Increasing urban renewal

consciousness among District

Speaking Of the "meteoric'
growth OF the Adams-Morgan
Better Neighborhood Confer
ence. Mrs. Florence N. Cornell,
chairman. cited the recent CO.
operation Of civic groups with
the Federal and District gov
ernments IN rehabilitation Of
blighted areas.
"A major reason for our sue
cess is that we work with people
a. individuals. not as mere
parts Of q mass problem" she
said.
Mrs. Cornell later chided the
press for "a play on words
when describing the work Of
the group as that Of 'slum
clearance" L.
Since ours is not a Stun
area. we are primarily con-
cerned with conservation and
rehabilitation. not slum clear
anee and redevelopment "a
problem far beyond our means
to solve" she said.
Later in the meeting. John
r. Inner. industrial consultan,

Mr.. Davies. contending there

gratify the hearts Of those who
sell concrete and steel. said his
distiIlation plan would provide

The River Bend dam. Mr..

would not remove the pollution.
In addition, he said the dam
would inundate SIS million
worth Of private property and
provide the city with only q

lacking enemy, he said. could
knock out Washington's water
supply with one well-placed
bomb.
As an alternative, Mr.. Davies

Jose Kahan is q pianist with
. high degree Of musieianship
and the technical equipment
capable Of expressing himself
in masterful fashion.
For his program at the Pan
American Union last night. the
young Mexican lined up q dis
tinguished array Of keyboard
works and expedited them with
q skin which. even IN this
season Of unconmonly good
pianists, was most unusual.
Mr.. Kahan controls . wide

ing fortissimo. His rhythmic
authority was equally impress
sive. Both the free Chromatic
Fantasy and the inexorably
regular Fugue Of Bach shared
| a sense Of vital forward mo-
don which was never lost
IN addition 70 Bach. Haydn
and Mateo Albeniz made q con-
vivial 18th century group.
Mr.. Kahan played this music
in q rather romantic style. with
somewhat more bravura than
suits al tastes.
The pianist appeared TO be
more at home with Schumann's
Carnival" and Il was here
that his stunning dynamic and
temporal control served him
best. Elements Of whimsy. reck-
lessness and poetic beauty
poured forth. one upon an
other. with what seemed TO be
an uncontrolled carelessness,
but which was actually the re-
suit Of the utmost care and
absolute control.
The sole Latin American Of
fering was q diverting set Of
three dances by the pianist's
countryman. Jose Rolon. APP
parently they are based on
traditional Mexican tunes. the
third Of which was the model
for the famous Z nat clarinet
solo in Copland's "El Salon
