Before discussing last nights
Phillips Gallery recital by John
Mathews, I should like to make
it plain that I have no grudge
against the double bass. Some
of my best friends are bassists.
Nevertheless, on the basis of
the evidence provided by yes
terday's concert, I would hardly
be tempted to go to a second
similar affair.
Mr.. Mathews is obviously a
good instrumentalist; he could
not possibly hold down the post
Of principal double bassiSt with
the Baltimore Symphony were
he not. But the sounds that
came from his bull fiddle were
for the most part anything but
pleasant.
Few people realize how
tre herous are the upper
reaches of the double bass until
they are exposed to its har-
monies and the peculiarly
eunuchoid sound of its top
string. Time and again, as the
instrument emitted an unfor-
tunate squeak or squawk, ]
was reminded of a clarinet
with a defective reed played by
the beginner.
Mr.. Mathews got off on q
disastrous foot with a scramble
through three movements OF

insupportable.
Matters improved somewhat
with the arrival on the scene

sical helpmeet. The Dragonetti
concerto was not uninteresting.
and the same can be said about
the Hindemith sonata. And
even though the soloist was far
more assured in these works,
sympathetic listening was a
real chore because you could
never be really sure what kind
of a sound was going to emerge
from the bass.

that didn't work.

by the United States cut in
Cuban sugar imports this year.
Mr.. Castro's Commerce Min
ister. Raul Cepero Bonilla. said
last night he hoped the United
States would not buy a pound
of Cuban sugar next year.
Boasting that Cuba had sold
more sugar under the Castro
government than ever before,
Mr.. Cepero Bonilla told a tele-
vision audience that Cubans
had for some time wanted the
United States thrown out of
the international sugar agree
ment, which sets world quotas
and prices.
For the next year it would
be much more convenient for
Cuba if the United States did
not buy a single pound (of
Cuban sugar." said Mr.. Cepero
Bonilla.
This would mean the United
States would have to find a re-
placement on the world market,
he said, and this would drive
the price up and also increase
the world market for Cuba.
He added the world price

GENEVA, Aug. 13 (AP).-
United States Ambassador
James j. Wadsworth, American
delegate at the three-nation

Mr.. Wadsworth is expected

He told a news conference
yesterday that there were some
signs of progress in the talks
in recent weeks, but said the

Hungary Bars
u. ). Attache

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug.
l3 (AP).-The United States
attache here was
ordered out of the country by
the Hungarian government to-
day.
The measure was in obvious
retaliation against Unite d
States refusal to permit the
Hungarian military and air at
tache, Col. Karoly Laszlo, to
return to Washington.
The Hungarian government,
in a note to the United States
legation here. said the residence
permit granted to Col. Carl
Watkins Miller, the United
States military attache, was
being revoked effective at noon
next Friday. Col. Miller had
been at his job here only since
July 26.
A United States legation
spokesman said Col. Laszlo, at
the end of a period of home
leave in Hungary, was not
granted a re-entry visa to the
United States, where he had
served four years. The SpokeS-
man said Col. Laszlo had been
warned repeatedly in Washing
ton about acts termed bad
conduct"
The spokesman charged Col.
Laszlo often failed to identify
himself properly as a Hun
garian diplomat and in this way
obtained Information from pri-
vate firms and individuals.
American Hungarian rela-
tions have long been strained,
with one of the chief bones of
contention the fact that the
Roman Catholic primate of
Hungary, Josef Cardinal Minds
zenty, has been in refuge in the
United States legation here
since the 1856 uprising.
