By HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic

Clan Carlo Menotti's name
is synonymous with terse,
drama -drenched opera. And
Aaron Copland's? Most peo-
pie probably identify him
closest with his ballets and
folksy American music.
But here they are in some
thing each wrote only one
of - their piano concertos.
The Vanguard record is in
tereSting for another reason.
The soloist is Earl Wild, a
long time favorite with
Washington audiences.
Also of interest: COPELAND
conducts his work with the
Symphony of the Air and de-
hunks the theory that COM
posers who mount the podium
seldom do justice to their
own music. COPELAND wrote
this in his early jazz-idiom
stage. 1t is the kind of mu-
sic Wild makes sing-a la
Revel, GerShwin.
Menotti's concerto is
longer, done in the classical
Italian formal, but is just as
salty and racy as any of his
operas. 1t friskS and rollicks
in the outer fast movements,
and is as evanescent as a
moonlit night in June be-
tween the two.
Jorge Mester conducts this
one. Wild and the orchestra
are in top form; the sound
is splendid.

News Libel Bill

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept.
2 (AP).-The Legislature yes
terday approved and sent to
Gov. John Patterson for sig
nature a bill designed to make
it easier to sue out-of-State
newspapers for libel in Ala
bama courts.
The bill stemmed from a 5th
United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals ruling against a series
of libel suits filed against the
New York Times by city Of
ficials in Birmingham and
BesSemer.
The appeals court reversed
a lower court ruling on grounds
that under Alabama law the
action on which a suit is based
must be completed in Ala
bama.
Publication of the Salisbury
series was not completed until
it was printed in New York,
the court ruled. The newly
approved legislation would per-
nit suits when only part OF
the act is committed in

Cussing Goes on
Air With Swuyze

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (AP) ..
-Broadcasting sources report
ed today that pre-show tech
nical difficulties were respon-
sible for the profanity aired on
the American Broadcasting
Company's John Game eron
Swayze network news show last
night.
About midway through his
radio broadcast, Mr.. Swayze
came up with a sentence OBJ
viously not included in his
script.
Some of the stations carrying
the show cut it off, others let
it continue until the ABC net
work itself finally cut off the
broadcast.
ABC spokesman declin e d
comment on the incident.
But it was learned that in
putting the broadcast on audio
tape, technical difficulties we're
encountered which required Mr..
Swayze to start his show over
several times.
At one point, 1t was learned,
the broadcaster became exas-
perated and that was when the
profanity was recorded-inad-
vertently.
With the difficulties ironed
out finally, the show was ready
for broadcast-except that the
tape containing the profanity
hadn't been erased and got on
the air.

CONSTANTINE BROWN 4t
Why Talk of Enemy So Softly?

Commander in Chief Ken
nedy himself. Before the last
war the French and British
also neglected to indoctrinate
their forces. The result was
disastrous for the French, at
least. Their men believed
they were fighting to save
Poland. Their spirit was not
in it and they fought badly.
Not until they went down in
defeat and Gen. De Gaulle
began his national movement
from England did the new
French forces realize that
they were fighting for the
survival of France as a free
nation.
Are we going to allow our
defense forces to believe that
they may be fighting to save
Berlin for Germany? That
deduction is implied if the
full truth of the Communist
world wide conspiracy is not
brought with full force to the
attention of the men in the
Army, Navy and Air Force.
Or are there two policies in
the United States? That of
the Chief Executive, strongly
backed by the American
people, and the other by a few
influential members of Con-
gress and certain invisible
men" in the administration?
This question was asked OF
this reporter by many sub
stantial men all over Europe
who. by virtue of their posi-
tions. have wide knowledge
about our official commit
ments.
There Is an inclination on
the part Of questioners to be-
lieve that the appeasers are
still firmly in the saddle.
How else, they ask, could it
be explained that at the time
Mr.. Kennedy made his first
two statements regarding our
policy toward the Kremlin
Senator Fulbright came out
fatty urging negotiations.
Strangely enough, we are
now on the road to negoti-
ating what used to be de-
scribed as "non-negotiable. !"
It is obvious, say those who
have closely followed develop
mentS in the United States
since Mr.. Kennedy's return
from his talk with Mr.. Khru-
shchev in Vienna, that the
appeasers are winning the
first game.
