Modern Works Best
In Chamber Program

The keyboard does nothing for
them. Further, these are dance
pieces, and rather sprightly
ones; they suffered by the
severe, lifeless performance
they got last night.
The Vivaldi went much bet
ter, but needed a cello, bassoon
or viola da gambia to provide
the necessary sustained bass
line. The last movement was
so well received that 1t was
repeated as an encore.
The two modern works were
the best part of the program.
TIE Hindemith was particularly
fine. The ensemble was excel
lent, and the fine, sensitive
phrasing Of Don Hefner lent
great charm to the music. The
Martini flute piece was played
quite brilliantly; but I found
too much contrast between the
very lovely. almost straight
tone of the pianissimo passages
and the heavy vibrato and
breathiness of the louder spots.
Miss Hassell was an excellent
collaboration, particularly on
the piano. The program was
well attended, ard was warmly
appreciated by the audience.

A chamber music program
of unusual interest was pre-
sented last evening at Catholic
University by three talented
musicians. David Gilbert, flute
Don Hefner, oboe, and Mar
garet Hassell, harpsichord
Joined forces to present q
set Of five dances by the 18th
century Austrian organist, Paul
Peuerl, and a trio sonata by
Vivaldi.
These were separated by two
modern sonatas, one for flute
and piano by Martini, the
other for oboe and piano by
Hindemith.
The Peuerl dances we're ar
unfortunate choice, and were
not played very well. These
pieces should be played By
strings or by baroque winds

A camera that can take 8
million pictures a second has
been developed at the Army's
Engineer Research and Devel-
opment Laboratory at Fort
Belvoir, Va. An ordinary movie
camera takes, at mos t,
about so.
Actually only an ordinary
camera is used but it is
equipped with an extremely
complex synchronization sys-
tenn devised by Pvt. lie Harold
r. Carey Of Fort Belvoir. 1t is
considered a vital tool in a
research program to provide
better explosives and explosive
techniques.
The camera is being used by
the Mine Warfare branch of
the laboratory to photograph
explosions in q 12-foot steel
spherical blast chamber de-
signed to muffle the explosion
so that adjacent buildings will
not be damaged.
The photographs enable
scientists to study the ply
steal forces set off within ex-
plosives as they detonate under
various conditions. Since the
defamation is over in a few
millionths Of a second only q
Enthusiastically fast camera car
record its progress.
With the help of these de-
tailed photographs, says ar
Army report on this extra
ordinary development, new
techniques for utilizing explo-
sives will be developed, some
of which may revolutionize use
Of explosives in nuclear as well
as conventional warfare.
The synchronization system
developed by Pvt. 1/c Carey in
cludes two 5000 volt pulsers
for coordination the action of
the camera with the explosion.
These are timed to fire at a
precise instant during the rota-
ton Of a turbine which spins
an optical mirror at a rate of
$500 revolutions per second.
The turbine is run by high
pressure nitrogen gas and bril-
liant Illumination is obtained
by decorating an auxiliary ex-

plosive charge in a tube Of
argon gas. The shutter is closed
by another explosive charge
which stops the passage Of

The camera Is capable of
providing pictures either in
black and white or color. 1t is
being used now only in the
explosives studies. Eventually,
however, it is expected to be
adaptable to other types Of re-
search requiring high speed
photography.

The Arts of Propaganda

Senator Fulbright has hit pay dirt
in his investigation of the operations Of
the Hamilton Wright Organization in
behalf of such clients as Mexico, South
Africa and Nationalist China. We say
this while acknowledging that Our own
fingers have been burned bit in han
ding some of the Hamilton Wright
material.
The photos, stories and so forth put
out by the Wright organization, so far
as we are concerned, were innocuous
enough But the point which Senator
Fulbright is bringing out so effectively
is that this public relations firm was
working in behalf of foreign govern
mentS and was being paid for 1t. Ham
ilton Wright was also setting up such
things as red carpet" trips to foreign
countries, which most reputable news
papers long ago learned to avoid. The
proper moral to draw from the Full
bright inquiry is that any material re-
ceived for publication from any public
relations organization should be scruti-
nized with utmost care-not only to
determine whether 1t is propaganda,
which Of course 1t is, but also in the
last analysis to ascertain who is really
paying for 1t. a,

