Festival Director Plans
Music for Coming Season
Plans for music which will augment the four play of the
1952 Snakespearean festival season wore discussed In Medford
yesterday by Hans Lampt, music director for the season. Mr.
Lampl is on the music faculty of the University of Southern California.
: The director is planning to
train an a cappela chorus, a
group of Madrigal singers, an or
chestra and various small In
strumental groups. It is intended
that these various musical
groups will not only provide ov
ertures and musical background
for the four plays, but plans also
include a full-length concert of
Eliiabethan period music on Au
gust 29.
Director Lampl outlined the
program planned for the con
cert, saying it would include sa
cred music of the period, motets
by Morley, anthems by Byrd
and Gibbons and prayers origin
ally written for Queen Eliza
beth. The director observed that
some of this music Is "very im
pressive." Also on the program will be
Elizabethan love songs, solos by
vocalists, string music and danc
es and fantasies played by a
chamber orchestra. The pro
gram will be concluded with ex
cerpts ' from Purcell's "Fairy
Queen," the director concluded.
Director Lampl stated that he
needs a chorus of at least 40
voices for the program, and is
particularly anxious to enroll
men singers. He stressed that
anyone who wants to sing Is In
vited to join the chorus, and that
experience or the ability to read
music is not necessary, although
desirable. Auditions will be sim
ple, he stated, and merely a mat
ter of determining the range of
voice in order to properly place
the singer.
The chorus will rehearse
twice a week, he said, In Med
ford on Monday evenings and in
Ashland on Friday evenings. Di
rector Lampl will interview and
audition singers next Monday,
June 23, between the hours of
4:30 and 6:30 p.m. at Lincoln
school gymnasium.
i Rehearsals for string instru
ment players will be held Wed
nesday and Saturday evenings.

and brass and woodwind play
ers will rehearse with the strings
Saturdays.
The Madrigal group will be
made up of more experienced
vocalists and will rehearse three
times a week in Ashland during
the afternoon.
Because the time for rehearsal
is short, Director Lampl stated
that he is most anxious to form
the groups and begin rehear
sals at once. "I am sure there is
much musical talent in the dis
trict," he said, "and there is ev
ery reason to believe that we
can work up a chorus and other
groups of which we can be
proud, and which will be a def
inite asset to the festival.
"There will be only one per
formance of the chorus, and it
will be important. The small in
strumental groups will perform
from time to time for plays, and
the schedule will be arranged In
such a fashion that it will not be
burdensome on any one group."
The musician conferred yes
terday with Mrs. Darell Huson,
who is music chairman for Tu
dor guild, auxiliary organiza
tion of the festival. Mr. Lampl,
educated in Europe and In this
country, plays both the violin
and piano and has done much
conducting of both instrumental
and vocal music.
Portland Bakers
Conclude Strike
Portland U.R) Some 500
Portland bakers will return to
their jobs in 25 major bakeries
after midnight- Saturday after
voting 202 to 83 to end their
seven-week strike.
John Leffelman, business
agent of the AFL bakers union
said the employers granted $5
weekly raise boosts for all Job
classifications and accepted an
employer-paid health and wel
fare plan and an escalator clause
geared to the cost of living but
not to Ian below contract rates,
Biggest issue of the strike was
Saturday and Sunday working
hours which the bakers wanted
eliminated. The settlement calls
for the present rotation plan to
remain in effect in six-day oper
ation shops with cake shops hav
ing Sundays off.

Washington U.R The con

movement at the Demo
cratic National Convention are
developing smoothly from day to
day.
A draft movement, real or
phoney, comes only when there
is no stand-out alternative candi
date upon whom the party faith
ful can agree. There are some In
dications that such a situation is
beginning to come about now
among the Democrats.

Judge To Rule on
Kader Tot's Story
Portland (U.R) Circuit Judge
Frank J. Lonergan was to rule
Friday on whether a conversa
tion between Mrs. Jada Z. Kader
and her four-year-old daughter
Vickie can be described to jur
ors hearing her trial on a charge
of murdering another daughter.
The trial was recessed until
the ruling on the admissibility
of the conversation is made.
May Be Only Witness
Vickie, who may have been
the only eyewitness capable of
telling what actually happened
to her three-year-old sister, Sher
rie, has not yet been ruled a com
petent witness la the case.
The conversation the state
wishes to describe occurred be
tween the mother and her
daughter the morning after the
other child's body was found in
a gas sump in southeast Portland
last January.
Talent June Jamboree

