The National Gallery's Sum-
day night audience couldn t
have been given a more well
come Christmas present than
last nights evening with the
Riverside Chamber Singers.
The fresh enthusiasm of
these six young singers from
New York, in their FIRST WASH
irR-ton appearance, set a spark
wi h the audience early in the
ew ming that glowed steadily
ana, with DebusSy's sumptuous
Chansons, burst into a bright
flame. And enthusiasm isn't
all the group can boast.
1t is no mean trick to find
six first-clasS singers who can
adapt themselves, vocally and
temperamentally, to ensemble
singing. Most such groups set
tie for less than first-class sing
ers who, at least, can blend.
Not so with the Riverside Sing
ers. Each and every voice is
a fine one, and their joint effort
is a warmly balanced, elegantly
polished chamber ensemble.
Lynn Clark and Arthur Bur-
rows, two Of the singers, moved
to the piano to accompany
Brahms Il i e b e eslie d e>r
Waltzes," and these two proved
equally adept in that capacity.
Here the group may have sung

Cathedral
Plans Sturt
On Tower

The central tower of the
Washington Cathedral will be
begun in May, 1862, and should
be completed ~ months later,
the Right Rev. Angus Dunn
has announced.
The Episcopal Bishop Of
Washington said the $1.8-mil-
lion Gloria in Excelsis tower has
been made possible by bequests
from the late James Sheldon
Of New York and his sister, the
late Miss Harriette Sheldon.
The Sheldons' bequests have
already provided for the COM
pletion Of the cathedral's
South transept and the build
ing Of the base Of the central
tower. This construction cost
about $l.4 million, a cathedral
oficial said today. This work
began last April.
The tower base is $50 feet
high, and the tower will rise
an additional $50 feet. The
new contract is the largest to
be let by the cathedral.
It will cover installation of
a 52-bell carlton provided by
a bequest from the late Miss
Bessie J.. Kibbey Of Washing
ton. A 10-bell peal also is
planned but the money for it
has not yet been found.

eighth-note figurations and

into q beautifully limpid en-

Mr.. Wells, an Alexanian

Mr.. Rezits holds forth at Tren.

Both are f1rSt-rate artists, and
their respective institutions are

Although the entire program
was absorbing and exquisitely
projected. ! found myself es-
pecially taken with the grace
and subtlety of the Debussy

warmth and q luster it all too

Altogether, Mr.. Wells buries
himself in the music he is

me as something Of q Glenn

with agonized facial express
sions, yes-and-no head shak-

not infrequently, what comes
from his instrument has much
of the same clarity and purity

SociuIite Found
Slain; Maid and

SHREVEPORT La, Dec. 10
(AP).-Police today held a
maid and her family of four
for questioning in the Staying
Of a Shreveport socialite.
The body of Mrs. w. H.
Booth, 56-year-old mother of
two grown children, was found
yesterday half submerged in a
pool Of water in a dense wood
"a miles south of here. She had
been missing for a week.
One of two stab wounds in
her left side had punctured her
lung. Four ribs, also on the left
side, had been fractured.
The Caddo Parish County
assistant coroner, DR.. Preston
Ferguson, said she apparently
died Is minutes after she was
attacked. Presumably, she was
surprised by her assailant as
she returned to her car in a
parking area at a suburban
shopping center.
Mrs. Booths husband, a
wealthy furniture merchant,
reported her missing. An hour
later her blood-spattered car
was found in the parking lot.
Ofhcers said it had not been
determined whether she was
still alive when she apparently
was dragged from a car near

There are recitals-they do
not happen frequently - in
which all elements seem to fuse
miraculously and everything
turns out perfectly. The con-
cert of yesterday of the Buda-
pest Quartet. Joined by violinist
Walter Trampler. was one Of
them.
The program consisted Of
three of the supreme MASTER
pieces of Mozart, all written
almost simultaneously, and
each quite different in style.
The six quartets with added
viola of Mozart are works that
prove so conclusively that the
combination Of two f1ddles. two
violas and cello Is perfect both
for euphony and for color that
1t is odd that the viola quintet
has been seldom returned to
since Mozart. Beethoven wrote
an excellent one and Brahms
two. but while ] am sure there
are others ! cannot at the mo-
ment recall one by a major
composer.
The D major quintet Of Mo-
zart opens with one Of the COM
poser's rare slow introductions.
The finale is one of the most
fantastic contrapuntal displays
in all music. The miscalled
"fugal" finale of the Jupiter"
symphony is often thought of
as the acme of Mozart counter
point, but it cannot surpass this
quintet finale in intricacy made
effortless.
The F major quartet, Mo-
zart's last. is one of the fasci-
mating games Mozart and Haydn
played with each other, in
which the two friends would
initiate and embellish each
others works. like two inven-
tive pianists improvising stimuli
taneously at two keyboards.
The Haydn quartet Mozart
plays with in this piece is also
in F. Opus "a, No. 2. The slow
movement is based on q re-
peated rhythmic figure that re-
minds one of Schubert.
Mrs. Gertrude Clarke Whit
tall. to whom all Washington is
indebted for the recitals of the
Budapest Quartet, remarked to
all her friends just as the quar-
tet and Mr.. Tramler raised their
bows to commence the E fiat
quintet: Now we are all going
to dance" Mrs. Whittall was
accurate and her criticism Of
the first movement is complete
nothing more can be said. In
the second movement Of the
quintet the composer returns to
the most loved work Of his
youth, die Entfuhrung aus
dem Serail," and rewrites Bel
munte's aria, "Wenn der Freude
Tranen 1liessen," with all the
heightened pathos Of his laJt
period. The wonderful minuet
Of the quintet is notable for its
infectious dance trio, and the
finale is one Of its composers
best rondos.

