CONCENTRATION of key personnel of the Portland Symphony Orchestra which
appeared in Roseburg Tuesday night is evidenced in this pre-concert shot as
the musicians go over the score. Pictured from left are Hugh Ewart, concert
master; Reman Dukson, principal cellist; and Russel White, French horn play
er and personnel manager of the orchestra. The appearance of the big sym
phonic group in Roseburg was undoubtedly the chief 'highlight of the fall season
for the local area. An enthusiastic audience of around 1,500 persons attended
the concert. (News-Review photo)
Portland Symphony Delights Huge Local Audience
By MARION BYRON
News-Review Staff Writer
Roseburg came of age mu
sically Tuesday night when it
played host to what must cer
tainly be considered one of the
country's, finest orchestras, the
Portland Symphony.
The event will undoubtedly be
considered a musical and cut
tural milestone not only .for
Roseburg but for her sister
communities in the county who
thought so much of the import
ance of the occasion that they
sent school busses loaded with
appreciative young music lovers
to share in the musical treat.
It was amply evident that no
body was disappointed. The
standing ovation given conduc
tor Jacques Singer and his or
chestra at the conclusion of the
concert left no doubt at all that
it had been an exhilarating eve
ning and that musical appetites
had been whetted for more of I
the same fare. A crowd esti
mated at upward of 1,500 per
sons was loathe to leave the!

Appearance here of the Port

reviewer's knowledge is the
most concentrated presentation
of musical talent ever to be

Top Republican
Candidates Get
Support Of Ike
WASHINGTON (UPI) For
mer President Dwight D. Ei
senhower told fellow Republi-i
cans Tuesday night that he
could support any of the prom
inently mentioned possibilities
for the 1964 GOP presidential
nomination.
Sen. Barry Goldwaler of Ari
zona, the current pace setter,
was the only one of those pos
sibilities in the audience of
about 800 celebrating Eisenhow

the event.
The former President said he
was confident that any of the
possible candidates met two

Valachi will be questioned
about unsolved gangland . slay
ings, particularly the murder
on Sept. 25, 1959 of Anthony
Carfano, known in the under
ground as "Little Augie Pis
ano."
According to Valachi's story,
Vito Gcnovese gave the "hit"
or kill order for Little Augie
after he objected to the attempt
ed assassination of the then syn
dicate kingpin,. Frank Costcllo.
It was after the aborted at
tempt on Costello's life that Ge
novese, now serving a prison
term on a narcotics conviction,
rose to the top of the mob.
Valachi's testimony before the
Queens grand jury could possi
bly result in an indictment
against Genovese.
Valachi said he was given the
"kiss of death" by Genovese
when they were cellmates in
the federal penitentiary in At
lanta. The informer is current
ly serving a life sentence for
the murder in the Atlanta jail
of a fellow prisoner. Valachi
suspected the prisoner had been
ordered by Cosa Nostra to kill
him.
