The lutte and guitar today
stand in somewhat the same
relation as the harpsichord and
piano: each of the earlier in
struments has a very large and
interesting literature which has
been taken over by the two
later ones. and each of the
earlier is less practicable as an
everyday instrument in the
home because of difficulty Of
tuning and maintenance. The
guitar. needless to say, is a
much less common instrument
than the piano, and the recitals
yesterday afternoon of Charles
Byrd, Washington's best-known
guitarist, and of Andres Segovia,
the most famous in the world,
next Saturday, are of excep-
tional interest.

Vided into three parts-original

and arrangements of keyboard
music. The most stunning piece
of the afternoon was the lutte
fantasia of Luis de Milan, a
16th-century composer of great
originality, unknown today only
because he wrote for the now
obsolete lutte. OF the number of
Bach pieces. originally written
for lutte, but now known only
as keyboard works, Mr.. Byrd
played the C minor prelude and
the gavotte from the set famil-
iarly known as Twelve Little
Pieces"
All in all. it was a recital as
interesting as it was unusual.

WOMAN DOCTOR
DELIVERS OWN
BABY IN AUTO

NEW YORK, July 16 (R.
"A young woman doctor
calmly delivered her own
baby on the front seat of
her car yesterday while her
jittery husband was driving
her to- a hospital.
Asked if she had been con-
cerned about delivering the
baby unassiSted in such
cramped quarters. DR.. Helen
Stein, Is, said:
Gosh, no. Women today
make too much of giving
birth. The natural way is the
best. This was by far my
easiest delivery. And my
other two boys, Erin. 2, and
Marvin, /, we're born in the
hospital"
Mrs. stein, an intern at
Long Island College HoSpi-
tai in Brooklyn, had gone
on a jolting ambulance ride
earlier on an emergency ma
ternity case.
She helped deliver the
woman's baby and then went
home. A short while later
she told her husband. Mar
tin. she thought her own
time had come.
Mrs. Stein and her new
5-pound son were report
ed in good condition at Long

$4l, 785, 900 has been collected
for the Government. He called
this an "all-time record" for the
Department Of Justice. -
Speaking in the Great Hal
of the department, at the open
ing meeting Of the three-day
annual conference of United
States Attorneys here Mr.
Brownell said he considered this
the most important news to come
from his department since he
took Office.
staggering Total"
when we first began our all
important drive on the backlog,
he said, there was a staggering
total Of 74,972-almost 75,000-
cases and matters, civil and
criminal, pending in the United
States. We call case anything
that is pending in court and a
matter anything that is not.
This total has been reduced since
that time, as Of June 30, 1856. by
a total of 1882 cases and mat
ters, leaving the existing total
at 1,420, the same being a re-
duction of 31.15 per cent"
Mr.. Brownell added that a
major portion of the depart
ment's effort has gone toward
reducing the number of cases
actually pending in court.
Criminal Cases Reduced
He declared that the number
Of civil cases actually pending
has decreased $3.50 or 27.29 per
cent. This leaves the United
States attorneys Offices with
1908 civil cases pending, he

said. "the smallest number Of
civil cases pending since June,
l.l946."
Criminal cases pending were
reduced by 5000 or 29.16 per
cent during the same period, he
said. This is a smaller number
of cases pending that Eat any
time in the last 20 years." he
added.
Mr.. Brownell cited the "hard
work and devotion to duty" of
the United States attorneys as
the "single most important fac
tor in the backlog reduction.
He also pointed to the greater
authority to compromise and
settle cases which has been given
to the United States attorneys a
major factor in the backlog re-
Iduction.
Increased personnel, the CO.
operation of other Federal agen-
cies in eliminating the referral
of "a great many small, old and
obviously uncollectible claims"
and the work of Justice Depart
ment and other Government
task forces" with the United
States attorneys throughout the
country also were cited by Mr..
Brownell as factors in the reduc-
ton.
An executive committee will be
set up soon as as a permanent
organization within the Justice
Department to direct the pro-
gram for an "all-out, continuous
attack on delays in litigation"
adopted by the recent National
Conference on Congestion in the
Courts. Mr.. Brownell said.

