man band played it with a
good deal less spirit than did
the old-timers, and with in
finitely more self-conscious re-
spect.
The piano solo work of Leon
Pommers also was removed
from the fire e-w h e elm g
Gershwin approach. But it
was valid nonetheless, subtly
colored and intensely musical.
Carl Maria Won Weber's duo
concertante in E-flat was long
haired with a vengeance. Mr..
Goodman phrased it elegantly
and maintained-except in the
topmost register-a scrump-
tious tone. The Weber was ap-
plauded respectfully by an au-
dience eager to get back to
fundamentals.
Among the fundamentals,
other than those already men,
toned, were some show-steal-
ing vocalS by Sandy Stewart.
Miss Stewards husky voice
packs quite a wallop in the
Red Hot Mama tradition in
such numbers as Some of
These Days." and when You're
Smilin'," and yet retains a re-
markable control over nuances
in line and in diction.
The intense understatement
that began After You've

tivity that marked 1.-The Thrill

exciting moments of a memo
rable evening.
The band had its moments
of ragged ensemble, but all the

Pennsy-CentroI Merger
To Stir Sharp Debate

Latest published figures,
covering the first II months OF
1861, showed the Central nearly
SIG million and the Pennsy S2.7
million in the red, although the
PennSy may have finished the
year in the black.
Other Opposition Possible
Aside from the brotherhoods,
opposition to the proposed
union was possible from the
Justice Department, concerned
with monopoly questions, from
shippers and perhaps from
competing railroads.
John E. Kusik, Chesapeake
& Ohio senior vice president,
speaking in the absence of
Walter j. Tuohy, president,
said the merger announcement
was an interesting develop
ment," and one which could
mean that our own applica-
ton for control of Baltimore
g. Ohio Railroad will be ex-
pedited."
Milton G. McInnes, presi-
dent of the Erie-LackaWanna
Railroad, commented: I'VE

VIENTIANE, Laos, Jan. 13
(AP). - The Royal Laotian
Government today dimmed
prospects of success for the
Geneva conference of rival
Laotion princes, declaring it
will never give up two key caoi-
net posts in proposed coali-
ton government of national
unity.
On the eve of Premier Prince
Boun Gums departure for
Geneva, a cabinet spokesman
said the royal government will
never yield" the defense and
interior ministry posts to neu-
tralist Prince Souv ann a
Phouma'S faction. 1t fears they
would soon fall under the in
fluence of Souvanna's half
brother and pro-Communist
ally, Prince Souphanouvong
leader of the Pathet Lao.
ReSistS PresSureS
Boun Gum has resisted
strong pressureS from the
United States and its Western
Allies to get together with the
two other princes. The dispute
over cabinet assignments broke
up the carefully prepared
Vientiane summit conference
last month.
The United States Subse-

aid to Laos. Without explana-

Mother Hangs Herself,
: Children Smothered

A 35-year-old housewife and
her two small daughters were
found dead in a Southeast
Washington home early today.
Detectives said the woman ap-
parently hanged herself after

career blazed like a meteor for
five bright years, was killed
early today on the way home
from a baby shower.
His station wagon skidded
across wet pavement a half
block from the Beverly Hilton

power pole.
The impact hurled the AZ
year-old actor halfway out
of the bashed-in car. The coro-
ner's office, which identified
him on arrival, said he suf-
fered severe head injuries.
His wife of nine years, Ac-
treSS Edie Adams, was driving
another car ahead of him but
went on to their Bel Air man
sion, unaware that her huS-
band had been in an accident.
She learned afterward, from
their hosts for the evening,
Director Billy Wilder and his
wife. The Wilders had enter
tanned a score of FINLAND

to have narrowed differences
between the two countries ovel
U. N. issues.
The talks end this afternoon
with a luncheon given by Sec
retary of State Rusk. Many
of the problems discussed re-
late to issues that will arise
in the U. N. General Assem-
bly,, which resumes its sessions
next week.
In discussions yesterday, in
formantS said, the United
States and British representa-
tiVes found common agreement
on the proposition, strongly
favored by the United States
that U. N. Secretary Genera,
U Thant should have a larger
staff for dealing with future
crises.
The Congo crisis was cited
as an example of an emergency
into which the United Nations
had to move without adequate
time for preparation.
Assembly Size Cited
In general, officials said
Britain has been less enthusi-
aStic than the United States
about expanding the powers
and authority of the United
Nations on the ground thai
the usefulness of the organi-
zation is limited in some de.
gree by the huge increase in its

slide swept nine miles down a
canyon and into the country
side. Most in Ranrahirca were
IN their homes, just finishing
dinner. Minutes later, all but
so of Ranrahirca's nearly 500
residents were dead.

