FuIbrieht Says

BOSTON, April 20 CAP).-
A summit conference probabl!

ease East-West tension, Chair
man Fulbright of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
said yesterday.
Senator Fulbright was inter-
viewed by Senator Saltonstall
Republican Of Massachusetts,
on a recorded radio program
broadcast over half a dozen Bay
State stations.
Il think there should be re-
curing talks, at the summit il
you like and that gradually
we could persuade them (the
Russians) that there is no sense
in having a war to settle these
differences" Senator Fulbright
said.
He said he looks for no i'm
mediate solution of the prob
lem Of a divided Germany.
Il think it's quite clear from
the reports from different
sources within the last two OF

that when he learns that sing
ing may be preferable TO star,
ting he may produce some ex'
cellent works.

tone. with rubato but no phras-

forecast the real technical mas

Again. Chopin came of
second best. The impressionism
which was so completely appro-
pirate in the Ravel gave us a
Chaplin without elegance, with
out restraint. without nobility,
but with lots of speed and
tacked-on expression" The
favorite effect was to lift the
melody oozing and dripping
from a sea of indefinable
sludge. I never heard Chopin's
accomplishments treated so
cavalierly by de Pachmann, or
Paderewski, or Gabrilowitsch,
or, for that matter, Rubinstein.
Nevertheless, this girl is an
important pianist, tremendous

addressed himself 10 the tasl
earnestly. achieving varying
degrees Of success.
Mr.. Davis tone is a little or
the gross side-far too much SC
for Mozart's subtleties--and his
phrasing was spotty. Both OF
these weaknesses are likely Ia
be overcome when Mr.. Davis
acquires a more thorough con-
troll over his bow arm, but yes
terday any tonal diamonds Mr..
Davis managed to draw from
his instrument we're very much
in the rough.
There were times when the
soloist showed a more impress
sive control over the doings Of
his left hand. information In
the Mozart was no great prob
lem for him, and the early
movements Of the Bach E ma
jor partita were fingered quite
adeptly. The final gigue, how
ever-although taken at a
slightly slower than usual tenn
po came disturbingly close to
losing touch with the reality
Of good old E major.
Most successful was the PEN
etrating E minor sonata of
Prokofieff. This works pungent
allegro brusco is better adapt
ed to Mr.. Davis edgy tone, and,
with the addition of a mute,
the andante took on a quiet
glow Of considerable charm.
The small modern pieces, a
Dramatically colorful but must
cally barren Fantasia by Nor
man Dello Joio and Ravel's ex-
quisite Berceuse, were played
quite satisfactorily. But the
Paganini pieces, whose sole ex-
cuse for existence is for the
bedazzlement of audiences,
might well have remained in
Mr.. Davis practice file for a
few more years.

Natalie Hinderas gave a daz-
zling performance last night
at the National Gallery Of
Art. This was especially true of
her playing Of the demanding
Ravel set Of five pieces. Here
she displayed all that was
necessary of fleetness of fin
gers, of nuance and Of pro-
lection of mood.
And she applied the same
sorcery to the rather sterile
pointillism of the late Debusssy
preludeS. Here she achieved a
strange effect of the utmost
velocity, suspended, without
destination, but changing in
color from the melancholy
pastels of the Feuilles Mortes
to a changing glitter in the
Feux d'Artiflce. l liked espe-
cially her way of suggesting the
mood of piece by the slight
est and most subtle of gestures
and the economy with which
she proportioned her strength
to the demands of the music.
The novelty of the program
was the Washington premiere
of a sonatina by Joseph Cas-
taldo, a composer unknown to
me. 1t is brilliant and was
played expertly, but found It's
mixture of jazz and dodecaco-
phony rather less than enjoy
able I have chalked up also,
as an effect to avoid, the pro-
longed series of grunts achieved
by banging out what may have
been a tune on the lowest notes
of the keyboard. I got the dis
tinct impression of gifts of a
superior order on the part of
the composer, and I believe