Talent The Talent June
Jamboree, which is expected to
be one of the biggest celebra

overflowing, -and apparently
with Mr. Truman's approval.
If Stevenson balked at Chi
cago, the Democrats would b
faced with a confusing variety
of choices. Only Sen. Estes Ke
fauver among them has estab
lished any claim to a national
following. Mr. Truman is cold to
Kefauver's candidacy, powerful
organization figures are against
him and the White House gang,
itself, has thumbs down.
Truman's Feelrhgs Shown
No doubt of Mr. Truman's
feelings toward Kefauver could
survive Thursday's news confer
ence when the President called
the senator's presidential pri
mary defeat here by W. Averell
Harriman an endorsement of the
administration's program.
After Kefauver comes a pa
rade of sectional or favorite son
candidates. Barring only Vice
President Alben W. Berkley,
they can claim no more than
good political connections in
their own geographical areas.
Barkley's great handicp is his 74
years.
Any one of these might be
nominated with the active sup
port of Mr. Truman and those
party leaders whose decisions
and. delegates the President can
control. Mr. Truman has laid It
on the line, however, that the
Democratic nominee and plat
form must be 100 per cent for
mm. tor his administration and
all its works. Whole hog or no
bacon are Mr. Truman's terms
to the man who would succeed
him. And, of course, he wants a
winner.
Says He's Through
Mr. Truman says he is throueh
and no doubt means It. But if no
suitable 100 per cent administra
tion man can be found among the
candidates when the Democrats
gatner at Chicago, there still
will remain one individual
whose loyalty to and enthusiasm
for the Truman administration
could not be questioned.
ihat individual is Harrv S
Truman, himself. He perfectly
ins me pattern Mr. Truman h m.
self has drawn for the 1952 Dem
ocratic presidential nominee.
Labor Federation
i
Defeats Move for
New Labor Party
Seaside, Ore. (U.R) The
Oregon Federation of Labor con
vention Thursday defeated a
move by Portland printers to put
the state convention here on
record in favor of a national
labor party.
The convention approved a re
port recommending the printers'
resolution be defeated. Oppon
ents said such a party would get
no support from farm groups in
the state which now join labor
on many issues.
Aims Not Appreciated
The printers, led by W. F.
Engelfried of the Multnomah
Typographical union 58, had
Claimed that labor s aims were
not appreciated by existing po
litical parties.
The convention endorsed both
the proposed Hells Canyon dam
to be built with federal funds
and the construction of the Pel
ton dam by the Portland General
Electric company.
Salary Issue Approved
The delegates also approved
moves to condemn Portland's re
fusal to raise the salaries of city
employees while spending money
for equipment; to protest against
the use of state employees for
building construction by the
state board of higher education,
and to improve public relations
by local unions.

Dulles Lists Views
Considered for GOP
Foreign Policy Plank
Editor's notet John Foster
Dulles ha been appointed for
eign affairs adviser to the
GOP platform committee. The
following dispatch reveals the
recommendations ha will
make for foreign poller
plank.
New York (U.R) John Fos
ter Dulles will seek to write into
the Republican platform a for
eign policy plank calling for cuts
in defense spending and foreign
aid, and major reliance on air
power for defense, it was learn
ed Friday.
The former Republican advis
er to the State Department be
lieves Sen. Robert A. Taft and
Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower
largely share his views and that
the party will unite behind his
proposals and avoid a foreign
policy fight at the July 7 conven
tion. Views Listed
Dulles, architect of the Japan
ese Peace Treaty and foreign
policy adviser to Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey in his 1948 presidential
campaign, will try to write In
the 500-word limit set for a for
eign, policy plank the following
views:
1. Present military spending is
excessive, and the nation should
concentrate on the type of mili
tary power within the capacity
of a balanced budget.
2. The U. S. should rely chief
ly on striking power, mainly by
air but also by sea, as a deter
rent to Communist aggression.
3. Avoid the Illusion that we
can make Europe impregnable
without regard to Asia.
Policies Inseparable
4. Foreign and domestic pol
icy are inseparable. Dulles be
lieves it is impossible to have a
successful foreign policy dedi
cated to freedom If at home free
dom is curbed.
5. Foreign aid should be re
duced and more emphasis put
on quality than on the quantity
of U. S. contributions.
Dulles doubts that he can put
into the 500 words of a platform

Battle fo Draw
In Scholarship list
Ashland The battle of the
sexes in scholastic standings was
fought to an inconclusive draw
at Southern Oregon college this
spring, according to grade
point averages released by the
registrar's office. Comparison of
grades earned by four popular
husband-wife student teams
showed the man bettering the
woman in two instances and the
woman coming out on top in the
other two family races.
Dean S. Nichols, Medford,
president of the student body,
outstudled wife Anne, 3:40 to
3.37. And Sam Mansfield, Ash
land, was smarter than wife
Marie, 3.80 to 3.48.
But Una Fowler outdid hus
band Floyd 3.82 to 3.50 in an
Ashland race while a Klamath
Falls couple, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Lofdnhl, saw honors go to
wife Betty 3.33 to 3.08.
Male contestants claim ulti
mate superiority since many
work for a living while attend
ing college and the woman
counter with the age-old house
work argument. Mrs. Nichols
attempted to put a clincher on
the argument of more work by
giving birth to a 7 pound 7
ounce son Tuesday of this-wcek.
