AT RACKHAM AUDITORIUM:
Stanley Quartet Concert
Unifoml Excellent
N ALL PROBABILITY, there is no small complement of instruments
that is as musically expressive as the string quartet. Here, we are
confronted with all of the lushness and beauty of tone that is inher-
ent in the string orchestra. Yet with this lushness and tonal beauty
is an economy of means worth marveling at. It is precisely this econ-
omy which makes the combination of two violins, viola, and violincello
a striking musical combination.
However, the achievement of good ensemble is a task of massive
proportions. All four performers must, of necessity, function as one.

'HE BATTLE of the budget involves "a con-
test between the public interest and a wide
triety of special interests," President Dwight
Eisenhower said in a recent letter to Rep.
harles Halleck of Indiana, House Republican
ader.
Yet in the 'overall view, the public interest is
entical with these special interests. Certainly
stitutiois of higher education seeking support
om government funds-are "a special-interest,"
it the satisfaction of this need is, in the long
n, in the public interest. To satisfy the "pub-
interest," the government must ultimately
tis v, insofar as is humanly possible, the in-
restA of each particular group of each indi-
dual in the state.,
The government has an obligation to all the
ople. That government is no longer best which
verns least. The democratic ideal of equal.
portunity for all, which grew up with the.
e of the capitalist economy, is still only an
eal. To say it is a reality is to ignore the
rsh facts of unemployment, poverty and ig-
rance. If the United States is to have govern-

people it must be government of, by and for all
the people.
THERE ARE at present over 4 million unem-
ployed in the United States. The continual
high percentage of unemployment makes it
obvious that some kind of planning is necessary
for the American economy.
Unfortunately, the phrase "planned economy"
conjures up in many minds a regimented police
state similar to George Orwell's 1984. Yet
practically every other aspect of our lives is
carefully planned and laid out. No one would
suggest "un-planning" the University and hav-
ing professors wander around giving lectures
whenever they felt like it, wherever they could
find a room, to anyone who happened to wander
in. No one would suggest "un-planning" our
government. The result would obviously be
anarchy. Planning is not tantamount to regi-
mentation. It is only the idea of a planned
economy that raises such phantasms of horror.
E. H. Carr described the "social service" or
"welfare' state as "the state of which we de-
mand that it shall bring about a larger measure
of equality than ever before between its citizens.
-'fair shares for all'; that 'it should as far as
possible ensure both freedom and equality of
opportunity for all; that it should so plan and
direct the national economy that the periodic
crises inherent in laissez-faire systems should
be avoided; that full employment may be se-
cured for all who are able to work, and that
the natural resources and national man-power
may be applied to the production of those
things which are most needed, rather than of
these things which cant be sold at the highept
profit; and that it should so plan and direct our,
international trade that our scarce resources
may be used to bring in those overseas supplies
of which we are most in need, and on the most
favorable terms."'-
This was written about England, but, holds
equally true for the United States.. There is at
present a considerable amount of government
regulation in the economic system of this coun-
try, and very few deny its necessity. But an
overall plan rather than a hit-or-miss, maybe-
this-will-work type of regulations is necessary
before government for all the people is possible.

* * .
AN EVEN more basic problem,
however, has no visible solutidn"
whatever. Federal expenditures are
becoming so vast and so diffuse in
purpose as to raise a serious ques-
tion whether any President or
Congress will be able within a few
years actually to control any
budget. May not internal events,
as for illustration sudden business
recessions, or external events in-
stantly requiring vast outlays in
the cold war, become the real fu-
ture masters of the budget?
This is the creeping nightmare
of some fiscal conservatives. It is
not so much the level of present
spending that they fear. It is the
possibility that men may lose to
the robot of circumstance the very
power effectively to, control spend-
ing at all.-
Recently the satellite Commu-
nist press and officials of the sat
ellite countries openly have been
praisingStalin as a fountain of
Marxist dogma. Partly respon-
sible for this- has been the Soviet
party's quarrel with Tito of Yugo-
slavia,'whose deviation is regard-
ed as dangerous to the monolithic
structure of the Communist world
movement. Tito is accused of re-
visionism in refusing to recognize
Moscow's ascendancy in all things
respecting the development of the.
Communist movement.

