Better Than Usual
THE THREE great B's of music were a vehicle of triumph for Dame
Myra Hess last night as she ran the gamut from the classic to
the romantic period. An appreciative audience drew her back for four
encores.
Unlike many performers Dame Hess chose selections which were
more noteworthy as musical compositions than as empty display pieces.

1966 Americans will go to bed at night,
some fear in their hearts, somewhat less
they will see another sunrise.
.e reason is a weapon of war that is re-
ng priority attention by the U.S.S.R. and
E.S.-the ICBM.

case, thermonuclear destructive power-in

alled the "ultimate" weapon, both the U.S.
Russia will have it in their arsenals-ul-,
tely. Edwin Rhees in "Time" magazine
uflates that the U.S. will have such a
pon in "not more than 10 years."
lssia may have an ICBM even sooner. Her
to date is an 800-mile missile, and the
med Senator Henry Jackson (Dem.-Wash.)
is, "There is danger that the Soviets may
a 1,500-mile ballistics missile before the
of this year."
ur best to date is the 200-mile Army Red-
e.
he magic number in missile development is
) miles. With that range a single missile,
i from U.S. or Russian bases, could de-.
r any city in the world provided it wasn't
down-and therein lies a problem.
T HE ICBM's effect on U.S. foreign policy
should be nothing short of cataclysmic;
1. We will no longer be able to rely on our
B-52 laden air bases in England, West Ger-
many, France, Spain, and Morocco. B-52's
are much less than ultimate.
2. Allies will be difficult to come by-much
harder to keep. Even Great Britain, France,
Turkey, and possibly Canada may not want
the destruction of any city in the world to be
within their borders.
These are but two problems to be faced in
the ICBM Age--saying nothing of the psycho-
logical effects this powder-keg world will have
on the minds of men. Perhaps we will need
something comparable to Huxley's soma pills
to make life bearable.
The situation clearly dictates the immediate
policy for the U.S. We must intensify our
crash program for developing the ultimate
weapon-the ICBM.
We must, Jtst as importantly, devote much
effort to an "ultimate" defense (MIT is said
to be working on a ray that will jam the trigger
of an A-bomb).
But most important, we must continue to
work within the UN, seeking there a feasible
disarmament or arms inspection program,
while also conciliating any rifts that would
cause ICBM buttons to be pushed.

Scarlatti, and the prelude from the
Cantata No. 106 by Bach.
THE FIRST WORK on the pro-
grom was an adagio in G major
by Bach. A simple descending
moive of but two chords is de-
veloped into a remarkable dialogue
between the two hands with the
germinal phrase and its immediate
echo underlying the whole. Dame
Hess's execution of this piece was
flawless. The several melodic lines
were kept ever separate and dist-j
inct, in a manner one might have
expected from a harpsichord per-
formance, for which indeed Dame
Hess is perhaps best known.
fugue.
* * *
THE THIRD selection was the
high spot on the program for this
reviewer, the Sonata in D minor,
Op 31, No. 2 of Beethoven. The
first movement of this work is
incredible. The main theme is a
very short arpeggio, played slowly
and softly. Before the movement
is over it has become brilliant and
forceful, survived some masterful
interruptions by subsidiary mater-
ial, and subsided into a quiet coda.
The second movement begins
with a theme so similar rhyth-
micly to the. one just heard that
the two movements are very
strongly linked into a remarkable
whole. The last movement is fleet,
brilliant, and' relatively short; a
perfect close to a remarkable work.
This great work with a superb
performance to match, cast a
shadow over the remainder of the
brogram. The mere twenty minutes
or so of intermission were scarcely
sufficient fors the spell of the
Beethoven to be dispelled.
* *
THE EARLY Brahms sonata,
opus 8, which closed the program
suffered as a consequence. Par-
ticularly the opening movements:
the first seemed bombastic and in-
coherent; the second unpleasantly
long and slow.
The second movement may have,
seemed familiar to a n y o n e
acquainted with the Pathetique
Sonata, Opus 13, No. 8 of Beeth-
oven. The dramatic scherzo fin-
ally exorcised the lingering ghost
of classicism, and the succeeding
intermezzo, a perfect jewel of a
movement, was thoroughly enjoy-
able in the clearer air. The last
movement was an exciting close to
a truly marvelous concert.

