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.

Mrs. Kennedy
Plans Christmas
I For Children
PALM BEACH, Fla. (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

covered woodland south of here
today, the Air Force said.
There were conflicting reports
on the number of persons

nine persons apparently wore

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.

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

the same scene and see in it
what a friend beside us fails to

only what his nose is able to

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

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.
