Treaty Hopes Wane

The talks we're resumed IN
response TO the demand Of an
overwhelming majority of the
United Nations General AS
sembly. ...
On the eve Of the new ses-
sion, the Soviets published a
new treaty draft which, in the
view Of Western officials,
sounded the death knell to
any hopes for a treaty at this
time.
The Russians in effect ruled
out any realistic prospect OF
an international control and
inspection system to prevent
secret violations. Without such
a system, the West says. any
nuclear test ban is unaccept-
able because there can be no
assurance against cheating.
Talks to Continue
The Soviet draft also sought
to prevent the United States
from continuing underground
nuclear tests, launched after
the start Of the recent Soviet
series-or Of matching Soviet
advances in nuclear weapons
with it's own tests in the atmos-
phere. The United States and
Britain we're considered certain
to reject such an obvious trick
intended primarily as q propa-
ganda gesture to fallout-f fear

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER
Is Modern Man GETTING Soft?

Some pSychiatriSts are wor-
ried because the new Ameri-
can male lacks aggression.
He is becoming too polite, too
sweet. too easily turned
away from his goals. Our
women-God help us!-now
have more aggression than
the men. They are bolder,
brassier. and more ready to
fight for the things they
want. Once, they wore a
mantle Of lovely ignorance.
THERE IS A JOKE about a
fat man sitting in his socks
in front Of a television set.
His wife walked across the
room and slapped him. He
looked up and growled:
"What's that for?" She
trembled with rage. That"
she said, "is because you kiss
lousy" He sat back and
watched the show awhile.
TheE he stood, walked,
across the room to where she
sat, and hauled off and belted
her. Whats that for?" she
said.
That" he said, "is for
knowing the difference"
Man has always kept his
woman ignorant. because
what she didn't know couldn't
hurt him. The men Of those
times were more aggressive
and 1t was not unusual for
a boy to rise to the top Of
the heap and become a mil
lionaire. The women could
afford to be passive.
1t was q nice sort Of life
that way. The men were
men: the women were ladies.
Aggression is not belligerence,
nor bad manners. nor pugna-
ciousness. 1t is a manly desire
to cherish and protect and
dominate a family and to 60
out in the world and fight
for the good things for them.
In DR.. william Glasser's
new book. Mental Health or
Mental Illness?" (Harper).
he says it succinctly: "An
civilized societies are con-
tinually caught in a basic
dilemma: The need to curb
aggreSsiveness to the point
where it does not harm others
yet not curb it to the point
where 1t ceases to function

Lorna Cooke deVaron, who
conducted the Magnificat, is

After winning an imposing
array Of first prizes in musi-
cianship and organ playing
and after wide concertizing in
Europe. Marie-Claire Alain is
now embarking on her first
tour of the United States.
The young French organist
played last night at Westmore-
land Congregational Church in
a program featuring some of
the lesser known works Of her
late gifted brother. Jehan Alain.
To those Of us who knew
Jehan Alain only through his
Variations on a Jannequin
Theme, Litanies and one or two
other works, the two chorals
and two dances heard last night
were disappointing. They had
much Of the fresh inquiry and
still more of the near-banal
spirit which marked Alain's
genius, but it was only with the
concluding Ltanies that Miss
Alain recalled to us the extent
of the worlds loss when her
brother died in the battle for
France 20 years aEo.
Except for a clearly etched
reed dialogue from Couperin's
Parish Mass. Miss Alain's ba-
rogue registration tended to be
a bit heavy for my taste. Nor
was the big G major fugue of
Bach quite the last word in
technical control. But Miss
Alain's is q commanding talent
which will earn her many O
we'll deserved accolade.
Two contrasting themes, sub
mitted to the artist on the spot,
proved fertile material for an
appealing improvised adagio,
scherzo and finale at the end
OF the program.