Fingerprinting Not A Necessity

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
Gore Should Be Good Prober
By DREW PEARSON
DAILY
)NGRESS is studying a proposal to aban-
don the requirement compelling foreigners
ering this country to be fingerprinted..
he requirement has caused continual diffi-
;y with the Soviet Union. The Russians,
) claim fingerprinting is only for gangsters,
kept America-bound delegations at home
her than have them submit to the rule.
;h groups have included a group of editors
Russian college papers and the Bolshoi
let Company.
'he requirement should be dropped.
t is not that we necessarily need comply
h all Russian demands. But in this case,
conditions at which the Soviet criticism
irected neither serve any important purpose
us nor would their removal give any sort
"advantage" to the Communists.
resident Eisenhower in support of the re-
yal, recently stated, "Experience . . . has
wn that this requirement does not signifi-
tly contribute to our national safety and
urity." The requirement, however, has de-
tely interfered with our international re-
ons.
'o be entirely strict concerning the ques-
1, one would have to say that it should be
to Russia to comply with our rules and
toms if she wants to send people here,
refore she is in the wrong. The United
tes attaches no disgrace to being finger-
printed and the practice is traditional for all
visitors.
But to someone who was never fingerprinted
in his life and never expected to be, the e*-
perience obviously is disturbing. It is not
particularly amicable to quibble so intently
about the requirement, since retaining it is
not essential.
Exchanges of cultural, scientific, educational.
and general groups might further a consid-
erable lessening of tension. They would at
least promote Soviet-American understanding.
We should take every reasonable step within
the realm of possibility to promote such an
exchange program.
There is always the question of whether the
Russians are only stalling by this device and
don't really intend to promote such a program;
and if we do remove these requirements they
will only jump on some other technicality to
quibble about.
BUT by removing the fingerprint restriction,
we would not lessen national security or
hurt our international standing. We would
not even lose face.
If Russia still hestitates to go on into the
exchange program, it will only be Russia that
will lose face.
-TED FRIEDMAN
SENATOR Albert Gore, Tennes-
see Democrat, picked to carry
on the gas lobby probe, is a young
Senator of unimpeachable integ-
rity who stood up against Senator
Lyndon Johnson in backstage dis-
cussions of the gas lobby. Gore
insisted the whole gas lobby in-
vestigation should be broadened.
When Senator Hennings (D-Mo.)
was called to Johnson's office to
persuade him to side-step the
Case investigation - Gore went
with him-at Hennings' request.
As the hour of 2 p.m. approach-
ed, Gore and Hennings were still
closeted with Johnson and John-
son was still arguing that the reg-
ular elections committee, of which
both Hennings and Gore were
members, shouldnot investigate.
Finally Gore became impatient.
"Let's go,". he told Hennings,
"it's after 2 p.m. and Senator Case
was scheduled to meet with us at
two."
"Go ahead," shot back John-
son, "I didn't invite you here."
Gore and Mansfield of Mon-
tana will be the two Democrats
on the regular Elections Commit-
tee. They can be depended upon
to do a good job. Curtis of Ne-
braska, the Republican member,
has thrown every possible road-
block in the path of any broad-
ened investigation.
SOME WEEKS ago, I accompa-
nied Alcohol Tax Unit agents on
the raid of a moonshine still near
Roanoke, Va. Except for a near
case of frostbite, I encountered no
grave dangers during the raid, and
later portrayed on television the
gun-point arrest of the moonshin-
ers. They turned out to be rather
friendly fellows, however, and even
consented to be interviewed on
television.
But the other day, Representa-
tive J. Vaughan Gary of Virginia
voiced alarm over my part in the
drama. He was questioning Sec-
retary of the Treasury George M.
Humphrey behind closed doors.
"The committee was rather sur-
prised to hear on the radio and in
the press that a newspaper re-
porter and photographer had ac-
companied one of the raids of the
Alcohol Unit of your department,"
declared Representative G a r y
gravely.
* * *
"IT IS ENTIRELY possible that
a person accompanying a raiding
party of that kind could be ser-
iously injured and . .. present a
question as to whether the gov-
ernment should compensate that
person for his injuries."
Secretary Humphrey said that
he wasn't personally acquainted
with the case, but Representative
Gary pressed him.
"I'do know from watching the
television that in some > of the
shows newspaper reporters un-
earth a lot of facts. I do not know
any more than you do about this,
but .. . I should think there should
be a good reason for it if they
accompany a raiding party."
Humphrey promised to "check
into it."
S* * *
BEHIND THE RIOT-Headlines
from Spain are some disturbing
facts that indicate our billion
dollar investment in Dictator
Franco, made at the urging of
Franco's $75,000 a year lobbyist,
Charles Patrick Clark, rests on
shaky ground.
1. Franco is getting old and is
tired.
2. The Franco bloc is gradually
disintegrating.
3. There is uneasiness among
workers, open revolt among stu-
dents, a general weariness after
17 years of dictatorship.
The big Spanish problem, as in
all dictatorships, is who will re-
place the dictator when he goes?
A democracy is geared to take
changes in its stride, but not a
dictatorship. A Spanish monarchy
would get nowhere. There would
be immediate revolt. A change
from Franco to some military
leaders such as General 'Munoz
Grande or General Garcia Valino
would only align two rival army
groups against each other.
* * *
BUT THE MOST serious prob-
lem is Spanish flirtation with Rus-
sia at the top and a drift toward
Communism at the bottom.
The Franco government has no-
thing in common with the Demo-
cracies except getting American
dollars to bolster its regime. But
Franco does have something in
common with Russia-upsetting
the French in North Africa and
expanding Spanish domination in
that rich area.
At the bottom meanwhile, large
groups of Spaniards who have re-
sisted the dictatorship for a Demo-
cratic form of government have
received no encouragement from
the Western democracies. So they
have been veering toward Com-
munism. There has been deep
Communist infiltration among the
students, workers' syndicates, in-
tellectuals, even among public of-
ficials.
The tragedy is that Fascist to-
talitarianism has prepared Spain
for totalitarian Communism. Un-
der both Fascism and Communism
there is no middle road. C.

