A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
For Better Understanding of Music
BY DONALD MINTZ

somewhat mysterious sub
jects into q few pages, the
results are bound to be un-
satisfactory.
First. the required simpli-
fication is likely to lead to q
certain amount of nonsense,
some Of which can be dan
gerous.
More serious Is the fact
that words mean nothing
unless the reader can link
them firmly to the sounds
they purport to describe.
without a teacher this is
difficult at best. It is impos-
sible when one goes from the
triad to the so-called Nea-
politan Sixth in q few pages,
and the examples consist ex-
clusively Of a few measures
of theoretically derived skele-
tons in both notational and
diagramatic form.
And so q fundamental
question arises: What will
the untutored reader learn
from this? And the sad an
swer is: Most probably. Moth
ing.
The third part Of the book
the part that corresponds
roughly to the historical sec
lion in most volumes of this
! types called The Practice
Of Music" 1t deals with the
role Of music in our civiliza-
ton, Music as q Practical
Craft" and finally Listening
to Music"
THE DISCUSSION Of mu.
sic In civilization offers
sound notions and even bits
Of wisdom about the social
position of musicians, the
nature Of inspiration, and
performance practice and ed
iting techniques. This last IL
a rather strange area to dis
cuss In o book Of this sort,
for its comprehension pre-
supposes q considerable de-
gree Of musical sophistica-
ton whereas the book in
general presupposes the op-
posite.
The material on Music as
Practical Craft" Is, on the
hole. unsatisfactory. Mr..
Lilienfeld tends to use unde-
fined terms with .profusion,
and there are q few histori-
cal errors which are too seri-
Gus to be overlooked.
Though Mr.. Lilienfeld Is
obviously no friend Of most
modern music. his brief re-
marks on the attitude the
listener should bring to it
are sound: Even though
only a small fraction of what
he hears will be of lasting
value like the literary pro-
ductions of his age-he will
not be wasting his time"
Mr.. Lilienfeld has made a
serious effort. but the brief
book for the more or less
serious music lover remains

Listen for In Music"

AN INTRODUCTION 10

AN INTRODUCTION TO
MUSIC by Robert Lilien-
field. Illustrated with musi-
cal Examples. l3l pp.
macmillan Co., $3.50.
With the exception Of OPP
era in Italy, art music was
until recently intended for
the edification of Q small
minority. (Those who heard
1t in church-and they were
not really very many-were
supposed to perceive 1t as q
vehicle for the words.)
Society in general was
democratized by q long and
complex series of events ex-
tending back over a consid-
cradle period: doubtless the
process is still continuing.
But despite the growth Of
public concerts in the late
18th and throug h GU t the
10th Centuries, art music re-
mained the concern Of the
few until the development of
the phonograph and the ra-
dio. The present large audi
ence came into being still
more recently; 1t Is the prod
uct of the long playing rec
ord and FIN radio.
Art music Is complicated
by definition. And because
people rightly feel that it
cannot be understood with
out prior training Of some
sort, the writing of musical
how-to books has b. c o m 9
something Of an industry.
The products. like those Of
most industries. range from
execrable to superb.
There Is no consensus
among professional musi-
clans about what these books
ought to contain. But there
Is q trend: Elementary theo-
retical considerations come
first. Then there is a his
torical section.
ROBERT LILIENFELD'S
"An Introduction to Music"
follows . recognizable de-
rivative Of this plan, but diff
fers from 1t in some impor-
tant respects. The first is the
matter of sheer bulk; Mr..
Lilienfeld's book is very small
compared to most OF its
modern competitors.
Then, he has divided the
theoretical section into two
parts, '"The Foundations of
Music" and THE Substance
of Music" The foundations"
are elementary acoustical
considerations which unfor-
tunately include the highly
doubtful-perhaps discredit-
ed notion that the overtone
series discloses the true laws
Of harmony.
The substance" consists
of m elo dy. harmony and
polyphony and rhythm. Here
we get into difficulties. When

