Kennedy's Miss
 Easter Egg Roll At White House
By Martha Cole

WASHINGTON tR - It looked like one big family picnic on the south lawn of the White House today.
 Twenty minutes after the gates opened at 10 a. m. for the tradi- tional Easter egg roll more than 1,500 adults and children had been admitted.
 Adults may come only if ac- companied by child under 12 years of age for the egg roll, which was started back in 1878 but was dropped for 12 years prior to 1853.
 President Kennedy missed his first egg roll in the White House. He and his family are on Easter vacation in Florida.
 But the crowds surged up to the green picket lining the drive way immediately behind the man. sion just to stand, stare and take pictures of the place where the President lives.
 There was more picture-taking than egg rolling. But one bunch of little boys had a spirited egg game going, playing that their pink, orange, blue, yellow and purple-dyed hard boiled eggs were marbles to be hit Crushed shells soon blossomed like crocus in the gree grass.

Christmas Tree
Sales Permits
Roise Question

The Districts chief licensing
official today questioned the
legality of the city giving
Christmas tree sale permits on
either private property in resi-
dental areas or on sidewalks
and parking space.
Joseph J. Ilgenfritz, head of
the Department of Licenses
and Inspections, asked for legal
advice on this question at a
meeting of the Commissioners.
Mr.. Ilgenfritz said that the
tree sale permits in residential
areas, which have been issued
in the past by police, appear
to violate the zoning regula-
tions. Mr.. Ilgenfritz said city
officials have received many
complaints from residents on
these sales.
He told the Commissioners
that permitting the tree sales
on public space would appear
to violate the city's new side
walk cafe regulations, which
specifically prohibit the display
Of merchandise on public
space.
The Commissioners referred
the questions to Corporation
Counsel Chester H. Gray.
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner smilingly asked Mr..
Gray II he thought he could
have an answer back before

partment to set lower, nom
union wages for a Potomac
interceptor sewer project in
Loudoun County.
This was vigorously denied by
Mr.. Head. Mr.. Head said he had
made no recommendation on
wages to the Labor Department.
The District government,
which is handling all contracts
for construction of the Potomac
sewer from the District line to
Dulles International Airport, is
required by Federal law to insist
that holders of District con-
tracts pay the area prevailing
wage rate determined by the
Labor Department.
The wage controversy has
arisen because the District must
build the sewer in Fairfax and
Loudoun Counties where, labor
leaders say. lower wages are
paid than in the District for
sewer construction work.
Mr.. Turner is asking that the
rates fixed on all Potomac
interceptor sewer jobs be based
on wages paid in the District.

The

Learns
About R4R
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Every doctor will tell you
that it is very important to
get patients to relax" said
Ralph Hoy.
The kind of music that
causes relaxation all depends
on the patient. Those born
abroad are very much moved
by the music of their native
land.
"a young Negro soldier in
a Veterans Administration
hospital wanted hot jazz. We
got it for him. That was the
music he liked. 1t would re-
lax him.
Musical therapy gives
them something to think
about other than themselves
it relieves them of self
pity, worry and fear"
Ralph Hoy is the founder
of Recordings for Recovery
(R4R), which is less than two
years old but is already
bringing music to thousands
in hospitals all over the
world.
He is a trim, gray haired
man in his early sixties. Mu-
sic has been a big part of his
life. His home is in Pitts
burgh, where he is in promo
ton work for the Aluminium
Co. of America.
He's a philanthropist of the
order who find opportunities
to help near at home. This
time he's got something big
on his hands and he knows
it.
He's from the North Coun-
try. For years he conducted
a summer music camp for
boys and girls on Chateau
gay Lake north. of the Adj
rondackS and near the Cana
dian border.

Angler BIDDLE DUKE,


then head of the Interna-

for tapes for hospitals in
Ca m b 20 dia, among other
places, and George Dooley,
brother of the late DR.. Thom-
as Dooley, asked for tapes
for the Dooley hospitals in
Southeast Asia.
Fortunately while all this
was going on, great libraries
of tapes-the finest method
of recording - were made
available to R4R. One was
the library of the University
of Michigan-2,000 tapes. DR..
John Dougherty of Knox
vile, Tenn, opened his great
private collection of folk mu-
sic and Mrs. Edsel Ford has
given the tapes of the Henry
Ford Square Dance collec-
ton.
Mr.. Hoy became interested
in the great city-owned hos
pital for the poor on Welfare
Island in New York.
Its a wonderful hospital, "
he said. They get loving
care. But 85 per cent do not
leave it alive"
Many are immigrants. Mr.,
Hoy himself had made tapes
in the Caribbean while trav-
cling for Alcoa. The Puerto
Ricans seemed to like them
Then he found that there
are great national music Ii
brarieS.
He got Sweden's national
collection, later Frances. He

MIR. HOY WANTED to do
something about the war so
he closed the camp and ap-
piled for a job with Alcoa'S
MeSsina IN. " plant be
cause it was doing war work.
His neighborhood public re-
lationS work was so good
that he was brought to Pitts
burgh and put in charge of
motion picture promotion.
IR4R grew out of the choir
of the Methodist church at
Oakmont, Pa, north of Pitts
burgh. One Of the singers, a
Mrs. Russell Brown, became a
shut-in with multiple sclero-
sis.
One day the HoyS brought
their portable hi-fi set (nat-
urally one of the finest) to
entertain Mrs. Brown. They
played tapes recording the
efforts of the choir and violin
numbers by Mr.. Hoy accom-
panied by his wife on piano
or organ.
Mrs. Brown had been in
bed a year. Music in the
home helped her get up and
eventually discard her cane.
She is not cured, but the dis
ease seems to be arrested.
Mr.. Brown, a retired busi-
ness executive, suggested a
non-profit corporation and
offered his services.
There is a VA hospital at
Oakmont and, like most mod
ern hospitals, 1t has equip
ment that can play tapes
and transmit the music to
the rooms and wards.
Soon Mrs. John Walton Of
Pittsburgh asked for tapes
for her brother, DR.. William
Larimer Mellon, who oper-
ates the Albert Schweitzer
Hospital in the wilds of
Haiti.
