Until q year ago, Walker
had no plans to follow in
his fathers professional foot
steps.

His associates are members
of the Jean-Francois Paillard
Chamber Orchestra, who also
are heard in the other two
records. Two or three of the
solo harpsichord works will
be quite familiar to most of
you, for they have been
played with piano as well as
the older instrument many
times, and have become as
known to us as Beethoven or
Mozart.
Massed Instruments
Volume 3 moves into the
area of concertos for two
harpsichords. There are
three of these, with Anne
Marie Beckensteiner Joining
with Veyron-Lacroix. The
first of these Gin C minor

What a wonderful sound they
make, as they Join forces,

Henceforth in District schools, all these
things will be banned. Cheerleaders,
furthermore, must avoid 'little wiggles

ness. Along the sidelines, coaches must

lack of advice on matters of
art at the present time, but
much of it is not in the long
range public interest.
Here are some specific cases
OF short-sighted advice:
The Secretary of Interior
has been advised that the
richest Nation in the world
can't afford a summer sea-
son at the Carter Barron
Amphitheater by the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra.
At the same time, however,
the Interior Department
spends more than $50 million
a year for fish and wildlife
programs.
President Kennedy has
been advised by a former
Georgetown neighbor, an
elegant painter, that he
shouldn't save the historic
Lafayette Square buildings
and the Belasco Theater.
This neighbor apparently
doesn't know anything about
the city's need of cultural IA
cilities, or, if he does, he
couldn't care less. Repre-
sentative Widnall's bill would
provide a public body to ad-
wise the President on these
matters.
The D. C. Board Of Com
missioners has been advised
that all the District can
afford for art is $4,000 a
year in its annual budget of
S267 million which provides

Kids Us Not

Now that Mr.. Eisenhower
has given us an almost
mawkish representation Of
Mr.. Khrushchev as a great
lover of children and a very
good family man, I am con-
strained to recall that Mr..
Khrushchev' did not make
any specific exemption of
our children when he threat
ened to bury us! He simply
stated that he would bury us,
thus including all our chill
dren, which he certainly
should have excepted if he
really loves them as much as
Mr.. Eisenhower seems to
think he does.
I arm alarmed by our for
mer Presidents soft-sell and
sticky sentiments toward an
intolerable egomaniac who
boorishly slapped him around
at the summit table. If this
sort of attitude spreads, we
may ultimately be lulled into
believing that Mr.. Khru-
shchev actually possesses al
most all of the qualifications
required to be a popular
President right here in the
United States.
Then, indeed, the extreme
left would become the far
right, and shrimps would be
able to whistle!

Urges Advisory Group to Promote CAPITAL Culture

Washington's cultural life
Is marked by two strangely
contrasting attitudes: First,
by an over-glamorizing of
cultural attractions imported
from New York, Europe and
the Soviet Union. Secondly.
by a large degree of uncon-
Germ for local art efforts.
All of the World-minded
New Frontiersmen have
shown signs of an advanced
stage of this schizophrenia.
They seem to be totally I'M
aware Of the fact that Paris,
from which they import their
suits and dresses, is primarily
concerned with its own opera,
theater and art activities.
A significant bill to ad-
vance WaShington'S own cul-
tural efforts has just been
introduced by Representative
William B. Widnall. It will
be most instructive to see the
kind of treatment it gets at
the hands of the Democratic
leaders of the New Frontier.
The Widnall bill would
create a broad-based body of
local citizens, representative
of the city's own cultural
groups, to advise Federal and
District officials on ways to
advance the city's tagging
cultural life. Other United
States cities. and European
cities as well, have such ad-

$64.758.000 for highways
alone. San Francisco has an
annual budget of 100000 for
art. Baltimore, Philadelphia,
st. Louis, New York and all
other major United States
cities put Washington to
shame on this score.
National Cultural Center
officials have been advised
that the destruction of the
city's major private theaters
Schubert, Columbia, Keith's
and Capitol-simply under
scores the need for the pro-
posed Cultural Center build
ings, and, therefore, they
shouldn't do anything to pre-
vent such destruction. Actu-
ally, the destruction of these
theaters will make fund-rais-
ing for the Cultural Center
terribly difficult. The people
in Iowa, Texas, California
and the other States will ask
why they should dig down in
their pockets to provide cul-
tural facilities for the Ma
tons Capital which doesn't
make any attempt to pre-
serve the fine theaters it al
ready has.
1t should be clear to the
New Frontier, as it is already
clear to the city's cultural
groups, that the advisory
council the Widnall bill would
establish is long overdue.