Season on quail
is changed anew
by Legislators

JACKSON CUPID - If legis-
lators don't change their mind
again, quail season in extreme
north Mississippi apparently
will be at about the same time
as Tennessee's season.
The house voted Monday to
set the quail season at Dec. /
to Jan. 81 in five counties -
Benton, DeSoto, Marshall,
Tippah and Tunica.
The purpose is to have the
season in five counties ending
as soon as the Tennessee sea-
son closes. Residents of ex-
treme north Mississippi have
complained tn at Tennessee
hunters, when their season
closes, come south in excess
lively large numbers.
The season in other counies
will be for 20. days between
Dec. ! and Feb. 20.
The house earlier voted to
have nearly all of north Mis-
sissippi coinciding with Ten
nessee's season. Later it voted
to have tn e same season
throughout the state. Mon
days action nullified that.
The senate approved a bill
that would raise salaries of
game wardens and game war
den supervisors by $50 a
month and require the state to
provide them with firearms.

NAACP PROTESTS
HARGISI CHARGES

NEW K--NAACP officials
stated 50 local radio and televis-
ion stations in 70 states have re-
ceived written protests against
"defamatory and frequently IL
belous" statements about the
NAACP on certain of Billy James
Hargis' Christian Crusade"
programs.
1t called upon its local units in
cities where the program is
broadcast to monitor it, to de-
mand equal time to answer ''un-
truthful or misleading statements
about the NAACP," and to report
to the NAACP national office all
such programs.
In letters to station managers,
NAACP Executive Secretary Roy
Wilkins charges: "All the mater
ial in this series of scripts. which
purports to deal with 'Ameri-
cas- racial problem, is mislead-
ing and erroneous. and those por-
tionS concerned with the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People are defamatory
and frequently libelous. Hargis
accuses the NAACP of being
under Communist control and he
refers to its leaders as Com
munist.
Wilkins hoped that in the flu
ture, if such material is pre-
sented, the station will take the
action called for by both liabil-
ity and conscience. The NAACP
leader offered to furnish facmal
material demonstrating the fall
sity of Hargis' assertions.

WEAVER MAY GET
WELFARE POST

WASHINGTON - Hubert Hum
phrey, Democratic senator from
Minnesota said there is a good
chance Robert C.. Weaver will
soon become the first Negro
cabinet member, as secretary
of welfare. Republicans are pub
licly urging the appointment.
Since the present secretary of
welfare, Abraham Ribicoff, has
announced his intention to cam
paign in Connecticut for SEN

found.

BY BETTY BEALE

I'VE will have good record before we get
through" he said naming the six or seven
major bills that would be passed before
adjournment
He sung the praises of Senate Majority
Leader Mike Mansfield, who's a darned
good man and gets abused. He gets more
done through the respect and admiration
in which he is held than by any force or
power tactics. A strong President needs a
cooperate leader and he CKennedy) has
one. You can't have two front runners,
one at the White House and one at the
Senate" insisted the legislator.
Senator Humphrey also tickled his lis
teners with an account of how often some
Senator wants to be excused before the
days adjournment so he can go down the
river aboard the Sequoia. It's the Secre-
tary of the NavyS yacht but under this
administration all cabinet members seem
to use it. IF the cabinet doesn't stop en-
tertaining Senators on the Sequoia, we will
never adjourn" wound up Mr.. H. Hum
phrey

