The conditions of a Saturday
night National Symphony
''pops" concert, at which light
and widely popular music is
the rule, include a number of
attractive soloists, a minimum
of rehearsal time and tickets
cheaper than those for series
concerts.
The skimping of rehearsal
time puts a conductor to an
acid test, for popular music is
not necessarily easier to play
than Brahms or Stravinsky.
:. Julius Rudel, who came down
from the City Center Opera in
New York to conduct the Ma
tional Symptoms Die Fled

challenge successfully. The or
chestra sounded fine under his
brisk baton, and the singers all
gave considerable life to the
old Viennese warhorSe, which
nowadays appears under as
many disguises as Handel's
Messiah"

Russia Isn't Too Fond
Of Tough Schools Now

onstrate a painful awareness
that a course taken cannot
necessarily be equated with
knowledge acquired" Mr.. Rem
field writes.
High grades, moreover, ap-
parently do not mean high
achievement in some Russian
schools. The Ministry Of Edu-
cation reported that at one
school, official figures placed
achievement in Russian Ian
guage courses at 86.5 per cent.
But the testing. administered
by (our) inspectors, found Q
figure of 1913 per cent"
Grading Discrepancies
Similar discrepancies = "the
results of liberality and down.
right deception in grading
were found throughout the
Tatar Republic Of the Soviet
Union, the ministry said.
Mr.. Renfield states that, al
though the Russians show "a
f1attered awareness of Amer-
can praise of Soviet education"
they often don't agree with it.
The so-called "10-year." or
college preparatory, school has
been particularly praised by
Americans for its tough aca-
demic program, Mr.. Renfield
notes. But this type of institu-
ton was put out of existence
a year ago by a new education
law.
while Americans have
praised it," Mr.. Renfield writes,
"the SoyietS have abolished it."

BUDAPEST, Hungary. Jan.

chief ideologist, has been
moved back up the ladder to
First Deputy Premier.
The government shuttle. an
nounced today by the party
newspaper Nepszabadsag, also
includes a new assignment for
Gyoergy MaroSan, No. 2 man
in the party.
Nepszabadsag said Mr.. Kali
lai was relieved as a minister
of state in order to take over
the deputy premiership.
Westerners here consider
that Mr.. Kallai, a lifelong
friend of Jonas Kadar, Com
munist Party chief, is now in
a strong position to inherit
the premiership from Ferenc
Muennich, who is IA years old
and reported to be ailing. Mr.
Kallai is so.

The latter, an intellectual
and lifelong Communist. has
been in jail twice for his be-
liefs. AS a student, he was
imprisoned during Hungary'S
prewar Fascist regime of Ad-
miral Nicholas Horthy. In 1851
he and Jonas Kadar were
jailed by Matyas Rakosi, Stall
mist dictator. Like Mr.. Kadar
