President wrung every possible ad-
vantage out of the opportunity
provided by Khrushchev's son-in-
law. He treated the Russians as
equals but not as men who scare
us. He reminded Khrushchev and
informed the Soviet people that it
was they, not the Americans, who
broke the nuclear test ban. He re-
assured them-if they need to be
assured - that no one threatens
their territory. Without being pro-
vocative he drove home his point
that the world communist move
ment seems to have a vested in
terest in creating chaos and sus-
picion.
The Berlin crisis-In his talk
with Editor Adzhubei and earlier
with Chancellor Adenauer the
President stressed that there
would be no retreat from Berlin.
He countered Soviet propaganda
with positive suggestion, that of
an international administration of
the Autobahn to protect access
rights. He assured the Russians
there would be no nuclear weapons
for West Germany. He left no
doubt that, if properly handled,
Identification of Germany might
be step towards easing, rather
than increasing, world tensions.
The press conference-Perhaps
it is because the meeting with
newsmen have been so infrequent,
that it seemed this time the cor
respondents threw all their tough
est questions at Mr.. Kennedy.
They ranged from the hot potato
revolving around the Gallup of the
reservists to an intramural hot
potato, whether women CORES
pondents should be permitted to
attend luncheons at the National
Press Club.
At times the Presidents voice
seemed strained. In answering sew
eral questions he appeared to re-
fleet nervous agitation. Yet his
answers were complete and
thoughtful. There was an absence
of humor but there was also an
absence of self-satisfaction. At
this press conference he left the
impression of a man earnestly
cropping for answers to questions
that perplex him as well as the
questioners.
But it was also the impression
of a determined thinking man.
To sum up: the President seems
less partisan and less the pro-
fessional politician than he has up
to now. In the long run that may
turn out to be the best kind of
politics.

In the relatively short period of
10 months he has become not
merely in title, but in fact, Mr..
President" to the most hardened
member of the Washington press
corps. Even the most doubtful are
inclined to say, like Professor Hig-
gins in my Fair Lady, that by
George, he's got it."
This has been such a turbulent
10 months, with so many emotion
al peaks and valleys for the Presi-
dent, that there were those cor
respondents-of whom was one
who wondered if he had lost in
terest in the job or if he had a cap
acity for development.
1t was not only the Cuban de-
bacle that raised questions. The
steam seemed to have gone out Of
his campaign for The New From
tier. A gradual disenchantment
seemed to be setting in. There
were even those who believed he
was showing signs of WEAKNESS, if
not actual boredom, with the job
he wanted so badly year ago.
The growth of a man does not
come over night. Such changes
rarely do. Nor are they the result
of the Madison Avenue image
some over-active publicity men
seek to create of a Superman in
The White House.
Whether the publicists have
learned anything during these
many months no one can say. Nor
can we be sure of those men
around the President who need a
hero" and are dismayed to dis
cover that Presidents are also
human, with the normal quota of
frailties, anNeties and doubts.
Kennedy does not emerge as
a Superman, a Hero, or an ApOI-
10 who combines the qualities of
the other two. What does seem
clear Is that he Is able, business
like, competent, flexible and re-
gaining his self-cOnfidence.
These are, of course, the stand
ard words employed by puff art
lists" and publicists. They also
happen to be an accurate and fair
description of the man in office,
Now, after 10 months, JFK begins
to act like a President.
What is the evidence on which
critical attitudes towards the
President have begun to change ?

OF Monteverdi

When Claudio Monteverdi
wrote his last opera at the
age of rs, the birth Of J. S.
Bach was still 43 years away.
Recalling this, one is awed by
the beauty of such works as
Vespro Della Beata Vergine
which the Italian master
composed in 1910.
The Vespers are available
on a two-record set by Vox
with Hans Grischkat con-
Quoting six soloists, the Swa-
bian Choral Singers and
Bach Orchestra of Stuttgart.
1t is music of indescribable
purity, rich in invention. for
ward-looking in it's solos,
duets and choral singing of
lovely, arching lines. If the
records are not stereo, it
matters not, for the sound is
good.
Also from VoX by Mont
verdi; His concert opera for
three voices, chorus and Or
chestra called II Ballo Dele
Migrate. The characters are
Amor, Venus and Pluto, the
latter sung by a bass named
Luigi Sgarro whose voice
really probes the underworld.
Another record by the
same composer, same COM
pany features the powerful
dramatic scene, II Combatti-
mento di Tancredi e Clorinda,
with some brilliant singing
by mezzo Claudi Carbi as the
narrator. There also are two
delightful madrigals.

Flying Dutchmon

According to legend, the
Flying Dutchman is sup
posed to show up from his
ghostly voyages every seven
years. But here comes Wag-
ner's operate hero on rec
ords for the second time this
year. This time it is the RCA
Victor label with Antal Do
rati, the former Minneapolis
Symphony conductor, at the
helm.
Succinctly said, Victor'S
offering is at least the equal
of Angels earlier release. Do
rati works with a formidable
male cast including baritone
George London as the Dutch
man, bass Giorgio Tozzi as
Daland, tenor Karl Liebl as
Erik and Richard Lewis as
the Steersman. Soprano
Leonie Rysanek is Senta and
mezzo-soprano Rosalind Elias
sings Mary.
All the male singers are
superb, London and Tozzi
teaming expertly in their
duets. Liebl's Bjoerling like
tenor is an unexpected de-
light. Miss Rysanek is an &C
ceptable Santa, Miss Elias
splendid in the nurses role.
London is a darker-hued
Dutchman than Fischer
Dieskau for Angel, but the
latter is always great to- hear.
The RCA Victor version has

Nero Claudius Caesar Dru-

from 81 to So AID. He came
to the imperial purple as a
youth of II after his mother.
Agrippina the Younger, had
poisoned his stepfather, the
Emperor Claudius.
He was vain about his

a Tyre. or riding in military
exercises in the Circus
Maximus.
The great fire occurred
during his reign, and some
of his contemporaries be-
lieved he arranged it to clear
the ground for a more mag

of the Temple of Vesta and
the provision market, Macel-

coins.

PHILATELIC NEWS
Plate Number Invert
Error Isn't Scarce
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

Something new in invertS,
an upside down plate num-
Der, turned up when the A.
cent Workmen'S Compensa-
ton Law stamp went on sale
here last Tuesday.
It was an error-the num-
Der wasn't meant to be up
side-doWn - but hardly a
scarce one. Exactly half of
all available plate numbers
are inverted in relation to the
nearest stamp. This is true
of all four plates used in the
printing, Nos. 27024, 27025,
27026 and 27027.
Com m e m rative size
stamps are printed from 200
subject plates arranged in
four panes of so each which
are cut apart for post office
sale.
In the usual horizontal
stamp the four plate num-
bers, one for each pane. are
placed in the right and left
margins adjacent to the top
and bottom stamps and with
the base of the numerals to-
ward the stamps. With YER
teal stamps the plate posi-
tions are shifted so that the
relative position of the num-
bers and stamps remains the
same.
In the rush of preparing
the four plates for the verti-
cal Workmen's Compensation
stamp, the numbers we're ap-
piled as if the stamps were
horizontal. AS a result, the
numbers on the two lower
panes are inverted in rela-
ton to the adjacent stamps.
The numbers on the upper
panes are not.
Since there are 2 million
plate numbers in the usual
print order of 100 million
stamps, there should be a
million inverted numbers
available, and another million
which are not inverted.
Presumably this would rep
resent about $4,000 plate
numbers of each of the four
positions for each of the
four plates. That should be
enough to take care of even
an unusual philatelic de-
mand.