Justice Is Dooqed

The Justice Department is more dogged
with dog trouble than is apparent from
the recent somewhat bantering broadside
leveled at Attorney General Bobby Kennedy
for taking his big Labrador dog Brumus to
his office. It's a wonder his first assistant
doesn't do likewise.
Deputy Attorney General Nicholas
Katzenbach has a Great Pyrenees dog, an
animal so big that a new neighbor was
moved to remark when seeing it hurdle
their hedge with ease, "I thought for a
moment was in the hunt country"
The Katzenbachs, who live in Cleve-
land Park, have been faced with an isol-
uble problem. It's against the law in the
District to let dog roam at will, but it's
also against the law to have fence over
AZ inches high in front of your house,
though side fences can tower But the
Katzenbachs' Great PyreneeS leaps over a
42-inch fence with the ease of a gazelle
hurdling curbstone.
Mrs. Katzenbach protested her unique
need for higher fence to the District man
in charge of such things, he replied to her
amazement, But Mrs. Katzenbach, If re-
linquished my guard for a moment every
body would be wanting to put up 2O-foot
fences, whereas anybody who walks by
has right to look in"
So there you are. How do you keep a
dog in if any and all pasSersby have the
right to peek over into your front garden,
privately owned though it may be. Maybe
whose fence is considerably over AZ inches,
feel they can do nothing in the way of
foliage to obscure the view between the
iron spokes. Anyway you look at it, the
Nations Capital is goldfish bowl.

Mistaken Identity

The confusion between the two Hum
phreys started during the very first week
OF the Eisenhower administration. Right
after George Humphrey had been con-
firmed, the Senator received a phone call
from the White House. A voice said "Mr.
Secretary, we have man here from Akron,
Ohio, land he named him. and he wants
a job. What should we do for him?"
Hes a good man." replied the Demo-
cratic Senator who didn't know the man
from Adam, Of course. Give him Job"
I'VE just wanted your okay," said the
Eisenhower assistant.
We'll you've got it; he's good man."
said the liberal from Minnesota, who
couldn't help wondering what the fellow
was really like.
Adlai Stevenson, who is not known for
being an inarticulate man, was also at the
dinner but about the only word he got in
edgewise during the Senator's scintillating
sequel, was when the Democratic Whip
touched on the problems of getting certain
bills through.
why don't you have the Senate under
control?" ribbed Adlai. Imagine a man
from the United Nations talking about con-
troll" exclaimed his friend Humphrey to
the amusement of everyone including the
U. N. Ambassador.
Then he launched into list of the
Senate'S accomplishments this session.

EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Senator Humphrey
in Rare Form

Unfazed by long, grueling day of
shepherding the farm bill around the pit
falls Of the Senate floor, the indefatigable
Senate Whip Hubert Humphrey was in
such rare form at Washington dinner the
other night, he regaled the entire company
throughout the meal
He started off by saying how he is once
again being confused with George Hum
phrey, now that the former Secretary of
the Treasury is back in the news. After the
latter appeared before Senator Symington's
Stockpiling hearings, Senator Humphrey
found himself the recipient in the mail of a
huge banner headline clipped from the
front page of Dallas newspaper 1t reads:
HUMPHREY GOT So MILLION" and writ
ten across it in longhand, chuckled the
Senator, a man of modest means, was You
crook"
And there was that time back when
the George Humphreys were living here
and big bouquet of red roses were deliv-
cred to their house on Foxhall road. Mrs.
G. Humphrey called Senator H. Humphrey
and said he was sure they were meant for
his wife.
They came from Minnesota, she said,
besides, II know George didn't send them
because he was home this week end" she
toked, 80 he couldn't have done anything
wrong to neceSSitate sending me roses"

Wood roofing of cedar, cypress
and redwood are old favorites that
mellow with age and may be STAIN
ed in attractive colOrs. The life
span of shakes (large units) and
shingles (small units) can be in
creased by preservative.
Asbestos cement shingles are a
mixture of cement and asbestos
fibers pre-drilled with nail holes
for residential installation. Corro-
sion-free, they can be painted even
though shingles have permanently
impregnated color.
Slate roofing is expensive but
permanent, available in m a n y
colors and even in non-fade colors,
and may be used on flat or built
up roofs.
Clay tiles are particularly popu-
lar in Southern and Western sec
tions of the country because forms
lend themselves particularly well
to the architecture found in warm
er climates.
Asphalt, terne, asbestos, cement,
slate and clay shingles are fire
proof. Proper installation, such as
filling space for several inches
around chimney with mineral
wool, can make any shingles ter
mite-proOf.
When installing a new roof or
replacing shingles or states deal
with reputable roofing contrac-
