tributing factor. = He said. how
ever, the injury apparently was
inflicted within the last two
weeks.

AND HERE HE MIGHT ask


a pointed question. The
Smithsonian has nothing on
the invention of the bomb
(which after all had a lot
to do with bringing him
here) or its secondary de-
velopment, atomic energy.
Can it be that we are not
proud of it?
Any tour of Washington
should include the National
Gallery of Art. There he
would see the 81 pictures
from the Hermitage Gallery
in Leningrad which Andrew
Mellon purchased from the
Soviet government. They in
clude two RaphaelS (Alba
Madonna and st. George and
the Dragon, a Botticelli
(Adoration of the Magi) and
two RembrandtS.
He might well ask him
self why one of the wealth.
est nations in the world let
these outstanding works of
Western art go for a few
million dollars. But he
needn't be embarrassed. He
can remember the pictures
as material for another
speech on how foolish was
his predecessor, Mr.. Stain.
No one is more boring than
a host who is showing his
wealth at every turn. II
might be well to show Mr.
KhruShchev that Washing
ton, as well as Moscow, has
the problem Of the poor-oi
persons who seek only shelter
and food and are willing tt
live under almost any con-
ditions as long as they gel
both. And it might be vel
to show him the compare
lively high standards o.
space and ventilation anC
sanitation we try to main
tain.

Commons Roar Adds Realism to Overture 1872
By WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star stan Writer

The Army Band threw every
thing but the French Foreign
Legion into its thunderous per-
Torrance of Tschaikovsky's
Overture 1912" last night at
the Watergate.
Calling up reinforcementS
like Napoleon at Moscow, the
band tackled the tumultuous
score with rs instruments, four
cannonS and a battery of SOL
dierS. The result was almost
deafening-but lots of fun for
participants and audience
alike.
About 5000 Washingtonians
turned out for the perform
ance, an annual event at Wa
tergate. Drawing occasional
spurts of rain and the heav-
lest traffic at the concert site
this year, the crowd filled seat
ing space to overlooking long
before the opening number at
$3.50 pm.
Spreading Crowd
BY the time the first notes
sounded of the famous, rousing
overture which commentaries
the Russians defeat of Napo-
leon in 1872, the crowd had
spread to the rim of neighbor-
ing bridges.
At 9:45 the music reached a
climax. AS the band began its
long descent from the strains
of the "Marseillaise," two musi-
cians-SergtS. Henry Weichler
and John Totten-alerted a
battery of 20 soldiers beside
four 3-inch guns some 100
yards north of the Watergate
barge.
Raising his arm as Sergt.
Weichler diligently followed the
score, Sergt. Totten caught the
