Officers Bitter
French Army officers, mean
while, reacted with both bitter
ness and resignation to Presi-
dent De Gaulle's decision to
remove two division from AL
geria.
Some officers criticized the
timing of the decision, when
terrorism and unrest are
threatening Algeria.
In the Bone incident, the
terrorists opened fire as they
drove past the crowd of flower
laden people-mostly Europeans
who were paying respects at
a makeshift altar. They were
honoring Antoine Mel, Is, who
was shot and killed Friday
night by a French army Off

Scores of Europeans hnme-

onto motor scooters to chase
the terrorists. blowing out their
tires in a running gunbattle

Stamped by Crowd
When the car halted the
crowd yanked one Of the Mos

him to death. The other two
escaped on foot, although pur-
sued in the darkness by troops
and European civilians.
AS the gunfire cracked hum
dreds of other Europeans fled
for cover.
The government announced
Friday night it intends to trans
fer two divisions and several air
units to bolster French forces
in Europe. The planned trans
fer originally was announced by
Gen. de Gaulle December 80,
but the army command here
was convinced that it would be
postponed.
European settlers violently
criticized the move and some
shouted treason. The right

DINING OUT
Old, but Good
BY JOHN M. ROSSON

It's been said before but like
many a truth 1t bears repeat
ing.
Where restaurants are con-
cerned. it's difficult to beat the
oldtimers.
That's why they ARE old
timers. we suppose.
There are a number of Wash
ington area restaurants which
fall in the oldtimers category,
some of them still pleasing
diners-out after so or go years.
Harvey's, for example, served
meals to Union soldiers during
the Civil War. That was 100
years ago.
Many Of the oldtimers here,
however, fall in the 20 to 30
year category. 1t was our piece
Of luck this week to visit one
such establishment for the first
time. 1t will not be our last.
It's the Silver Fox Restau-
rant at 1924 Wisconsin avenue
NV.
1t should be said at the out
set that the Silver Fox-happily
is different.
The menu, the diner-out
will find-speaks for itself. In
a city Of growing cosmopoli-
tans. the management MAIN
tains, the Fox has gathered an
impressive coterie Of devotees
Its longevity. we argue, proves
the point.
The difference we speak of
lies elsewhere-in the Fox's at
mosphere.
Unlike many area restau-
rants. the Silver Fox-while re-
naming etirely a restaurant
somehow radiates that rare
ly found air Of a night club.
Perhaps supper club air comes
closer to the truth. but the
result is the same: The diner
out is constantly aware that
he's dining out, that the eve
ming is something special.
The effect is achieved not
only by first-rate service and
a certain overall flair, but by
the decor and floor plan.
1t all adds up to a compli-
ment.
The decor, while conserva-
tive. nevertheless says club. The

rock rolled the rug out from
under the rug-cutting genera
ton and big bands suddenly
were passe. So was young Mr.
Snyder.
He gave up the big band and
hied himself to Hollywood for
a spell of movie work and some
leisure to regroup his inner
artistic forces. A couple OF
years later a man from Decca
got him on the phone and de-
manded to know why in blazes
he had never signed his new
contract.
Took them two years to dis
cover that I hadn't signed
says Mr.. Snyder. Anyhow, il
turned out that he again was
in demand as a recording art
ist, which was fine with him.
He probably Is the only re-
cording star ever who made 9
disc so popular that he found
himself in trouble as a serious
composer. That was when he
plucked the second movement
out Of his own piano concerto
and recorded it for London as O
number called Chicago Blues
1T sold q fabulous number
Of records in England" says
Mr.. Snyder, somewhat bemuseo
by the memory, but they
couldn't even give 1t away ir
this country. Over there not
only the records sold. but the
sheet music was a big seller
too. I tried to get it back, but
the publisher wouldn't see that
II don't blame him, either
I still get checks now and then
for the sheet music. But I had
to write a whole new second
movement to match the first
and third before ! could do the
concerto with symphony Or
chestras.
Il
AS you may have guessed,
the Chicago-bo musician feels
that diversification is the only
course to success now for q
man in his field. To him there
are two kinds Of music-good
and bad.
There was a time when q

John Dracopoulos, George
Vournas and Andrew Panago-
poulos. Their chief chef is
CASTOR Wintterer.
Faced with an endless menu.
it was Chef Wintterer's special
Silver Fox mixed grill (steak.
calf's liver, sausages, a lamb
chop, and a tangy grilled to-
mato) which caught our eye.
With it came a baked potato
and broccoli Hollandaise. We
had made fools Of ourselves
earlier over the hors d'oeuvres.
They come to the table with
out asking.
We also had chicken noodle
soup.
| Once the mixed grill was a
thing Of the past, dessert was
out OF the question. We de-
cided to settle for coffee.
The entrees range from a
special cut prime sirloin steak
($0 and q filet mignon ($5.75) I.
to imperial crab en- coquille a
la Silver Fox ($3.75) and chick
en- en- casserole Bordelaise

fectively prior to writing

musician could concentrate on
one thing - classical, jazz, or
whatever-but no more. Now
you have to get into every
field of music. The really big
thing right now is the concert
tour"
On these. too, Mr.. Snyder
sticks with diversification. He'll
do concert work as a visiting
soloist with a symphony, then
bring on q small group of his
own for a session Of Jazz.
This latter is his own brand
Of music, for which he sees a
fine future. It's a departure
from the big band brand called
swing and 1t is not way-out in
the manner Of the modernists
who not only lost the younger
set some years back but "also
lose themselves sometimes. "
The Snyder term for it is ex-
plicitly descriptive - melodic
jazz.
On his next concert tour
sometime after the Mayflower
engagement. Mr.. Snyder will
appear as a harpsichordist
rather than as a pianist. He's
found a man in Chicago who
makes harpsichords excellent
ones that need tuning no more
than twice a year.
This instrument is involved
too, in another of Mr.. Snyder's
current projects. This is the
composition, on commission
from CBS-TV for a Camera
Three" telecast, of a "Baroque
Jazz Concerto Crosse" for
harpsichord and chamber Or
chestra. And this has him
thinking toward still another
future project-an orchestra OF
harpsichord and other ancient
instruments for playing his
modern day melodic jazz.
