The 18th annual American
Music Festival at the National
Gallery Of Art got under way
last night with a very enjoy
able concert by the Alard
String Quartet, assisted by
nutiSt Donald McGinnis.
The skilled members of the
quartet are artiStS-in-reSidence
At Wilmington College in Ohio,
and they showed themselves
10 be an excellent ensemble,
very much at home in the con-
temporary idiom in which the
Juilliard and Claremont Quar-
tets are generally considered
pre-eminent.
Donald McGinnis was an ex-
eellent choice to participate in
the group. The Mid-western
nutist Is a sensitive player with
2 luscious tone and the ability
to blend it exquiSitely in cham
Der music. And since the
strange acoustics Of the East
Garden Court are exceptionally
Kind to the flute-and-StringS
combination, the whole idea
turned out to be a very happy
DIie.
The Novelty Of the evening
was Hall Overton's Second
String Quartet, which received
Its first Washington perform
ance. And two-movement work
vas neatly constructed out Of
mildly Bartokian materials. I
found the meditative and re-
laxed andante more satisfying
than the more ambitious tri-
partite allegro. AS a whole, the
piece was deft and clean music.
To my ears, the high spot Of
the evening was a warm and
happy reading Of Walter Pts
tons 1912 Flute Quintet. Work
ing within virtually rigid claS-
Sical forms, the Harvard COM
poser here achieves high-Spir-
tied and eloquent grace.
After the intermiSSion came a
contrasting touch with a SYM
pathetic projection Of Arthur
Foote's faded but still fragrant
Might Piece" q minor classic
Of the early 20th-century days
Of American music, and the
program came to an end with
Peter Mennin'S uneven second
String Quartet, now 10 years
old. There are moments Of un-
deniable power and eloquence
here. but Mennin has written
better pieces and has managed
to sustain the grand line with
better success on other occa-
sions.
It should be noted, I think,
that the Gallery American
Music Festivals are considerably
less first performance"
sciouS than others. This is by
no means necessarily Q defect.
It allows for much more flexi-
BILE program-making, and serves
to focus attention on worth
while music which has lost its
world premiere" glamour.
As every composer who is
active today well knows, the
hardest problem with his music
is how to get the second and the
third performance, not the first,
and Mr.. Bales is to be COM
mended rather than censured
for making this possible.
Next Sunday, the second fest
tEal. concert will feature new
yaano music by Stefan Wolpe,
Keith Robinson and Gail Kubik,
as.Well as performances Of two
neglected masterpieces, the
SDpland Piano Variations and
the Critics Sonata.

Before beginning the boating

Guard Auxiliary is urging all
boatmen to be sure they can
answer these questions in the
affirmative before taking to
the waterways:
Is your boat properly regis

Are proper life preservers on
board for each person?
Is fire fighting equipment in
working order?
Do you know the rules o1
the road?
Have you knowledge of navi-
gational aids. buoys, can
lights, their colors, etc?

olutions per minute from full
throttle into the economy
range resulted again in more
than a 20 per cent increase in
mileage covered per gallon of
fuel burned.
Don't feel, however, that the
slower you go the more eco
nomical will be your operation
in terms of miles covered per
gallon of fuel consumed. With
this same boat, with the rs
horsepower engine, speed was
reduced to $500 revolutions per
minute and boat speed dropped
to 19 miles per hour. Fuel con-
sumption at 19 miles per hour
showed a decided decrease to
$50 gallons per hour.
However, the number OF
miles covered per gallon of fuel
consumed decreased to Sis
miles per gallon or .04 miles
per gallon less than at the 29
miles per hour range. The
boat operator interested in
economy need not feel that he
must proceed at a snails pace
Here a reduction in boat speed
of 10 miles an hour actually
resulted in lessened efficiency
in terms of water miles covered

