The novelty Of a concerto
for tympani has generated a
good deal Of interest In the
work for tympani and or
chestra by Robert Paris
which will have its premiere
performances with the Ma
tional Symphony this week.
(From now on let's say
drums" "Tympani" is an
embarrassing word. The
grammatical concepts Of
"tympani are musical instru-
ments" and "a tympanum is
half Q musical instrument"
are both awkward.)
There are no other drum
concertos written by an
American, and not more than
two or three by foreigners.
1t is not so exaggerated q
tour de force as some would
think offhand. for the mod
ern instrument, unlike the
classic one Of Beethoven and
Mozart. can be retuned al
most instantaneously with q
pedal mechanism. The ex-
treme range of the five drums
used by Paris is about an oc-
tave and q half, with all in
termediate chromatic notes
available.
Fred Begun, the soloist in
the concerto. is a well-known
figure in the National Sym
ph0ny. His characteristic
poses Of ear-to-the- drumhead
alternating with an aspect of
wild expectation in anticipa-
ton Of his next entrance
have become unofhcial trade
marks. He was q claSSmate
Of Paris at Julliard. and
meeting him on a train sew
eral years ago asked him for
. concerto. The idea appealed
to Paris and he wrote the
piece learning the technical
possibilities OF. the drums
from Begun as the work pro-
creased. Paris says that he
has tried to explore the mel
odic possibilities of the solo
instrument rather than to
treat is as simply a percus-
sion machine.

Ski Pants Are Issue In Contract
 Negotiations with Stewardesses

 "The only reason they'll give us is that ski pants are not in keep ing with the decorum of the com pany uniform," Rosemary said.
 'T asked the airline man what we should do to keep from freez- ing" Noni said. "He suggested we wear adequate underwear. I said, What do you suppose we should do to keep warm between here and there?"
 She used her hands to describe in the air an oval encompassing the aforementioned shapely knee and wel1-turned ankle.
 As reporter tried in vain to reach airline officials for com ment, Rosemarie said she was 26. Marilyn is 32. Noni said only that she is "quite ways from 32 yet"
 And the conversation continued:
 Noni: "You know, the general conception of stewardesses is a bunch of young things tripping down the aisle. Actually, the pas sengers prefer somebody that's in- teresting to talk to-
 Rosemarie: Somebody mature and capable. Why, some of the best stewardesses in the industry are over 32."
 Marilyn: "They say you get frumpy and frowzy. Hmph! You haven't lost the romance of life when you get to be 32."
 Chorus: 'They haven't given us one reasonable reson why we shouldn't wear ski pants.''

Illness Plaques White House State Dinner

WASHINGTON, R = Illness plagued the state dinner opening the White House social season Thursday night.
 Two of the guests of honor were absent because of Hines and two guests became ill at the dinner table.
 The President and Mrs. Eisen- hover launched the social season with a dinner for 30 in honor of the Supreme Court.
 But Chief Justice Earl Warren, stricken with a virus infection, and Associate Justice Felix Frank furter, still hospitalized from a mild heart disturbance, were un- able to attend.
 Then as the elaborate dinner got under way at the huge E. shaped table decked with pink carnations, two of the women guests became ill.
 It was reported that Mrs. Eisen- mower personally dispatched one of three doctor guests, Brig. Gen. Thomas w. Mattingly, to aid Mrs. Howard Simpson of Baltimore, wife of the president of the Bal ti1nore and Ohio Railroad.
 Mattingly, a heart specialist, said Mrs. Simpson suffered from an attack of very rapid heart ac- ton, but it wasn't serious.
 First to leave the table, even before >she had a chance to try the food, was Mrs. Harold Tinney, one of group of Newport, R. l., friends the Eisenhowers had in- vited specially.
 The nature of her illness was not disclosed.