dollars mother gives me don't
amount to much. They fl
nance my hobby, which is
photography. and is expen-
sive, as Phoebe knows.
With what Mother chips
in for her own expenses. our
budget is in good shape and
Phoebe could give me the
hobby expenses out of it.
But why deprive my mother
of the pleasure she gets.
This way, Phoebe can use the
spare cash in the kitty for
her own interests. I know,
for example, she's saving up
for a pottery kiln.
At the bottom Of this is
Phoebe's resentment of my
mothers living here and Of
what Phoebe calls her baby
ing" Of me.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
This mother-in-law is put
ting her money on the wrong
horse, it seems, If the prize
is to be her happy home.
Her guiding rule in this
menage a trois must be:
Whatever I do must bring
husband and wife closer, not
divide them. Then her pres
ence is a vitamin. not a
virus.
We understand Phoebe's
grippe. But Phoebe seems up
set because she no longer
has supreme command of the
pursestrings. as before. All
money matters used to go
through Phoebe's hands. and
she knew exactly how much
Oscar was spending on what.
Now she can't be sure.
There are two simple REM
edies. One is for Oscar to
draw q large enough sum of
cash from Phoebe's budget to
permit him to act like q man
instead Of a little boy run
ming to ask for ice-cream
money. So long as Oscar
keeps within the agreed-upon
amount, there's no need for
him to report each expendi-
ture.
Second, Oscars mother can
achieve a closer unity for
this couple by offering extra
cash to both, not just Oscar.
What's photography for Os-
car is ceramics for Phoebe,
and on a Mr.. and Mrs. basis
this mother-in-law can pro-
vide the Sauce" to her

In this age when so many
take sleeping pills to fight
insomnia and pep pills the
following morning to wake
them up, I'd like to give you
a tip.
ALTHOUGH / AM NOT in
favor of pep pills, on general
principles, there is a place
for sleeping pills. If your
doctor prescribes them, you
should not hesitate to take
them.
However, as I usually do, I
put out this warning: Never
take them on your own.
Never bootleg them at some
drugstore after your doctor
has advised you to stop TAX
ing them. That's when peo-
pie may get into the perni-
cious habit Of depending
upon them night after night
for months and years.
1t is then that the cane
becomes the crutch.
But let's suppose that
there is a specific indica-
ton for sleep medicine. Your
doctor has prescribed some
capsules and tells you to
take one before bedtime a
few times a week until you
are over the illness emer-
gency. 1t is not unlikely that
your husband Cor wife) may
also be taking such medi-
cine.
Here Is the tip. To play
safe, husband and wife
should never take such med
icine the same night.
Emergencies may occur at
night. At least one of you
should be wakeful enough to
respond. Let me give you
some examples, as told to
me by patients.
"If a neighbor hadn't come
by late at night we might
have burned to death. A
faulty electric plug had
started a fire. We were both
SO deep in sleep we didn't
realize anything had gone
wrong"
Another: 1--WE learned later
that our youngster was hav-
ing convulsions most of the
night. We slept right through
it ALL"
Another: II missed an i'm
portant long distance call

us took sleeping tablets the
night before"

that time and managed to
get out of kissing them
because I was afraid I would

you tell me how to learn
how to kiss without showing
my ignorance?

Yours Is a case Of mex
perience-not ignorance: and
it's nothing to be ashamed
Of. In a demonstration of
sincere affection, a kiss is as
natural as breathing. When

1 Inc visiting warsaw Phil
harmonic, making its first
American tour. stopped off al
Constitution Hall yesterday
afternoon. offering a program
superbly designed to reveal its
strengths-and weaknesses.
BY and large, the orchestra
Is in the European tradition,
with the stress on detail and
nuance rather than sheer SEN
suous sound. The conductor,
Witold Rowicki. keeps his play
erS within a restricted dynamic
range at a far lower level than
those favored by most Ameri-
can orchestras and concen-
trates on shaping and molding
very much like a sculptor put
ting the final touches on a
statue.
The Warsaw Philharmonic
also Is recognizably East rath-
er than West European in mu-
sical orientation, as was plain
from the strange. pinched
shawm-like oboe sound ia
vored in Russia and what
might be termed q Slavic ap-
proach to Brahms.
The concert opened with the
Bartok Music for Strings, Per-
cussion and Celesta, one of the
indubitable masterworks of the
century and a fierce challenge
for any orchestra. I was rather
disappointed that Mr.. Rowicki
did not choose to arrange his
players in the pattern specified
by Bartok. and with the con-
sequent disappearance of many
OF the startling antiphonal ef-
fects the composer envisioned
but aside from this. it must be
said that the reading was an
accurate and eloquent one.
The Bartok was followed b,
a rare piece. the Szymanowsk
first violin concerto, in which
the not inconsiderable art O.

That she did not arouse NOR,

probably due to the Szmanow

and lacking in drive. Karo
Szymanowski is looked upon il
his own country as q neglecte,

violin concerto is just not goos
enough to win him many nev
friends in this country.

It was also excessively slow
which may perhaps account fol
the ragged entrances and gen
eral lack Of precision not at al
evident in the much more diff
ficult Bartok.
In sum. the Warsaw Phil,
harmonic sounded like q goot
orchestra with a competen
but not great conductor, some.
what less than the rare trea
for which the Hurok advance
notices have been preparing
American audiences.
