Mozart had set so years ear
her, free Of any but the most
obvious and elementary sort
Of counterpart, and marvel
ously vocal. It Is q solid and
mature work in terms Of the
composers style, often highly
dramatic and GRATED with q
finely sensitive ear for small
vocal ensembles.
The choir was composed Of
% better than average voices
from The Washington Consort
and Baltimore's Christ Church
Choir - considerably short Of
an ideal size for the big work,
but neatly trained by Director
Verle Larson. The soloists were
all in good form and John
Yards frequent solo and en-
semble assignments were ham
died with genuine distinction.
Donizetti'S colorlesS accompan-
iments and the balance with
the small choir should have
given Organist Doris Eicher
more than her share Of prob
lens, but she showed ingenuity
and muSicianship throughout
the evening.

A few years ago it took q
pretty sophisticated opera goer
to name something by Done
zetti other than Lucia di Lam
mermoor. Recent years have
seen the resurrection Of sew
eral items from the composers
immense operate catalog and
changed all that. but his dozen
string quartets and seven
masses are still strange terri
tory for most Of us.
One of the masseS-a re-
QUEEN written for. Bellini's fu-
neral in 1835-was revived last
night at National City Chris
tan Church and. while I'm
not inclined to regard the event
as the greatest discovery Of
the season, the piece was not
quite so cobweb-encrHsted as
one might have anticipated and.
all in all. proved to be perfectly
respectable.
The style is pretty much what
you might expect-harmoni-
cally naive by the standard

Reynaldo Reyes, a major pi-
anistic talent from the Philip
pines who is now on the faculty
at the Peabody Conservatory in
Baltimore, may never expect to
find a warmer audience than
the jam-packed East Garden
Court of the National Gallery
last night. Everything he played
on his program Of four major
works drew an ovation, and the
List Paganini etudes were in
terrupted in mid-career for
more of the same.
The interruption occurred
after the third of the set, La
Campanella. Previously. he had
held the enthusiasm of the au-
dience in check with his hands
poised above the keyboard and
a general attitude Of There's
More to Come" but after his
brilliant performance of La
Campanella, someone in the
back Of the hall shouted BRA
vol" and the applause broke
like a thunderstorm. After two
or three bows he was allowed
to continue.
The entire set was brilliantly
performed. After the dozen or

so variations on Caprice No. "a,
with which it concludes, the
applause rolled on and on. One
had time to walk down the
long hall filled with Clodion
sculptures, past the rotunda,
and to the stairs before it died
down. enough for the encores
to begin.
Before the List, the early
Bartok suite was a fascinating
study in the way this artist
controls the sorority Of his in
strument in a far-from-ideal
hall. All the tension one might
ask was in the playing, but
the performance was never al
lowed to get even q little bit
out Of hand.
Learned by Error
Early in the program Reyes
disclosed q human frailty
which one would not have
thought possible, coming in
later. In the Bach concerto in
the Italian style. after a lovely
and poetic slow movement, he
let the concluding presto get
muddied up by pushing it too
hard. It was not the fault of
his pedaling which was light
and judiciouS, just too much
sound to let the line of the
movement emerge clearly. 1t
was a mistake he did not make
again.

THE MATTER IS CLOSED

THE latter IS CLOSED
Governor Ralph P iewonskyi is to be congratulated in mov-
ing with such defnitenesS in clearing the air in the matter OF
lack Leach and the press. This action proves two things. First,
that where there is a head Of state which knows the situation
and is dedicated to fairness and Justice, the public will be as
sured that its every interest will be given the fullest %considera-
ton. Second, that furious attack at the first temptation is never
a solution to any problem.
"A 6 LEACH was wrong. He knew it. The Governor
knew it. Everybody knew il. Under the circumstances the
very best public interest was served by calm, logical and fail
approach to the matter. An explanation seemed needed, and
that is exactly the approach taken. In this way the public was
given all the facts and the entire matter was then placed in
proper perspective
H REMOVAL OF MI. Leach, if and when it comes.
will be a matter of his own making. Perhaps prompted by I'M
controlled enthusiasm, perhaps motivated by q feeling Of
LOYALTY to his position which required striking out at any and
all criticism, Mr.. Leach felt that the only course open to him
was to take to the air. But this is seldom in the best interest OF
all concerned. A press officer has to exercise great restraint in
a highly sensitive and responsible position. His is more than
the duty to pass out information, or to strike when all IS not
well.
AS SAIL BEFORE, all the press seeks is an opportunity
to receive information about public matters which are Tor
publication, and that it receives this information promptly. Be
cause Of distance, the press in St Croiz may be at q disadvan-
tage, and therefore urges the Government to take such steps
as would insure the receipt Of releases promptly. And what is
more, these steps are easy and simple, and have been spelled
out time and again. That done, the press on this side would
be most appreciative.
THE CONFIDENCE placed in Governor P~aiewonsky is
certainly fully justified.

UnenviobIe Distinction

The Internal Revenue Service has
accorded Maryland first place among
States where operation of gambling
machines is legalized form of business
activity. We have tried in vain to think
of a reason why our neighboring State
should be proud of this high ranking.
The IRIS has reported that Maryland
has three times as many business eStab-
liShments equipped with commercial
gaming devices as Nevada, notorious
for legalized gambling Yet only four
counties in Maryland are authorized by
law to permit operation of "one-arm
bandits" and other machines Of chance
The figures, based on sale of Federal
gambling stamps, showed that Mary
land has nearly 1000 licensed gambling
spots, as compared with 1886 in Nevada.
If there is any distinction attached
to this rating, it is an unenviable one.

