Yves
.Chardon were the center of a
concert of extraordinary bril-
lance at the National Gallery of
Art last night.
Mr.. Chardon was heard with
equal success as cellist. COM
poser and arranger. Superbly
assisted by pianist Juliette
Chautemps and f1utist Harold
Bennett, he offered a program
of four works.
Perhaps most impressive was
Mr.. Chardon's own sonata for
flute and cello, a piece hall
marked by clarity of texture.
distinction of musical design.
and sensitive appreciation of the
tlmbreS and capabilities of both
instruments. The freshness of
Mr.. Chardon's invention, par
ticularly in the absorbing scherzo
and passacaglia movements, was
a joy to experience.
The sonata. which received its
Washington premiere. is a crea-
ton Of exceptional distinction
and beauty.
The evening began with Mr..
Chardon playing his own ar
rangement of a fine Telemann
sonata for unaccompanied viola
da gambia which achieved a new
dimension of loneliness in its new
garb. This composers music is
ordinarily more notable for grace
rather than for depth. but the
SLOW movement of this particular
work proved to be unusually
subtle and rewarding.
Another surprise was the
Plefne cello sonata. which was
almost as much a novelty as Mr..
Chardon's new piece. Pierne is
known in this country almost ex-
clusively as the composer of a
trifie called the March Of the
Little Fauns." but he also wrote
some fine music in the French
romantic vein. This sonata. a
product Of his old age. is surely
one Of his happiest inspirations.

SECURITY FOR YOU

Payments
BY RAY HENRY
Questions and answers:

From Mrs. N. N. Of Flushing
IN. ": IF a widow is now drawing
Social Security payments on hei
own work record, will she lose the
payments if she remarries?"
No. It's the payments to widows
who are drawing payments or
their deceased husbands account
that will be affected by remar-
riage. Such a widow loses hel
payments when she remarries
and is not eligible for payments
based on her new husbands rec
ord for three years.
From A, L. r. of Fort Collins
Colo: Il will be IS next August
I plan to retire April /. BY that
time. I should have about five
years coverage under Social Sc
curity. Part of this time, I've
been self-employed and the rest
of the time, I've worked fol-
others. Does this make any diff
ference as to my eligibility to
Social Security payments?"
No. When your payments are
figured, self-employment and
work for others is combined.
From r. b. N. of Pomona,
Calf: MY uncle who was COW
cred by Social Security died last
year. paid his funeral expenses.
May / collect the Social Security
lump sum payment to cover
these expenses"
If your uncle had no surviv-
ing wife who was living with him
or receiving support from him,
you may claim the Social Sc
curity lump sum which can very
between $50 and 1925.
From Mrs. J. F. S. of San
BernardinO, Calf: I'm writing
you regarding Social Security
benefits. l am SO years old. My
}huSband paid Social Security in
Idaho and Washington. I'm not
sure just how many years he
paid on it. Could you tell me il
I'm eligible for Social Security
and how to go about getting it?'
Because you have not given me
enough facts to determine your
eligibility, the only thing can
suggest is that you get in touch
with the nearest Social Security
office. That Office can check
your husbands Social Security
record and tell you officially
whether you're eligible. You
can get the address of the near
est Office from your local post
Office.

From the moment of their
military entrapce on the plat
form of Constitution Hall
Through the finale of their
opera" yesterday afternoon the
Vienna Choir Boys ruled a COM
Ipletely captivated audience.
To oldSters there is always an
element of refreshing surprise

lcal virtuosity in a bunch of
Ihealthy-looking youngsters: al
Though. given the obvious talent
and rigid training Of the fVienna
Boys. one can usually expect
music of a purity unattainable
by adults.
The Vienna Choir brings
wildly to mind one of those
machines that mystify and fas-
climate the mechanical layman.
When operating under strict
control its shiny tubes and pis-
tons execute the intricate move
lments of an "Exhitate Dec" with
astonishing facility and emit the
infinitely nuanced sounds of a

tone. best described as piping, I"
goes on and off with the flick Of
ia switch. This muSico-mechan-
.ical marvel has the perfection
and brilliance Of stainless steel
and about the same amount of
human 0,rmth. Occasional, as
with any complex mechanism,
the pace is too frantic, and the
whole contraption goes haywire.
Under formal direction the
Vienna Boys were most efficient
when racing through bouncy
pieces of low musical content
with titles like Der Kuckuck auf
dem Zaune Sass" Singing solos
with piano and less supervision.
several boys used their vocal
technique to demonstrate re-
markable musical maturity. The
smallest. in the somewhat heavy
role of Dido lamenting her APP
preaching death, would have
needed nothing beyond his
chubby, baggy, wide-eyed APP
pearance to bring down the
house.
The final potpourri OF Johann
Strauss was more fun for the
singers and audience than some
Of their previous rather grownup
operas" for it told a tale Of
rambunctious school children.
Not having to face conductor.
the boys sang with more natural
exuberance and acted with a
know-how that should put elder

If a man waits until 40 to fall
in love and then does so with a

likely he has no desire to have
a family. His fathers belief that
he ought to have a family" is
not likely to affect him in the
slightest. If the romance has
any strength at all. it cannot
possibly be broken up, even if