When Heinrich Schultz pub
lished the Evangelist's recita-
tives from THE Christmas
Story" in 1854, he was in the
10th year of a fruitful life in
which he went through q stylis-
tic development of a magni-
tude as great as those OF
Beethoven and Stravinsky. In
the last period Of his creative
life, his style turned partly
archaic and partly naive. But
the naivete is q strange one
born Of total mastery of all the
complexities Of his art and q
sophistication which even
Goethe would have had to
admire.
Since Prof. Arthur Mendel's
edition Of THE Christmas
Story" appeared. with his ad-
mirable solutions of all the
problems caused by the nota.
ton and the unreliability OF
the sources and an opening
chorus to replace the original,
of which only the bass part Is
extant, the work has intrigued
amateurs and professionals
alike. And it is almost fair
to say that it has trapped
amateurs into attempting its
performance.

was not fully understood. but
neither was it fully misunder-

First Of Three Articles on Guinea

onymous with that Of a partic-
ularly virulent strain of what,
for lack Of a better term. can
be called Afro Communism.
Guinea's history differed lit
tie from that of the other seven
French African territories un-
til September, 1858, when Sc
kou Toure, alone of all French
Africa's leaders, urged his coun-
trymen to vote against men,
berShip in French President de
Gaulle'S Fifth Republic.
Within a matter Of hours,
Guinea found herself independ-
ent and cut of from all French
aid. Out Of difference to France,
her NATO allies offered Guinea
little In the way Of financial
assistance and Toure turned to
the Soviet bloc for help.
He did not have long to wait.
Barter deals quickly were con-
cluded with Russia, Poland,
East Germany and CzechoSlo-
vakia. Ghana advanced the
new republic a $28 million loan.
On the Path to Communism
1t can be argued that in early
1859 Mr.. Toure acted out of ne
cessity. But in recent months,
when the independence of all
the other ex-French African
states has made realignment
an easy matter. Mr.. Toure has
continued to lead Guinea down
the primrose path Of commu-
niSm.
/ The profound nature of this
shift to the left easily can be
seen through an analysis oi
Guinea's trade statistics.
During the first half Of this
year, 81 per cent Of Guinea's :
imports still came from the
West while she found markets
there for "a per cent Of hel
produce.
BY June Of this year. imports
from the West had fallen to %
per cent Of Guinea's total and
exports to SO per cent. In that
month. to put it another way
II per cent Of Guinea's supplies
came from the Soviet bloc
which bought nearly a third
Of everything she produced.

Even these figures do not tel

BY government decree, the
Guinea francs (which were to
have no connection with the
rest Of the franc zone) were
supported only by the physical
assets of the country and were
stated to have no value at all
in foreign trade. In effect, all
foreign assets within the coun-
try were frozen.
Perhaps coincidentally, Mr..
Toure on the same day an
nounced Guinea's acceptance Of
a $35 million Russian loan.
AS a result of these monetary
reforms" trade with the franc
zone by the end Of this year
will have dwindled to nothing.
Western businessmen are cur
failing their operations, cutting
their losses and getting as much
Of their capital as they can
out Of the country by one means
or another.
The white population has fall
len from $4,000 in 1858 to 1000
today, and many of these are
French Communists.
Reds African Show Piece
The Soviet bloc is making o
major effort to make Guinea
its Show-piece Afro-Commu-
mist nation (Guinea's trade
unions and its one political
party have long been inflltrated
by Communists and organized
along Communist lines, hence
little reformation Of the coun-
try's internal structure is nee
essary from the Communist
point Of view.
The Soviet bloc can afford to
pour money into Guinea on an
uneconomic basis because the
republic is one Of communism's
few points Of penetration in
Africa. In contrast, the West
must spread its aid thin to
cover the whole continent.
No reliable figures are avail
able as to the number of Com
munist "technicians" now in
Guinea. They arrive either in
Soviet aircraft or in Air GUM
ea's Czech-piloted Ilyushin-l4s.
They do not go through the
normal immigration formali-
ties, and are spirited up-coun-
try Immediately.
$1O2 Million In Communist Aid
| It is likely that there are
not less than 500 nor more than
1000 Of these "technicians'A In
the country, according to West
ern diplomats. In an operation
such as this, however, numbers
are less important than the
caliber Of the men and the SEN
Sitivity Of the posts in which
they are spotted.
In this instance, they are ef-
fective individuals and they are
strategically located. There is
no important ministry which
does not have at least one So
Wet bloc adviser enjoying entry
to and the confidence of the
Guinean minister.
In its first two years of inde-
pendence Guinea, according to
Mr.. Toure, has received $lO2
