MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDKORD, OREGON TUESDAY, 'DECEMBER 21, 1963 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- TWO FLASHILY dressed individuals, obviously big-market operators, were discussing their transactions in voices loud enough to be heard from one end of the day coach to the other. "When t first looked into that stock it was selling at 23," lamented one. "I've watched it steadily go up to 40, then 50, then 60, and dammit, I never bought a share." "Think it's good for a still further rise?" asked the other. "I certainly do," asserted the first. "You mark my words. Before it's finish ed, that slock' 11 sell at a dollar!" Two Irish lads from Boston were going into jungle warfare for the first time. The captain promised a silver dollar for every one of the enemy they dispatched. Pat lay down under a tree for a little rest while Mike kept watch. Suddenly Mike cried, "They're coming!" "How many?" de manded Pat. "About fifty thousand." estimated Mike. "Glory be," exulted Pat reaching for his weapon. "Our fortune's made"' Jerry Beatty has an apt definition for a situation where a tightwad squirms to avoid paying a check: a shell-out falter.

(UPD Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, buoved bv the eood wishes of her countrymen, prepared a ! quiet but bountiful Christmas today for her children. She planned a private Mass with the children of the late President at the home of his parents, former Ambassador and Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy. A spokesman said Mrs. Ken nedy and the youngsters, Caro line, 6, and John Jr., 3, would I also eat Christmas dinner in ! the evening at the oceanside home of the elder Kennedy, about a mile from the mansion of C. Michael Paul where Mrs. Kennedy and her family have been staying. ! The former First Lady has ; been in seclusion since arriving here last Wednesday, but ven- j lured out on a last-minute shop ping trip late Monday on Palm Beach's exclusive Worth Ave- I nue. When a crowd gathered, she cut the trip short. Drove Away Accompanying Mrs. Kennedy were the youngsters, Ally. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Secret Service men. Mrs. Kennedy went into two shops but when people began recognizing her, she climbed into a car with the children and drove away. Christmas at the Kennedy ; winter home will not be the same as in other years when a gathering of the clan had , been traditional. This year, ! (here will be Mrs. Kennedy, the elder Kennedys, the former First Lady's sister, Princess Lee Radziwill and her two chil dren, and perhaps one or two other family members or close associates. The attorney general and the other brother of the late Presi dent. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D Mass., were here during the weekend, but nlanned to return to' (heir own families in Wash ington today. Bernstein's Third Symphony Includes Dialogue With God SAC Bomber Crashes In Mississippi ABERDEEN, Miss. (UPI)-A Strategic Air Command B52 bomber apparently exploded in air and crashed in a snow covered woodland south of here today, the Air Force said. There were conflicting reports on the number of persons aboard. Air Force officials at the scene reported all six crew men were killed. But the public information office al Columbus Air Force Base reported later nine persons apparently wore 1 aboard. Bv DELOS SMITH NEW YORK (UPD In com posing his third symphony Leon ard Bernstein did not stint him self. It requires a full symphony orchestra, a full chorus of male and female voices, a children's chorus, a soprano soloist, and it contains a spoken dialogue with God. The words arc those of a mournful Jewish hymn in praise of God, "Kaddish," but Bern stein himself is the author of the dialogue. The score is not now available, however; it is under wraps until the first American performance which will be given in Boston late in January. Nine years have passed be tween this new symphony and Bernstein's last one, his second. Even though the symphony is the meat of Bernstein's other in tensely felt musical specialty, the symphony orchestra, he has been composing largely for the Broadway musical theater. Bundle of Emotion As everyone who watches tele vision knows, Bernstein is a bundle of highly energized but thoroughly disciplined emotion. How he expresses himself musi cally and the materials he uses in that expression, are of inter est to the multitudes of viewers who have learned about serious music from him. For several years he has been devoting his summers to com posing this new symphony. (Falls, winters and springs com prise the music "seasons" when he is incredibly busy as a per former.) It was commissioned by the foundation which com memorates the late Serge Kous sevitsky who was musical men tor and teacher to Bernstein. And so it was intended for the Boston Symphony. Kousse vitsky was its musical director and conductor for many years. But when Bernstein got down to the composing, his creative sen sibilities turned to Jewish re ligious emotions, which was con sistent. They dominate his pre vious symphonic creations. When the symphony took the form that justified its sub-title. "Kaddish," Bernstein asked and received permission from the foundation for its first perform ance to take place in Israel and that musical event occurred in Tel Aviv December 10. with the composer conducting the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. It then bore this dedication: "To the beloved memory of John F. Kennedy." Most appro priately, too, even though the symphony was in rehearsal when the President was assas sinated. "Kaddish" is a mourn ful doxology but it constitutes a prayer for ultimate spiritual peace. The Kennedy horror struck Bernstein very deeply, as it did all serious musicians. Their feeling is that Kennedy and his wife were the first occupants of the White House who shared their convictions that music is no mere diversion or pastime bu an expression of man's deep est philosophies and aspiration. They're wrong in this because they forget Thomas Jefferson was a serious and devoted mu sician. Harry Truman is a mu sician, too, and the profession als respect him because he is. On the other hand the Truman taste is not for the music which the Bcrnstcins and others re gard as revelations. Bernstein will take over the active direction of the New York Philharmonic, of which he is music director, January 2, when he launches "The Avant Garde" series of weekly con certs. They will feature the more radical inventions of con temporary composers, including unique "musical" sounds which many musicians and music lis teners persist in reviling as un musical. Toward the end of the month he will take a week off to help the Boston Symphony prepare his new symphony for its first American playing. Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS IRs)iRtf tn4 Tribune) SfiMlicatt mj) Many Animals Have Two Viewpoints Too Seldom does the small animal view the same scene as does the bifd that wings through the tree branches. Each has a view point mostly its own. As men and women, we vary our point of view.

We view things from an average height of about six feet. has no viewpoint at all. He's always in the dark and sees only what his nose is able to tell him. His field of vision is a few inches beyond his snout. Some water dwelling insects enjoy two fields of vision; split level or bifocal sight since their eyes are divided horizontally. One section, the top, looks out across the surface of the pond, the lower half sees what goes on down below. But, unlike the human with the bifocal glasses, the insect is registering two d if - Names for Streets 'Just Sprang To Mind' STAMPLEFORD, England (UPD A housing firm spokes man explaining today why four roads in a new residential de velopment were being named for America's four assassinated presidents.

They live in a world of lower human legs, the owners of the feet and legs tower above them. Unless they look up, their view point is always level or down ward from their heads. The snake which is destined bv nature to be in total contact with the earth at all times, has a viewpoint only within range of its eye position. It would have trouble seeing anything six inches in height. An ant lives in a still lower level; its view point is less than a quarter of an inch above the earth. Its ceiling of sight would be hardly an inch overhead; everything towers above these earth dwell ers. The poor little ground mole STAR GAZEBO lit CLAY R.

Otherwise what the insect may see would prompt it to dive when its lower lens revealed an enemy below. Pringerous It would have to be a rather complicated arrangement whereby two different view points could be quickly separat ed one from another so that the proper decision could be made. They would have to know which image was the more dangerous of the two. A case where "see ing is believing" could be dan gerous. Some of the higher animals have the same problem. Birds have eyes that see only at the sides; the bird's eye view often is a double vision. Think of the elephant, for one. His forehead is in the way, thus his eyes can not focus on the same image at the same time. He looks out to the side and can't even see ahead very well. Of course he has never had it any different, so he doesn't real ize what he may be missing. But he docs have to decide be tween two viewpoints: one he pays attention to, the other im age he ignores.
