Members of the National
Symphony orchestra, casually
dressed in sport shirts and
sweaters, looked relaxed on the
stage of Constitution Hall yes
terday, but for once the con-
ductor-or should we say con-
ductors-were a bit nervous.
It was that time Of the year
when DR.. Howard Mitchell
steps down from his podium
and lends his 94-piece orches-
ira over to five student con-
ductorS - none of whom has
ever before led a large SYM
phony orchestra.
The young conductors were
participants in the fifth annual
National Symphony Workshop
the final testing ground for
outstanding area musicians.
Six Composers
Six student composers heard
their works performed for the
first time during the two-day
session. and eight instrumental
Soloists and five conductors
performed.
For the conductors whose
practices previously consisted
of confidently leading a long
play record, the step before a
living orchestra under the
lights Of Constitution Hall may
be just short of a traumatic
experience. They know that
every lead for tempo, for dy-
namics. for phrasing will be
followed, and that the orches-
ira is to resist the impulse to
correct any mistake the con-
ductor may make.
Explains Lloyd Geisler, as
sociate conductor Of the orches-
ira and instructor Of the con-
Quoting course at Catholic
University.
These young conductors
have no idea what to expect
when they give that firs t
downbeat. They aren't sure if
the sound will be as they i'm
agine it, if it will come in on
time, be too slow, or too fast

which is now being considered
by the Roosevelt Memorial
Commission. ,.<
They decided it would be a
fitting memorial to Mr.. RooSe-
velt after visiting the cottage
that stands on a hilltop above
the Hudson River near the fam
lily home in Hyde Park two
weeks ago. They denied pre-
vious reports that the cottage
itself would be moved to Wash
ington.
Museum Atmosphere
The plans probably would
call for the cottage to house a
museum containing a continu-
ing and varying exhibit Of
Roosevelt letters. papers and
other memorabilia, Mr.. Water
said.
The fieldstone cottage, now
privately owned, was designed
by the late President along
Dutch architectural lines in the
1930s. 1t has rooms well suited
for exhibits, Mr.. Waters con-
tinued.
The second part Of the de-
partment's plan is to rename
the 27-acre West Potomac Park

Park"
Mr.. Waters and Mr.. Chris
tiansen discussed their ideas
last Friday with Francis Biddle,

chairman of the Roosevelt Me-
mortal Commission.
Mr.. Biddle said the commis-
sion would take a look at the
proposal when it next meets
again, probably next fall. Mr.
Biddle would not comment on
what he thought of the alter
nate plan.
Living" Memorial
The Recreation Department
started working on its alter
nate plan about a month ago
partly out of concern with
steady encroachment on recre-
alton facilities in the District
by building. road and monu-
ment projects.
At this time, Mr.. Waters
said the department would like
to devise a living memorial
to Mr.. Roosevelt that woulc
serve as a monument to him
At the same time it would al.
low use of land set aside fol
his memorial by Congress to be
used by the public as a recre-
alton area.
The 27-acre memorial site
which lies between the TidaI
Basin and the Potomac River
is dotted with temporary Gov
ernment buildings. These are
slated for removal under me-
mortal legislation, however.
President Roosevelt's son
James, the Democratic Repre-
sentative from California, il
reported to be impressed with
the Recreation Department

A total Of 4,257,850 live
births were registered in the
United States In 1860, ac-
cording to final figures re-
leased by the United States
Public Health Service. The

The figure is about 1000

Over the last four years, to-

increased and decreased, but
the number Of live births per
1000 has decreased slightly
ly each year, from ESQ in
1857 to 23.7 in 1860.
Although nearly 100000

Research Revolution

new product percentages is the
extent of the American Re
search Revolution" now going
on and brilliantly analyzed in
a recent book bearing this title
by Leonard Silk, one of Nc
Graw-Hill's own chief econo-
mists and editors. It is in "Sys-
tematized innovation" Mr..
Silk emphasizes that we will
find our new growth force"
capable Of producing the most
powerful thrust we have ever
known" 1t is through regular
research and development year
after year that we can spur
our growth to, say, double the
present 212 per cent annual
rate so We can absorb our un-
employed and new workers.
Research in Infancy
What we can read in these
figures is the development of
an unparalleled research in
duStry which even at sos bill
lion a year is an infant with
a fabulous future. Again to
quote Mr.. Silk. Research feeds
upon itself; discovery breeds
discovery; innovation breeds
innovation" - and while, once
said, this may seem obvious,
not ever has the process been
going on as rapidly as now.
What we can predict with
out question is an acceleration
OF the outpouring Of new prod
uctS from now on, for the
spending on research in the
late 1950s is just about to pay
off. A vital aspect here is that
it takes several years before
a research idea can be trans
lated into a product - more
than one-third of the firms
reporting to McGraw-Hill said
it takes four to five years for
a research expenditure to pay
of, IL per cent said it took
six years or more. The intensi-
fled rise in research spending
today will be paying off in a
sharp Step-up in new products
tomorrow and the day after
tomorrow.

In only 30 months from now,
IA cents of every 81 you will
spend for products manufac-
tured by United States COM
panies will be for things not
being made today.
Even more startling, of ev-
cry 81 of 1864 sales in
the transportation industry
(mostly aircraft), 20 cents will
represent absolutely new prod
ucts or things so changed as
to be considered new. In the
machinery industry, new prod
uctS will account for % cents
of sales, in chemicals for 20
cents of SaleS-and in manu-
featuring as a whole, the fig
ure will be IA cents, the high
est ever recorded in the many
years the McGraw-Hill De-
partment Of Economics has
been surveying industry's plans
for spending on the research
which develops new products.
This will be the greatest out
pouring of new things and
services in the entire history
of American inventions a n d
innovations.
This new products upsurge
will reflect the fact that in
dustry is spending an all-time
record of sos billion on re-
search and development in
1861 alone, up 7 per cent in one
year.
And this will pound home
the magnificent message that
we are now on the threshold
of radical changes in our ev-
eryday way of life, we are
about to spur our rate of
growth far beyond the slug
giSh pace of recent years. we
are going to pick up speed in
the crucial growth race with
the Soviet Union.
Clothing Of Paper
You can have a great deal
Of exhilerating fun guessing
what the new products might
be - for instance. clothing
made Of paper, houses built
out of plastic. TV screens COW
ering a whole wall. These
things are in the development
stage right now. AS for pro-
jecting in the loftier terms of
the space age. since the sky
literally no longer is the limit
let your imagination 60 and
you'll probably make a fine
guess.
But there's far. far more tc
this tale than this.
For what we can see in these
