II AirIiner Dead

MANILA. Mar. 4 (AP) Res
cue workers began moving the
bodies Of 81 persons killed in
the crash of a Philippine afr
liner to Davao today for identi-
fication. 1t was believed that
two American Peace Corps
members were among the dead.
Nancy Ann Boyd, 20, Of Mar
tinez, Calf, and Phillip Walter
Maggard, %, of Buffalo, Wyo.,
were aboard the plane when it
left Catabata, on Mindanao Is
land, Saturday.
The plane made two stops
before 1t fell, and a Peace Corps
spokesman said that until the
bodies are identified 1t will be
impossible to say that the two
young Americans were aboard
at the time of the crash.
Searchers who found the
wreckage In a mountainous,
heavily wooded area said there
were no survivors.

lsExpecting Child

TOKYO. Mar. 4 CAP).-
Crown Princess Michiko is ex-
pecting her second child in
September or early October, a
spokesman for Crown Prince
Akihito's household said today.
Yasuhide Toda, Akihito's per-
sonal chamberlain, told news
men a report from the 2s-year-
old Princess doctors indicated
she was pregnant.
"A formal announcement will
not be made until around early
May when the princess condi-
ton will have progressed to a
point where doctors are abso-
lutely certain" Mr.. Toda
added.
Michiko has a son. Prince
Hiro, 3 years old.

TONS customary Sunday reci-
tai audience somewhat, but
there was still a fair crowd Of
music lovers willing to give UP
the sunshine for the bleak and
snowy landscape Of Schubert's
"Winterreise."
With New York baritone
Marten Sameth and pianist
David Carney, the stark song
cycle was in capable hands.
The two worked well together,
maintaining an irresistible I'M
animity Of movement from the
metric pulsations in the intro
ductory Cute Nacht" through
similarly well constructed
rhythmic entities in "Rueck-
blick," ''Einsamkeit," and the
p PARTICULARLY spine-tingling
"Wegweiser."
Mr.. Sameth approached all
this with the finest dramatic
and musical conception and
with generally acceptable vocal
equipment. Winterreise is a
far cry from the composers
earlier, and relatively sunny
cycle, Die Schoene Muellerin
although the same poet, VIII
helm Mueller, supplied both
texts. Vocal oriented crafts
man and melodic genius that
he was, Schubert saw little
occasion for melodic beauty in
his Winter Journey, and
showed little sympathy in it
for the singer. The wide range
and complex figurations in
such songs as "Irrlicht" and
Nut" drove Mr.. Sameth to a
few growled low tones and
faltering mezza voce tones on
the one hand, and only APP
proximate running figures on
the other.
OF course the cycle does
have a richly spun melody or
two. The popular Linden
Tree" was sustained beautifully
in tone and mood, and "The
Inn"-in fact a graveyard
where the wanderer finds no
room beautifully portrayed
the utter peace denied to the
cycles protagonist.

1t is said Of Victor Borge
that he turned to comedy when
he realized how silly it was to
sit at a piano before an orches-
ira playing tweedle-deedle-
decide in a multi-measure trill
during a Liszt concerto. II
that's the way it was, we are
fortunate. There are plenty Of
piano players around now. as
always, but very few really in
spired clowns, and blessed is
he who brings the gift Of
laughter.
Constitution Hall was almost
filled for Mr.. Borge's nearly
two-hour show. and that dig
nified hall rocked with laughter
and applause throughout the
evening. 1t was not all music,
as the show title suggests, for
the first act was nearly over
before he actually played the
piano.
The literary portion Of the
evening included a charming
theory Of numbers, the idea
being to raise the value Of each
number or number-sound in
speech by one degree, to match
the initiation in other areas of
life; the phrase, and so forth,
becomes "and so fiveth," very
funny in fast patter. Then
there was a Borge standard on
punctuation indicated by sound
a broadly played barnburner Of
an act which leaves the eyes
wet and the sides aching.
The musical gags were many,
with Leonid Hambro a perfect
foil at the second piano. That
portion Of the program was eli

ing a small bench at one piano
while they played one Of the
List Hungarian dances. One

Of the piano slapped down on
the fingers Of the other player,
and most hilarious Of all, the
two Of them joined together
in a semblance Of a LAGOON
group while each played keys
in the territory Of the other
The music went round and
round during all this, but every
one laughed so hard it could
barely be heard,
What is indescribable in a
Borge performance are the
sight gags and the throw-aWay

NEW YORK, Mar. 4 (AP).-
The New York Post, one Of the
nine major newspapers that
closed down here 81 days ago,
resumed publication today amid
reports Of Roadway in nego-
tiations to get the other eight
back on the streets.
A resounding cheer went up
in the press room Of the Post,
an afternoon tabloid, as Press
man Robert Lawton pushed the
button that started one of three
presses rolling and ended the
long New York newspaper
blackout.
The din Of the presses soon
smothered the shouts Of the
81 workers in the press room.
Mrs. Dorothy Schiff, the
Posts publisher and owner, re-
signed from the Publishers AS
ISOLATION Of New York City
last Thursday and announced
her paper would resume publ
cation today.
96-Page Edition
The first edition was 90
pages, including advertising
news and features.
Robert Gray. assistant to the
publisher, said today's total
production will be determined
by how the papers sell this
morning. Mr.. Gray called
normal" the so per cent of
total space given to advertising.
Mrs. Schiff in a statement on
page 3 said:
ut is my major hope that
the tragic and costly labor con-
flict will be reasonably re-
solved in the very near future
do not want to say anything
that might introduce any new
elements of controversy into
this difficult situation.
Let me simply say at this
time that, in hating publica-
ton when four other news
papers were struck, I believed
that such concerted action
would bring about an early, fair
solution, as it had in other
strikes. I finally became con-
WINGED that the course we were
following was not achieving the
purpose Of facilitating a Just
agreement and that my respon-
sibility to the New York Post
and to the public required deci-
sive action on my part"