Romantic Off Beot

In recent weeks there have been
curious goings-on between the Soviet
Union and Romania. The latter, to
borrow a phrase from TV, has not
been acting like good satellite should.
Thus the RomanianS have done the
following, among other things: ~ They
have published a summary of Peking'S
letter attacking the Kremlin-a letter
openly condemned and suppressed in
Moscow. (2) They have restored ambas-
Sadorial relations with Albania, Red
China'S Sleazy little puppet in Europe.
And (3) they have left little room for
doubt that they will run their economy
their own way despite Soviet efforts
to impose a rigid, Moscow directed
system upon them and all the other
satellites.
In terms Of trying to figure out the
Moscow eStrangement, this
last point probably is the most impor-
tant of all. Romania has been doing
very well economically. More than any
other Soviet satellite, it is experiencing
an industrial boom. And it seems de-
termined to resist the Kremlin's efforts
to make it "integrate" its economy with
the Communist bloc as whole. The
Romanians do not want to be retarded
or swallowed up by Big Brother.
Nor does the Bucharest regime
behave as If it were in Red China's
pocket. 1t apparently favors Khru-
shchevS policy of peaceful co-existence
"a fact suggested by the friendly talk"
a Romanian military mission has just
had with the Premier in Moscow.
If there is any conclusion to be
drawn, it may be that the Romanian
performance reflects the breakdown Of
cohesion in international communism.
From our point of view, Of course, this
sort of go-it-alone attitude is much to
be applauded.

Railroad Warning

The men who make the decisions
for the operating railroad unions ought
to take time between now and July 20
to read the comments addressed to them
by Senators Morse and JavitS.
These Senators are friends Of labor
in the dedicated sense of the word. But
they are not blind friends. They are well
aware Of the intolerable damage that
railroad strike could inflict on the coun-
try and they know that Congress would
have to act to protect the public inter-
est. So they are strongly urging the union
leaders to accept voluntary arbitration,
and these leaders had better think long
and hard about it before the July 30
deadline rolls around.
The unions have suggested that
to accept the Presidents appeal for vol
untary arbitration would lead to COM
pulsory arbitration. Senator Morse de-
molished that argument. And although
indicating that he would be extremely
reluctant to vote for compulsory arbitra-
ton, he said he could conceive of set
of circumstances in which the public in
tereSt could be so damaged as the result
of an economic war carried on between
the carriers and the brotherhoods that
it would be necessary to use some form
of compulsion to protect the public in
tereSt in the operation of the railroads"
Senator Javits, favoring seizure in
event of a strike, said, 81 hope shall
never have to vote for compulsory arbi-
tration." He warned the union heads,
however, that they may face the very
unhappy alternative of having ma
jority in the CongreSS-whatever the
Senator from Oregon or might feel and
however we might vote-prefer COM
pulSory arbitration"
Our own preference for compulsory
arbitration in event of a strike has al
ready been clearly stated. We urge it
without any handwriting or equivo-
cation. OF course, no one would expect
Senators Morse and Javits to share this
view. But the statements which they
have made raise plain Stop, Look and
Listen signal. The brotherhoodS will be
very foolish if they fail to heed it.

Lower Freiqht Rates

The railroads are willing
and able to share the bene-
fits Of improved technology
with the shipping public in
lower freight rates. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission
says mo-" Subsidized new
corners in transportation by
truck and barge may have to
return TO the railroads some
traffic stolen from them with
ICC connivance.
The Interstate Commerce
Act Of 1887 was intended 10
insure that shippers get their
moneys worth from the rail-
roads without discrimination.
Present day commissioners
have assumed rigid control
over all railroad rates, some
truck rates and q few barge
rates. They have abused this
authority to arbitrarily allo-
cate traffic to the various
models regardless of eff
cheney or lack thereof.
AS usual, you and I pay the
bill. Deregulation Of certain
minimum freight rates Is be-
ing considered by Congress.
Let US free transportation
from the grip Of bureaucrats.

