Leonard Bernstein, who along
with John Wayne and Coca Cola
represents exportable American
culture, is a perfect conductor for
Ives and Mahler. Bernstein, flash'
-and vigorous, possesses the driv-
ing energy to reveal Ives' most
complicated textures, and the New
York-Jewish angst to explicate
Mahler's search for serenity. As
his own writing indicates, Bern-
stein is a man of many adjectives;

caustic wit, such as the blaring
Bronx cheer which ends his Sec-
ond Symphony, is now accepted
with no surprise by the audience
of the sixties. In otherwords, the
Ives renaissance is largely based
upon presumed kitsch, but by an
audience to whom kitsch is not
a derogratory word but High Art.
Ives, however, was not juggling
"Americana" but incorporating
into his music native themes in

the Second Symphony, composed
between 1897 and 1901, is an easy

Unpredictable Prince Norodom
Sihanouk, ruler of Cambodia,
shows signs of being disillusioned
with Red China, which he has
often called his "sincere friend."
The disenchantment could add a
new dimension to the search for
peace in Vietnam.
The prince's quarrel with Peking
has developed slowly for a year
and a half. He made an effort
to placate Red China, but evident-
ly felt constant pressure in the

only his rule but the involvement

"reactionary" and a tool of Rus-
sians and Americans.
This comes after elections which
lend an air of legality to the Sai-
gon regime. Perhaps the door has
been opened a tiny bit to efforts
to improve relations between 'Jam -
bodia and the Saigon government'
and possibly, in the long run. to
the establishment of a United Na-
tions presence in Indochina.
The Cambodian - Vietnamese
frontier of 736 miles and the pres-
ence of 600,000 ethnic Khmers,
Cambodians in South Vietnam,
have had an impact on the war.
Saigon has complained that Cam-
bodia provided sanctuary for the
Viet Cong and an infiltration
route for North Vietnamese troops.
Sihanouk in turn has accused Sai-
gon and the Americans of vio-
lating his borders. Several years
ago he broke relations with both.
More Hope for UN
In 1964, the UN Security Coun-
cil sent a three-man commission
to Cambodia with an eye to es-
tablishing whether it really was
an infiltration route, whether the
border was being violated by the
South Vietnamese and whether the
United Nations might in some
way supervise the demarcation
line. But the mission, however,
turned out to be futile.
If Sihanouk becomes sufficient-
ly frightened of Chinese designs,
matters could change. The Sai-
gon elections could serve as a
basis for seeking better relations
with South Vietnam and the
Americans.
In a mood of anger with China,
Sihanouk might be less averse to
having a UN team reactivated.
Such a small step could be an im--
portant one toward establishing a
UN presence in the general area.
Sihanouk speaks constantly of
his troubles with the "reds" and
the "blues." By "Reds" he means
pro - Chinese, by "blues," pro-
Americans. He exhibits hostility
to both now. But in the past he
has conceded there are some
"good" Americans. He has sin-
gled out, for example, Mike Mans-
field of Montana, the Senate Dem-
ocratic leader and proponent of
UN involvement in Vietnam.
Clearly, for many months, Si-
hanouk has nursed forebodings
about the Communists, even while
making friendly gestures toward
North Vietnam, which he calls
the "Viet Minh" as distinguished
from the South's Viet Cong.
Fears Communists
But to his own Communists a
year ago, Sihanouk said that "if
you remain international Commu-
nists and seek to support the
Viet Minh and others, I must con-
tinue to resist you," He blasted the
"stupid Pathet Lao" Communists
of Laos for claiming a strip of
Cambodian territory, and express-
ed suspicion that North Vietnam
had similar territorial designs.
There have been hints in Si-,
hanouk's statements that he feels
himself hemmed in by the com-
bination of North Vietnamese, La-
otian, Thai and Chinese Commu-
nists. If he remains wholly hos-
tile to South Vietnam and the
Americans, he could be isolated
completely, with no place to turn.

