The American Music Gen.

Works Played Here
The music of lie Mon
tame is not new to WASH
ington. The National SYM
phony has played his Songs
Of the Rose of Sharon" the
last two seasons, with Leon
tyne Price as the singer.
The Washington Cathedral
Choir has also sung carols
Of lie Montaine, both here
and on tour in Cleveland.
The work he has written
Tor Washington is a piano
concerto. which will be
played next season by Jorge
Bolet. Howard Mitchell is
enthusiastic about the piece.
not just because it is good
American music. to which he
is naturally partial. but be-
cause it is a concerto.
I'VE are running out of
good solo pieces with or
chestra. he said last week.
"Of the kind suitable for a
big symphony, how many
are there. written since the
18th century? Rachman-
inoff and who else, when you
think of piano. and where
Is the modern repertoire for

tors Of the other participant
ing orcheStras are happy
about the new concerto, for
at least two of them have
already signed up Bolet to
give the work next year after

Bernstein's Plans
Leonard Bernstein, girding
for his first season as leader
Of the New York Philhar-
monic-that orchestra the
members Of which are known
TO despise all conductors not
named Toscanini-has an
nounced that performances
of American music, new and
old, will form q continuous
thread running through all
the programs Of next season.
Programs Of guest conduc-
tors are being planned to
complement the Bernstein
weeks by placing emphasis
on music of composers Of
other nationalities.
Mr.. Bernstein may foresee
himself stated with American
music by the end of the year.
for he has announced a Han
del festival for the last few
weeks Of the season.
Each concert on the sub

"Gioconda" itself, despite
this conflux of energies,

attractive for steady diet, for

Camden has assembled a

ranging from Proch's cele-
brated variations to "Caro

Arkansas State press., 1958-10-03

In a unanimous decision, the United
States Supreme Court ruled that the Ma
tonal Association for the Advancement of
CoIored People need not reveal the names
of its rank and file members to any state
agency. The same decision lifted the $780,
600 fine levied against the NAACP for re-
fusaI to turn its membership lists over to
Alabama officials
The NAACP. the Court held has
made an uncontroverted showing that on
past occasions revelation of the identity of
it's rank-and-fiIe members has exposed these
members to economic reprisal loss of en-
pIoyment, threat Of physical coercion and
other manifestations of public hostility"
The Court said that under these cir
cunstances, the fAACP would be damaged
if compelled to reveal the names of its MEM
bers and would not be able to carry on the
program which it has the right to advo-
cate.
The Court said that if the NAACP
were compelled to expose its membership
list, people would withdraw from member
Arkansas State press., 1958-10-03

ship and others would not join because of
fear of exposure.
The Court then ruled that the NAACP
does not have to reveal its membership list
to any state agency.
Therefore, no state, including Arkan-
sas, may legally require the NAACP to turn
over its membership list. Any state laws re-
curing the kAACP to do SO are unconstitu-
tionaI. This point has been settled once and
for all in the Alabama case and the decision
applies to all states.
Anyone can now Join and be active in
the Association without fear of having his
name and activity revealed to hostile state
officials or to private persons.
The Court recognized the vital reIa-
ton between freedom to associate and pri-
vacy in ones associations.
Now is the time to Join the Association
and add your strength to that of hundreds
of thousands of others who have enlisted in
the Fight for Freedom for all Americans.
