Well. is seems as though
this Sophia Loren has a
father who is q world famous
Italian conductor. who has
been engaged by the Water
gate Pops Orchestra to con-
duct Friday night. Cary
Grant is a widower with
three small children. He
works for the government
here in Washington. Never
theless, he tries to look on
the bright side Of things.
and has decided to take the
kids to the concert Friday

Sophia's father, in this

tor Of the Watergate Pops

Emerson Is cast in the role
as Of now, that Is. but If the
director at the last minute
thinks he wants a tall lanky
timebeater Wayne Dirksen
may be invited to take over,
or If q short fiery maestro is
needed. Paul Galloway.
At any rate. Paramount
has hired the orchestra for
q sequence in a picture it is
making with Grant and
Loren. The shooting win be
done at the Watergate Fri
day starting at 7:45. Rehear-
sal Of the music will be i'm
mediately before the con-
cert. followed by an inter-
mission at which the or
chestra will be served soft
drink and sandwiches. Then
after the concert Paramount
will be host to the orchestra
at q buffet supper. The mu-
sic to be rehearsed and play
ed is the first two movements
of Mendelssohns Italian
Symphony.
So, we will have fifty or
sixty Of Washington's finest
musicians rehearsing and
playing like mad-but all
Paramount wants is the pic
ture. It is going to leave its
tape recorders at home. and

Is The public invited? In

all be paid a pretty penny.

POST HORN

An art without restrictions
would be as worthless a. q
card game without rules. It Is
only by making use Of his
restrictions that an artist can
create at all-"What Is ar
tistic needs restricted room"
as Goethe said.
Nevertheless Is Is rare that
one finds an artist dedicated
to Q melodic musical instru-
ment which Is capable Of only
four notes. c. g. c, and E.
Yet Frank Scimonelli. the
English post horn virtuoSo Of
the Navy Band has for years
cherished his unusual tnstru-
ment and played it in public
whenever he could find the
opportunity. Tomorrow will
be q red letter day for Mr..

University. has written q con-
cert piece for post horn and
band which will have its
premiere In the Navy Band
concert at the Capitol Plaza.
The post horn is q brass
instrument 81 inches long
about half the length Of q
B nat cornet or trumpet.
Since it is pitched an octave
higher than these instru-
ments, only the lowest
harmonics are available to
the performer. Haydn and
Mozart both wrote for the
instrument, and it is some
times said that the opening
phrase Of the minuet Of the
Beethoven eighth symphony
was inspired by the sound Of
q post horn.
Mr.. Scimonelli's post horn
is straight, but the German
counterpart Of the instru-

ment is round like q French
Horn. While it Is true that
there is probably no melodic
instrument on which so few
notes can be played. 1t may
come as a surprise to many
people that the trumpet. so
prominent in the symphonies

hardly less restricted. Bee

wrote any notes for the in
strument other than G. c.

We today never can have
the emotional response to the
first full statement Of the
tune of the Ninth Symphony

There the diatonic tune Is
doubled in horns and trum-

POPULAR ART
I saw the movie Around
the World in Eighty Days"
this week and enjoyed it i'm
mensely. Millions Of other
people are seeing it. too. and
while there are unquestion-
ably individuals who find it
not to their taste. I suppose
there is no class Of audience
to which it does not appeal.
Youth and adult. callow and
sophisticated, literate and il
literate. all find something in
the style of the fllm that
pleaseS them.
How very rare q bird it is,
the genuinely universally
popular work of art. Even
great artists like Shakespeare
and Mozart. of whom we
glibly say that they wrote to
please the public. wrote not
for the public. but rather for
a public.
What is there that appeals
to the many yet does not
ALLEVIATE the few?
I see that there are Is
million copies Of the Bible
sold in this country every
year. The figure is not evil
dence of a popular book. as q
work Of art, since most peo-
pie read the Bible as q devo-
ton. The apochryphal books

