the other. The stereo sound,
to be reproduced properly,
requires its own special pick
up, as we'll as twin ampli-
fiers and speakers.
Realism Claimed
The claim of stereo is to
provide sound of greater
realism. 1t is copied loosely
from the very efficient hear
ing system Of man, whose
two ears give sounds a third
dimensional effect akin to
that supplied in vision by
two eyes. (To test this effect,
cover UP one ear or one eye
and note the markedly mar
rowed perception that re-
sults.)
In the recording process,
two microphones parallel the
function Of two ears. (Ac-
tually, three microphones are
now often being used and the
three master tapes later
blended into two)
Stereo-playing equipment,

ture, and the whole area of
playback equipment, as well
as the relationship between
the disc medium and poten-
TALLY competitive prerecorded
stereo tape. These questions
may not be answered def
nitively for some time.
Intriguing Complement
For the moment stereo
discs apparently are regarded
by most companies as an
intriguing complement to
regular LIPS. Goddard Lieber-
son, Columbia's president,
has announced, for example,
that they will not in any way
affect the Columbia mon
aural" catalogue. Columbia
releases appearing in stereo
will also continue to be issued
in regular form, the company
has said. Whether this policy
ultimately will be changed is
a matter for the future.
Doubtless it will be settled
largely by the public.
The thousands of record
ings that will never be avail
able in stereo can, of course.
be played through a stereo
speaker system with some
enhancement. And it is I'M
thinkable that they should
all be discarded or become
impure aSable for any
reason.
This column will approach
the stereo equipment problem
on another Sunday.

Although the matter has
not yet been definitely set
tied, it seems probable that
Washington will have the
unusual opportunity to see a
production of Monteverdi's
"Orfeo" this season. Written
in 1907. "Orfeo" is often
spoken Of as the first opera
in the history Of music, and
is universally admired by
those who know it as one Of
the finest.
To inaugurate its new mu-
sic auditorium. which is
equipped to produce operas
one can now say "Annap-
oils. Md. has an opera house"
st. Johns College in An
napolis decided last winter
to mount a full-Scale produc-
ton Of the great Monteverdi
work. Paul Galloway was
asked TO conduct and Fred
erick Cohen of New York to
direct. The opera will have
two performances in early
February, one for the student
body of the college, and the
other for invited guests. The
Opera Society of Washington
is at present negotiating for
q Washington production in
Lisner Auditorium on Febru-
airy 3. If its plans are sue
cessful, tickets for the per-
Torrance will be reserved for
season subscribers to the reg
ular season of the society.
Mr.. Galloway is giving the
work with a large orchestra
of 18th century instruments,
a collection he is having no
easy time in assembling. The
problem is not only to find
old organs, harpischords,
links, crumhorns. clarini. and
trombones, but to discover
musicians available to play
them. The main problem of
the production is to decide
upon just what Monteverdi
wrote and how he wanted it
to sound. AS I have said. all
the musical cognoscenti are
sure that "Orfeo" is one of
the worlds stupendous music
dramas. but they don't find
themselves able to agree on
any Of the details.

A great variety is promised,
however. The most impor-
tant item is the pickup, which
is lighter and uses a smaller
stylus tip than ordinary

Editors Want Better World News Picture

FRENCH LICK, Ind, R - Two newspaper editors accused their profession today of falling down on the job of giving their readers significant news from abroad.
 E. T. Stone, managing editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, told the Associated Press Manag- ing Editors Assn, World news is becoming local news. Unless we wake up to the fact we're iv- ing in dream world of the past"
 Norman Isaacs, managing editor of the Louisville Times, said, q would suggest that all of us look at our newspapers when we get home and reflect as to whether we are giving our readers an intel ligent and imaginative picture of today's world"
 Speaking on panel discussion of the foreign news provided by A-P, Isaacs said, 'The A-P's world news coverage performance strikes me as better than most American newspapers deserve"
 He contended only small mi nority of papers are doing out standing jobs of informing readers about world news or even making full use of A-P's foreign news.
 Stone contended both the news papers and wire services turn out ''dull and sterile" foreign news because we aren't reporting about people in the lands beyond our shores"
 The so-called "hard news" from foreign capitals, Stone said, is news that is hard to digest, hard to understand
 ''We need to put some human flesh on it," said Stone, who did some reporting himself last year on a tour of byroads and villages in Europe.
 Isaacs complained that too much of the foreign news is devoted to the adventures of celebrities like Brigette Bardot and Frank Sina- tra. He classes such news as "tripe."

SOviets Promise Highest World
 Living Standard
By HAROLD K. MILKS

MOSCOW, LR - Int Soviet gov- ernment today promised its people the highest living standards in the world by 1870.
 The promise was made in a re- port on Premier KhruShchev's s seven-year economic plan which was approved Wednesday by the Communist Party Central Com mittee.
 The plan for the years 1959-1965 calls for an 80 per cent increase in Russian industrial production. This will enable the Communist bloc to produce more than half the worlds industrial goods in 1865, compared with about one third now, the report claimed.
 This twill provide a real foun- dation for overtaking and out stripping per capita production in the United States" by 1870, accor- ding to the report.
 By 1870 or possibly earlier, the report adds, '"The U.S.S.R. will take first place in the world both for absolute volume of produc- tion and flor per capita produc- ton, which will insure the highest living standards in the world"
 Such economic success would prove the absolute superiority of Communism over capitalism, the report declared.

 Their parents, Harry and Ruth Ginn, are deacon and deaconess at the Community Church in sub urban Altadena, where the family lives.
 Everything he did was bad," Bruce went on. Instead of sit ting straight he'd slouch. When he sat in a chair he'd cross his legs"
 He quit talking to his brother 21 months ago because he tore up some book covers. That was the end"
 Are you sorry you killed your brother?" someone asked.
 "Not at all. I'd do the same thing again." 4

Bulganin Branded As Enemy of State
By HAROLD K. MILKS

MOSCOW, LR - Nikolai Bull ganin today was publicly branded an enemy of the Communist Party after serving in it's high command almost since the 1917 revolution.
 The former Soviet Premier, all ready reduced to minor provin- cial job, was expected to be stripped soon of membership in the party's Central Committee III his last claim to importance
 The denunclation of Bulganin was contained almost casually in a report on the Soviet seven-year economic plan of Premier Nikita Klhrushchev, once Bulganin's com rade in government.
 Moscow Radio said the report mentioned "the exposure and routing of the antiparty group of Malenkov, Kaganovich, Molotov, Bulganin and Shepilov who joined them, who slid down the road to faction-splitting activity"
 This was the first time that the name of the ailing, 63-year-old Bulganin had been included as a member of ''the antiparty group" The other four were busted from party leadership in late June, 1857, on charges of collusion and intrigue.

Pacific Bases Will Begin
 Missile Firing

WASHINGTON, R - Test fir ings at the new Pacific Missile Weapon range may start within the next two months.
 But secrecy, far tighter than any attempted by the military at the Cape Canaveral, Fla, launch ing site, apparently will cloak op- erations at the West Coast range.
 The two sites from which mis- siles will be fired are Point Ar guello and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. They are desig- mated as maximum security areas"
 A memorandum issued by Depu- ty Secretary of Defense Donald Quarles last summer instructed the Air Force, Navy and Army ''to take the necessary steps within your department and, in coopera- ton with one another, to estab- fish the necessary military secur- ity measures
 This suggests that public spec tator and press coverage possibili- ties at the Pacific range will be something short of the setup at the Florida launching site. At Cape Canaveral, preparations for the launchings, as well as the launchings themselves, often can be seen from nearby beaches.
