Al Orchestra Gets
Too Ambitious Again

poser rob the classic work Of all

The slow movement Of the
Mailer fifth symphony-this

Steiner-is a sort Of Siegfried

At this point the orchestra
was joined by the Mozart Trio,
the three members of which,
Lee Meredith, John Yard and
Joseph Collins, are not ANA
teurs, having given many re-
citals here in in Europe. The
trio sang a half dozen concerted
numbers from Mozart's oper-
attic works, the most interesting
Of which was a trio from 10
Sposo Deluso," an incompleted
opera Mozart started shortly
before Figaro" and discarded
for the later work. In style
and in orchestration it sounds
very much like Figaro"
Every member of the Mozart
Trio is a capable singer. Last
night l thought Lee Meredith
was in particularly good voice.
The ensemble of these three
good singers is weakened, it
seems to me, by a certain fac
cidity of approach which, Of
course, may be a result of sing
ing with an orchestra not too
sure Of what note comes next.

Kansas City
Health Chief

KANSAS CITY. Nov. IA (AP)
"A Democratic coalition which
has ruled City Hall since last
spring has been forced to pull
in its horns for the first time.
1t relieved DR.. George Feist
as city director Of health and
hospitals yesterday in the face
OF pressure by q group of
churchmen called the Inter-
faith Committee for Civic Ac-
ton. members of the volunteer
medical staff Of the city-oper-
ated General Hospital. several
civic groups and the Kansas
City Star.
DR.. Feist had served less than
a week. The coalition-con-
trolled City Council had pre-
viously-without running into
effective opposition-flred L. p.
Cookingham. city manager for
10 years, and, through his sue
cessor, more than half a dozen
department heads.
Appointment Hit
The coalition ran into trouble
when Reed Mckinley, the new
city manager, fired DR.. Abra-
ham Gelperin, who came here
from Chicago to take the job
Of health director las: year,
and appointed DR. Fest. OPP
ponents commended that DR.
Feist, while recognized as an
outstanding general practi-
toner, lacked training in public
health required by the city
charter.
The opposition reached a
climax yesterday when Mayor
H. Roe Bartle in a speech
charged that the city was being
governed by a few councilmen
in secrecy and in violation OF
the charter.
Mayor Bartle also charged
that men placed in key posi-
tons by the new administra-
ton. in all but two depart
ments, lacked the training and
ability to operate their Offices
efficiently. He did not name
the two exceptions.