TODAY AND TOMORROW:
Inteyration in Politics
{ IBy WALTER LIPPMANN
THERE is mounting evidence of grave trouble
ahead over integration in the public schools
of the Southern states. For in recent weeks
we have come nearer to the question which
can divide the country dangerously. Is the
decision of the Supreme Court to be put into
effect gradually and with the eventual consent
of the leaders of 'Southern opinion or is the
Federal government to be called upon to enforce
integration against the resistance of the South?
This question poses as fateful a dilemma as
any internal American.question that has arisen
for several generations. It arouses great hum-
an passions which cannot be reconciled, which
can only;be assuaged and accommodated in this'
generation, They are passions which boil up
quickly into violence, and 'they can be kept
within bounds only when and only while there
is great wisdom and resolution in the leaders
of the country.
The temptation to play politics with these
passions is almost overpowering. And it is the
approach of the national election, the struggle
between the two parties and also the struggle
within the parties, particularly within the Dem-
ocratic party, which have brought the dilemma
to the surface.
r
IT IS significant that the closer a public man
is to the presidency, the more will he shrink
from the idea of Federal enforcement, as
distinguished from persuasion and accommo-
dation. Governor Stevenson has been notably
firm and decisive and the President, though
his words were a bit cloudy, is certainly not
considering intervention by the Federal exe-
cutive power.
It is the politicians, the men who have little
or no prospect of themselves being in the White
House and bearing the President's responsibili-
+v uri r 'eafne ~ I:n.1.. ,
persuasion or by Federal enforcement.
are two different roads, and no one
think he can go down both of them at
These
should
once'
CONSIDER, for example, the Powell Amend-
ment which would withhold Federal aid
from states or school districts that do not in-
tegrate their schools. Let no one suppose that
the Southern states will give in and accept
integrated schools because some Federal money
is withheld from them. To suppose that they
will give in is to mistake the temper of the
South, particularly the temper of the Deep
South.
What, then, are Rep. Joseph L. Martin and
Governor Harriman going to propose next,
once they find that withholding money does not
induce the Southern states to yield? If they
start on the path of coercion, the authority of
the executive power will be engaged and new
measures of coercion will be demanded to up-
hold that authority. For unless the Federal
government is going to confess that it is beat-
en, it must, keeping the path of Federal en-
forcement-become more and more coercive.
No one should doubt that the attempt at
Federal enforcement will intensify and harden
the resistance of the South. Those who are
disposed to try to work out integration gradu-
ally will resent the Federal government's ef-
forts to coerce them. The problem of inte-
gration will become progressively more insol-
uble in the South, the racial passions will be-
come increasingly sharp, the sectional feeling
increasingly disruptive.
THE way things are developing is a reason for
asking ourselves whether the decision of the
Supreme Court does not need to be supple-
mented. As it stands now, the question of what