Sound Advice

The Montgomery County Planning
Board has expressed quite accurately,
we think, the suburban attitude toward
the proposal by Representative Reuss of
Wisconsin that the National Capital
Planning Commission be empowered to
veto local Maryland or Virginia coming
actions which it feels might impair the
beauty of the Potomac River gorge.
In voting vigorous opposition to the
ReuSs plan, the Maryland planners sug-
gested that Congress "Straighten out
the planning mess" in Washington be-
fore attempting to usurp local police
powers elsewhere in the National Capital
Area suggestion which, all things
considered, has substantial merit.
This is not to say that the preserva-
ton OF the values of the Potomac is not
matter Of real regional concern. We
think 1t is important that the various
Jurisdictions of the region agree upon
policy which, like that of the Mont
gomery Planning Board, is firmly COM
mitted to safeguarding the scenic values
OF the river shores. But the proper
method of attaining this goal is through
the efforts of such organizations as the
Regional Planning Council and the Met
ropolitan Council of Governments, not
through the granting of divisive and
perhaps unavoidable dictatorial powers
to the NCPC or to any other Federal
agency.

The Hard Facts

Believing that too few people under
stand the economic plight of the Wash
ngton community, the League of
Women Voters of the District of Co.
lumbia is attempting to rectify that
deficiency. One result, a slim pamphlet
entitled, "a Tale of Two Cities: Wash
lngton and It's Finances" should be
required reading not only for District
citizens who are concerned about the
deterioration of the Nations CAPITAL.
but for the members of Congress who
control the District purse strings.
The Is pages of the pamphlet con-
tain 1.-The hard facts" which are needed
TO comprehend the dual role which
Washington fills as the Federal Citv
and as a community of three-quarters
OF a million residents. For it is this
which sets the District apart from other
cities, which restricts it's financial re-
sources on the one hand, and which on
the other imposes unique responsible
ties upon the local government The

progressive arrangement be-
tween the Government and
business is to no sensible
persons gain and poses a
threat to an American econ
omy which every sensible
person wants to see go up
and not down.
Restore Real Communication
This being the case. what
is to be done? To this col
umnist it seems that the
first necessity is to find a
means through which the
President personally can
learn what it is that is real
ly troubling business and
through which men down in
the active cockpit of bust
ness life can learn at first
hand what they can expect
and not expect from the
President.
This sort Of thing will
never be done through for
NAL meetings at which both
sides speak in large general
tiles and issue statements to
the press to score points
against each other. 1t can
only be done in privacy.
where neither side feels any
necessity to go out to justify
itself to the country.
Why cannot the President
invite one or two business
people at a time to a purely
private lunch or dinner, both
sides forgetting all about
formality and publicity and
talking cold turkey in the
advance assurance that it is
all off the record and that
the exchange of information,
and not propaganda, is the
sole purpose?
1t would be naive in the
extreme to suggest that such
exchanges would make busi-
ness simply wild about the
President and vice versa. But
it seems a perfectly reason
able forecast that they could
clear away some misunder-
standings and at least leave
each side fully aware Of just
where the other really stood
and why. Even this much
would be a gain.
For while major differ
ences are going to persist be-
tween President and bust
ness, there is no need to add
to these a good many wholly
unnecessary and pointless
divisions which head-on ex-
animation between the par
ties involved would show to
be simply nonsense.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-29

League does not propose that the Dis
trict beg; it sees the likelihood that
local residents will have to bear heav-
Ter burden through both taxation and
Indebtedness. But it clearly and con-
cisely explains why the Federal Gov
eminent also must bear a fairer share
in the costs of "a city whose reason
for existence is to be the seat of Ma
tional Government"
Apart from local use, we hope that
means are found to distribute the new
booklet widely across the country. The
more fully the problems of the Nations
Capital are understood by all Americans,
the more their concern will be reflected
in action by Congress.

may think of television as a
device of enormous potential
as a medium of information,
viewers have an entirely diff
ferent idea.
LIVING WITH TELEVI-
SION" is derived from a large
number of studies prepared
by Social Research. Inc, for
Campbell Ewald, a Detroit
advertising agency. These
studies seem to have been
fairly closely controlled by the
agency, for we are told that
John E. Bower III, assistant
to the vice president, mar
keting and research depart
ment, throughout was
a valuable and patient critic
of our work and of the COM
pleted research document"
Moreover, Miss Laura Baker,
research account executive.
often had the task of review
ing our research reports and
seeing that they were me-
thodologically and interpre-
tatively sound"
We are not told just what
Campbell Ewald wanted with
these studies. though the
authors say that the agency
was interested in particular
shows with which they were
connected, and that their
work reflects this interest.
All this may mean moth
ing. On the other hand it
may be very meaningful in
deed. The point is that one
can never be sure about
commissioned research. The
suspicious reader will think
that here and there in the
book he can detect traces of a
pitch for a previously deter
mined policy, attitude or bias.
He may be right; he may be
wrong.
But all this aside, there is
a strong temptation to infer
that these studies are sup
posed to be used to chart the
future course of some of tele-
Visions major advertisers. If
this is so, new departures are
automatically foreclosed in
advance, for obviously people
can have no opinion about as
yet unborn types of pro-
grams. If they could imagine
them. they would be found
around the cameras, not
around the receivers.
