For the opera lover who
has everything, or thinks he
has, Deutsche Grammophon
now offers something vastly
different-Carl Orff's Anti
gonae.
It's so different, in fact,
that a great many opera ira
ditionalists won't recognize it
under that label. But for
those who are drawn to Greek
tragedy, the German Ian
guage and Carl Orff, this g.
record album has much going
for 1t.
There is very little singing
in the accepted sense in this
setting Of Sophocles' drama
to the text of the German
poet, Hoelderlin. Much Of it
is stark, rhythmic monotone
and melismatic chanting
reminiscent Of the Gregorian
chants.
What an Orchestra!
The total effect is that of
high drama, which unfortu-
nately also runs into some
monotony over a 21a-hour
performance. Underscoring
the grim theme is perhaps the
most unusual orchestra ever
assembled. 1t includes 10
pianos, four harps, four dou-
BILE BASES, six oboes, six
trumpets and all manner of
percussion instruments. This
can make for some very ON
nous rhythmic sounds.
Much time undoubtedly
was spent perfecting the diff

Cultural Exchange
The success of our inter-
national cultural exchange
program prompts me to sec
ond a motion made recently
in a letter to the music edi-
tor Of the New York Times
by a San Franciscan, Mr..
Claus Reinisch, who called
for the establishment Of a
national cultural exchange
program to supplement it.
Some years ago, 1t was sug-
gested that an East Coast
opera league might be estab-
lished by means of which
companies In cities such as
Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, and
Washington might exchange
productions, thus prolonging
the season for the artists and
giving larger audiences a
chance to witness their eff
forts.
A Symphonic League
It seems to me that a sim
liar symphonic league would
also have great benefits. Why
should not Washington, Bal
timore, Pittsburgh, Cincin-
natl, and Cleveland (for ex-
ample) exchange orchestras?
Overnight stands can hardly
acquaint audiences with q
symphonic organizations
characteristic personality-a
few solid weeks Of concertiz-
ing might.
The same type Of league
could be organized for cham
Der music ensembles, and
even for the first-rate indi-
vidual artists who are well
known within the confines of
their own cities dozens can
be named here in Washing
toni but who are, for one rea-
son or another, virtually UNI
known elsewhere.
Boxers to Bach
We are more than willing
to export our artistic talent,
to show the rest Of the world
that we really are not bar
barians. Why should we not
be willing to show those mil
lions within our own bound
aries who are not aware Of
1t that ours is truly a rich
and varied cultural life?
Among these millions, I
count not only those in the
provinces. Also included are
big-city provincials such as
music critics in Known who
insist that the symphony or
chestra in Yburg is third
rate" even though they have
not heard it play once In five
years. and those denizens Of
Megapolis for whom nothing
else but Megapolis exists.
Private initiative can surely
do better for the arts here

The fourth round of Senate
hearings on the communica-
tons satellite bill got off to a
fast and exhilarating start
with an impromptu appear
ance on the part Of the At
torney General, who breezed
through on his way to the air
port.
AS a witness, the Attorney
General has certain advantages
and certain privileges.
He is, to begin with, prob
ably the only testifier from the
executive branch who could get
away with saying to Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon,

annoyed tone of voice.
Voice Of Authority
He is one of the few who
can speak openly of family
fights on the New Frontier and
describe the disagreement on
public versus private owner
ship of the communications
satellite as "a tremendous
4struggle," unlike other Off
Gals who feel onor-bound to
play down any dissention.
And, Of course, he can speak
of protecting the Presidents
interests with perfect authority
and conviction. The filibuster-
ing opponents of the bill have
protested that they are pro-
tecting Mr.. Kennedy's foreign
policy rights, but they are COM
pared with the Presidents
brother, as poodles to a police
dog when it comes to looking
after the Presidents interests
in any field.
Senator Morse, who has in
sisted most vociferously on the
hearings before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
the fourth group to look into
the communications satellite,
was at a further disadvantage
in quizzing Bobby. He didn't
know he was coming.

YORKTOWN. Va, Aug. 4
(APl.-The nuclear ship Sa-

thousands of miles without re-

pier today, Stymied by a labor
dispute.
Twice within the week dis
sident crewmen have refused to
man their stations to move the
worlds first nuclear-powered

final fitting before she sets out
on her maiden voyage.
How much longer the dispute
will hold up the sailing is I'M
determined. But what is GER
tain is that her maiden voyage
to New York, Savannah, Ga,
and then to the Worlds Fair at
Seattle-will be delayed.
When she does get into the
shipyard, she will be there for
10 days.
For the men aboard the Sa-
vannah. the period of idleness
is flied by watching television.
fishing and standing about in
small groups chatting. Their
labor dispute is now under ne
COLLATION. in New York, and a
special Government fact-find-
ing panel has been appointed.
The dispute was touched off
by pay raises given the nuclear
ships engineering officers. The
20 to 80 deck officers and
unlicensed crewmen are de-
handing similar raises for
themselves.
The Gov ment panel
named yesterday is to submit
its findings within 10 days.
Negotiations between the
States Marine Lines, which OPP
crates the Savannah for the
Maritime Administration, and
the unions have been without
success in New York. The COM