Negro Coed Says
School Could Have
Halted Rioting

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. "a Ne
gro coed, returning to federal
court in a bid to gain readmit-
lance to the University Of Ala
bama, charged school officials
could have halted campus rioting.
The action was one of two filed
yesterday in the long legal battle
of Autherine Lucy to attend class
es at the university. Hearings are
scheduled for Feb. 90.
Miss Lucy petitioned to compel
university authorities to re-admit
her to classes, and in a companion
action she seeks dormitory ac-
commodations and the right to
eat in the schools dining halls.
The 26-year-old Birmingham
secretary is the first Negro en-
rolled at the 125-year-old state
university. She was prevented
Monday from attending classes
after rioting crowds had stoned
and egged her and school officials.
The trustees declared that she
was excluded as a measure of
safety. But Miss Lucy charged in
the petition that she was exclud
ed solely because she is Negro,
in defiance of a court order last
July. 1t was on this order that
Miss Lucy was admitted to the

Alaska Volcanoes
Tell Scientists of
Metals Source

BERKELEY, Calf, Up - Alas
ka's famed Valley of Ten Thou
sand Smokes has yielded infor-
nation which will help scientists
to learn how metals such as cop
per, tin, nickel, lead and zinc
developed in the form of ores,
says research geologist.
These metallic ores were found
in volcanic cones of the fumaroles
or little craters of the valley, said
DR.. c.. H. Curtis, of the Univer-
sity of California. DIR. Curtis and
Jack Sheehan, a graduate student,
recently explored the valley.
The fumaroles, which still emit
steam, are by-product of a great
volcanic eruption which in 1912
blew seven cubic miles of rock
and ash into the air. Curtis and
Sheehan measured the depth of
some of the fumaroles and found
that none were deeper than about
40 feet. But the layer of volcanic
debris in the valley, called weld
ed tuff" is 500 to 600 feet, DR..
Curtis said.
Visitors to the valley many
years ago believed the fumaroles
extended clear through the vol
canic floor and into the deeper
areas of the earth. Because of
this they were reluctant to con-
clude that the metals around the
cones were related to the volcanic
valley floor.
The new findings about the
shallowness of the fumaroleS
means, DIR. Curtis said, that
scientists can now link ore mater
ials to lavas of known compost
ton and can look for the pro-
cesses by which the minerals
were liberated from the CLASSY
phase in which they were origin
inally formed.

Jet Age Is Step Nearer With
Boeing and Douglas Ahead in Race
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW. YORK, R-7-The jet age
with its problems of noise, crowd
ed airlanes, outdated airports, and
the financing of a IA billion dol
lars worth of jet airliners-is a
step nearer today.
While the British bemoan the
loss of their once proud lead in
jet transports, American plane
makers now have firm orders for
1873 of the new style speedy air.
liners and outstanding options for
35 more.
In this country the race has
been between Boeing and Doug
las. With Howard Hughes order
this week for eight jets for Trans
World Airlines, Boeing now has
orders for 83. Hughes says TWA
is talking about % more, and
this would bring Boeing to los.
Douglas counts its orders at
los, and its options of 13 would
make a total of 118. When all the
operations become firm orders,
the American manufacturers will
have 223 jet transports in the
works.
Deliveries of the speedy craft
Los Angeles to New York in four
hours and Is minutes-are sched-
uled in volume between 1858 and
1861. And it is in that period
that the airlineS will have to find
the la billion dollars thai the
planes and spare parts are eX-
pected to cost.
In addition to orders from most
big American carriers now, the
aircraft makers have orders from
Air France, Sabena, and Bel2ina
World Anyways.
The airlines hope to get their
money back through operating
savings. Jet builders contend
their craft will produce much
more revenue for the airlines be-
cause of bigger carrying capacity
and more trips in the same period
because of higher speed.
On the ground is the problem
of old airports which the jet age
could make obsolete, and the need
for longer runWays which the
intercontinental jet airliners de-
mand.

tourists, said "too bad the wea-

quickly showed they had prepar-
ed carefully for the visit.
They knew what to look for
and where to find it.
They gathered first before

body of the dead Christ.
Marvellous, simply marvellous,
they murmured. They spent near
ly an hour in the Basilica.

DR.. and Mrs. Howard Rothfuss
of Perth Amboy, NJ, who were
here last spring and bagged three
large polar bear, have just COM
pleted a two-month trip to Africa
which took them from Johannes
burg in the Union of South Africa
to Cairo, Egypt and which netted
them As more trophies for their
home.
Among the animals hunted and
killed were three elephants, a
buffalo, two sable antelopes, a
hippopotamus and a lion. The ele-
plant was rs years old and had
heart that weighed SIS pounds.
In the spring they plan a trip
to Mexico to hunt jaguar and then
a trip to India to hunt tiger.
Of all their many trophies from
all over the world they prize their
three white polar bear skins most
highly because they were the
most difficult to get.
