Music may be immortal, but
musicians aren't. Like anybody
else, they grow old and have to
retire. Most professionals who
devote their lives to playing
in an orchestra aren't very
lucky After the last day comes,
they have a pretty rough time
OF 1t. Pensions for musicians
are still notable for their
scarcity in our country.
The National Symphony,
fortunately, is a recent addi-
ton to the ranks of the major
American orchestras with pen
sion funds. Just last month,
Jacob Wishnow, a veteran
horn-player, become the first
instrumentalist to profit by it.
Others will surely follow.
But pensions cost money. and
the money has to be raised
somehow. Therefore, the en-
tire National Symphony Or
chestra and guest conductor
Morton Gould donated their
services land some 1900 per-
sons paid for their tickets, so
that the pension fund should
be richer.
Everybody had a good time
at the Sheraton-Park Hotel,
too. The affair was a pops con-
cert, during which everybody
sat at tables, took life easy,
ate or drink and listened to
some excellent music excel
lently played.
The first half of the pro-
gram was fairly standard
staple fare; after the inter-
mission. the talent of the
guest conductor was featured.
There are very few people in
the business who are more in
genious and skillful composers
of light music than Mr.. Gould,
and he has a neat musical wit.
His Family Album Suite" with
which the second half began,
was vividly pictorial, evoking
memories of an out
ing in a park, a porch swing on
a summer evening, an old nick
elodeon, a romantic moment,
and Gas grand climax a ride
in a somewhat unpredictable
horseless carriage. Even though
it may not be a deathless
masterpiece. it is extremely
pleasant stuff and its work.
manship is thoroughly admir-
able.
I doubt very much that Mr..
Gould intended the perform
ance Of the Tango and Qua
racha from his "Latin-Amer-
lean Symphonette" as a tribute
to the learned members of the
Inter-American Institute for
Musical Research who con-
cluded their four-day confer
ence at the Library Of Congress
Yesterday, but it was never
theless quite fitting. Despite
its horrible title, the "Sympho-
nette" is one Of Mr.. Gould's
most accomplished works, and
when he is good. he is very
much worth a careful hearing.
The printed program con-
,luded with a suite from Le-
nar's 1.-THE Merry Widow" ar
ranged by Mr.. Gould. This
combined the talents Of a mas
Ter melodist with those Of a
master orchestrator in a man.
1er altogether happy, and Mr..
Gould obliged with two more
of his compositions (the famil-
ar Pavane, and his brilliant
oaraphrase of when Johnny
Comes Marching Home" en-
titled American Salute) as en-
cores.
Next time the National SYM
ohony puts on another Boston
7ops-type show. you should be
IN hand to drink a toast to
hem. 1t is hard to think Of a
more relaxing way to spend a
evening. And If the
proceeds go to the pension
hind en- r1ileh the better.

ASPEN, Colo.-An aus
lander from the steaming
cities and the baking plains
is a little startled when old
time residents in this 5000
foot high valley say, Hot
enough for you " as the
mercury barely creeps past
80. In this dry climate no
body sweats and at night
one hears the thermostat con-
trolled heat go on and
reaches for an extra blanket.
Aspen is one of many
American Shangri-las. above
not only the sweltering Of
summer, but for many Of its
people, beyond the Age Of
Anxieties. The air-strip is
being heightened to accom-
modate DC-3s, and the dusty
gravel road winding over the
great divide at independence
Pass is likely to be entirely
paved, so one cannot vouch
for space and serenity in the
future. But there remains a
certain peace in this kind
of place and it dawns on one
at last that a reason for it is
that so many Of the perma-
nent residents are here by
deliberate, often difficult
choice.
Not all American profess
sional and business people
are caught UP in the rat
race of our time. Here one
finds a group Of exception
ally able young doctors who
have deliberately turned their
backs on far more lucrative
big city practices to build
their little frame houses here,
keep their jeeps in gas and
grease, their fishing gear
cleaned and find time to sit
on a verandah at evening and
watch the gold turn to pur-
pie on the peaks. One meets
the man who quit Wall street
and started the title abstract
business on Main street, the
couple who sold their pros
porous business in upper New
York, headed west in a trail