New Chief of WiIdIife
:Mukes Trout Do Tricks

SEATTLE, April / (APl.-
Clarence Pautzke is a will-do
person.
If, the new United States
Fish.and Wildlife commissioner
said he planned to teach fish
to walk around waterfalls you
couldn't lay a bet against it in
the states of Washington or
Alaska.
People hereabouts like to re-
fer to him as Mr.. Steelhead,"
The steelhead is a migratory
trout born in Pacific coastal
streams. 1t spends three years
in the ocean and then comes
back to home waters, grown
up to weigh 7 to 20 pounds
Some = called "lunkersp- are
evens larger.
Many fishermen and fish
cries experts tell you there
might be almost no Steelheao
today had not Pautzke come
along.
AS an employe of the Wash
ington State Game Depart
ment some 20 years ago, he
noted the gradual disappear
ance of the big trout. Research
showed they were being caught
as pan fish by sportsmen be-
fore they grow large enough
to go to sea.
Most steelies spend theb
first two years in the streams
but the fisheries men notec
that some, growing more rap
idly than most, headed for ses
after one year. Maybe, though
Pautzke, we can step up tht
timetable.

who has been on several, and
at times the big truck couldn't
keep UP, Toward the end Of
the trip it got lost for so long
that a plane was sent from
Mogadiscio to look for it.
So poorly mapped was the
country that they would head
toward what appeared to be
native towns only to find moth
ing but a border marker or
water hole.
Lions UncO-Operative
First they tried for big cats
but had poor luck. They did
bag gerenuk, a long-necked an
telope, Grants gazelle, oryx and
warthog and found unbelievable
numbers of wild ducks in a
marsh.
Next they spent three days
looking for Hunters gazelle and
Stans bagged one, but Bugg
was laid low by a scorpion
that crawled up his pants leg
When he recovered, he also got
a gazelle.
Finally, they crossed the Juba
River near the Kenya border
on a primitive ferry and camped
on the bank to wait in vain fol
the big truck.
Their objective was elephant
and an old bull with 160-pound
tusks was Bugg's big prize.
Follow Tracks Three Days
The elephant was bagged
after the hunters followed its
tracks for three days, first by
truck and then on foot, mean
time running out of water and
having to drink river water
from gasoline cans. On the
fourth morning a native track
er spotted the big bull from q
treetop.
Then they went back to Mog-

operated this 17-footer with
both an 80 horsepower and a
rs horsepower engine. At full
throttle with two aboard, the
so horsepower engine offered
a top speed of 1873 miles per
hour.
The engine. at this speed,
burned 9.17 gallons of fuel per
hour and the boat covered 4,l8
miles for every gallon con-
sumed. At 34.8 miles per hour
the fuel consumption dropped
to 6.67 gallons per hour and at
this throttle setting the boat
covered 5.23 miles per gallon.
At full throttle the engine had
been turning $500 revolutions

1890 revolutions per minute
had resulted in a 20 per cent
fuel savings per water mile

Pautzke found he could cut
the spawning time from 40
days to 10. And in the warm,

Streams were closed to give
the newly released trout a

Save Fuel With Throttle Savyy

Last year pleasure boats
consumed more than 750 mil
lion gallons of gasoline. Due
to thoughtless operation at

wasted, This is enough gas to
keep an average pleasure boat
operating continuously for the

Few boatmen would fail to
protest long and loud before
they'd pay for, 10 gallons OF
fuekif they knew that only 8l2
gallons had been pumped into

average, a gallon and a half OF
every 10 gallons of fuel con-

wasted.

FORE AND AFT
Hearings Set on Proposal
For Short Cuts Into Buy
FORE AND AFT

An old project that would
enable small boats to bypass
much of Chesapeake Bay on
their way up and down the in
land waterway is one step
nearer realization.
The PROPOSAL. turned down
over the years by the Army
Engineers who felt it wasn't
justified, would provide a con-
tinuous waterway from Lewes,
Del. to Cape Charles. Va. f
It also would provide a short
cut from Chincoteague Bay to
lower Chesapeake Bay via the
Pocomoke River and a canal
near Snow Hill, Md.
This would mean that a boat
coming down the inland water
way along the Jersey coast
coUld cut across delaware bay
at its mouth instead of going
up the Delaware River and TAX
/ ing the Delaware and Chesa-
peake Canal into Chesapeake
Bay.
] From Lewes, the boat would
have a protected d passage
through the various bays past
Ocean City, Md, and Chinco-
league and Wachapreague, Va.
to the mouth of Chesa-
peake Bay at Cape Charles.
Funds were appropriated al
