strengths, and 1t raised a few
questions.
Significant for its beauties
and for the fluent style in
which 1t was rendered was
the E Minor quartet of Opus
SO. Only the finale had mo-
ments of roughness &C.
casioned by a tempo slightly
faster than the indicated
Presto, as though the ma
chine could not quite make
1t into overdrive.
What went before, though,
was great playing. An OPEN
ing Allegro Of power and
sweep led to a slow move
ment that was all sweet sing
ing, and the brisk lightness
OF the Allegretto was a model
Of precision.
The questions raised in this
concert began with the first
number, the last Of the Opus
IL quaRtets. 1t was attacked
with a brusqueness that was
entirely unexpected, and ra-
Their out of character; only in
the Adagio section of the
last movement was there any
relaxation to speak of. None
OF this seemed to be acct
dental, the performance ap-
pearing to be one over which
thought had been taken, but
1t was rather strange.
That mood also was pres
ent, though to a much lesser
extent, through most of the
C-Sharp Minor quartet.
There is nothing wrong with
passionate playing, especially
OF Beethoven, but it seems
DAD in an all-Beethoven pro-
gram that the passion should
be reserved entirely to early
and late quartets, while a
quartet of the middle period
is played as a model of ele-
CANT style.

Officials from the Naval

for nor against the rezoning-
they Just wanted to warn ev-

is II years old.
According to the Navy

carried out about 1000 feet
from where the rezoning appli.
cant wants to build garden.

tract.
The tract is located on the

Fair Representation.
1t asks the high court to re-
verse a lower court ruling in
the case and return the case
to State courts pending cor
receive action" by the Gen.
eral Assembly to reapportion
both legislative houses.
The Maryland case is one OF
q group of reapportionment
cases that are to be argued be-
for the Supreme Court in No
vember. One of the other cases
involves the Virginia legisla-
ture.
Maryland's highest court
ruled last September, 4 to 8,
that the State Senate does not
have to be related to popula-
ton. A Federal court in Vir-
GINA said that both houses of
that State must be reappor-
toned.
Point to Deadlock
A brief filed today in the
Maryland case by lawyers Al
fred L. Seaman, John B. Wright
and johnson Bowie said "legis-
lative deadlock" results when
the bases of legislative repre-
sentation are mixed in the same
legislative body as they are in
Maryland.
Deadlock resulted on 10 ma
jor items in the 1868 session
Of the Maryland legislature, the
brief said, because of disagree
Inent between a Senate dom
mated by the less populous
areas" and a House more re-
sponsive to the majority will. +"
The brief said the Senate in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-22

the last session ignored or re-
rejected House-passed bills to
outlaw the unit rule in pri-
maries, reapportion Baltimore
legislative districts and increase
public school aid.
On the other hand, the brief
said, the Senate passed a bill
to reapportion only the House
in way that would produce
"even more severe malappor-
tionment" in that body in the
future.
The Senate also approved a
radical" proposal to amend
the Federal Constitution in a
manner that would allow the
by-passing of Congress for fu-
ture Constitutional amend
ments, the brief said.
Effectiveness Challenged
1t said a legislature cannot
operate as an effective instru-
ment Of State government If
1t rests, as is the case in
Maryland, on divergent bases
of population and area repre-
sentation.
In Maryland. 1t said, "a per
cent Of the population can elect
a majority of the House Of
Delegates and IA per cent of the
population can choose a ma
jority of the Senate.
Under all circumstances, the
brief said, representation in at
least one legislative house
should be based exclusively on
population. In the other house,
it said, some slight deviation"
from a strict population stand
ard might be permitted.
