ported yesterday.
Summarizing the results of a
special survey made a year ago,
the bureau announced these
broad findings:
About 2312 million house.
holds-out of a total of 511a
million - received both daily
and Sunday newspapers by
home delivery at the time of
the study. Another 81s million
received only daily newspapers
and 112 million subscribed only
to Sunday newspapers.
$4,000 Sampled
The report was based on a
national sampling of $4,000
households. Complete findings
will be released shortly, the
bureau said.
Many newspaper publishing
executives wanted leadership
questions included in the 1860
census. The bureau decided to
make the special survey in
stead, and along the way it
abandoned tentative plans to
study subscribers to magazines
and weekly newspapers.
The bureau said many of the
171a million households which
did not receive delivery of a
newspaper represent readers
nonetheless. 1t said many peo-
pie make it a habit to buy
papers outside the home but
reported that reliable statistics
in this area are not available
at this time.

How the hungry sheep in
the pews of the Washington
Cathedral are fed when they
look up I am not in a posi-
ton to say. but I am over
joyed to report that the 80
st. Albanian boys who sing
in the choir stalls will eat
considerably higher of the
hog next year. Their wages
were raised last week from
$400 per annum to $500.
When st. Adams was
founded a half century ago,
it was set up primarily as a
choir school. The wages of
the choir boys covered their
entire tuition and Edgar
Priest, the first choirmaster,
was able. by choosing his
singers without consideration
of whether their parents
could or wanted to pay for a
private school, to establish
one of the finest groups of
church choriSters anywhere
in the United States. The
discipline was strict, the
standards were high, the
hours were long. The boys in
their classes were pupils, but
in the choir room and choir
stalls they were professionals.
AS the years passed, the
character of st. Adams
changed, and from being a
choir school for the Cathe-
dral, it evolved into a gen.
eral preparatory school. BY
the late 1920s the college
board examination and not
divine service was the goal
of the suffering student, and
the relatively few choir boys
in the student body were dis
tinguished from their fellows
primarily by the fact that
they were excused from the
Gump's class in Cicero, or
from Pop Henderson's foot
ball practice in order that
they might rehearse hymns
and plain chant for the Sum
day service.
They thus became to a
certain extent the victims of
mass education. They lost
their identities and the pre-
quisites that had originally
been provided for them by
the benefaction of Harriet
Lane-Johnston. For as st.
Albans changed its pristine
personality its schedules and
curricula naturally were more
and more adjusted to the
needs of the majority and the
excused" choir boy some
times mourned the lost OPP
portunity of the missed class.
Even more critical to the mu-
sical prestige of the choir was
the wide gap that developed
between cholarship grant
and the ever-increasing tut
ton. Originally, as I have
said, the grant was for total
tuition: this $400 sum has re-
NAMED constant throughout
the years while st. Albans
tuition has increased to ap-
proXlmately 81 900 for day
students. In recent years
Paul Galloway and Richard
DirkSen have lost or been
unable to engage otherwise
entirely desirable boys be-
cause their parents could not
or were unwilling to pay the
difference between the grant
and the tuition. If the quail
ity of the choir has not Suf-
fered 1t is only because of the
improved teaching it has re-
ceived; it is certain it would
be better than it is if the
choir had the advantage of
drawing on the best prep
students in the country,
without regard to financial
qualification.

Richard Bales will be

Alice M. Ditson prize by Co.
lumbia University. Grayson
Kirk. president of the uni
verSity, will present the
prize-money to Mr.. Bales at
the institutions 206th COM
mencement exercises. The
annual award is to an
American conductor for his
musicianShip and leadership
in the United States" 1t is
of course highly fitting that
conductors be rewarded for
leadership.
Douglas Moore, MacDow-
ell professor of music at
Columbia, has acclaimed the
selection Of Mr.. Bales for the
Ditson award by saying:
Throughout his career,
Mr.. Bales has shown a deep
love and understanding Of
his country'S music, which
are reflected not only in his
own compositions but in his
performances with the Ma
tional Gallery Orchestra and
other orcheStras throughout
the country of representative
compositions by our most
distinguished composers. To
these performances he brings
a high degree of technical
proficiency combined with
eloquence and insight"
Mr.. Bales, one of Wash
ington's most prominent con-
ductors, made his debut with
Cne NaClonal symphony in
1885. A year later he was
named conductor of the Vir-
ginia-North Carolina Sym
phony. In 1943 he became
music director of the Ma
tional Gallery of Art and the
conductor of the National
Gallery Orchestra. He has
been guest conductor in
Philadelphia, New York, st.
Louis, and with the Ma
tional Symphony, the Ameri-
can Little Symphony, and
the Naumberg Orchestra.
Previous recipients of the
DitSon award include: Leon
ard Bernstein, Howard
Mitchell, Leon BarZin, How

the light of her recent ap-

SchwarZkopf on discs.

a luxury in a land of state
education is a fact that can
be considered with equanim-

BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Record Critic

There is a love affair be-
tween Rudolf Serkin and the
Philadelphia Orchestra. The
distinguished pianist seems
always ready to appear with
Mr.. Ormandy's musicians;
and the latter, in turn, seem
always to react with special
verve whenever Mr.. Serkin is
seated in their midst.
All of which is fine for US
customers. The latest happy
result of the happy Philadel-
phia partnership bears the
name of Felix Mendelssohn
on the cover, and offers ap-
preaching an hours worth of
melodious diversion in the
spiraling grooves. The G.
minor concerto-half of the
Offering - sounds pleasantly
familiar as BELTS an erSt-
while warhorse. Its D minor
companion sounds pleasantly
fresh, having been, at least
lately, considerably neglected.
Mendelssohn has been al
legged to be dated. This, on
the current evidence, is a
calumny. Under the we'll
tempered Serkin fingers, at
least, the myriads of notes in
the quick movements sound
dashingly quicksilvery and
the calmer interludeS are
quietly charming. Why quib-
BILE? The whole enterprise, in
brief, seems to me delightful.
The stereo edition justifles
itself in imposing presence,
although the D minor side on
the sample copy had a bit too
much of what, on a vocal re-
cording, would be called sib-
ilancy. Growing pains, yet.
