Funeral Horses
Go Into Retirement

The traditional seven gray
horses that draw the caissons ir
military funerals are going or
the retired list.
The Defense Department an
nounced yesterday that in the
future military funerals will be
motorized because of the expense
involved in using horses. The
$38 billion military budget fol-
the 1858 fiscal year contains nc
funds to support the horses, il
said.
officials said it cost more
than $50 per funeral to use
horses to draw the gun carriage
from the Fort Myer chapel to q
graveside in Arlington National
Cemetery. A motor hearse, they
said. costs only $2.10.
Sixteen perfectly matched
grays are stabbed at Fort Myel
along with the one black horse
which follows the casket to the
grave.
The black horse. which carries
no rider, symbolizeS the ancient
custom of sacrificing a charger
at the burial of a warrior. In the
days of Genghis Khan, the
Mongols believed the spirit OF
the horse went through "tht
gate Of the sky" to serve its
master in the next life.
The American Indians adopted
the custom after horses were in.
PRODUCED to them by European
settlers. Sitting Bull was buried
astride his favorite charger.

Cut in Gasoline
Price Due Here

A cut Of half a cent or / cent
in the price of gasoline in other
parts of the Nation is bound to
be followed in the next few days
by retailers in the Washington
area. a petroleum industry
spokesman said today.
Horace Walker. secretary of
the Retail Dealers Association,
said there is no question the cost
reductions will be passed on to
the public in this area.
He attributed the price cuts
to a vast oversupply Of gasoline
and to other pressures. The
American Petroleum Institute
reported yesterday that stocks OF
gasoline in storage have in
creased to a total of more than
8 billion gallons.
Petroleum products are not

out to be in on what was billed
as the first in a long series of

season in Washington.
That this first performance
had the solidity. fair and author
ity Of the finest productions was
the apparently unanimous YER

whistling and humming, into the

One must credit the moving
spirits in this affair with plenty
of courage and daring. Mounting
this particular opera is an un-
dertaking fraught with danger.
as it is one Of the most fantas-
tically demanding pieces in the
entire repertory, calling for five
singing principals gifted with
utterly superhuman musician
ship. vocal range and agility. and
plain endurance. Besides. they
have to be able to act.
Had Proper Cast
Mozart was lucky enough to
have just such cast to write
for in 1871 and 1882. and that
kind Of miracle hasn't happened
too frequently since then. The
price of the composers freedom
