School Proposals
Washington (UPD House
Republicans talked up their
own school proposals today,
aware of the possibility that
President Kennedy's educa

on religious dispute.
Rep. Carroll D. Kearns (R
Pa.) introduced Thursday a
three-part education program
he said would save as much
as 50 per cent of Kennedy's
nearly $6 billion school pack
age. A House subcommittee con
sidering Kennedy's $2.4 bil
lion loan and grant program
for colleges and scholarships
hoped to wind up its hearings
today with testimony from
congressmen, educators and
labor spokesmen.

Audience Enjoys
Piano Team Concert
By RICHARD WERNER
For its third concert the
Civic Music association last
night presented Nelson and
Neal, Australian - American
two-piano team at the high
school auditorium.
In a varied and interesting
program these two artists
demonstrated technical prow
ess, interpretive sensitivity
and musicianship of a high
order.
When Cristofori invented
the pianoforte in the early
18th century he named it
from its ability to play soft
(piano) and loud (forte). Nel
son and Neal do just that,
with the various gradations.
And mostly their effects were
achieved by touch. There was
very little pedaling. Perhaps
they will show the way back
to pure piano playing so that
we will be relieved from lis
tening to so many piano pugi
lists. Opening with a Rondeau in
D Major by Schubert set the

tone of the whole evening. It
is charming music and the
beauty of it was projected by
the artists as a continuing
cascade of tones unmarred by
the usual percussive stroke so
often heard.
Heavy Demands
In the Brahms Sonata in F
Minor, Nelson and Neal rose
splendidly to the heavy de
mands this music imposes.
Being a virtuoso himself,
Brahms wrote for virtuosi in
this piece. It abounds in tech
nical and rhythmical difficul
ties. We know this music as
a quintet (piano and string
quartet) and can attest to its
demands even for a violinist.
It is also heavy music, not to
say ponderous in parts, but
this is characteristic of
Brahms. One wag attributed
it to Johannes' fondness for
potato dumplings. This was
the meat course and came at
the right time in the program.
A fine interpretation.
After intermission came the
delectable portions, beginning
with Scaramouche Suite by
Milhaud which is always a
delight.
The Vake by Arensky was
performed exquisitely. The
chromatic figure running
through the work was project
ed in just the right dynamic
intensity, which adds so much
color to this piece.
Pupazzetti by Casella were
five miniatures for marion
ettes. Most delightfully
played.
Real Piano Music
The final work, a Rondo by
Chopin. Here is real piano
music. No one knew the
piano, its capabilities and lim
itations as he did. His choice
of figuration always is con
genial to that portion of the
keyboard whers it is best
played. The fine tracery in the
upper register, the sonorous
chords and catelina in the
middle, 2r.u the sustaining
tones in the bass, all these in
their proper places. Music for
the piano and not adaptable
very successfully to any other
instrument.
The audience enjoyed the
team of Nelson and Neal. And
Nelson (Mrs. Neal) and Neal
were appreciative of the
warmth of the audience. They
responded with five enjoyable
encores. A most pleasant eve
ning. We hope they come
again.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE.
Fire Hose
Disagreement at Meeting
It was an unhappy fire
chief who left the Medford
city council chambers last
night after the council over
ruled his recommendation for
the purchase of new fire hose.
By a vote of 4 to 2, the
council elected to purchase
2,900 feet of fire hose from
the American Rubber com
pany for a bid price of $3,
810. Fire Chief Gordon Bark
er had recommended that the
council purchase the hose
from the Munnell and Sher
rlll company at a bid price
of $4,498-a difference in cost
of $588.
The council voted to re
quire that before the Ameri
can Rubber company hose is
accepted, the company should
give the city a satisfactory
guarantee that the hose will
last a minimum of 10 years.
Although the Munnell and
Sherrlll hose cost more, Chief
Barker contended it is supe
rior in quality and meets the
city's specifications, whereas
the American Rubber com
pany hose does not.
City Manager Robert A.
Duff claimed that the Ameri
can Rubber company hose
does meet the specifications,
and he suggested that if the
city did not accept the low
bid on the hose "it puts us on
the spot." He did not elabo
rate on tills comment.
Four Bids Received
The city had advertised for
2,500 feet of 2V4-inch hose
and 400 feet of l'i-inch hose.
Four bids were received with
American Rubber company's
bid being the lowest and Mun
nell and Sherill's bid the sec
ond lowest. (An in between
bid was received, but it came
in late.)
The fire chief cited two
McGahan
Day, Finds
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington (UPD Several
St. Patricks days ago, the
Hon. Paul
McGahan was
honoring the
occasion as a
good Irish
man should
honor it. He
is a Washing
ton c o r r e s-
pondent of the
P h i ladelphia
Inquirer.
Col. (World
War I and II)
Wllion
McGahan was in the National
Press Club bar. The time was
mid-afternoon ami Sam, the
split-trick bartender, had no
other customers a situation
that the normal thirsts and
working habits of this capi
tal's newsmen was bound to
correct, and soon.
Col. McGahan is a bourbon
m a n bourbon-and-splash to
be precise. With time on his
hands, on one hand, you
mighi say, and his cup of
cheer in the other, Col. McOa-
han was re-t e 1 1 1 n g past
heroics. He safely escorted
Sam through the hell of the
Belleau Woods and Chateau
Thierrys of World War I.
Past Recalled
Together, they marched
with the colonel's division in
the 1919 homecoming parade.
Sam, too young to be a parti
cipant in World War I, was
getting a bullet by bullet ac
count of the ruckus fit for a
history book, with Interrup
tions from time to time dur
ing which the bartender
sloshed a dollop of Virginia
Gentleman into the colonel's
glass and splashed the Ice
with water.
Virginia Gentleman Is sip
pin' stuff that is distilled in
nearby Virginia. It is the
standard bar product of the
Press Club bar. Squeezed,
you mieht say, in the historic
precincts of eastern Virginia,
this elixir of corn tends to
turn men's minds backward
toward the events of the past.
So it was with Col. Mc
Gahan as Sam replenished
the gentleman's glass with
Gentleman at ever briefer In
tervals. The colonel talked
Sam through the postwar
days of peace and depression
and into and through World
War II, with special emphasis
on how times had changed
and never would be again the
same.
On Thing Mining
In looking backward. Col.
McGahan found all rather
rlRht with the world until of
late. But in calling off the
splendors and happy times of
the good old dnvs around the
turn of the century, the colo
nel was reminded of i shock
ing thing Of somethine that
no proud Irishman cmld con
template without anger.
"The shame of it." the colo
nel exclaimed to Sam. "The
shocking, ungrateful, back-of-the-hand
shame of it."
"The shame of what, suh?"
Inquired the puzzled Sam, an
easy-going, Southern drawl
Ing centlcmnn of Italian
descent.
At this point, another custo

