e o m p q 5 5 pOl1tS can trace
many. Of their differences to
the rise Of the two main early
branches of Christianity. A
glimpse Of the East can be
had in the show at the Wal
tiers.
Ancient Lands
Geography is involved, as it
usually is. So is history
Byzantium and Armenia were
ancient countries, long-estab-
lished parts of civilization,
when they became Christian.
The peoples Of the north were
new in a sense, wandering no
mands who were just settling
down in the German forests,
along the rivers Of France
and in Britain. In the green,
we'll watered, all-but-virgin
forests Of the north, the tribes
who became Western Chris
tianity used to worship trees.
To the east of the Mediterra-
mean, in a dry land Of desert
and mountain, the long-civil-
lied pagans who beca m e
Eastern Christianity used to
worship the sun.
That difference is clear in
the manuscript Examinations.
In the W e stern miniatures
with which we are more IA
miliar-in the Books of Hours
Of France, for inStance-we
are accustomed to a certain
intimate tenderness which Of
ten expresses itself in humor
and self-awareness. Example:
One Western manuscript at
the Walters was married by
the scribe's absent minded
ness in skipping a line while
copying; rather than throw
away the sheet, he copied the
missing line along the bottom
Of the page, then drew a long
arm out Of the place Of error
and showed it reaching down
to the bottom to pick up the
line and put it back where it
belonged. The idea is not only
funny; it also hows the
scribe conscious Of his job as
scribe, as medium between
the sacred text and the read
er. More generally: The West
ern pages are often wreathed
in Towering branches, as if
they had come out Of a rather
playful forest inhabited by al
most human animals and by
branch e S quite capable Of
turning into arms and legs.
The Difference
There is nothing at all like
that in the Eastern illumina-
tons now on view at the Wal
tiers. The earliest work shown,

Mount Vernon

The latest educational inSti-
tuition to establish a perma-
nent art presence on the prem
ises is Mount Vernon Junior
College and Seminary. A long
gallery with one curving wall,
the others straight, has paint
ings by faculty members Leon
ard Maurer, Hilda Shapiro
and small sculpture by Hattie
Kennedy. Of the latter there
is a particularly sensitive
child's head worth n otin 6.
Miss Shapiro's painting is as
exuberant as ever, a gay but
guided laying about with
brushstrokes in limited groups
of coIors. Leonard Maurer's
work includes several paint
ings made during his last
summers visit to Japan. He
manages the considerable feat
of suggesting the country in a
night view Of the Tokyo air.

frames the Vigrin and Child
in decoration but it Is all
strictly geometrical-circles,
crosses, lozenges.
A later page painting, a Ma
tivity, is reproduced here.
This subject, perhaps the
most widely used in Western
art, is marvelously composed
in the space, but there is no
hint of the tenderness that has
been inseparable from it in
the West. Virgin and Child
are both sacred personages,
the Virgins hand raised in a
gesture Of blessing and in
structiOn, the Child, although
new born, already presented
with the gaze Of majesty.
The shepherds approach in
the manner of making formal
sacrifice to the divinity. The
two trees rise up out Of the
rock as If they were them
selves rock projections.
The aweful majesty Of God
is the permeating note of the
Nativities at the Walters and,
secularized, that note still
characterizes the attitude Of
the Russian toward his rulers.
The select exhibition, by CIV
ing us a place to stand on
apart from the history we
ourselves descend from can
teach us much about the orr
gins of Western art, but it can
even more Importantly give
us an i m m e d ate, visual
awarenesS of an East that did
not fall with C0nStantinople
but moved to Holy Russia.
And Take In PeaIe
If you get over to Baltimore
between now and Twelfth
Night, the duration Of the
Walters show, try to find time

ily's. And the Baltimore Mu-
scum is showing a print ret
respective of Antonio Frasco-
nj which is expected in Wash
ington some time next year.

