DEAR ABBY: The boy be-
hind me in freshman Eng
lish brings a knitting bag to
school and knits in class! He
appears to be normal in ev-
cry respect, but how can this
be? At first everyone giggled
and made remarks, but now
nobody pays any attention to
1t. He is very good-looking,
clean-cut and polite, but a
little on the effeminate side.
I would really like to get to
know him better but my dorm
sisters tell me there must be
something wrong with him.
Can a boy be normal and
knit in public?
ON THE LEVEL.
He certainly can. And any
male who knits in public is
obviously masculine enough
to defend himself.

DEAR ABBY: I think I am
psychic. My husband Is in
the Navy and stands guard
duty now and then. When he
has guard duty, he has to
sleep at the barracks. Some
thing told me the last time
he said he had guard duty
that he really didn't and that
he went out with another
woman instead. I did some
checking and found out he

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
Is meant by an EEG?-Mr. Y.
THE EXAMINER attaches
a number of electrodes to
the scalp of the patient and
obtains a graph consisting of
brain waves" AS in reading
the EEG (electrocardiogram
of the BRAIN can determine
if the tracing is normal or
abnormal. For example, alb
normalities such as espilepsy
and brain tumor often cause
typical patterns on the

Johann Sebastian Bach's "St.
John Passion" was the rare
treat presented to Washington's
music-lovers yesterday after
noon in Constitution Hall by
Robert Shaw.
Mr.. Shaw chose to perform
the work in much the same
manner as it must have been
done in Bach'S own day-with
q chorus Of 80 and an orchestra
somewhat smaller. The luS-
trous clarity achieved is a well
come relief from what is usually
heard in performances of Bach
Of a festival" nature, where
choruses of 100 to 300 are the
rule, and a sort of muddy,
overwhelming power is the
ideal.
It was a distinct pleasure to
note once again the clean, beau
tifully blended choral tone
MF. Shaw draws from his sing
ers, the deeply moving ethereal
quality of the soft passages,
the grace Of the phrasing.
There are few choral conduc-
tors who are equal to Mr.. Shaw
in his sensitivity to blend, abil-
ity to invoke sheer magic, and
passionate devotion to the spirit
Of the music he is projecting.
The "St. John Passion" is
not, of course, nearly so popular
as the st. Matthew. Here-per-
haps because of some inherent
dramatic lack in the telling of
the story by John-Bach chose
to enlarge on the commentary
10 the point where it is just
tbout equivalent to the nara
live in Importance.
As a consequence, the Pas
sion has a curiously delicate
balance which is extremely diff
.icult to achieve in actual per-
sormance. Neither the story Of
Christ's agony nor the touching
meditations upon its meaning
must take precedence, else it
loses some of it's unity and
some of its impact.
BY and large, Mr.. Shaw man
aged to walk the tightrope with
q large degree of success, espe-
cially in the purely choral Sec
tions. The beautiful chorales,
nagnificently sung, were stun
ningly set against the turbulent
passages where the chorus is
the hooking crowd.
The intent, feel, is that the
contemplative solo ariaS should
similarly balance the recitatives
sung by the characters in the
dramatic Evangelist, Jesus

Ann Drittelle forsook her
usual post as first cellist with
the National Gallery Orchestra
to present last night a beau
tifully phrased and technically
impressive performance Of the
Haydn cello concerto. She used
cadenzaS written especially for
her by the late Diran Alexan-
ian. These are better for the
instrument than the usual ones
by Gevaert. This concerto was
long thought to be by Anton
Kraft, rather than Haydn, but
the original manuscript turned
up in 1854 in Haydn's own
hand, indicating that Tovey
and others guessed wrong. I
recommend a : return to the
original orchestration, rather
than, the Gevaert version, as
this one rather overpowers the
solo instrument, at times.
The beginning Of the pro-
gram was devoted to the
strange, sad music of Sibelius
evoked by Maeterlinck's play,
PelleaS and Melisande. OF all
the music written on this
theme, by Debussy, Schoen-
berg, Faure and others, the
Sibelius seems fartheSt from
the play. 1t sounds like a
dialogue between Ibsen and his
psychiatrist. Donald Hefner,
English horn, then the whole
woodwind section took bows for
their individual playing.
The finale was Beethoven's
first symphony, a revolutionary
work in its day, thanks to the
expedient of beginning in a
foreign key, and revealing al
ready Beethoven's masterful
writing for the cello, liberated
from the constant task of play
ing the bass line. The perform
ance was hasty in spots, per-
functory in spots, but in gen.
eral spirited and clean.
The orchestra sounded at its
best last night. I liked the
violins in the last section of
the Sibelius, and the ensemble
was better throughout the pro-
gram than 1 can remember.
The double BASES, always fine,
had a lot to do in this pro-
gram.
The audience packed the
house and greeted the pro-
gram with much applause.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
By PETER J. STEINcRoHN

1t Is both the dentists
and the physicians respon-
sibility to work hand in
hand. If your doctors don't
cooperate you may some
times get into a jam.
For example, when your
dentist finds unusual bleed
ing Of gums, he should refer
you to your physician for
blood studies and other tests
to rule out blood disease of
some kind. The dentist is
often the first to see a be-
ginning growth on the tongue
or mouth. If suspicious it
may be cancer, early treat
ment by your doctor may
prevent serious complications.
The family doctor likewise
has responsibilities. Whether
you intend to have dentistry
in the near future or not, he
should warn you about GER
tain potential dangers when
you visit your dentist. These
could easily be overcome and
prevented, if you informed
him of what your doctor was
treating you for.
Consider rheumatic heart
disease. Your dentist must
know you have it even though
the treatment considered is
only the extraction of one
tooth. If he doesn't, he won't
take the precaution of giving
you penicillin or some other
medicine to prevent a bad
infection on the heart valves.
This is also necessary if you
have congenital heart disease.
And suppose you have had
an attack of coronary throm-
bosis. The dentist should
know you are taking blood
thinners; otherwise you may

fists can come to know the true
relationship between points on

accurate mapping-a fact not
emphasized by DR.. Woodland in
his talk but nevertheless i'm
portant in the nuclear-missile
age.
From a purely scientific point
of view, DR.. Woodland said,
space-age geodesy is raising
doubts about many long
accepted ideas. Included are
those concerning the interior
of the earth, its strength, the
INTERPRETATION of gravitational
and magnetic field abnormali-
ties, and possibly circulatory or
correctional movement within
Its core"
Up to now, DR.. Woodland said,
there has never been a COM
pletely integrated program OF
geophysical study of the earth's
interior" Now the artificial
satellite program is offering an
incentive to such study.
"The challenge will either
lead to new and possibly spec
tacular knowledge of the int
rior structure of the earth or it
will result in a critical reap
praiSal of the analytical meth
DDS now being used in studying
the orbital perturbationS of
artificial satellites"