ment is now spreading not
only to States where Dem
ocrats have been losing, as
Colorado and Ohio, but even
in those they have been win
ming, as California and Wis
consin.
At the same time that Re-
publicans show reviving signs
of life and fight, even in their
own ranks, a sagging DEM
ocratic National Committee
often runs off in several DIFF
ferent directions at once. Its
ineptness at the recent Ma
tional Governors Conference
was startling.
Notwithstanding all the
blueprintS to, modernize the
party by experienced politi-
cal observers like John Nc
Gregor Burns. the President
has made no real effort to
remold its archaic tribalism
into q national action group
in support Of his legislative
proposals and even his re-
election.
The President, of course,
Is heavily engaged running
the country and watching
out for himself. But he has
failed to provide leadership
for the party so that the cleo
ton Of Democratic Senators,
Representatives. Governors
and a host Of other officials
can be assured.

An InoccessibiIity for Shongri-Ios

whether the human foot, the
pack horse, the jeep or the
car are as available to the
millions Of moderate means
as they are to the limited
number Of rich. Only those
willing to undergo dust and
bumps and some fatigue to
enter the Shangri-las Of
America are likely to treat
the Shangri-las with the low
ing care they must have If
they are to endure for poster
ity. The politicians banal
bleat about progress" has to
be REDEEMED; 1t can no long
er mean the best for every
one because the best then
automatically and inevitably
tends to become the worst.
1t has to mean the best for
those who prove their love Of
the best, and the proof Of
that is willingness to pay, not
in money but in effort.
I do not see what other
principle can be applied. So
I would join those who OPP
pose paving the rocky. dusty
and dangerous road that
winds over Independence
Pass and those who would
leave the Aspen airstrip for
the little planes that fly with
some hazard and many sick
ening bumps. For entering
the mountainous West, as for
raising a child, the old rule
Of wisdom must prevail:
what is easy to get is not
worth the having.
The Aspen region Is not
an exclusive problem; 1t Is
duplicated all over this coun-
try. One matching example is
that precious strip of sand
near Manhattan called Fire
Island. Thousands enjoy It
now, without discrimination,
because they are willing to
make a long trip by ferry.
Connect it to the mainland by
highway, as some authorities
have wished to do, and mil
lions will then enjoy 1t. But
what they will then have to
enjoy will be paltry indeed, a
poor thing, worthy only Of
the poor in spirit.

Trends Among the Republicans

and Federal encroachment on
the rights Of individuals by
such legislation as the public
accommodations" bill.
The voters In 1864 win be
interested, as they have
been heretofore, in the in
tegrity Of government. 1t is
one of the Oldest and most
powerful issues in political
contests. Huge sums have
been appropriated ostensibly
for beneficial purposes, but
Congress has not yet engaged
in any process of self-exami-
nation. The public, however,
is rapidly getting the impress
sion that billions Of the tax
payers dollars are being
spent to curry favor with vot-
ers In certain sections Of the
country and that political
welfare in certain big cities
is considered more important
to the party In office than
the public welfare as q whole.
There used to be q time
when conservatism was con-
sidered the creed Of older
voters, but the emergence
lately of conservative groups
Of young Republicans is
rather remarkable. For when
the younger men In a politi-
cal party, who frequently are
captivated by radical lib
eral" slogans, begin to see
that sound government Is
possible only by means OF q
conservative liberal ism,
the tendency is to seek cut
new ways of achieving bene-
fetal ends for the people
without letting the Govern
ment 60 bankrupt or permit
ting 1t to be transformed into
q Tammany political ma
chine by means Of the alloca-
ton Of Federal funds.
There's a lot going on in
side the Republican Party
which in time win crystalline
q sensible conservatism as
opposed to an extreme con-
servatism. When the party
begins to express sponta-
neously in every part Of the
country what it really wants
from q candidate, it will be
time enough to consider just
who best fits the Republican
consensus.