Educational and Charitable
Trust each gave $500, 200.
While the windfaIl (Which
doubtless will mean freedom
from deficit for the Pittsburgh
Symphony was not a direct
gift from industry, its init
mate connection with big bust
ness is self-evident and open.
Interestingly e nough, the
donors are following the lead
of those advocating Federal
subsidy by STIMULATING that
their gift be matched within
the next five years by the
Pittsburgh Symphony Society.
If the endowment were thus
doubled, the orchestra could
well displace one Of the Big
Three.
In accepting the gift on the
donors terms, Charles DENLY,
president of the Pittsburgh
Symphony Society, pointed
out that even though the en-
dowment was a turning point
in the orchestra's history,
members, friends and sup
porters Of the society should
not conclude that its financial
and artistic future was as
sured and that they could re-
lax their efforts.
H. ]. Heinz II, chairman Of
the H. ]. Heinz Co., speaking
for the donors, specified two
additional conditions:
"The society must continue
to enlist regular annual finan-
cial support from the com
munity at large, not only to
supplement the endowment
income, but also to demon
strate that maintenance of tht
orchestra is truly disired b.
the community.
1.-THE society must not rela,
its efforts to m a intain il
Pittsburgh a major symphony
orchestra of the highest cali
ber."
The endowment fund is Il
be administered as a com.
pletely separate unit, distinct
from the normal Embarrassing
activities of the society.
It would seem that the sal
walton of our own National
Symphony Orchestra might be
sought in a similar manner.
Perhaps the thinking of the
special committee set up to
cope with the local problem is
along the lines of endowment.
Surely, the deficit inherent
in contemporary symphony
orchestra and opera company
activity must be met either
by endowment or throug h
some form of subSidy-and
both approaches must be
predicated upon the wide pub
lie support the Pittsburgh do
nors correctly insist upon.
And to emphasize the paral-
lei, it need merely be pointed
out that the Pittsburgh Sym
phony's budget is approx
mately 81 million annually
and its deficit is betwe e n
$15O,0OO and $2OO,0OO-a de-
scription which fits the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra to
a T.

The dispute b etwee n the

sources doubted that there
would be any season at all,
much less one that would
open on time, the differences

ments which, probing deep
into the meaning Of Bach,
produce what must be the
most authentic Of interpreta-
tons.
The Bach Program
On this record are heard
the Toccata and Fugue In d
minor, Fantasia and Fugue in
G minor, and the Preludes
and Fugues in F minor, C
major and G major. II Is
great Bach played by a great
man.
And certainly not to be over
looked in the reissue field
is RCA Victor's twO-record
album of three ch a m b er
works played by Artur Rubin
stein, Jascha Heifetz and
Emanuel Feuermann. Consid-
ering the places Rubinstein
and Heifetz hold in the music
armament, these recordings
Of 1871 must be regarded
as historic. For within a few
months, Cellist Feuermann's
brilliant career suddenly was
cut off at the age Of 40.
Their trios on these records
are among the most loved
Beethoven's Trio in F flat
(Archduke), Brahms Trio in
B, opus 8, and Schubert's Trio
in B flat, opus SO.
Brilliant Playing
For the most part, the
sound is so good the most ar
dent hi-fi-philes will have to
be satisfied. Why? Because
the playing is so affecting
that the tenderness of the
slow movements, the dancing
sprightliness Of the fast ones,
the complete involvement Of
these great artists will domi-
nate everything.
One more from the past,
this time a symphony: Bruck-
ner's final one, the Ninth in D
minor. Deutsche Ora m m o.
phon has brought out the his
toric live performance Of 1914
with wilhelm Furtwaengler
conducting the Berlin Philhar-
monte.
It is something no Bruck-
nerite should miss. Furtwaen-
gler was the most ardent Of
Bruckner's disciples, in fact
the Ninth was the first work
he conducted at the age of 20.
So all the nobility and tower
ing architecture Of this work
comes through In its full mag
nificence. Again, the quality
of sound is good enough that
the music is all that matters.

Through tomorrow there will
be a chanting priest, a hollow
bull and a silent rooster at
the entrance to the Foyer Gal
lery in the Smithsonian's Nat
ural History Museum.
Near these are many more
ceramic creations free enough
from form that ones imagi-
nation is forced to fend for
itself.
Take the one near the in
formation desk, for instance,
1t is without doubt the Virgin.
Yet there is no face, no color
blue, no child by which to
recognize her. Nevertheless
the smooth, red-brown clay
form, holding only warm dark
ness in a series Of circular
lines, is unmistakable.
This and the many other
creations in clay are part of
the ninth International Ex-
hibit of Ceramic Art which
closes tomorrow. After that
the Virgin, the priest, the
bull, the rooster will be sent
back to their creators any,
where from Madagascar to

ficient, which it is not, and its
adult residents like myself were
thoroughly satisfied with a
hypothetical self-sufficiency, our
vistas would broaden with the
expanding geographic interest
of our children as they progress
from elementary school to
Broome Junior High to Richard
Montgomery. AS every parent
knows, these youngsters of ours
have a strong attachment to
Rockville, and the stability
which derives from having firm
roots in a "home town" is in
deed a good thing and deserves
nurturing and encouragement.
For us in Twinbrook, then, deep.
ening interest and concern for
the city as a whole merely re-
fleets a growing appreciation
that If all segments of the COM

will more easily be resolved, and
all will stand to benefit there
from.
Looking to the future, I fore
see Rockville continuing to grow
at a rapid pace. Within a very
few years we will have a COM

and we will undoubtedly have
expanded recreational, cultural,
