A WELL - PLAYED start and
powerful conclusion are vital
components of any performance:
this musical rule - of - the - thumb
could not be said to apply to the
Woodwind Quintet concert given
last night at Rackham Lecture
Hall.
The first number, a Rossini
quartet, lacked the relaxed, play-
ful spirit required by the intro-
ductory flute melody which
brought to mind (Ah, aesthetic!)
a familiar razor blade advertise-
ment. The performance lead one
to wonder as to the length of
warm-up period preceeding it.
The finale of the evening was a
premiere performance of "Homage
to Great Americans" by Philip
Bezanson. This rather lengthy
piece seemed to have as its pro-
gramatic message the idea that we
should remember Thomas ("Give
me liberty or give me death")
Paine as fragmentary and contra-
puntal and our first and sixteenth
presidents as lumbering melodies
punctuated by staccato chords.
The interior of the program
proved to be much more rewarding.
"Pastorale" by Persichetti pro-
vided fine coloristic studies for the
instrumentalists contrasted with
harmonically rich, yet appropri-
ately peaceful, homophonic sec-
tions. A four-movement number
by Hanerick, more somber and
full, was also well executed.
* * *
THE TWO PIECES best received
by the audience were a "Diverti-
mento" by Haydn and "Ren-
gaines" by Andre Souris. The
former aroused a pleased murmur
of recognition in the second (and
again in the fourth) movements
for the same theme later utilized
in the Brahms "Variations."
The latter, -comprised'o nn
very brief, humorous movements
was replete with variety and clever,
unexpected cadences.
The musicians themselves, all
instrumental faculty members of
the School of Music, served as fine

the part of the clarinetist) ex-

All objective d'ata gathered by
the GOP NationalhCommittee it-
self suggest that the Republicans
at best will have to fight uphill all
the way. These surveys, based on
last year's Congressional elections
and the lessons drawn from them,
show that while the GOP Congres-
sional vote stayed almost constant
from 1950 to 1958, the Democratic
vote rose by 5,500,000.
They show, too, a heavy decline
in urban Republican voting right
alongside a significant, if lesser,
decline in rural Republican voting.
Worst of all, from the GOP view-
point, Democratic net gains are
progressively rising in the part of
the country that is growing the
fastest, the area west of 'the Mis-
sissippi River.

AND THIS IS NOT ALL. Census
forecasts for 1960 indicate that
old-line Republican states like
Ohio, and more-or-less Republi-
can states like Pennsylvania, are
falling far behind in the popula-
tion race. But traditionally Demo-
cratic states like Texas, and pres-
ently Democratic states like Cali-
fornia ,are burgeoning beyond all
previous estimates. Texas will
vault into fifth place among the
states, ahead of Ohio. California
will pass Pennsylvania for second
place. And so on.
The new mood of self-examina-
tion within the GOP has not ar-
rived a moment too soon.

INTERPRETING:

Economic

t

ONLY A MONTH remains before the Foreign
Ministers are obliged to meet in Geneva,
andthere is much to be done before the West-
ern powers have anything like a sound negoti-
ating position. We are in fact not ready for
serious negotiations at the level of the Foreign
Ministers or at the summit. If we could do
what would be most convenient, we would post-
pone these meetings for a better day.
This is ,however, not possible. For while May
27 is not the deadline of an ultimatum de-
manding that we accept the Soviet terms, it
is nevertheless a deadline which the Western
governments have not thought it prudent to
ignore. They have realized that if serious nego-
tiations about the two Germanys and Berlin
are not under way during the summer, the So-
viet government is almost certain to take
measures which would damage severely the
Western position.
This does not mean that the Soviet govern-
ment is likely to blockade West Berlin. They
are playing chess and they will not sweep all
the pieces off the board. They are likely to
make a move which it is very difficult to reply
to. Most likely they will do what they have
threatened to do, which is to sign a separate
peace treaty with East Germany, and to let
the East German government administer the
whole problem of access to West Berlin. This
would be a very baffling but a very powerful
move. It would be powerful because once the
East German state has a peace treaty it will
be, whatever we may think of it, a sovereign
state. Very quickly it will receive diplomatic
recognition by all the governments of the
Communist orbit, and almost certainly also
from -many of the governments which take the
line of "positive neutrality."
THIS WOULD seal publicly and formally the
partition of Germany.
Yet it would be a baffling move for us. There
is nothing that we can do to prevent it. Most