grounds, and are today as
little read as "Beowolf" or
THE Faerie Queen"
Is there q single piece of
truly popular music. even in
the limited field Of the west1
ern world?
Even those works, I believe,
which we call universal, like
the Beethoven Fifth. LA
Boheme." The Blue Danube
Waltzes," the Tchaikovsky B

joyed only by q large but
categorical audience. not by

There was speculation today
that Gen. Randolph Mccall Pate
might be reprimanded for re-
portedly saying that the Marines
in the Mediterranean have live
atomic artillery shells.
The White House refused yes
terday to confirm or deny the
statement attributed to the Ma
rine Corps Commandment. How
ever, c. Herschel Schooley, De-
Tense Department Public infor-
nation chief, told reporters that
officials do not as a matter OF
national policy and a matter OF
law discuss the whereabouts and
storage facilities for nuclear
weapons"
He referred to the Atomic
Energy Act Of 1854 and directives
issued by Defense Secretary Will
son against specifically giving
the location of atomic explosives
The Pate statement came vir-
tually on the eve of President
Eisenhower's presentation to
Congress of his new Middle East
policy and the White House was
reported to be furious about its
publication.

6 on Sunken Yacht
In Buhumus Saved

MIAMI. Fla, Jan. 4 (P).-An
unidentified yacht sank in waters
of the Bahama Islands today
and a nearby fishing boat picked
up six survivors.
The Coast Guard said the
yacht. which radioed a distress
call at ESQ am. est. had not
been identified. A Miami marine
operator who picked up the call
said the name sounded like
"Bayona" or "Beona."
The fishing boat was taking
the survivors to a town on Rus
sell Island in the Bahamas.
A Coast Guard search plane
found the yacht at 7:30 am. of
Royal Island in the Bahamas,
38 miles northeast Of Nassau and
about 200 miles east of Miami in
the Atlantic. The survivors were
clinging to the mast. which pro-
truded above the water.
A raft was dropped and the
plane then found the fishing
boat and dropped a message CIV
ing the location of the sunken
craft.

Leaders Sure
FiIibuster Curb
Will Be Beaten
Senate Test Due
At 6 P.M.;; Liberals
MAY Get 40 Votes
BY J. A. O'LEARY

Senate leaders were confident
today of beating the move to
curb fllibusters when the show
down vote comes at 6 pm.
There were indications at
noon the bipartisan bloc of lib
erals fighting for new rules may
poll between IS and 40 votes.
This would leave a substantial
majority for continuing existing
rules. but would mark decided
advance from the vote of four
years ago, when the liberals
were defeated 70 to 81.
Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico, opened the de-
bate at II o'clock in support of
his motion that the Senate
should adopt new rules at the
start of each Congress Just as
the House does every two years.
The test will come on a coun-
ter move by Democratic Leader
johnson of Texas to table the
Anderson motion. If this carries,
the fight will be over.
Long Tieup Possible
One prominent Democrat pre-
dicted that if the unexpected
should happen. the Senate would
be tied up for the next six
months. revamping all of its 40
rules. This prediction was based
on the assumption that the re-
writing of the rules under the
Anderson motion would be sub
ject to unlimited debate allowed
by existing rules.
In his opening statement, Sem
ator Anderson challenged this
argument. He pointed out that
the House re-enacted its rules
yesterday in a matter of Sec
onds. In the House, however,
debate is always limited because
members cannot speak unless
recognized by the chair.
There was keen interest today
in whether Vice President Nixon,
who is potential candidate for
President in 1860, will express
any opinion in the rules fight,
which is closely tied in with the
battle over civil rights.
Nixon to Be Quizzed
The Senate is operating under
an agreement which will prevent
Mr.. Nixon from ruling on a point
of order. But the door was left
open for him to express an
opinion if he so desires by an
swering a parliamentary in
quiry The liberals have said
they will PROFOUND such an in
Quiry.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat
of Tennessee, is the only South
erner joining in the move to
amend the rules. He denied that
the filibuster threatens only civil
rights legislation. He recalled
that important foreign policy
issues, such as the League of
Nations fight and Woodrow Will
sons ship purchase bill, were
affected by filibusters.

Oregon. also Joined in the fight
