PhoSphor tagged stamps

Dayton, Ohio, the Post Of
flee Department announced
yesterday. First day cover
service will be provided.
The Scent Capitol and jet
liner air mail stamp, over
printed with an almost In
visible luminescent material
which glOws brightly under
ultraviolet light, will be
used in the test. This glow
will make it possible to sep
arate air mail letters from
other mail automatically be-
fore they enter the facer-
canceler, eliminating one
sorting and speeding dis
patch by as much as a half
hour.
In this test, letters bearing
the tagged stamps will not
be postmarked by the facer-
canceler but will be thrown
out in a separate stack for
special handling. On August
/ such letters will be given a
cancellation with First Day
Of Use" in the killer bars.
Dayton was chosen as the
site for the test because 1t is
the home of the National

(Which recently gave lis our
first Siegfried) is to be con-
graduated then for another
milestone of great significant.
A Composers Triumph
AS may be generally known
by now, Britten has inter-
larded sections Of the tradi-
tional Latin Mass for the
Dead with verses by the Eng
lish poet, Wilfred Owen,
whose moving protests
against war preceded the al
most mystical loss of his own
life in battle Just before the
Armistice of World War I.
This is a feat which, in
lesser hands, could seem con-
trived and mawkish. But the
British composer has created
an allegorical masterpiece
which both grieves for the
dead of other wars and the
living who yet must die.
His complex musical struc-
ture calls for three distinct
levels. The Latin texts are
sung by mems and women's
choruses and soprano solo,
lists with full-scale orchestra.
The English poems are sung
by two Soldiers" a baritone
and tenor, with chamber Or
chestra. Then there is a boys
choir, singing from a dis
lance with ethereal effect,
accompanied by chamber or
gan.
Imagine making all that
homogenize into an articu-
late entity and one will dis
Germ the problem Britten as
signed himself. No easy task
to balance the anguished
Dies Irae of the full chorus
and blaring horns against a
poignant, almost whispered
tenor solo. OF course, they
are not operating at the same
time, but there are sections
where the voices are intri-
cately interviewer or inter-
spersed.
Infinite Variety
Britten uses practically ev-
cry musical device imagin-
able, then throws in some
extras it will take many
hearings to ferret out. Per-
cussion instruments are Sec
ond nature to him-bells,
drums, other defin e d
sounds-all adding striking
punctuation marks. There is
a fugue, an eight-part cho-
rus, trumpet, horn and from
bone fanfares. And there are
moments of tender beauty in
the solo parts.
For soloiSts, London chose
two fine male voices-Tenor
Peter Pears and Baritone
Dietrich Fischer Dieskau,
both widely acclaimed in this
country. They are magnif1-
cent in the Owen verses. The
soprano is Galina Vishnev-
skaya, whose voice seems
strident at times, but is love-
ly in the Lachrimosa. In the
selection of the three, Brit
ten carried his war symbol
ism a step farther, for the
singers are British, German
and Russian.
For the tremendous prob
lens inherent in such a work,
the recording is technically
remarkable. London was wise
in having the composer con-
duct, and he obviously knew
land got) what he wanted.
We believe that most music
lovers also will get what they
want - something of more
than passing value - when
they hear the Requiem for
themselves.
