The never-played Haydn
sonata Is a beauty. Perhaps
Mr.. Davis thinks of it in too
wide a dynamic framework;
still, it was a Joy to hear. The
variations written on the name
"Abegg" are Schumann's Opus
1, so we can say that Schu-
mann, like Horace. begins "ah
ovo." This work is seldom
played in public but It is a
fine display of Schumann's
pianistic, genius in its more ex-
troverted and flashy manner
Mr.. Davis played the work with
the greatest elan-as a matter
of fact, there was nothing In
his whole evening of music
making that contradicted the
impression that he Is one OF
our finest pianists.

The Agriculture Symphony
Orchestra under the direction
OF John A. Gosling last night
presented q concert dedicated
TO the memory of the members
Of the Navy Band who lost their
lives in the tragic plane crash
at Rio de Janeiro last month.
Featured as soloist was Ben
jamin Ritter. the orchestra's
concertmaster and assistant
conductor, who was heard in
the thrice-familiar but none
theless lovely Mozart D major
concerto.
Because Of its utter trans
parency Of texture, Mozart is
a very difficult test for the
amateur orchestra, and while
the men Of the Agriculture
and Mr.. Ritter certainly de-
serve an A for effort, it cannot
be said that they passed with
flying colors.
Mr.. Ritter got most of the
notes. but he was plagued by
pitch trouble. a tendency to
run away from the orchestra
and general lack Of nuance.

I had a chance to hear the

Gosling took over. Mr.. GoSling

quently succeeded in doing. The
general feeling tone-discount-
ing the ragged attacks, re-
leases, and shaky information
characteristic Of the amateur
orchestra-was careful rather
than inspired.
The best playing Of the eve
ming came after the intermis-
sion with a solid reading Of
the MendelSSohn Reformation
symphony. Both Tchaikovsky
and Mozart seemed Just a shade
to rich for the orchestra's pres
ent blood.

Air Force Wins in l3t Attempt to Pick Up Space Capsule

WASHINGTON, R - A space capsule fired back to earth from an orbiting U. s. satellite was rushed toward Hawaii today with a payload of data that could help in perfecting spy-in-the-sky system.
 With recovery of the capsule - for the first success in IS at tempts - the United States ap- peared to have won lap in the space race with the Soviet Union.
 The 300-pound capsule, loaded with instruments, was fished from the Pacific Ocean about 330 miles northwest of Hawaii Thursday by a helicopter which hurried to the spot from a waiting ship.
 A little over three hours ear Her, the Air Force triggered the election mechanism of its Dis coverer XIII as it made its 17th pass over Alaska in polar orbit
 With steering rockets starting it on the way, the capsule plunged downward into the thick air en- velope of the earth. A parachute opened. Radio beacons helped ob- servers plot its course. Then crews of waiting C-119 planes saw the chute, followed the capsule down and circled above the spot.
 The Air Force plan was to snatch the chute and capsule into one of the C-119's, but scattered clouds caused trouble and a sea recovery was required.
 It was No. 13 of the Discoverer satellite series which brought luck to the Air Force. Some of the previous launchings had failed to put satellites into orbit. Some went into orbit but failed to eject the capsule or elected it in the wrong direction.

Hammarskjold and Troops Land in Congo Province
By ADRIAN PIRTER

ELISABETHVILLE, The Con- go, LR - United Nations Secre- tary General Dag Hammarskjold and the first U. N. force to enter secessionist Katanga Province landed today.
 The force - 22O Swedes - arrived in five planes, touching down at 10-minute intervals.
 Hammarskjold and the soldiers almost did not land after all. The crowd at the airport saw Ham marskjold's plane circle the air field three times.
 Katanga's Pr fer Noise Tshombe and other government officials waiting at the airport were told as the plane circled that the Secretary refused to land.
 It appeared the control towers European operator had told Ham marskjold he would be allowed to land but that permission would be refused to the planes carrying the Swedish soldiers.
 Tshombe was appalled, and quickly ordered the control tower to allow all U. N. planes to land-
 Although Tshombe three days ago announced he was willing to accept the U. N. force under the Security Council mandate for re- placement of the Belgian soldiers on duty in Katanga, the order to prevent them from landing never was withdrawn at the airport con- trol tower.
 That explanation was given to newsmen by Tshombe himself.

Northern Observers May Spot Echo Satellite

WASHINGTON, R - The Echo I Balloon Satellite will not pass over Alaska or the main part of Russia, but during some of the orbits it will be visible from most of those areas.
 Orbit No. 1, early Saturday, for example, which takes the satel- lite directly over Hawaii at 2:14 am. EST, will be visible from Alaska and the Aleutian Islands and from most Canadian cities.
 The Echo orbits will eventually cover every part of the United States, Central America and South America except for the southern tip of Chile, all of Af- rica and southern Europe, and all of Asia from Japan south.

 Vice President Richard Nixon is "a fumbler," and mot a poli- tician but a grocery clerk"
 Joseph Curran, president of the National Maritime Union, Thurs day related details of a 17-day Soviet trip and described his July 13 meeting with Khrushchev.
 "He showed a great deal of in- terest in the United States poli- tical situation, especially in who the next President would be- Curran said.
 Curran said Americans have been given false picture of the Soviet Union. He said they are told that the Soviets are back ward, prisoners waiting for some one to lead them out of the dark ness.

Satellite Echoes
 Ike Peace Message

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, JAP - The United States sent huge communications satellite into or bit high above the earth today and quickly signalled it's success by bouncing message from President Eisenhower across the nation
 The message, loud and clear, said:
 "This is President Eisenhower speaking.
 "It is a great personal satis- faction to participate in this first experiment in communications in volving the use of satellite bal loon known as Echo.
 ''This is one more significant step in the United States program of space research and exploration.
 "The program is being carried forward vigorously by the United States for peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind.
 "The satellite balloon which has reflected these words may be used freely by any nation for similar experiments in it's own in terests.
 Information necessary to pre- pare for such participation was widely distributed some weeks ago.
 "The United States will con- tinue to make freely available to the world the scientific informa- tion acquired from this and other experiments in it's program of space exploration"
 The recording was broadcast to the satellite on its first sweep around the earth.
 Dr. T. Keith Glennan, NASA administrator, gave the new sat elite the name of Echo I.
 Observers on the Pacific Coast reported that in the early morn ing darkness it shone some seven times brighter than the North Star.

TOrchbearers Trek To Rome to Begin l96O Olympics

OLYMPIA, Greece. LR-It took the aid of police today to get the Olympic Flame for the 1860 games started on its way to Rome.
 A crowd of 5000, which turned out to watch the ancient cere- mony which lighted the flame by the rays of the sun, jammed the exit and the first of 340 torch bearers was unable to squeeze through.
 Police finally cleared a passage.
 The ceremony at this site of the ancient Greek games provides a link between the original sports festival and the mammoth games opening in Rome Aug. 25.
 A Greek woman, dressed in the robes of an ancient priestess, held a magnifying glass in front of a torch to light it.
 Runners then set out to carry the flame to Athens.
 The distance to Athens is $40 kilometers (214 miles,, and $40 torch bearers are waiting at each kilometer marker for the relay.
 The last runner is due to ar rive Friday night at Athens Pan athenian Stadium, site of the first moern Olympic Games in 1896.
 There, Pietro Onegio, vice chairman of the Italian Olympic Committee, will take the torch aboard the sailing ship Amerigo Vespucci. which will dock at Sy- racuse, Sicily, August IS.
 Runners will head north to Rome, 1 ,532 kilometers (950 miles) away.
 The flame will reach Rome Aug. 24.
