PERRY 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; Ives and Mahler too loved to am- able to any 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 which he, as a turn-of-the cen- the Second Symphony, composed between 1897 and 1901, is an easy work to listen to, and Ives' in- junction to "use your ears like a man" does not have to be exer- cised greatly for this work. Ex- Father Groppi Shuns Governor's Request To Stop Marches Daily News Analysis By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press Special Correspondent 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.

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. q 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. Polish Talks Hand Failr a lr To De Gaulle 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, to depend less on Moscow and to act fointly with France to end the given so little Polish support for 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- !"There are many aspects to this fight-education, jobs, hous- ing and police," Father Groppi added. "It is a vicious cycle that must be cracked." Knowles flew into Milwaukee for a brief visit and told newsmen that he was appealing to Father Groppi to "adopt a positive ap- proach toward improving condi- tions in the Inner Core."

(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."