main instances where he said
the American Rubber com
pany hose fails to meet city
specifications:
One, the city required that
the rubber in the hose have
a minimum thickness of 45
thousandths of an inch. Bark
er said the American Rubber
hose has a thickness of only
40-thousandths of an inch.
Two, the city specifications
asked that each bidder bid on
its top-quality hose. However,
the American Rubber com
pany submitted a bid on its
fourth-grade hose, the chief
said.
As if to emphasize a point
that the quality of the Ameri
can Rubber company hose is
not up to the standards de
sired by the Medford fire de
partment, Barker pointed out
that the same kind of hose
"failed" at a fire in Grants
Pass last year.
He said the American Rub
ber company denied responsi
bility for the failure, claiming
it was due to an "air burn."
Department's Experience
The chief claimed that the
Medford department's own
experience shows the Mun
nell and Sherrill hose will
last upwards of 20 years,
whereas he said he doesn't
believe the American Rubber
company hose "will last 10
years." He added that the
costlier hose would be cheap
er in the long run.
Except to say that he be
lieves the American Rubber
hose does meet city specifica
tions, Duff did not comment
on those points where Barker
claimed it didn't meet the spe
cifications. Councilman R. L. Van
Sickle, apparently agreeing

with Duff, said: "If we're go
ing to throw out a bid for rea
sons not in the specifications,
then there's no reason for ask
ing for bids in the first place."
He indicated that if the city
wants superior hose, then it
should make this clear in its
specifications.
Councilman Donald Hanson
concurred with Van Sickle on
tills point, and said if the low
bid was not accepted then
"the whole process (of bid
ding) becomes broken down."
Two Support Chief
Councilman Robert Baccus,
who, along with Councilman
Jimmy Dunlevy, were the
only ones to support Barker's
recommendation, said he be
lieves that the public interest
would be better served by
having a better brand of fire
hose.
Councilman Bill Singler
did an about face in his posi
tion on the hose within a
space of five minutes. At first
he said: "It's an inconsistency
in the 'specs' when you have
fourth grade compared to top
grade." Minutes later, how
ever, he agreed with the other
councilmen that the American
Rubber company hose does
meet the specifications.
After a vote to accept the
Munnell and Sherrill bid had
been defeated also by a 4 to
2 vote, Councilman Dunlevy
commented in obvious disap
pointment: "I don't think
we're qualified to know the
technicalities of fire hose, and
if we can't back up our fire
chief, then maybe we should
get a new fire chief."
Councilman Al Bradford
voted with the majority.
Councilmen Fred Robinson
and Stanley Stark were ab
sent from the meeting.

McGahan's complaint had
become a wail and then a
keen resounding through the
bar. Flynn heard it and
challenged.

called out. "A book of the
Irish.