fiutists. gave a marathon reci-
tai yesterday at the Corcoran
Gallery with the capable Gene
Akers at the piano.
Mr.. Montgomery played i've
iieces, the first three Of which,
including intermission, lasted
nearly an hour and a half.
That's a lot of flute music,
wen II it's as magical as Mr..
SNontgomery's.
After the beautiful Bach
onata in B minor, a work as
necessary TO a flautist as the
Appassionata is to a pianist,
Mr. Akers and Mr.. Montgomery
turned to the d major sonata
ofea forgotten composer, j. N.
Hummel. Hummel was by no
means forgotten during his
lifetime, but was a composer of
such great repute that his E
lat piano sonata was consid-
cred by some to equal the best
Of Beethoven, and the job of
Sapellmeister at Esterhaza. one
If the most sought-after jobs
n Europe, fell to him on the
resignation of Haydn.
Works by those we now call
asser masters, composers who
have fallen into oblivion, are
often of great interest to me,
for they show us as nothing
else can what was the common
idiomatic material of the time,

temporaries in this ca e

ing amazingly like Beethoven.
Its ideas are strong and clearly
developed; it's piano writing is
brilliant, and its flute writing
quite congenial to the instru-
ment.
If we compare the sonata
with the finest works for flute
and piano by Beethoven, we
find that what is missing is
organization, and a feeling of
anticipation, sometimes grati-
fed. sometimes disappointed,
and the great breadth of phras-
ing which is characteristic of
Beethoven. 1t is at this point
that writing about music
breaks down, at least with me.
Beethoven. and Hummel at the
flute are 30 per cent alike and
10 per cent different, but I
cannot explain that 10 per
cent.
Walter Gieseking's variations
on a theme Of Grieg are solidly
Germanic in technique, mixed
with traces of the French har-
monte idiom of Ravel and
DebuSsy. They are stunning
virtuoso pieces for both players,
but they have the fault of
seeming intermiriable, although
in reality they last less than
half an hour. After Grieg's
tune is worried to death, the
composer hopes he can bring
1t back in its original simple
form, in the manner of Bee
Opus 100, or Bach's
Goldberg variations. 1t doesn't

are very likely to be confronted

r As We See

Herman Flowers, newly installed president of the Lexington
Chamber OF Commerce, has indicated that plans will be initiated at the
first meeting of the Chamber Board of Directors to select a committee
to look into the possibilities of making Holmes county more attractive
to tourists.
We think this is a wise move.
Since our county is SO richly endowed with historical "bnthplaces"
winch could be big time tourist atachons, We believe the appointment
OF this committee could well be the first step in making Holmes county
a mecca Tor tourist and an influx of untapped revenue TO our people.
OF course a movement of this magnitude will take time and a big
effort by a lot of people. But anything worth having is worth working
for. And as we have stated before, Holmes county people can do
miraculous things when they put their minds to it and their shoulders
to the whee.
We understand the Eastern Star has initiated plans to accumulate
the little brick schoohouse at Rchland, the birthplace of that nation
wide organization, just as soon as the building is vacated, for purposes
OF making a national shrine out of the historical place. How soon that
will be is only a guess. The building which is on the 18th section land,
is now being used for a colored school The County school reorganza-
tonal plan will abolish that school we are told.
The aforementioned committee could well work with the Eastern
Star IN many ways to help advertise the spot and to attract tourists
from all over the nation.
The committee could work toward building some sort of a shrine
the 4H Club movement,
George Goodwin, an advertising executive of Jackson, has visualzcd
a plan, which we Fundamentally approve, to start a movement to re-
oganize Confederate Army units throughout the South to participate in
beginning in 1861. Thousands and thousands of tourists will be treking
to Mississippi during the A year celebration and some of those people
could certainly be enticed to stop off in Holmes county to look over
some of our historical spots.
We could go along with Mr.. Godwin's idea, which was ednorialzed
by Editor Jimmy Ward on the front page of the jackson Daily News
last Thursday The Civil War Skirmish at Franklin could be exploited
ATTACHING additional people through the country on their way to Vicks-
burg, certainly to be one of the major attractions during the centennial
celebration.
A few signs placed strategicalty along the major highways through
the county would let travellers know what Holmes county has to offer to
sightseers. Tourists are always looking for historical places of interest
Just as new industries, better foreshng, cattle growing and farming
will help build a better economy for our county, a well planned move
ment to make our county attractive to tourists is just as important, as
we see it.
