NEWS OF MUSIC
Isaac Stern Super|otive,
Program Disappointing

During intermission, Gerson
Nordlinger. a member of the
music committee. told me that
a larger series was planned for
next year by the congregation
itself. and that he was of the
opinion that the hall would be
available for outside concerts.
Looking over the audience, which
was only about three-quarters
the capacity of the hall, Mr..
Nordlinger estimated that 80
per cent were from the congre-
cation of the synagogue.
Since Isaac Stern is a highly
popular artist, the relatively
small audience is evidence that
Washingtonians do not yet think
of this synagogue as a place for
concerts.

One day, when he was trying
out for the Texas Christian team,
the coach held a blackboard

skeptically.
Baugh nodded.

Which eye?" inquired Baugh.
GRIEF: Learning Of the death
Of a friend. oscar Wilde and a
companion went to pay their
respects to the widow. They
found her in a frivolous mood,
apparently untouched by her loss.
"She doesn't appear to be

All OF us can take a lesson
from the most efficient and the
sturdiest organ God has created:
the heart. And the lesson is this:
Rest While You Work.
The heart does not work for
so weeks a year and then con-
tent itself with a two-week's va
cation. That doesn't make sense
to Unfortunately for us! The
heart rests after every beat. 1t
contracts in systole and relaxes
in diastole. The rest period tied
up with every heart beat. Is
longer than the actual working
time. Without these periodic rest
intervals the heart couldn't pos
sibly get to beat its average 2.5
billion beats in your 70-year
lifetime.
What does all this teach us
about a sensible way of life? The
answer is evident. Don't depend
upon far-off vacationtime for re-
charging your batteries. Learn
to take your rest as you work.
How is this possible? It's easy.
All it takes is a little sensible
planning. The most important
tip I can give you is this: Get
up at least half-hour earlier
every morning. Set your alarm,
shut it off in the morning and
be out of bed within the minute.
This extra half-hour is the
open sesame to an unhurried,
relaxful day. Most of us are
always late and rushing to
catch up" This time loss usu-
ally ebgins in the morning. We
get up too late. We leave our
selves time only for aquick shave,
quick shower, quick makeup.
quick breakfast and a quick run
for the bus. car or train.
Don't Fill Calendar
Rush! rush! rush! In trying
to catch up all day we are the
ones who are catching it." I
assure you that this race against
the minute hand of the clock is
always a losing one. I promise
that this unnecessary tension is
"ulcer-provoking," apprehension
worsening" and "coronary-in-
viting."
However, if you get the jump
on time" you will be out in front
of it all day. Resolve not to be
at the mercy of the hands Of the
clock. Don't let them thumb
their nose at you.
How else can you rest while
you work? Don't get into the
habit of completely filling your
calendar. Don't plan to see too
many persons. There should be
an easy elasticity in your ap-
pointment arrangements
If you do not allow for UNI
avoidable emergencies-out of
town visitors, sudden change of
plans-you will work under kill
ing tension all day. That adds
up day after day; I often Won
der at the inherent strength of
the human frame. I marvel at
the ability of the constantly
harassed person to stand up and
take his physical and emotional
beating on succeeding days.
Another tip: Remember your
desk is for working-not for eat
ing. Don't try to make up for
lost time during your lunch

Marian Anderson, a familiar
figure in the American concert
world for more than 20 years.
yesterday once again demon
strated her art in a program Of
great songs by Mozart and Schu-
bert, filled out with an aria from
the opera in which she made her
belated Metropolitan opera
debut, an American group, and
four familiar spirituals. She
sang at Constitution Hall.
To those who can remember
the unbelievable beauty Of Miss
Anderson's voice early in her
great career. her recent recitals
have been poignant experiences.
To a large extent. her magnifi-
cent chalumeau register, always
difficult to control, is now vir-
tually out Of control, so far as
pitch is concerned. The final
notes of Schubert's Tod und das
Madchen" "a song which was
once one Of her most sensational
tours de force were so fiat as
to be painful.
Her once golden voice, one
of the most sensuously express
sive in this reviewers memory.

instead Of what was once the
serenity of a remarkable artist
sure Of her mastery. one senses
an inner lack Of ease and a
troubled spirit.
There were. of course, occa-
sional flashes Of Miss Anderson's
genius manifested yesterday, but
they were few and far between.

