stood alongside - a ong
other once invulnerable-
seeming items-the entire
Pascal series of Beethoven
quartets, the Weingartner-
Brahms symphonies (the
Beethoven had already gone),
some of the Haydn Society

baeus," Saint-Saens' Sam
son and Delilah" and Schu-
bert's masses in G and E fiat.
Even more cherishable items
have persisted in the recent
past.
The July-August casualty
list results partly from an
apparent mass-retreat on the
part Of Camden, whose dele
lions extend from a collection
Of ariaS by Richard Crooks
through most of the one-time
Red Seal orchestral classics
under Koussevitzky. But
higher-priced, and newer,
RCA entries are not exempt.
They include the Heifetz-

A striking victim, although
there are reports that it is to
be succeeded by individual

Can such documents, many

imperishable landmarks, dis

be resurrected in different

or be made accessible on spe-
cial order to those knowing

them out?
The answers, as far as this

D. Perry credits part of this
growth to the opening Of a
new toll road linking the
Berkshires with Boston, from

past.
Now. with hours slashed

Three Church Works
In the second half of the
program a student chorus
from the Berkshire Music
Center was heard under
Hugh Ross in three church
works-the Regina Coeli"
K. 276. the familiar Ave
Verum Corpus" and the Mass
in c. K. 337. The mass, last
of II written in Salzburg,
is striking, though not
lengthy, score in which ju-
bilation is tempered with
more profound emotions. The
student singers showed splen-
did vigor and discipline. An
electronic organ, the only
kind available, was often
scarcely audible, a misfortune
since the organ occupies a
place of special prominence
in this work. DR.. Munich

do but did that competently.
Standout Solo Work
The spectacular solo per-
formances came at the second
indoor concert. Sherman Walt
managed to coax remarkably
cultivated sounds out of a
rather uncultivated device,
the basSoon, in the concerto
for that instrument. James

there was a fine rapport be-

The performances drew pro-

The Aqo Khan

In recent years, most OF the pub
licity about the Aga Khan, who died this
week in Switzerland at 70, centered upon
his great wealth or the fact he was the
father-in-law of Rita Hayworth. These
were, indeed, newsworthy aspects Of his
life. But actually, this Karachi-born
Persian was man of great intellectual
attachments and of far-reaching spir-
itual and political influence. AS leader
of the Ismaili Moslem sect, he was the
architect more than half century ago
of the modern Moslem political con-
sciousness-particularly in the Indian
.subcontinent. It was in this role that
he took an active early part in seeking
"a formula for self-government Of India.
The Aga Khan's relations with Britain
were uniformly harmonious and he was
instrumental in influencing most Of the
3Moslem countries to support the West
ern allies in both world wars. It is part
of the creed of the Ismailis that the
world and life in it are good and to be
enjoyed. He made his contribution to
its goodness and enjoyed it nightly.

In the modern past at least, recognized
the right Of American citizens to such

for refugees from the Iron Curtain coun-
tries. American policy has been rela-
lively generous in granting the privilege
OF asylum here, but care has been taken
to give no countenance in domestic law,

spondence to any claim by foreign ma
tionals to right of asylum in this coun-
try. Generally speaking, the granting of
asylum to a political refugee from a
friendly power is not considered an un-
friendly act. The present case is likely
to turn upon friendly" negotiation
plus determination through French
administrative and legal procedures as
to whether the offenses of the Zlatovskis
fall in the political or the criminal
category.
