Brennan Sees Need
ToCurb State Powers

Supreme Court Justice Bren-
nan foresees an increasing need
for the high court to curb the
power Of the States, particularly
in criminal cases.
In a speech reprinted from
his James Madison Lecture at
the New York University Law
Center. justice Brennan de-
clared:
Far too many cases come
from the States to the Supreme
Court presenting dismal pic
lures Of official lawlessness, OF
illegal searches and seizures,
illegal detentions attended by
prolonged interrogation and
coerced admissions Of guilt, OF
the denial Of counsel and OF
downright brutality"
The tenor Of his speech In
dicated his obvious regret that
the Supreme Court has not
moved further and faster in
applying the guarantees Of the
Bill of Rights to cases reaching
the Supreme Court from State
courts.
Judicial restraint which de-
fers too much to the sovereign
powers Of the States and re-
serves judicial intervention fol

will not serve to enhance Madi.

rights Of mankind secured un-
der this Constitution" Justice
Brennan said.
Declaring that the high court
has compelling reasons" to
apply to the States more of
the specifics of the Bill of
Rights, Justice Brennan pre-
dicted that present and future
crises will create more and
more collisions between the
citizen and his government.
THE need for vigilance to
prevent government from
whiting away the rights Of
the individual was never
greater" he said. To-day as
rarely before, case after case
comes to the court which finds
the individual battling to vim
dicate q claim under the Bill
of Rights against the powers
of government, Federal and
state"
He contended that among
the important specifics of the
Bill of Rights which are still
not fully applied to the States
are those dealing with the ad-
ministration Of criminal jus
tice.
The speech was reprinted
by the Center for the Study Of
Democratic Institutions, which
was founded by the Fund for

movements, unpretentiouS and
mildly humorous a Ia Prokofieff
or Shostakovich. Mr.. Braunlich
was not seeking to scale heights,
quite evidently; he did succeed
in providing the audience with
a bit of amusement, which also
is a worthwhile goal.
The remainder of the printed
program was devoted to a read
ing of the Mozart C major con-
certo. If it sounded curiously
familiar to many, that is be-
cause Mozart later arranged
the same piece as a flute con-
certo, transpoSing it up to D
major, and in that form it is
fairly well known.
The tiny supporting orches-
ira was just right under the
oboe, and it would have been
a fine reading indeed had not
the tempos been a bit on the
pedestrian side. The last move
ment especially suffered from
this, and there were a few mo-
ments when it seemed that the
whole piece was about to come
apart at the seams for lack of
momentum.
AS encore, Mr.. Hefner offered
an arrangement for oboe and
strings of Ravel's piece en-
Forme de Habanera," originally
written as a wordless vocalise
for voice ACCOMPANIED by piano.

Last nights enjoyable con-

Mr.. Hefner, a student of the

piece, easy to take but with nc

1t sounded to my ears for all

Brunetti or half a dozen other
competent composers of the

but uninspired.
With the five Ralph Vaughan
Williams settings of poems by
William Blake, magnificently
sung by John Langstaff, there
was a marked change for the
better. Surely these lovely songs
among the great English COM

Two pSychiatrists passed
each other on the street and
one said: Hello" The other
waved his hand and said to
himself: Wonder what he
meant by that?" This little
joke had deep implications.
LATELY PEOPLE seem to
be reading too much into
each others actions. Accord
ing to one member of a
mental health committee,
normal people cannot bear
the stresses Of high position.
The implication seems to be
that to become a leader, or
top administrator, one Of the
first requirements is q psy-
chopathic makeup.
Isn't that carrying 1t a
bit too far? I have also heard
it said that the good actor
is the one who is over
burdened with complexes and
is trying to run away from
himself by playacting; sim
ilarly, that an author takes
out his hostilitieS by Great
ing hateful characters in his
novels and putting them
through their PAGES.
I think it's time we stopped
trying to find a reason for
everything one thinks, says
or does. For me, there is
enough reason for peoples
actions in this truth: That
all Of US want to live as
long as we can, be happy,
satisfy our egos, and perhaps
leave some tiny imprint on
the world to give us good
reason for having been born.
Like body temperature,
there is no exact normal be-
havior. My rormal tempera-
ture may be about 98.6 de-
grees Fahrenheit; yours may
be SO or SO or somewhere
else in between.
Surely, a man who gets
close to the top in any field
Of endeavor has more drive
than his neighbor who is
satisfied to live the existence
Of q COW. But why label him
q psyche. >ath because he is
q high normal?"
Let's live and let live; and
stop trying to find reasons
where none are needed.

