] Edgar Hoover, referring to Soviet employees of the United Nations:

ENJOYS Of the international Communist conspiracy trained in trickery
and deceit and dedicated to the concept of fully exploiting the freedoms
of the countries they seek to destroy. II tt S too much to expect that they
would not subvert the United Nations"
Senator Thomas J Dodd in senate speech on Soviet espionage in Y. N
"On the record, IL Soviet u N. representatives and U N. employees have
been discovered spying against the U. = four in one recent month" He
concludes that every Soviet u N. representative or employe must be con-
sdered a potential spy.
Lord Beaverbrook, British publisher: "Fere in New York City you
Americans have the biggest fifth column in the world = the United
Nations"
We believe that the United Nations does not serve the interest of the
United States and that we should get out of the U.N. and then get the

Story TeHers

Three other Caedmon rec
ords should please those who
enjoy the story-teller's art.
Imagine Lotte Lenya reading
stories of Frank Kafka in
English! Known principally
for her work in the musicals
Of her late husband (Kurt
WeilD, Miss Lenya's lusty,
dramatic voice is perfect for
Kafka's nightmarish stories:
A Hunger Artist, An I'm
perial Message. A Fratricide,
The Cares Of a Family Man.
Up in the Gallery, A Dream
and The Bucket Rider.
For the other extreme,
there are the stories of
Katherine Mansfield - bro
caded vignettes such as The
Garden Party and Bliss,
which Celia johnson reads
with understanding on
another Caedmon disk. And
then. on a third record, the
delightful Parker stories

Also on the Caedmon side:
a three-record album against
London's four.
London also is out with
a new version of the famed
Much Ado About Nothing on

George Rylands, are most Of

formidable cast, including
names as familiar as John
Gielgud and Peggy Ashcroft,
as well as William Squire,
Michael Hordern, Patrick
Creean, Josephine Stuart,
Gary Watson, Peter Wood
thrope and Ian Holm.
While for the most part
the casting seems excellent,
a fault is found in the swift
movement of some of the ac-
ton, and an insufficient
pause between scenes, lead
ing to some confusion, even
when following text.

Buder GuIIeY

The Franz Bader Gallery
has begun its new year with
a new painter, Anita Buch-
erer, a young German girl
now living in New York. Miss
Bucherer is in her mid
twenties and this is her first
one-man show. She is equally
removed from the current
preoccupations of New York
painting and German paint
ing, but she relates to an old
European tradition that has
continuing validity. Within 1t
she operates as we'll as any
one now working, in part be-
cause her aims are more
modest than those of, say,
Balthus.
She presents about 80 small
drawings, the majority of
them colored with some waxy
substance which plays a role
in the general air of mystery
and unease that permeates
the work.
She draws quite we'll when
1t suits her purpose, creating
a fully modelled face with
regular features. But invari-
ably the eyes will be Just off.
They glance to one side, as If
waiting some expected doom,
The effect is heightened by
the color, which glows amid a
great deal of black line
scratched all over until it has
become the murky air of her
private world.
Then again she draws more
loosely, sometimes suggesting
Klee, and presents almrJt
cartoon figures seen in some
strange charade. Eastern
crowned bishops appear,
often carrying chains as if
they we're sacred vessels. The
figures appear to be grown
up children dressed up for
games that envision a re-
ality too dreadful to be seen
directly. There is no action.
There is no movement. The
actors are living statues end
that, too, becomes a silently
hideous destiny.

NEW ARTS BILL
Representative William B.
Widnall, Republican of New
Jersey, plans to introduce a
new bill to establish a white
House Music and Art Prize
for Young Artists" shortly
after Congress reconvenes,
apparently with the approval
of the White House.
The idea of a music prize
for young artists was orig
inally advanced by Pierre Sa-
linger at a National SYM
phony Orchestra luncheon on
March 8, 1861. 1t is reported
that pledges of money for the
project have been received at
the White House from pri-
Vate sources.
Mr.. Widnall's original plan
called for annual competi-
tions. However, due to a sug-
gestion from Mr.. August
Heckscher, the Presidents
Special Consultant on the
Arts, his proposed legislation
was amended to call for bien-
NAL competitions.
The music contest would be
held In cooperation with the
National Cultural Center. In
his letter to Mr.. Widnall,
Mr.. Heckscher expressed the
hope that "the National Gull
tural Center will begin activi-
ties of this sort even before
its buildings are completed"

mitri ShOstakOvich, a Rus
sian composer who has had
bad press in his homeland in
the past for decadent ten
denotes, and equally bad press
in the word outside during
recent years because his mu-
sic was too conformist, re-
ceived a standing ovation in
Moscow a few weeks ago at
the premier of his 18th SYM
phony, a five-movement work
based on poems by Yevgeny
YevtushenkO. Reports of the
performance indicate that
the symphony satisfies every
body, including Western crit
les who have deplored that
ShoStakovich recently has
failed to write up to his tai
ent. Another Strauss
has gone out into the world,
at least the Far East portion
Of it. Edward Strauss, great
great-grandson of j. Strauss,
ST., and granddaughter of j.
Strauss, jr., has toured Japan
and South Korea, conducting
native orchestras in programs
of works by his famous an
cestors. Waltz, anyone?
The late conductor Bruno
Walter left his library, per-
Sonal notes, scores. sheet
music and recordings to the
Vienna Music Academy.
There will be a special Bruno
Walter Room set up to house
the collection, and it will be
accessible to music teachers
and students. Those of us
who can't travel that far can
enjoy his impressive work on
many, many recordings with
various orchestras. Don't
stop your boy from playing
jazz, or even twist music.
According to a recent survey
conducted by North Texas
State College, high school
music directors generally
agree that students who play
jazz advance in overall mu-
sical proficiency, including
the playing of f'classical music,
and with 33 million Amer
leans now swinging away In

desirability Of increased rec
ognition Of those participat-
ing In the exchange program.
The existing incentives trav-
ell, opportunity to serve the
national interest, monetary
compensation, enhancement
of professional reputation are
important but not enough.
In addition, the program
should have IAN aura Of
greater value, and the dis
tinction that springs from
the recognition of excellence"
To achieve this laura Of
greater value" 1t was urged
that the American public be
told more about the program.
Perhaps one Of the great
weaknesses, as we'll as a ma
jor source Of uniformed
criticism. is the lack Of broad
knowledge or understanding
by the American people of the
program and its purposes"
said the report. What seems
to be vitally needed is full
knowledge Of the nature. pur-
pose and character of the
Cultural Presentations Pro-
gram among Americans -
knowledge that, properly pre-
sented, could result in an
image with a strong appeal
