City Council
Building Group
Makes keport
TO Citizens
Recommend That Present
Quarters Be Maintain
ed And Used And That
Permission Be Granted
To Sell Caulk Bldgs.

Building Committee OF Milford
City Council comprising Vice May
or, Percy r. Haughey chairman,
Mayor William R. Murphy and
councilmen, w. Vernon Benson and
j. Clayton Kirby reports on ;ts
Recommendation Regarding a City
Hall.
The signed report, in full, fol-
lows:
In recommending to Council that
the city continue to use the pres
ent City Hall and request permis-
sion from the taxpayers to sell the
Caulk Building and so rec>Ssar the
money previously spent for it, the
committee was influenced by two
major factors. First, we see no
need at this time for the expendi-
ture of a large sum of money for
a different City Hall because we
deem the present quarters to be
adequate and we'll located. They
may not be as elaborate or sump-
tuous as some may wish but we
believe that they serve the city
council, city office, and the citi-
zens as well or possible better
than the Caulk Building would do
We realize that there are those
who disagree with this view, but
we believe that this is the opinion
of the majority of the citizens oi
Milford.
We have studied the report oi
the Citizens Committee in the hope
that they would give us some helr
in this matter. We are disappoint-
ed to see that they appear to have
ignored entirely the question
whether or not the move to the
Caulk Building is advisable. The
report is concerned almost en-
tirely with the condition of tht

place and even the police had
to be called in to protect"
the orchestra staff from the
crowds demanding seats.
For example, one morning
a delegation of fire fighters
entered the office, took over
the telephone switchboard
and announced: 1--WE will pre-
vent your manager from u.s.
ing the telephone unless he
gives us tickets for the Tos-
canini concerts" During the
last rehearsal, our chief elec-
trician approached with a
sardonic grin: "Sir, there
won't be any lights at the
premiere if 1 don't receive
some tickets for my family"
But the concert was a fab
ulouS success and Huber
mans vision thus was rea-
lized. The orchestra, now
named the Israel Philhar-
monic Orchestra, which has
just celebrated its twentieth
birthday, is highly respected
both in Europe and America
as one of the leading musical
organizations of our time.
NOW ARTURO Toscanini.
the. greatest contemporary
maestro, is gone, but his
name is forever linked with
the cultural upbuilding of the
State of Israel and its very
soil. When, a year ago, he
was approached to- give his
consent for a Toscanini For
est to be planted by the Jew
ish National Fund in Israel,
his son Walter, in accepting
this proposed project, wrote:
My, father has asked me to
send his message of greeting
to the Israel Orchestra and
to Palestine'S music lovers,
because he always remem-
bers with deep emotion the
hours he shared with them
and the enchanting beauty of
Palestine's landscape"
The Arizona post., 1957-04-12

But a greater and more
serious problem had to be
overcome. The political situ-
alton in the Holy Land at
that time was already very
dangerous. The conflict be-
tween Arabs and Jews re-
suited in everyday clashes.
Under such circumstances it
was too hazardous to have
Toscanini come to Palestine,
and after protracted delibera-
tions with government au-
thorities, we asked him to
delay his arrival and the
opening concert for about
two months, hoping that the
tension would ease up. With
profound kindness and appre-
citation of our cause, ToSca-
mini agreed to the postpone
ment even though his cal
endar of engagements was
planned we'll in advance.
Unfortunately, the unrest
did not cease and despite its
persistence, the Maestro ar
rived at the later date and
Immediately began rehears-
ais. His appearance as well
as his miraculously sugges-
tive power proved to be the
remedy.
UNPRETENTIOUS work
ers appeared prepared to
fOrego their last ,morSel of
bread rather than miss the
opening concert. What was
to be done? There were no
more available seats, but an
unfinished hall possesses
elastic capacities, so that un-
der moral pressure the ap-
plicantS left with some spark
of hope. The problem of
how to cram more seats into
the already overcrowded hall
was long pondered during the
busy days and nights of end
less preparations. The de-
mand for tickets continued to
grow. Amazing scenes took

in Tel Aviv, the then N-year-
old city with a population of
about 100000 western-minded
inhabitants. .1..
A cable was received from
New York informing us that
Arturo Toscanini had agreed
to be the first conductor of
this new born orchestra.
Three months before the an
nounced opening concert, the
orchestra members met for
the first rehearsal.
William Steinberg, then the
ex-chief conductor of the
Frankfort Opera House, now
the Musical Director of the
Pittsburgh Symphony Or
chestra, arrived to prepare
the orchestra for it's first sea-
son. He rehearsed daily the
programs chosen by Tosca-
mini.
SINCE THERE was no ap-
propriate hall in Palestine at
that time, one of the largest
exhibition halls on the out
skirts of Tel Aviv had to be
altered for this purpose. The
construction of improved
stage and acoustics lasted un-
til the very last hours prior
to Toscanini's arrival; every
minute was precious and no
time could be wasted to en-
able Steinberg to conduct the

Grand Jury
 To Probe Deaths At Morningside

PORTLAND, R-A grand jury investigation of deaths of patients at Morningside Hospital was called for next Thursday by Rep. Chudoff D-Pa as a House sub committee closed hearing on the hospital.
 Chudoff, chairman of the sub- committee, did not elaborate, but earlier a doctor said there were questionable matters in the deaths of II patients in the 1948-1955 period and that gross negligence was involved in at least one.
 The doctor, Ivor Campbell, the chief of psychiatric services for the Veterans Administration re- gional office, said outside the hearing room that he meant the hospital was negligent in not pro- viding enough qualified assistants not that any doctor at the hos pital was negligent.
 Under federal contract the hos pital cares for mental patients from Alaska.
 An agent of the federal Gener- al Accounting Office said Wayne, M. Coe, president and treasurer of the hospital, realized $1,137,41 from hospital income in the 1936- 1855 period, including more than $183,O00 in personal expenses charged to the hospital.
 He said among items Coe had charged up was $4,281 for a trip Coe and his wife took to South Africa and Europe.
 Reps Hoffman and Knox (both R-Mich) again protested Chudoff was calling only the witnesses he wanted to hear They said wit nesses were waiting to testify in defense of the hospital.

Russia Tells JUN. West To Blame For Mid-East Crisis

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- The Soviet Union warned the JUN. today it cannot watch inn passively while Western nations are turning the Middle East Unto a permanent hotbed of military conflicts
 Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko declared the tense situ- ation in that area bears closely on Russia's security.
 He struck back vigorously at charges made by Secretary of State Dulles Russia was risk ing a Middle East conflict by sending arms to Arab countries. The real cause of the trouble, he said, is Western attempts to dom mate the area.
 He accused the West of invent ing charges against the Soviet Union to hide it's own intentions to dominate the Middle East.
 He placed the blame on the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion (NATO) and asserted that rude political and economic pres sure is being exerted" against Syria.

Eisenhower Kills Bill Passed Over Veto Of Guam Governor

NEWPORT, Rhode Island, R- President Eisenhower has killed bill passed by the Legislature of Guam over the veto of the island governor, Richard B. Lowe.
 Eisenhower, backing the gov ernor, vetoed bill which would have provided for reconfirmation by the Guam Legislature of cer- tain officials appointed by the governor. Such a reconfrmation would have been required any time there was a change in Guam governors.
 Eisenhower, who has final veto power, said the bill would result in divided responsibility.
