TRADE FAIRS NOT EASY
Many Problems Beset
u. S. at New Delhi

United States first aid team
revived him.
3. There was a fire in one of
the offices near the site one
night.
4. The Americans were con-
fronted with the problem OF
trying to lift a 20-ton piece OF
steel, buried in the ground at
the railroad station. The hoist
that was lifting it broke.
5. A cobra curled up in the
back yard of the United States
exhibition offices and had to
be chased out.
Other than this, of course,
everything is fine at New Delhi,
Department Of Commerce aides
say.
In fact, they said. they were
informed. that work on the
American pavilion is wee k S
ahead Of the general fair con-
struction schedule even though
the Americans suffered a four
week delay.
That four-week delay was
caused by monsOonS.
Earlier this summer the rains
came. for days and DAYS upon
end. it seemed. Much of the
United States exhibition area
went under water. 1t took
sandbags and ground fill to
keep that pavilion from becom-
ing a lake.
The resulting sinking Of the
soil forced repairs to the pa
vilion to the amount of $4,000,
and would the department

the India biased officials wrote.
if it came to $4,000?
Water was pumped from the
area. but the pumps became
blocked. They had to be
stopped until fish could be dug
out Of the filter system.
This showed, somebody fig
ured, that the flow of water
was from a nearby river--the
site is below the river level
otherwise how did all those
fish get in the pipes?
With Indian restraint. New

gress at the site. said:
There was a stir Wednesday
when the cable of a freight
crane broke, dropping a heavy
tractor some Is feet. Despite
the drop the tractor was started
ond driven Off, apparently I'M
harmed"
The tractor is presumably
not the same machine over
which the workmen paused at
one point to perform "puja," a

Attendance is by invitation
only, and a distinguished in

any available empty seats.
The emphasis is entirely
on new music of the Amer
icas-12 concerts in 9 days.

impossible.
A Regular Feature?

Philadelphia Story

The large scale Of the
forthcoming festival brings
to mind an even more gran
diose plan which enlivened
Philadelphia's musical life
for the entire 1886 season.
This was conceived by the
Pianist Jeanne Behrend,
long time proponent Of mu-
sic of the Americas. She
dubbed it the philadelphia
Festival of Western Hemi-
sphere Music" 1t ran from
September 2, 1859, through
July IL, 1860. Miss Behrend
and her cohorts tapped every
musical resource in the City
of Brotherly Love. No less
than 126 musical events took
place, 42 of them entirely de-
voted to North and South
American music. About so
organizations participated,
ranging in skill from the
Philadelphia Orchestra to
neighborhood church choirs.
Ra dio broadcasts were
weekly events.
The ultimate effect of such
an intense concentration Of
effort on one relatively un-
familiar aspect of Western
musical thought cannot yet
be calculated. I would guess
that it might be pretty pro-
found and long-lasting.
This was a community en-
terprise in mass music edu-
cation, to my knowledge
never before attempted. 1t
seems to me to come to
grips quite directly with the
basic problem of generating
a real demand for the new
and the unfamiliar at the
grasSroots level. 1t does keep
the contemporary composer
alive II you give him a COM
mission to write music, but
how does this stimulate any
body to want to hear 1t once
it is completed?
Press-agentry is one cal
lous solution to the problem
but I think Miss Behrend'S
painstaking approach is
both more permanent and
less cynical.

er-American Music Festival
is more spectacular and ex-
citing than MrSs Behrend's,
and also more indirect and
problematical.
The festival also raises
some difficult questions
about the general nature Of
the genus.
Except in that the affair
serves as a symbol, is it
really a good idea to jam
IL concerts consisting en-
tirely of novelties into so
short a space of time?
How much can a concert
audience take by way Of un-
familiar music before 1t loses
patience and quits, either by
not coming at all, by walk
ing out. or just by refusing
to listen Sympathetically?
Would you like to be the
composer whose latest diff
cult creation gets its world
premiere after the audience
has been subjected to a solid
week Of musical lombard
ment?
In sum, Is the festival the
most effective way to cham
pion the new? Are the in
terests Of composer and au-
dience best served by a mod
ern music marathon2
