Richie Coliseum, University Of Mary
land.
The top brass OF the National
Symphony Orchestra thought up
a speciality program-that is to
say. a "spectacular"-wh was
a rather bilious affair as a prop
Iosition in black and white, but
which turned out to be a lot OF
fun in actuality.
It was to create a concert
entitled Jazz versus Classics,
engage the Eddie Condor ALI
Stars as guest artists, inter-
lmingle the three BIS (Borodin,
Beethoven and Bizet) with Dixie
land, and see what would hap
pen. It happened last night at
the Richie Coliseum, and will
again tonight at Constitution
Hall. You could do much worse
than to go.
The National Sym p h o n y
showed up in good time. ar
ranged themselves comfortably
lin the big gymnasium, tuned
their instruments and were ready
flor the downbeat. At the last
minute Eddie Condor and his
boys arrived, relaxed, friendly
and confident. in the university's
mental health classroom that
serves as a greenroom and which
lis filled with Tinkertoys, alpha
Ibet blocks and Ding Dong School
sets.
The Symphony management
was concerned about the pro-
lgram-that is what pieces would
he played in what order--a de-
tail of little concern to the ALI
Stars. who felt they could play
whatever was expected of them
when the time came.
5000 Pack Gym
That they could. The gym was
packed with three thousand
Maryland University students
and others from the neighbor-
hood. Lloyd Geisler, Howard
IMitchell's assistant conductor of
the National Symphony, started
the evenings entertainment with
the Overture to THE Marriage
Iof Figaro" and Mr.. Condor and
his men followed up with
|''Swingin' the Blues on the
Danube"
Both offerings were equally
lapplauded. Bobby Hackett, cor
Inetist. joined forces with the Ma
itional Symphony-spoken of by
Condor as the house band
i'm I'm in the Mood for Love, "
and Geisler's men returned with
the Beethoven fifth, and b.
robins "Polovetsian Dances"
So it went, with longhair alter
mating with Dixieland, and
IDixieland becoming more impas-
stoned as the seven players
warmed to their game.
Condon's men were very good.
They always seemed to be play
ing the same piece, music which
they called by different names
but which was invariably re-
Eceived enthusiastically by the
crowd. The National Symphony,

Northerners Forget Their Rebellion

NORTHERNERS have been railing at the
South for its determination not to ar-
cept the Supreme Court school indignation
decision as the last word and the law Of
the land They speak of Southerncrs as re
bells again and some extremists seem to
think all whites in Dixie should be killed
off and the country south of the Mason
Dixon Line turned oyer once more to
Negroes and carpetbaggerS.
Too many Of our Northern citizens haze
forgotten their own rebellion Of Just few
years ago. 1t wasn't against a court ruling
the Illegally of which is obvious to anyone
who can read the Constitution effectively.
1t was against fully ratified amendment
to that document-th Prohibition A
mendment.
The rebellion against that amendment
was nowhere so fragrant and intensified
as the North. There were concentrated the
big bootleg whisky rings, the murderous
mcketeers, the speak-easies the large IL
licit diStilleries, and the importers who
ran the whisky blockade There was
concentrated most of the crime which
flowed from the rebellion against the
Noble Experiment" In the metropolitan
cities of the North occurred most of the
corruption of youth and the open defiance
Of the Constitution which marked the era.
Yes, there was rebellion in the South
also. but it never resulted in 2nythng like
the evils which grew like a cancer in the
cities of the North. There were hidden
dstilcrics which produced appleiack and
corn llkkcr, there were rum-runncrS on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts. and there were
home brew and hathtub Gin. But there were
no such gangs. crime and political corrup-
ton as the Northern rebellion fomcntcds
Yet our Northern friends now tell us
the South is in rebellion against the Con
stituton and The Supreme Court because
it will not accept the judicial arrogation
of legislative powers to force adoption of
mixed schools from the primary grades
up.

DERHAPS without meaning to 90 so
Adlai Stevenson himself has told the
South that it holds the balance Of power
III the Forthcoming elections.
Mr. Stevenson has predicted a number
of times in the past that the Democrats
would win the presidency this year In
Georgia last week, Mr. Stevenson said that
if the South should bolt the Democratic
Party. the Democrats would lose the pres-
dental election.
In other words the two statements in
dictate when put together that the
Democrats will win with the South or will
lose without the South.
That certainly is different from the tune
that the Democrats were singing in 1913,
when Harry Truman said he could win
with or without the Southland proved
that he was right.
But thanks to Southern independents
such as Storm Thurmond and James f.
Byrnes, things have changed since then.
The South has demonstrated at the last
two presidential elections that it is no
longer in the bag. Now Democratic leaders
are conceding that they need the South

Many Early Cancers
Can Be Cured

Cancer now strikes one Amerl-
can in every four. two families out
of three. The price Americans are
paying in cancer mortality is un-
necessarily high. Even though the
riddle Of cancer remains unsolved.
tens OF thousands Of lives can be
saved annually. can, be saved now
from this cruel disease, It's mat
ter of earlier detection For every
cancer patient now being cured,
another dies ncedlessly - because
treatment was begun too late. In
other words, through earlier de-
lection. cancer cure rates in the
United States could be doubled.
Methods of treatment Of cancer
have improved to the point where
it is now possible to cure many
forms Of cancer If the treatment
is begun early enough. Early de-
lection is essential to a high rate OF
cancer cure because the only cura-
tive methods now known rad
iation and surgery - can seldom
prevail against cancer that has
spread beyond the area of origin.

Longer, Hotter Days

THE READER has probably noticed,
if he is at all observant, that the days
are now lengthening considerably. As
of Easter Day. for example, the ninety
second day Of the year. the length of the
day was already more than twelve hours,
and almost thirteen hours in some parts
Of the country.
The days will continue to lengthen until
late in June, at the time of the Summer
Solstice when the sun will be rising at
approximately O'Clock in the morning
in New England and northern locations.
In more southern areas of the country the
sun will be rising at something after a 80,