when we heard a big noise, 1"
said Manuel Melgarejo, whose
hut on a hill near Ranrahirca
was out of the avalanche's
path.

minutes later, we saw what had

hung over the valley"
Later Manuel returned. Ran

Il could not believe it," he
said. Not until dawn did see
the awful destruction. There
was no one injured. All in the
path were killed and buried.

bertiS S. Harrison, jr., today

"a renaissance of education ir

of office as the 64th Governor

In an inaugural address
which placed much stress or
changing needs in changing
times, the 55-year-old chief
executive declared:
Il consider education the
most important, for it is here
that the purpose of our people
can become one with that OF

we have been most prone to
accept and to excuse our limita-
tions. Here our minds have

Il would like to see a renaiS-
sance of education in Virginia

which the minds of our people
may grow in vision as the op-

reference to the public schoo
integration issue that confront.
ed his predecessor, j. Lindsay
Almond, jr., during the last
four years.
/ Backs States Rights
The nearest possible refer
ence to his views in this field
were these words:
THE principle of individual
liberty could be applied in one
fashion on the old frontier; its
applications necessarily are dit
terent on the new. 1, myself
am dedicated, heart and soul
to the concept of States rights,
1 pledge that every ounce OF
my energy will be directed
toward preserving Virginia's
powers, as a sovereign state
from continued attrition.
Yet, I would serve VOL
poorly if I did not acknowledge
candldly and realistically, thai
IN their application, historic
principles of States fights car
not always be trimmed to fiji
specific problems of our owr
day. The powers delegated tc
the central government by the
Constitution have to be exer.
clSed now in ways that were
neither necessary nor proper
then.
Lauds Old Principles
! Il pray that Virginia will al.
ways stand on the old prin.
clpleS; but I would hope to see
us avoid the folly of seeking
always to apply them in the
old ways"

Clash Brings
New Edict

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo,
Jan. l3 (AP). - The Central
CongoleSe Government today
ordered the immediate arrest
of Lumumbist leader Antoine
Gizenga in Stanleyville.
After a tense session, the
cabinet agreed to give Stanley
vile army commander Gen.
Victor Lundula a free hand to
take all necessary measures to
prevent further defiance from
the one-tlme rebel leader.
The government agreed to
seek United Nations assistance
in preventing MI. Gizenga from
escaping into the bush. if this
is found to be necessary.
New Clash Erupts
Government sources said the
cabinets decision was triggered
by a new military clash in
Stanleyville this morning, in
which Mr.. Gizenga tried to Or
der the company of soldiers re-
naming loyal to him to arrest
Gen. Lundula.
Lundula's superior forces
protected their chief, the sour
ces said, but did not press their
advantage at that time because
the government had not given
authorization to take the dras-
tic step of arresting Mr.. Gizen-
ga, who still holds rank as a
deputy prime minister in the
Leopoldville regime.
Gen. Lundula has taken four
of Mr.. Gizenga's aides into GUS
today, but has hesitated to
move against the Lumumbist
leader himself because legally
Gizenga is protected by the
constitutional immunity from
arrest accorded to all members
of parliament.
Town on Alert
There was no immediate word
here as to how soon Gen. Lun-
dula might act on the govern
ment'S decision, but the town
OF Stanleyville has been in con-
slant military alert for several
days now, and a showdown
could come today.
Mr. Gizenga is reported to
have asked U. N. protection
this morning against the forces
Of Gen. Lundula.
U. N. headquarters, however
claimed to have no knowledge
of such request. It seems Ger.
tain the U. N. will give full CO.
operation to the central govern
ment and Parliament in their
bid to deal with Mr.. Cizenga
who once claimed to be Patrice
Lumumba'S rightful successor
and won Communist support.
The cabinets action this
morning followed prolonged at
tempts by individual ministers
and Parliament to bring Mr..
Gizenga back to Leopoldville
peaceably.