DETROIT P)- An increase in
car prices yesterday was a new
factor in the labor-management
equation as negotiators prepared
to resume bargaining between the
struck Ford Motor Co. and the
United Auto Workers (UAW).
Chrysler Corp., citing increased
costs of labor and'new health
and safety items required by fed-
eral law, became on Monday the
first of the four major U.S. auto-
makers to announce a price in-
crease. It said 1968 models would,
cost an average of $133 or 4.6 per
cent more than in 1967.
General Motors, American RIo-
tors and Ford Motor Co. are also
readying higher price listings on
their new models, but it was not
immediately known when their,
prices will be announced.
UAW Won't Comment
Ford and the UAW have agreed
to return to the bargaining table
Friday in an effortto end a six-
day-old strike by 160,000 Ford
workers.
The UAW had no immediate
comment on Chrysler's announce-
ment, but it was expected to study
the new listings carefully to get
an indication of what kind of sec-
ond contract offer the company
might make.
The union has rejected the
nearly identical offers made by
the Big Three. One GM official
estimated the original offer would
add $4 an hour to the $4.70 an
hour in wages and fringe benefits
the average worker now draws.
Price Complications
.The Big Three offers included
raising the current average
straight time hourly rate of $3.41
an hour by 13 cents the first year
and by 2.8 per cent each successive
year.
The strike is not expected to
delay Ford's new price announce-
ment since the company already
has 85,000 new models ready for
introduction by dealers Sept. 22.
The pricing picture was com-
plicated by the fact that auto
companies traditionally s h i f t
equipment around on cars. An
item which might have been op-
tional on the 1967 model and was
made standard this time would be
reflected in the higher 1968 price
tag.
The Chrysler announcement
marked the second year in a row
that prices have been upped.
Both 'Ford and Chrysler rolled
back their prices last year after
General Motors announced a list
far lower. Chrysler's revised prices
:were still $86,99 or 2.82 per cent
higher after the rollback.
With the announcement that
'Ford and the UAW would not re-
turn to the bargaining table until
Friday, some observers speculated
that the strike, which began at
midnight last Wednesday, will run
at least until October.

WARSAW, Poland (M)-Rebuffed
in efforts to steer Poland to more
independent policies, Charles de
Gaulle flew home yesterday after
signing a joint communique re-
flecting Polish-French disagree-
ment on the great issues of Eu-
rope.
The statement covering the
French president's six-day visit
did not even uphold. permanent
Polish rule over the Oder-Neisse
region, former German lands
transferred to Poland at the end
of World War II.
De Gaulle has backed the Poles
on this issue ever since 1959 and
did so with new force during his
visit. But he did not put it in
writing-perhaps because he was
afraid of dividing Europe.
Ignoring de Gaulle's proposal
to develop a broader perspective,

his own proposals for Warsaw
for Poland to join France in
trying to end the war, the joint
statement announced agreement
that the Vietnam conflict is "the
principal obstacle to international
relaxation."-
Poland and France, it said,
"condemn a war whose escalation
continues to menace the very ex-
istence of the Vietnamese people
and compromise the security of
neighboring countries. They are
convinced that only an end to for-
eign intervention and a return to:
the 1954 Geneva agreements will
permit ending the conflict."
Not all tune and pazzazz, the Sec-
ond Symphony holds an Adagio
Cantabile of great serenity and
simplicity.
This first concert of the Uni-
versity Musical Society's 89th sea-
son opened with a disappointing
performance of Mahler's Fourth
Symphony. For those put off by
the endless repetitiveness of Mah-
ler's longer and more grandiose
symphonies, the shorter Fourth
Symphony offers a most pleasant
way to enjoy this keenly sensitive
and original composer. In it, Mah-
ler seems to have escaped his soul-

Groppi to "adopt a positive ap-
proach toward improving condi-

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (R) - The
Southern Governor's ConferenceI
,approved yesterday a blueprint for
the upgrading of Negro educa-
tional opportunities in the South,
The action, the prime event of
the 17-state conference, came in
the form of official approval of a
report prepared by a special com-
mission of the Southern Regional
Education Board. The board made
these three main points:
-That immediate steps be tak-
en to help Negro college students
overcome the handicaps of educa-
tional disadvantages and cultural
deprivation;
--That long range plans be de-
vised to complete the evolution of
the South's dual system of higher
education into a single system
serving all students;
-That all types of educational
resources, including traditionally
Negro colleges and universities, be
engaged in a massive effort to
achieve equality of educational
opportunity.
Georgia's Democratic Governor
G eorge Maddox offered the only
argument against the report, say-
ing it had no place on the agenda
of the conference. He added, "I
had hoped the race issue would
not be injected into this meting."
Governors Mills E. Godwin of
Virginia, Robert McNair of South
Carolina and Winthrop Rockefel-
ler of Arkansas, among others,
praised the report. Godwin said,
"This is the best way proposed
yet to get something started in
this problem area. It is a real
landmark report."
Rockefeller said consideration
should be included "for the en-
vironment of our Negro students.
They may receive an education
equal to a white student, but they
still have a different environment.
While we upgrade education, let
us all learn to understand the
tremendous part played by en-
vironmental background."
