Representative Brock, Repub-

enthusiastic response - except
from his colleagues - to his
suggestion that congressional
pay be cut when the national
budget is In the red.

from all over the country" Mr.
Brock said. THE idea was pref

grin. the idea wasn't exactly
warmly received among my COL
leagues, except for q few new
members who think, like do,
that something should be done
about the out-of- balance budg-

Mr.. Brock proposed a sliding
pay scale for members Of Con-

gress would take q per cent
cut In their $22.50O yearly SAL

German Radio, and the or
chestra's exceptionally high
quality is a good indication OF
the Importance Of radio in the
musical life of postwar Ger
many. For the NDR is a post

the rubble that was Germany

serstedt upon the request OF
the British Occupational
Forces.
German Advantages
Radio orchestraS in Germany
have several advantages over
those in this country. For one
thing. as state-supported insti-
tutions, they can frequently put
art before finances. A difficult
work can be rehearsed as often
as necessary, and performance
Of contemporary works les
pecially by German composers)
is considered a duty and q
privilege.
Thus. modern music is played
frequently by German radio
orchestras, and played we'll.
A fine example Of this on
yesterdays program was the
eloquent NDR performance OF
Hans Werner Henze's Second
Symphony, a work dating back
to l949 which seems to recreate
the tension and pain Of the
war.
Henze is one OF the more
important Of the younger
German composers. He leaped
into international prominence
for the first time only last year
with his very successful opera,
AN Elegy for Young Lovers"

NEWS OF MUSIC
NDR Concludes D.. Tour

In 1914. when he was lS, he
was drafted into the German
army and was soon afterward
captured by the British. Upon
his release he resumed his
studies; in l949. he moved to
Berlin. 1t is probably not an
exaggeration to say that the
tortured sound Of his Second
Symphony mirror the anguish
Of the then 23-year-old ex-
soldier.
Tends Toward SeriaIism
In his music, Mr.. Henze tends
toward serialism, and the jag
ged lines Of this Savagely dis
sonant but quite moving
youthful work in many respects
reflects the expressionist tone
world Of Arnold Schoenberg.
After the Henze, DR..
Schmidt-Isserstedt turned his
attention to Richard Strauss,
and swept the orchestra
through a marvelously nuanced
and virile performance OF Till
Eulenspiegel. The tone peom
brought forth the best ensemble
OF the afternoon. emerging
with the limpid clarity of Mo-
zart.
In response to the applause,
DR.. Schmidt-Isserstedt offered
the overture to Die Meister-
singer as encore.
Weighing the concert as q
whole, I do not think that the
HDR was having one Of Its best
afternoons. This Is without
question q first-rate orchestra,
and DR.. Schmidt-IsserStedt Is
without q question o first-rate
conductor. but only the Henge
and the Strauss really showed
how good they are, and before
the intermission the ensemble
was decidedly ragged.
Musical disappointment

Concerto (Which served to show
off the prowess Of some Of the
first-chair men. and especially
that Of Adolf Scherbaum, per-
haps the greatest living Bach

right, and the individual per-
formances were fine, but the

a candidate achieves the required majority.
 Until the new Pope is announced, the only clue to the progress of the voting will be Wisps of smoke from a thin, round chimney thrust through a window of the Sistine Chapel
 According to a tradition which has become accepted during the past century, puff of white smoke is supposed to signal that a new Pope has been elected. The smoke is, from ballots which are burned in a small stove in the chapel after each round of voting. If a Pope has been elected, only the ballots are burned. In no can- didate has received the required majority, a little damp straw is supposed to be added and the smoke is supposed to come out black.
 The signal system hardly is fool proof. Despite the addition Ot the straw, great pillows of white smoke shot from the chimney on the first day of voting in 1858. Vati- can radio announced erroneously that a Pope had been elected.
 The next day the cardinals added petroleum by-product to the burning ballots to make sure the smoke would come out black.
 Three days later, Angelo Giusep- pc Cardinal Roncalli, elderly pa triarch of Venice, received the re- quired majority from the conclave of 51 cardinals. Then there was a tiny wisp of smoke, but none could say for certain whether it was white or black.
 The hustle of activity on the balcony of St. Peters ended the doubts.

