Mr.. Frost is a blunt, kindly

amusing story to come from

MIR. Frost read only the
more significant verses. One
of them increased the sense
of uneaSineSs:
Before I built a wall
I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or
walling out.
And to whom I was likely to
give offense."
The Russians present were
not really relieved until the
poet said, I've had lots Of

For the past three days
church musicians, clergy, and
interested listeners have been
making frequent pilgrimages to
st. Andrews Church In Arling-
ton for a parish-sponsored or
gan and choral workshop. The
interdenominational sympo =
stun has offered. with scarcely
time for a breather in between,
a cycle of recitals. lectures,
demonstrations, and exhibits
for the edification Of profess
sionals and amateurs alike.
Last nights Bach recital,
given by the world famous vi
ennese organist, Anton HELLER,
was surely the high point of
the entire series. And so it
should have been.
A splendid ear for color and
an articulate command of line
make Professor HELLER an ideal
guide through the busiest of
Bach's contrapuntal textures.
Each voice is clearly and nat
urally set forth with the can
dor of a Mozart air. yielding a
clarity that emphasizes, rather
than weakens the composers
rugged baroque grandeur. And
all this clarity was achieved
with none of the phrasal af-
fectations forced on some or
ganiStS by sluggish organs,
muddy acoustics, or sheer
habit.
In the case of St. Andrews
all was right for this kind OF

The Federal Reserve Board

This followed previous re-

An increase in the unemploy-

There Is every indication that

about ready to blow a bitterly
cold political wind over Ber-

America. However, although
Western European govern

The shrewd Nikita Khru-

Kennedy'S waning prestige
and popularity in Europe, is
concentrating his heavy artil-
lery on the United States,
with occasional sideswipes, at
Britain and West Germany.
According to informed d
sources. the Russian dictator
plans to direct his blasts at
those areas where the United
States has committed itself
in order to isolate America.
And in this latter aim, the
efforts Of President de Gaulle
and Chancellor Adenauer to
make Europe q third power
independent of the United
States meets with no partic-
ular objection from him.
The defensive position Of
the administration in Cuba
has lowered the prestige of
the United States, and fur
ther lessened European con-
fidence in President Ken
nedy's foreign policies. While
we are attempting to mini

The possibility Of court Of

ed yesterday by Baltimore
County Circuit Court Judge
John E. Raine, jr., during a
conference with attorneys for

The problem Of how to vouch

one invalid signature on a sheet
meant the petition circulator

given.

possibility Of his appointing
masters either to check the
signatures or hear testimony
on their validity, according to

Radio astronomers use huge
