CheaperShare
Pondered for
Satellite Firm
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy says he
VIII have to examine whether
1t is in the public interest to
lower the price of shares in
the proposed communications
satellite corporation.
In its original proposal to
Congress, the administration
pegged the price of shares in
the private corporation at ST.
600 apiece.
On Tuesday. Attorney Gen.
eral Robert F.. Kennedy told
the House Commerce Commit
tee he favored lowering the
cost per share to SlOO to
broaden public ownership.
AT yesterdays presidential
news conference a reporter
asked: HAS any thought been
given to reducing this price
to 81 so all the taxpayers could
get in on the ground floor?"
In reply. the President said
he had tried to strike a bal
ance between the need for large
investment, which only a few
companies can make, and a
broad distribution.
And, he suggested, an in
weston looking for a quick re-
turn might not be interested
I am not sure the dollars and
cents return would be COM
parable to what they might be
able to get in other areas, at
least for a great many years"
Mr.. Kennedy said.
The administrators plan has
not won clear sailing. Newton
N. Minow. chairman of the
Federal Communications Com
mission, has spoken in favor of
restricting ownership in the
corporation to existing commu-
nications firms. On the other
hand, Senator Kefauver, Dem
ocrat of Tennessee. wants the
Government to retain owner

Show Costs
$4,000
BY the Associated Press

With a 81 ,O00-a-week direc-
tor and a $4,000 budget, the
United States Information
Agency is producing color
movies of Mrs. John F. Ken
nedy's journey through India
and Pakistan.
USIA Director Edward R.
Murrow disclosed this yesterday
after Representative Cederberg,
Republican of Michigan, asked
about the production.
Mr.. Cederberg is a member
of the House Appropriations
Subcommittee which handles
USIA spending.
Mr.. Cederberg said he thinks
the First Lady's tour is being
adequately covered" by news
men and photographers. IF a
documentary film of this semi
official trip is felt necessary by
USIA, should think there
would be plenty of footage in
the commercial films which
could be assembled by the
Government" he said.
Mr.. Murrow wrote the Con-
gresham that the movies are
being made under a $45,807 so
contract with Hearst ETetrotone
News, Inc. He said that covers
a two-reel film of the visit to
India, and a one-reel docu-
mentary on the Pakistan tour.
In addition, he said, an eSti-
mated $4,000 in United States
owned foreign currency will be
spent for expenses such as
transportation and equipment
secured in India and PakiStan.
Mr.. Murrow said the con-
tract provides $1,000 a week for
the director. $1,000 weekly for
a cameraman accompanying
the director, and $425 a week
for a second cameraman travel
ing on the press plane.

Nixon Replies
ToKennedy's
Cuba Denial

LOS ANGELES, Mar. %
(AP).-President Kennedy says
the issue is closed as far as he
is concerned, but former Vice
President Nixon has a final
word on the secret preparations
for Cuban invasion attempt.
Mr.. Nixon issued a statement
Yesterday in reply to the White
House denial that Mr.. Kennedy
knew, during the 1860 cam
paign that the United States
was training Cubans for the
invasion.
Mr.. Nixon's book, six
Crises" says Mr.. Kennedy was
aware of the training and en-
dangered United States security
by advocating drastic opposi-
ton to Fidel Castro.
president Eisenhower has
authorized me to state that he
gave instructions that Senator
Kennedy was to be as fully
briefed on our foreign problems
as I was" Mr.. Nixon'S state
ment said.
1.-The statements in my book
were based not only on public
press accounts of the briefings
President Kennedy received,
but on personal conversations
with responsible individuals
who had knowledge of the facts.
Because the Cuban issue
was such an important one in
the campaign, I personally re-
searched the facts relating to
it. Beyond that I have no
further comment. My book
speaks for itself"
The White House denial has
been supported by Allen w.
Dulles, former director of the
Central Intelligence Agency,
who briefed Senator Kennedy.
He said Mr.. Nixon was in error,
but that he believes the charge
was the result of IAN honest
misunderstanding"

Africa, but was later revised to
cover Latin America alone.
While the committee con-

conferred with Soviet delegates
on arrangements to reopen the
18-nation disarmament talks

Alberto Jaffe, Brazilian vio-
liniSt, and his wife, Daisy de
Luca, presented last night the
first of a series of 10 recitals
in this country which will be
followed by an extensive tour
of Europe.
Mr.. Jaffe has a good tech
nique on his instrument and a
sound knowledge of the style
of the pieces he chose. He gives
promise of becoming a fine
player, but at present he is
still insure of information and
occasionally gets trapped by the
bowling.
Miss de Luca plays the piano
fluently, but leaves something
to be desired in sensitivity Of
ensemble. In the Mozart, partic-
ularly, her left hand did not
provide adequate support fol
the right hand and the violin
part.
These are matters that will
certainly improve as the tour
gets going, and the program is
well designed to appeal to most
audiences. The only novelty on
it is Dvorak Sonatina. which
is full of pleasant little folk
like melodies and calls for some
effective display on the part
of both performers.
Their performance Of the
Debussy Sonata, which calls for
the utmost accuracy in en-
semble, was a little rough at
times, but in general was the
high point of the program.