US. Threatens to Increase Duties on Goods from Europe

WASHINGTON R - The United States is threatening to increase duties on goods from Europe if the Common Market goes through with plans to raise the tariff on US. poultry.
 The market intends to raise poultry duties from 13 to 1412 cents a pound. Christian Herter, President Kennedy's trade nego- tiator said Friday: I've are par ticularly shocked by this action since we have been working pa- tiently for a reduction rather than a hike in tariff walls"
 The United States will seek bet ter access for it's poultry into the markets six nations, Herter said. Failure to achieve better terms, he said, would call for our in- sisting on balancing compensa- ton elsewhere in our trade eX- changes"
 Such balancing could take the form of raising US. tariffs on other items imported from the Common Market.

Successor of Pope John Will Be
 Elected at Secret Conclave of Cardinals

VATICAN CITY R - The suc- cessor to Pope John XXIII will be elected at secret conclave of the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church.
 With the death of the Pope, the princes of the church will come to Rome from all parts of the Christian world. In two to three weeks they will barricade them selves in the Sistine Chapel and the adjoining Vatican apartments.
 They will not emerge from the tightly guarded conclave area until a new Pope - almost certainly one of their own numbers, elected by a majority of two-thirds of the cardinals present.
 There is no foretelling how long the conclave might last. The cleo ton of Pope Plus XIII in 1889 took 20 hours. Pope John was elect ed on the 18th ballot in a four-day conclave in 1858. The conclave that elected Prope Gregory x in 1271 took two years and nine months-the longest on record.
 With the election of the new Pontiff-who will be regarded by Catholics as the 262nd Vicar of Christ on earth and a direct suc- cessor to St. Peter-a cardinal dea- con will appear on the central bal cony of St. Peters to announce to the great crowd in the square below:
 ''Nuntia vobis gaudiun magnum: Hambemus papam-I announce to you tidings of great joy. We have a Pope.'
 The cardinal deacon will an- nounce the name. Then the new Pope will step into view, garbed in newly tailored papal -vestments, and slowly raise his hands in benediction.
 The method of electing the Pope evolved over many centuries.
 St. Peter received his mission directly from Jesus Christ. During the first three centuries of Chris tianity the bishops of Rome, who
The Nome nugget., 1963-06-03

are the popeS, chose their sue cessors, sometimes with the ad- vice of bishops of nearby sees. From the time of the council of Antioch in 341 until the 9th Gen. tury, synods were held to take the vote of clergy and faithful, which led the way to considerable lay meddling.
 Even after the cardinals won the right to elect the Popes they were subject to interference. They also found the task difficult be- cause of their own differences. To prod them, the Franciscan Monk Bonaventure suggested in 1868 that the cardinals be locked up and given skimpy rations of food and water until they made up their minds.
 In some conclaves of the past, rugged constitution was a dis tinct asset for the cardinals. A sur vivor of a conclave in 1241 wrote:
 They dragged us into conclave, grabbing us by our hands and feet and beating us as though we were thieves"
 After 50 days, during which one of the 10 cardinals at the conclave died and two others fell ill, Pope Selestino " was elected. He died 12 days later.
 A wing of the Vatican Palace will be given over to the coming conclave. With about 200 aides, the cardinals will remain under lock and key virtual prisoners - until they have chosen Pope Johns successor. Each cardinal will have small apartment of three rooms in which he will live with his conclave secretary and personal servant. The apartments will be outfitted with beds, tables and chairs-little more.
 The voting will take place in the Sistine Chapel beneath the famous fresco of the Last Judg- ment of Michelangelo. The cardl- nals will sit on little thrones, un- der silken canopies, along the walls of the chapel. In front of each will be a desk with silver ink wells and quill pens.
 If the procedure remains un- changed from the conclave that elected Pope John, the cardinals will cast ballots twice each morn ing and twice each afternoon until