I propose the following as a new
' amendment to the constitution of
the United States.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT:
SECTION ONE
This Amendment establishes and
defines the act of any person oc-
cupying a public office or position
who uses the power of the office
or position unlawfully to violate
the rights, privileges, properties
and dignities of any citizen is
committing an act of tyranny
against a citizen, defined by this
Amendment "A Crime," the vio-
lation of which, trial is authorized
and punishment is prescribed.
SECTION TWO
Section Two should establish
that upon reasonable evidence or
affidavit, the person suspected of
tyranny against a citizen be
brought to immediate trial before
a jury. All cases of tyranny
should be tried before a jury.
SECTION THREE
Should establish that the jury
be charged with the duty to find
the guilt or innocence of the per-
son charged with tyranny and to
set the penalties. The penalties

'ts' War
Apology
THE men responsible for "The
Desert Rats" have fashioned a
neat photographic exercise in ex-
citing small-scale wartime man-
euvers.
Their adventure, set in 1941
North Africa, is, concerned with
the heroic British stand at Tobruh.
against Nazi Field Marshal Rom-
mel's forces, and has the taut feel
of newsreel shots and the death's
door tedium of hole-to-hole desert
fighting.
Aside from brilliant pictorial
realism,' however, "The Desert
Rats" has little of any value. The
reason is most probably that
"Desert Rats" has been made to
show that the British forces were
really' heroic and to provide a pub-
lic apology for another film, "The
Desert Fox," in which the British
were not so heroic.
"Desert Fox" was released a few
seasons prior to the 1953 "Desert
Rats" and was a biography about
Rommel in which the Field Mar-
shall was treated with a predomin-
antly sympathetic tone. This so
enraged many individuals who still
remembered the North African
campaigns that the studio, Twen-
tieth-Century Fox, was forced to
present the so-called "other side"
in another picture--and thus "The
Desert Rats" was born.
* * *
THE SECOND feature should
please all who uphold British
courage, but it is likely to do little
more, its movement being restrict-
ed solely to a physical plane and
its characters being conceived in
stagnant and stereotyped terms.
The film is composed of little
battle vignettes interspersed with
dialogue, between two principal
(Richard Burton) and Bartight
(Robert Newton). MacRoberts is
a highly efficient military discip-
linarian who is hated by his men
because they resent mechanical
and by-the-books authority. Bar-
tight is a philosophizing and nev-
er-sober coward.
