ways.
The ouesada announcement
came at the close Of q busy day
on the air safety front.
Earlier the general had
warned the Monroney Subcom-
mittee not to expect overnight
miracles.
New Agency Urged
A short time later House
members, also investigating
collisions which have cost 81
lives in the last month, accused
the Quesada committee Of
grabbing power over air space
which Congress delegated to
the Civil Aeronautics Board
and the CAA.
But witnesses Of the All
Transport Association, the Ali
Line Pilots Association and the
airline industry were equally
vocal in demands for q new
Federal aviation agency which
would combine the regulatory
powers.
w. A. Patterson, United Air
Lines president, urged imme-
date establishment Of a single
agency. He said q basic prob
lem involved in many acct
dents was the consequence Of
divided authority and response
bility.
This must be resolved clear
ly and without delay" hnesaid
adding that he spoke "as presi-
dent of an airline whose pas
sengers we're lost in the Las
Vegas disaster and who is
deeply concerned about the
safety Of those present and fu-
ture passengers for whose lives
we are responsible"
President c. N. Sayen of the
pilots group told the Senate
subcommittee he was appre-
hensive over what he called
another "cycle" Of air collisions
il immediate action is not
taken. He and his associates
estimated that - on the basis
Of the past record - another
cycle could be expected in rs
days.

Mr.. Sayen said that. while

of flying was more flexible than
flight via instruments. it had
become outmoded by today'S
swift aircraft. An antioch
lision gadget may some day re-
turn the see.an d be-seen
method to the cockpit, he said,
but that is not in the foreSee-
able future.

A young man appeared in
Constitution Hall last night
faced with q dificult assign
ment. As a pianist he had to
make his Washington debut as
soloist in two popular and diff
cult piano concertos. AS a new
born public figure. tossed into
the arms Of fame overnight,
like q latterday Lindbergh, he
had to appeal not only to the
music lover for whom he had
created his wares but also to
those fascinated by the fact
that he is young, modest. a
Texan, and an American hero
home from victory. He had to
make his way. that is, with
everybody - absolutely every
body.
Van Cliburn possessed the
ability to turn the trick. By
the end OF the first movement
of the first concerto he played,
he had all $500 people in Con-
stitution Hall cheering him as
though he were Muddy Ruel
behind home plate.
That he has q winning per-

walked from the wings to the

the music was not noticably
different. In any future cul-
tural exchange between us and
Russia, it would be nice to find
Mr.. Kondrashin coming our
way again.
The Symphony Of the Air,
composed of many of the play
ers of the old NBC Orchestra,
which was disbanded when
Toscanini retired, was not en-
tirely up to the gala event.
Perhaps this was the result of
insufficient rehearsals in the
short time between Cliburn'S
return and this concert tour
(the program is being played
also in New York and Phila-
delphia), but the strings were
not always in tune or together,
and the overall effect was not
one Of a first rate American
