as the founder of Washington
Records, a label specializing
in serious music outside the
standard repertory which has
established itself nationally
as a leading quality name.

And Old Hand Here

Mr., Bialek is no novice in
the presentation of concerts
since he has made a speciality
Of sponsoring offbeat musical
entertainment here for some
time now.
The agency for the Phila-
delphia Orchestra does. how
ever, mark his emergence as
a major Washington impre-
sario and his dynamic and
imaginative qualities will in
evitaby lend new color and
energy to the Washington
concert scene, now experience
ing a period Of tremendous
boom.
I'm very happy to have
been instrumental in getting
the Philadelphia Orchestra to
reinstate its traditional
Washington concert SERIES"
said Mr.. Bialek,
Evening star., 1961-12-10

addition to the traditional
songs, she does Sweet Lii
Jesus unaccompanied and
the Ave Marias of both
Schubert and Bach -Gounod,
which alone are worth the
price Of the record.
A Great Messiah
Miss Sutherland, latest
Metropolitan Opera Sensa-
tion who sings at Constitu-
ton Hall tomorrow night,
comes along just in time for
Santa Claus with Handel's
Messiah. a 3-disk London
set conducted by Sir Adrian
Boult with the London Sym
phony Orchestra and Chorus.
This may be the Messiah
you have been waiting for. 1t
also may be Sir Adrian's
answer to the much-criticized
overblown M e ssia h of Sir
Thomas Beecham.
Four Fine SOlOiSts
Sir Adrian uses moderate
forces. but how he uses
them! With restraint, but full
realization of each solo or
choral section. with climaxes
that soar without being bonn
bastic. Miss Sutherland is
as great as she Is supposed
to be. What trills. what fl
oratura. what depth Of feel
ing!
But she is not alone, and
that is what makes this an
outstanding production. The
other soloiSts contribute in
equally fine measure-Tenor
Kenneth McKellar. Contralto
Grace Bumbry and Bass David
Ward. Together with a we'll
trained, cleanly delineated
chorus and a reduced orches-
ira and harpsichord. they
produce a Messiah that could
be the best recorded.

More YuIetide

Then there Is the immortal
Kristen Flagstad singing
Great Sacred Songs" with
the London Philharmonic
conducted by Sir Adrian
Boult on the London label.
This is no shell of q voice the
retired Wagnerian heroine ap-
plies to Silent Night. o Come
All Ye Faithful and other
songs. The artistry will never
die and she caresseS each
note with a loving touch.
Choir boys are as much a

sirable London releases:

Water Service
Is Restored on
Fairfax Line

Water service was restored
early today for several hundred
homes in Fairfax County after
a faulty main valve caused a
cutoff yesterday.
John R. Patterson. chief of
the Falls Church Water De-
partment which serves the
area, said that the valve broke
yesterday morning as workmen
were trying to fix a leak in a
24-inch main at Chain Bridge.
Service was cut off for about
800 homes in the Mclean,
Chesterbrook and Merrifield
areas, Mr.. Patterson said.
The valve, located at the Ar
lington Falls Church water
connection, was believed re-
paired about $3.50 pm, but Gus
toners were getting only
trickle of water, Mr.. Patterson
said. Further checking by Al
lington officials revealed one of
the valves at the connection had
been only partially reopened.
Full service was restored by
1890 am.

81 Revenue Estimate
Raised by Land Sale

District revenue estimates for
the next fiscal year have been
raised more than $2.1 million,
mainly to reflect the city's de-
cision to sell the site of the
Western Market and third pre-
cinct police station.
According to a report today,
the general fund revenue dur
ing the fiscal year beginning
next July l will total $173, $780,
000-an increase of $2,15O,OO0
over estimates in January.
The market and police sta
ton land at Twenty-first and
K streets NV. is expected to
sell for about So million.
Officials emphasized there
will not be a So million net
gain. The cost of relocating
the police station will be SPAS
900. This cost including con-
struction of a new police sta
Evening star., 1961-04-20

ton and site acquisition, pre-
sumably will be covered in the
city's amendments to its pres
ent proposed budget for the
forthcoming fiscal year.
City officials said that what
ever amount the land sale
brings in will be more than
offset by fiscal setbacks that
the city has recently received
from Congress.
Today's report also showed
a 5000 decrease in estimated
general fund revenue for the
current fiscal year, to $170,285, :
900. This drop, officials ex-
planned, mainly is the result
of a decrease in interest on
investments. This estimate was
lowered after Congress denied
the city a request for a supple
mental Federal payment, which
would have drawn interest.

For Chief of
Plan Board
BY GEORGE WILSON
Star staff Writer

The District Commissioners
have sent President Kennedy
four names from which to pick
! a chairman of the National
Capital Planning Commission,
lit was learned today.
The present chairman. Dean
A. M. Woodruff of George
Washington University. is a
Republican who already has
submitted his resignation to
President Kennedy. Mr.. Wood
ruff hopes to remain on the
commission as member, how
ever.
The District Commissioners
suggested for the job:
Robert T. Bower. a sociologist
who is director of the Bureau of
Social Science Research, a pri-
vate organization here, a men,
ber Of the Districts Health and
Welfare Advisory Council. the
Washington Housing Associa-
ton and the Capital Demo-
cratic Club.
! Robert H. Levi, president OF
the Hecht Co, a member OF
the Federal City Councils ex-
ecutive committee and vice
president Of Downtown Prog
ress. a group of Washington
businessmen trying to revitalize
the commercial core of Wash
| ington.
Frederick Gutheim, president
of the Washington Center fol
Metropolitan Studies and for
mer staff director of the joint
Congressional Committee or
w a hingto Metropolitan
Problems.
Mrs. James H. Rowe, jr., ar
active Democrat since 1898
wife of a former White House
aide of President Roosevelt.
Officials said Mr.. Gutheim's
name was not on the list the
District Commissioners drew ur
originally, but was added at the
specific request of the White
House. This indicates Mr.
Gutheim has a good chance oi
getting the job.
Mr.. Kennedy is expected tC
name the chairman soon. The
likelihood is that Mr.. Woodruff
will be allowed to remain or
the planning commission as 8
member. The new chairman
will fill the vacancy caused by
the expiration April 30 of the
term of Claude w. owen, Sr., g
Republican appointed to the
commission in 1854 by Presi-
dent Eisenhower. Mr.. over
is currently vice, chairman o1
the planning commission.
