Martini Revival
Siena.-This years "Setti-
mana Senese," the week-long
festival put on by the Chigi
Academy, opened with a salute
to Padre Martini, best known
to many Of us as the well-loved
teacher of the 14-year-old
Wolfgang Mozart on the first
Italian journey.
DRY Martini" ventured a
young Sienese with some diff
dence, not trusting his own
joke; and it must be admitted
that aside from the gravely
beautiful slow movement of the
violin concerto and some pi-
quaint unmodulated changes of
keys in the D major symphony,
the music hardly seemed worth
reviving.
The two-act intermezzo in
the Neapolitan style Don
Quichotte" had many points
Of comparison with Pergo-
lesi's "Serva Padrona" and
had been given a bright set

monotonous quality.

The Academ Chigiana has
played a great part in the re-

only the arias in rehearsal,
but this was convincing
enough.
It was incredibly rich and

The present proposal, Wilkins

He also commented on the case,
saying, at will be interesting to
note how some of the Northern

so readily jump at conclusions and
charges of race discrimination and
who so readily charge us with

HUGE COST Seen AS S. AFRICA
MAPS SEGREGATED AREAS

Cape Town, Apr. 2.-South AZ
RIGA has overnight been given a
sudden, staggering glimpse Of what
it will cost to build separate black
and white worlds here.
The government has issued it's
mammoth report of II folio vol
umes on the practicability Of ter
ritorial segregation. Five years in
the making, this explosive docu-
ment is a blueprint for chopping
up South Africa into independent
black and white areas, and has
been long awaited as a program
upon which the governments a.
partheid, or segregation, policy
must rest.
Parliamentary members got a
condensed version of 200 pages
for study on the eve Of the two
week Easter recess; but the indi-
cations are that they will take
longer to get at the roots of this
document, which at the initial read
ing appears to leave some ques-
tons unresolved, such as: Who is
going to pay for this vast scheme?
Optimistic Figures?
The bare minimum government
cost for this country Of $500, 900
whites is an initial $299, 900, 900 in
10 years. This is for essential
services, without counting the mil
lions which private enterprise
would put into industrializing the
barren native farmlands.
Some figures quoted seem too
optimistic; for example $4,000, 900
is allocated to develop non-existent
native mining in 10 years. Yet the
cost of sinking a modern South
African gold mine is around $780,
100000 today.
