TURNTABLE TALK
BY JAMES G. DEANE


The music of Franz Joseph
Haydn. the Austrian wheel
wright's son who has become
popularity known as the father
Of the symphony" is a good
deal less well known than this
famous quoted overstatement
would imply.
1t is somewhat startling, for
instance. to find barely half
of Haydn's symphonies yet
listed in Schwann's. COT the
numbered 104, the recorded
total is two shy Of the half
way mark.) AS for the quar-
tets, trios, divertimenti, soma
tas. concertoS. masses. operas
and other compositions which
exist in almost overwhelming
profusion. respectable stabs
have been made. but there is
still a long way to go.
Haydn needs a bicentennial.
Unfortunately, one won't come
along until the year 2009.
The cause need not quite be
written OF. There are rumors
that the interrupted Haydn
Society project Of recording all
the quartets may be resumed
one day soon. (These are
about at the halfway mark,
too0 And sporadic signs Of
interest in other directions
have been popping up.
One Of the more suspicious is
a new set Of the last six SYM
phonies mos. 99-l04) which
has been put together by
Vanguard, utilizing one Of the
orchestras connected with the
Vienna State Opera (this one
is identified with the affiliated
Volksoper) under the leader
ship Of the well-regarded
Danish conductor, Mogens
Woeldike.
1t is just about seven years
since another Viennese aggre-
cation identified as the
Vienna Symphony under
Hermann Scherchen generated
one Of the initial shock-waves
in the then uncharted terrain
Of high fidelity with a pioneer
ing version of the Military"
symphony. In the ears of many
veteran hi-h addicts the drums
of the Scherchen- Westminster
Military" are doubtless still
pounding and the triangle still
shimmering assuming, that is,
that the disc is not worn out,
a rather unlikely assumption.
History was made. 1t was
followed by a series of sequels
which, before the sequence
ended, included all the Lon
don" group mos. SO onward)
plus some more venturesome
efforts. including the SYM
phonies nicknamed "Trauer."
La PaSsione" and THE
Schoolmaster." which later for
some unexplained reason were
withdrawn.
Scherchen performed a serv-
ice. The entire series, indeed,
had a sort Of shock effect,
generated partly by West
minister's recording technique
Of planting microphones in the
midst Of a specially arrayed
and monitored orchestra, with
special. almost unprecedented
stress on detail. Eventually,
like Vanguard'S, the orchestra
became that of the State OPP
eraD Scherchen also estab-
lished himself as a personality,
one of whose marks was often
a singular deliberateness.
The Woeldike recordings are
quite different. Woeldike, in
the first place. inclines to
briSker land more conven-
tionaD tempos. Vanguard, in
the second place, has chosen to
seek a more customary con-
cert-hall type of sound.
The performances have
plenty Of sparkle. and the
sound generally comes through
well. Frequently. Woeldike's
livelier pace seems to hold a
movement together better than
Scherchen's, without impeding
the exposure of detail. One in

would be out Of date before 1t was COM
pleted. If the six lanes are the minimum
number for an adequate bridge, they are
the minimum which should be built into
a tunnel. It is true that six-lane tun-
mel would increase greatly the cost of the
project-but that is the penalty which
the Interior Department, chief advocate
of tunnel, should be required to pay If
its wishes are to prevail over the expert
advice of highway engineers and other
traffic authorities.
We hope the House, if it decides to
go along with the tunnel idea, will see
to it that a six-lane tunnel is specified.
Nothing less would meet the urgent traf-
f1c needs of those who daily must cross
the Potomac for business or pleasure.
And the principal tunnel advocate, the
Interior Departments National Park
Service, should be required to pay the
full cost of tunnel and any special
approaches involved.

Justice for Juveniles

BY promptly passing the bill to add
second judge to the Juvenile Court
bench, the House has given proper rec
ignition to the urgent need for relief
of justice-thwarting conditions at the
overcrowded court. We hope the Senate

fessional groups united so solidly behind

Judge for the Juvenile Court A Senate
subcommittee has been hearing persua-
sive testimony similar to that received
by House committee several weeks ago.
The consensus Of all the witnesses is
that the administration OF justice at the
court will continue on deplorable
assembly-line basis unless Judge Ketcham
is given some help. Obviously, juvenile
delinquency cannot be dealt with ade-
quately by cursory judgments handed
down by lone judge at 10-minute inter-
walls during 4 long and firing day.

A Good Bill Stymied


Senate amendment OF irrele-
want nature is threatening to kill an
automobile License reform bill that ought
to be passed without further delay. The
bill would reduce to realistic proportions
the tag fees charged by the District for
small two-wheel trailers and for ANTIQUE
cars. The fees now are far out of line
with the prevailing practices in other
Jurisdictions.
Both houses of Congress readily
passed the fee-reduction bill last session
and again this session. There was unani-
nous agreement that the tag cost for a
two-wheel luggage trailer should be re-
duced from $12 to So, with proportionate
reductions for two-wheel trailers of
larger size. And it was agreed that an
tique tomobiles-those built prior to
1880 and used for museum displays, pa
radeS or other ceremonial purposes
should not have to pay the full license
fees, ranging from $22 to $32. The bill
would reduce the cost to SIS, provided
the car is not used for regular trans
portation purposes.
However, the Senate last year tackled
on an amendment which would permit
a number of additional Senate employees
to display congressional courtesy tags
on their carsNfor parking privileges
The House objected to this amendment
and refused to yield in conference. The
bill and its amendment died. This year
the dispute has begun all over again.
In short, feud between the Senate and
House over parking privileges for few
Senate employees ESTIMATED at about FIVE
or six) has stalled the license reduction
bill in conference. If the amendment
is as meritorious as its Senate sponsors
indicate. it should be introduced as a
separate bill and allowed to take its own
chances. 1t should not be allowed to
imperil the passage of the trailer-and-
antiques bill. however