Ho-Hum Primary

G, The relaxed, almost apathetic atti-
tude Of Virginia voters toward the Dem
ocratic primary this week was especially
pronounced in Northern Virginia, and
not, we think, due to any lack Of good
citizenship. The more probable cause
was the absence of burning issues. More
specifically, for example, racial integra-
ton for the first time in a long while
was virtually unidentifiable as factor
in the conteSts-an indication Of grow
ing maturity in the suburbs which is
wholly welcome.
In most of the local areas, this was
a time Of Solidifying party strength. For
the most part, we think the choices were
sound. The nomination of Omer L. HirSt,
particularly, will give the Democrats
fine candidate for one of two State
Senate seats from Fairfax-FallS Church.
A liberal, Mr.. Hirst has often proved his
effectiveness in the past. His more con-
sentative running mate, Robert G. Fitz-
gerald, likewise has much to offer.
In neighboring Alexandria the Dem
ocratS showed even less concern for
liberal-conservative labels - reaching
into the far right wing Of the party
to re-nominate James M. Thomson for
one of the city's seats in the House of
Delegates, and looking well to the left
to select Mrs. Marion G. Galland for the
other What this shows as to the voters
attitude, we wouldn't have a clue-ex-
cept that they do seem more concerned
at the moment with personalities than
with issues.

Don't Chance 1t

There is nightmariSh unreality to
the plans being laid for the proposed
march on Washington by 100000 civil
rights demonstrators next month. God
knows it will take some planning to
handle the situation If any such crowd
descendS on the city; in that sense,
perhaps, some slight measure of en-
couragement can be drawn from the
obvious concern of the Negro leaders and
the precautions being proposed But the
basic concept of this affair is so mis-
guided that it is almost impossible to
believe the discussions are serious.
The organizers Of the march have
everything to lose and nothing to win.
Even If it is executed in perfect order,
this stunt will not improve by one iota
the chances of effective civil rights
legislation.
On the other hand, If serious ex-
plosion should occur here in the Ma
TONS Capital, under these circum-
stances, untold damage would be done
to the just cause Of the Negro. And no
group of leaders, however long they plan,
can guard against the possibility of an
outbreak The NAACP convention in
Chicago has just provided an object les
son as to how few agitators can whip
up crowd when emotions run high.
Who is to say, moreover, that the pri-
mary danger on August % would be the
behavior of the civil rights marchers?
The vast majority of WashingtonianS
can be counted on to take the demon
Stration in stride, but no more than a
half dozen itinerant rednecks could
touch off the spark.
1t is our belief that responsible Ne
gro leaders know these things, and wish
the proposed march could be averted.
But they dare not say so. They are being
pushed by extremist rivals, and by
creSting wave of hySteria. Theirs is
neither an enviable Situation-nor an
enviable responsibility.

Fuzzing Up the Cold War

1t used to be so simple in the good
old days, when Communists were called
BolSheviks and were not only unSpeak-
able and un-American, but unlike any
thing we could even imagine.
Everyone knew they wore boards,
dirty shirts and no neckties, seldom
bathed, lived three families to a room
and practiced such things as free love
and the abolition of private property.
But lately, with the Russians and
their satellites scrabbling determinedly
for the so-called finer things in life, the
picture has become blurred and con-
fusing Except in Cuba, boards are out;
private property is in. And with the
little Injuries of modern living have
come its little headaches as well.
Thus we learn that installment buy
ing is sweeping Poland, and the citizens
are finding out the hard way that down
payments and carrying charges are one
thing in the advertisement and quite
another in the fine print of the sales
contract. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
At the same time, 1t is reported that
the Communist consumers are COM
planning about the quality of their new
gadgets. They break down or wear out,
and it's hard to find skilled workmen
to. repair them. Over here we say, "They
don't make EN- like they used to-" Over
there, of course, they say, 1--WE make 'em
like we didn't used to-" But they still
don't like 1t.
Waste and boondoggling in defense
industries are scandalous, we are told
by Senator Douglas and Pravda:
Premier Khrushchev can't stand
modern art and progressive jazz. Or
was that President Eisenhower, the Law

