 Tn answer to another question, Wilson said the Highways Division was hampered somewhat by Per- sonnel Division policies which were s'idealistic instead of real- istic."
 'It resulted in confusion and it caused some highways people to leave. The Personnel Division placed qualifications too high and salaries too low. The Highways Division is still short 146 people in engineering and the sub- professional staff"
 Wilson told Sen. John Coghill that rentals charged by the Equip- ment Division during fiscal 1861 were found to be too low to pro- vide an adequate reserve for equipment replacement.
 "As result" Wilson said. "when we went to. purchase new equipment, we found we did not have $800,000 we had planned on having"
 He said the rentals have been boosted.
 Coghill also asked Nichols who had authorized five highway maintenance districts when the legislature, in 1860, had specified that only three districts were to be established. Nichols said he did not know.
 Sen. Howard Bradshaw asked Wilson:
 ssDo you deny there is a need for Ia s4 million supplemental appro- priation
 Deny is a pretty strong word, , Wilson replied. Based on my computations on available data, we only need s2.246, ,893."

|.TFK Tells Nikita He Wants Progress
 On Disarmament

WASHINGTON tR u President Kennedy told Soviet Premier Khrushchev Tuesday the purpose of the great powers now in ap- preaching negotiations at Geneva must be to avoid sterile ex- changes of propaganda" and make real progress toward dis armament.
 Kennedy welcomed Khrush- chev's decision to send Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to meet with US. and British foreign ministers at Geneva in advance of the March IA disarmament con- ference. The President suggested March F = next Monday as the starting date for three-power talks.
 Kennedy, meanwhile, arranged to meet with Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and other diplomatic, military and atomic advisers to talk about US. disarmament policy. Rusk is expected to leave Washington Saturday for Geneva.
 Kennedy's message to Khrush- chev replying to a lengthy note from the Soviet leader which was delivered here Sunday, was very brief.
 Khrushchev, disappointed in his campaign to press Kennedy and other Western and neutralist leaders into a summit meeting at Geneva, had reluctantly agreed, in his message, to send Gromyko to meet with Rusk and British Foreign Secretary Lord Home The Soviet chief also used the note to denounce Kennedy's de- cision last week to resume nuclear weapons testing in the atlno- sphere in late April. He charac- terized as atomic blackmaiI the Presidents offer to cancel the test series if Russia would agree to test-ban treaty with an inter. national inspection system ac iceptable to the West.

music was the work of a con-
temporary composer.
| Mario CaStelnuovo-Te Tedesco
an Italian-American composer
who has written some fine mu-
sic for Segovia before, was the
hero of the occasion.
Segovia played five lovely
movements from the Castelnu-
ovo-Tedesco "Plaetro and l." a
set of % pieces for narrator
and guitar built around texts
by the Latin n-American poet,
Juan Ramon Jiminez.
I found these instrumental
selections highly imaginative,
automatically shaped for the
guitar, and despite the conserv-
ative nature of Castelnuovo-
Tedesco's idiom, completely sat-
isfying-especially in Segovia's S
sympathetic reading. They were
certainly interesting enough to
whet my appetite for the re-
mainder of the work.
The rest of the evening was

gallery at Phillips with one of
the most appreciative and con-
Siderate audiences Of the sea-
son. An American-born and
trained concert pianist now
resident in Europe, Mrs. Pleas
ants has devoted herself to the
harpsichord exclusively in re-
cent years. This was her first
Washington appearance. but let
us hope it is not her last, for
her like is hard to find even in
these days of Superbly trained
and muSically knowledgeable
performers.
Her program had taste as
well as point, consisting of two
major works by nearly exact
contemporaries who labored
fruitfully in the first half of
the 18th Century. The Ger
man, Bach, and the French
man, Rameau, were both mas
terful theoreticians as well as
great composers; there they had
much in common, but stylist-
ically in their compositions they
were different as night and day,
or man and man, while sharing
the conventions of their time.
That is one point made by
the program. Bach working in
the French manner is still the
glorious German contrapuntist
of pre- classical music. Given
all the ornamentation and the
formal confines, the content,
ineffably logical, is as the sig
nature implies. In her playing
Mrs. Peasants made this clear.
The Rameau suite in her
performance had about it the
inspiriting force which Sug-
gested the beautiful and diff
ficulty simplicity which only a
master craftsman fully engaged
can produce. Impeccably under
her hands the eight movements
of the suite grew and blossomed
into an overwhelming impress
sion of the triumphant con-
clusion of the theme an
nounced in the gavotte, worked
and re-worked in various
guiSeS.
The audience would not let
her go. though it seemed unfair
to demand more after the
many splendors of the Rameau.
AS a dividend they received a
slow movement from a concerto
by Benedetto Marcello, ar
ranged for harpsichord by j. S.
Bach. 1t was anti-climax, as

NEW YORK, April 9 (AP).-
A once-in-a-lifetime cast of
stars paid apt tribute last night
to Broadway's beloved bard, the
late Oscar HammerStein II.
He was a gentle man with
an iron hand" one performer
recalled of his professional
style. And that's how the COM
pany saluted him. With warm
affection that avoided sticky
sentimentality.
The capacity crowd, which
had paid up to $50 per ticket,
sat spellbound by the unfor-
gettable two-hour display on
the stage of the 46th Street
Theater.
Among the players were
many associated with the Ham
merstein career in one way or
another: Helen Hayes, Dorothy
Stickney. Mary Martin. Elaine
Stritch, Celeste Holm, Barbara
Cook, Allyn McLerie among the
ladies; Howard Lindsay, Dennis
King, Alfred Drake, George
Gaynes, John Raitt, Leon Bibb
among the men.
The words they recited were

Chamber music of unusually
high quality marked last nights
National Gallery program. The
performing artists were the
members of the LaSalle string
quartet, resident at the Gin
cinnati College Conservatory
since 1858.
This group has been playing
as a quartet since 1916, when
the men were students at the
Juilliard School of Music. After
they graduated in 1949. they
spent four years as quartet-in-
residence at Colorado College
and have toured widely.
Their performance Of the
taxing fifth quartet of Bartok
was admirable in every way, as
was their earlier reading of the
Ravel quartet. To these works
the group brought accuracy CT
detail, perfection of intonation
and a habit of ensemble diff
cult to match.
On the other hand, the Haydn
quartet which opened the pro-
gram lacked the open, joyous
quality I am accustomed to
hear. The tone was pallid

spective and contrived. No
where was the elan. the sturdy

it is no fun to play quartets
