Arthur Straus, principal, By FRED DANZIG Uniled Press International New York (DPI The faces belonged to Russians, young and old, but the expressions said "It's an annual event which the administration and faculty look forward to, for the simple reason that it's the first time we get many par ents to come for some reason other than sports, and have the opportunityto meet them."' .

Friday, ending the first six week ; marking period, six week exams wer taken at the end of the week through out the school. were thoroughly familiar. Thanks to TV, we have seen such rapt, sublime ; expres sions on our own young and old after exposure to perform ances by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philhar monic. . The first of four concerts by this famed team was film ed in Moscow during a recent tour and shown Sunday night on CBS-TV. It was a reward ing, captivating hour. Bernstein told his Russian audience, "Americans and Russians simply love each other's music." He proceeded to prove his point with some musical evidence in composi tions from both nations. Similarities also were read ily apparent as his great or chestra performed excerpts from Copland's "Billy : the Kid" ballet suite and Shosta kovich's Seventh Symphony. The camera caught superb closeups of audience members and moved into the orchestra itself to heighten the cogency of- the moment. Bernstein's own passions and gestures, al though somewhat theatrical looking at times, certainly added to my understanding of the music. The sponsor kept the com mercials to a bare minimum. Perhaps the only wrong note came when Attorney- Joseph N. Welch delivered s talk on citizenship. - His lecture was well-intentioned but did noth ing to heighten the orches- Telethons for worthy causes may have been ren tra's dramatic impact, dered obsolete by NBC-TVs one-hour tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt on her diamond jubilee Sunday night.

' , ' Cary Grant, who created the movie role of Mr. Lucky, wouldn't start in the TV se ries about the gentleman gam bler, so John Vivyan, whose chin is equally indented, landed the job. The CBS-TV series premiered on Saturday, is a Peter Gunn look-alike. But this is natural since it is assembled by the slick lads of Spartan productions, the grantophiles who gave us Gunn. Spartan means frugal, severe, and this describes the acting, plot and dialogue in the lucky-son-of-a-Gunn for mat. The settings are more opulent, since the hero must be a night person, suave and sex-reeking. Vivyan; manages to somnambulate through some shattering experiences with a supercilious smile or boisterous laughter. ' It's all very dreamlike and, since the gamble appears to have been taken out of this combination, TV's new gambling man should stick around for a while. The cards are stacked for him. 109-Year-Old Walks To Get Pension Check Algiers -0PD- Touat Mohand Said, 109, walked 93 miles from his tent village of Soum man to Algiers to claim his old age pension, officials said Sunday.

Al exander Wiley (R-Wis.) has proposed that the United Stat es launch an "operational weatherman" satellite to relay weather data to the entire world. Wiley, a member of the Senate Space committee, said Sunday that an international weather satellite would be "a symbol of American leader ship in world cooperation" that would benefit all na tions. He said he understood that such a satellite "could be pro duced and put in orbit in about six months." This coun try could give other nations the code for interpreting data sent back by the satellite, he added.. Wiley said "the recent trag edy of 5,000 deaths in Japan" from storms and floods "could possibly have been averted if such a space weather station had existed." The Wisconsin senator also demanded that the U.S. space program be streamlined to eliminate overlapping and to concentrate on the develop ment of "projects that show the greateset promise."