Egyption Election

EgyptS President NasSer has now
brought the shadow, but not the sub
stance, of parliamentary rule to his coun-
try. In tightly controlled elections an
estimated 5 million voting Egyptians have
filled most of the $50 seats in new Ma
tional Assembly It will be the first par
liamentary body in the country since the
revolution which ousted King Farouk in
1952-and the first election in Egyptian
history in which women we're allowed to
vote or to run for Office. Provision for
the Assembly was made in new consti-
tuition adopted by plebiscite in 1856 and
the legislative branch will have nominal
power, at least, to pass upon the national
budget and to select the next presidential
candidate.
The shortcoming, as far as truly
democratic procedure is concerned, lies in
the arrangements made for controlling
the election. Only the National Union
Party, headed by Colonel NaSser him
self, appeared as formal political or
ganization. Even within its ranks, APP
proximately half Of the $500 original
candidates were struck off the lists by a
government screening committee which
described some as enemies of the
state" and disqualified others on various
grounds. All Is members of the Nasser
cabinet and more than so other reliable
supporters were declared elected" with
out contest, to give the administration
hard core of influence.
Even so, there may be certain evolu-
tionary possibilities in the mere estab-
liShment of the legislative assembly. A
body as large as $50 members is not COM
pletely and permanently susceptible to
facelessness and, again, there will be at
least the shadow of democratic process.
1t is also worth noting that the first of
the candidates to be declared ineligible
were those most plainly identified as pro-
Communist in their political leanings,
and this, with the fundamental Moslem
antipathy to communism, may prove
further barrier to encouraging new Soviet
intrigues in the area

Past experience says, plainly
enough, that a sudden drop in
temperature will set you and
all the others on the bus to
sneezing, coughing and hawk
ing.
So you admit the possibility.
but wonder If there wasn't
something else.
What about that guy who
suddenly sneezed?
He was a big, rough, sturdy
fellow, as rugged as they come.
and he suddenly let go with a
monster sneeze.
You covered up. as best you
could, but had visions (there

germs making a dive for your
throat.
You even got off at the fourth
floor. instead Of the first, but 1t
did no good.
And how about those candy
bars?
Past experience has given
you a certain respect for
candy bars. They are nice to
eat. but somehow, every time
you indulge, you do come down
with a cold, sooner or later
and this time 1t was sooner.
SO there is the cast, tenn

Why Create q BottIeneck?

If Congress is going to substitute a
tunnel for bridge at Constitution ave-
nue., the tunnel should be an adequate
substitute. There is authoritative evi-
dence, however, that four-lane crossing
of the Potomac River, whether under the
river or above it, would be just another
traffic bottleneck 1t is hard to under
stand, therefore, why the Senate has
voted to spend millions Of Federal money
to create such bottleneck, namely, a
four-lane tunnel.
Originally the Senate had joined
with the House in authorizing a six-lane
bridge at Constitution avenue. From a
traff1c-relief standpoint. any crossing

you got the disease.
Right here, of course, is
where you part company with

Well, forget him, for the
nonce. 1t is cheaper, and you

These forces are the CRAWL

the material together toward
the center and the pressure
of gas tending to push the

laws of physics We know that
the pressure of the gas is
determined by the tempera-

the higher the central tenn

star Is the result"
Some Burn Faster
Now. DR.. Sandage points out.
many Of the stars are created
in groups out of one great cos
mic dust cloud and it can be
assumed that all the members
of a group are of about the
same age-that is, born within
a few million years of each
other. Inspection shows that
some stars are far brighter
than others of the same group.
This means that they are burn
ing hydrogen faster-the rate
of fuel consumption being
roughly proportional to the
mass.
The faster a star burns up its
hydrogen and becomes con-
taminated with the ashes of
hydrogen, helium, the shorter
its life expectancy. The age of
the stars in any cluster can be
estimated with some accuracy
by this coal furnace" method
of calculation. In the same way
it is possible to estimate the
probable life span.
From this is deduced the
fact that many of them die
in infancy--at even less than
a mere million years of age.
Some of them become invisible
galactic ghosts, the so-called
white dwarfs. These all are
quite small, some no larger
than the larger planets of the
solar system, and consist of ex-
tremely heavy matter. They
can be detected by their gravi-
rational attraction for nearby
visible stars.
The conclusions, DR.. Sand
age says, follow from some Of
the most basic postulates Of
physics and are completely up
held by such observations as
can be made with available
astronomical instruments.
