Ruth Meckler, a very small
pianist from Detroit now play
ing out of Philadelphia, tackled
a very big program last night
at the Phillips Gallery. The
second half Of Miss Meckler's
bill was the sort usually as
sociated with Goliaths of the
keyboard; consequently, it was
something of a surprise to dis
cover that the soloist was such
a petite miss.
The best playing of the eve
ming, for me, came at the very
end, with a reading of Sam
uel Barber's craggy piano So
nota that was, for the most
part, unusual in its clarity
Here Barber's writing is closely
knit and quite dark-hued. Ex-
cept for some of the most tran
scendentally difficult pages in
the last movement, Miss Meek
Ter brought the work out into
the sunlight and put air around
1t. in much the same way that
a stereo recording gives music
a sense Of presence. 1t was, I
thought, & fine Job.
Strangely enough, the Barber
was the only work that Miss
Meckler chose to play full
strength. For the rest of her
program. she scaled down her
dynamicS to the point where
1T seemed that she was almost
whispering in tone.
This was effective enough in
the Bach and in portions of
the Beethoven A major sonata.

slow movement. but I am
afraid that it didn't work at
all in the Ravel.

BY J. A. OTEARY
sstar stan Writer

President Eisenhower today
called on Southern cities TO
arrange bi-racial conferences
to ease the tension resulting
from Negro demonstrations
against segregation.
He also reaffirmed support
Of his own seven-point civil
rights bill, which he described
as a moderate and reasonable
path. But he left no doubt
he will take the best bill he
can get from Congress.
Opposes Action Here .
Mr.. EiSenhower's suggestion
for interracial meetings in
Southern cities came when he
was asked at his press confer
ence whether he did not feel
he should call Southern lead
ers to a White House confer
ence to discuss the threat of
disorder in the wake of Negro
demonstrations against segre-
gated lunch counters.
Without hesitation the Pres
ident declared his opposition
to the idea of trying to solve
every local problem from
Washington.
Mr.. Eisenhower voiced his
sympathy for any group OF
people who are trying to ex-
press their aspirations, and
said that when they are doing
it in a legal way, such as
marching in the street or hold
ing other kinds of peaceful
demonstrations, they should be
permitted to do so.
But the President drew Q
distinction between such Incl
dents, which he said are q
local problem, and protecting
basic Constitutional rights. as
Congress and the administra-
ton are trying to do in the

President Urges South
To Hold RocioI ToIks

pending voting rights provi-
sions.
Asked to comment on the
action Of the House in side
tracking two Of the seven points
in his civil rights bill. the
President said he would con-
tinue to ask for all of his pro-
gram, but added:
II want the best bill Con-
gress will give me in this trou-
bled field"
The two sections ruled out of
order in the House would have
established by statue the COM
mission which already is seek
ing by executive order to pre-
vent job discrimination on
Government contracts, and
would have extended financial
and technical aid to communi-
ties that are trying to carry out
the Supreme Court school inte-
grafton decision.
No Easy Answer
When the recent racial dis
turbances in the South were
first mentioned, Mr.. Eisenhower
said it was difficult to give Q
sweeping answer, because some
of the demonstrations are un-
doubtedly a proper expression
of aspirations, while others
might fall in a different cate
CORY.
The President said he does
not believe violence in any
form helps solve such problems
and added that he would de-
plore any violence exercised to
prevent people from expressing
their aspirations. He said he
did not want to make any judg-
ment on specific incidents and
emphasized he thought they
were matters that should be
solved at the local level.
