SRO at Hill Auditorium last
night . . . Leonard Bernstein con-
ducting the New York Philhar-
monic in a world premiere of
Aaron Copland's "Inscape"
an excellent concert . .. .opland
was even in the audience.
Copland's excellent use of in-
strumental combinations to ex-
tract original and interesting tone
colors (e.g., the brassscoring after
the oboe solo at the beginning,
his transition from a short trum-
pet solo to an oboe solo, to a
clarinet solo, to a violin solo near
the end of the piece) was in keep-
ing with his earlier works. His
original and effective use of small
quasi-climaxes to lead up to the
main climax before the return
to the original dynamic level was
also a familiar touch.
I was a bit puzzled, however, by
the repetitious use of percussion
rhythms, especially the repeated
cymbal crashes to accent the rhy-
thm of the violin melody ... I'd
like to hear it again.
"Inscape'° is a piece which pre-
sents sounds to the listener in a
fashion that he can understand
not in a complex, almost unplay-
able fashion whose sounds occur
too rapidly and in too great a pro-
fusion to be. collated at. one hear-
ing
"Overture to Candide'," which
opened the program, was an ex-
citing piece and could hardly
fail to interest the audience with
its many contrasting sections fol-
lowing one after 'the other in a
natural almost transition-less'
manner.
i
Beethoven's "Eighth Symphony" '
was given a very musical perform-
ance : the violin section's tone
quality is such that the legato
and espressivo passages were very
effective and their tone had the
needed depth for romantic music.
The contrast between the violin
section's melody passages "and the
accompaniment passages was not
effective. In the fourth move-
ment, however, tl

WASHINGTON OP) - The Air r
Force, Navy, Army and Marines o
fall have a shortage of pilots-- a
' nearly 17,000 in all-and the de- a
ficit will continue well into the t
1970s, a Senate Armed Services P
subcommittee reported last' night.
The chief cause is the unexpect-
ed airpower demands of the Viet- f
nam war, said Sen. John Stennis v
(D-Miss), chairman of the group. e
Another cause given was the lure r
of higher paying and more com- r
fortable jobs in commercial avia-
tion.' E
All cockpit requirements at the
battle front have beeen met, Sten- s
nis said, but he added this was t
accomplished by drastic actions v
which should have been unnec-
cessary. f
After Investigation o
The detailed 23-page report was s
made to the parent Armed Services t
Committee after secret testimony
and months of investigation. s
The eight-senator panel said p
statements by some defense wit- 1
neses "failed to face up to the f
facts and were better calculated to 19
obscure than to inform."
"Veiling and masking the facts
and issues has little justification,"
the report said of this testimony, j
adding that it was "directed or ,
counseled-and certainly approved
-by higher authority."
Obscured Facts'
The senators said some of the
classified testimony "obscured the
pilot shortages behind a screen of I
semantic and statistical sleight-
of-hand."
The caustic report listed these
pilot shortages for the current fis-
cal wear which began July 1: Air
Force 9,269; Navy 2,430; Army
4,318; Marine Corps 886.
Part of the shortage' was attri- '
buted to failure to call up trained
I
reserve pilots. The report said,
other causes included "absence o
an adequate wartime surge' cap-
ability, significant increases in at-
trition rates and inadequate pilot
production programs."
No Surplus'
"No one wants our aviation I
forces to come out of this conflict
with a surplus of pilots such as
existed after World War II, the
report said, but added there was
no evidence this would happen
"even if the war in Southeast
Asia should come to an early end."
Stennis said the panel does not
share apparent fear of some Pen-
tagon leaders that too many pilots
will be trained.
"There is a continuing demand
Unrecognized
The short film has an impor-
tant but virtually unrecognized
position in the development of
modern cinema. Most young direc-
tors begin their careers with short
films, and the film included in the
Janus collection are often those
} for which the directors gained
their reputations.
The devotee of Truffaut (who
has made "Jules and Jim," "Shoot
the Pial-io Player" and "400
Blows") can often see his feature
films, but until this weekend prob-
ably has never had a chance to
see "Les Mistons," his celebrated
20 minute short.
a Other short films have been con-
sidered virtually the capsule state-
acteristic of much modern film j
comedy.
The New Cinema program has
been described as a compilation
which is a "virtual textbook of
modern cinema." This is not sur-
prising when one looks at all the
)fferings. Modern developments in
France are represented by Chris --
Marker's "La Jetee" and Jean-
Luc Godard's "All The Boys Are
Called Patrick."
Eastern European cinema is
represented by the films of Roman
Polanski and Valerian Borowczyk.
Films from the United States, Eng-
land, and Canada are also offered.,
The problems to be solved in a
short film are qualitatively as well
as quantitatively different, from
those of a feature film. Somewhat
analogous to the short story vs.
the novel, the short film cannot
involve a complex narrative and
must try to establish a mood or
a simple dramatic situation. Or,
perhaps, the film is simply a ve-
aicle for sketching a new idea in
style. However, the short film must
be E. complete statement, able to
satisfy in a short span of time.
The short film challenges the
viewer to establish new standards
of successful narration, new atti-
tudes towards what makes a good
film.
From adapted-theater (Beck-
ett's "Act Without Words"), to
documentary (one at a party of
Hugh Hefner's), to-animation, the _
"New Cinema Program" reflects
all the excitement of what's hap-
pening today in the movies.