This special choral program,
a Joint effort of two we'll
known churches on the chang
ing periphery of Thomas circle,
was presented under the title
"a Festival of Religious Lib
erty," for reasons not readily
apparent in the music.
The significance Of the eve
ming lay in the first public ap-
pearance of Leo Sowerby as
composer-conductor in the area
since he assumed the direction
of the Washington Cathedral'S
College of Church Musicians.
Under the direction Of Law
renee Schneider, the choir sang
with good discipline the an
thems by Hubert Parry and
Ralph Vaughan VILLA m S.
Nothing electric about the per-
Torrance, just well-drilled work.
AS organ accompanist, Mr..
Schneider gave excellent sup
port to violist Raymond Mon
toni, once of this city and now
of Pittsburgh.
It was a Sowerby evening, the
major spot on the program
being devoted to his cantata.
1.-THE Ark of the Covenant, "
with two instrumental pieces
included in the rest of the list.
The text of the cantata, taken
from II Canticles, 5 and 6, deals
with the occasion when Solo
mon assembled the elders to
bring up the ark of the COW
enant to Jerusalem. A solid,
academic work, 1t did little to
raise the evening to the status
of a memorable occasion.
What did make the occasion
memorable was the congrega-
ton, which raised its multiple
voice in three hymns: Praise
to the Lord, the Almighty" "A
Mighty Fortress Is Our God"
and 20 God, Our Help in Ages
Past" In the packed church
some sang parts; some leaned
hard on the melody, but nearly
all sang. The sheer physica'
impact of all that earnest sounc
was beautiful beyond anything

The Soviet Unions Oldest
orchestra, the Leningrad Phil
harmonic, came to Constitution
Hall yesterday afternoon, and
despite the tenseness of the
political situation, scored what
can only be called a brilliant
artistic success.
Eugen Mravinsky and his men
were greeted by such a ire
mendous ovation after the con-
clusion of the announced
program that not one, but two,
encores were added. If the
players had not followed their
conductor off the stage after
that, there we'll might have
been yet another.
The ovation was well deserved.
The Leningrad Philharmonic
is, in truth. a superb ensemble
- magnificently disciplined,
clean in sound, responsive to
the slightest wish of its leader,
Furthermore, it has en- astound-
ing virtuosity, as was plainly
evidenced by the ease with
which it negotiated the furious
pace set by Mr.. Mravinsky in
the last movement of the
Tchaikovsky, as well as in the
Overture to Russian and Lud-
milla" played as the second
encore.
Ascetic Fifth"
Also, Mr.. Mravinsky is a
superb conductor, with a beau
tifully clear beat, a complete
lack of ostentation, and the
ability to whip the orchestra
into a controlled frenzy which
is most satisfying. Indeed, his
ascetic reading Of the Tchai-
kovsky Fifth was In sharp con-
trast to those usually heard in
this country and, to my mind,
a much more convincing one.
Surprising-and pleasing was
the utter purity of the line and
the calculated avoidance of
sentimentality. Tchaikovsky
emerged as a figure of strength
rather than of self-pity.
AS novelty, the Leningrad
Philharmonic offered Wash
ingtonians their first taste OF
the Shostakovich Twelfth SYM
phony, composed in 1861 and
first heard by the Western
world last season at the Edin-
burgh Festival in Scotland,
where it was roundly' con-
demned.
1 am afraid that the con-
formations are well justified
Although the work is subtitled
1.-THE Year 1917"-which i'm
plies, of course, the Bolshevik
Revolution and the feelings ii
inspired in the composer
Shostakovich has here chosen
to revert to an ultra-conserva-
tive idiom which might we'll bt
termed state academicism.
Tired, Clumsy
The Twelfth Symphony is I
tirnid work, displaying none o
the daring of his First Sym
phony, written at the age o.
10. which raised such high
hopes that another immorta
had made his bow on the stage
of history. 1t is tired in SOUND
and astonishingly clumsy ir
construction for so experienced
a composer.
The orchestra played the
symphony with whatever en-
thusiasm it could muster. II
was a brave thing for Mr.
Mravinsky to retain on his pro-
gram a work which calls atten-
| ton to Soviet theology at just
this time; there had been some
speculation as to whether or not
it would be dropped at the last
moment.
Nevertheless, I cannot help
feeling that it would be more Of
a service to Shostakovich to
present him to the American
public with a piece that is not
so feeble-after all. he die
write some fine music.