SofetY-Conscious

In regard to your June 26
article mentioning young
Citizens for Safety" I should
like to make these comments
about the group.
young Citizens for Safe
ty" is no "fly-by-night" or
ganization started by teen
ayers who had nothing bet
ter to do. 1t grew out Of q
genuine concern over the ap-
palling and consistently
growing rate Of traffic
deaths, a concern which
should be shared by all.
This year the organization
will continue to publicize the
many fatalities resulting
from careless driving. One Of
its main purposes is to make
Virginians aware that the
number of traffic deaths re-
ported on the news each
night is not just a group Of
meaningless statistics. Those
numbers represent people
killed by their own careless
ness or their lack of courtesy
on the road.
Young Citizens for Safe
ty" is a smoothly run organ
ization made up entirely OF
teen-agers and depending en-
tirely on voluntary contribu-
lions. Much has been said
about the responsibility and
lawlessness Of youth; this is
one instance in which young
people have found it neces-
sary to take the initiative to
overcome adult apathy and
negligence.

Let Last Be First

Bill Fuchs, in your Sunday
Magazine article, entitled
Sunday Morning." writes:
"But on the Seventh Day, the
people rest from the city and
the city rests from the
people"
Literal Interpretation Of
this one statement does not
suggest that the seventh day
Of the week Is Sunday, but
since the article is about
Sunday morning 1t leaves the
impression, upon the igno-
rant, that Sunday is the sew
enth day Of the week.
Until you can establish,
factually, that Sunday is the
seventh day instead of the
first day Of the week, let's not
present Sunday as the sew
enth day.
I'm q member of the Sew
enth Day Adventist Church
and there are q substantial
number of us who go by the
Bible and keep the seventh
day as Sabbath instead Of
the first.
G. Howard Britain.
Since Sunday is, in fact,
the first day Of the week and
not the seventh day. you
seem to have fallen into
error. To correct your no
tons in this regard, / suggest
that you look at almost
any calendar, even the one on

Taxes Finance u. NJ.

Umpteen million taxpayers
would like to know who is
responsible for taking our
hard-earned tax dollars and
giving them to the United
Nations after they bought
500 million Of worthless U.N.
bonds. 1t was reported that
our Government informed the
U. N. that we were not pay
ing for any more extra as
seSsments, only our regular
dues. Yet, as so often happens
in this administration, they
have again reversed them
selves. Now we are advised
that the American taxpayers
are in hook for AZ per cent of
the U. N. costs until January
! because Russia, and her
satellite nations, owe $72
million in back dues. Who is
responsible for this extra
handout at the American
taxpayers expense?
This administration seems
to forget that the Govern
ment has no money, except
what they take out Of the
American taxpayers pockets
and that we are in debt over
$305 billion. Yet, they con-
tinue to take our taxes and
give them to that glorified
WPA for foreign diplomats.
We are told we pay 80 per cent
Of the cost Of the U. NJ, but
never how much that comes
to in tax dollars. The best
kept secret in Washington
today is how much the U. N.
has cost the American tax
payers since it was organized
IN 1945. Since our American
tax dollars keep the q. N.
going, we have a right to
know who dishes out our tax
money, and how much It is
costing the American tax
payers year after year. II
American taxpayers had a
vote on being in the U. NJ,
or not, we would be rid Of this
useless waste of money before
shutdown and save ourselves
billions.
