Statesmen Basis of Prosperity
Finally, let me say a word
about the selection of statesmen.
They hould be men of
character and with a pleasing
personality. A good salesman
believes in his product and in his
employer. He honestly feels that
he is serving his customer by
selling them his goods. He is
convinced that full employment
is dependent upon the nations
statesmen, whether his territory
is international or only local.
He believes that the future of
America depends upon real in
dustry, the number of homes
built, the amount of clothing and
good food sold rather than
upon the number of cigarettes
or bottles of beer or quantity
OF cosmetics sold. If President
Kennedy should ask me what
he could do to help business, l
would say: do more for the
nations statesmen. They are the
basis Of prosperity"

Odds Are Poor Lawmakers
Will Accept School Aid

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. %
1t would be a risky and proba-
bly, incorrect assumption to pre-
dict that Congress would go
home this year without asking
some sort of action in the field
of federal aid to education.
At tile very least, it seems
safe to guess the lawmakers will
either extend in its present form
or provide substitute for the
so-called "impacted areas" pro-
gram which tunnels federal
money to school districts crowd
ed with dependents of military
and government workers.

Spring
Has
Sprung

M e m b ers and guests Of
the Washington Fashion
Group yesterday discovered
that spring had sprung in
side as well as outside.
Miss Conoldine Burnett Of
the Frederick Atkins Buying
Group in New York, was the
guest speaker and gave q
fabric and color preview Of
spring "a, at their monthly
luncheon meeting at the
Sheraton Carlton Hotel.
The professional audience
Of people in fashion heard
the words by which they will
live by in the seasons to
come.
Colors such as the pale
sand to adobe tones, natures
woodland hues from elm
bark grays to birch bark ma
turals, the primavera greens
the poison variety, and jade
shades, plus the news that
white may well replace basic
black as a color If it can be
called that" would be i'm
portant Miss Burnett said.
She said women applaud
the designers who incorpo-
rate into their clothes FASH
ion, fabric, and color which
are irrevocably tied together.
The popularity Of pink, for
example, from "p ale to
screech" has occurre d be-
cause women feel good in the
color and it's pretty making.
THE best reason for fash
ion," she insists.
Looking ahead she predict
ed crisp laces will not only be
seen in the ballroom but on
the beach as little coverups
for bathing suits.
The strong influence of at
home clothes in settings that
a hostess feels reflects her
feminine taste is accounting
for a tremendous reSurgence
Of feminine and flattering
fashions. There has been a
strong move back to a more
fitted line. The little broth
er" look is being replaced by
the little sister," Miss Bur-
nett noted.
Other colors to look in
clude the lilacs, violets, and
wisteria colorations. All color

Van CIburn found Constitu-
ton Hall packed and warmly
receptive when he appeared, Is
minutes late, to play his piano
recital last night.
An ovation went up as he en-
tere d; he acknowledged the
applause, began to stride pur-
posefully toward the Steinway,
paused and walked off again.
He was back a moment later to
explain that the lid had some
how been left off the piano.
Technicians were found to put it
back, and raise it on the high
stick, while the audience buzzed
od-humoredly.
When next he approached the
piano, the atmosphere did not
seem right to begin the recital,
for the buzzing was slow to die
down. With masterful Snowman
ship and keen insight, he did
the one thing guaranteed to re-
duce Constitution Hall to sill
ence-he played the National
Anthem. It worked.
The program was a heavy
one. Sonatas by Beethoven (Pa-
thetique had been announced,
AppasSiOnata was played, Sa-
muel Barber and Chopin, and a
group from the Brahms Opus
11S comprised the hefty list.

NEWS OF MUSIC
Van CIiburn Arrives
Late With His Moqic.

In many ways the program
was most successful in its open
ing and closing moments. There
was full opportunity for display
Of this young artists poetic sen
sitivity in the Brahms which be-
gan the evening, and in the
massive Chopin sonata which
closed it.
Between these, the Beethoven
sonata was all surface work
without revelation, while the el-
abOrate Barber sonata had a
highly impersonal flavor with
out much eloquence. It was
good playing, but not playing Of
stature.
The Chopin sonata was some
thing else again. In the feathery
lightness of the second move
ment, in the lovely song Of the
slow movement and in the gran
deur Of the conclusion, there
was many a moment Of magic,
of total involvement of the ar
fist and the instrument with the
music. Such playing should fill
a large hall.
Van Cliburn is so youthful in
appearance, so dreamily alb
sorbed in his work when he
plays, that it is a disadvantage.
One keeps being reminded that,
but for the fact that he was
struck by the lightning five
years ago, he would suffer the
fate Of the finest pianists Of this
generation, and be incapable of
filling Constitutional Hall for a
recital. But he does, and he has
talent to back it up. More power
to him.