For example, pain between
the shoulders is not un-
usual. A common cause is
gall bladder trouble. Like

(abnormally large opening

cause chest pain. So can a
duodenal or gastric ulcer, or

Your pain has persisted

would be better off to go

At lunch recently, a busi-

motet, "In ecclesiis" are among
the most commanding pima
cles of their genre ever attained.
1t was evident that the choral
society had put a good deal
of work into the program.
Most of the singers had a
good grasp of their notes, al
though in a group of 40 singers
two or three hesitant voices
did manage to lessen the others
valiant efforts measurably.
But this was only an oc-
sional problem. More funda-
mental was a flaccid consist
ency resulting from insufficient
attention to rhythm. While
many choirs get by with vague
masses of sound in music of
other styles, rhythmic precision
is too important an ingredient
in this late renaissance and
early baroque music. I particu-
larly missed a choice syncopated
figure in the Gibbons, which
the altos didn't seem to think
nearly as important as it is.
Gabrien's zestful rhythms -
almost dance rhythms - came
off with the same rather tired
spirit.
Perhaps the society over
stepped its limitations with the
Gabriel motet. 1t is difficult.
and too many voices went awry.
Saddest Of all, however, was
the vain attempt of a hesitant
electronic organ to reproduce
the sounds which the composer
conceived for the two organs
at st. Marks in Venice, plus
a double brass choir. 1t was
rather like seeing Cinerama on

pieces are now considered real
clues to the vivid images with
which Schumann associated
much ofhis music rather than
as verbal sentimentalities de-
signed to attract the Bieder-
meier buyer. I think these
titles properly mean q great
deal to Mr.. Crowder. In
Herberge-The Wayside Inn
the picture Of the wanderer
heavily tramping along the
road, then finding rest at a
quiet inn was as plain to the
eye as If one had been looking
at one Of the sentimentally
realistic paintings of Schu-
mann's time.
Beyond that, Mr.. Crowder
has a real sense of the counter
point so often latent in Schu-
mann's small pieces, a clear
feeling for the Subtlety and
variety of the outwardly ele-
mentary forms, and a know
ledge of where-and where not
to put accents.
But poetic feeling can go to
fat, and the performance of the
Mozart Sonata K. 333 was most
peculiar. The idea apparently
was to attempt to recreate the
feeling Of an eighteenth
century piano, and considering
the exceptional difficulties Of
making Mozart's piano music
acceptable in terms of the mod
ern instrument, the idea is
surely not a bad one. But along
with this went a concept Of
free, almost eccentric, rubato
demonstrably inconSonant with
Mozart and his times. The ap-
proach to problems of phraSing
was equally inauthentic, and
in the second movement Mr..
Crowder violated a fundamen-
tai precept about the meaning
of the term "andante" in Mo-
zart's time.
The performance, while mis-
guided, was nevertheless in
tensley musical. 1t is a great
pity for Mr.. Crowther to waste
his gifts so profligately. and it
would be relatively simple for
him to find out the basic facts
about performance in Mozart'S
time.
The recital began with a
group of poSt-Impressionist
preludes by the Swiss composer
Frank Martin. Martin has writ
ten stronger and more inter-
esting music than this, but the
performances seemed ideal
the last prelude, which, struck
me as a little slow, possibly exs
cepted.

inside and destroy ourselves
first. What in the name Of
decency can be done about
it?