of the talk about how firm we are going to
stand is addressed to the notion that the Com-
munists may blockade West Berlin. What we
must be thinking about is what we will do
supposing they do not blockade Berlin, not now
nor in the probable future. How then do we
stand firm against a measure which, without
any physical action on their part, deprives the
people of West Berlin of confidence in their
own future, which deprives the people of West
Germany of hope that the Western powers can
reunite the two Germanys?
The basic reason why the Western powers
are not now ready for a serious negotiation is
that they are faced with an ugly reality -
the partition of Germany - and they have
not yet been able to adjust their policies and.
their internal politics to this ugly fact. The
public tragedy of Dulles' illness is that he is"
uniquely qualified to lead the Western coali-
tion in adjusting itself to the ugly reality.
IT IS IN THIS context that Adenauer's de-
cision to seek the Presidency can most plaus-
ibly be explained. When I was in Paris before
I went to Bonn,,several people in the know
said somewhat cryptically that the Chancellor
was a sad man and needed to be reassured
about his future and his place in history.
In Bonn it was evident that there was great
anxiety in high quarters about the outcome
of the German elections - the Presidential
elections this year and the parliamentary elec-
tions in 1961.'
The anxiety arose from the fact that there
is a powerful tide of opinion running against
Adenauer's policy. Themtide is not only among
the Socialists but also within his own party and
on the right of it. There was a chance that
the Social Democrat. Carlo Schmid, who is a
popular figure, might win the Presidency
against any of the available Christian Demo-,
crats - and there was a chance that Adenauer
might not obtain a reliable majority in the
next parliamentary elections.
Any public demonstration that Germany will
not be reunified might prove to be decisive
against Adenauer's party. By accepting the
Presidency now, he is insuring the continua-
tion of his political influence against what
might happen in the elections of 1961.
SEEN THIS WAY, Adenauer's decision is a
wise one. It is like battening down the
hatches and reefing in the sails for the storms
which are ahead. His decision will make it
less dangerous to the Western alliance to woik
out a policy which is based on the reality that
Europe and the two Germanys and Western
Berlin must find a way to live for a long time
without a settlement which restores the old
German Reich.


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
Labor Editorial Called'So phistry'

To the Editor:
MR. SHERMAN'S editorial in
Tuesday's Daily entitled "Na-
ture of Present-Day Unions Makes
Wage Demands Inescapable" is
sophistry.
He writes of David MacDonald,
president of the United Steel
Workers: "At the head of a huge
union, he must administer it like
any other large corporation; the
only difference is that his product
is labor, not goods."
Let's play the Socratic game
with that proposition:
1) Mr. MacDonald is head of a
huge union, which is like any other
corporation.
2) Labor is the product of his
corporation.
3) Mr. Fairless is head of a large
corporation.
4) Steel is the product of his
corporation.
5) Labor elects Mr. MacDonald
to his office.
6) Therefore steel elects Mr.
Fairless to his office.
Having dispatched Mr. Mac-
Donald, Mr. Sherman then tilts at
"other labor leaders like him." Of
them he speaks as "striving for
more and more money to satisfy
thu demands of the rank and file.
The product that they must de-
liver is money; ...'
Money is not a product to begin
with. But to grant that it is, by
Mr. Sherman's reasoning labor
leaders peddle a product called
labor, for which they obtain a pro-

less's duty to his product? An
equation of labor with goods ig-
nores the unique characteristic of,
labor as a factor of production,
which labor is, and its function in
the rewards of production, which
goods are. The value of goods-the
product-is measured by money,
whiach also serves as a medium of
exchange and as a store of wealth.
The unique characteristic, inci-
dentally,is that labor is people-
each of whom has many duties.

To the Editor:
I HAVE NEVER written a letter
to The Daily before because I

realize that I lack the eloquence
required of a Daily letter-writer.
However, I cannot refrain from
commenting on Mr. Thomas S.
David's letter in reference to In-
dia's policy of "Dynamic Neutral-
ity."
It would seem to me that India's
neutrality is dynamic only when
there is no danger to India in-
volved. If I remember correctly,
India protested quite loudly when
Britain, France and Israel went
into Egypt. In the Tibetan upris-
ing, India does not seem as vocal.
I think "Cowering Neutrality" is
a better term for India's position.

Optimisn
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
T HE SOVIET UNION and Com-
munist China have just issued
simultaneous reports of i'nportant
progress in economic production
Every time this happens 'people
begin to moan that the West is
going to lose the cold war if it
keeps up.
It's something to be on the alert
about, but not something to cause
such deep pessimism.
Despite the good fortune by
which it was able to pick up pro-
cesses and systems already highly
developed over long years by the
industrital West, the rate of Com-
munist economic growth in the
past 30 years has been no greater
than the initial impetus of the
West.
* * *
WHERE THE Soviet production
now increases something less than
10 per cent per year, beginning
with a backlog of some two hun-
dred million people to serve, the
United States growth years ago
was in the neighborhood of 12 per
cent with less than half that num-
ber of people.
The dangers inherent in the
Communist of producing first for
the state-war materials, primar-
ily, and heavy machinery-work
both ways.
As long as the Communists can
stave off their people with a short
supply of consumer goods, using
the stick to beat them while giving
them only a nibble of the carrot,
they will be able to compete with
the West for power.
The great Communist effort
now, in their foreign economic
relations, is to convince newly
emerging nations that they can
achieve their material needs more
quickly under Communism than
under the capitalist system.
EVEN TO obtain enough pro-
gress to exaggerate, however, the
Communists have resorted to re-
pression of human liberties. The
Soviet has made some concessions
to the profit motive in human en-
deavor, but Peiping has gone the
other way, inaugurating a system
of regimentation and denial never
before attempted by any modern
government.
The resulting .creation of pres-
sure among the people cannot be
measured until it manifests itself
in some fashion.
There 'is. no evidence now on
which to base the hope of popular
uprisings against the Red regimes.
There is real reason to suspect,
however, that time itself will in-
crease instability within such sys-
tems.
As to the effect of Communist
productive progress on newly de-
veloping countries, decisions
against capitalism may occur. So

amples for their students 'in the
somewhat meager audience.
However it goes without saying,
to those that attended the concert
-especially those seated in the
back of the auditorium-that the
musicians on the stage were play-
ing for more ears than those visible
to them: for, between every num-
ber, came the soft voice providing
the radio audience with such items
as: "Mr. Persichetti is a member
of the staff at the Philadelphia
conservatory."