Mixed Reaction Creets Alaska Govt. Proposal

JUNEAU, R-Mixed reception greeted the proposal for eleven departments within the executive branch of the new state govern ment.
 Comments on the proposal, in a report issued Wednesday, ranged from heavy opposition to warm approval.
 Mostly the comments appeared to depend on how the officials felt their respective departments had fared in the report by the Public Administration Service.
 Numerous officials declined to comment. T have nothing to say that can be printed" said one department head.
 Formal objection came from the Fish and Game Commission, in session here. It indicated that continued operation of fish and game activities under a separate agency was spelled out in the statehood act.
 Henry Harmon, Welfare Com missioner, says his board already is on record against combining the agency with any other.
 Dr. Robert Wilkins, Anchor age, member of the Board of Health, said, q have nothing fla vorable to say about the report and nothing favorable to say about the people who made it.'' However, Highway Department officials approved the report and looked to expanded responsibih- ties if the recommendations are adopted. The. Territorial Police also generally are in favor of recommendations concerning the proposed Department of Public Safety.
 Governor-elect Wm. Egan, re- cuperating from minor surgery here, declined an invitation to serve as the grand marshal of the roth annual Tournament of Roses at Pasadena.
 In statement issued from St. Ann's Hospital, Egan said the in vitation is outstanding recogni- ton for Alaska. However, after consultation with doctors and review of the work load ahead, he said he must decline the honor.

Statehood Mixes Pier
 Head Survey In Alaska

WASHINGTON, R = Interior Department officials said last night plans are being dropped for making pier head surveys of Alas kan coastal waters.
 They said that the surveys won't be necessary, since Alaska is be- coming State.
 A bill passed by Congress would have permitted the Army Engin- eers to survey lands lying in tide flats where piers and buildings stand. As a Territory, Alaska could not claim title to the lands until surveyed.
 But Statehood changed all this.
 Alaska will be entitled to the beds of all navigable waters for a distance of at least three miles, so why make the surveys?" com mented Erl Harrington, cadas- tral survey officer in the Bureau of Land Management.
 Harrington said the Army En- gineers had intended to ask for $200,00e to make surveys out 10 the pier head line, but that the change in signals meant the money would not be needed.
 Ed Woozley, director of the Bureau of Land Management, said Statehood meant Alaska could legislate and dispose of the tidal lands as the State wished. As a Territory, Alaska has no author ity to dispose of such lands.

Reds Make Yet
 Another Bid For Summit Meeting
By. ANGELO NATALIE

MOSCOW, R - The Soviet Union put in another bid last night for a summit meeting on causes of international tension It included the Berlin situation but ruled out discussion of German reunifiction.
 The statement from the official new agency Tass also warned that any Western use of force to main tain access to Berlin would be met by Soviet force and would touch off a nuclear war.
 Some Western officials have proposed that Berlin be discussed only in connection with the entire German unification problem. Tass renewed tn e Kremlin stand against negotiating on reunifica- ton.
 The Soviet Union reported, however, it's readiness to talk about World War II peace treaty for Germany. Tass added that the Soviet Union stands for a meeting of the heads of state, on the con- dition that East. and West are equally represented, with the aim of discussing ripened questions of consequence toward easing in- terntional tension"
 The West has insisted on search ing talks at a lower level to in- sure likelihood of agreement be- fore the heads of governments gathered. The Soviet Union wanted to get the government chiefs to do the actual trading.
 In Washington, State Depart ment officials said the Tass state ment looked like propaganda broadside. They said again that the United States will not be de tered by threats from defending it's rights in Berlin.
 A spokesman for the West Ger man Foreign Office said in Bonn that the statements from Tass and Khrushchev Ego up to the brink of a threat of war"
 The spokesman pointed out that threatening Soviet statements just before NATO conference are usual.
 However, the new threatening statements are in an unusually sharp tenor," he said.
 The NATO foreign, defense and finance ministers hold their an- nual meeting in Paris next week.

 Employing a time-tested phrase, they said:
 Baby, it's cold down there."
 Noni Myers of Anchorage, Mar ilyn Batey of Seattle and Rose marie Fliseck of Kent, Wash, were surrounded by an admiring cluster of newsmen yesterday as they explained their problem.
 Miss Batey, chairman of Coun- cil TT of the Airline Stewards and Stewardesses Association, said her union was in contract negotiations with Pacific Northern Airlines which flies Alaskan routes.
 A lot of things are involved in the talks, she said, but two things the company wants have the girls in a particular frost.
 First, said Miss Myers, the com pany wants to be able to retire it's stewardesses at the age of 32.
 But worst of all, piped up Miss Fliseck, the airline won't let it's stewardesses wear ski pants on Alaska flights.
 "There we are, exposed" Noni said. "They want us to have just this thin veil of nylon between us and the elements at 40 to SO below zero"
 And Marilyn chimed in:
 Every other airline that flies out of Anchorage requires ski pants, for comfort and as safety