Natasha Litvin, pianist, pre-
sented three large romantic
works for her instrument In
recital at the National Gallery
Of Art last evening.
She opened with Schubert,
which she waded through with
most of the notes, some Of the
correct tempt, and a firm right
foot on the pedal.
The Beethoven sonata that
followed was better, in spite Of
some few conspicuously wrong
notes and an unfortunate de-
cision about what to do with
the admittedly enigmatic
adagio.
The second half Of the pro-
gram was devoted to the SYM
phonic Etudes Of Schumann.
Here Miss Litvin alternated be-
tween fine and brilliant play
ing Of some OF the variations
and a sort Of wooden messiness
in others. The finals went well.
1t was clean, and had pace and
drive.
Miss Litvin's playing has
many many good qualities,
which might be impressive in q
different repertoire. She can
play fast enough, and she has
considerable control over dy-
namics, although her forte is
inclined to be brittle and crash
ing. Eyes closed, her cantabile
playing is sensitive and pleas
ant, but when / watched, ]
could not help thinking that
the exaggerated rotation of the
elbows could be put to better
use whipping up an omelet than
In trying to extract q singing
tone from the piano.
1t is hard to say why this
rather competent playing was
not more cinvincing. 1t seemed
dry, in spite Of the effort spent
on dynamics and rubato. Per-
haps 1t was nervousness that
made the emotion appear to
be added to the music rather
than to emanate from it.

invasion on the Bay of Pigs.
Mr.. Carlson arrived later from
Miami Springs in behalf Of an
organization known as the
Double Check Corp.
Mr.. Carlson at this time told
them their husbands might be
alive and urged them to main
tain secrecy. He and Mr.. Nc
Dowell later informed them the
men were dead and said the
story was being released to
newspapers.
Mr.. Carlson told newsmen in
May, 1861, the men went down
in a Gas cargo plane while on
a flight to an unknown desti-
nation with an unknown cargo
and that wreckage had been
sighted.
He said Double Check had
recruited the men, but said
they were the only ones con-
tacted. He described the or
ganization as a kind of
broker" The organization
Double Check represented had
requested that its identity be
kept secret. he said.
The first checks to the
widows came from Double
Check. q Florida corporation
but were changed to Bankers
Trust In the summer Of 1861.
The attorneys told the women
they did not have to pay tax
and there have been no COM
plants from the Treasury De-
partment.
Not Fortune Hunters
Prior to their deaths, the
airmen drew salaries that were
taxed. Mrs. Gray said her hus-
band earned $1,000 a month
and an additional $500 per
flight. The other women de-
clined to reveal their husbands
earnings.
All three insist their hus-
bands did not hire out to anti
Castro forces for the invasion
for their own enrichment.
Mrs. Ray said her husband
would talk to me about his
fear that our two children
would have to grow up under
communism"
Riley wasn't a soldier Of
fortune" said Mrs. Shambur-
ger. He didn't do this
for the money"
IF they would tell the story
then 1t would help things a
lot" said Mrs. Gray,
The men had similar back
grounds. All had been asso-
ciated with Hayes Interna-
tional Corp. a Birmingham
firm which makes missile COM
ponents.

As One Paper Resumes

Of Local 6, has made repeated
offers to put his men back to
work at the non-struck dailies
under terms of the old con-
tract while negotiations con-
tinue with the four struck
papers.
Mayor Robert Wagner said
both sides had substantially
narrowed" their differences in
talks that ended early today.
The Posts decision to pub
lish was met Immediately by
an advertising boycott of the
paper by Mays big depart
ment store.
Gimbels Takes Out Ads
Macy's said it took no posi-
ton in the printer-publisher
dispute but felt that If it sup
ported the Post with its ad-
vertising, that might put I'M
due pressure" on the other
eight dailies ito settle regard
less of merit"
Mrs. Schiff declined COM
ment on Macy's statement. Her
assistant, Mr.. Gray, said Gin
bells department store had
given the Post four pages of
advertising on Friday, but can
celed it after Mays announced
it would not advertise In the
Post.
Tribune Explains Position
Meanwhile. the Herald Tri-
bune distributed today a one
page circular under its mast
head saying that "for the
privilege of publishing today,
we'd risk sudden death tomor-
row."
The circular explains why
the Herald Tribune did not Join
the Post in resuming publica-
ton.
The circular said, in part:
"The New York Post has
been permitted to publish I'M
der the following terms:
Whatever demands tn e
other papers finally settle on
must be accepted by the Post.
THE Post will have no vioce
in determining the final settle
ment.
IF the Post can't afford
the terms Of the final settle
ment. They'll simply have to
go out Of business.
To quote Mr.. Powers Der
tram Powers. head Of the strik-
ing printers): If those that
were not struck found that the
price was too high. they could
then make their decision as to
whether or not they could af-
ford to stay in business
1.-THE Tribune was offered
the same deal. We rejected it.
For the privilege of publishing
today. we'd risk sudden death
