Wagner Trying
Anew in Strike

NEW YORK. Feb. IS tAP).-
Newspaper publishers, their
talks with striking printers
deadlocked, conferred last night
with five non-striking unions
whose members also have been
made idle by the city's news
paper blackout.
AS the shutdown of the city's
nine major newspapers went
into the 18th week, Mayor
Robert F. Wagner scheduled a
resumption of the City Hall
mediation effort that collapsed
last Monday after II days of
near continuous talks.
Mayor Wagner said he plan
ned to meet with publishers
Monday and with a repre-
sentative" group of newspaper
unions not later than Tuesday
subcommittee of the Pub
fishers Association of New York
City and the Newspaper Unity
Committee met in closed ses-
sion yesterday and last night
to discuss contract differences,
The association represents the
nine closed dailies. The unity
committee is made up of Off
GERS of the 10 newspaper unions
here.
While nearly 10000 news
paper people have been idled
from their regular jobs here
for II days, another 5000 also
are out of work in Cleveland
Ohio. by strikes against that
city's two dailies. The Plain
Dealer and the Press g. News
have not printed for ~ days.
One of the five Cleveland
unions on strike-the ALL
Clio newspaper guild-has ac-
cepted conditionally a two
year contract proposal offered
by management of both papers
Tuesday. Plain Dealer guilds
men gave conditional approval
yesterday of what management
termed its final offer. Press &
News guildsmen gave condi-
tional approval earlier.

Knoll has been an honored
name in United States chamber
music for more than three dec
AIDES. The leader was first violin
in the well-remembered Cool
idge Quartet. as well as the
group which now bears his
name. and If memory serves.
there was once a Knoll Sextet,
also.
There is a relaxed style, an
eaSinesS of manner, in the play
ing of this group which derives
directly from their leader. His
fiddle held higher than one is
accustomed to seeing the in
strument played, Mr.. Knoll con-
trives at all times to give the
impression that he has invited
a few friends in to join him in
chamber music. The invitation,
however, was a highly selective
one
Staples on the program were
Haydn. the penultimate of the
Opus "a set which carries the
likely title. The Lark" and
Beethoven, the first of the
three quartets he dedicated
to Count Rasoumovsky. Re-
strained, courtly playing was
characteristic Of the perform
ance Of both works.
Walter Piston represented
the moderns, with a work writ
ten only last year. Strongly
made, in three fast-slow-fast
movements. it has a contempo-
raneous quality that is more of
the spirit than Of overt reach
ing for. far-out effects. 1t was
effectively played.
1t is doubtful that anyone
left the hall at intermission
humming thematic material
from the Piston. They might
well have gone out humming
the Theme Russo from the
Beethoven at the end Of the
concert. This theme, indeed
the entire quartet, has often
been heard in that hall played
with more brio. but the men of
the Kroff Quartet have a
graceful and persuasive way
with it.

High School Quality

Another big trouble was Paul
Galloway. who displayed such
driving. nervous inflexibility in
his conducting that an unpleas-
ant note Of tension crept into
the proceedings. In this piece,
ROSSini's Accomplishments are
Of the Oom-pah variety; atten-
ton is focused squarely on the
singer. The orchestra must fol-
low. or there Is trouble. Mr.. CAL
laway found 1t impossible to
bend the instrumentalists to the
singers, and the result was not
happy.
The lighting in the thunder

curious high school dramatics"

which was far from one Of its
most outstanding. There were
so many things wrong with 1t
that it would take far more
space than is available here
to completely itemize its flaws.
Among the most serious
was the casting of Loren Dris-
coll in the role of Almaviva,
something which came close TO
being a thoroughgoing disaster.
Mr.. Driscoll is a veteran in
Opera Society productions. and
he has done yeoman work in
smaller roles. He also has a
flair for comedy and is a good
looking youngster. But he has
a dreadful tendency to bleat
and to Groom. and his singing
last night was painful in the
extreme.

| UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Feb. l6 (AP) 1.-The United Ma
lions Special Fund. criticized in
Washington for going ahead
with a project for aid to Cuba,
is reported to be studying a
Cuban application for another
project.
Diplomatic sources said the
application called for assistance
TO the chronological faculty OF
Havana University. Presumably
this would take the form Of
foreign administrators or teach
ers. No estimate was available
as TO the cost.
The informants said Cuba
filed the application last fall
through its United Nations
delegation. They said the fund
told the delegation 1t was not
in time to be taken up a the
meeting OF Managing Director
Paul O. Hoffman's consultative
committee Thursday and would
have TO wait until next october.
That committee advises Mr..
Hoffman, an American, which
projects to recommend TO the
funds governing councils for
approval.
Confirmation withheld
A spokesman for the fund
declined to confirm or deny
that a Cuban application was
pending. The spokesman ex-
planned that 10 avoid the revel-
alton OF any rebuffs 10 appli-
cants. the fund did not disclose
any project applications until
the Governing Council has APP
proved them.

MASON ON EDUCATION
Honest Grading
Best for Pupil
Dear DR.. Mason:

Dear DR.. Mason:
I have been told that wher
there is a choice Of grades, Il
is better to mark low. That 9
u instead of a c grade or 6
c instead Of a B will stimulate
a child to work harder.
It has been my personal ex.
'perience that a disappointment
In grades leads to drop-outs Of
a why bother to try?" attitude
On the other hand, a high
grade, even when 1t is not fully
deserved, makes a child more
interested in the subject, more
sure Of himself and he con-
tinues to do we'll.
Several of us would like
your opinion on this.
E. c., Syracuse, N. Y.
The grade In any subject
should reflect performance ir
that subject as nearly as
possible.
The manipulation of grades
to stimulate the student to
work harder can not be
justified.
Many items enter into the
pattern Of influences in eacf
child's life. A lower grade might
stimulate a college student OF
perhaps a few below that level
In my experience this practice
seldom works at the junior high
level.
Let's keep our grading hon.
est and stimulate students
through legitimate procedures
Dear DR.. Mason:
! am very disturbed over my
son who is l3 and in the eighth
grade. He brings home very low
grades In all subjects.

/ 1t is not unusual for a boy
to resist following the line of
conformity so natural to his
older sisters. This phase" will
not pass unless your son takes
charge of his own life and does
something about 1t.
Some adult outside the FAM
lily may have more influence
than teachers or members of
the family. He already had de-
veloped a resistance to such
advice. A respected neighbor, or
the family doctor might help
him to accept responsibility for
his own life.

Usage Of Computers

their practices with other ply
sicians in other hospitals.
The most basic project be-
ing conducted in the entire
medical computation field is
one in the newly established
bio-medical computer center at
Tulane University.
This project is concerned
with the problems of collecting
individual medical records, put
ting them into a form that
can be stored in the computer
and working out a technique
for getting the information
quickly back from the COM
puter when needed.
The program, the first Of It's
kind in the United States, is
designed to provide to prac-
ticing physicians and medical
investigators, almost instantly,
complete medical records OF
their patients.
Tape Saves Space
The storage and retrieval
system techniques we're devel-
oped by DR.. Joseph e. Schen-
thai. project director, and DR.,
James Sweeney, director Of the
Tulane Computer Center, In an
intensive three-year pilot
study. 1t involved the design OF
forms and codes which make II
possible to put medical records
Of individual patients on tape
for storage and reference.
Through such coding, the
medical records Of as many as
900 persons can be recorded
on a single 2,400-foot roll OF
tape. Written records which
would take up an entire floor
Of q block-wide building car
be stored on tape in one single
three-drawer filing cabinet.
Although at present the pro-
gram is geared to providing
patient information to practic-
ing physicians and research In
vestigators as a supplement tc
written records, DR.. Schenthal
believes that eventually COM
puter tapes may completely
supplant certain written record
keeping.