AS the second musical attrac-

Massachusetts avenue and Ma
comb street NV, the Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation pre-
scented Isaac Stern last night in
a recital which. though it was
disappointing as to program, was
further evidence that Mr.. Stern
has few peers and no superiors
as a fiddler.
The program was not suited to
the soloists talents. The Bruch
concerto may have attractive
qualities. but they require an
orchestra to bring them out. and
to hear the piece played by an
Isaac Stern and a piano, like
prize day at a conservatory, was
somewhat shocking. Then, in
stead of a Bach sonata, Mr..
Stern took the trouble to play
only two movements of one, as
though he hadn't time to learn
the rest.
The beauty of the violin
playing. on the other hand, was
something one hears from a
Stern or an Oistrach, and from
nobody else that I know of.
Limpid, clean and accurate, and
with a breath-taking pianissimo,

three small pieces of Chopin was
creditable. but it was here that
he showed some signs of youth.
The Beethoven is a deceptively
amiable piece. for it abounds
in tonal subtleties that partially
eluded the performer, and its
slow movement missed the grave,
elegiac quality it needs. Some
lack of tonal luster and nuance
limited the success of his Chopin.

father, she went through a legal
adoption so she would avoid be-
ing in the category of a STEP
mother. My real mother lost her
life when l was only eight. That
was more than Is years ago.
! She leaves no problems to me,
anticipating my every need and
imagining some of them. I can't
even worry about dating a girl.
She arranges to have them cross
my path. and she's always shop
ping around among her friends
to enrich my social life. She's
always pulling wires to do all
sorts of things for me.
It's so bad that I want to get
out OF the country. but even
that would not completely put
a stop to her solicitude. She
has friends everywhere, and she
is capable of mobilizing virtual

her, and hate to hurt him. But

ize is that my wife has given
up so much for me. She married
me because mutual friends

tragedy in which l lost all but
my son.
In a way. she forced herself on

She reorganized my life, foisted
a social life on me and dragged

took over my son because I

Moreover. she probably needs

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
We will not pretend that it is
going to be easy to lessen the
tension in this situation. These
people need to be explained to
each other. although they APP
pear to understand a great deal
of their problem. The wife was
strongly attracted to the hus-
band because of his great need
for someone to drag him out of
despair. She obviously has an
abnormal need to manage peo-
pie.

Steve would probably respond

In a program that would have
challenged a player twice his
age, 17-year-old pianist Thomas

that was phenomenal for tech
nical accomplishment.
Young Mcintosh has the look

One could dissect this young
pianist's way with thirds, sixths,
octaves. gliSsandi. and every
other conceivable difficulty, add
ing adjectives and infinitum. It
was more impressive to realize
last night. as the evening went
on. that not only was there no
threat to his facility. but there
was none to his powers of en-
durance. AS it often seems with

at no time a sense of struggle
or of the slightest fatigue.

battles many virtuosi, was an

ment on q candidate shortly
thereafter. as the convention
at San Francisco doesn't meet
till August.
Lately the name of George
Humphrey. Secretary of the
Treasury, has been receiving
q lot of attention among the
politicians. Heretofore it has
been argued that maybe his
former connection with big
business interests would mill
tate against him politically.
Certainly it wouldn't be a
negative factor with the dele
gates. He is popular in the
party. II the campaign is to be
waged on economic issues
the prosperity of the country
and the need for fiscal sound
ness in administration - the
Secretary of the Treasury fits
the Republican concept.
Relatively little is known of
Mr.. Humphreys views on for
eign policy. He has been rep
resented as more Of an isola-
zionist than an International
list. But the truth about his
attitude probably Is somewhere
between these two schools of
thought. For, up to now. in
discussing economic aid to
foreign countries, he has in
sisted that such help be on
a selective baSiS--that is, it
should be given in countries
where it would do America
most good in the cold war"
But Mr.. Humphrey is not one
to generalize too much. Being
a good lawyer, he takes each
case on its merits.
If Mr.. Humphrey has the
Presidents backing - and he
would have it il nominated
this would tend to remove
doubts as to the policy that
would be followed in interna-
tional affairs. Any candidate
on the Republican ticket will
have to pledge himself to
carry out the Eisenhower poll
cies. domestic and foreign.
While many here in the
political arena think it is much
too early to make predictions,
still the idea of a Humphrey
Nixon ticket is not as remote
as 1t might seem at first glance.
All this is on the assumption
that, II Ike decides to run,
the ticket will again be Eisen-
hover and Nixon.
