Also, he said, the question of
greater citizen participation
through elections can be easily
studied there.
Advisory Unit Suggested
Mr.. Boswell said the question
of whether citizen organiza-
tions-such as the Districts
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions-are doing a good enough
job in regard to citizen parti-
cipation will be up to his COM
mittee.
One possibility to study, Mr..
Boswell said, would be a citi-
zenS' advisory council with
members elected from all the
local areas.
Mr.. Boswell currently is
chairman of Maryland's Eco
nomicS and Development Com
mittee.
In other business, the council
declined to take a stand on
relocation in the suburban coun-
ties of District citizens dis
placed by renewal projects. The
council referred the action to
committee with instructions to
seek a Federal rather than local
position on the matter.
The meeting was held in the
District Building.

A native Of Detroit and a
product of Rudolf Serkin's pl-
ano studio at Curtis Institute
in Philadelphia, Ruth Meckler
is this seasons United States
entry in the Pan American
Unions parade Of hemisphere
musical artists. She Is married
to the young Bolivian violiniSt,
Jaime Laredo. and her last ap-
pearance in Washington was as
his accompanist in the same
hall.
Miss Meckler has an in
gratiating stage presence and
she makes a demure and at
tractive picture as she takes
her place at the piano. Then,
surprisingly, she becomes a key
board-stormer She is given
to the fiery approach, attacking
the piano with steely fingered
brilliance, and there is no
doubt at all who is boss.
This attitude made itself felt
most in the Barber sonata
which ended her program. OBJ
viouSly it is a piece for which
she has great affection. The
first two movements were al
most overwhelming in the
sorority and color she drew
from them. Contrast in the
slow third movement gave way
to a barn-burning performance
of the concluding fugue.
There was more of this,
much more, in the Prokoflev
sonata in one movement which
she played with complete con-
viction. In spots, also, the
Ravel waltzes went that way,
but the right amounts of ele-
CANT nostalgia were there. Her
Mozart sonata was strongly
conceived, and delivered with
grace. The Bach capriccio was
played solidly, with very little
sentiment, and none of that
phony respect with which Bach
gets killed off every season.
1t made for an absorbing
evening of serious music max
ing, but one wished at times
for the relief of a Schubert
sonata, for its sentiment, or
maybe a little Debussy for it's
delicacy. To be young and
impetuous and deadly serious in
creating huge waves of sound is
all right in its way. but there
ought to be a little sweetness.
even a little schmaltz, to leaven
the mixture.

Nobody knows when Antonio
Stradivali, the great string in
strument maker, was born, and

admirers and detractors alike
sometimes claim, but it is a

Directed to Carrie

In answer to Carries ques-
tioR Of May 26: Sure it
was terrible what Eichmann
did, but don't you think it
was equally bad what was
done to just as many people
at Hiroshima and NagaSaki?"
First, Germany was fighting
q war under a fanatical die
tator intent on conquering
the world. Germany was
fighting a war against hu-
manity. We, with the Allies,
were engaged in this war to
defend the lives of innocent
people in many other coun-
tries besides oul own. We
entered the war to prevent
the sort of thing that hap
pened at Eichmann's horror
prisons. The initial cause of
entering the war was the
Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor where 5000 American
Naval and military personnel
were killed. This was mass
murder, pure end simple.
As to our bombing of Hir-
oshima and Nagasaki, on
July 26, 1945, representatives
of the United States, Britain
and China met at PoGsdam,
in conquered Germany, and
issued an ultilnatum calling
upon Japan for an uncon-
ditional surrender. When
Japan refused, it was a ques-
ton Of invasion or bombing.
An invasion would have cost
an estimated / million cas-
ualties on our side alone. On
August 6 the bomb was
dropped on Hiroshima killing
10000 people. On August 9,
the Allies having received no
reply to their demands for
an unconditional surrender,
Q second bomb was dropped
on Nagasaki. On the follow
ing day the Japanese govern
ment announced that it
would accept the Potsdam
terms, providing that they
"would not be construed to
comprise any demand which
prejudices the prerogatives of
His Majesty as a sovereign
ruler"
Carrie said, "They say any
thing goes in war and maybe

Reading Play Back, I have
decided to comment on
Whites letter (TEEN, May
26). Yes, the Eichmann trial
has been overplayed a bit,
but I think for a good
reason. Also, I think Israel
should try Eichmann. 1t was
the Jews Eichmann killed
and it should be the Jewish
state that tries him. Unlike
White, ! don't think Ger
many's history has been
"overplayed." Do you call
overplaying herding humans
into stalls to be gasSec to
death. There is the old story
that q Nazi official went on
top of a building with a Jew
ish baby in a basket. He
dropped the baby off the top
of the building to "see what
would happen" After Hitler
ordered Eichmann to stop
the mass deaths he kept on.
No, in my opinion the trial
isn't being overplayed.

many's winning the war, and
we committed mass murder
by dropping the atomic bomb
to further our winning the
war"
This analogy is not correct.
The fact Is, this program of
mass murder against the
Jews was part of Hitler's
war against humanity; his
purpose in doing this was be-
cause he considered them an
inferior race" Like he said.
we dropped the atom to fur
thur our winning the war;
but our purpose in winning
the war was to end the war,
and with it all the death and
suffering which would have
ended had the Japanese gov
ernment agreed to the FotS-
dam terms before the bomb
ings. 1t seems more like the
ones guilty of mass murder
at Hiroshima and NagaSaki
were the Japanese govern
ment, if anybody. Anyone
who says that our bombing
of Hiroshima and NagaSaki
compared to Eichmann'S
horror camps has no business
calling himself a rational
thinker, much less an Ameri-
can citizen.