Each must forsake his own musi-
cal individuality to a point, in or-
der to produce a unified body of
sound; a task which necessarily
demands the services of four such
competent musicians as those' in
the Stanley Quartet.
For their concert last evening,
the Stanley Quartet played three
compositions and one excerpt. The
opening selection was Mozart's
"Quartet in C Major," K. 465. This
work, coming as it does in the
latter part of the composer's short
creative career, offers full testa-
ment to the artistic maturity that
Mozart had attained so early in
his life. In the slow sections of
the work (notably the "Adagio"
of the first 'movement and the
second movement, the "Andante
Cantabile"), are the chromaticism
that was to become so integral a
part of Mozart's later style. In
the faster portions of the work,
we also discover another facet of
Mozart's mature style: the in-
creased use of complicated coun-
terpoint for the sake( of melodic
interests. The performance was
excellent.
The second composition was the
"Quartet (1958)" by R o d o l f o
Halffter. This piece is 'one in a
series of works that have been
commissioned by the University
for performance by the Stanlet.
It is divided into four. movements.
Ofthese, the Sonata and the Cav-
atina (the first two movements)
were probably the most successful
from the 'standpoint of melodic
invention, textural interest, and
craftsmanship. The C a v a t i n a,
with the recurrent plaintive chant
in the cello and, later, the first
violin, was particularly excellent.
However, the last two movements,
the Scherzo and the Fanfare were,
for the most part, rather-super-
ficial.
s * *
FOLLOWING the intermission,
the "Andante con Moto" (second
movement) from the "Quartet in
D minor, opus posthumous by
Franz Schubert was played in
memory of Helen Melissa Titus,
of the faculty of the School of
Music who died in Ann Arbor on
December 19, 1958. Miss Titus was
a frequent soloist and performer
in chamber music ensembles, and
the selection was chosen because
this composer had been one of her
favorites.
The final selection was Robert
Schumann's "Quartet in A minor,
opus 41, No. 1." The Whole quar-
tet was played well, the third
movement (the Adagio) being es-
pecially beautiful..
The quartet, on the whole, per-
formed with uniform excellence
and considerable command of the
literature at hand. The attacks
were clean and the phrasing was
soundly executed.
The group produced, during the
evening, a consistently beautiful
tone.-
One can now look forward to
the premiere of the Quartet of El-
liott Carter which has been com-
missioned by the Unive'sity for
the Stanley Quartet in honor of
the organization's tenth anniver-
sary which occurs this year.

DE-STALINIZATION IN REVERSE:
Red' Party Line Switched Again

By WILLIAM L. RYAN
Associated Press Foreign News Analyst
THE SOVIET Communist party's
20th congress two years ago
heard Joseph Stalin blasted as
tyrant and murdered. The current
21st congress has heard him
praised as the man who paved the
way for enormous economic growth
in the Soviet Union.
The same man. Nikita S.
Khrushchev, made the two state-
ments. Why?
The answer apparently is closely
connected with Khrushchev's bat
tle with his opposition inside the
Communist party Central Com-
mittee. His backtracking indicates
he is confident has has won that
battle. and can safely restore Stalin
to a respectable niche in the gal-
lery of Bolshevik heroes.
Khrushchev's denunciation of
Stalin in the same forum two
years ago was so emotional and
so violent that one felt there must
have been some element of gen-
uineness in it. Stalin, indeed,
might have wiped out his whole
Politburo family had he retained
his health.
** *
BUT THE dethroning of Stalin'
at the same time linked with
Stalin those who had been c osest
to the old dictator - Georgi M.
Malenrnry mfoan 1 iy" mce,

led enough strength to drive his
rivals out of the party leadership.
But de-Stalinization always had
in it an element of political danger
to a dictatorship. It seemed clear
in the two years since the denun-
ciation that it had led to what the
hierarchy considered harmful re-
sults, relaxations and arguments.
It seemed clear, also,' that Khrush-
chev wanted the partyranks grad-
ually to forget about his denunci-
ation, and to place Stalin in a
historical niche several cuts below
that of Bolshevik demigod, a role
Stalin assumed in his. later years.
KHRUSHCHEV now can afford
to begin that process. The angry
denunciations of the so-called
anti-party group of Malenkov,
Molotov and former Premier'N. A.
Bulganin which preceded this con-
gress hinted that Khrushchev was
about ready to put the finishing
touches on his political victory.
Apparently he can, if he chooses
to do so at this moment, use the
congress to have the whole anti-
party group denounced, disgraced
and finally read out of the Com.
munist party itself.
This power is a potent threat
over any opposition in the Central
Committee or the ruling party
Presidium to Thrushchev'. a n..

gest that Khrushchev was singing
a hymn to his own leadership..
Praise for Stalin at this point
shows not only that Khrushchev
is confident of his own position
and prospects, but demonstrates a
contempt for the mental processes
of Community' party faithful'
throughout the world. They may
be required once again to do one
of their humiliating intellectual:
flip-flops.

Irrationality . .
