News Policy
Is Defended
BY SuIinger

EAST LANSING, Mich, Jan,
26 (AP). - Presidential Press
Secretary Pierre Salinger says
the Kennedy administration
has the most open information
policy that has ever existed in
Washington.
In a speech to the Michigan
Press Association, Mr.. Salinger
said newsmen have more access
to the Chief Executive than
they have anywhere else in the
world.
Mr.. Salinger said President
Kennedy had made himself ac-
,cessible to reporters, frequently
on an off-the-record basis, to
provide background informa-
tion on prime issues.
The Kennedy administration,
he contended. has brought
competition back to the Wash
ington scene by making news
sources available to reporters.
He criticized reporters who are
willing to settle for a news
handout.
At a news conference, Mr..
Salinger described the New
York newspaper strike as a
"very difficult situation" The
Nations largest city has been
without local newspapers for
so days because Of a printers
strike.

It is hard to surpass the kind
OF trio playing that took place
at the Coolidge Auditorium of
the Library of Congress last
might. The players were the
members Of the Beaux Arts
Trio, a combination that has
been a going concern for some
time. 1t plays with increasing
artistry.
The most impressive thing
about the program was the
first American performance of
a trio written last year by In
golf Dahl. The piece itself is q
tightly constructed set Of five
movements, mostly contrapun-
tai in texture, and made up of
the widely dispersed, splintered
motives characteristic of main
line serialism. Nevertheless, the
unexorcised ghost of romanti-
cism pops up here and there,
carrying his heart in his hands.
The work is fearsomely diff
cult but was played in fine
style by the trio. No composer
could ask for a more dedicated
and expert first performance.
Mr.. Dahl was in the audience,
and receivedy with the trio, an
unusual quota of applause for
"a new piece.
Equally expert performances
of trios by Beethoven and
Brahms flanked the Dahl work,

The interval has been filled

judge from last nights per-
formance it also has been filled
with a gratifying artistic
growth on the singers part.

is always at least good enter

than that.