The latest polls indicate
that even with the South

er with no specific destina-
ton and ended here in the
real estate business. None is
likely to get rich; all are
likely to live longer, have a
lot more fun watching their
tanned and active children
grow. and all seem to wear
the air Of people who know
they have won the battle.
In time, of course, even the
Aspens Of this country can
create their own rat race and
there are signs Of 1t now.
Here one confronts the deep
dilemma of this once-spacious
country: the affluent popu-
lation grows while the open
spaces cannot grow. How are
more and more Americans to
make use Of their national
heritage without spelling the
heritage for everyone? The
good places where one may
breathe cannot be left eter-
nally to the private rich, yet
they cannot be permitted to
be overrun in the CHASTITY
manner of Coney Island. Who
is to decide whether or how
the few shall enjoy a major
good or the many enjoy what
then becomes a very minor
good?
I would not pretend to know
all the questions, let alone
all the answers. But the more
I have pondered this diem
ma, the more it seems to me
that the basic rule of thumb
ought to involve a test Of the
individual visitors or settlers
tDtu to enjoy the open places.
The benefit must not be
handed to him on q platter,
by State or commercial facil-
tiles; he must prove himself
willing to endure some hard
ship for the privilege. The
governing principle ought to
be difficulty OF access.
This is a very different
price of admission from the
money price. 1t is not an
un-democratic principle,

Political Test for Kennedy Forces

This was President Eisen-
hower's way. It was not ex-
pected to be Mr.. Kennedy's.
National Chairman John
Bailey spends almost as
much time as State chairman
in Connecticut as he does for
all Of the rest of the country
combined. OF course. that
way he at least avoids collid-
ing with all those who are
trying to take over parts Of
his job. Nor have his few
outside adventures been bril-
liant.
The White House staff has
pre-empted many of the poll
teal chores that past ma
tional chaiImen did. Yet
members Of the Irish Malta
already have full-time Jobs,
and both their political and
governmental effectiveness
have been strained as a result
Of trying to spread them
selves SO thin,
They also suffer from an
obvious preference for the big
city machine politicians like
Mayor Daley of Chicago and
Congressman William Green
Of Philadelphia. But that
breed is fading fast In number
and effectiveness. Most OBJ
servers recognize that more
attention will have to be
given to the undisciplined
amateurs who are taking
over most of the grass roots
work Of American politics.

cYstolIizing of Party Views Expected
To Evolve Sensible Conservatism

cerned about a trend toward
totalitarianism in Govern
ment-- an assumption Of
power by means of executive
orders which ignore prece-
dent and even constitutional
restriction, and, in effect,
say that "the end justifies
the means"
The administration as
sumes that the voters will be
entranced with q tax cut
next year and that by No
vember, 1864, they will have
forgotten all about the hui
initiation suffered in Cuba
and will embrace the Khru-
shchev doctrine of peaceful
coexistence" as q victory
for mankind"
But resentmentS have been
building Up steadily. There is
an unfavorable reaction in
the big Northern States al
ready on the so-called civil
rights" issue and q feeling
that individual rights Of the
many are being brushed aside
to gain the votes of minority
groups. The detection in the
South from the Democratic
Party is significant, but it will
be superseded in electoral
votes by the movement away
from the Democratic Party in
the populous States Of the
North.
The public-opinion polls
have not been definitive be-
cause they are based on per-
sonalities. Actually, Senator
Goldwater's rise is notable,
Just as Gov. Rockefeller's de-
cline has caused many an
hour Of anxiety among his
supporters. But neither Of
these two prominent Re-
publicanS nor any of the
others named as possibilities
have yet been able to DEM
onstrate how they will fit
the Republican pattern of
conservatism in the year

What Senator Goldwater
has said about Gov. Rookie
feller's views, and vice versa,
in recent colloquies hardly
constitutes a meaningful de-
bate so far as determining
who the Republican Party's
presidential candidate win be.
There is something else
which viii have a really i'm
portant bearing on the OUT
come Of the contest for the
presidential nomination. It is
the extraordinary resurgence
nowadays Of what might be
called conservatism" inside
the Republican Party. But
even the word conservatism"
isn't clearly defined and such
expressions as radical left"
and radical right" have very
little application to what is
happening within the Re-
publican Party.
The party is undergoing q
capitalization Of its views,
and the next presidential
candidate will be the man
who interprets correctly that
consensus and Is considered
the best fitted to expound its
true meaning.
The Kennedy administra-
ton is really responsible for
the metamorphosis inside the
Republican Party. This kind
of change has happened often
In political history. For it is
the reaction to an admins
tration's policies which brings
out the need for an alterna-
tive course.
The argument going on as
to whether the Republican
Party is influenced by the
John Birchers or others in
the radical right" is super
fetal. Rather, the sentiment
worth noting is the grass
roots feeling as q whole about
national issues.
