The 18th annual American
Music Festival at the Nationa

in five Sunday evening install.
ments, got under way last night
in the East Garden Court al
Richard Bales conducted a small
orchestra in a program of early
and contemporary works for 9
variety of instrumental combi-
nations.
The festival opened on 6
singularly unauthentic note with
q presentation of the first Of
John Frederick Peters six string
quintets offered in a cumber.
some arrangement for string
orchestra which robbed the
fragile piece of much of it,
delicate charm.
Composed in 1889
Peter, generally acknowledged
the most talented of the early
American Moravian composers
wrote his set of quintets in 1889
They are characteristically
pleasant 18th century works Of
no great distinction, but they
have historic as well as musica
interest in that they are prob.
ably the first authentic chamber
music penned in this country
and they are entitled to ar
occasional hearing.
1t would be more fitting tc
the spirit of an American Music
Festival, however. if they were
performed as they were com
posed.
Mr.. Bales followed up with
short works by Henry Sowell
theard here for the first timel
Eric DeLamarter and himself
Unfortunately. all seemed to be
cut from similar cloth. The lack
OF contrast among the three
was damaging to all.
Mr.. Bales Theme and Varia-
TONS dating from 1914, was
perhaps the most solid of the
three, with the DeLamarter
Suite" quite obviously a furtive
fugitive from oblivion. Mr.
CowelPs Ballad" was pale and
sweet-as was most of the other
music on the first half of the
program.

was Hugh O'Meagher, harpsi.
chordist. who was heard both a;
lnstrumentalist and as composer
Mr.. O'Meagher first presented
three pieces by the composer
Benjamin Carr, written for sole
keyboard instrument early in the
10Th century. These proved to be
rather colorless, particularly az
played on the harpsichord. A
piano, with its wider range OF
color and dynamics, might make
them sound more interesting.
Mr. O'Meagher's own concerto
in which he was featured to-
gether with percussionists Louis
Goucher and David Cooper. was
the high spot of the evening SO
far as this reviewer is concerned.

SAFti Most women wonder ABOUT
douching for feminine hygiene.
Mrs. Rosen did. until she heard
how important the proper method
OF douching with a fountain syr-
inge is, using ineffective yet safe
solution--like zoNITE.
EFFEcIIVEl No other type liquid
antiseptic-germicide for the
douche Of all those tested is so
POWERFULLY effective yet so safe TO
body tissues as zoNiTE.
HIALIHFULi zoNITE completely
deodorizes, promptly washes
away germs and odor-causing
waste substances. A nurse once
advised Mrs. Rosen that II any
abnormal condition exists. she
should see her doctor. who would
probably recommend that she
continue to use zoNITE.
DAINTY You, too, can have the
peace OF mind" that zoNITE
gives YOU after monthly periods
and other times. Use zoNITE as
directed. as often as needed. with
out risk Of injury. Costs pennies

of Parliament made these OBJ
Servations: Labor members, par
ticularly their leader, Hugh
Gaitskell, assumed early, in the
Suez crisis that troop movements
and Sir Anthony's talk Of force
basically were part of a bluff
aimed at attaining better ground
from which to negotiate. Then
as the crisis wore on, more and
more London papers were carry
ing government-inspired stories
saying the government intended
to use force if President Nasser
turned down q reasonable offer.
And the troop movements be-
came more than precautionary
or histrionic.
Mr.. Gaitskell and his advisers
began to fear that Prime Min
lister Eden was not bluffing. That
is when labor began to apply the
brakes.
The entire aim of Labor during
the last two days parliamentary
debate was to force Sir Anthony
into q position where he would
have to promise that he would
give UP the idea Of shooting his
way through the Suez Canal.
But despite whistling-in-the-
dark claims by Labor papers to-
day that Mr.. Gaitskell had
obtained a pledge Of no force
from Prime Minister Eden, the
fact is that Sir Anthony left him.

well The Secretary noted this
point, but offered no similar
measures to aid them.

nations, the United Kingdom,
the United States, Norway

take the cape route ''it will be a

which depend upon oil.
Sees Burden to Asia
IF the tankers don't GO
through the canal and help pay
for the expense of maintaining
the canal, then a very heavy
burden Is going to fall upon other
kinds Of shipping that is going TO
go through the canal. That
burden would primarily fall upon
countries Of Asia rather than
upon countries Of Europe"
Presumably the Secretary is
ready for the flood of protests
from Asia that is likely to come.
He obviously hopes that these
nations, which are much closer
to Col. Nasser through their
Afro-Asian ties than the West.
will use their influence with the
Egyptian leader to soften his at
titude.
Seventy-six per cent Of the
traffic through the canal is oil
cargo-almost all in Western
bottoms. That leaves the other "a
per cent, minus whatever part of
that which is owned by nations
which will divert their shipping,
to bear the costs Of maintaining
the canal.

AS the mass walkout drew
nearer. the question of how the

would be carried out doomed
larger.
Egypt has said the 1o3-mile
waterway viii be kept open to
all shipping, but the exodus Of
the canal-wise pilots seemed
bound to cripple traffic. One
Egyptian pilot said two-way traf-
fic may be cut out, letting con-
voys through only one way at a

delays Of shipping at the canal
entrances.

ship aground in the narrow,

Only 40 Egyptians, three

Wednesday for a users associa-

Some Of the pilots told a news
man in Port Said that they had
been informed agents of the old
company would contact them
after they left Egypt to see if
they wanted to work under ian
international setup."
The departing pilots include
Belgians, British, Dutch, French.

leans.
New Pilots Trained
A pilot. Salah AbdeI Att, said
81 prospective pilots were in
training. But a correspondent
in Port Said put the number at
81 just finishing their hurry-up
two-month course and 10 others
just starting.
At the most, then, Egypt
would have 108 pilots after to-
nights mass walkout, or SO less
than at present.
